Transmigrating Through the Heavens: Starting with the Silly Pillar of the Courtyard

Chapter 27 In charge of the guesthouse



Chapter 27 In charge of the guesthouse

If Director Liu of the original guesthouse hadn't already resigned himself to his fate and known that he wouldn't stay at the steel rolling mill for long, he probably wouldn't have welcomed He Yuzhu.

Knowing that he wouldn't be at the steel rolling mill for long, Director Liu was particularly cooperative.

Otherwise, He Yuzhu and Director Liu would inevitably have to engage in a power struggle.

No one will give up their rights, no matter how small.

Liu Haizhong was extremely enthusiastic about becoming an official. He just couldn't find the right path; otherwise, he would have been overjoyed.

Now, of course, it's not necessary. Once the public-private partnership ends, He Yuzhu will still be in charge of this place.

This way, He Yuzhu can relax, and the leaders won't have to worry.

Let He Yuzhu concurrently serve as the director of the guesthouse for now, and then he can be officially appointed when he reaches the required rank.

His main task was to prepare special meals for guests; he only took care of other work at the guesthouse as a side job.

"Master He, that's roughly the situation. Actually, even though your salary has decreased by 200,000, once you're promoted, your salary will quickly increase back up."

The key issue is that the guesthouse won't send anyone else to take charge afterward. Master He, you certainly don't want to have another superior overseeing you, right?

Deputy Team Leader Yang, the future Factory Director Yang, explained the reasoning to He Yuzhu with an embarrassed expression.

He Yuzhu said with a troubled and conflicted expression.

"Okay, I just feel a connection with everyone. Otherwise, I could easily earn a million dollars a month if I went back to Fengzeyuan now."

He Yuzhu's words were somewhat affected, but some things simply couldn't be left unsaid. If you don't voice your grievances, others will assume you're taking advantage of them.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease, and the same applies to work. You must express your opinions when necessary.

Even if this matter is beneficial to He Yuzhu in the future, he is currently losing 200,000 yuan in salary every month.

This is an apprentice's salary, a loss of 2.4 million yuan a year. If He Yuzhu appears happy, then Deputy Team Leader Yang and the others will be worried.

He Yuzhu was thinking about this, which is why he appeared so conflicted and troubled. This kind of behavior would make others believe that he had indeed considered many things.

He Yuzhu doesn't think he's any smarter than people in this era just because he's transmigrated. Strictly speaking, he's a complete novice when it comes to his career.

They're all seasoned veterans who've weathered many storms, and it's only because his current body is truly only seventeen years old that he can fool everyone else.

Deputy Team Leader Yang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that He Yuzhu agreed to stay and was also willing to accept a pay cut.

"I certainly believe that, but don't we have rules?"

Deputy Team Leader Yang has now also learned about the salary and benefits offered by other restaurants.

He used to wonder how a chef could earn such a high salary? But after learning about the salaries at other restaurants, he realized that there really is a difference between a chef and a master chef with high culinary skills.

Of course, Deputy Team Leader Yang didn't think much of He Yuzhu either. In his view, this kind of eating and drinking was too detrimental to everyone's enthusiasm.

It was only because the other leaders in the work group insisted that he felt that as long as the food was cooked, there was meat and vegetables, and white flour steamed buns, that was a good life.

The current Deputy Team Leader Yang hasn't evolved yet; in the future, he'll personally take Sha Zhu and Xu Damao to the homes of high-ranking leaders to do private work.

Even then, Deputy Team Leader Yang didn't really value Sha Zhu. Aside from promising to let him take leftovers home, he didn't offer him any other benefits.

One reason for this is that Sha Zhu has a foul mouth, but the main reason is that Deputy Team Leader Yang doesn't know how to win over his subordinates.

Deputy Team Leader Yang always had a strange confidence that he could get others to cooperate with him because of his personal charisma.

So some people may seem like good people, but they might not actually be. Li Huaide knew he wasn't a good person, yet his subordinates still supported him. This was because Li Huaide genuinely offered benefits and truly delivered on his promises when paid.

If He Yuzhu knew what Deputy Team Leader Yang was thinking, he would definitely spit in his face.

Why is Sha Zhu so arrogant in the story? It's because of the courage given to him by Director Yang.

Factory Director Yang personally took Sha Zhu and Xu Damao to serve at the home of a high-ranking official. It was all just to curry favor with the leader; Factory Director Yang was simply adept at using public resources for his own purposes.

On the contrary, he is not as straightforward as Deputy Factory Director Li.

He Yuzhu accepted the working group's proposal and his salary was reduced from one million to eight hundred thousand, effective immediately.

This consists of two parts: a staff member's salary of 250,000 and a fifth-level chef's salary of 550,000.

No one outside knew about this. When He Yuzhu first started working at the steel rolling mill, he announced a salary of one million yuan in the courtyard house.

Now, He Yuzhu no longer needs to explain to everyone why his salary was reduced from one million to eight hundred thousand.

However, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Xu Fugui were all very upset after learning that He Yuzhu was now the director of the guesthouse.

Liu Haizhong was so angry that he smashed several plates at home, and Liu Guangtian was beaten for the first time.

He Yuzhu was unaware of his promotion, and the scene of him hitting a child with bangs had already begun.

Liu Haizhong is always thinking about how to become an official, even though he's not even a group leader. He Yuzhu actually became the director of the guesthouse; where does that leave him with all his embarrassment?

In any case, Liu Haizhong in the courtyard has been avoiding He Yuzhu lately, afraid of being ridiculed by him.

Xu Damao was furious. He no longer goes to school or to the steel mill to learn how to project movies.

He Yuzhu, that fool, became the manager of the guesthouse. Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew that there was a gap between him and He Yuzhu.

Xu Damao started begging Xu Fugui to let him work at the steel rolling mill. He thought that he was so smart that he might become a leader there.

Apart from a few people in the courtyard adding their own drama to the story, no one else noticed He Yuzhu.

In short, the matter was resolved smoothly. In fact, the steel rolling mill is currently dealing with a great deal of complex and multifaceted issues.

The decision on whether to retain or dismiss certain key positions is made in daily meetings by the working group.

While these figures may only appear as numbers on a document, their implementation will impact many families.

He Yuzhu would also prepare some late-night snacks for everyone after get off work, so that they could have something to eat while they worked overtime at night.

The public-private partnership of the steel rolling mill was in full swing, and He Yuzhu was doing a great job at the guesthouse.

Because they weren't in the main cafeteria, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Jia Dongxu couldn't see He Yuzhu.

Although they all work in a steel rolling mill, the workshop and the office building have no overlap.

In particular, the working hours at the guesthouse are different from those in the workshop.

Many workers only take a shower after get off work, and each time it takes half an hour or an hour.

The staff at the guesthouse start work an hour later than those in the workshop, so naturally they also finish get off work an hour later.

For example, steel mill workers start work promptly at 8:00 AM, while those at the guesthouse start at 9:00 AM.

The workers finish get off work at 6 PM, while the guesthouse closes at 7 PM.

Once He Yuzhu had sorted out his work, things became much simpler.

Every morning, I get up from my bedroom and go out to feed the livestock.

Pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, and corn kernels are also sprinkled into the pond regularly.

Go to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables. The space is like spring all year round. Whether it's tomatoes, cucumbers, green vegetables, peppers, or peanuts, they can basically be harvested twice a year.

Wheat and corn are simple to grow; with the help of small machinery, harvesting and planting are easy.

I spend a few hours working in the space every day, then sleep for two hours before going out to start my day's work.

When He Yuzhu came out of the space, he opened the bedroom door.

They went downstairs to the kitchen to make breakfast, and He Yushui would follow them to the bathroom to wash up. Then the two of them went to the living room to eat breakfast.

After dinner, He Yushui, Zhang Panpan, and Xu Xiaoling went to school together.

He Yuzhu would tidy up his house for a while, and then ride his bicycle to the steel rolling mill around nine o'clock.

When he arrived at the steel rolling mill's guesthouse, he first toured a few departments. If there were no problems, he went to the director's office to drink tea and read the newspaper.

Guo Wei, Lu Yi, and Liu Lan are now familiar with their daily work.

I went to the kitchen at nine o'clock and first went to the storeroom to get the ingredients.

Then the three of them started picking, washing, chopping, and steaming vegetables.

He Yuzhu wouldn't appear in the small kitchen until 11 o'clock.

Usually, two large pots of stir-fried vegetables are cooked, and the steamed buns are also prepared in portions for fifty people.

A bowl of hot and sour egg drop soup is like getting an extra perk compared to the cafeteria.

The work group members came over for lunch at 12 o'clock, and the battle was basically resolved in half an hour.

Occasionally He Yuzhu would go home at noon, but usually he would take a nap in the guest room on the third floor.

The guesthouse offers convenient employee benefits, including meals and lunch breaks.

With twenty guest rooms, it's impossible for them to be fully occupied every day.

He Yuzhu himself took the lead, as did Liu Lan, Guo Wei, Lu Yi, and several people in the bathhouse, phone booth, and barbershop.

At 3 p.m., everyone resumed their work.

The process is the same as in the morning; the bathhouse needs to be cleaned in advance.

Around 5 p.m., He Yuzhu would go to the small kitchen to start cooking. Dinner would be served at 6 p.m., and there would be no entertaining duties. He Yuzhu would then ride his bicycle home at 7 p.m.

Liu Lan, Guo Wei, and Lu Yi were responsible for the finishing touches.

The work at the steel rolling mill was definitely less strenuous than at Fengzeyuan, and He Yuzhu was particularly satisfied with this relaxed atmosphere.

Especially since they get one day off each week, He Yuzhu can sleep in and direct He Yushui to do a thorough cleaning of the house.

After He Daqing left, everyone in the courtyard thought the He family was finished. Some of the more cunning ones even planned to wait until He Yuzhu couldn't hold on any longer so they could plot to take over his house.

As a result, He Yuzhu, a teenager, managed to raise his younger sister on his own and live a better life than anyone else.

In particular, Xu Fugui was the first to discover that He Yuzhu had become the head of the steel rolling mill's guesthouse.

When the news reached the courtyard, it made all the birds extremely envious.

The thought that He Yuzhu was only eighteen years old and already a leader, even though the guesthouse only had about ten people, was disheartening. There wasn't a single official in the courtyard, and He Yuzhu was now the first one to hold that position.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong are both master craftsmen in the workshop and earn a decent salary, yet they are not even team leaders.
