Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

The entire steel rolling mill has about three thousand workers.

It's impossible for all these workers to eat in the same canteen.

There are four cafeterias!

However, there is only one kitchen.

In the kitchen, He Yuzhu was in charge of cooking, and he had his apprentice Ma Hua, as well as assistants Liu Lan, Lao Yang, and a group of others. There were more than twenty people in the kitchen.

Once the appointed time arrives, these twenty-odd people will be divided into five canteens.

Serving food and selling meals!

Otherwise, how long would it take to get a table in the cafeteria?

but!

Although there are four or five canteens, they are all connected together.

In other words, it was divided into four or five large windows.

People can choose to queue in different places.

Liu Aiguo chose He Yuzhu's side.

The cooks serve food very quickly; a meal for one person takes no more than ten seconds!

Soon it was Liu Aiguo's turn.

"What to eat?"

He Yuzhu kept his head down with a dark expression, not even glancing at the person who came.

Liu Aiguo looked at the dishes. The dishes were very simple: boiled winter melon and Chinese cabbage.

Just these two!

You can choose between plain white steamed buns or steamed buns made with a mixture of wheat and flour.

It depends on your own abilities.

"Two steamed buns...and a serving of winter melon!"

Liu Aiguo said it casually.

Then… He Yuzhu suddenly raised his head: “Hey…”

He laughed!

"Liu Aiguo...a rare guest..." He Yuzhu's smile was different from others. While others smiled with their eyes narrowed, He Yuzhu smiled with his eyes wide open, baring his teeth as he laughed: "So you've finally met your match..."

Liu Aiguo's face immediately darkened: What the hell... What's wrong with me today?

"Don't misunderstand..."

"Hahaha……"

He Yuzhu didn't rush to get food for Liu Aiguo. Instead, he chuckled and teased him, "I'm not saying you're about to be laid off. What I mean is... you'll be eating in the cafeteria one day too?"

"You're amazing, old lady... purchasing agent, this smells so good... you eat and drink like a king every day... when have you ever come to our shabby cafeteria..."

"Come, come, come... Liu Aiguo, let me interview you... What did you eat when you were sent to the countryside?"

Liu Aiguo's forehead was so black it looked like water was about to seep out.

You fucking...

are you crazy?

He Yuzhu isn't sick; he did it on purpose!

"Can't say it, can you..." He Yuzhu muttered to himself, "Ah...that's right...you purchasing agents are eating so deliciously...their mouths are dripping with oil, they must have been embezzling quite a bit, right?"

"How does it feel now that you're down here... not a pleasant experience, right?"

"Will I not be able to eat scrambled eggs with scallions every day when I get home from now on?"

"I'm afraid we won't be able to eat braised pork anymore, will we?"

"How about we stew another chicken..."

"Buzz buzz buzz... The good days for purchasing agents... are over..."

"Come, come... You like winter melon? I'll get you some extra..."

He Yuzhu scooped up a large spoonful of winter melon, but when Liu Aiguo's lunchbox was brought over, his hand trembled.

Whoops!

The technique was so skillful that it was almost superb.

With that shake, the winter melon all fell off.

All that was left was a spoonful of vegetable broth and a pitiful few pieces of winter melon.

"Hey... oh... you want some?... I won't give it to you, hahaha..." He Yuzhu laughed loudly.

Liu Aiguo nonchalantly took the half-box of vegetable broth, shook his head, and said, "It seems the atmosphere in this kitchen needs to be rectified... If everyone thinks like you, how are the factory workers supposed to work?"

Who can get enough to eat?

Liu Aiguo spoke the minds of many workers, and everyone echoed his sentiments.

He Yuzhu, however, said confidently, "What's wrong? You want to change the cafeteria rules... Fine, let's talk about it when you become a manager in our cafeteria..."

Liu Aiguo said, "Just wait...that time will come!"

"Tch!" He Yuzhu arrogantly shook his spoon and said, "You're about to be fired, and you're still ordering me around... You'll never be able to control me in this lifetime, or I'll go eat shit..."

Liu Aiguo waved and left.

You'll lose if you pay attention to this idiot.

You have to get back at him!

……

Liu Aiguo took his lunchbox, found a place to sit down, and started eating two steamed buns.

Although it was a simple meal, Liu Aiguo still ate with great relish.

After all, at that time, many workers could only eat steamed buns made from a mixture of two types of flour!

As for He Yuzhu's stir-fried winter melon, Liu Aiguo had no praise for it; it was utterly awful...

Damn it... It's seriously mismatched with He Yuzhu's level.

Even a fool could tell that this was definitely not done by He Yuzhu himself. It was either his foolish apprentice Ma Hua or Deputy Factory Director Li's mistress Liu Lan.

The workers eating nearby also complained.

It seems that the cafeteria's renovation is imperative.

"Hey..." Just as he was eating, Liu Aiguo suddenly heard a sour voice, "Brother-in-law... are you having such a hard time these days... that you're actually eating in the cafeteria?"

"Ha ha……"

Liu Aiguo looked at Yu Haitang with a smile: "I just came here in advance to get a feel for the work... I'll be dealing with the cafeteria quite a bit in the future!"

"And..." Yu Haitang smiled coldly, "You'd better pray for yourself. You'll be lucky if you can sweep the yard of the steel rolling mill in the future!"

Liu Aiguo ignored him.

She understood Yu Haitang's psychology perfectly. People like her, spoiled since childhood, would inevitably face the harsh realities of society when they grew up. Someone like Yu Haitang, whose pampering was ingrained in her bones, would probably never change in this lifetime.

This would also preordain her life's tragedy, and she could forget about ever finding happiness.

After finishing my meal, I went back to the logistics department and lay down on the sofa in Lao Huang's office to rest for a while.

When it was time to go to work, Liu Aiguo saw that he didn't have anything to do yet, so he prepared to leave.

Director Huang said, "Don't rush off. Your appointment will be finalized this afternoon... and HR will need to take you to the cafeteria later..."

Liu Aiguo asked, "The leader has approved it!"

"It's approved!" Director Huang said. "I was the first to approve it... Xiao Liu, Old Zhao, the cafeteria director, isn't doing anything right. He'll be retiring in a few months, so you need to do a good job and teach those kids a lesson... They're getting more and more out of control..."

"okay!"

It seems the leaders are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the cafeteria.

Publicity Department!

Yu Haitang was pondering, resting her chin on her hand, what kind of boyfriend could compare to Liu Aiguo?

Who else is in the factory?

At that moment, the people from the office arrived.

"Yu Haitang...this is the new appointment document, please read it aloud quickly..."

"Good leadership!"

Yu Haitang took the document and was immediately dumbfounded.

Liu Aiguo?

Deputy Director of the Canteen?
