The next day, go to work!

"Xiao Li, the furniture you make is so useful!"

"It's big and solid. You know I moved my own furniture yesterday and it broke as soon as I touched it. All the wood was rotten."

"If your furniture hadn't arrived in time, I might have been woken up by a piece of wood while I was sleeping. That would have been terrible!"

Early in the morning, Lu Wenjiang ran to Li Kailang and boasted about his furniture making.

"Really? It seems that I gave it at the right time. It would be good if you can use it easily, senior brother!" Li Kailang said modestly.

Lu Wenjiang continued, "I've talked to your sister-in-law and asked her to give you all her share. You can take the fabric back and do whatever you want with it!"

Li Kailang waved his hands repeatedly: "No need, I can't use that much by myself!"

"Then I don't care. Your sister-in-law has already made the decision. If you are asked to take it, just take it. I will go to the textile factory at noon and bring it to you!"

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go complete the mission. You can wait for me at noon."

After saying that, Lu Wenjiang turned around and left without waiting for Li Kailang to refuse.

As soon as he was driven away, Zhang Fen and Zhang Jinwu came over and praised Li Kailang's craftsmanship and furniture.

"By the way, my mom asked me to ask you, how long does it take you to build a wardrobe? My mom wants you to build one for me."

"Master's wife also wants a wardrobe?"

Zhang Fen explained: "Well, my mother saw Xiaoya's wardrobe and wanted it too. If my sister-in-law hadn't said so, my mother would have snatched it away long ago. Isn't this asking for a fight with you?"

"Whenever Master's wife needs it, I'll do it as soon as possible!"

Zhang Fen quickly explained: "Oh, don't worry, don't worry. My mother said, don't rush it just because she wants it. Don't let it affect your rest."

"Just tell me an approximate time."

Li Kailang hesitated for a moment and gave a time: "Then one week? Do you think that's okay?"

"Okay, of course! By the way, I'll give you the money! I can't let you fight for nothing!"

As he spoke, Zhang Fen took out the money he had prepared in advance and stuffed it into Li Kailang's hand.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you!"

After saying that, he walked away immediately while Li Kailang was still not able to react.

Li Kailang looked at the money in his hand and shook his head helplessly.

On the other side, five senior leaders of the steel rolling mill gathered for a small meeting.

"Deputy Director Li, what is the current situation of the construction of the tube building?"

"Director Lu, the tube building has been built. We can move in in a few days."

"Well, that's good. Please draw up a list of leaders who are suitable for living in the tube building. We can select them before the New Year."

"Okay!" Li Huaide responded.

Secretary Wang glanced at Director Lu, who was leisurely drinking tea in the first seat, and reminded Li Huaide:

"Oh, Deputy Director Li, remember to report the workers as well. Don't just report the leaders and not the workers, to avoid any problems later!"

"Especially those senior workers and engineers who were transferred away, their roots are still here."

"Okay!" Li Huaide quickly wrote it down.

Director Lu took a sip of tea, closed the thermos, and said calmly:

"Okay, let's end the meeting here. Is there anything else you want to add?"

Hearing this, the words are so straightforward, is there anything else to add?
"Since everyone is silent, let's end the meeting here and go about your business. By the way, Deputy Director Yang, please stay!"

Zhao Zhiyuan and Li Huaide glanced at Deputy Director Li unwillingly and turned to leave the meeting room.

Director Lu waited for a while, and when he was sure that the others had gone far away, he looked at Deputy Director Yang.

"Xiao Yang, I'm keeping you here. You should be able to guess what I meant, right?"

"I will be leaving after the New Year. I am lucky this time. There is a vacancy in the department, so I will be promoted this time."

"Really?" Deputy Director Yang was happy for Director Lu.

"Really!" Director Lu nodded heavily. "The senior leader has made the final decision on this matter. Basically, there won't be any mistakes. We just have to wait until after the New Year."

"I kept you here on purpose to tell you something."

"After I leave, you should be the director of the steel mill."

As soon as he finished speaking, Deputy Director Yang stood up and looked at Director Lu in disbelief.

"Sit down and don't be so nervous!"

Director Lu stood up, pressed Deputy Director Yang's shoulder, and continued:

"The senior leader also agrees with you becoming the factory director, and there is a high probability that you will be appointed after the new year!"

"Before the New Year, I plan to pass on some things to you. Please read more and ask questions when you encounter something you don't understand while I am still here."

As he spoke, in order to support his words, Director Lu picked up the briefcase beside him and took out a stack of documents from it.

"You should be able to use these documents. Take a look at them and familiarize yourself with them."

Deputy Director Yang took the document with joy and glanced through it.

Director Lu explained: "There are some things in this document that need to be arranged after the New Year. Logically, they should be arranged before the New Year."

"It's just that you will be promoted to factory director after the new year, so I won't make the arrangements for now. You can make the arrangements after I leave!"

"Take it back later and take a closer look."

"Don't worry, Director Lu, I will take a close look at it." Deputy Director Yang assured.

"Yeah!" Director Lu nodded happily. Deputy Director Yang didn't realize at all that Director Lu had set up this trap.

To be precise, it is not a pitfall, but a difficult problem.

Senior workers and engineers were transferred away, affecting all aspects of the steel rolling mill's arrangements.

As a result, many arrangements cannot be carried out according to previous arrangements and need to be replanned.

The difficulty of this can be imagined, and Director Lu doesn't want to waste his time trying to solve this problem.

"Oh, I feel so relieved now that I have nothing to do!" Director Lu leaned back in his chair and sighed silently in his heart.

"Without this big problem, I can finally relax for a while!"

Director Lu did not make things difficult for Deputy Director Yang and gave him a month before the New Year to look at it, so as to avoid chaos after the New Year!

After all, the steel mill is his base and no mistakes can be made.

It was impossible for the ministry to sit idly by and watch problems arise at the steel mill right after he was promoted to the ministry.

At that time, Lu Changzai will have to step down and take charge of the steel rolling mill again. It will be difficult for him to be promoted then.

"Okay, there's no rush to read these documents. Come with me to walk around the factory first! I'm not leaving yet, so there's plenty of time to read."

"Okay! It just so happens that I haven't gone shopping yet!"

Deputy Director Yang naturally would not refuse Director Lu's proposal. He took the documents and accompanied Director Lu for a stroll.

"hateful!"

Li Huaide was in the office, gritting his teeth as he watched the two of them strolling leisurely.

"It's really you!"

Zhao Zhiyuan also watched the two people strolling around, but he was not like Li Huaide. Instead, he was very Buddhist and didn't care at all.

"I don't care who the leader is, I just need to stay in my position!"

Zhao Zhiyuan simply lay on the chair, crossed his legs, and looked very leisurely.

Without a backer, Zhao Zhiyuan knew that he couldn't get ahead by his own efforts alone, so he started to be more relaxed.

"Xiao Yang! You have to pay more attention to the factory's affairs. I'll bring you some documents in a few days. Please take a look at them. Next year will not be easy!"

Director Lu looked at Deputy Director Yang who was distracted and felt a little worried.

"Our factory has finally gotten back on track, and the impact of the departure of senior workers and engineers has now subsided."

"But our factory should not make any major changes, nor should it make any drastic changes. For now, it is best to maintain the status quo."

Deputy Director Yang nodded, understanding what he meant.

After more than two months, everyone has adapted to the days without senior workers, and everything continues as usual.

As the two walked, Director Lu gave them instructions from time to time, and they unknowingly arrived at the canteen kitchen.

Canteen chef.

"What did you say? You said Shazhu didn't come to work today?"

"He's really rebellious. He's only been working for two days, and he dared to ask for leave today. Who gave him the courage to not take me seriously?"

Zhao Qiming was furious in the kitchen and vented his anger on everyone.

"Zhao Qiming, why are you arguing? What's the point of being angry? Shazhu hasn't even come yet. What's the point of being angry with us?"

A chef on the side said unhappily.

"Yes! Shazhu is the one who asked for leave for Master Yi from the workshop. He is an eighth-level worker. If you are unhappy, go and talk to Master Yi. What's the point of talking to us?"

When Zhao Qiming heard Yi Zhonghai's name, he was choked and speechless.

Yi Zhonghai is very popular now, and he is one of the few treasures in the steel mill. No one can tell anyone. "You should have said that it was Master Yi who invited you!" Zhao Qiming smiled kindly.

"Alright, alright, Director Zhao, if you have nothing else to do, please go out first and don't delay our work!"

"Huh? What did you say?" Zhao Qiming looked at the master who was speaking angrily.

"I say, Zhao Qiming, if you have nothing to do, please go out first and don't disturb our work here. We still have a lot of work to do!"

"Ye Zifei, how can you talk to me like that? I'm the canteen director, the canteen director!"

Zhao Qiming pointed at Ye Zifei angrily and cursed at him.

Ye Zifei was not afraid at all, and looked at Zhao Qiming: "What? Zhao Qiming, am I wrong?"

"If we are delayed from working, we won't be able to have lunch. Are we going to starve?"

"Okay, since you don't think highly of me, then I'm not going to do this anymore. You can do it yourself! Let's go!"

Ye Zifei threw away his chef's coat and walked away with a disdainful look on his face.

Zhao Qiming didn't tolerate it at all and said directly:

"If you dare to step out of the kitchen, I will fire you. How dare you, an apprentice, talk to me like that?"

Then, he looked at the chefs, kitchen helpers, and apprentices and said, "If you want to leave, you will end up like him!"

"Okay! Director Zhao is right!"

As soon as Zhao Qiming finished speaking, a chef clapped his hands and cheered, which made Zhao Qiming happy.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, he threw off his kitchen coat and said, "I also want to see if Director Zhao dares to fire me!"

After saying that, he stepped out of the kitchen.

"Clap clap-"

In an instant, all the chefs, kitchen helpers, and apprentices took off their kitchen clothes and looked at Zhao Qiming.

When Ye Zifei saw everyone supporting him, he was overjoyed and looked at Zhao Qiming with disdain.

"Zhao Qiming, you are amazing, aren't you? We are all out, let me see how you prepare lunch and wait for everyone to have fun!"

"Ah~"

"Hahaha--"

Suddenly, everyone burst into laughter.

They have been complaining about Zhao Qiming for a long time, and the fuse of all this started with Sha Zhu.

As soon as Sha Zhu came back, Yi Zhonghai advised him to unite the canteen and let everyone work together to deal with Zhao Qiming.

But if you want everyone to unite, you naturally have to make sacrifices.

In just two days of returning to the cafeteria, Sha Zhu taught no less than five practical tips, which took everyone's cooking skills to a higher level.

In contrast, Zhao Qiming did nothing.

Especially when compared to other canteens where people were upgraded but they had no one, their resentment towards Zhao Qiming deepened.

"You guys!!!"

Zhao Qiming pointed at the people who sang against him with great anger.

"Zhao Qiming, aren't you awesome? Come on, cook lunch for all the workers! Fire us all!"

Ye Zifei said sarcastically, and the others looked at him jokingly.

"Okay, okay, you guys are awesome! Since you think so, I'll kill you all! No one will be left alive!"

"What do you mean, all open!" Suddenly, a majestic voice came.

Zhao Qiming laughed in anger: "Don't you understand? I will fire all of you, not a single one will remain alive!"

"Do you really think I'm afraid of you? I won't believe it until I ask people from other cafeterias to help. Without you, the cafeteria won't be able to function! We won't be able to cook!"

Zhao Qiming was too lazy to waste time talking to them and didn't give them any face.

"Director Lu, Deputy Director Yang!"

Everyone in the cafeteria looked at Deputy Director Yang with a sullen face and frowning brows, and Director Lu with a amiable look on his face.

"Zhao Qiming, what did you just say?"

"Director Lu, Deputy Director Yang! I...I."

Zhao Qiming suddenly became incoherent and didn't know what to say.

Director Lu didn't look at Zhao Qiming, but looked at the chefs and said amiably:
"I don't know what happened just now, can anyone tell me?"

Hearing this, Ye Zifei stood up and wanted to explain to Director Lu.

Director Lu listened to everything with an expressionless face, but Deputy Director Yang was unable to remain expressionless.

At this critical moment, a problem occurred.
"Zhao Qiming, you are the canteen director. Who gave you the right to fire them all?"

"If we fire them, how will we prepare meals? What will the workers eat at noon? Are you going to make it?"

Zhao Qiming was sweating profusely when asked: "I, I can find someone from another cafeteria to do it, it won't delay everyone's meal."

Deputy Director Yang shouted, "Do people from other canteens do this? Zhao Qiming, do you know what you are talking about? There are only so many people in each canteen."

"If you transfer a few people from here and there, others will do more work, and in the end, no one will be able to do their job well!"

Deputy Director Yang scolded Zhao Qiming, while Director Lu watched from the side, smiling but saying nothing.

After a while, Director Lu said, "Deputy Director Yang, don't be so angry. I don't think Director Zhao meant it that way. He was just talking."

"Yes, yes, Director Lu, I'm just talking!" Zhao Qiming quickly agreed.

"Look, Deputy Director Yang and Director Zhao have said this, calm down!"

Director Lu acted like a good guy and defended Zhao Qiming.

Director Lu said sincerely: "Comrades, I don't think Director Zhao did it on purpose. For my sake, please go back and cook."

"As for Director Zhao, we will give you an explanation later."

Since the leader said so, everyone in the cafeteria felt relieved and stopped caring about it.

"Okay, for the sake of Director Lu, we won't charge Zhao Qiming! Let's all go back and prepare the food."

Director Lu looked at Zhao Qiming and said, "Director Zhao, your case is not serious. We will handle it for you later."

"I hope you can do your job well. We are leaders, not enemies of our comrades."

"Yes, yes!" Zhao Qiming agreed repeatedly.

"Okay, we'll leave first!"

Director Lu glanced at Deputy Director Yang and turned to leave.

"Humph, I'm going to deal with you when we get back!"

Before leaving, Deputy Director Yang glanced at Zhao Qiming, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Huh~" Zhao Qiming let out a long sigh.

"Fortunately, the leader didn't blame me, otherwise, otherwise."

Zhao Qiming burst into tears, and suddenly realized that the leader had not blamed him at all.

Director Lu and Deputy Director Yang, one plays the good guy and the other plays the bad guy.

Isn't this a common trick?

"Dead! Dead! I have lost my position!"

Zhao Qiming's legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.

"No, no!"

Suddenly, Zhao Qiming thought of something, "I am Li Huaide's man, and Deputy Director Yang can't control me."

"Yes! Deputy Director Yang can't control me! I'm going to find Li Huaide now."

Zhao Qiming seemed to have found a life-saving straw and hurried to Li Huaide for help.

"Director Li, you have to save me!"

Li Huaide looked at Zhao Qiming, who started crying as soon as he arrived, with a puzzled look on his face.

"Xiao Zhao, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Qiming explained what had happened to Li Huaide.

Li Huaide looked at Zhao Qiming with pity, "Don't beg me anymore, pack up your things and make room for me."

"Clean your ass while there's still time."

"Director Li, you can't not save me! I'm your man!"

"Save you? If you had done this before today, I could still save you. But you chose to do this today, and Director Yang happened to see it."

"How can you ask me to save you? If you don't go down today, you will go down in two days."

"Okay, I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore, just handle it yourself!"

Li Huaide was already angry, and now Zhao Qiming wanted to save him himself. What a joke.
