Siheyuan: Master of the Fire, Eating Watermelons Online

Chapter 119: Help Li Huaide out of trouble, what a favor!
"What is the taste?"

"This scent..."

"It seems to have come from the cafeteria."

"The kitchen should be cooking for the workers."

"..."

This situation was not only discovered by the inspecting leaders, but also noticed by the factory leaders.

But they were a little puzzled.

Normally at this time of year, there wouldn't be such a loud noise from cooking in the kitchen.

Could it be that the chefs in the cafeteria have improved their skills recently?

There was one person who had a guess in his mind, but he was not sure yet.

Could it be that Wang Weiguo has already started?

But isn’t it too early to start now?
I haven’t asked anyone to notify you yet!
Calculating the time, it was almost time for lunch. Li Huaide suppressed his doubts and said to the leaders, "Dear leaders, it's getting late. Why don't you take a break? I'll ask the chef in the cafeteria to prepare some food for everyone. Let's go eat first and continue the inspection in the afternoon?"

Li Huaide had no choice but to step forward because he was afraid that if Wang Weiguo prepared the dish now, it would be too late to arrive later, which would affect the taste of the dish.

Before the superiors could speak, a deputy director of the factory said, "Yes, yes, yes, let's eat first. You may not know that in order to entertain the leaders, I heard that Director Li specially invited a chef from Fengze Garden today..."

The deputy director who stood up and spoke was none other than Yang, the later director of the steel rolling mill.

At present, the other party is just a relatively marginalized deputy factory director with no real power.

As the other party spoke, Li Huaide became annoyed and his face quickly became gloomy.

Li Huaide never expected that at this critical juncture when the superior leader was inspecting, Yang Zhenmin would take the opportunity to put pressure on him.

There are some things you can do but cannot say.

It is true that he specially invited a chef from Fengze Garden, and he invited Wang Weiguo here specifically to entertain these senior leaders. Even if the leaders found out about it themselves during the meal, probably no one would say anything.

But in the current situation, Yang Zhenmin's statement at this time is obviously intended to sabotage others.

The two of them usually don't get along, but Li Huaide did this not only for himself, but also for the steel mill. Yang Zhenmin's actions today have made Li Huaide hate him.

as predicted.

Upon hearing Yang Zhenmin's words, one leader's face immediately darkened, and he scolded him without any courtesy on the spot: "That's outrageous! What are you doing? You are clearly seeking special treatment and hedonism. Are you like this all the time?"

The person who spoke at this time was Minister Chen, the highest-ranking leader who came down to inspect.

He was the one who led the inspection this time.

Li Huaide's scalp tingled, and the other factory leaders' faces were not very good either. They glanced at Yang Zhenmin who had just spoken, intentionally or unintentionally.

Isn't this just looking for trouble?

There has to be a time for struggle!

Noticing this situation, Yang Zhenmin was a little panicked.

He obviously realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said just now.

But no matter what, it's too late to regret now.

"go!"

"Go to the cafeteria!"

"I want to see how you plan to entertain us this time!"

"Is it a delicacy from the mountains and sea, or a full banquet?"

"We even specially invited a chef from Fengze Garden to come over to show you how capable you are."

"..."

After Minister Chen, who was leading the team, spoke, not only the factory leaders, but even other leaders from above did not dare to speak casually.

Judging from the posture, the other party is obviously angry.

For a moment, Yang Zhenmin felt even more annoyed and regretful.

Seeing this, Li Huaide did not feel the slightest bit of gloating and could only bite the bullet and lead the way.

He is the biggest victim of this incident.

I can hardly protect myself, so how can I have the time to make fun of others?

Soon.

Led by Li Huaide, the group came to the kitchen of a canteen.

However, at this time, the kitchen was busy and no one noticed their arrival at first.

"Sweet and sour pork ribs are ready."

"Come on, send it to the other cafeterias."

"Don't delay, go and come back quickly."

"By the way, ask them to send someone over to take the other dishes over so as not to delay the workers' meals later... Director Li?"

"Director Zheng, Director Xu..."

"..."

Ma Youfu, who was busy giving orders, was obviously very enthusiastic at the moment. When he suddenly saw Li Huaide and a group of factory leaders coming, he was a little slow to react.

Seeing those people he didn't know and who even the factory leaders had to politely accompany him, Ma Youfu obviously guessed their identities, but didn't dare to say anything rashly.

"what happened?"

The situation he saw now was completely different from what he had imagined. The team leader couldn't help but look at other people, especially Li Huaide and Yang Zhenmin.

Didn’t they say that they had specially invited a chef from Fengze Garden to entertain them?

What about people?

"Minister Chen, that should be the chef from Fengze Garden."

After looking around and finding Wang Weiguo, a relatively unfamiliar face in the kitchen, Yang Zhenmin spoke under pressure.

No matter what, he had to find the person.

If this chef didn't exist, then his problem would be even bigger. He couldn't help offending other factory leaders, but if his superiors had a problem with him, then Yang Zhenmin would be finished.

"That's right! Minister Chen, that's the chef from Fengze Garden that I invited."

He was very panicked at first, but as soon as he entered the kitchen, Li Huaide saw Wang Weiguo cooking a big pot of food, and the aroma of the food just now was obviously coming from these.

Although he didn't know why Wang Weiguo was busy with all this, he felt instantly relieved.

After saying that, Li Huaide hurried over and brought Wang Weiguo over.

"So young? Little Li, you're not going to fool me, are you?"

When Wang Weiguo came up to him, Minister Chen was obviously surprised to find that he was so young.

"Leader, I am indeed from Fengze Garden."

Wang Weiguo directly took out his work ID.

After taking the work permit and looking at it, the other party was even more surprised. He couldn't help but look at Wang Weiguo a few more times and asked curiously: "Since you are not a factory chef at the steel rolling mill, why did you come here today instead of staying in Fengze Garden?"

This seemingly ordinary question made Li Huaide nervous, fearing that Wang Weiguo would accidentally let the cat out of the bag and bring him into trouble.

The leader was here just now, so he had no chance, and he didn't dare to do anything in front of him. He also had no chance to communicate with Wang Weiguo in advance.

Wang Weiguo naturally saw Li Huaide's anxiety and nervousness. Combining the situation in front of him, he guessed that there might be something going on. He smiled and said, "Today, a chef in the kitchen got sick and asked for leave. Director Li was afraid that the kitchen would be too busy, so he asked me to come and help.

Moreover, there is a big assessment in the factory today. In order to ensure that all the workers who are taking the assessment can perform well, and also because Director Li feels that the workers in the factory are usually serious and hardworking, Director Li wants to take this opportunity to let the workers eat better..."

Facing the questions from the inspecting leaders, Wang Weiguo was not at all nervous. He did not mention at all that Li Huaide had asked him to give special treatment or that the leaders above had inspected him. Instead, he talked about the big assessment of the workers in the factory today.

Minister Chen inquired and found that there was indeed a cook who was sick and asked for leave today. He also looked at the big pot of dishes cooked by Wang Weiguo, and immediately glanced at Yang Zhenmin and asked in a calm tone: "Xiao Yang, why is this situation different from what you said?"

"Minister Chen, blame me! I didn't understand the situation clearly and made a mistake accidentally."

Yang Zhenmin, who found himself in a difficult position and had originally wanted to trip up Li Huaide, had no choice but to stand up and take the beating.

"Comrade, you really should reflect on yourself. You can't just rely on hearsay when making decisions about anything."

After criticizing Yang Zhenmin, Minister Chen, who led the team, shook his head and warned everyone, "The leader said that without investigation, there is no right to speak. Everything must be based on facts. You leaders must remember this."

Yang Zhenmin broke out in a cold sweat, and a group of factory leaders nodded in agreement.

"Xiao Li! You've done a great job of always thinking about the workers."

After criticizing Yang Zhenmin, Minister Chen praised and affirmed Li Huaide.

He almost blamed Li Huaide wrongly just now, but as a senior leader above, and he didn't target Li Huaide directly, he couldn't apologize directly. He could only express it in this way, in a tactful way.

Even so, Li Huaide felt flattered and quickly said, "Minister Chen, these are what I should do."

Feeling the envious gazes of other factory leaders, especially seeing Yang Zhenmin looking like he had lost his soul, Li Huaide felt extremely happy.

"I think there's no need to prepare a separate lunch for us. We can go outside and have a meal with the factory workers. We can also take advantage of this and have a meal in the factory cafeteria today."

Minister Chen, who was in a better mood, made a suggestion and joked to the factory leaders: "I just don't know if there will be enough food in the cafeteria today with the addition of us. Don't let the workers go hungry because of us."

"Enough, enough, enough! Minister Chen, please eat as much as you want!"

The leading factory leader immediately expressed his position.

"You make it sound like I'm a glutton."

"I dare not, Minister Chen..."

"Haha, just kidding, why are you taking it so seriously?"

"Ha ha……"

"..."

At this point, the atmosphere finally eased, and the factory leaders, who had been on edge, felt relieved.

This level has been passed.

"Comrade Wang Weiguo, thank you for your hard work today. Thank you for coming here in your busy schedule to cook this meal for the workers of the steel mill."

After returning the work permit to Wang Weiguo, Minister Chen thanked Wang Weiguo.

"You're too polite, leader."

Wang Weiguo responded politely, with no intention of showing off.

This action made the other party feel even more satisfied.

Soon.

The leaders left.

However, Li Huaide, after accompanying them out, quickly returned.

"Brother Wang, you have helped me a lot. Thank you so much today."

Taking Wang Weiguo to a corner, Li Huaide clasped his hands together and said with great gratitude.

Just now, Wang Weiguo not only helped him out of trouble, but also saved his life, which is not an exaggeration.

Political life is also life!

Minister Chen, who led the team here today, is not even as good as his own father-in-law. If he leaves a bad impression on the other party, his future career will be affected to some extent.

Especially since he had just learned from Ma Youfu about Luo Dachuan's resignation in the morning and the specific details, he was even more grateful to Wang Weiguo.

Because of Wang Weiguo, this time it can be said that he has turned a disaster into a blessing.

"Director Li, I am just doing my job. You specially invited me here, so I can't let you down."

"Why call me Director Li? If you don't mind, Brother Wang, just call me Brother in private from now on! Today I recognize you as my brother."

"Then I will respectfully obey your command, Brother Li!"

"Brothers!"

"..."

Both of them are smart people, so there was no need to say much, and they quickly understood what the other meant.

Wang Weiguo never expected that he just wanted to build a good relationship with Li Huaide and make the other party owe him a small favor, but he ended up becoming brothers.

Now, let alone preparing for a rainy day, we can just do it in one step!
