Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

Chapter 472 Expansion

The first month of the year will soon be over, and the cold wind is still blowing through the city, but the tail of winter is about to fade away.

A few days after officially starting work at the research institute, He Yuzhu met Brother Chen in the cafeteria.

"Brother, I see you! I've been waiting for you, and I thought you went to the south."

Brother Chen, holding a lunch box in his hand, quickened his pace as he looked at He Yuzhu who was walking towards him.

He raised his lunch box and explained with a smile.

"Zhu Zi, how could I lie to you? I was just delayed at home for a while.

I just started working this morning and came to the cafeteria to eat at noon."

He Yuzhu will personally cook the banquet in the cafeteria depending on who is coming.

However, he would try the big pot dishes at the food window every now and then.

The term "reception dinner" is just a nice way of saying it, but in reality it is just special treatment and privileges.

The source of overeating and spending money under the guise of fame starts from here.

If it is the same dish as the big pot dish, but it is cooked separately in a small stove, there is nothing wrong with it.

After all, it is used to entertain foreign guests, so we cannot lose manners.

The food cooked separately in a small stove tastes better, but it does not generate any additional consumption.

"Okay! Go get your meal first, I'll get my side dishes."

He Yuzhu knew his character, and he would definitely not accept if he was asked to make a separate portion for him.

He is the oldest, but is deeply influenced by Chief Chen.

The style of being down-to-earth and working diligently cannot be easily changed.

Such a person would only make He Yuzhu admire him, but he would not think of changing him.

A homemade side dish is not difficult to make, and people will naturally accept this good intention.

As expected, Brother Chen nodded and agreed without refusing: “Okay, the side dishes you made are good.

I used to take a lot of it away, but it’s been a few years since I’ve had a good taste of it.

Judging from your cooking skills, I think the taste will be even better. I am looking forward to it.”

He Yuzhu also felt a slight difference, as if he had become more flexible than before.

Not only did he not refuse as expected, he also started by praising me, then talked about the past, and finally talked about the present.

"Brother, you have become much more experienced. Before, you could only say thank you."

He joked and waved his hand, "Go and get in line! There will be more people later."

Find a table and sit down first, I'll be right back!"

Brother Chen nodded, waved goodbye, and turned to go to the food window.

As time passed into midsummer, the institute underwent new changes.

The arrival of Brother Chen at the beginning of the year was just a signal, and another group of people followed closely.

After the spring, a construction team moved into the campus and started building a new dormitory building.

Now two new dormitory buildings have been put into use, and a new laboratory building has been added.

The newly assigned college graduates and transferred key personnel have already filled the dormitory building.

Changes were made to the canteen, the kitchen was expanded, and the number of people doubled.

The second floor that was left over from the initial construction was officially added on and turned into a two-story cafeteria.

Early in the morning, He Yuzhu, as usual, took a walk around the kitchen, but found nothing wrong, so he went back.

As soon as I walked into the cafeteria office area next to the cold storage, I was stopped.

"Director, someone from the Logistics Department has come to inform you that Section Chief Ding wants to see you over for something."

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded, saying kindly, "Okay, I'll go right away. Thank you very much."

"Director, you're welcome."

He turned around and went out again. It was not hot outside at the moment, so he walked slowly all the way to the Logistics Department.

He Yuzhu stood in front of the door, glanced at the wooden sign on the door frame, and walked in.

"Director He is here! Section Chief Ding is waiting for you inside!"

Hearing the enthusiastic greeting, He Yuzhu looked in the direction of the voice and nodded politely in response.

After a few steps, he arrived at the office door, knocked on it and pushed it open.

With a soft "bang" sound, the door was closed, isolating the inside and outside spaces.

"Brother, you called me over early this morning, what do you want to arrange?

Could it be that another senior leader is coming to inspect our hospital and has appointed me to be in charge of the banquet?"

Ding Qingfeng just smiled back, holding a teacup in one hand and raised his chin towards the sofa.

"Brother, I have made tea for you! Let's sit down and talk. There is nothing urgent, and it is not what you are talking about."

Now that the supply of logistical materials is sufficient, there will naturally be no issue of unplanned materials.

For small quantities of things, He Yuzhu doesn't need to help at all, and the Logistics Department is not there to just sit there and do nothing.

He Yuzhu thought about it for a long time but couldn't guess the intention. Seeing his smiling face, it shouldn't be bad news.

He temporarily suppressed the thought and walked to the sofa and sat down.

"Brother, the hospital has expanded recently, and I don't remember anything going wrong. What's the news? Tell me quickly."

He Yuzhu took the teacup handed to him and asked directly.

Ding Qingfeng is also a straightforward person and did not keep anyone in suspense when he heard this.

Before he even had time to sit down, he turned around and walked to the desk with a cup of tea, picked up a document and walked back.

"Brother, I won't waste my words on you. Just take a look at it yourself! It was just issued from above and delivered to me this morning."

He Yuzhu took the paper with one hand, looked down at the paper, and quickly read the contents.

Under the red-letter file name, the content is very brief, and it is an official notice to upgrade the level of the institute.

"Huh? That's it?"

He quickly finished reading the content, raised his eyes to look at Ding Qingfeng who was sitting opposite him drinking tea, and waved the notification document.

"Cough cough~"

Ding Qingfeng looked at his nonchalant actions and choked on the water due to his carelessness, starting to cough.

He quickly put down the quilt, and after calming down, his face flushed a little, and he reached out to snatch back the notice.

"My dear brother! You are still young and have great potential in the future! At my age, it would be a great thing to be able to get a higher salary."

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and realized that he was indeed too arrogant. He was rich and wouldful and didn't care about how much he was paid.

Most of them are like Ding Qingfeng, where the whole family depends on their salary to live.

"Brother, forgive me! I forgot about it because I didn't realize it right away."

Ding Qingfeng was used to his behavior and didn't mind it. Instead, he was happy to see him like this.

At least when two people are friends, they don't have to worry about being backstabbed because of money.

"Alright, alright! This time I can at least get a half-level salary increase... If I'm lucky, hehe~"

He pressed the notice document with the newspaper on the coffee table, and couldn't help laughing as he spoke.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu did not look down on him, but only respected him in his heart.

Logistics is always a place with tricks. As the responsible leader, Ding Qingfeng is so happy to see the hope of salary increase.

He is an honest person with a generous character. He does things without being ambiguous and does not do those bad things.

Suddenly, He Yuzhu's eyes were attracted by the dragging newspaper.

He didn't care what Ding Qingfeng was saying and snatched the newspaper.
