Siheyuan: After becoming a traitor, first let the Huai Ru River overflow its banks.

Li Jianjun was so excited he could hardly contain himself.

It's like having a pillow delivered to your head when you're feeling sleepy. With this Tan Family Cuisine recipe, cooking Tan Family Cuisine is a piece of cake.

After winning this in the lottery, I still have 100 strategy points left, enough for one more lottery draw.

Without hesitation, Li Jianjun conducted another lottery draw.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Proficiency Enhancement skill."

This was the first time Li Jianjun had encountered this term.

"Host, as the name suggests, the Proficiency Enhancement System is designed to increase your proficiency by a hundred or a thousand times."

Li Jianjun understood. In other words, his one operation was equivalent to others operating it a hundred or a thousand times, achieving that level of proficiency.

"That's amazing."

Having obtained the proficiency enhancement system and the recipe for Tan Family Cuisine, Li Jianjun was completely satisfied and immediately bid farewell to his mother and daughter.

On the way back, Li Jianjun retrieved the recipe for Tan Family Cuisine.

After returning home, Li Jianjun immediately used the proficiency system. After watching it just once, it was as if he had made the dish a hundred times, and he was able to make Tan Family Cuisine right away.

Li Jianjun felt a surge of excitement, eagerly awaiting Director Yang's visit to Sha Zhu's house the next day to thwart Sha Zhu's scheme.

.........

On October 3rd, as expected, the three experts and the top leader brought it up again, asking the kitchen to prepare Tan Family Cuisine.

Yesterday, Director Yang had already brushed it off, but today the higher-ups brought it up again, so it was naturally difficult to refuse him.

"Old Yang, is it really that difficult for you to cook a Tan family dish? I was thinking of letting the three experts taste what our ancestors left us."

Factory Director Yang had no way to express his grievances.

Sha Zhu was the one who kicked him out, but if Tan family cuisine is to be made, Sha Zhu has to be the one to cook it.

Sha Zhu is a very stubborn person, and he won't let himself be manipulated.

Faced with the questioning from the top leader, Director Yang had no choice but to ask Sha Zhu for help.

"Don't worry, boss, we'll definitely be able to have Tan family cuisine for lunch today."

Even after making assurances to the top leader, Director Yang was still feeling uneasy.

To be honest, he had no idea whether he could persuade He Yuzhu to come.

That morning, Director Yang asked Li Jianjun to accompany the three experts on their continued inspection, while he went to the courtyard to invite Sha Zhu.

……

To save time, Director Yang arrived at the courtyard house in a special car.

After making inquiries, they finally found out Sha Zhu's address and headed straight for his house.

At this moment, Sha Zhu was lying on his back on his bed, with his two feet crossed, humming a little tune.

"Su San has left..."

Yu Shui had to go home unexpectedly and was puzzled to see Sha Zhu humming a tune and crossing his legs.

"Brother, you've already been fired from Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, why are you still so smug? You're even humming a little tune?"

"What will you eat and wear in the future? How will you get married? Don't you think about that?"

This idiot is still an idiot; he doesn't plan for the future at all.

"Rain, what are you saying about your brother? Who said I was fired from Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill?"

"Just you wait and see, in a couple of days, Director Yang will be begging me to cook for them at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill..."

Rainwater pursed its lips.

"Brother, are you dreaming in broad daylight?"

As the brother and sister were talking, they heard footsteps outside, followed by a voice.

Is Comrade He Yuzhu home?

Upon hearing this voice, Sha Zhu's heart nearly leaped out of his chest with joy, and he lowered his voice to speak to Yu Shui.

"I told you, Director Yang would come to my house to invite me. See, speak of the devil and he appears."

The moment the rain turned around, they saw a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit arrive at their house.

"Is that Factory Director Yang?"

Rainwater had never been to the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, so naturally he didn't know what Director Yang looked like.

"Yes, this is our former leader, Director Yang, from the steel rolling mill."

The rainwater was incredibly impressed with Sha Zhu.

Her silly brother actually had a stroke of genius today, he even made a prophecy.

"Director Yang, please have a seat. I'll go pour some tea for the leaders."

Rainwater quickly went to prepare tea leaves.

Sha Zhu then slowly stood up and politely greeted Director Yang.

"Director Yang, what brings you here?"

That's what he said, but the cunning in his eyes was impossible to hide, as if he was certain that Director Yang would come.

Factory Director Yang didn't care about being embarrassed.

"Rain, don't pour the tea. I'll leave after I say a few words."

"Comrade He Yuzhu, when the higher-ups came to inspect our factory, they specifically asked us to make Tan Family Cuisine."

“In our entire Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, you’re the only one who can cook, so come with me to our factory and cook for them.”

Sha Zhu naturally remembered how he had manipulated Director Yang. He couldn't let this out; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to calm down and wouldn't be able to cook Tan Family Cuisine for his old leader.

"Director Yang, you've already fired me from Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to go back and cook for the big boss."

Factory Director Yang was an extremely shrewd person; he immediately knew that Sha Zhu wanted to negotiate with him.

“I’ve always treated you well, Zhuzi. This is an extremely urgent matter. Just name your terms, and as long as they’re not too unreasonable, I can make it happen.”

Hearing Director Yang's assurance, Sha Zhu felt even more smug.

"Director Yang, I'm not trying to take advantage of the situation. I just feel that it would be a real loss for us if a descendant of the Tan family cuisine, like myself, didn't serve our Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill."

Factory Director Yang nodded, signaling him to continue.

"Director Yang, as you can see, I'm the only one in our entire Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill who knows how to cook Tan Family Cuisine."

"Looking at the entire kitchen, my skills are among the best. I think only I am qualified to be the head of the cafeteria..."

Chapter 135 Sha Zhu Manipulates Factory Director Yang

Sha Zhu has quite the appetite; he's set his sights on the head of the cafeteria.

At this moment, countless heads also peeked out from outside Sha Zhu's house.

"Director Yang personally went to Sha Zhu's house to invite him, and Sha Zhu was right. This Sha Zhu is not stupid."

"Maybe it was just a lucky coincidence."

Most people think that Director Yang's visit to Sha Zhu's house was probably for other reasons.

Perhaps driven by excessive curiosity, many people crowded in front of Sha Zhu's house.

Listening to the conversation between Director Yang and Sha Zhu, everyone felt that Sha Zhu had been wronged.

"That Sha Zhu is a fool, but he's lucky. He even caught the attention of Director Yang."

At this moment, Director Yang was shocked by Sha Zhu's request.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, although your cooking skills are unmatched in the factory, it might be a bit difficult for you to be the head of the canteen..."

Although seniority is important in the culinary industry, Sha Zhu's seniority is quite high in the entire Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

However, if Sha Zhu is promoted to head of the cafeteria department, many people will probably be dissatisfied.

The onlookers couldn't stand it anymore.

"Shazhu is really asking for the moon. Director Yang finally came to invite you, but you're putting on airs."

"Exactly! Calling him 'cafeteria director' all the time, does someone like Sha Zhu deserve that title?"

Seeing that others were watching and that he was confident of victory, Sha Zhu felt particularly emboldened and glared at them.

"Get out of here, get out of here! You're all just jealous and can't stand to see others doing well."

"Idiot Zhu said in a fit of exasperation."

"Once I become the head of the cafeteria, none of you will have an easy time."

The onlookers all grimaced in the direction of Sha Zhu.

Factory Director Yang also felt that Sha Zhu's words were a bit excessive.

“Comrade He Yuzhu, we grassroots civil servants usually have to discuss and decide on things together before they can be approved. You see, I can’t make the decision by myself.”

But Sha Zhu remained relentless, not only refusing to lower his demands but also raising even more new ones.

"Director Yang, do you think I'm a three-year-old? As the director of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, isn't it just a matter of saying a word to decide who should be the canteen manager?"

"Besides, I haven't finished stating my demands yet."

Sha Zhu, this is going to never end.

"Director Yang, if you want me to go back and cook Tan Family Cuisine for the big leaders, that's easy, but you have to agree to two conditions. The first condition is that I become the head of the canteen department, and the second condition is that Li Jianjun, the deputy section chief, must be removed."

Sha Zhu's words added fuel to the fire, igniting everyone's anger.

"Shazhu, you're only doing things that harm others without benefiting yourself. Did Li Jianjun offend you? How dare you so blatantly insult Li Jianjun like this."

"That's for sure! Li Jianjun didn't do anything to him. Sha Zhu is too vicious."

Director Yang was in a dilemma, as the higher-ups were all waiting at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

If we don't invite He Yuzhu over today, we won't be able to explain ourselves to our old boss.
