Chapter 48 Proposing Reforms
Even if Master Chen didn't come to the factory on his own initiative, the factory would still look for him.
But since he was here, the factory still had to ask him what he thought as a routine matter.
The factory manager asked, "Master Chen, why are you here?"
Although Master Chen is usually quite arrogant, he still feels a little short of breath when facing the factory director. He immediately reflects on himself: "Director, I am responsible for what happened in the cafeteria today." After saying this, tears fell.
Master Chen continued, "I've been learning the craft since I was twelve, and I've won many awards in competitions over the years. I came to our factory hoping to do a good job. But you know cooking is hard to please everyone. Now that things have turned out like this, I'm really embarrassed."
The factory manager had no choice but to comfort him: "I know it's not easy for you."
The factory manager changed the subject and asked, "Did you instruct the captain of the security department to drive away the stalls outside?"
Master Chen said, "I'm innocent. I just asked if I could set up a stall outside. I didn't say anything else."
The captain of the security department was sweating when he heard Master Chen's words of shirking responsibility. Now the factory director was interrogating him personally.
This is not the time to lie. If I get fired from the factory, I will never be able to find a job again in my life.
The security captain said, "He hinted at me that. He also said he wouldn't forget my kindness. We're all adults, how could anyone not understand that?"
Master Chen said, "Stop slandering me here. I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything. Everyone has their own responsibility. Why are you dragging me into this?"
The Security Department’s popularity has been ruined.
He really didn't know how to prove himself. He immediately stood up and said, "If I said that, I would die miserably. Master Chen, do you dare to swear an oath?"
The factory manager looked unhappy and said, "Okay, what are you doing?"
Then the factory director whispered a few words to the secretary.
Master Chen was also quite nervous. This security captain was really not good at doing anything, but was always causing trouble.
At this moment, people from the factory's supervisory committee came over.
The factory manager said, "I have something going on here right now. Let's talk about your business later."
Someone from the factory supervisory committee said, "Director, this is very important and it's related to Master Chen."
Master Chen felt uneasy when he heard this.
The Supervisory Committee member didn't care what he thought and said directly, "I've received reports from the public that Chef Chen is accepting bribes and taking kickbacks for food sales. This results in a huge amount of waste every month. The total loss is over 4,000 yuan per month. The police will be here shortly."
The factory manager only knew that Master Chen’s cooking skills were unstable, but this was the first time he heard that he was deliberately wasting food and accepting bribes!
Master Chen's back was soaked with sweat. He said, "You... are slandering me."
The inspection team brought in someone from a pig farm.
Master Chen seemed to be under a spell and couldn't speak for a long time.
The pig farm worker said, "I'm here to collect the swill today. I paid for it. Why are you arresting me?"
The person at the inspection meeting said, "Director, those are the meals that were not eaten at noon. They were just thrown away and given to people to eat."
The factory manager's expression changed. He looked at the people at the pig farm and said, "Who sold it to you? How much did they sell it to you for?"
Although the people at the pig farm didn't know what was happening at their state-owned factory, they still told the truth: "Master Chen asked me to collect it. Your swill is very oily and the pigs love it. We paid the highest price in the market, 30 cents per pound. I paid 600 yuan."
The people in the factory were almost furious when they heard this.
When the inspectors heard this, they said, "No wonder the cafeteria doesn't like your food. It turns out you're planning to waste it and sell the swill to make money."
Soon the police arrived.
The inspection committee sent Master Chen over. He earned 600 yuan selling swill, which wasn't much, but the waste he caused for the canteen was already 4,000 yuan.
Now the people from the Supervisory Commission are investigating whether he has taken kickbacks.
Even the deputy factory director who brought Master Chen in couldn't help but say, "Old Chen, you are so confused."
This state-owned factory has good benefits and high salaries. He is also the head of the kitchen and has the final say. What a great job.
He put himself in jail for such a small profit.
Other losses are uncertain at the moment, but if the situation gets out, you will definitely be laid off.
Master Chen didn't expect that he would get himself into trouble.
The captain of the security department was watching the fun from the side, cursing him in his heart over and over again, saying that he deserved it.
But soon it was his turn.
The unit gave him a serious punishment and directly transferred him from the security department to the health team.
The captain of the security department was also dumbfounded.
After dealing with these two people, the factory director did not leave yet, and the union members were still waiting here to report to the factory director.
"Everyone in the factory loves to eat the food from Boss Shen, who runs a stall at the door. Now that this has happened, the workers all hope that she can come in and be the head chef!"
The chef in the factory is a regular job and everyone has to report to the higher and lower levels.
There are many things involved, not to mention the complicated network of connections in the cafeteria, which is full of Master Chen's people. Now that Master Chen has stepped down and asked her to be the head chef, the kitchen will definitely revolt.
The factory manager said, "How about this, let's talk to her first and see what she thinks."
Being the head chef in a large canteen that seats 3,000 people isn't just about cooking skills; it also requires management. It's not as easy as you might imagine.
But the ideas of our worker comrades cannot be ignored.
The factory director said, "Hurry up and find Comrade Shen, and come up with a plan to resolve this matter as soon as possible."
The comrades on the workers' committee were also confused.
But the leadership has entrusted them with this important task, which is a sign of trust in them. We still have to find a way to get this done.
The workers' committee made all kinds of inquiries, and it was almost dark when they found Shen Qingyue.
Director Jiang of the committee had heard that Shen Qingyue was young, but he didn't expect her to be so young.
Then he told Shen Qingyue about the factory's dismissal of Chef Chen and the demotion of the security team leader. He also brought her a few of the factory's army green kettles as consolation prizes.
Shen Qingyue said: "You are too polite. You have come here with so much trouble, it should not be just a simple apology. If you have anything to say, you might as well tell me directly."
Director Jiang said as soon as he heard it: "You are indeed thoughtful. You will understand as soon as I tell you."
Then she told her colleagues about the difficulties in the factory and how much they liked her boxed lunches.
Shen Qingyue said: "Since the cafeteria is burdened with heavy expenses and has many inherent problems, it is better to reform it."
When Director Jiang heard such words coming from the little girl, he was a little curious: "What do you mean?"
Shen Qingyue said, "Why not just contract out the kitchen and open multiple stalls? Not only will they be responsible for their own profits and losses, but they can also increase the factory's income."
Director Jiang thought it was a good idea, but as a small director, he couldn't make the decision, so he said, "How about you come to the factory tomorrow and discuss the details with the leader."
Just as the cafeteria corruption incident happened, the factory was considering reforms. Shen Qingyue's proposal came as a timely rain and was very promising!
