Chapter 149 Deputy Director of the Canteen
A few days passed peacefully, and a week later, the new deputy director of the cafeteria finally came to report.
At noon that day, before dinner started, Director Zhao came in with a young man talking and laughing.
Director Zhao: "Put your work aside for a moment and come over here."
Everyone stopped what they were doing and gathered around Director Zhao and the young man, waiting for Director Zhao to speak.
Director Zhao: "Let me introduce to you. The person next to me is Comrade Wu Peng, the new deputy director of our canteen. From now on, he will be responsible for our small kitchen and be responsible to me. Everyone is welcome."
He Yuzhu and Master Song looked at each other and understood what the other party meant. This Wu Peng can do it! As soon as I arrived, I took over the small kitchen from Director Zhao.
Although everyone was a little dissatisfied with such a young Wu Peng becoming the deputy director. But still to give Director Zhao face, everyone applauded and welcomed him.
When the applause stopped, Director Zhao began to introduce the people in the kitchen to Wu Peng.
"This is the senior chef of our canteen, Master Song. Master Song has been working in our canteen for more than 10 years. He knows everything in the canteen. If you don't understand anything at work, you can ask Master Song." Director Zhao pointed at Master Song and introduced him to Wu Peng.
"Okay, director. Master Song, I will ask you to take more care of me in the future." Wu Peng shook hands with Master Song.
Master Song responded with a smile: "Where. From now on, I have to ask Deputy Director Wu to give more guidance on my work."
"This is Master He. Although Master He is young, he is only a few years older than you. But he is the best in our canteen. He is proficient in many cuisines and is a third-level chef." Director Zhao pointed at He Yuzhu and introduced.
"Master He, I heard Uncle Li say before that there is a chef in our cafeteria who is very good at cooking. The food is delicious. I have to trouble Master He to make a few dishes. I have to try Master He. Excellent craftsmanship." Wu Peng praised.
He Yuzhu: "Easy to say, easy to say."
Afterwards, Director Zhao introduced the other people in the kitchen. Wu Peng just nodded to the others, indicating that they knew each other.
"Okay. It's time for dinner. Let's get going." After Director Zhao introduced everyone, he dismissed everyone: "Comrade Wu, let me take you to see your office."
Wu Peng: "Okay. Director Zhao."
Director Zhao took Wu Peng out of the kitchen and went to see the office. People in the kitchen started talking when they saw them leaving.
He Yuzhu: "Master Song, what's the situation now? These two people are getting along well, talking and laughing. Director Zhao doesn't look like he's unhappy about having his power taken away?"
Master Song: "What? You still want them to fight? Director Zhao still has this in the city. Alas! One has controlled the cafeteria for many years, and the other, although young, has a deputy director in charge behind him. I hope they can maintain the relationship. We are so harmonious now, so don’t quarrel. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the two of us."
Indeed, when the superiors fight, the people below are in trouble. But that's none of your business. I am proficient in many cuisines and have the skills to do it. As long as I don't take sides or get involved, no matter who wins, I won't reject a chef. It's just that you don't get the benefits.
He Yuzhu: "I hope they both are well."
After speaking, He Yuzhu continued cooking, and Master Song directed others to put the prepared dishes in front.
At noon, just after dinner, Wu Peng came to the kitchen, this time without Director Zhao. As soon as he came in, he greeted He Yuzhu and Master Song and dispersed the smoke: "Master Song, Master He."
He Yuzhu and Master Song took the cigarette: "Director Wu."
Wu Peng: "You are busy, don't worry about me. I just came over to take a look. Get familiar with the work."
Master Song: "Hey. The food is ready, so we two cooks don't have anything to do. Just have someone else to prepare the food."
At this time, people who were eating came in one after another. The three of them stood there, watching the others serving food to the people who came to eat, without making a sound.
After watching for a while, He Yuzhu broke the silence: "Director Wu, don't you want to go to dinner?"
Wu Peng: "You haven't eaten either, right?"
He Yuzhu: "Let's wait for everyone to finish their work and eat together."
Wu Peng: "I heard that the food in the back kitchen is better than the food in the front. I will follow you to see it later and eat together."
What's the meaning? Are you looking for trouble right now? Or simply want to eat something good? But no matter what his thoughts were, he was going to be disappointed. There was no banquet at noon today, so everyone in the kitchen ate the same food as everyone else, except that it was set aside in advance, and at most it was just one or two more slices of meat.
Seeing that He Yuzhu didn't speak, Master Song took over: "Where? These are all rumors. We eat the same as everyone else. Since Director Wu wants to eat with us, then I will have someone prepare food for Director Wu. I don't know What does the director eat?"
Wu Peng: "It doesn't matter. Just watch and fight."
Master Song called his apprentice Zhao Jing and asked her to fetch food for Wu Peng.
Waiting for everyone to finish their work and prepare to eat, they felt a little uncomfortable looking at the extra deputy director who had just arrived today. They took their lunch boxes and found seats to eat, keeping far away from the deputy director.
Wu Peng carried his own rice and walked next to He Yuzhu and Master Song. He took a look at the food in their lunch boxes. It was indeed the same as everyone else's: "It's really the same? I still thought I could eat with you." , can we improve the food."
He Yuzhu: "That disappoints you."
After eating, Wu Peng returned to his office. He Yuzhu and Master Song came to the back door of the kitchen to smoke.
He Yuzhu: "Master Song, you are well-informed. Tell me, what is Wu Peng doing? How should we deal with it?"
Master Song: "The news I heard is that Wu Peng was taken care of by his father's comrades since he was a child. He took good care of him and did not suffer much. He is not a scheming person."
He Yuzhu: "What's going on at noon? He just wants to eat well? Is your information accurate?"
Master Song: "None of the gossip is 100% accurate. Let's take a look."
He Yuzhu: "What's going on, Director Zhao? Wu Peng only showed up when he came, and then he didn't show up during dinner. Are you letting it go completely? Or is there something else you want to do?"
Before Master Song could speak, He Yuzhu continued: "Forget it, no more guessing. These intrigues are the most annoying. Just do what you love. The worst I can do is find another place to do it." After saying that, He Yuzhu irritably put away the cigarette butt. Throwing it to the ground, stamping it out, turned around and went back to the kitchen to rest.
Master Song watched He Yuzhu leave, put out his cigarette butt, and followed him into the kitchen.
In the afternoon, until after get off work, not only Director Zhao did not show up, but Wu Peng also did not show up.
