He is also very surprised and uncomfortable in his heart.

He curses Cao Weiguo for "sucking up," "pretending to be a good person," and "offering favors without cause, either treacherous or thieving."

Steel Rolling Mill

Cao Weiguo presides over the canteen work step by step.

As for the infighting in the factory, he doesn't ask or inquire.

But as Director Yang returns from "study," the fighting in the factory intensifies.

Liu Lan: "Director Cao, I heard the deputy director of the procurement section is being transferred."

Li Dong: "Weiguo, it is said that Director Yang wants to renovate the workshop, taking..."

Deputy Director Li and Director Yang are fighting fiercely, and everyone up and down is affected.

After lunch, Yu Haitang runs into the office in a rush.

"Director Cao, a notice was just issued from above."

"They want to organize a technical exchange meeting for brother units, and the activity will last for a week."

"With dozens of extra mouths out of thin air, you, the deputy director of the canteen, will be busy."

Cao Weiguo closes his notebook, looks up at Yu Haitang, and his eyes light up instantly.

Yu Haitang is wearing black trousers, a blue and white plaid shirt for women on her upper body, and black shiny leather shoes on her feet.

Seeing Cao Weiguo looking at her attire, Yu Haitang turns around and laughs crisply:

"How about it, is my outfit okay?"

"Mm, not bad, capable and refreshing."

Cao Weiguo nods in appreciation, then asks: "Do you know which brother units will be coming?"

Yu Haitang feels disappointed that Cao Weiguo didn't continue discussing her outfit.

Then she sits on the chair familiarly, straightens her body, and says crisply:

"I heard there are the parts factory, machine repair factory, power distribution factory, steel factory... over a dozen units big and small."

Just as they are chatting about the exchange meeting, the canteen director comes looking for them.

Then the two go to the conference room together.

Director Yang and Deputy Director Li specifically held a meeting to arrange the work for the exchange meeting.

This exchange meeting is a big event, led by leaders from above.

Each unit has selected backbone personnel to participate, and these individuals are the elites of each unit.

Each department has received work tasks.

Cao Weiguo's task is to be responsible for the working meals during the exchange meeting.

After the meeting, Deputy Director Li calls the canteen director, procurement director, and Cao Weiguo to his office.

"This exchange meeting is very important, with nearly a hundred participants!"

"As the saying goes, troops and horses move, but food and fodder go first."

"You must make reception preparations in advance."

"Yes!"

"Understood!"

After letting the procurement director and canteen director leave, Deputy Director Li hands a piece of paper to Cao Weiguo:

"Weiguo, these are the preferences and dietary restrictions of several main leaders of the exchange meeting; take it and familiarize yourself with it."

Cao Weiguo respectfully takes the paper from Deputy Director Li's hand.

Deputy Director Li looks at the respectful Cao Weiguo and nods secretly.

Several times hosting leaders and brother units, the dishes Cao Weiguo made were praised endlessly.

As for Cao Weiguo not being active in "other" work, Deputy Director Li doesn't care.

Cao Weiguo doesn't jump around participating in "other" work, but wholeheartedly does his own job well.

He likes this attitude.

He likes subordinates who are obedient and honest.

They can carry out work according to his arrangements without threatening his status and interests.

Deputy Director Li takes out a cigarette and hands one to Cao Weiguo: "Weiguo, you will have to work hard during the exchange meeting."

Cao Weiguo hurriedly takes out a lighter to light the cigarette for Deputy Director Li, but he doesn't light one himself, instead putting on a posture of listening attentively.

A leader handing out a cigarette is an expression of closeness, but if he doesn't know how to advance or retreat.

If he lights a cigarette and puffs smoke in front of the leader, that would be not knowing the weight of things.

Seeing Cao Weiguo's actions, Deputy Director Li is very satisfied.

Deputy Director Li says meaningfully: "Weiguo, the organization affirms your work ability and achievements."

"Next, you must take the opportunity of the exchange meeting to make your work even more outstanding."

Cao Weiguo says excitedly: "Director, rest assured, with your affirmation and support, I will definitely carry out the work with all my strength and not let the organization and your expectations down."

As soon as Cao Weiguo returns to the office, Canteen Director Zhao comes to inquire.

Cao Weiguo doesn't hide anything, telling him the content of the conversation roughly.

"That's a good thing."

Canteen Director: "It seems Director Li intends to promote you."

Cao Weiguo says nonchalantly: "The current situation is quite good, work is relaxed and comfortable."

"You can't be like this, greedy for comfort."

"You are young, you should still seek progress, unlike us who are all at this age."

Canteen Director says earnestly: "Little Brother Weiguo, your background is good, you have ability, you should be actively seeking progress."

Cao Weiguo smiles: "I don't have any thoughts of being an official; living a peaceful and safe life at home is quite good."

Cao Weiguo is already very satisfied with his current comfortable life.

As for whether to move up or not, Cao Weiguo doesn't care.

When the opening up happens, wouldn't it be more "profitable" for him to go to Xiangjiang, Europe, and America to make money?

While they are talking, Director Hu from the personnel section walks in.

"Rare guest, Director Hu, please sit."

Director Hu smiles: "I won't sit, I'm here to pass on some news to you."

Director Zhao asks: "What news?"

Director Hu says: "Director Yang wants to let Shazhu return to the factory to work."

Director Zhao says unhappily: "Hmph, this Director Yang is really partial to Shazhu."

Shazhu relies on his good cooking skills to be arrogant and domineering in the kitchen.

He has never put him, the canteen director, in his eyes.

Before Cao Weiguo was regularized, he suffered a lot from Shazhu.

Only because he couldn't catch Shazhu's handle, plus Director Yang's protection.

He could only swallow his anger.

Now hearing Director Yang support Shazhu, he is naturally unhappy.

Cao Weiguo says: "Shazhu has contributed a lot to Director Yang, so it's no surprise that Director Yang helps him."

Director Hu says in a low voice: "Silly Zhu is reinstated, so Chu Jinshui's position will be difficult to handle."

Cao Weiguo frowns: "This is a problem."

Chu Jinshui is replacing Silly Zhu's position.

Cao Weiguo asks: "Director Hu, is there any way to get Chu Jinshui regularized as soon as possible."

Director Hu shakes his head: "It's difficult; Chu Jinshui's employment time is too short, and his background is not good, so he needs time for assessment."

Director Zhao snorts coldly: "Shazhu can return to the factory, but it won't be that easy to return to the kitchen."

Director Hu says a few words and leaves the office.

He came to pass on some news, also wanting to sell Cao Weiguo a favor.

He doesn't know the feud between Cao Weiguo and Silly Zhu, but Chu Jinshui is Cao Weiguo's senior brother.

Silly Zhu returning early will affect Chu Jinshui the most. ===== CHAPTER 241 =====
