When Secretary Zhang learned what had happened, he immediately went back and reported it to Factory Director Yang. However, he was just a secretary; he didn't have the authority to make decisions for the factory director.

Factory Director Yang listened to Secretary Zhang's report with a completely dark face. He really didn't expect that this silly Zhu was so useless, causing him so much trouble on the very first day.

He's starting to doubt whether this silly Zhu is really capable.

After reporting the situation, Secretary Zhang stood obediently in front of Director Yang, head bowed and without saying a word.

Factory Director Yang looked at Secretary Zhang for a long time, then sighed and said, "Little Zhang, do you think I really made a mistake?"

When Secretary Zhang heard what Factory Director Yang said, his legs almost went weak with fear. Good heavens, was he going to make him a scapegoat? He immediately said respectfully, "You are the factory director of our steel rolling mill!"

You must have other intentions in doing this, especially since helping and developing the branch factories is also part of the same call to action.”

Upon hearing Secretary Zhang's words, Director Yang did not speak, but instead strode towards the door.

Secretary Zhang followed behind Factory Director Yang with trepidation. He was genuinely afraid that Factory Director Yang would blame him for the incident.

The workers who were still gathered in front of the office building rushed to his side when they saw him come out.

The crowd that had been protesting moments before now kept their mouths shut and stared intently at Factory Director Yang.

Before they saw Director Yang, they were all brave warriors, but once they actually saw him, they were as wilted as frostbitten eggplants. After all, he was the factory director; it would be a lie to say they weren't afraid.

Factory Director Yang glanced at everyone, and they immediately lowered their heads when they saw his gaze.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Director Yang spoke up: "Secretary Zhang just reported your matter to me. Ma Hua went to the machine repair shop to provide guidance, which was a decision made by the factory leadership. What, do you have any objections?"

“We’re not happy about it. Why was Master Ma transferred away? And Sha Zhu is just a latrine cleaner and a thief. Besides, Sha Zhu’s cooking is terrible. Why is he being treated this way?”

At this moment, the people arranged by Li Huaide immediately began to stir up trouble.

"That's right, Director Yang, why are you doing this?"

"That's right, Master Ma is such a good person, why should he be transferred?"

"Quickly give Master Ma back to us."

Seeing that the crowd was getting louder and louder, Secretary Zhang immediately shouted at them, "You're not convinced? I'm not convinced either!"

Everyone was startled by Secretary Zhang's words. Could there be some hidden story behind this?

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Secretary Zhang slowly said, "This was decided in a meeting of the factory leaders. There's a policy now to support the branch factory."

The factory leaders were just considering the overall situation. Besides, Master Ma was only going to the machine repair shop to provide guidance and would be back in a few days. It wasn't a transfer as you're saying."

After Secretary Zhang finished speaking, he stepped behind Factory Director Yang. Factory Director Yang nodded at Secretary Zhang with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad."

"Comrades, don't worry, Master Ma will be back soon after he finishes instructing the branch factory. Please rest assured," Factory Director Yang explained to the group.

After hearing Director Yang's explanation, although everyone was somewhat unwilling, they could only nod in agreement when they heard that it was a meeting of factory leaders and that Master Ma would be back.

Just when Director Yang thought the matter was resolved, the person arranged by Li Huaide immediately said, "What does Sha Zhu say? It doesn't matter that Master Ma was transferred, but Sha Zhu's cooking is really terrible!"

The anger that everyone had just suppressed was immediately reignited. Yes, there was nothing that could be done about Master Ma being transferred, but what about Sha Zhu?

"Ahem, I also ate Comrade He Yuzhu's meal, and it wasn't as bad as you all said. I'll arrange for someone to urge Silly Zhu to improve. Besides, apart from the MCA..."

"Our factory only has He Yuzhu who's decent enough. Should I get you another one?" Factory Director Yang sighed.

Hearing what Factory Director Yang said, everyone felt a surge of anger, though they said nothing in return. This helpless situation was infuriating.

Yes, Director Yang is right. If even Sha Zhu's cooking is this bad, how are we supposed to eat if we switch to someone else?

After Director Yang offered a few words of encouragement to the crowd, they dispersed. Only then did Director Yang return to his office. The moment he was back, the previously calm Director Yang immediately snapped at Secretary Zhang, "Go, fetch Sha Zhu here!"

Also, bring me a dish made by Sha Zhu; I want to see just how awful it really is.

Meanwhile, Ma Hua also rode his bike to the machine repair shop. Looking at the dilapidated factory gate in front of him, Ma Hua sighed inwardly, hoping it wasn't the one he was thinking of.

After the security guards at the gate verified Ma Hua's identity, they smiled and said to Ma Hua, "Comrade Ma Hua, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Please have a seat. Our factory manager will be here shortly."

“It’s alright, I understand, I understand, it’s all for the people!” MCA replied politely.

When Ma Hua saw the factory manager, he was immediately dumbfounded. This was Liu Feng! Good heavens, could it really be from this TV series?

Ma Hua immediately recalled the TV series, whose title was "Man is Iron, Food is Steel."

The protagonist is also a cook named Nan Yi, who tries to woo Ding Qiunan, the factory's most beautiful girl, but fails and is instead snatched away by the widow Liang Ladi.

Ultimately, this is also a story of a simp and a widow, except that Liang Ladi, this widow, is far superior to Qin Huairu, that pretentious and affected innocent girl.

Although Liang Ladi has a strong and outspoken personality, as a widow, she inevitably faces scrutiny from others. How could she survive without being assertive?

In fact, Liang Ladi also moved among men like Qin Huairu, but unlike Qin Huairu, she used tactics instead of the "exchange of steamed buns for steamed buns" approach.
