Siheyuan: Originally I just wanted to be a little transparent

Chapter 139 Encounter with Lou Bancheng

After listening to what Director Yang relayed, Lin Shengli thought for a while and said, "Okay Director Yang, please thank Director Fang for me first, and you can do it tonight."

After hearing Lin Shengli's affirmative reply, Director Yang smiled and said, "Okay, then Shengli, you go ahead and get busy. I'll give Director Fang a call back."

"When it's time to get off work, I'll ask the driver to pick you up at the door of the workshop, and we'll go there together in the evening."

"Okay." After Lin Shengli said this, he went back to the workshop to work.

Although Lin Shengli had no intention of getting close to Minister Fang, Minister Fang had always treated him well. Lin Shengli couldn't treat others' kindness. It was too unreasonable.

Such a big leader, now Corporal Li Xian, is just treating you, a deputy director, to a meal. Why, you don’t even give me this little face!
Isn't it just a meal? What's more? As for whether you are free in the evening.

You have to do this work, and you also have to eat. Only by eating well can you do your job better!
Even though Lin Shengli seems to have been working more or less every day for a while these days.

But this is only limited to him who leaves late. For all project members, Lin Shengli makes them come to get off work on time.

It was said that he worked overtime, but it was actually because Lin Shengli was too lazy to go back to cook. If he left a little later, the factory would be in charge of the food.

After dinner, I rested in a cubicle in the workshop for a while, read a book, and then went home to sleep. Otherwise, there would be nothing to do if I didn't go back so early.

In his current capacity, Lin Shengli ate in a special canteen. Most of the time at noon, he was with Director Yuan, and occasionally with other factory leaders.

As long as he stayed after work in the afternoon, someone would go to the canteen to inform Silly Zhu to stay and cook for Lin Shengli. Lin Shengli would usually eat dinner with Silly Zhu.

Silly Zhu has been avoiding the Jia family and Qin Huairu from time to time recently. Not only can he go back later, but he can also enjoy Lin Shengli's meal every day, which he never tires of!

More importantly, although Shazhu's cooking skills are pretty good, he can basically cook Sichuan cuisine and Tan's cuisine (also known as palace cuisine), and there is still a lack of variety!
The key is that apart from Sichuan cuisine, even in the small canteen in the factory, Silly Zhu’s Tan family cooking skills don’t have many opportunities to show off!

And Lin Shengli is a foodie himself, so it’s impossible for him to lose!

So, Lin Shengli hand-copied many recipes from the eight major cuisines to Shazhu.

At this time, Sha Zhu was even more happy. The small stove he gave Lin Shengli was cooked in different ways every day, and Sha Zhu's cooking skills were also improving visibly.

Silly Zhu was happy doing it, and Lin Shengli was also happy eating. It was another win-win situation!
After get off work, Lin Shengli took Director Yang's jeep and came to the place where Director Fang lived.

When Lin Shengli and Director Yang arrived at the door, they saw Sha Zhu and Xu Damao standing at the door waiting.

When Lin Shengli came, he saw these two irresponsible people exchanging words with each other from time to time.

Minister Fang's secretary was at the gate early to welcome Lin Shengli's arrival. This was also what Minister Fang specifically instructed.

After seeing Lin Shengli and Factory Director Yang get off the car, Minister Fang's secretary hurriedly greeted them and led Lin Shengli and his party into Minister Fang's home.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Minister Fang had stood up and extended his hand to greet him. Lin Shengli saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Minister Fang's hand.

"Shengli, we meet again," Minister Fang was the first to say with a smile.
Lin Shengli also smiled and said, "Hello, Minister Fang!" Hearing Lin Shengli's call, Minister Fang continued to smile and said, "Shengli, this is at home, you don't have to be so polite, just call me Uncle Fang."

Seeing that Minister Fang had said so, Lin Shengli could only follow the trend and said: "Hello, Uncle Fang."

Lin Shengli couldn't figure out why Minister Fang was so enthusiastic about him. This change in title meant more than just appreciation!
When they heard such a cordial address between Director Fang and Lin Shengli, Factory Director Yang and a middle-aged and elderly man behind Director Fang both had their eyes flashed, thoughtfully!
When Lin Shengli entered the room just now, he saw that in addition to Minister Fang, there was also a middle-aged and elderly man standing behind Minister Fang, about 50 years old.

As soon as Lin Shengli entered the room, he noticed that this middle-aged and elderly man was staring at him. Lin Shengli thought that this was Minister Fang's family, or a friend.

After Minister Fang greeted everyone, he turned slightly and introduced the middle-aged and elderly man behind him to Lin Shengli.

"Shengli, this is Director Lou from your steel rolling mill. You are both from the steel rolling mill. Do you recognize him?"

I heard that this man's surname was Lou and he was the director of the steel rolling mill. He was Lou Xiao'e's father, nicknamed Lou Bancheng.

Lin Shengli really didn't expect to see Director Lou at Minister Fang's home today.

It seems that Director Lou’s connections are good!

Apart from anything else, at least being able to appear at Minister Fang's home and hosting a banquet for him, Lin Shengli, shows that Director Lou's energy should not be underestimated!

"Hello, Director Lou." Lin Shengli extended his hand and shook hands with Director Lou.

Director Lou also smiled and said: "Hello, Director Lin, to be honest, we are a family, and our relationship is very close, but this is the first time we have met."

After hearing that Director Lou said that he was very close to Lin Shengli, Minister Fang asked: "Director Lou, if you want to say that you are a family, I know this. One is the director of the steel rolling mill, and the other is the director of the steel rolling mill. It is indeed okay. We are said to be a family, but the relationship is very close, so how can we say this?”

Hearing Minister Fang's question, Director Lou smiled and replied: "Minister Fang, you don't know this. Not only are Director Lin and I are colleagues, you also know that I have a daughter who is married to a steel rolling mill. Workers, Director Lin and my son-in-law are also colleagues in the steel rolling mill."

"Moreover, my daughter and son-in-law and Factory Director Lin live in the same courtyard, so aren't they very close to each other!"

Hearing what Director Lou said, Minister Fang smiled and said, "In that case, they are indeed quite close. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors!"

"Everyone, please stop standing. Come and sit. Come to Shengli and sit here." Minister Fang pointed to a seat very close to him and said.

After everyone sat down and chatted for a while, Director Lou stood up and left.

Minister Fang gave Director Lou a symbolic try to retain him. Director Lou was very self-aware and did not take the leader's kind words seriously. He said goodbye to everyone politely and left Minister Fang's house.

Seeing Director Lou leave, Lin Shengli now feels that his initial understanding of Director Lou may have been wrong.

Director Lou should have come to see Director Fang for something, and it just happened to be a meeting with him. Moreover, Director Fang obviously had no intention of staying with Director Lou for dinner. From this point of view, the relationship between Director Lou and Director Fang should not be close. So close.
