Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

He Yuzhu was completely petrified.

Sand sculpture?

I...I freaking...

puff……

He Yuzhu was about to vomit blood.

So special!

My wife is gone!

The money is gone!

He was detained in the detention center for seven days.

woo woo woo...

He Yuzhu returned to the kitchen in tears.

But that's not all.

The moment He Yuzhu returned to the kitchen, Yu Haitang's gentle voice drifted out from the loudspeaker.

"Dear leaders and staff: Good afternoon... The following is a notice!"

The factory's broadcasts are generally divided into two types.

One type is "broadcast," which is easily recognizable as a message or news broadcast via light waves.

Another type is called "notice".

A public notice is not a good thing; it's either a commendation or a punishment.

Moreover, in most cases, 90% of the time it results in punishment.

So as soon as the word "announcement" was uttered, all the employees in the steel rolling mill perked up their ears.

"He Yuzhu has seriously violated public security regulations and factory labor discipline... After unanimous deliberation by the steel rolling mill leadership, it has been decided that He Yuzhu will be punished with [being sent to the workshop for one month of labor reform]..."

"Dear leaders and staff: Good afternoon..."

Each broadcast was played three times.

Upon hearing this broadcast, He Yuzhu vomited blood again.

What the hell!

Go to the workshop for labor reform?

I, a dignified head chef at a steel rolling mill, am actually being sent to labor reform.

How embarrassing!

Chapter 055 He Yuzhu, you're in big trouble.

Of course, it's not just about being shameful.

What kind of place is a workshop?

The place where the workers are working.

This is a paradise for skilled workers.

If you go there as a chef, but you're neither a fitter nor a welder, and you can't do any technical work, what can you do?

There's only one answer: manual labor.

That's right!

The so-called labor reform meant going to the workshop to do manual labor.

One of the most common jobs is as a porter, helping skilled workers move steel components.

Steel components, on the other hand, can weigh anywhere from a few dozen kilograms to tens or even hundreds of kilograms.

For someone like He Yuzhu who spends all day and night constantly moving things around, it's practically the same as being dead.

Moreover!

He Yuzhu is self-aware!

He offended many people while working as a chef, and when he returned to the workshop, someone was sure to make trouble for him.

Can……

You have to go, whether you want to or not!

Unless I quit.

"Waaah..." He Yuzhu was really about to cry.

A whole month!

It's been a whole month, how am I supposed to get through this?

"Master..." Ma Hua said, "Take care!"

Liu Lan added, "Go quickly... and do your best!"

Old Zhao, the canteen manager, chuckled as he sipped his tea, his eyes revealing undisguised relief and schadenfreude.

……

"Silly Zhu...Silly Zhu...Hurry up...What are you dawdling for?"

Uncle Er's voice was very loud, and he kept urging Sha Zhu to move the steel components for him.

The components that the fitters were working on this time were relatively light, weighing only a dozen kilograms.

But with the constant moving and urging, He Yuzhu was already panting heavily from exhaustion.

The old man Yi Zhonghai next to him snorted coldly and said, "Liu Haizhong... we're all from the same compound, that's enough, you're still the second uncle, what grudge does he have against you!"

It's not that Yi Zhonghai is kind-hearted.

It can only be said that Yi Zhonghai knows how to win people's hearts.

After he said that, Liu Haizhong indeed became more restrained, and no one else in the workshop dared to yell at He Yuzhu like that anymore.

After all, Yi Zhonghai was not only the oldest man in the courtyard, but also a veteran worker in the workshop.

A figure respected by many.

As a result, He Yuzhu immediately felt grateful to Yi Zhonghai.

"Uncle Yi... I've brought your component!" He Yuzhu walked over carrying a large steel component.

Yi Zhonghai took it and said, "No need... I'll pull the threads myself and carry them myself later, so don't carry them for me!"

"Oh, thank you, Uncle Yi!" He Yuzhu was even more grateful.

Of course, there were also quite a few people in the workshop who deliberately went against He Yuzhu.

There was nothing they could do; He Yuzhu usually tossed the wok too hard when serving food.

"Hey... Sha Zhu, help me move one..."

Qin Huairu asked He Yuzhu to move a steel component, then pulled him aside and asked, "Hey... Shazhu, where's your wife... has she come to see you at the station these past few days?"

"You're back. Did I try to comfort you?"

He Yuzhu's face instantly turned ashen.

"Sister...can we not talk about this?"

Qin Huairu said, "Alright... I was just joking with you... It's okay, don't worry. I'll help you out in the workshop from now on. If anyone bullies you, just tell me and I'll beat them up!"

Qin Huairu was deliberately comforting He Yuzhu at the time.

He Yuzhu felt a warmth in his heart: "Ah... I only realize now that in this courtyard, Sister Qin and Uncle Yi are the two who treat me the best!"

"Nonsense!" Qin Huairu's eyes flickered slightly. "Now you know who kissed whom, right?"

"Okay, okay... From now on, I'll be closest to you, Sister Qin... Don't worry, once I get back to the kitchen, I'll still bring you food every day!"

Qin Huairu was overjoyed.

This is what she wants.

What does a word of comfort mean?

What I want are tangible benefits.

These idiots, taking advantage of He Yuzhu's time in the workshop to make trouble for him, don't they even think about how He Yuzhu will get his revenge on them when he returns to the head chef's office a month later?

"Hey……"

As Qin Huairu threaded the steel components, she whispered, "Are you just going to let this go like this?"

He Yuzhu asked, "Sister Qin, what do you mean?"

"What I mean is... don't you even think about why you ended up in there, and why you ended up spending a month in a labor camp?"

He Yuzhu frowned, thought for a long time, and said, "It's all because of those few lousy swindlers... Damn it, don't let me run into them again, or I'll kill them all... None of them will escape!"
