Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 95 Rules
"Wei Min, don't worry, I'll just show the movie there, and I won't say anything I shouldn't say."

Xu Damao nodded repeatedly, fearing that if he was slow to make his promise, Zhou Weimin would give this good thing to someone else.

After talking to Xu Damao for a few more words, Zhou Weimin returned to his office.

Before he could even get comfortable in his chair, Liang Shaoyou pushed the door and walked in.

"Wei Min, you're finally back. The textile factory called just now and said they want Sha Zhu to go to their place tonight and treat them to a meal."

"Director Liang, do you agree?"

Zhou Weimin frowned. He didn't expect this to happen.

Liang Shaoyou had a bitter face and said helplessly: "How can I not agree? This is not a big deal."

He knew that Zhou Weimin had dealt with Sha Zhu, but he couldn't refuse the textile factory, so he came here to apologize.

Zhou Weimin looked at him and said with a smile, "Director Liang, why are you looking so sad? Our factory doesn't have any reception today. It's just that Sha Zhu didn't agree to let Nan Yi go. The textile factory is so happy that they can't wait to go."

Liang Shaoyou has been controlled by Sha Zhu for too long. Whenever he encounters anything related to Sha Zhu, he becomes gloomy and sad.

Liang Shaoyou patted his hairless head and said with a wry smile: "It's true. You see, I'm old now and my mind can't bend anymore."

"Then I'll go inform Sha Zhu. Director Liang, do you want to come with us?"

Zhou Weimin smiled and shook his head, then stood up and walked out the door.

Liang Shaoyou followed Zhou Weimin and whispered, "Let's go together. If Shazhu does something stupid, just say I agreed."

He is about to retire, so it is better to have less trouble than more. It would be best if the cafeteria was always clean. He doesn't want the two of them to make a big noise and affect his retirement.

When the two arrived at the third canteen, it was not as lively as yesterday. Apart from the sounds of people working, almost no one was talking.

After lifting the door curtain and walking in, Zhou Weimin found that everyone was working very carefully, as if any noise would cause an accident.

"Isn't this Deputy Director Zhou? What are you scolding me for today?"

He Yuzhu, who was mixing the seasoning, looked up when he heard the noise and saw Zhou Weimin and Liang Shaoyou. He couldn't help but sneer.

Zhou Weimin ignored his taunting and said calmly, "He Yuzhu, let's go to the textile factory tonight to prepare a treat."

The only thing He Yuzhu has left is his foul mouth, there's no need to get angry with him.

"No, I'm a cook at a steel mill, not a textile factory. Why should I be a waiter there?"

He Yuzhu put down the things in his hand, put on an expression as if you came to ask me for help, and spoke to Zhou Weimin in a casual manner.

As for Liang Shaoyou behind Zhou Weimin, who is he? He is the same as the director or deputy director, and he has no right to control He Yuzhu.

"Okay, then you don't have to go."

Zhou Weimin nodded, turned around and left without saying any more nonsense.

He came here just for the sake of formality, to be entertained at the textile factory, with food, gifts and benefits. If Sha Zhu didn't want him, it would be a good opportunity to give him to Nan Yi.

"No, Zhou Weimin, stop right there. Explain to me clearly what you mean by you don't need to go."

Seeing him leave so abruptly, He Yuzhu became anxious. He shouted and chased after him, blocking Zhou Weimin.

Zhou Weimin stopped and said expressionlessly: "You are no longer needed for the reception. Don't you understand what I am saying?"

He Yuzhu stared at him with those big eyes and said angrily: "The textile factory specifically asked me to be the receptionist, why don't you let me do it?" "Tsk tsk, silly Zhu, you are really funny, how can you say such a thing. You are the one who said you couldn't go, but now you ask me why. I tell you, silly Zhu, just because I am the deputy director of the cafeteria, you are not the only one in our factory who can be a receptionist, if you don't want to do it, there are many people who can do it. You really take yourself seriously, and don't even look down at who you are."

Zhou Weimin pushed Sha Zhu away and walked out of the kitchen with Liang Shaoyou.

His sarcasm made He Yuzhu blush, but he didn't dare to do anything.

Seeing that everyone in the kitchen was looking at him, he immediately shouted angrily: "What are you looking at? Do you still want to work? Get to work!"

Liang Shaoyou couldn't help but smile when he heard the roar coming from behind him.

This was the first time he saw He Yuzhu so aggrieved. Before Zhou Weimin came, he was the one who was aggrieved.

But even though he thought so, he still said with some worry: "Wei Min, is this really okay? Master Nan Yi will inevitably be unable to spare time, and then Sha Zhu will have to take over."

Zhou Weimin smiled and said casually, "There's nothing wrong with it. Sha Zhu and I grew up in the same courtyard, and I know all his skills. It's just that I was in the purchasing department before, so this skill is useless to me."

"If only I had known this earlier, why don't you go and do it at the textile factory today? Maybe you can build a good relationship with the leaders of the textile factory."

Liang Shaoyou said this jokingly, thinking that Zhou Weimin was just bragging.

No matter how useless Sha Zhu is, his skills are still top-notch in the steel rolling mill. He doesn't think Zhou Weimin has such skills.

"There's no reason for me to go. Nan Yi has just arrived at the factory. It would be good for him to get in touch with other factories. There will be a lot of such things in the future."

Zhou Weimin said with a smile that he had no intention of becoming a chef.

……

evening.

Zhou Weimin was having dinner with his younger brother at home and talking about what happened at the factory today. Yi Zhonghai walked in with a sullen face without knocking on the door.

"Wei Min, you went too far today."

Zhou Weimin put down the steamed bun in his hand and said indifferently: "Master Yi, let's talk later if you have anything to say. I told you before that my home is not your home. Knock on the door before entering the house. This is the rule."

"..."

Yi Zhonghai's words were interrupted and his expression became even uglier, as if he had eaten a dead fly.

But he still stepped out and knocked on the door. After all, he had been emphasizing the rules and he couldn't be the first to break them.

"Master Yi, if you have anything to say, just say it at the door. There's nothing bad to say."

Just when Yi Zhonghai was about to enter the house, Zhou Weimin stood up and blocked the door, lifted a corner of the curtain, and said indifferently.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned livid, but he still suppressed his anger and said through gritted teeth: "Zhou Weimin, don't go too far. We are all neighbors, don't make it too ugly."

"Are you threatening me? I want to know what I did to make you so angry."

Zhou Weimin leaned against the door frame, took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and started cracking them.

Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Okay, then I'll tell you. Today the textile factory wants Zhuzi to go over as a receptionist, why don't you let him go, and let the newly arrived Nan Yi go instead? Outsiders are outsiders after all, and you and Zhuzi are neighbors! You've only met Nan Yi a few times, do you know who he is, and aren't you afraid that he'll cause trouble for you at a critical moment?"

"I don't know if Nan Yi is reliable, but Sha Zhu is definitely not reliable."
