Siheyuan: I am invincible with my portable space

According to my understanding, “I think if we really have to choose a new food director, it should be Chen Mu, his cooking skills are impeccable.

“After all, he has the support of a big name, and he starts to steal the limelight as soon as he comes in. Most people can’t handle that.

"

Chen Mu smiled indifferently at their pity for him, "Please don't try to take advantage of me. It is my principle not to tailor my clothes to my needs and not to do things beyond my scope.

"

Although Li Feng and Ma Hua had been expecting to get some gossip information from Chen Mu, their efforts were in vain and Chen Mu just brushed them off.

Some even suggested that they should consider becoming journalists as soon as possible.

Although Liang Weimin entered the management level through connections, he is not completely incompetent.

Meetings continued in the afternoon, with employees being invited one by one for private conversations.

Chen Mu speculated that this move seemed to be aimed at observing the employees' interpersonal adaptability and also at building beneficial personal connections for themselves.

Chen Mu was summoned alone the next day, and no one else was present except Liang Weimin.

Chen Mu almost fell asleep after listening to Deputy Director Liang praising his work ability for more than half an hour. This was the first time he encountered such a long-winded and wordy situation.

However, Chen Mu could still sense a little bit of Deputy Director Liang's intention: to win people's hearts.

Unfortunately, Chen Mu chose to pretend to be dull and not respond, with his usual smile on his face.

"Xiao Chen, I'm a new official and I'm not very familiar with this place.

However, I noticed that there were some missing items in our food purchases.

Do you have a solution, such as adding meat products?"

As soon as he heard about purchasing, Chen Mu suddenly understood why his eyes had been twitching in the morning.

"Director Liang, I understand your good intentions, but the current market situation is too tense.

Especially meat, I went to several places but couldn't buy much. People's lives are really difficult.

"

Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Liang pursed his lips and checked Chen Mu's previous work performance, which had always been excellent.

The performance in recent months has been somewhat mediocre.

It’s really hard to find good resources.

Considering the situation of the new official who cannot easily belittle his colleagues, Deputy Director Liang gave him encouragement and promised that Chen Mu would withdraw from the procurement position.

In fact, the words about purchasing aged wood were not sincere.

My focus lately has been more on medicine and family, so any omission in this area is unintentional.

After seeing Deputy Director Liang's attitude, he knew that the next issue he would have to deal with might be procurement, so he decided to resign from the position early to save time.

Chen Mu, who had no interest in this kind of time-consuming and wasteful interaction, immediately turned around and walked straight to Director Huang's office.

Director Huang was a little surprised when he greeted him, and he quickly stood up to greet him and asked:

"Chen Mu, why are you here?" Chen Mu directly expressed his purpose, without beating around the bush or procrastinating, and was concise and clear:

“Director Huang, I feel overwhelmed by the recent work of purchasing, so I hereby request to resign from this responsibility to avoid affecting the overall progress.

"

When Director Huang heard these words, he couldn't help but frown, and was greatly surprised at the reason why Chen Mu came to him.

Suddenly, he guessed some possibilities:

"Chen Mu, why do you want to resign? Did Liang Weimin say something to you?"

In response, Chen Mu shook his head slightly and clarified his position: "There is no such thing, it's just my personal opinion that since I only receive subsidies but do not take any actual actions, I really feel bad.

As a result of conscience and self-reflection, I think it is better not to fight back.

"

After listening to his words, Director Huang thought about it for a long time and finally made a decision - he agreed to his resignation request.

"Since you have said so, I have nothing more to say but to respect your decision.

"

"This week is almost over. Take your detailed list to the Finance Department to resolve it. However, you will not receive any more subsidies in the future.

"

Chen Mu understood that it would be impossible to continue to force it without dealing with the matter.

So he nodded to express his gratitude: "I know, thank you, Director, I have to trouble you again.

"

Director Huang did not pay much attention to this minor inconvenience, but before the other party left, he stopped him and said, "Xiao Chen, if you are wronged, you must tell me.

You are the most capable mess staff in the steel mill, and I hope you won't be disturbed by irrelevant matters.

"

When Chen Mu heard this, a trace of helplessness flashed through his heart.

But anyway, after expressing his gratitude, he smoothly completed the resignation procedures and felt a sense of freshness that he had never felt before.

The family’s worries have been temporarily alleviated, and it’s time for me to free my mind appropriately.

After lunch, Chen Mu started to write his own medical book. Although other people in the cafeteria noticed his action, no one said anything.

At first, they were all surprised to see this, and they never thought that Chen Mu knew so much knowledge.

Chen Mu thought the matter ended there, but he didn't expect what happened next to be beyond his expectations.

Deputy Factory Director Li used to be in charge of logistics, but due to many difficulties in recent days, there were serious problems with canteen supply and little profit.

After the crisis, Deputy Director Li once again set his sights on the logistics department.

The result is that Director Huang now has no real power and is just a director in name only.

Perhaps before long, even this false reputation will be lost.

Faced with this, Chen Mu felt regretful but also calm as if he knew everything. He understood that this was not something they could interfere with. The only thing they could do was to take care of themselves and they could not interfere with other matters.

Fortunately, he resigned early to avoid this situation. However, he met Director Huang on the road. After asking him about the situation, the director just shook his head helplessly, comforted him and turned away.

He understood the endless quarrel between Director Yang and Deputy Director Li, and just hoped not to be affected by it.

Sure enough, not long after that, Director Huang left this position.

The suddenness of the incident was beyond everyone's expectations.

Rumor has it that he has been sent to work in a meat processing factory, but it is not clear whether this news is true or not.

Liang Weimin inspected everywhere as if he was making a secret visit, appearing solemn and dignified.

When the onlookers saw this action, they all shook their heads and sighed.

But they all knew that although he had not been publicly appointed as the director, he was actually the new director in everyone's eyes. This was also verified by the fact that Director Li's two assistants did not select anyone else to take the position.

Everyone was terrified by the changes within the mill, fearing that they would be in the same situation.

Fortunately, apart from the obvious position change of the director of the food department, no other changes occurred.

After returning home, Chen Mu unexpectedly found that his mother was chatting enthusiastically with Director Wang from the Street Office.

He considers himself a grateful person.

When he saw Director Wang, he immediately stepped forward to greet him warmly. If Director Wang had not helped him and taken care of his deceased father's affairs, he would have been criticized and accused of being ungrateful.

Over the years, his relationship with Director Wang has become increasingly harmonious, and whenever either of them is free, they always visit each other.

Especially since he bought a bicycle, Director Wang can often be seen asking him to borrow his bicycle.

Whether it is a festival or an ordinary moment, Chen Mu would always visit Director Yu Wang’s home to express his gratitude.

This is because of the importance of the street office's affairs. Getting close to it will only benefit you and not harm you.

After the two chatted for a while, Director Wang slowly said, "Xiao Mu, my child is getting married in three days, so I would like to ask if you can come and preside over the wedding? I guess there is no one more suitable than you in the whole neighborhood.

"

I always feel that other people’s cooking skills lack a little bit of heat, so Director Wang finally chose Chen Mu, who is an expert.

Upon hearing about the joyous event of a wedding, Chen Mu patted his chest without saying anything and generously agreed: "This is my natural duty! Director Wang's work is what I want.

"

Director Wang was delighted by this response. She reached out and patted Chen Mu on the shoulder, "I knew my little apprentice would be able to help solve the problem.

Okay, it's settled. I'll be waiting for your visit.

"

Seeing that Lord Wang was about to leave, Chen Mu stood up and invited him, "Lord Wang, why don't you stay for dinner and let me show you my cooking skills?"

"Why should I worry about your cooking skills? I still have some housework to take care of at home, so there's no need to prepare dinner for you this time.

If there is a next opportunity, please come.

"

As for Chen Mu, he knew that the complicated wedding process was not an exaggeration; he decided not to insist on the idea of ​​inviting Director Wang to have dinner.

Before preparing the meal, he noticed that Xiaohua was no longer at home, and he was quite surprised and confused.

You know, that girl is always passionate about eating, and nothing can make her give up this meal.

When I mentioned this to my mother, she smiled and replied, "She is at her friend's house, you don't have to wait for her, we can just have dinner.

"

From the mother's tone, it seemed that she was determined and didn't want Xiaohua to come home for dinner.

How important is such a friendship that it is worth Xiaohua giving up dinner to spend time with her good friend?

But without making too many speculations at this time, Chen Mu immediately buried his head in his meal. He had a lot of important things to do, and every minute seemed particularly precious.

He only noticed that his mother looked extremely tired, so he stopped and asked with concern:

"Mom, you must be exhausted from raising the kids at home alone, right?"

When Chen's mother heard this, she hesitated for a moment, then smiled softly.

"No, how can I not be happy with my grandchildren? It's just that my eldest and youngest grandchildren are a little naughty, because they are older.

"

"Then I agree, but you have to take care of yourself. If it's too hard, our two families can take turns to help.

Before, Xiaoyun wanted to quit her job at 973 and go home to take care of the baby full-time.

"

Hearing her daughter's words, Chen's mother immediately felt unhappy.

In her opinion, work and family should be separated and clearly defined, and women should also have their own career dreams.

As a mother, one can see how much Xiao Yun loves her work.

Therefore, Chen's mother does not want her daughter to make a hasty decision.
