Chapter 96 My brother-in-law Zhang Ming is dead
The next morning, He Yuzhu got up, washed up, and rode his bicycle toward the steel rolling mill.
Liu Lan had prepared breakfast in advance and sent Liu Xin to school. The two of them were usually quite careful in public, leaving no room for others to speculate.
Everyone knew Liu Lan had someone, but no one knew who it was. It wasn't that no one suspected He Yuzhu, but he had been particularly careful from the beginning.
Aside from work, the two didn't really have much contact. Li Huaide actually knew about Liu Lan and He Yuzhu's affair; there was nothing he could do about it.
Liu Lan often serves dishes to the private dining room. If He Yuzhu hides this from her, Li Huaide might scheme against her.
Knowing that Liu Lan was backed by He Yuzhu, Li Huaide naturally wouldn't harm her. There were plenty of pretty young women at the steel mill; Li Huaide wasn't about to follow Cao Cao's example.
When He Yuzhu arrived at the factory, he went to the conference room for the routine meeting. It was the same old talk, followed by a brief discussion of some new policies, before everyone returned to their offices.
After the meeting, He Yuzhu went back to his office to slack off.
He Yuzhu usually doesn't go to the guesthouse or canteen down there.
He himself had been a director and knew that people below generally didn't want to see their superiors come to inspect.
Everyone will be very nervous at that time, since every unit has a leader. The other party also knows how to do their job well.
He Yuzhu likes everyone to take responsibility for their own tasks, and he doesn't want to be disliked unless a problem arises.
Putting myself in their shoes, when I was the director, I didn't want to see my superiors nitpicking every day either.
Of course, occasional surprise inspections are also necessary. This way, subordinates will feel a sense of urgency, fearing that one day their superiors will discover problems with their work.
When subordinates have a sense of awe, they won't be too lax in their daily work. As long as nothing serious goes wrong, He Yuzhu won't play the role of the stern judge.
After He Yuzhu took office, the guesthouse staff were instructed to continue with the status quo. He had been in charge of the guesthouse for many years, and everyone was used to his working style.
He only raised some concerns about the cafeteria, as He Yuzhu had visited it a few times before.
Regardless of the taste of the food, no one can cook as well as him.
The key issue is that the hygiene is somewhat questionable. Putting everything else aside, the hygiene of the guesthouse managed by He Yuzhu is truly exemplary.
He Yuzhu initially demanded that everyone strictly enforce hygiene, which displeased many people, but He Yuzhu firmly insisted on this rule.
He Yuzhu initially dealt severely with two people, including a squad leader. Now everyone knew how determined the leader was, and naturally dared not try to fool them.
Later, people got used to it and found that the cleanliness made them feel more comfortable. Then, they gradually began to consciously uphold the order, and the hygiene situation improved significantly.
When leaders come over, they smile. The guesthouse has received the Outstanding Unit Award from the steel rolling mill for several consecutive years. Now the canteen is also improving, which shows that He Yuzhu's work is very effective.
Leaders aren't stupid; they can tell who's doing a good job and who's doing a poor job.
Previously, He Yuzhu had no jurisdiction over the canteen, but now that he is in charge, he will definitely not allow the canteen to fail to meet hygiene standards.
This is something He Yuzhu has been working on recently, and the canteen director had previously learned about the guesthouse's situation.
It wasn't that he didn't want to learn from the guesthouse's practices, but the people below objected, feeling that we were already working hard enough just preparing ingredients and cooking every day.
As for hygiene, it's acceptable to be so-so, but now that He Yuzhu is pressuring him to make changes, the canteen director has no choice but to bite the bullet and do it.
The people in the cafeteria are used to being lazy, and now that they realize the leaders won't agree, they certainly won't compromise easily.
He Yuzhu had just taken drastic measures a few days ago, making two examples of them and sending them to the cleaning team to clean the factory toilets every day.
Under He Yuzhu's pressure, the canteen staff finally began to take hygiene seriously.
A thorough cleaning will definitely make a big difference to the sanitation. The most important thing is to stick to it. To stick to it, you naturally need to work hard every day.
This is definitely against human nature, and He Yuzhu is well aware of it. Even the guesthouse has become somewhat lax since he left.
Liu Lan and Qin Huairu both work at the guesthouse, so his information is naturally very accurate.
He Yuzhu would occasionally go to the guesthouse to give everyone a warning, and he had to keep a close watch on the canteen.
First, raise the cleanliness level to 100. Even if you can't reach that level later, you can still achieve 50%.
It's at least less than 10% of what it is now. He Yuzhu gets a headache just looking at the cafeteria's hygiene. As a leader, he naturally won't just coast along.
If we improve the hygiene first, the workers will be in a much better mood when eating in the canteen.
The cafeteria has been kept very clean lately, and the workers have been giving it rave reviews.
It's clear that everyone prefers to eat in a clean and hygienic place.
Even the factory leaders are now praising the hygiene of the canteen.
He Yuzhu isn't one to work himself to the bone, but he should at least demonstrate a basic work ethic.
This is also why he was promoted continuously, and others couldn't say anything about it.
Because He Yuzhu is indeed skilled at his job, his superiors can naturally see that.
He Yuzhu stayed at the guesthouse’s small kitchen after joining the steel rolling mill.
From clerk to section chief, deputy section chief, and section chief, he rose step by step, and the guesthouse also made a significant contribution to the steel rolling mill.
This included connecting with experts from Da Luo, coordinating various materials in the factory, and having leaders inspect some work. He Yuzhu's culinary skills also contributed to the good progress of various tasks.
Some things are known to everyone, and some things are known to only a very few people, but that doesn't stop people from valuing He Yuzhu.
Now that He Yuzhu has been promoted to deputy director level, if he wants to continue to be promoted, he can't just coast along; he has to make as many achievements as possible.
It would be reasonable to accumulate seniority over a few years and then be promoted to the level of director.
To achieve this goal, He Yuzhu would certainly not allow his subordinates to hold him back.
By handling the two fried thorns, everyone in the canteen had seen He Yuzhu's decisiveness and his unwavering commitment.
As a leader, simply appeasing others is definitely not the way to go. He Yuzhu has been the director of the guesthouse for many years and has his own methods for managing people.
By focusing on the hygiene of the cafeteria, He Yuzhu quickly established his reputation.
The canteen staff all showed respect to He Yuzhu; a leader's authority doesn't always have to be demonstrated by raising one's voice.
Li Huaide was also watching how He Yuzhu handled his work as deputy director.
Seeing that He Yuzhu quickly made a breakthrough and achieved remarkable results, Li Huaide was also very satisfied.
It seems that Xiao He is not only good at cooking, but also quite adept at management.
As friends, if you can help and cooperate with each other in your careers, then you are naturally better than others.
He Yuzhu was Li Huaide's most valued subordinate, and through his culinary skills, he made many connections.
Even now, He Yuzhu is still required to cook at the leaders' homes frequently. Li Huaide has given He Yuzhu the treatment he was entitled to, but since He Yuzhu cannot establish himself, he will not force He Yuzhu to a higher position.
That wouldn't be helping him, it would be harming him.
He Yuzhu was unaware of Li Huaide's underlying thoughts; he simply felt that he should do it this way.
He Yuzhu was a little confused when he received a call from Liu Dazhi. Liu Dazhi never called him normally, and the other man had even come to the courtyard house before. He always came to the house to talk about something, so this first call must be something important.
During the phone call, Liu Dazhi explained the purpose of his call.
Liu Yuchun's husband was actually hit on the head with a club during a water dispute with a neighboring village. He was rushed to the hospital but couldn't be saved. Now, with funeral arrangements approaching, Liu Dazhi asked He Yuzhu if he was coming.
As Liu's son-in-law, He Yuzhu definitely needs to go there.
He found Qin Song, Chang Wei, and Liu Dawei, who worked at the steel rolling mill.
These are all members of the Liu family who are related to Zhang Ming, so naturally they all need to attend his funeral.
After asking for leave, the group hurriedly took a car to Liu Yuchun's in-laws' house.
When they arrived at Liu Yuchun's husband's house, a mourning hall had already been set up. The Zhang family was a prominent family in the village, so naturally, they were received by others.
As relatives, He Yuzhu, Qin Song, Chang Wei, and Liu Dawei only needed to give gifts and burn paper money.
Seeing Liu Yuchun's sad and upset appearance, He Yuzhu felt somewhat helpless.
How old is she? She's already going to be a widow.
With two children to care for, Liu Yuchun's future life is unlikely to be very good.
As the second sister's husband, He Yuzhu secretly slipped ten yuan to Liu Yuchun when he left.
Qin Song, Chang Wei, and Liu Dawei each gave Liu Yuchun five yuan.
This is also the benefit of having relatives; with this money, Liu Yuchun at least doesn't need to worry about making a living in the short term.
As for the future, we'll see.
There's not much they can do, but as relatives, they'll definitely lend a hand when someone is in trouble. However, it's impossible for everyone to ignore their own families and help their relatives.
He Yuzhu, Qin Song, Chang Wei, and Liu Dawei returned to Beijing that same day.
They were only brothers-in-law, and the key point was that Zhang Ming wasn't very close to everyone. So no one was particularly sad; at most, they just lamented Liu Yuchun's misfortune.
Zhang Ming harbored resentment and had never been close to the Liu family. Qin Song, Chang Wei, and Liu Dawei would often come to the courtyard to drink with He Yuzhu.
Everyone worked at the steel rolling mill, and He Yuzhu was the only leader among them, as well as the Liu family's backer.
Qin Song, Chang Wei, and Liu Dawei naturally looked to He Yuzhu for advice. Whenever they encountered problems, they would come to He Yuzhu for consultation, or they would come to the He family's house for drinks to get closer to each other.
For this reason, the families are now quite close. They are all sons-in-law of the Liu family and live in the capital, making it convenient for them to visit each other.
Zhang Ming never visited the He family's courtyard house, nor did he have much contact with Qin Song or Chang Wei.
Back in the capital, everyone went their separate ways, and He Yuzhu returned to his courtyard house.
Liu Yulan had asked about her eldest sister's situation and knew that her sister was very upset, so she also became worried.
It's estimated that Liu Yulan will go and visit her older sister later. As her younger sister, she'll help her if she can.
