Chapter 81 Food Factory

Chapter 81

The newspaper arrived a few minutes earlier than Yang Dai.

Factories would subscribe to newspapers, but they were basically only circulated in office buildings and placed on the leaders' desks.

Since Zheng Huasheng met Yang Dai through the recommendation of the Propaganda Department, he has taken the articles in the newspaper more seriously.

Trying to be a talent scout again, he discovered a not-yet-famous talent in the newspaper.

Therefore, at this time, no matter how busy Zheng Huasheng was, the first thing he did when he arrived at the office was to read the newspaper.

In order not to miss out on the best news, the food factory has now subscribed to all the newspapers it can, of course the National Daily is still at the top.

This is the newspaper with the widest coverage, and based on the content of the newspaper, Zheng Huasheng can also simply judge the future trend and adjust the pace of the current food factory in time according to the trend.

Zheng Huasheng poured himself a cup of tea, shook the newspaper and started reading.

Reading a newspaper is a relaxing thing, but as he read, Zheng Huasheng's breathing began to quicken.

He suddenly stood up from the chair, so excited that his feet left the ground and he could not stand steadily.

The chair behind him collided with the table due to his violent movement, making a loud noise.

The secretary who heard the noise pushed the door open and saw his leader looking a little embarrassed with excitement. He immediately closed the door and left.

Zheng Huasheng quickly stopped his secretary and said, "Post this newspaper on our factory bulletin board so everyone can see it."

Han Lin went directly to the newly designated family area of the food factory to go to work, while Yang Dai went directly into the food factory through the main gate.

When I walked to the bulletin board, I found that everyone was gathered in front of it, talking about something.

Yang Dai stopped for a moment, assessed the crowd in front of her, and finally decided to go to the office building to find Zheng Huasheng first.

But before he could leave, he was discovered by a sharp-eyed person.

"Comrade Yang Dai is here, Comrade Yang Dai is here." Someone in the crowd shouted, and Yang Dai instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Comrade Yang Dai is amazing! Your article is in the newspaper again." Someone pointed at the newly posted newspaper on the bulletin board, with a proud expression on his face.

Although the article in the newspaper was not written by him, the article mentioned their food factory and he was a member of the food factory, so he felt honored and proud to tell others about it.

Yang Dai then turned her gaze to the newspaper. To be honest, she was a little surprised. She didn't expect that this article could be published.

When Yang Dai left the capital, she wrote two articles in total. One was about the promotion of flight attendants, and the other was based on the cooperation between the food factory and the aviation base. She said that this kind of cooperation is an innovative spirit that allows both units to have better development.

The first article was written and submitted to a daily newspaper, but the editor of the daily newspaper did not approve the article. Yang Dai then submitted it to a local newspaper in the capital, and it was successfully published.

Before leaving, in addition to the basic salary given to her by the aviation base, she was also given an extra reward for this article.

Because her first article was rejected, Yang Dai also learned about the strictness of the daily newspaper's manuscript review. When she submitted her article for the second time, she did not have much hope of being approved. Unexpectedly, it was published so quickly.

"You are worthy of it, you are worthy of it." When he arrived at the office, Zheng Huasheng kept sighing to Yang Dai. He had no idea that Yang Dai had written the article. This article was a complete surprise.

Moreover, their food factory was directly reported in the national daily newspaper, so the provincial and municipal newspapers would definitely not miss this opportunity and would take the opportunity to interview their food factory.

In just over ten minutes, Zheng Huasheng had already started asking the people in the Propaganda Department to prepare their interview scripts. Originally, this matter would have been most appropriate for Yang Dai to handle.

After all, when it comes to writing articles, no one in the food factory can compare to Yang Dai. But after thinking about it, she decided that it was not suitable, so the job was handed over to the Propaganda Department.

In addition to preparing the next interview script, Zheng Huasheng also notified the sales department, asking them to always have someone guarding the phone and answer the call as soon as possible if any unit called.

Now the entire food factory is in full swing because of the article in the newspaper and is ready to fight at any time.

Zheng Huasheng was extremely excited to see the food factory getting better and better under his hands.

"Comrade Yang Dai, from today on, you are a formal employee of our food factory. I will have my secretary take you to the personnel department to handle employee relations."

"As for the profits from the previous pastry recipes, I will also ask the Finance Department to settle a sum for you." Zheng Huasheng became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Comrade Yang Dai." Zheng Huasheng couldn't help rubbing his hands. "When you officially start working this time, do you want to go to the Publicity Department or our Product Inspection Department?"

Food factories in the past did not have product inspection departments. After all, the food factories at that time were just barely maintaining operations, and the daily shipments were pitifully small, so there was no need for a product inspection department at all.

However, the scale of food factories has been expanding recently. In addition to the two flagship products, small biscuits and cakes, the food factories in the county are also actively communicating with the provincial and municipal food factories, improving the taste of some of the original biscuits of the food factories, and they can now be shipped normally.

As the volume of shipments increases, the existence of a food inspection department becomes necessary.

"Or besides these two departments, we can discuss where you want to go."

"Our newly established New Product Development Technology Department is in great need of talents like you."

Yang Dai smiled and shook her head. "The publicity department is good enough. The product department needs more technical talents. I won't join in the fun."

Yang Dai understood that Zheng Huasheng wanted her to go to the product technology department. After all, if there was a chance in the future, she could suddenly come up with the prescription. However, Yang Dai no longer had this idea.

She did have a few food recipes in her hand, but she didn't plan to take them out anymore, and those recipes were not suitable.

She has tasted the pastries improved by Zheng Huasheng and can feel the difference between the improved pastries and the current pastries. These differences are definitely not only considered from the cost perspective, but also from Zheng Huasheng's own creativity.

After all, Zheng Huasheng does have his own talent in food taste, otherwise he would not have been able to develop the now popular biscuits on his own and become an important pillar of the food factory.

Although Zheng Huasheng always thanks Yang Dai and Xia Ziqing, believing that these two people helped open up the foreign exchange channel for the small biscuits, the small biscuits can now be widely sold in many places.

But in fact, everyone knows that if a product wants to last for a long time, quality and taste are the top priorities. No matter from which aspect, Zheng Huasheng should be credited with the first place.

The reason why Zheng Huasheng was so grateful to Yang Dai was not only because Yang Dai did provide help to the food factory, but more importantly, the timing of Yang Dai's appearance was just right.

The food factory was on the verge of bankruptcy. As someone who had witnessed the establishment of the food factory, Zheng Huasheng was deeply emotionally invested in it. The small biscuits at that time were the last straw, but the final obstacle was the packaging, and no matter how many people were replaced, the factory was still unable to satisfy the foreign investors.

At this critical moment, Yang Dai's paintings suddenly appeared in front of him and won praise from foreign businessmen, so Zheng Huasheng suddenly elevated Yang Dai's role.

However, as the food factory gradually got on track, this mentality could not exist forever, so Yang Dai took the initiative to come up with the recipe, which can be regarded as her own contribution.

Yang Dai first went to the personnel department to regularize her work relationship, and then, under the guidance of the personnel department staff, she officially entered the publicity department of the food factory.

"Finally here." Seeing Yang Dai coming, several people from the Propaganda Department stood up to greet her.

"Here, here, the desks are all tidy. The logistics department delivered water cups, notebooks and pens this morning." Everyone in the Propaganda Department was very enthusiastic and showed great welcome to Yang Dai's arrival.

"Comrade Yang Dai, Comrade Xia Ziqing's desk is across from you, but Comrade Xia Ziqing has been on a business trip to the city these days and hasn't come back yet." The person from the Propaganda Department gave another special explanation.

Yang Dai was welcomed by everyone and had her own desk. She went to the meeting with several people from the publicity department.

The food factory is undergoing full-scale expansion, and the Propaganda Department naturally needs to recruit people. The focus of this meeting is the number of recruits and the exam questions.

This time the food factory is recruiting on a large scale and the examination is very strict. According to the current rules, there will be two written tests alone.

One is conducted by the Personnel Department and tests some basic knowledge.

Next, there will be a small test between each department, and after the written test, there will be a simple interview.

For example, when the Propaganda Department interviews, the interviewee will be asked to prepare materials and write a short essay.

Interviews in the production workshop place more emphasis on personal hygiene.

The Propaganda Department’s small meeting at this time mainly focused on the candidates who would be interviewed at that time.

There will be four interviewers in total, Zheng Huasheng will be one of them, and the current head of the Propaganda Department will be the second.

The remaining two spots are currently under discussion.

Yang Dai just listened quietly and didn't intend to express her own opinion. After all, she was not familiar with the people in the Propaganda Department.

Unexpectedly, after everyone recommended her, she actually became one of the interviewers, and everyone agreed.

Yang Dai took on the task and decided to give it a try. After all, this was her first experience in life.

Working in the factory had no impact on Yang Dai. She went to and from get off work on time every day and had Sundays as a day off.

Han Lin's working hours are similar, but his rest time is not fixed.

Yang Dai lives a routine life. In her spare time, she would repair the calligraphy and paintings she had bought from a street before, and also experience the feeling of being an interviewer.

Soon Xia Ziqing came back from his business trip and shared with Yang Dai his energy during this period.

Xia Ziqing's business trip this time was also a secondment. A factory in the city hired two foreigners to upgrade the production line in the workshop, but was afraid that there would be errors in communication, so they specially seconded Xia Ziqing.

Xia Ziqing came this time to formally establish a relationship with Zheng Huasheng. At this time, she was only a temporary worker and could leave at any time as long as the factory agreed. She was going to work at the Youth League Office.

After hearing Xia Ziqing's plan, Yang Dai naturally supported Xia Ziqing's idea. After all, Xia Ziqing was an educated youth, and if he wanted to return to the city, he must go through the educated youth office.

"Come with me somewhere after get off work." Xia Ziqing changed the subject and invited Yang Dai to go together.

It was not until Yang Dai arrived at the place that she discovered that Xia Ziqing's invitation location was actually a scrap yard.
