Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

"That's right, I've heard for a long time that the cooks at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill's canteen are top-notch. I'll definitely have to try them later!"

"That's right, that's right, I've heard it so many times I'm sick of it, I'm definitely going to try it this time!"

……

Zhao Tehan's expression improved after hearing their words.

So he smiled and nodded: "Of course, we must have a good get-together today!"

Unfortunately, Zhao Tehan's smile didn't last long.

Because the dishes that were served afterwards had no appeal in terms of color, aroma, or taste.

It's either burnt, or there's too much salt, or it has no flavor at all.

Moreover, the large table of dishes Zhao Tehan ordered actually contained very few items according to his menu; they were all cheap ingredients like vegetables.

Zhao Tehan was completely humiliated: "Bring me your canteen manager and the head chef!"

Soon, He Yuzhu arrived at the private room.

Upon seeing He Yuzhu appear in the private room, Secretary Qian's expression instantly turned sour.

Because he recognized him—this was the guy he had previously considered a typical example!

It's no wonder Zhao Tehan had such a bad day at the canteen; it's probably because this guy is getting revenge!

Seeing He Yuzhu enter, Zhao Tehan said with a grim expression, "Didn't you say you were going to call your cafeteria manager and the head chef? Why are you the only one here?"

"I am the head of this cafeteria and also the cook in charge of the dishes!" He Yuzhu still remembered being used as a typical example a few days ago, so naturally he was not going to give Zhao Tehan a good look.

Seeing He Yuzhu's expression, Zhao Tehan became even angrier.

So he slammed his hand on the table, pointed at the dishes on it, and said to He Yuzhu, "Look at this! What kind of garbage is this?!"

"Where are my braised lion's head meatballs and chicken soup? Why aren't any of them here?"

"Inspector Zhao, it's not that we don't want to serve you, it's just that the ingredients for our canteen are delivered fresh every day by the purchasing department!" He Yuzhu said with a smug smile. "But for some reason, they didn't deliver any ingredients today. Our canteen only has this much food left, and I'm just a cook without rice to cook!"

Hearing that it was related to the purchasing department again, Zhao Tehan was furious!

However, Zhao Tehan was not going to let He Yuzhu off the hook: "Let's not talk about the ingredients for now. What's the meaning of making these dishes taste so bad? Did you forget to bring your tongue to work today?"

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu retorted sarcastically, "Sorry, Inspector Zhao, this is all I'm capable of. You can ask the staff in our cafeteria if you don't believe me!"

Seeing that He Yuzhu was clearly pretending to be stupid, Zhao Tehan's temper flared up: "If you don't want to work here anymore, get the hell out of here!"

"Excuse me, Inspector Zhao, you have no right to tell me to get lost!" He Yuzhu was not intimidated by Zhao Tehan at all. "Besides, I've never seen what it looks like to roll over before. Why don't you demonstrate for me?"

Zhao Tehan was so angry that he couldn't speak!

When Zhao Tehan's friends saw that the situation was about to get out of control, they quickly tried to persuade Zhao Tehan.

"Old Zhao, there's no need to get angry over an incompetent cook!"

"Yes, yes, the food here isn't good. Let's just eat somewhere else!"

"That's right, that's right!"

……

Anyone with eyes can see that this is Zhao Tehan, a new official who has just arrived at the steel rolling mill, has turned his three fires on the wrong person. Right now, all the staff in the small canteen are ganging up on him to embarrass him!

Everyone here is eager to get to know Zhao Tehan because he was transferred to such a good place as the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

They certainly didn't want Zhao Tehan to have a bad falling out with Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill!

Because if things really turn ugly, they won't profit from it.

As his friends offered words of advice, Zhao Tehan gradually calmed down.

He knew in his heart that the people in the small canteen were just taking advantage of him because he was new and hadn't settled down in the steel mill.

Indeed, he is not deeply rooted in the steel rolling mill these days.

But once he wins the orders for the new machine tools, he will be firmly entrenched in the steel rolling mill!

We can deal with these small fry later.

The most important thing today is not to lose face in front of my friends!

Chapter 483, Xiao Shan is going to be a father again! (Please subscribe!)

So Zhao Tehan, seizing the opportunity, said to everyone, "Gentlemen, I'm truly sorry about today; I didn't make proper arrangements for you! How about this, I'll treat you all to a meal at Luquanju!"

Hearing Zhao Tehan say this, his friends naturally had no objections.

They even had to help Zhao Tehan save face in front of He Yuzhu.

"Old Zhao, how can you say that! We're sorry for bothering you by coming here in such a hurry!"

"That's right, that's right. We heard that Old Zhao is now working at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, so we came here because we heard about him. We never expected to cause you any trouble!"

"Looking back, we were too hasty!"

……

And so, the group exchanged pleasantries and then stood up.

Zhao Tehan instructed Secretary Qian, "Quickly go to the transportation department to arrange a vehicle to take us to Luquan Residence."

After Zhao Tehan and the others left the private room, He Yuzhu grimaced as he looked at the table full of dishes that were neither visually appealing nor tasteful, and said with heartache, "Today I've really ruined my own reputation! It's just a pity about all these ingredients..."

However, thinking that Zhao Tehan had been tricked by him, He Yuzhu felt much better!

When Zhao Tehan and his group arrived at Luquanju in a transportation vehicle, they were told by the staff that there were no seats available.

Zhao Tehan hadn't expected to be so unlucky, and his face immediately darkened: "There are no seats in the main hall, shouldn't there be private rooms?"

"I'm sorry, our private rooms are all full." Because Zhao Tehan and his group were all wearing Zhongshan suits, the waiter was quite patient in explaining to them.

Zhao Tehan's face had turned pale!

Clearly, he had lost face in front of his friends time and time again today, and he was on the verge of a breakdown.

"Inspector Zhao, since there are no seats here, let's go to Quanjude for Peking duck, it's not bad there..." Secretary Qian suggested with some difficulty, looking at Zhao Tehan's unpleasant expression.

He had been following Zhao Tehan for several years, and this was the first time he had ever seen his leader humiliated several times in one day!

Could it be that the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is at odds with its own leaders?

But Secretary Qian naturally dared not voice his inner thoughts!

After all, at this time, feudal superstition is unacceptable!

Seeing this, the others quickly stepped forward to persuade Zhao Tehan.

After much persuasion, they finally managed to get Zhao Tehan to leave from the entrance of Luquan Residence.

As they left, everyone was on tenterhooks.

If they had known, they wouldn't have been in such a hurry to come and build rapport with Zhao Tehan!

Zhao Tehan lost face in front of so many people, and he might blame them later.

They came over without warning, catching him off guard and causing him to lose face several times.

After finally finishing his meal and seeing his friends off, Zhao Tehan, with a gloomy expression, took Secretary Qian and drove back to the steel rolling mill.

Back in his office, Zhao Tehan looked at Secretary Qian and asked, "Secretary Qian, how's your communication with the machine tool company over there going?"

Upon hearing Zhao Tehan's inquiry, Secretary Qian quickly replied, "Boss, don't worry, my communication with the machine tool company in John Bull has made initial progress! Once we have the machine tool orders in hand, we can gradually release them, which will be a great achievement!"

Upon hearing Secretary Qian's words, Zhao Tehan's tense face relaxed somewhat, and he said with considerable satisfaction, "Secretary Qian, you must take good care of this matter, as it concerns my future! If you do a good job, I will certainly not treat you unfairly in the future!"

Secretary Qian quickly agreed with a smile, but felt a little bitter inside.

He was quite confident in his English, which he had been intensively studying for three months.

But when he actually called John, he realized that those foreigners spoke incredibly fast, completely unlike the speaking speed of his previous teachers.

So his phone conversation with Allen didn't actually make any progress.

But of course he couldn't tell Zhao Tehan about this.

He has already contacted his teacher, who will be coming in a couple of days.

When the time comes, please have the teacher communicate with Allen and make sure to snatch the machine tool order from Xiaoshan in the shortest possible time!

Soon it was time to leave work, and Xiao Shan went to pick up his wife, Ding Qiunan, to leave work together.

When Xiao Shan saw Ding Qiunan, he was taken aback for a moment, and then reached out and put his hand on Ding Qiunan's wrist.

"Honey, what's wrong?" Ding Qiunan asked, somewhat puzzled, as she watched Xiao Shan's actions.

Xiao Shan removed his hand from Ding Qiunan's wrist and said with a smile, "Good news!"

"Good news? What good news?" Ding Qiunan was taken aback.

Xiao Shan exclaimed happily, "You're pregnant! I'm going to be a dad again!"

"What?" Ding Qiunan looked at Xiao Shan in disbelief. "Really?"

Xiao Shan said with absolute certainty, "Of course it's true!"

Seeing Xiao Shan's confident expression, Ding Qiunan couldn't help but feel happy.

After all, in this day and age, everyone still believes that having many children brings many blessings!

Upon returning home, Ding Qiunan immediately informed Feng Chunlian and Xiao Jingyan of her pregnancy.

Upon hearing this news, Feng Chunlian and Xiao Jingyan were naturally very happy.

Xiao Jingyan, who is already three years old, is overjoyed that he can be a big brother.

A few days later, Xiao Shan received a call from Allen.

Allen told Xiao Shan on the phone that Secretary Qian had brought in an outside helper from somewhere these past few days. Although the accent was hard to describe, at least the helper was able to communicate with Allen.

Although they were able to communicate, Allen decisively rejected Secretary Qian's request to cooperate with him, stating that he only recognized Xiao Shan.

If Secretary Qian truly wants to cooperate with him, he must go to John Bull and meet with him in person.

Of course, Secretary Qian couldn't possibly go to John Bull's place to meet with him.

After all, going abroad in this day and age is a very dangerous thing.

So Secretary Qian could only call Allen every day at the exact time, hoping that her persistent efforts would win Allen's favor.

Little did he know that his persistence was seen by Allen as shamelessness!

After ending the call with Allen, Xiao Shan guessed that the factory workers would probably start rioting in the next few days.

Zhao Tehan had been at the steel rolling mill for almost two weeks, and the mill hadn't given the workers pork for a week.

You should know that Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill now distributes pork almost once a week.

If the commune has a large number of pigs ready for slaughter, pork can be distributed even twice a week.

Chapter 484, Let You Taste the Wrath of Grandpa Worker! (Please Subscribe!)

But now, the purchasing staff in the purchasing department are afraid to go out to purchase pork because they have to sign in and be evaluated every day. So where will they get the pork to distribute to the workers?

How can workers who haven't tasted meat for a week be happy?

After all, this is a steel rolling mill, and the workers in the workshop do all kinds of physical labor. If they don't have some oil in their stomachs, they won't have the energy to work.

The reason why Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill has the highest output in Beijing is largely due to the benefits brought by new machine tools.

The remaining small part of the reason is that after Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill became rich, it was willing to give benefits to its workers, and the workers had money to eat!

Moreover, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!

The workers were used to the steel mill's generous benefits, and now that they've suddenly stopped receiving them, it would be strange if they didn't protest!

After arriving at the steel rolling mill, Zhao Tehan not only established a new assessment system, but also began organizing the mill's workers to take turns stopping work to attend his study sessions.

They called it improving the quality and awareness of the workers.

At first, some workers were willing to support the business.

Although Zhao Tehan's three major initiatives upon taking office made everyone feel uncomfortable.

But everyone's smart enough to know that jobs at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill are highly sought after these days, and people all over Beijing are scrambling to get a job there.
