Chapter 75

At mealtime, workers poured into the cafeteria like a tide.

Since Cao Weiguo took charge of the kitchen, the quality of the food had improved significantly.

And Cao Weiguo required that when serving food, it must be full and sufficient.

This made many workers who didn't eat in the cafeteria before start eating in the cafeteria.

The workers enjoyed the benefits and naturally praised Cao Weiguo.

Factory Director Yang, who returned from a business trip, also came to the cafeteria to get food and heard the workers' praise for Cao Weiguo.

He thought to himself: Cao Weiguo is young, but his work ability is very strong.

It's a pity that this person was not promoted by him.

In the afternoon, Cao Weiguo was writing an essay praising labor in his office.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Please come in!"

The cafeteria director pushed the door and entered, looking at Cao Weiguo with a smile.

"Weiguo, tell you a piece of good news. Factory Director Li has been worried about ingredients recently, so I recommended you to Factory Director Li."

The cafeteria director said with a smile, "This is a good opportunity; you must perform well. If you can help Factory Director Li solve the problem, your future promotion will be much simpler."

Hearing the cafeteria director's words, Cao Weiguo was a bit surprised, and his brain operated rapidly.

He didn't lack ingredients, but "the source is unknown!"

He was afraid of being accused of "speculation" and "reselling materials."

Cao Weiguo hesitated and said, "What ingredients does Factory Director Li need?"

The cafeteria director said, "You also know that the factory director often needs to entertain leaders from various units, so naturally, there can't be a lack of meat in the dishes."

Cao Weiguo smiled bitterly: "Director, you truly found a difficult problem for me. Meat is not easy to find in this era."

The cafeteria director smiled and said, "Weiguo, young people shouldn't be afraid of difficulties. Don't dawdle; Factory Director Li is waiting for you."

When things came to a head, if he couldn't hide, he could only face it head-on.

"Factory Director!"

"Weiguo is here, please sit down."

Walking into the office, Factory Director Li was full of smiles.

Factory Director Li got straight to the point: "Weiguo, I heard from Old Zhao that you can get chicken and mutton."

Cao Weiguo smiled and said, "I have some friends in the countryside who can occasionally exchange some things from the villagers. If you need anything, I will definitely find a way to get it for you."

Factory Director Li said happily, "Hmm, Weiguo's work enthusiasm is very high, which is very worthy of praise."

Seeing Cao Weiguo being so cooperative, Factory Director Li smiled and stated his needs.

"Weiguo, these ingredients are related to the operation and development of the entire factory."

"I entrusted this matter to you, which shows the organization's trust in you; you must seize the opportunity."

"Only by doing a good job will the organization never treat you unfairly."

Cao Weiguo's forehead began to sweat, and he had an expression of being ready to sacrifice himself: "Thank you, Factory Director and the organization for your trust; I will definitely go all out."

Factory Director Li nodded happily: "Good, young people have responsibility and drive. That's it for today. If you have anything in the future, you can come directly to me. You can go to the personnel director to get the letter of introduction for the countryside at any time. You must believe in the organization and believe in the leaders."

Cao Weiguo returned to his office covered in sweat.

Leaning on the chair, Cao Weiguo let out a long sigh of relief.

Factory Director Li wanted quite a few things, but for him, it was not a problem.

Although the number of poultry and livestock in the portable farm was not very large, as long as they were not wiped out all at once, they could multiply and be inexhaustible.

And in the future, selling ingredients to the steel rolling mill would have Factory Director Li's endorsement.

Even if someone reported it, Factory Director Li would come forward.

Holding the steel rolling mill's letter of introduction, he was working for the factory and purchasing materials for the factory.

The key was that this Factory Director Li was very powerful.

During the upcoming ten-year movement period, he would defeat Factory Director Yang and seize the power of the steel rolling mill.

After the ten-year movement ended, he would still be successful and eventually become a big boss.

It's good to enjoy the shade under a big tree!

No matter what Factory Director Li's character was, Cao Weiguo would lean toward him.

Not seeking to be successful, just seeking to live a stable life.

After work, Cao Weiguo went to the vegetable market to buy some seasonings.

On the way home, he walked into a remote alley and took out a piece of high-quality pork belly.

When Cao Weiguo pushed his bicycle back to the courtyard, it immediately attracted the attention of the neighbors.

"This Cao Weiguo is truly young and doesn't know how to live."

"Just got married, and he threw away all his previous frugality to the ends of the earth."

"Just married a wife and eats meat all day long."

"Even a landlord can't afford to squander like this."

Looking enviously at the meat hanging on Cao Weiguo's bicycle handle, the neighbors whispered and discussed.

The Third Aunt said to the Third Uncle, "This Cao Weiguo is truly good to his wife."

The Third Uncle curled his lips: "Newlyweds are in the midst of honey and oil; when the freshness passes, who knows what it will be like."

Jia Zhangshi's eyes turned red when she saw the pork belly, and she ran over to stop Cao Weiguo.

"Weiguo, this pork belly of yours is truly good; can you share a piece with my family?"

Cao Weiguo said with a cold face: "If you want to eat meat, go buy it yourself. This meat of mine didn't come from a strong wind."

Jia Zhangshi shouted angrily: "Your family eats big fish and meat every day; can't you help out a neighbor?"

Cao Weiguo snorted coldly: "The meat my family eats is bought with my salary; what does it have to do with you."

Not wanting to waste words with the old hag, Cao Weiguo pushed his bicycle and took a detour.

Jia Zhangshi cursed angrily: "Cao Weiguo, you only care about yourself eating big fish and meat, and you are indifferent to seeing your neighbors starve to death; you are just a beast with a heart of iron."

The Eldest Aunt felt disgusted looking at Jia Zhangshi, who was acting wildly and cursing.

Others live well based on their own abilities; why must they help you?

Qin Huairu looked at the Cao family enviously; they lived in the same courtyard but seemed to live in two different worlds.

"Yulan, I'm back."

Cao Weiguo pushed his bicycle to the door and shouted.

In the past, he didn't have any special feelings about coming home.

Anyway, coming home was also alone; there was no difference between early and late.

Coming home was also alone, cooking, eating, and sleeping.

The only activity and fun was to go to the farm to walk around.

Now it's different; he has expectations about coming home.

The reason is that there is an extra wife waiting for him at home.

Hearing the sound, Song Yulan ran out happily: "Off work?"

But when she saw the meat on the bicycle handle, she was a bit angry in her heart: "Why did you buy meat again?"

She also likes to eat meat!

But meat is too expensive!

A catty of meat can be exchanged for more than ten catties of corn flour, enough for two people to eat for several days.

In the countryside, it would be very luxurious to eat corn buns made of all corn flour at home.

Eating meat can only wait until the New Year, when the whole family of several people cuts a small strip.

Being able to taste some meat is satisfying.

The big fish and meat at the wedding banquet had already caused heated discussions in the village.

I don't know how many people were envious and jealous, and how many old people were nagging about extravagance and squandering.

Her parents also warned her to be diligent and thrifty in managing the household and not to be greedy for enjoyment.

No matter how big the family business is, one must calculate carefully when living.

So as soon as she saw Cao Weiguo buying meat back, Song Yulan was suddenly angry.

Spending money so lavishly, what will happen to the future life?

Seeing his wife's face change, Cao Weiguo said hurriedly: "Wife, isn't it that I feel sorry for you? I want to nourish your body. I guarantee that today is the last time I buy meat this week."
