Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 120 Terrible

After Wei Zhaojun left, Zhou Weimin looked around Yang Shibin's office.

The layout of the office is not much different from that of Li Huaide's. Everything there is is available here, and there are even some vintage ornaments on the bookshelf.

Just from this point, Zhou Weimin knew that Yang Shibin was not as honest as the rumors in the factory said.

Maybe it is true that we do practical things, but we definitely enjoy them.

While Zhou Weimin was thinking, Yang Shibin put down his pen, put the document into the file bag, stretched his body, and then said with a smile: "Weimin, I have a lot of things on my hands. I'm sorry to call you over and make you wait for me."

"Director, what are you talking about? It's my duty to wait for you. If I asked you to wait for me, that would be a problem."

Zhou Weimin joked, not as nervous as he was with Li Huaide.

He and Yang Shibin are not on the same path, and he does not want to get any benefits from Yang Shibin.

"What are you talking about? We are all comrades, but we have different work assignments. There is no problem with me waiting for you."

Yang Shibin pointed at Zhou Weimin and said with a smile, "You don't have to be so restrained. In the future, when no one is around, you don't have to call me Director Yang. Just call me Uncle Yang."

"How can that be possible? Calling you the factory director is a sign of respect for you."

Zhou Weimin laughed and laughed.

Yang Shibin would not get closer to others for no reason, and he would not call Yang Shibin "Uncle Yang".

You can't just recognize relatives randomly. Even if he is now making a living under Li Huaide, he can't have such a relationship with Yang Shibin.

When the wind blows, those who suffer the most are those who try to please both sides.

If you don't have enough strength, don't even think about playing both sides and reaping all the benefits. That's not going to happen easily.

"That's a coincidence. I didn't ask you to come here today for anything. I just wanted to ask if you have encountered any difficulties in your work in the canteen. The canteen is the front line to ensure the lives of the workers. If there are any difficulties, they must be solved in time. Don't cover up the quilt."

As Yang Shibin spoke, his expression turned serious, and the atmosphere in the room also became somewhat solemn.

"We haven't encountered any difficulties. The canteen has been running normally during this period. After some minor adjustments, the workers have fewer complaints about our canteen. I eat in various canteens at noon, and everyone is very satisfied with the work of our canteen."

Zhou Weimin wasn't sure what Yang Shibin meant, so he reported his work in a serious manner.

This would be the least wrong thing to do before Yang Shibin reveals his ideas.

"Hey~~Don't be so serious. I've seen the changes in the cafeteria. Leaders from other factories are also very satisfied with the canteen's hospitality work."

Yang Shibin waved his hand and a smile appeared on his face again, as if he was not the one who had suddenly been serious just now.

He stood up and walked out from behind the desk, sat down next to Zhou Weimin, and then continued kindly: "Weimin, I heard that the canteen's reception has been done by Master Nan Yi recently. Yesterday, Master Nan Yi was so tired that he went to the infirmary. Is this true?"

"Yes, recently the factory's receptions have all been handled by Master Nan Yi. His collapse from exhaustion has nothing to do with the work in the kitchen. I have already investigated this matter. The reason why Master Nan Yi collapsed from exhaustion is because a certain neighbor in their yard disturbed Master Nan Yi's rest every night, which led to what happened yesterday."

Zhou Weimin nodded and told what he had learned.

Since Yang Shibin has taken the lead, let's see how he will handle it, and get to know Yang Shibin better.

"There is such a thing. Weimin, you have to handle this matter well. Cooks have to deal with kitchen knives. If they are not in a good mental state, it is easy to get into trouble."

Yang Shibin frowned, but only gave a warning, then changed the subject and said: "Actually, I asked you to come here today to talk to you about Nan Yi. Nan Yi's craftsmanship is indeed outstanding, and it can make people shine no matter where it is placed, but..."

At this point, Yang Shibin paused, looked at Zhou Weimin and said quietly: "Nan Yi made a mistake before and was expelled from the machine repair factory. He became the chef of the machine repair factory again a few months ago when he was transferred to our factory. Weimin, when you let Nan Yi do the reception, you must be more careful to avoid any problems. This time being targeted by the neighbors has already explained some problems." "Director Yang, I understand, I will pay attention. If necessary, I will replace Nan Yi to do some important receptions to prevent problems before they happen."

This was the first time that Zhou Weimin felt the importance of ingredients in this era.

Yang Shibin's words almost defined Nan Yi without any investigation. This was really scary.

It's not like he hadn't heard Nan Yi talk about making mistakes before.

It was entirely because of his background that he was targeted by the previous factory leaders and was expelled from the factory.

The reason he was able to return to the machine repair factory was because of the workers' dissatisfaction and the appointment of a new leader, who called him back.

But when it came out of Yang Shibin's mouth, the meaning changed completely.

Zhou Weimin was not sure whether this was because of Nan Yi’s background or because Nan Yi was transferred here by Li Huaide.

After all, Nan Yi is just a cook. If it was because of Li Huaide, it would be a bit of an exaggeration.

Yang Shibin's eyelids twitched, and he asked uncertainly, "You take over? Wei Min, are you saying that your cooking skills are good enough for entertaining?"

You should know that when he went to see his leader, he would often bring a chef and a projectionist with him, just to leave a good impression on his leader.

Most of the projectionists are slick people. Hong Sihai finally came out, but he was transferred to the textile factory this year. He was hoping that the cook could bring one of his own people over.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Weimin actually said that he would take over, and he didn't look like he was bragging, so how could he lead his own people?

"Yes, Director, I have worked as a receptionist before, and the leaders were quite satisfied. Don't worry about the canteen, I will definitely not embarrass you."

Zhou Weimin nodded, but did not say that it was a treat for Duan Weihong, he just said that he had done it before.

He was now certain that Yang Shibin came just for Sha Zhu, which made his impression of Yang Shibin plummet to the bottom.

It is too shameful for the director of a factory with tens of thousands of employees to get involved because of a cook.

"Then I'm relieved. Weimin, Lao Liang will retire in a few months. You must consult him carefully. The canteen's affairs will fall on you in the future. Do your best."

Yang Shibin didn't know how to treat Zhou Weimin for a moment, but finally patted him on the shoulder and made a promise with something that was almost certain.

"I will continue to work hard."

Zhou Weimin said this seriously, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He wasn't sure whether he had offended Yang Shibin this time, but he had to do it.

Fortunately, his status was strong enough, so Yang Shibin would not touch him because of these trivial matters.

If he was really provoked, he wouldn't mind stepping on Yang Shibin a few times when the wind blew.

"You go back first, I won't keep you any longer."

Yang Shibin smiled gently and walked towards the desk.

Zhou Weimin bowed slightly to say goodbye, then turned and left the office.
