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

To get Sha Zhu back to the steel rolling mill, a catalyst is needed, and Director Yang urgently needs one for Sha Zhu to get back on the job.

Sha Zhu's only advantage is that he cooks delicious food, so we can only focus on this aspect.

However, to his surprise, the opportunity came soon.

...

It was almost noon in the second canteen, and the chefs in the kitchen were extremely busy.

The second canteen was already understaffed, and then Sha Zhu was suspended from his post by Director Yang and forced to stay home to reflect on his actions.

Two more female workers recently went home to have babies, leaving only four employees in the large second canteen: Ma Hua, Liu Lan, Fatty, and one other person. "Liu Lan, hurry up! You've been frying this potato shreds for almost ten minutes."

"At this rate, lunch definitely won't be served on time."

Ma Hua was sweating profusely with anxiety, wishing he could grab a spoon and cook for Liu Lan himself.

"What's the rush? It has to be cooked through, otherwise how can we eat it?"

Liu Lan didn't have a moment's rest all morning. She experienced every step of the process, from picking vegetables to chopping them and then cooking them.

Chapter 187 There's Hope for Sha Zhu

It would be strange if one person did the work of several people. It's no wonder it was fast.

The fat man and the other person were also working non-stop, but with six fewer hands, their efficiency was definitely greatly reduced.

Ma Hua anxiously raised his wrist to check his watch.

"It's almost 11:50, and the employees have already come to eat. How can I not be anxious?"

Sure enough, ten minutes later, the workers came to eat one after another, only to find that the food was not yet fully cooked.

As it happens, Director Yang came over today wanting to experience dining in a restaurant.

As a result, as soon as they reached the restaurant entrance, they heard their comrades complaining.

"Why isn't dinner ready yet? We've been starving all morning."

"Exactly, what do the chefs in the kitchen do all day?"

Liu Lan was stir-frying vegetables by the wok, her hair almost sticking to her face, but she still couldn't finish cooking the vegetables on time.

"What's all the fuss about? Our chefs haven't been idle either; they haven't even had time to fart in the four hours this morning."

Some people craned their necks to look curiously.

"Only four chefs? Looks like they'll be busy enough."

Factory Director Yang frowned.

This is not a long-term solution; we must resolve this issue immediately.

Yi Zhonghai was also in the queue for food. Seeing Director Yang's reaction, he immediately squeezed in front of him and tentatively said something.

"Director Yang, the second canteen is not supplying enough food for the workers. We must find a solution."

Factory Director Yang certainly wanted to solve the problem.

But right now there's no suitable person to come and help out for a few days to save the day.

"Director Yang, I remember He Yuzhu is still suspended from his duties at home. Of course, that kid deserves it."

"How about we let this kid redeem himself and come help out for a while?"

“If you think it’s okay, then let him come back to work at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.”

Yi Zhonghai's words were exactly what Director Yang wanted to hear.

"Old Yi, what you said is also a solution. Why don't you go and call He Yuzhu over now?"

Yi Zhonghai was more than happy to accept this offer, so he had someone else carry his rice bowl and rode his bicycle straight back to the courtyard house.

Upon arriving at the courtyard house, we headed straight for Sha Zhu's house.

"Pillar, I have good news."

"Director Yang agrees that you can go back and help out for a while."

Sha Zhu was initially excited when he heard the news, but his eyes dimmed when he heard that he was going to help.

"Aren't you going back to work? Why are you going to help?"

Yi Zhonghai explained it to him.

"This is a good opportunity. Go and do the work first. Once the kitchen really can't do without you, it will be only natural to reinstate you to your position."

Yi Zhonghai patiently explained to Sha Zhu, and finally convinced him.

Sha Zhu rode his bicycle and followed Yi Zhonghai to the factory, back to the kitchen, back to his familiar territory.

He glanced at MCA, whose expression was somewhat complicated.

Ma Hua remained silent, his busy work schedule leaving him no time for such things.

Ultimately, thanks to Sha Zhu's help, the meal was quickly prepared.

The workers were finally able to eat a delicious meal at 12:20.

"It's been a long time since I've had Chef He's cooking, and the taste is still as delicious as ever."

"That's right, the taste of this food is mixed with the flavor of Tan family cuisine."

"We're paying a small price for a high-end meal."

Factory Director Yang and Yi Zhonghai sat facing each other eating. Listening to everyone's discussion, Factory Director Yang's heart was tipping towards He Yuzhu.

"This He Yuzhu is quite capable."

Yi Zhonghai took the opportunity to speak well of He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi's skill level was already quite good, he just made some mistakes in the past."

Fortunately, he was able to admit his mistakes and correct them.

Factory Director Yang nodded.

“He has been reflecting at home for two months, and he should have learned his lesson. After a while, let He Yuzhu come back to work.”

Yi Zhonghai was happy for Sha Zhu. After finishing his meal, he went to the kitchen to find He Yuzhu and told him what Director Yang had said.

"Really? Sir, Factory Manager Yang has agreed to let me come back to work?"

Sha Zhu had never cherished his job as a chef as he had at this moment.

Especially the cooks at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill—it's a secure job with high pay and a good working environment.

“It’s true, that’s exactly what Director Yang said just now.”

Sha Zhu was overjoyed and deeply grateful to Yi Zhonghai.

"Uncle, if it weren't for you, I would still be suspended from my job and reflecting on my actions at home."

"Anyway, from now on, whatever you ask me to do, I'll do it. I'll never do the opposite of what you ask again."

Sha Zhu solemnly expressed his gratitude to Yi Zhonghai.

This is exactly the effect Yi Zhonghai wanted to achieve.

With such a thoughtful godson like Sha Zhu, it's no problem to take care of him in his old age.

"Zhu Zi, you're too kind. We're from the same compound, it's only right that I take care of you."

“After your father passed away, you and Yushui had no parents to take care of you. Just treat your aunt and me as your parents.”

Sha Zhu was incredibly excited.

"Uncle, then I might as well just recognize you as my godfather."

"When you two get old, I will take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days."

These words made Yi Zhonghai extremely happy.

He was just doing a little favor for Sha Zhu, and he got a godson out of nowhere. Why not?

However, Yi Zhonghai felt he still needed to give the stunned man a few more words of advice.

“Zhu Zi, although Director Yang has agreed to let you work at the steel rolling mill, you have to be careful not to cause any more trouble.”

“I’m giving you a hard target: within this month, you’d better cower and be a coward.”

"Don't cause trouble, and don't argue or quarrel with anyone."

Yi Zhonghai knew Sha Zhu's personality all too well; he would become arrogant and overconfident once he gained something.

Sha Zhu nodded, knowing that Yi Zhonghai was doing it for his own good.

"Don't worry, old man. Even if someone hits or scolds me, I won't fight back."

During his time at home, Sha Zhu ran around doing odd jobs, but nothing was as secure as a job at the steel rolling mill.

If you do odd jobs for someone and they don't like it, they'll just kick you out.

But it's different when you work for a state-owned enterprise.

Unless you make a serious mistake, the factory manager won't fire you.

……

The news that Sha Zhu had returned to the canteen quickly reached Li Jianjun's ears.

"Section Chief Li, you have no idea how arrogant Sha Zhu was after he returned to the canteen."

"I want to slap him whenever I see him."

"This guy also said that he has powerful connections and that he will return to Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill sooner or later."

Ma Hua visited Li Jianjun's home that evening and told him about the day's events. Coincidentally, Li Jianjun had taken the day off due to a cold.

I missed a day at work, and then I got the news that Sha Zhu was back at work.

"Section Chief Li, we didn't deal with Sha Zhu properly back then. We let him rise from the ashes again."
