Chapter 500 Reception!
Chapter 500 Reception!
Chen Weizhong led Mr. Sun and several others to visit more than a dozen workshops in the steel mill. Then he led Mr. Sun and others to the small canteen and said to Mr. Sun respectfully, "Mr. Sun! I have arranged for the canteen to prepare a working meal. You and the leaders, please come this way."
When Mr. Sun heard what Chen Weizhong said, he raised his wrist to check the time. Seeing that it was already past eleven o'clock in the morning, he nodded and replied, "Okay! Then let's all have a taste of the steel mill chef's cooking at noon."
Not long after everyone entered the private room, the kitchen assistant from the cafeteria came in with four dishes, one soup and a large bowl of Xiangtan rice noodles. When Chen Weizhong saw the four dishes, one soup and Xiangtan rice noodles, his face suddenly darkened. He asked the kitchen assistant in charge of serving the dishes in a serious manner, "What's going on in your kitchen? Mr. Sun is very busy every day. Today he finally had time to come to our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill to inspect our work. Are you using these four dishes and one soup to entertain Mr. Sun and the leaders of the department?"
"Also, Mr. Sun is from Sichuan. Why didn't you prepare Sichuan cuisine in the kitchen? Instead, why did you arrange for the chef to prepare Hunan cuisine? What on earth does Li Huaide do for a living?"
When Mr. Sun saw the four dishes, one soup and a bowl of Xiangtan rice noodles on the table, an expression of surprise immediately appeared on his face. However, when he thought of Jia Dongming who was working in the steel mill, he quickly guessed what was going on.
When Mr. Sun saw Chen Weizhong angrily scolding the kitchen helper, he frowned and said in a very serious tone: "Xiao Chen! What do you want to do? The great man once said that we should not be extravagant and wasteful. When entertaining guests, we only need four dishes and one soup to meet their needs. This can reflect our frugal attitude. I think these four dishes and one soup are a very good arrangement."
Chen Weizhong thought that he could take this opportunity to make Li Huaide pay for his mistakes, but he didn't expect that Boss Sun was not only very satisfied with Li Huaide's arrangement, but also criticized him. This really made Chen Weizhong feel depressed. He could only pretend to be humble and responded, "Boss Sun! You are right to criticize me. I will definitely correct it in the future and will never make similar mistakes again."
Seeing Chen Weizhong took the initiative to admit his mistake, Mr. Sun did not dwell on the issue any further. Instead, he asked the kitchen helper in a friendly manner, "Little comrade! Who arranged these dishes today?"
The kitchen helper in charge of delivering the dishes was Liu Lan from the third canteen. When Liu Lan heard Mr. Sun's inquiry, he immediately reported respectfully, "Big Boss! This dish today was arranged by Deputy Director Li, who is in charge of our logistics."
When Mr. Sun heard what Liu Lan introduced, he immediately realized that the Deputy Director Li mentioned by the other party must have a good relationship with Jia Dongming, otherwise Jia Dongming would definitely not tell Deputy Director Li that he liked Hunan cuisine.
After figuring out the reason, Mr. Sun smiled and said to Liu Lan, "Little comrade! Could you please invite Deputy Director Li to the box for me?"
When Liu Lan heard what Mr. Sun said, she nodded immediately and replied respectfully, "Big boss! I will ask Deputy Director Li for you now."
After Li Huaide arranged for someone to bring the dishes into the private room, he stood at the door of the box and observed the movements inside.
When Li Huaide heard Chen Wei Zhong's cursing from the box, he immediately realized that Chen Wei Zhong was going to take the opportunity to attack him. This made his heart jump to his throat, and he prayed secretly in his heart: "Jia Dongming, Jia Dongming! I hope your suggestion is right." Just as Li Huaide was praying in his heart, the voice of President Sun soon came from the box. When Li Huaide heard what President Sun said to Chen Wei Zhong, an incredible expression suddenly appeared on his face, because what President Sun said was exactly the same as what Jia Dongming said to him on the phone yesterday.
At this moment, Jia Dongming didn't need to think to guess that Jia Dongming must know Mr. Sun, otherwise he would not know Mr. Sun's character so well. When he heard Mr. Sun asked Liu Lan to invite him to the private room, he hurriedly walked towards the kitchen.
Soon Li Huaide arrived at the door of the small private room. He first reached out and knocked on the door, then pushed open the door and walked into the small private room. He asked Mr. Sun respectfully, "Mr. Sun! I heard from the comrades in the kitchen that you were looking for me?"
When Mr. Sun saw Li Huaide coming into the box, he said to his secretary in a friendly manner, "Xiao Zhang! Hurry up and bring a stool for Comrade Xiao Li."
When Li Huaide heard what Boss Sun had told his secretary, he immediately said to Boss Sun, "Boss Sun! I can do it myself. No need to bother Director Zhang!"
After seeing Li Huaide sitting down at the table, Mr. Sun smiled and said to everyone, "You may not know that although I am from Sichuan, my wife is from southern Hunan, so my favorite food is Hunan cuisine. Since my wife passed away, I have not eaten Hunan cuisine for many years. I have to thank Comrade Li for being able to eat such authentic Hunan cuisine today."
Yesterday, when Jia Dongming asked him to find a Hunan chef to receive Mr. Sun, Li Huaide was still wondering why Mr. Sun, who was obviously from Sichuan, liked Hunan cuisine. Now, after hearing what Mr. Sun said, Li Huaide finally understood the reason and was more convinced that Jia Dongming and Mr. Sun had a close relationship.
Li Huaide was flattered when he heard Mr. Sun's thanks and replied, "Mr. Sun! It is my job to make sure the leaders eat and drink well. This is what I should do."
After hearing Li Huaide's answer, Mr. Sun nodded with satisfaction, then raised the wine glass in front of him and said to Li Huaide in a friendly manner: "Comrade Li! You did not arrange a big banquet in the kitchen just because I am the leader. Instead, you specially arranged four dishes and one soup according to the requirements of the great man. Your behavior of responding to the great man's thoughts is worthy of recognition. I toast you with this glass of wine. I hope you can continue to work hard to escort the production of the steel rolling mill."
Li Huaide was flattered again when he heard Mr. Sun's praise and saw that Mr. Sun also toasted him alone. He quickly raised his glass, stood up from his seat, and replied respectfully, "Mr. Sun! Please rest assured that I will work hard and will never let you down."
Chen Wei Zhong, who was sitting nearby, heard CEO Sun praising Li Huaide and saw CEO Sun toasting Li Huaide with wine alone. This made him feel envious and angry at the same time. At the same time, he was secretly wondering how Li Huaide knew CEO Sun's preferences.
