Chapter 50 Successfully Entered the State-Owned Factory
Chef Li said, "I'm not good enough to be the head chef."
Seeing this, others also said that they could not do it.
In the past, being the head chef in a state-owned factory was a great achievement, but now if you are not careful you will be sent to jail. Who would be willing to take on this hot potato?
The factory manager said, "This doesn't work, and that doesn't work. What on earth can you do?"
The chefs all refused to speak.
The factory manager took the pen in his hand and said, "Is there anyone who wants to run a window business on his own?"
Others didn't dare to agree.
They know very well how much a kitchen worker consumes in a day.
In the past, it was all public property, so even a little waste was not a big deal. But if it falls on an individual, who can afford to pay for it?
The factory manager was a little disappointed and said, "Okay, Miss Shen agrees to open a window for you. Let the logistics director tell you the details." Then he stood up and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
As soon as the factory director left, the cooks were also evacuated.
Director Jiang from the workers' union is now working with the logistics staff to measure the area and create a space inside the cafeteria for Shen Qingyue to use exclusively!
The logistics director said, "I can isolate him today. I hope to start work tomorrow. After all, the employees in the factory like the food you cook."
The people in the factory are making trouble, and people are putting pressure on them from both top and bottom.
Shen Qingyue said: "No problem. Then can I hang a plaque in my special window?"
The logistics person said, "Sure."
Shen Qingyue asked: "What's the rent?"
The state-owned factory cafeteria was currently suffering from a huge deficit. Shen Qingyue was able to move into the cafeteria because she was given the job in a time of crisis. Furthermore, the factory director was willing to let her move in, and the people liked her, so there was no hold back. "One hundred a month," she said.
It's basically given for free.
Shen Qingyue asked, "Are there any restrictions on the types of products sold?"
The logistics director of the state-owned factory was also an honest man. He said, "You are the first step in the canteen reform. You can do a lot of things first. We can discuss some rules and regulations, categories, etc. later."
With her words, Shen Qingyue finally felt relieved.
The logistics director said, "Oh, there's one more thing. Our state-owned factory uses a meal ticket system. The meal tickets are printed with 10 cents, 20 cents, and 50 cents each. You can use them as money in the cafeteria! You can come to the accounting department once a month to report your expenses."
Fortunately, the logistics director mentioned it, Shen Qingyue had never thought about it.
But then she thought of a practical problem: "Director, we're a small business. If we keep it a month, it's going to be financially difficult. Can you be a little more flexible? For example, we can reimburse 200 yuan a day and reimburse the rest at the end of the month!"
The logistics director is in charge of the logistics of 3,000 people. Even though it was only 1985, the numbers that came through his hands were tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands!
After being in contact with big money for a long time, I was stunned for a moment when I suddenly heard the amount of one or two hundred.
The logistics director was a little embarrassed and said, "If we do this, the pressure on our financial work will increase, but this is your first time in this form, so let's give it a try.
I'll talk to the accountant and ask her to send an apprentice to exchange the meal ticket for you, but it's better to make it an integer so that it's convenient for everyone.
The upper limit is two hundred. The remaining balance will be settled on the last day of the month."
Shen Qingyue immediately stood up and said to the logistics director, "Thank you so much. You're so considerate of us ordinary people. The steel plant is indeed a warm state-owned enterprise."
It was the first time that the logistics director heard such innovative praise.
He looked quite happy and said with a smile, "Okay, now that you're working in the factory, you'll be considered a state-owned factory employee. If you need anything, you can come to me for coordination. I'll mobilize some people to build a small kitchen right now. I hope to see you in the staff cafeteria tomorrow."
"Sure." Shen Qingyue didn't expect it to be so smooth. A relaxed smile appeared on her face.
Shen Qingyue had just left the factory when the bell for the state-owned factory's lunch break rang.
Someone rushed out in a hurry, but when he saw Shen Qingyue, he stopped suddenly and said, "Hey, Miss Shen, are you setting up a stall today?"
"No." Shen Qingyue replied briefly.
The people around him chatted in unison: "When can we buy your lunch box?"
"I'm so used to your boxed lunches that I can't eat anything from the cafeteria."
"That's right, those people in the cafeteria just don't cook properly."
"We really didn't file a complaint."
"Everyone misses you."
"That milk tea, everyone in our department loves it."
In 1985, everyone was quite simple and honest. The thought of the security department colluding with the cafeteria staff to smash Shen Qingyue's stall was shocking.
When I saw Shen Qingyue again, I felt a little inexplicably ashamed!
I want to tell Shen Qingyue quickly how much everyone loves her.
Shen Qingyue was also somewhat moved by this group of enthusiastic people. How could she not make delicious food seriously and give back to everyone?
Shen Qingyue said: "I have a secret. I wanted to surprise you tomorrow, but I really can't hold it in any longer. I'll tell you now!"
The people around asked, "What's wrong?"
"What's the secret?"
Shen Qingyue said: "I have contracted a small window in the cafeteria.
From now on you don’t have to go out to buy it, you can buy it in the cafeteria.
And you can use your meal tickets. Maybe I'll make something interesting instead of just making boxed lunches every day."
When the people around heard this, they said, "That's great." This way, they can eat delicious food without leaving the factory.
You can also use meal tickets.
Meal tickets are distributed as factory welfare. Those who have worked in the factory for a short time are given 15 meal tickets per month. I heard that those who have worked in the factory for a long time are given up to 100 to 200 meal tickets per month.
It can never be used up.
Plus, the food in the cafeteria is terrible, so I saved up a lot of money.
Now that they can use their meal tickets to eat what Shen Qingyue makes, everyone is excited. Rounding it off, it’s like it’s free!
This is great news.
It's good news for Shen Qingyue and for the people in the factory.
But for the people who used to work in the canteen of the state-owned factory, it was devastating news.
During the afternoon working hours, the logistics director led people to build a wall directly in an area of 80 square meters.
He left all the gas tanks on the stove, saying that they were for Shen Qingyue. This will become a special food window in the future.
The state-owned factory's kitchen is huge, with 80 square meters partitioned off, and at least 500 square meters of space left. It doesn't affect their work!
But everyone in the cafeteria felt a little uneasy.
Chef Chen went to jail just to crack down on the lunch stalls, and his competitor actually broke into his business and directly carved out a window!
Everyone was silent, and this wasn't the only piece of bad news.
The kitchen manager noticed their waste problem and said that he would have inspectors come to check every day in the future.
Once it is discovered that the daily waste exceeds 500 yuan, the person in charge will be laid off immediately.
This move was a warning to all the people in the kitchen.
For a time, everyone was in danger, fearing that no one would eat the food they made and it would be wasted, and they would lose their stable job.
No one had time to pay attention to Shen Qingyue, the aggressive foreign enemy.
