Chapter 302 Nan Yi Joins the Steel Rolling Mill
Liu Lan came back and reported the news.
Zhang Jianlong smiled and said, "Oh, this Yan Jiecheng is quite thoughtful. He actually came up with such an idea!"
Liu Lan said: "Yan Jiecheng harassed Liang Ladi, a female worker in the machine repair factory. Everyone in the machine repair factory knows this!"
Zhang Jianjun nodded and said, "That's their machine repair shop's business, we won't care about it. But this Nan Yi is indeed a good cook, I think we can poach him!"
Liu Lan said in embarrassment: "I don't think it's that easy. He's the chef of the machine repair factory, how can he be put there?"
Zhang Jianjun laughed: "You don't know, Nan Yi's situation is not good now!"
It turned out that Nan Yi was transferred to the canteen to do odd jobs because he offended the factory leader.
However, his cooking skills have always been highly praised. He even represented the machine repair shop in a cooking competition and won the championship.
However, due to his poor relationship with his superiors, he never received the attention and promotion opportunities he deserved.
After learning about these situations, Zhang Jianjun was secretly happy.
He felt that this was a perfect opportunity to recruit this excellent chef to his own cafeteria.
So, he decided to talk to Nan Yi in person to see if he could convince him to join his team.
Zhang Jianjun came to the canteen of the machine repair factory and found Nan Yi who was busy.
Nan Yi sat in the slightly old office of the machine repair shop. The afternoon sun shone obliquely through the window onto his desk, adding a touch of warmth to this place that was usually filled with the smell of engine oil and the sound of metal colliding.
His eyes inadvertently revealed a bit of confusion, and he seemed to be a little worried about the uncertainty of the future.
At this moment, Zhang Jianjun, a person who was not unfamiliar to him but not familiar to him, suddenly appeared in his sight.
Zhang Jianjun is the head of the steel rolling mill and has frequent business dealings with the machine repair factory. Although Nan Yi does not know Zhang Jianjun, he has heard of him.
"Nan Yi, I have always admired your craftsmanship. I heard that you are also a versatile person in the machine repair shop. Not only are you skilled, but you are also good at cooking."
Zhang Jianjun got straight to the point and stated his purpose directly.
"Our steel mill cafeteria needs talents like you. I hope you can join us and create more delicious possibilities together."
When Nan Yi heard this, ripples appeared in his heart.
He does have a keen interest in cooking, and often prepares some side dishes for his colleagues in his free time, which has won him a lot of praise.
However, the work in the machine repair shop is stable, and although the income is not high, it is enough to make a living, which makes him have some concerns.
"Director Zhang, I appreciate your invitation, but..."
Nan Yi hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth.
"I have worked here for many years. Although the conditions are average, it is stable. I am worried that if I go to a new environment, I will face a lot of uncertainties."
Zhang Jianjun smiled slightly, as if he had already anticipated Nan Yi's concerns.
"I understand your concerns. After all, changing jobs is a big deal and requires careful consideration. But I want to tell you that our cafeteria is not only much larger than the machine repair shop, but more importantly, we have a broader stage for you to display your talents. You can give full play to your creativity, try all kinds of new dishes, and even have the opportunity to participate in the overall operation of the cafeteria."
After hearing this, Nan Yi's eyes flashed with light, but he was quickly brought back to reality by reason.
"Director Zhang, the opportunity you mentioned is indeed attractive, but I am still worried. What if...what if the new environment is not suitable for me? What should I do?"
Zhang Jianjun saw the struggle in Nan Yi's heart. He stood up, walked to Nan Yi and patted him on the shoulder gently.
"Nan Yi, I understand your concerns, but you know what? Life is like cooking. Sometimes you need to boldly try new ingredients and new recipes to create unexpected delicacies. I believe that your talent should not be confined to this small machine repair shop. Give me, and yourself, a chance, let us explore unknown possibilities together, okay?"
These words, like a warm current, slowly flowed into Nan Yi's heart.
He began to think seriously about Zhang Jianjun's words. Yes, he had always dreamed of having a broader world to showcase his culinary talent. Should he really give up because of fear of the unknown?
"Director Zhang, what you said makes sense. I do want more room for development. However, I need some time to think about it. After all, this concerns my future."
Nan Yi's tone revealed a certain firmness, but also mixed with uncertainty about the future.
Zhang Jianjun nodded in understanding.
"Of course, I completely understand. I'll be here for you while you think about it. Remember, no matter what you choose, I believe in your ability to make the best decision."
In the next few days, Nan Yi thought about it over and over again. He sought advice from his family and friends, and also weighed the pros and cons alone in the dead of night.
Eventually, he decided to give himself a chance to pursue his passion and dream of cooking.
"Director Zhang, I've made up my mind. I'm willing to accept your invitation and join your cafeteria."
Nan Yi's voice was soft but extremely firm.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jianjun showed a gratified smile on his face.
"That's great, Nan Yi. I believe that your joining will make our cafeteria even better. Let's work together to create glory that belongs to you and us!"
In this way, Nan Yi embarked on a new journey. With his love for cooking and his vision for the future, he entered a new environment full of challenges and opportunities.
He knows that this road may not be smooth, but he also believes that as long as he moves forward bravely, one day he will shine his own light on this bigger stage.
After learning that Nan Yi went to the steel mill, Yan Jiecheng was so happy that he thought: I finally got rid of this thorn in my side. So he rode his bicycle, humming a little tune all the way, and happily went to work at the machine repair factory.
On the way, Yan Jiecheng suddenly saw Liang Ladi, and hurriedly approached her and said, "Master Liang, come and take my bicycle, so we can get to the factory faster."
Liang Ladi glanced at him and said with some disdain: "Forget it, I dare not ride your bicycle. If someone sees me, I don't know what kind of gossip will spread!"
Yan Jiecheng said nonchalantly: "Oh, what are you afraid of? Let them talk. We haven't done anything shameful." As he spoke, he kept staring at Liang Ladi with lustful eyes.
Liang Ladi felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, and she said quickly: "Okay, is it a big deal to have a bicycle? Let's go, I don't want it." After saying that, she quickened her pace and walked forward.
Seeing that Liang Ladi was unwilling, Yan Jiecheng stopped forcing her and just rode away on his bicycle.
