Chapter 531

"Then what will happen to our Director Lu? What will happen to us?"

"If Sha Zhuzi comes back, won't we be fired by him?"

"What's there to be afraid of? The wind of reform is blowing so hard now; if I really get fired, I'll go into business!"

"I heard many people have made money. They can earn a month's salary in just one day!"

"Really? That's too exaggerated, in one day!"

"Of course it's true; look at Liu Hai Zhong's two youngest sons, they just collect scrap and have already earned enough to buy a house!"

"My god, we work hard every day, and we're not even as good as those scrap collectors!"

"Housing prices are so high now, and they can afford it!"

"That's why I say, now is truly a good time to do business!"

……

Lu Jianye listened to them, deep in thought.

At this moment, the factory director's secretary came to notify him to attend a meeting.

At the general meeting.

It was just as the workers said; the two factories had merged.

And this factory was the very Rolling Mill where Cui Dake worked.

After Cui Dake and Ding Qiunan split up, he had dated several other women, but none of them worked out.

Meanwhile, Ding Qiunan and Nan Yi had gotten married, and their child was already over six years old.

The organization issued the appointment letters today.

Cui Dake was appointed as the cafeteria director, Sha Zhuzi became the head chef, and Lu Jianye became a small cook in the cafeteria.

Hearing this news, everyone couldn't help but look at Lu Jianye.

This… this was a director who had worked at the Rolling Mill for over ten years.

And his culinary skills were obvious to all; what kind of thing was Cui Dake to come in and stand over Lu Jianye?

And that Sha Zhuzi, he had so many stains on his record, yet he could come back to be the head chef?

It was clear that this new factory director had an opinion about Lu Jianye.

Since that was the case.

Lu Jianye resigned on the spot.

I'm not doing this anymore.

Anyway, the timing was about right; consider it giving himself a vacation.

Upon hearing that Lu Jianye had resigned, the entire Rolling Mill was in an uproar.

"Lu Jianye actually resigned?"

"Sha Zhuzi is coming back, so of course he has to resign."

"The cafeteria director has changed, and the head chef has changed; if he stays here, he definitely won't have a good time."

"I heard Cui Dake's wife is the new factory director's sister-in-law."

"That explains it; nothing to be done, we don't have those connections."

……

Everyone was saying this.

When Lu Jianye left, many people came to see him off.

"Director Lu, if you go somewhere to make a fortune, let us know."

"Director Lu, the food you make is top-notch!"

"Director Lu, the wind of reform is so strong; you will definitely get better and better."

……

Lu Jianye was very moved.

He said: "Thank you all; when I start my business, you all must come to support me."

Everyone laughed and repeatedly expressed that they would definitely come to support him.

Now that supplies were no longer scarce, eating something delicious was still quite difficult.

Especially a head chef like Lu Jianye, who had once almost gone to cook for state banquets.

The dishes he made were definitely much better than the cafeteria's.

After leaving the Rolling Mill.

Lu Jianye returned to the Sihe Academy.

He was blocked by Sha Zhuzi.

"Oh, Lu Jianye, you actually resigned?"

"I just became the cafeteria head chef, and you resigned?"

"I was just thinking of promoting you, and you left."

"What can you do in the future?"

"How about I sell you my old tricycle? It's not expensive, five hundred yuan."

"I'll teach you how to collect scrap."

"At least you have three children at home; you have to raise them well."

Lu Jianye glanced at Sha Zhuzi, looking at him as if he were a complete idiot.

"Sha Zhuzi, what's it to you how I raise my three children? They are my own flesh and blood."

"Who are you raising, Sha Zhuzi?"

"Never mind that he isn't your own, he's not even a man or a woman."

"I'm telling you, the cafeteria director at the Rolling Mill is Cui Dake... He used to date Ding Qiunan. You two should get along well."

Lu Jianye went home after saying this.

He had wanted to make a move before, but now it wasn't necessary.

Sha Zhuzi wouldn't last long under Cui Dake!

Sha Zhuzi was completely stunned.

Cui Dake had lectured Sha Zhuzi before!

That dog thing!

This is truly a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road.

"Hey, who cares who he is, I'm not afraid!"

"Lu Jianye, you troublemaker, Bang Geng is a good child; I won't allow you to say that about him!"

"Consider yourself lucky for leaving early, otherwise see how I'd deal with you."

Sha Zhuzi shouted at Lu Jianye's back.

Lu Jianye didn't pay him any mind.

This was the effect Sha Zhuzi wanted; he said it, but it was as if he hadn't said anything.

If he said it to Lu Jianye's face, Sha Zhuzi was afraid of getting beaten up.

He had finally managed to get a job, and he didn't want to provoke Lu Jianye.

However, Sha Zhuzi was still very happy.

No matter what, he could return to the Rolling Mill as head chef.

He could live that carefree life again and wouldn't have to go out collecting scrap in the wind and rain.

This news soon spread throughout the entire Sihe Academy.

Yan Bugui came over carrying a small bag of peanuts.

"Sha Zhuzi, I heard you've become the head chef at the Rolling Mill; that's a great thing!"

"We should celebrate; I brought some peanuts."

Liu Hai Zhong also came over, holding half a jin of white liquor: "Sha Zhuzi, congratulations!"

"Let's have a drink today to celebrate!"

Yi Zhonghai also brought over quite a few dishes: "Sha Zhuzi, your luck has finally turned; let's have a couple of dishes today."

Sha Zhuzi had been thinking the same thing; he had to celebrate.

The three old men came to congratulate him, and although they didn't bring much, he was still very happy.

Qin Huairu also heard the news, and she was very happy. ===== CHAPTER 532 =====
