Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

When Director Yang heard someone knocking on the door, he looked up and said, "Come in."

He Daqing walked in politely, and Director Yang immediately stood up enthusiastically.

"Oh, you're here so early. I thought you needed to rest more. Come on, sit down. Here's my tea. Drink it first."

Director Yang treated He Daqing the same way he had treated him before. He did not despise him because he ran away with the widow, nor did he praise him because he became a great hero.

He Daqing likes this kind of down-to-earth friendship.

"Brother Yang, I'm not thirsty. I just had a meal." He Daqing said with a smile, and then asked, "Should I go to work directly later?"

"I'll take you there. There's no rush. I'm preparing."

"Ready? Brother Yang, please don't be polite to me. I just want to work properly. Please don't make a big fuss."

He Daqing guessed that Director Yang must have prepared a welcome ceremony just as he said.

Although he enjoys the feeling of being appreciated and admired, he doesn't really like being high-profile.

Being too high-profile is just showing off, and everything will turn into the opposite when it reaches the extreme. That is not what He Daqing wants to see.

Director Yang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on. It's not a big event. I just want to publicize your heroic deeds to everyone."

He Daqing didn't want to disappoint Director Yang's efforts, so he finally said, "Then I'll follow Director Yang's arrangements."

"Haha, you're still being polite to me. Just call me Brother Yang, it's more friendly. There's no outsider here, so there's no need to be polite."

Director Yang laughed heartily. He felt that his initial feeling was correct and that He Daqing was a very honest person.

Now it seems that I was not wrong.

He Daqing had no idea what Director Yang was thinking at the moment. If he knew, he would definitely laugh until he vomited blood.

He Daqing is the only one who is honest? Have you made a mistake yet?

The original He Daqing was so poor that he could not survive, so he returned to the Siheyuan to find Sha Zhu to take care of him in his old age.

"Almost done, let's go over there first. The welcome ceremony will be held in the cafeteria."

Director Yang said this with a smile, and when he stood up, He Daqing also stood up.

It was still some distance from here to the canteen, and the two met quite a few factory workers along the way.

Some old employees recognized He Daqing, but since Director Yang was following them, they only dared to whisper behind him and did not dare to come up to him to ask any questions.

"Isn't that He Daqing? Why is he back?"

"I heard that he was bewitched by a widow and ran away with her."

"What are you doing back this time? You're not going to ask the factory manager for a job, are you? I heard the canteen director has been transferred to another position."

"It's He Daqing? The canteen director? Stop it."

"Hahaha, if you don't talk about his eye problems, He Daqing is a pretty good cook, much better than his son."

……

Director Yang couldn't hear clearly what those people were talking about behind his back, but He Daqing heard it quite clearly.

His hearing was so good that he could hear the buzzing sound of a mosquito's wings even if it flew past from ten meters away.

Before they knew it, they arrived at the cafeteria entrance.

There were two big red flowers hanging on the gate, and several workshop directors were already waiting there.

Director Yang only told them about He Daqing's matter yesterday and also explained today's tasks.

At this moment, the way they looked at He Daqing was different from others. They really admired and respected He Daqing.

For no other reason than that the people's heroes deserve respect.

"Welcome home, Comrade Qing!"

The director of workshop No. 1 spoke first. He had a loud voice, and when he shouted, all the others looked over here.

The remaining workshop directors also spoke up immediately: "Welcome Comrade Daqing home!"

Although He Daqing was mentally prepared, he was still very excited.

"Thank you, thank you all."

He Daqing spoke with gratitude, and the factory workers who had not yet walked in for the meeting were dumbfounded.

They received a notice at the gate early this morning and were asked to come to the cafeteria for a staff meeting at 8 a.m.

I originally thought it was just an ordinary routine meeting and no one took it seriously.

Who would have thought it would be such a shocking scene.

Welcome He Daqing? Why? What did he do?

Even if He Daqing is an old employee and even if he has good skills, he should just come back in a low-key manner. Why does he need so many leaders to welcome him?

The quick-witted factory workers began to speculate, but before they could express their thoughts, they saw a banner hanging above the meeting table as soon as they entered the cafeteria.

"Welcome back Comrade He Daqing! Long live the hero!"

hero?

Such a title not only confused the factory workers, but also He Daqing's son He Yuzhu.

He did know about his father's heroic deeds, but didn't they hold a meeting in the compound yesterday?

Why is it so grand in the factory?

Is the old man going back to work?

Having guessed this, He Yuzhu was even more stunned.

This old man is so tight-lipped that not a single word leaked out yesterday.

"Silly Zhu, what did your father do?"

"Yeah, silly, tell me now."

Two canteen employees pulled Sha Zhu aside and asked him questions. Before Sha Zhu could say anything, Director Yang, He Daqing and others had already gone up to the platform.

He Daqing and Director Yang sat in the middle seats. When everyone saw him, they felt that He Daqing was extraordinary.

"There's a meeting downstairs, everyone please be quiet."

Director Yang sat down and spoke through the microphone, and the entire cafeteria fell silent in an instant.

"We called everyone here today to publicize the heroic deeds of our comrade He Daqing. Just the morning before yesterday, the bank in Baocheng..."

Like Director Wu, Director Yang spoke passionately about He Daqing's bravery and specifically emphasized He Daqing's contributions.

All the employees present were amazed, and the way they looked at He Daqing changed.

"When did he become so powerful?"

"My God, this is a hidden gem. No wonder the factory director came to meet him in person."

"It seems that we can't just hear about this person. We don't really know him, so we should not say bad things behind his back."

"Shazhu will have a good life in the future, his father is now the canteen director."

"When will my dad be able to fight the gangsters and bring honor to me? I envy Shazhu."

Everyone was talking at once, and He Yuzhu stood in the crowd looking very proud.

This feeling of honor is dozens of times greater than what I felt yesterday in the compound. Oh no, it’s hundreds of times more.

There are only a few more people in the compound?

There are thousands of employees in the factory!

With so many people envying him, he will even walk with his head held high from now on.

The meeting ended with warm applause.

He Daqing, wearing a big red flower and holding a certificate of honor prepared by the factory, walked to the canteen director's office.

Speaking of which, He Daqing himself felt like he was dreaming.

The original plan was to return to Beijing and, with the letter of introduction given by the hotel director, I would be lucky enough to get my previous job.

I never thought that I would become a leader as soon as I came back.

He Daqing felt like he was stepping on cotton. He walked to the table and sat down, and the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Dad, I came to see you!" Sha Zhu rushed in with several people.
