Chapter 246 Long Live the People!
When Su Wenchen and Fan Defu came to the cafeteria.
The cafeteria was already bustling with activity.
The tables that were originally scattered were put together one by one to form a long table.
A temporary podium has been built in an empty space on the side of the cafeteria.
At this time, Zhang Zhenhua was directing employees in light blue factory uniforms to set up a ladder and tie a red banner on it.
"Director!"
"The director is here!"
As soon as these words were spoken.
For a moment, even the person who was holding the ladder subconsciously let go and looked towards the door.
The employee who was standing on it and felt the shaking immediately started cursing.
"Hold on to me, don't let me fall."
Seeing this, Su Wenchen immediately spoke to the man.
"Hurry up and hold him, don't let him fall. Everyone is busy with their own things, don't worry about me."
Follow Su Wenchen inside.
I found some little kids running around excitedly in the cafeteria.
Apparently, since the cafeteria is free today, many employees brought their families here.
Of course there aren't that many little dolls.
Because there are mostly young employees in their farm, there are actually relatively few families with children.
In another four or five years, that will be the time when there are the most children on their farm.
But even those little kids managed to liven up the atmosphere, making the entire cafeteria much more lively.
Fan Defu, who came in with Su Wenchen, sighed.
"That's great! I wish it could be like this every day!"
When Su Wenchen heard this, he immediately smiled and shook his head.
"Old Fan, you're really audacious! We slaughtered two pigs for today's celebration banquet. They must have weighed 500 kilograms in total!"
"If you keep eating like this every day, I'm afraid your pig farm will be wiped out."
Then Su Wenchen went to the kitchen in the back.
At this time, sister-in-law Li Xiaohe was wearing a brand new apron and cutting vegetables with a group of kitchen helpers.
On the other side, the master chefs in their field were also busy with several stoves firing at the same time.
"Master Sun, you've worked so hard today!"
"But you have to show your skills!"
Hearing Su Wenchen's voice, an old master wiped the sweat off his face with the towel hanging around his neck.
"Director, you're here."
"Don't worry! I, Old Sun, will definitely show off my best skills today, otherwise it will be a shame for you to complete the foreign exchange earning mission!"
"Who says we're the only ones involved? The completion of the foreign exchange earning mission isn't just down to the rabbit house; all the employees in the farm have contributed to it."
"It's the same here in the cafeteria. Otherwise, who can finish their work on an empty stomach?"
"Let me tell you, your cafeteria's contribution is not insignificant at all. You are responsible for at least one-third of this foreign exchange earning mission."
Hearing Su Wenchen say this, Master Sun immediately grinned.
"Haha, Director, otherwise everyone would say you are capable of being a director!"
"Just a few words make me want to do it for three days and three nights!"
Su Wenchen also laughed when he heard this.
"It doesn't have to be three days and three nights, but you just have to show your skills for this meal tonight."
"Okay! Director, just wait and see! I guarantee you'll have a good meal tonight."
Then he said to the kitchen helper who was stoking the fire on the other side.
"The fire can be a little bigger! It should be as prosperous as our field."
As the canteen kitchen is busy.
Pots of dishes were brought out and then placed separately on the long tables.
Wait until everyone is here.
Su Wenchen walked to the podium and pulled the chair next to the table aside.
"Let's not have any long speeches today."
"Besides, I guess you guys are too busy smelling the food on the table to listen to me."
"Ha ha!"
When Su Wenchen heard what he said, laughter suddenly broke out in the cafeteria.
"Then let's be direct."
As he spoke, Su Wenchen took out the list that had been prepared in advance by the venue office from his shirt pocket.
"Comrade Miao Zhiguo has actively overcome difficulties and manned the Yuehua Rabbit breeding room for eight consecutive months, making outstanding contributions to the breeding of Yuehua Rabbits. The farm's Party Committee has decided to award him the title of 'Technical Innovation Expert' and a special reward of a Gold Star brand 12-inch black-and-white TV ticket and a five-foot cloth coupon!"
As Su Wenchen's voice echoed in the cafeteria, a dark-faced young man sitting on a bench suddenly stood up.
Because he stood up too suddenly, his knees hit the long table directly, and the enamel bowls and plates were clanging in an instant.
The audience immediately exploded.
Several young workers stood on tiptoe to look at the ticket with a five-pointed star pattern printed on it in Su Wenchen's hand.
Because televisions were definitely a very rare item at that time.
One is that it is expensive, and another important factor is that the bills are difficult to obtain.
So after hearing that a TV ticket was actually given out this time, they all looked at Miao Zhiguo with envy, who had just gotten up too quickly and hit his knee.
However, Miao Zhiguo had no time to care about too much at this time. He just touched it twice casually and ran to the front of the podium with a flushed face.
Su Wenchen smiled when he saw this.
"Are you okay? The things here won't run away. Are you afraid that someone else will snatch them away from you?"
Hearing Su Wenchen say this, Miao Zhiguo smiled and scratched the back of his head.
"Hey, Director, I'm fine. I'm just a little excited."
Su Wenchen nodded and handed over the bills in his hand.
"Keep working hard. I hope you can make more contributions to the field and the country!"
Then Su Wenchen continued to read.
"Comrade Sun Yulan, carrying forward the spirit of women holding up half the sky, took the initiative and actively worked the night shift to care for the rabbit cubs, setting a new record for the single-birth survival rate of 98%."
"After research and discussion by the farm party committee, it was decided to award him the title of 'Model Breeder,' and a Forever brand bicycle ticket and a five-foot cloth ticket as rewards."
"Comrade Zhao Chunmei has practiced the principle of diligence and thriftiness. She uses her spare time to collect 3,000 kilograms of leaves and straw as green feed. Her rabbit hutch has been recognized as the cleanest for three consecutive quarters, and her five-point cleaning method has been included in the breeder's manual."
"After discussion and decision by the Party Committee of the farm, I will be awarded the title of 'Model of Thriftiness,' a Forever brand bicycle ticket, and a five-foot cloth ticket."
Comrade Chen Tieniu, demonstrating the fine qualities of a veteran, used his spare time to invent a double-layer slatted floor system, which tripled manure removal efficiency.
"After research and decision by the Party Committee of the field, I am hereby awarded the title of 'Technical Invention Expert,' one Forever brand bicycle ticket, and one five-foot cloth ticket."
After hearing Su Wenchen's announcement, several people below immediately walked up to the podium with their heads held high and chests puffed out, amidst the envious gazes of the crowd.
There was even a little kid among them, shouting excitedly on the side.
"Look, that's my dad. He's really good at carrying manure!"
Hearing the baby's excited shouts, many people smiled knowingly.
However, although they looked envious, no one raised any objections, because everyone usually worked together, and everyone basically knew how much each person did.
After commending several outstanding employees.
Su Wenchen continued.
"Don't be sad if you didn't get a special recognition this time. All the staff at the rabbit house can go to the logistics department later to get an enamel teacup with our Yuehua Rabbit logo printed on it."
"However, the department is still custom-making this batch of enamel teacups. We'll send them out to everyone once they're delivered."
"Comrades, two years have already passed in the blink of an eye since we dug the first shovel of earth and built the first chicken coop on this abandoned steelworks site."
"It is because of the hard work of every one of you that our Blue Water Farm has been able to grow from a small operation of just a few thousand laying hens to a large-scale farm with over 70,000 laying hens today."
"It is thanks to the hard work of every one of you that our Yuehua rabbits can go global step by step."
As he spoke, Su Wenchen slowly walked down from the podium.
In the bright lights of the cafeteria, Su Wenchen sat at the front of the long table, holding up a porcelain bowl, the amber-colored baked sweet potato reflected on his young face.
"Today, I toast to every employee of our Blue Water Farm. Without the hard work of each of you, there would be no Blue Water Farm today!"
"Finally, long live our people, long live socialism!"
After saying that, Su Wenchen drank it in one gulp.
moment.
"Long live the people! Long live socialism! Long live XXX!"
Hundreds of sounds exploded under the cafeteria's dome, like thunder in dry land, causing the cafeteria's ceiling iron frame to fall to dust due to the sudden sound waves.
In the audience.
Zhang Zhenhua looked at the excited expressions of the employees around him. At this moment, he knew very clearly that Su Wenchen's image in the minds of all the employees at Lanshui Farm was almost impossible to replace.
He had to admit that he was crushed by Su Wenchen in every aspect.
He is not good at breeding and cultivation.
When it comes to establishing an image, he has always believed that leading by example is the most effective way to establish a positive image in the minds of employees.
He has always done this, often feeding chickens and cleaning manure with the employees on the front line.
But now this moment.
He was a little confused. He didn't know whether he should stay the same as before or make some changes.
After three rounds of drinking.
I don't know who started it, but everyone in the cafeteria started singing "The East is Red" in unison, and the singing mixed with the smell of alcohol filled the cafeteria windows.
Su Wenchen walked out of the cafeteria.
I saw Zhang Zhenhua sitting alone, looking a little confused, on the steps in front of the cafeteria.
Su Wenchen was a little confused. Why did this person become discouraged for no reason?
Moreover, he still wanted the other party to continue working, so how could he just look so decadent?
In addition, he will definitely develop the Yellow River flood area in the future, and we will also need the other party to preside over the work here.
How could such a useful tool suddenly give up?
So Su Wenchen went straight to the other person.
"Comrade Zhenhua?"
"Why are you sitting here alone? Are you admiring the moon?"
Hearing Su Wenchen's voice, Zhang Zhenhua turned his head, looked at the other person sitting down, nodded and said.
"Yes, the moon is bright today."
As he spoke, Zhang Zhenhua raised his head and looked at the pitch-black sky, but he couldn't find the moon at all.
This made him very embarrassed.
Su Wenchen looked at the other person who stopped talking halfway and laughed.
"You can't find the moon, right? And you said you were admiring it!"
"Is there something bothering you? Let's talk, and I'll see if I can help you with some advice."
Zhang Zhenhua looked at Su Wenchen with a serious expression and simply spoke under the influence of alcohol.
"Director, do you think it's really useless to lead by example?"
"Why can a few words from you be worth more than a whole year of hard work in the chicken farm?"
"Even when I have some free time, I work with the workers on the front lines, feeding the chickens, mixing the feed, delivering the manure. I lead by example with them."
"I even do more than them. I just want to lead them and set an example, but some employees even think I look down on them for not being able to do the job, while others think I am taking their work away."
As he spoke, Zhang Zhenhua covered his head.
"I don't understand why you don't contribute much, but you still get the support of all the employees."
"I admit that I'm not as good as you in breeding and cultivation, so I've been working hard in other areas. But I find that sometimes the more I work, the less effect I get."
When Su Wenchen heard Zhang Zhenhua's words, he turned around and gestured towards the cafeteria.
"Do you think the employees there are all the same?"
Zhang Zhenhua turned his head and looked into the cafeteria under the light.
Everyone's expression was indeed different. Some were standing on stools and singing passionately, while others were whispering harmoniously and clapping their hands to accompany the music.
So he spoke directly to Su Wenchen.
"How could they all be the same people?"
Su Wenchen nodded.
"Yeah, everyone is different, but you want to conquer everyone with one method."
"And if you were a team leader in the chicken coop, and you led by example, I would definitely approve of it and even commend you!"
"But you're not. You're the one who runs the chicken farm."
"Your job isn't to be a breeder feeding the chickens in the chicken coop, nor is it to be a cleaner pushing a cart to transport manure every day."
"You are the person in charge of the chicken farm. You have to formulate the development strategy of the chicken farm. You are the leader of the chicken farm!"
"Honestly, you want to win the support of the chicken farm workers. What have you done this year?"
"A year ago, we had over 70,000 laying hens, and now we have the same number. The laying hen breeding techniques are still the same as I developed before."
"You said your breeding skills are not as good as mine, then what about other aspects?"
"In the rabbit house, this year alone, some employees have developed a series of improved technologies, including the five-point positioning cleaning method and double-layer slatted floor."
"Over there at the chicken farm!"
“Not a single new technology.”
"Even though the chicken farm cannot expand due to feed restrictions, there are almost no new achievements in other aspects of the chicken farm."
"As the person in charge, how do you want your employees to support you?"
Hearing Su Wenchen's sharp words that hit his heart, Zhang Zhenhua's throat rolled a few times, but he couldn't say a word.
"Director, I..."
Su Wenchen stretched out his hand to stop him.
"You don't have to tell me that the chicken farm needs a leader who can lead its development step by step."
"Just because Lanshui County has reached its limit on feed supply doesn't mean other places can't supply it. You need to contact the provincial or municipal governments to negotiate and exchange benefits."
"Eggs break easily during long-distance transportation, so we need to find a way to solve this problem. If there is a feasible solution, we can even develop egg-related by-products."
"Comrade Zhenhua, the workers don't need you to help them with their work."
"But you'll need to provide them with appropriate benefits and future security. You're the deputy director of the farm committee and the person in charge of the chicken farm. Your responsibility is to plan the next development strategy for the chicken farm."
"You're not just an ordinary handyman at the chicken farm!"
"I'm not against you occasionally going to the front lines to work with ordinary employees, but you have to know what your purpose is."
"You used to listen to the opinions of frontline workers, collect their feedback and help them solve their problems, not just help them push carts or carry heavy bags!"
Listening to the deafening words around him, Zhang Zhenhua recalled what he had done in the field over the past year.
It seems that there has been no progress in breeding new breeds of laying hens since then.
I'm getting a bit too stuck in a rut.
He was determined to surpass the other party, but in the end he found that there was no hope in breeding and cultivation.
Just like a drowning person grabbing the last straw, he has been working on the front line to prove himself.
Prove that you are better than him in this aspect and that you can endure more hardships than him.
Now think about it, even if it is proven, what’s the point!
He completely failed in his job.
The chicken farm didn't make any money this year, and after the feed supply in Lanshui County reached its limit, he didn't think of any other solutions.
He didn't even pay attention to the technical improvements to the chicken coop. While watching the good news coming from the rabbit house, he was immersed in self-hypnosis.
Think of this.
Zhang Zhenhua sighed.
"Director, looking at it this way, I've really been negligent in my duties this year!"
"No! Why have you lost your fighting spirit?"
Looking at Zhang Zhenhua who was becoming even more dejected, Su Wenchen rubbed his forehead helplessly.
It seems he chose the wrong strategy.
I was thinking of motivating him, but now it seems that his fighting spirit has not been aroused, but instead he has been directly demoralized?
Looking at Su Wenchen who was somewhat speechless.
Zhang Zhenhua took a deep breath and his eyes became determined again.
"Director, don't worry, I'm fine. I'm just thinking that this past year, apart from being entangled with Zheng Xianghong, seems to have been quite a failure."
"But what you said just now, Director, also gave me a reminder."
"I'm not as good as you in breeding, but I can catch up with you in other areas."
"Director, don't worry. I, Zhang Zhenhua, won't be discouraged that easily."
Su Wenchen blinked.
"No, why are you doing it in fits and starts?"
"I'm a little overwhelmed."
Zhang Zhenhua raised his head and glanced at the pitch-black sky in front of him. He didn't know when the dark clouds dispersed, revealing the stars and the half-hidden crescent moon again.
"I was just complaining under the influence of alcohol earlier, Director, please don't take it to heart!"
"I've never been disrespectful to you."
Su Wenchen also looked up at the starry sky.
"Whether I take it seriously or not depends on your actual performance. If the chicken farm is still sitting there and living off its past profits next year, I will definitely consider replacing you."
Zhang Zhenhua looked at Su Wenchen seriously.
"Director, if the chicken farm continues to stagnate next year, I will resign."
Su Wenchen nodded.
"That's it, then. I want to see you actually perform, and be more flexible, not so rigid."
"Eggs are in short supply right now, both in the province and in other cities. As long as you find the right people, you won't have to worry about development."
After saying that, Su Wenchen stretched and walked down the steps of the cafeteria.
"By the way, after the commendation meeting today, I'm going to take a few days off. Unless it's something important, don't bother me."
"Until now, I haven't even completed a full wedding leave. I just hope that this time you can let me spend these three days in peace. Is that okay?"
Hearing Su Wenchen's lazy words, Zhang Zhenhua was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Director, don't worry. Unless it's a matter of life and death for the farm, I won't bother you this time."
Su Wenchen nodded with great satisfaction.
"Okay then, I'll leave this to you. Let's go once we're done eating! I'll be heading back first."
Having said that, he couldn't wait to walk towards home.
Zhang Zhenhua looked at the free and easy Su Wenchen with envy.
“Youth is so free and easy!”
"No, I'm only 32, I'm also a young person!"
"Shouldn't it be time to find a partner?"
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to open the door to go back to the cafeteria. However, just as he grabbed the door handle, he looked at his hand in the light coming through the window, which seemed as rough as tree bark.
Just muttered to himself.
"A young face is enough. It's okay if your hands are a little older. That way girls will think you are capable of work."
I walked into the cafeteria and washed my hands in the sink. I saw a blurry figure in the reflection of the sink.
"Uh~ He can't be so single!"
Today is the author's birthday, and I wasted a lot of time during the day, so I only have 5,000 words.
Also, although I have only updated once before, the number of words is actually written according to two or three chapters. This is just to increase the average subscription, and I will publish it in one chapter to get the boutique badge.
Finally, I wish myself a happy birthday. It’s the end of the month and if you have tickets, you can throw them away!
This month I have updated almost 200,000 words, and next month I will aim for 250,000 words! ! !
