Chapter 79

A day passed quickly, and winter nights came very early.

In a few days, the worker dormitories would be built.

The construction team planned to complete the site construction before the heavy snow.

In a few days, the weather would get colder, and it wouldn't be suitable for construction, so they would have to wait until spring.

Before that, all preparatory work had to be done.

The dormitories for thousands of workers were the current priority.

……

The sky was dark, and Factory Manager Yang announced the end of work.

Chen Tian's excellent performance today completely conquered all the experts present.

Sha Zhu and the three had pushed the small cart for an afternoon and were already exhausted, almost fainting.

"This dog Chen Tian is really not a thing."

"We're tired to death, and he's there showing off."

Sha Zhu was full of anger and felt very unhappy seeing everyone admiring Chen Tian so much.

Sha Zhu and Chen Tian originally had no deep hatred.

Jia Zhangshi occupying Chen Tian's house had nothing to do with Sha Zhu.

It was all because Sha Zhu was cheap and craved Qin Huairu.

Sha Zhu was just trying to stand up for Qin Huairu that he was hostile to Chen Tian.

He was narrow-minded and couldn't stand men in the Sihe Academy who were stronger than him.

Xu Damao was a weakling, and Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian couldn't compare to Xu Damao.

Finally surviving until work ended, Sha Zhu couldn't wait to go home.

. …

Everyone in the Rolling Steel Factory took the factory's transport truck back to the factory.

After getting off the truck, Factory Manager Yang called everyone together.

Factory Manager Yang praised Chen Tian again.

Except for Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai, and Liu Haizhong, everyone was very happy.

Chen Tian's words today spoke to their hearts.

The workers selected to participate in the construction of the steel mill were very proud.

Sha Zhu was winking in the crowd.

Subsequently, Factory Manager Yang announced that a victory celebration would be held in the factory today, and everyone who participated in the labor should attend.

The workers cheered.

Sha Zhu's eyes lit up, thinking Factory Manager Yang would arrange for him to cook the victory celebration, so maybe he wouldn't have to go to the construction site to move stones in the future.

Factory Manager Yang's words left Sha Zhu completely stunned.

"Comrades, in order to reward everyone, today, the factory has specially invited a chef from a high-end hotel!"

"This master's cooking skills far exceed those of a level-8 chef. It can be called the pinnacle; today, everyone can have a feast!"

The workers were very excited; a victory celebration must have good things.

In this era, the lives of ordinary workers were very average, and many people didn't have much oil in their stomachs.

Being able to eat a good meal after a hard day's work was the greatest happiness.

Sha Zhu had a dark face, not expecting he wouldn't be asked to cook.

"Hmph, what high-end hotel chef, isn't he just a cook?"

"What's so great about that?"

Sha Zhu was very confident in his cooking skills and looked down on others.

Yi Zhonghai saw Sha Zhu's thoughts and comforted him.

"Zhuzi, don't be discouraged."

"Factory Manager Yang invited a high-end hotel-level chef to reward everyone; after all, today is the first day of construction, which is of great significance."

"In the future, you will become the head chef again."

Sha Zhu had always trusted Yi Zhonghai and was immediately happy.

"First Uncle, you're right."

Sha Zhu's unhappiness just now vanished instantly.

Liu Haizhong had been hungry for a long time and couldn't help but drool when he heard there was a victory celebration.

Factory Manager Yang had already arranged it; they could serve the dishes as soon as they returned from the western suburbs.

For this victory celebration, Factory Manager Yang specially approved a budget, letting the logistics department purchase a lot of chicken, duck, fish, and meat.

Usually, people couldn't eat these things often, but that didn't mean they didn't have them.

As long as there were coupons and money, they could be bought.

The Rolling Steel Factory was a large factory with over ten thousand people, and the annual food quota was high.

After all, the Dragon Kingdom was vigorously developing industry, and the food of the workers had to be guaranteed.

Looking at the full table of feasts in front of them, the workers all had fiery eyes.

Usually, they ate in the canteen, just a portion of rice with two vegetable dishes.

If the conditions were better, slightly richer ones would add a meat dish.

This was already considered rich.

Like today, even during festivals, they might not be able to eat it.

……

Sha Zhu looked at the food in front of him and widened his eyes.

Just smelling the scent, it was much better than what he made.

He was unconvinced, but he still had to eat; Sha Zhu wasn't that stupid.

He even brought his two lunch boxes from the back kitchen, preparing to fill them up when there were many people and take them back to Qin Huairu.

This way, he could take the opportunity to touch Qin Huairu's little hand.

Thinking of Qin Huairu, Sha Zhu giggled happily.

Yi Zhonghai sat beside Sha Zhu, swallowing his saliva constantly.

Factory Manager Yang spoke as usual and praised Chen Tian greatly again.

"Hurry up and start, what's with the nonsense?"

Sha Zhu couldn't wait to eat.

Suddenly, Factory Manager Yang's tone turned cold.

"Today, there are a few people in our Rolling Steel Factory whose performance is extremely bad!"

"What did these people do?"

Everyone looked at Factory Manager Yang.

Yi Zhonghai suddenly had a bad premonition.

Sha Zhu and Liu Haizhong had no brains and stared at Factory Manager Yang as if watching a show.

"They actually slacked off at the construction site and avoided labor!"

"Such behavior is simply shameful!"

Everyone started accusing them, and many even cursed directly.

Only then did Sha Zhu know that Factory Manager Yang was talking about him, Yi Zhonghai, and Liu Haizhong.

"Damn it, it must be that bastard Chen Tian who reported us."

Sha Zhu scolded in a low voice.

The next moment, he heard Factory Manager Yang raise his voice.

"Yi Zhonghai, He Yuzhu, Liu Haizhong, you three, still have the face to sit here?"

Yi Zhonghai's face was flushed red; he had worked for so many years, and this was the first time he had been named in public.

"You three, you are not qualified to participate in today's victory celebration!"

"Now, get out!"
