Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

Steel Rolling Mill Li Huaide’s office.

"Master Cao, I take the problem you raised very seriously." Li Huaide said seriously.

Then he stood up again, walked to the door, looked outside, and pretended to close the door.

Then he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and threw it to Cao Wei: "Huh, Xiao Cao, you know, at this critical moment, there are always some troubles. As for you, I invited you from Fengze Garden. Your lineage is also closely related to my wife's side. We are all family, please give me, Brother Li, some face. Let's not bother with Xu Damao, how about that."

"Okay." Cao Wei nodded. "But Director, you know me. I don't like to cause trouble. I cook when I should cook and do what I should do. I will not be vague about what you tell me to do. This time, it was Xu Damao who provoked me first. And, let it go this time. What if he provokes me again?"

This is a bit presumptuous.

You can't say this when talking to your boss seriously.

The leaders have already lowered their stance, so no matter what, they have to express their stance.

But Cao Wei did not.

Because he knew that what Li Huaide really cared about was not him as a person, but his skills.

As long as his skills are good enough, he has to use them.

But then again, when it comes to Li Huaide, no matter what, he will be labeled as him. With good skills and good manners, if he gets happy one day and takes me out to hang out and confiscate my house, that is not what Cao Wei wants to see.

Therefore, from the moment Cao Wei entered the factory, his personality was that he was a good cook and a genius, but he also had a temper. He would give his leaders some respect, but he would still be angry when necessary. He kept this favorability at a level of "will give some small benefits, but not considered a core staff member."

But now, Cao Wei intends to lower this level and change it to the level of "not willing to care about it on weekdays, and only give some benefits when needed."

This kind of lowering is not difficult. As Li Huaide's power grows day by day, Cao Wei only needs to maintain the previous attitude, and Li Huaide will naturally not pay too much attention to him. That's all. By the way, Cao Wei can also take advantage of Xu Damao's incident to vent his temper.

"Don't worry, I promise you that Xu Damao will never cause you any trouble again. By the way, there will be a big surprise for you in a few days. Just wait."

"Okay, then I'll wait!"

"Hey, wait, take this cigarette." Li Huaide took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from the drawer.

Cao Wei immediately put on a smiling face: "You are so open-minded. I took some tea from our director, but you were so stingy. Good fellow, you gave me this."

"Go, go, go, remember how much money your director has. This matter..."

"I understand, I understand, I will never cause trouble for Xu Damao!"

"Okay, go ahead."

"Okay!"

after awhile.

Xu Damao knocked on the door and walked in with a guilty conscience.

Li Huaide glanced at him and said, "Close the door."

"Oh, okay." Xu Damao quickly closed the door and walked to Li Huaide's desk.

"Forehead, what's going on?"

"Hey, Director, I just bumped into it accidentally." Xu Damao was not sure what Li Huaide meant.

"I bumped into you, haha." Li Huaide sneered, "Xu Damao, do you really think I don't know what you did yesterday?"

"I didn't do anything, Director..."

Li Huaide was furious. He stood up and pointed at Xu Damao. "You, you, tell me yourself. Why did you bother a cook for no reason? To put it in a bigger way, it's destroying class friendship. Tell me, what you did, is that what a human being would do? Do you know how many letters of denunciation I have received from you these days? Do you want me to read them to you?!"

Xu Damao shrank his neck and said nothing.

He could only secretly complain in his heart, wondering how much of this was Li Huaide's own wish. Of course, he was also intoxicated by this feeling. Holding great power has always been his dream.

"Tell me yourself, why did you want to cause trouble for Cao Wei?"

"Director, I don't think he doesn't respect you very much, I..."

"I don't want to hear your nonsense!" Li Huaide interrupted Xu Damao in a harsh voice: "From today on, you just need to take care of the people in your team. I will let someone else lead the security department."

"Stop it! Director!" Xu Damao was anxious. How could he survive such a mess? How many people wanted to hit him with a club?

Moreover, it seemed that Cao Wei was not going to let him go.

It’s fine if others hit you, but as for Cao Wei’s method of throwing stones, what if you get hit by one of them while walking on the road one day?

"Don't? Do you know how much trouble you've caused me?!"

"Director, isn't he just a cook?!"

"Cook?! That's the chef of Fengze Garden!" Li Huaide slammed the table and said, "There are only a few good chefs in the whole city of Sijiu, and they are all inherited in an orderly manner. Do you know how many friends of Cao Wei's lineage have registered with the upper level? Yes, the leaders above will not give them any privileges. But if their younger generations suffer any grievances, they can also seek redress!!"

These words shocked Xu Damao so much that he took several steps back and sat on the chair.

He finally understood what it meant to be a "seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister."

"Then... Director, what should we do?" He was panicked. He never expected that Cao Wei was so powerful.

Seeing that Xu Damao was scared, Li Huaide knew that he had achieved his goal of beating him: "I have stabilized him and made him the canteen director."

"I... Director, I..." Xu Damao didn't know what to say for a moment.

The fire is almost ready, so it's time to comfort him: "Xu Damao, you and I are family, so take a long-term view. What's the point of messing with a cook, right..."

This is because Cao Wei is not here, if he were here.

Most likely you will ask something like "Why do you have so many of your own people?"

But after all, what Li Huaide said is not wrong.

Liu Lan in the kitchen is his person, as he was brought here by Li Huaide. As for Xu Damao, he is a captive dog, and how his future will be depends entirely on Li Huaide's mood.

This turmoil disappeared without a trace due to Li Huaide's interference.

The final result was that Xu Damao was demoted, Cao Wei was promoted to canteen director, and Wei Wei became a team leader.

He was transferred by Li Huaide to compete with Xu Damao.

This result satisfied everyone, except Wei Wei.
