At this time, Mr. Yang called the canteen director's office phone and told him the reason for his visit. He also immediately said that he would go to the scene to understand the situation.

At first, Chen Mu considered leaving on his own and giving the two of them the opportunity to negotiate, but Mr. Yang suggested that he needed to be present to assist in this incident, so he decided to stay here.

After listening to Mr. Yang's advice, Chen Mu nodded in agreement. After a while, the canteen director arrived at the venue.

The two chose a corner to communicate.

After Chen Mu handed the homemade sausage to Director Wang and he tasted it, he immediately praised it.

“It seems that Mr. Yang’s suggestion makes sense.

"He said with emotion after tasting it.

Faced with this unexpected result, Chen Mu proposed the possibility of working with them in the cafeteria.

"Director Wang, since my cooking skills have been recognized, can I come to your factory to help work?"

Faced with this possibility, Mr. Yang showed him an admiring look and said, "Don't get too excited.

Although I like to innovate and try new things, you don't have much ambition. You're more suitable to stay in a steel company and cook.

"

Despite this, Chen Mu was still hesitant about this work plan.

The reason is that they lack familiarity with the new environment and do not want to change workplaces again.

Moreover, in this location, the working and living environment are very comfortable, it is relatively more convenient to be with family, the salary is quite considerable, and the work intensity is relatively low.

Director Wang nodded, agreeing with his concerns and respecting Chen Mu's choice.

“While I appreciate your craft, we don’t **anyone** make the choice.

Everyone has their own preferences and strengths.

" he continued.

Chen Mu understood and appreciated Mr. Wang's understanding attitude, and said that he would keep it confidential and would never leak this business plan to anyone.

He knew that Director Wang was interested in this new project and decided to ask his superiors for an increase in the reward.

As for other material benefits, Chen Mu does not care about them, thinking that they are not important and are enough to meet the needs of life now.

Finally, he completed the deal after discussing with Mr. Wang and informing him of the production process and technical details.

His identity as a chef meant that he should not ask about certain details in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

Half a month later, the sound coming from inside the cafeteria let Chen Mu know the progress of the new project: the sausage he invented was successfully recognized in production and sales, and it was expected to be on the market soon and achieve good economic benefits.

However, Chen Mu was very curious about one thing: he was very interested in the market performance of ham sausage and ham bread.

If possible, perhaps he could develop more products to boost local economy and even national growth.

Time passed like an arrow, and this matter soon faded from his mind.

Unexpectedly, a week later, Director Wang showed up at the steel rolling department and summoned Chen Mu to the company's conference room.

Director Yang, who knew the inside story, smiled and urged Chen Mu to go along.

But to others, things were not so obvious. They wondered why Chen Mu was sent to greet the leader when he came to visit.

Some people were discussing: "Isn't it Director Wang who is here? How did Chen Mu get the task of receiving the guests?"

"Could it be that the food inspection failed? He was implicated.

"

"It's unlikely, right? Look at Director Yang, he looks so happy, as if he won millions.

Most likely there is good news.

"

"Hey, Ma Hua, are you his **? Do you know what he went there for?"

That’s right, half a month ago, Ma Hua had officially become Chen Mu’s student, and his family members were witnesses.

After hearing this, Ma Hua paused for a moment while cutting vegetables, then lowered his head and continued with what he was doing, saying calmly:

"I don't know the reason, if you want to know more, you'd better go and find out for yourself.

"

After hearing this, everyone understood that he didn't want to say anything more.

Everyone curled their lips and stopped asking questions.

However, there were still some people who couldn't help saying something in their hearts - I don't know what they were proud of, but they were gently reminded by their colleagues next to them and stopped talking.

Ma Hua does not care about such things at all, because he had said earlier that when encountering things, one should think more about the problem instead of arguing with others, and use that energy to plan future paths and development plans.

Following Director Yang's lead, Chen Mu came to a private reception room and met Director Wang face to face as he just entered.

At this moment, Director Wang seemed quite happy compared to the past.

He pulled Chen Mu up and kept talking about the hot sales of the company's new products and expressing his appreciation for Chen Mu.

Chen Mu was not surprised at all. After all, ham products were indeed a hot item at that time, and it was reasonable to hear that the company's external sales had increased sharply.

When the topic of "reward" was raised, he kept shaking his head to refuse.

But he didn't expect that Director Wang insisted on giving him a gift, which made him feel helpless.

However, when the items were served on the table, he was really stunned.

"Director Wang, that's not necessary.

I just made some random food, it really doesn't deserve such a grand reward.

"

This reward was indeed a bit exaggerated! After all, in that era, televisions were rare treasures and required a lot of money to get them.

Besides, it was an old-fashioned black and white TV that was quite large.

When County Magistrate Li heard this, he felt that this statement was a little inappropriate. He even thought that the price was not worth that amount.

Seeing him thinking this, he couldn't help but smile and said disapprovingly, "Then you should accept it. The product you designed has indeed brought us considerable benefits, and it may be able to create greater benefits for us in the future.

This is not something that a TV can compare to.

"

Seeing that the other party was frowning and seemed a little entangled, he immediately added, "Everything I said came from my heart, without any deception.

You don't have to worry too much. This is what you deserve. If I didn't know that you don't like such material rewards, I might have given you more rewards.

"

Despite his inner struggle, Chen Mu knew he couldn't refuse and ultimately had to agree.

However, he himself was not sure how to install the machine because he was not a professional.

"County Magistrate Li, I don't know how to assemble this thing at all?" Chen Mu scratched his head and said helplessly.

“I have a talent for cooking, but I have to admit that I am like a novice in many other things.

"

Hearing these concerns, County Magistrate Li replied with a smile, "These are all your business, and a special team will be sent to install them.

You just need to use it with confidence.

"

When Chen Mu returned to the small courtyard, he found that the courtyard was surrounded by a large group of neighbors.

They all had expressions of amazement, obviously attracted by the newly purchased TV.

He tutted his lips, knowing that this reward was too eye-catching. If he had known earlier, he would have asked for some cash so that no one would talk about it.

But the TV was already installed, so he didn't bother to say anything.

Seeing Chen Mu coming back, everyone asked him why he suddenly sent a TV over.

After all, in that era, televisions were not something that ordinary people could afford. Some senior officials didn’t even have one, let alone ordinary workers like Chen Mu.

Therefore, this incident caused a lot of speculation and doubts among them.

To clarify, Chen Mu told everyone that it was just a small matter. He was rewarded for accidentally doing a small favor for a big leader, so he got this TV.

After hearing this, people were extremely shocked - they had been wandering around this small courtyard all these days and had never encountered any high-level officials.

And now, at such a young age, he is favored by officials. His ability and calculation skills are beyond the reach of many people.

People offered words of praise one after another, and the words of praise continued to come in one after another.

Chen Mu was a little confused. He felt that this was not such a great ability. He just moved it here intact.

But of course he would not express his feelings. He just smiled and said that his contribution was not that great.

Everyone wanted to see what was so special about the TV and asked Chen Mu to open the box and show it to them, but he declined the request.

In an instant, everyone's attention was attracted by Chen Mu.

Chen Mu smiled bitterly, revealing a cold but appropriate smile, "There are no interesting programs on right now. Do you want to wait until dinner is over before watching?"

This was indeed just a proposal, but it gained collective consensus because they really couldn't wait here for long.

After the crowd dispersed, the Chen family finally found a space to have a conversation.

Staring at the expensive color TV, Chen's mother looked puzzled.

"Xiao Mu, how did you help the big boss? Why did he suddenly send you such a TV?" She asked her son with a confused look on her face. Her daughter and daughter-in-law were the same. Obviously, they were all curious about the story behind it.

The family was close and did not deliberately hide the relationship.

Chen Mu felt that he should talk about the situation because they were all aware of his behavior.

“It’s no big deal, I just sold the sausages and bread I developed in the past to food manufacturers.

Today the market for both products covers the entire country, and this TV is a reward for that.

"

Hearing this, the whole family opened their eyes wide in surprise. It was hard to imagine that such small sausages and bread could cause such a huge response and become a hot seller across the country.

The charm of this TV is really amazing, just like the rice that everyone needs to buy.

Of course, the food tasted so good that the family couldn’t resist trying more.

Now, it’s become a precious commodity.

"Son, are you kidding me? How could two small items lead to such high-end prizes?" Mother Chen was shocked.

Ever since the technicians installed the TV, they had been speculating on the possibilities behind it, never expecting the final result to be so extraordinary.

"Oh, Mom, I know what you want to ask - I'm telling the truth, because I would never have any reason to lie to you, so what I say is true.
