Siheyuan: Shazhu's Leisurely Life

Chapter 9 The Big Treasure in the Factory
"Comrade He Yuzhu from your factory is amazing. Why not transfer him to our meat processing plant? When we slaughter pigs at the end of the year, I will leave an extra fat pig weighing more than 200 kilograms for your steel plant! In the future, your steel plant will not suffer any loss in terms of meat coupons or anything else."

It seems that Old Li is trying to poach people.

A cook who can cook is not only able to satisfy the appetite at ordinary times, but also can bring honor to the unit at critical moments, such as banquets held at a steel mill!
As Li Yongxin spoke, the leaders of several other brother units also reacted. Before Yang Xinmin could respond, these factory directors also spoke up.

"Good job, Old Li, you acted quickly. Director Yang, our machine repair factory is also willing to open this door if Comrade He Yuzhu can come to our machine repair factory..."

"Our textile factory..."

At one time, all the factory managers said what conditions their factories could offer. In normal times, when Li Yongxin of the meat processing factory spoke first, most people would be too lazy to get involved, after all, the meat processing factory was well-known for its wealth.

But today's reception dinner is really to the taste of all the leaders. If we can recruit such a talented chef for our factory, it will be of great benefit.

"You guys, usually when I ask you to allocate some supplies, you are all so stingy, but today the sun is rising from the west." Looking at the prices offered by several people to attract people from him, Yang Xinmin couldn't help but laugh and tease them. Among them, the price offered by Mr. Li from the meat processing plant was the most attractive.

You know, that was an extra fat pig. Life was not easy now. If he could have an extra fat pig for the workers to celebrate at the end of the year, his reputation as the factory director would be raised several notches. Not to mention some conveniences like meat tickets. It can be said that Lao Li had gritted his teeth and bled this time.

After Li Yongxin made the offer, he saw these old friends trying to snatch the person away, and he immediately became anxious: "Go away, you guys, do you understand the principle of first come first served? And, Lao Yang, please say something, the offer I made is not bad."

Although these conditions are very good, Yang Xinmin finally shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about this. Comrade He Yuzhu is a young talent that our factory focuses on training. You old foxes should forget about this treasure of our factory. However, if you want this in the future, our steel rolling mill will welcome you at any time."

Yang Xinmin is not a fool, he knows what an excellent young chef represents. The immediate benefits are great, but in the long run, having a chef in the factory will definitely bring huge benefits.

This scene is enough to explain the problem. After these guys had a bite today, I don't believe they will be able to resist the temptation in the future. The steel mill said they were welcome, but these guys couldn't come here for free. If they wanted to enjoy the cooking skills, they had to bring the ingredients with them. In the long run, whether it was the profit or the reputation, the steel mill would make a lot of money.

"What did I say? How can the old fox Lao Yang not see through your little tricks? Forget it."

"It's Comrade He Yuzhu's craftsmanship. Your steel mill has really struck gold this time."

Several factory managers and Yang Xinmin are old acquaintances and understand this guy's temperament. After he opened his mouth just now, they were conquered by the taste of the food and tried it. If they were in his place, if their factory had such a talented chef, they would not be willing to let him go.

Li Yongxin nodded helplessly. "It's a deal, Old Yang. Next time, let Comrade He Yuzhu cook!"

"Don't worry, Old Li. As long as your meat processing plant prepares all the ingredients, everything will be fine!" After another friendly chat, several factory directors said goodbye one after another. After all, there were still a lot of things to do in their respective factories. But everyone kept in mind the appointment to taste the cooking skills of Comrade He Yuzhu next time.

……

After seeing off the factory directors, Yang Xinmin and Lou Zhenhua walked on the road to the steel plant.

"Old Lou, I saw that you had something to say just now. Now that there are no outsiders here, just say whatever you want to say." Yang Xinmin looked at Lou Zhenhua who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and couldn't help but speak.

The Red Star Steel Mill is now a public-private partnership, but it will take some time to fully realize the operation. It is still a joint-stock company. As the former boss of the steel mill, Lou Zhenhua holds a certain share and retains the title of factory director. However, Yang Xinmin, the public factory director, has actually gained the right to speak at the steel mill. Therefore, Lou Zhenhua often only receives dividends from the steel mill, and his specific power is not as good as that of Yang Xinmin, the public factory director.

However, the two of them have a good relationship in private and are old friends. There are no outsiders around at this time, so Lou Zhenhua no longer hides it.

"That's the way it is, Old Yang..."

It turned out that Lou Zhenhua's wife had been feeling unwell recently and had no appetite. She often couldn't eat and her body became increasingly haggard. Lou Zhenhua saw this and felt pain in his heart. He was trying to find a way to solve this problem recently. Today's reception dinner gave him some hope. He Yuzhu's cooking skills were impeccable even for a gourmet like him. If he could go to their house to help cook a meal, maybe his wife's appetite would be better.

"I can't eat. This is indeed a bit serious." After hearing what Lou Zhenhua said, Yang Xinmin nodded slightly.

Lou Zhenhua seemed to be afraid of any misunderstanding, and added: "Old Yang, I don't want any special privileges, it's mainly because I see my wife can't eat, I feel so distressed."

Although the iron fist has not yet been fully knocked down, big capitalists like them have already known the consequences of their lives, so they added this sentence because it is a cautious style of work that they have developed during this period.

However, Yang Xinmin and Lou Zhenhua had a good personal relationship, and since his wife was in poor health, it was natural for him to want to help her recover. Therefore, Yang Xinmin patted his shoulder in relief and said, "Old Lou, I understand, but this is not the society of the past. I'll have someone call He Yuzhu over. You can talk to him about the details. If he is willing, there will be no problem. But if he is unwilling, we can't force him."

"That's natural. Shall we go there now?"

Yang Xinmin shook his head. "Your status is different. I'll have someone go to the kitchen to notify Comrade He Yuzhu to come to my office when he gets off work."
