Siheyuan: I just came across and wanted to chase me away

Chapter 803 Gu Nan will be removed from the position of canteen director

Yi Zhonghai looked at He Yuzhu blankly, frowning and saying, "Zhuzi, what are you talking about here? I didn't hear anything. What did you hear? Don't keep me in suspense."

He Yuzhu smiled smugly and said, "I heard that Gu Nan offended Deputy Director Li and has now been removed from his position as canteen director. Who do you think will be the next canteen director?"

Yi Zhonghai glanced at He Yuzhu and said disapprovingly, "What does this have to do with you? After all, there's still Gu Nan's apprentice, Zhong Yi. It's definitely not your turn. As Gu Nan's apprentice, isn't it natural for Zhong Yi to take over his master's position?"

He Yuzhu, however, disagreed. A confident smile still hung on his face as he said, "That's not necessarily true, Master Yi. Think about it, Zhong Yi is Gu Nan's apprentice. This time, it was Gu Nan who offended Deputy Director Li. Would Deputy Director Li easily hand over the position of canteen director to Gu Nan's apprentice? Definitely not. If this matter isn't handled properly, Zhong Yi might also be implicated."

After listening to He Yuzhu's analysis, Yi Zhonghai felt that what he said seemed to make some sense. In this matter, Gu Nan had indeed offended Deputy Director Li. In this case, the person who was most likely to benefit from it might really be He Yuzhu. Yi Zhonghai looked at He Yuzhu with some doubts and said, "Zhuzi, are you saying that the position of canteen director will fall on you? Why do I feel that this is unlikely? The position of canteen director is not so easy to get."

He Yuzhu smiled and said confidently, "I've always been a friend of Deputy Director Li, Uncle Yi. Even if I can't become the canteen director, with my relationship with Deputy Director Li, I should have no problem becoming the deputy canteen director. Then, my salary will increase significantly."

In fact, the salary increase was not what He Yuzhu cared about most. What He Yuzhu cared about most was that if Gu Nan was no longer in the kitchen, no one would target him anymore. This was the most important thing to him.

During this period, He Yuzhu had been targeted by Gu Nan. Whether he was at work, working in the cafeteria, or returning home from get off work, he felt as if a small shadow was shrouding his heart, making everything he did unhappy. Now that he heard that Gu Nan was no longer the cafeteria director, he seemed to see hope of getting rid of this shadow, and he was overjoyed.

As time went on, more and more people gathered, and the whole place gradually became lively, with noisy voices interweaving together. He Yuzhu stood in the crowd, his face revealing an expression of excitement that could not be suppressed.

In his mind, once Gu Nan was transferred, no one would be able to hinder him anymore. Those days of oppression would soon be over, and good times seemed to be just around the corner. He kept rubbing his hands, his eyes occasionally glancing in Gu Nan's direction, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly, as if he could already see himself calling the shots in the cafeteria.

Gu Nan came to the side slowly. He had actually heard the conversation between He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai a long time ago. After hearing what He Yuzhu said, he knew that He Yuzhu was afraid that his presence in the cafeteria would affect his interests, so he was so eager for him to be transferred.

However, Gu Nan didn't take it to heart. He knew that as long as Zhong Yi was still in the kitchen, He Yuzhu would never be able to live a comfortable life. Zhong Yi was an upright person who worked seriously and would never let He Yuzhu do whatever he wanted. This was like a sword hanging high above, restraining He Yuzhu's behavior at all times.

Meanwhile, Deputy Director Li was completely unaware of what was about to happen. Confused and uneasy, he thought, the factory-wide meeting was about to begin, and as the deputy director, he felt completely clueless about what was going on. So, he decided to go directly to Director Yang's office to get some clarification.

Deputy Director Li arrived at Director Yang's office door and, without even waiting for an answer, pushed it open and walked in. He figured that since he and Director Yang had already fallen out, there was nothing to worry about. He was also certain Director Yang wouldn't dare fire him; after all, he had someone behind him, and Director Yang would still be wary.

Director Yang was sitting at his desk, processing documents, when he was startled by the sudden sound of the door opening. Anger welled up in him. Already upset, he was now furiously confronted by Deputy Director Li's rude intrusion. He frowned, glaring at him unpleasantly. "Deputy Director Li, what do you want from me?" Director Yang's eyes betrayed a hint of dissatisfaction and annoyance.

Deputy Director Li felt a little frightened when he saw Director Yang's expression, but he still said, "Director, I know that I was wrong some time ago. I didn't consider some things carefully enough, and I apologize to you. But I don't know why you held this factory-wide meeting? As the deputy director, I should know." Deputy Director Li tried his best to sound sincere, but he was very nervous inside, and had a bad premonition.

Director Yang looked at Deputy Director Li and didn't intend to hide anything anymore. He said bluntly: "This meeting is for your matter. What else could it be for? You should know clearly what you have done." Director Yang stared at Deputy Director Li, as if he wanted to see through him.

Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Li's face turned pale. His heart skipped a beat, realizing something was amiss. He quickly put on a smile and said, "Director, could you please not be so drastic about this? We're all colleagues, and we'll see each other every day. It's best not to bring this up at the meeting. Leave me a way out, and save some face for our factory." Deputy Director Li tried to persuade Director Yang to change his mind. If he were to reveal his story at a factory-wide meeting, his reputation and status would be severely impacted.

Director Yang sneered and said, "That won't do. The employees of the steel rolling mill have the right to know. Naturally, they want to know what you were doing some time ago. Besides, this is not my request. It was the people above who asked to make this matter public. I have no choice but to do it." Director Yang spread his hands, looking helpless, but there was a hint of determination in his eyes, indicating that there was no room for negotiation on this matter.

Deputy Director Li knew clearly that Director Yang was deliberately embarrassing him, trying to suppress him. However, he suppressed his anger and looked at Director Yang, trying to keep his tone calm. "Director, we will be working together in the factory from now on. We will see each other every day. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to do this?"
