Chapter 122 Delicious Conquest Leadership, Technology Joint Center
When more than a dozen delicious dishes were served on the table, the private room was instantly filled with an enticing aroma, making all the leaders present swallow their saliva.
Those pairs of eyes were fixed on the food in front of them, with a drooling look on their faces, just like hungry wolves that had not eaten for several days, and were about to pounce on the food and feast on it.
However, the big boss smiled and said, "Don't move your chopsticks yet, wait for Xiao Li to come and we can eat together. As the saying goes, 'If the cook is not here, the food is wasted', we can't neglect our chef!"
When the others heard this, they looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering what kind of delicacies had Engineer Li made that even the big bosses looked at him differently?
However, due to Vice Minister Liu's respect, they could only sit there obediently, staring at the delicious food in front of them, and everyone couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
Just when everyone was extremely anxious, Li Yang finally arrived amidst all the eager gazes.
As soon as he entered the door, he was startled by the scene. He saw pairs of eyes staring at him. The desire and impatience in their eyes seemed as if they wanted to swallow him up.
"Leaders, please don't be polite, everyone, start eating!" Li Yang smiled awkwardly and had to bite the bullet and ask everyone to start eating. The helplessness in his tone made him sound like a young girl who was about to marry.
Secretary Zhang couldn't help but joked, "Haha, Xiao Li, you're finally here! If you hadn't come, we would have fainted from hunger! The big boss has said that no one is allowed to eat until you come back. Now the ban is finally lifted! Come on, let's all taste your cooking!"
After saying that, Secretary Zhang took the lead in picking up the chopsticks and reaching towards the plate of sweet and sour pork.
With a crisp "click" sound, a piece of tender and tasty meat was picked up into his mouth. The fragrance immediately filled his mouth, making him nod repeatedly and sigh with satisfaction.
Seeing this, other leaders also picked up their chopsticks, each of them eating a specialty dish. You picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, and I tasted a sip of soup. The whole private room was immediately filled with the sound of lips and teeth blending together, which made people's appetite increase and they were drooling.
"Oh my god, how come this braised pork and twice-cooked pork are so delicious? They are no worse than those in the restaurant!" someone exclaimed, his mouth still full of food, like a greedy little squirrel.
"That's right, I've been eating in restaurants for many years, but I've never eaten such authentic home-cooked meals. Xiao Li, your cooking skills are amazing!" Another leader couldn't help but flatter him, his eyes almost narrowed into crescents.
Even Deputy Minister Liu, who is usually the most serious, can't care less at this moment.
I saw him holding the dishes in his left hand and the rice in his right hand, his cheeks were stuffed full, just like a little hamster, and the way he ate looked so moist and delicious.
Li Yang looked around and saw that everyone was eating with gusto, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The cooking skills given by this system are quite impressive.
At the dinner table, everyone was talking and praising Li Yang's cooking skills. Phrases like "the color is attractive and the taste is unique, even Fengzeyuan can't compare to it" became common phrases during the dinner.
Listening to the constant flattery, Li Yang couldn't help but reveal a hint of pride on his face.
"Alright, stop praising Xiao Li so much, or he'll be so proud of himself." Finally, the big boss smiled and stopped everyone's praise. He wiped his mouth and said with an unsatisfied look: "We are not here to taste delicious food today, but to talk about business. Xiao Li is not only a technical genius, but also a rare culinary genius. I think you can't let him get away with it!"
When these words came out, everyone present was stunned. Secretary Zhang and Director Yang looked at each other, their hearts skipped a beat, thinking to themselves, is this Deputy Minister Liu trying to poach people again? But now in front of so many brother units, if he forcefully snatched someone away, wouldn't that be too outrageous?
As expected, Director Wang of the machinery factory immediately took over the conversation and said excitedly: "Deputy Minister Liu is right! Our factories together have tens of thousands of people. If we can invite Xiao Li to come to the factory, wouldn't it be even more powerful? Otherwise, I think it would be better to set up a joint technical center, mobilize engineers from various factories, and let Xiao Li take the lead. Isn't it great?"
"That's right, Director Wang, this is a great idea!" Director Zhao of the chemical plant also became interested and clapped his hands in approval, "If the technical forces of our several factories are combined, will we still have to worry about not being able to make a big splash? Talents like Xiao Li can't be buried! Why don't we let him take charge from tomorrow and lead everyone to work together, and we'll definitely create a new world!"
In this way, in a short while, the discussion of establishing a joint technology center heated up among several factory directors. Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, full of expectations and yearning for this idea, and they wanted to transfer Li Yang immediately to cheer for their own factory.
Just when Li Yang was in a dilemma and at a loss, Deputy Minister Liu, who was sitting in the main seat, coughed lightly and knocked on the table with his chopsticks, signaling everyone to be quiet. He looked around meaningfully and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, I understand your thoughts. Under the current situation, our industrial front does need a capable technical force. However, we must not put the cart before the horse and compete for talents, which will affect the overall situation. In my opinion, we should take a long-term view on this joint technical center and not rush into it. After all, Xiao Li's talents are obvious to all, but his qualifications and experience still need to be tempered. Why not wait for him to settle down in the steel mill for a while, and when the time is right, select him to take the lead. Isn't it a natural thing?"
Deputy Minister Liu's words were like a wake-up call, which immediately woke up the factory directors who were eager to try. Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment, nodding their heads repeatedly and not daring to say anything more.
Only Secretary Zhang and Director Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling so happy in their hearts.
They never thought that Vice Minister Liu would actually defend Li Yang, and even made the final decision, giving those colleagues who were eyeing him covetously a warning. This kind of operation was simply a stroke of genius!
"Xiao Li, you must seize this opportunity, learn more, and practice more." When the banquet was over, Deputy Minister Liu patted Li Yang on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "With your talent, you will have a bright future in the industrial front, and even enter a higher level. But now, you still have to be down-to-earth and never rush for success. I believe that it won't be long before you can grow into a real pillar of society!"
After hearing these words, Li Yang felt warm in his heart and nodded in agreement.
……
After the meal, the leaders also left.
Before leaving, he asked Secretary Zhang to let Li Yang start the new project as soon as possible.
He would consider the one from the Joint Technology Center.
As they watched the leaders' motorcade go away, Secretary Zhang and Director Yang immediately came over, patting Li Yang on the shoulder and saying excitedly:
"Oh my dear, I didn't expect that you not only have excellent skills, but also great cooking skills. You really gave us a lot of face today! Don't worry, the factory leadership has discussed it and decided to promote you to deputy chief of the technical department. If you need anything in the future, just let us know. We will definitely support you with all our strength!"
Li Yang was stunned when he heard this, then smiled modestly and said: "Two leaders, you are too flattering to me. My little skills are not good enough for you two. Besides, the factory is in a critical period now, so I will put the promotion on hold for now. I'd better be a small clerk and learn more skills from my predecessors."
"Hahaha, look at how sensible this young man is! He is very appreciative of women and girls, and he doesn't want to compete with the old cadres for credit. He has good vision! But you, don't delay your own future. Our factory will have a change of leadership in 1949, and you will have to take the lead at that time!"
Director Yang happily put his arm around Li Yang's shoulders, looking kind and benevolent. Secretary Zhang nodded vigorously, his face full of pride, as if he had made his own son famous.
In this way, Li Yang ended this grand inspection trip amid praise and expectations.
Who would have thought that in just over a month, he would go from being an unknown worker to a popular employee in the factory, attracting much attention and favor from all sides. This feeling of rapid success was as unreal as a dream.
