In the following days, Chen Xia was busy with the logistical support for the sports meeting.
In this regard, he learned from his previous life's experience. During the sports meeting, young employees who did not have any competitions could sign up to become "volunteers."
The volunteers are divided into groups to take care of specific athletes, including taking care of their clothing, providing meals, and reminding them of game times and schedules.
For this purpose, Chen Xia specially went to the Kezhen Garment Factory to order a batch of T-shirts. The upper left corner of the front was printed with "Yuezhou Fourth Hospital" and the three big words "Volunteer" were printed on the back. The color of the clothes was the most conspicuous light green, which was particularly eye-catching and guaranteed to be noticed by athletes at first sight.
The athletes' uniforms were ordinary, all dark blue with two stripes, made of the same fabric used for long underwear and autumn clothes. In Chen Xia's opinion, they were extremely ugly.
But you know what, this outfit looks particularly youthful and lively on Gu Lin.
Well, it seems that whether it is ugly or not has a lot to do with who wears it.
In the General Affairs Department, Chen Xia gathered his subordinates for a meeting.
As for food, Chen Xia planned to have Wei Daqiang lead the team to the cafeteria of Chengqu No. 1 Middle School. Each person would receive two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, all in boxed meals. Athletes and volunteers would share the same standard; a full stomach would provide the energy for competition.
Wei Daqiang had never made this kind of "fast food" before, and asked unconfidently:
"Chief, I have never made fast food. How should we do it? What is the standard for each meal?" Wei Daqiang asked seriously, holding a notebook in one hand.
Chen Xia: "Stupid, what do our employees like to eat the most?"
Wei Daqiang thought for a moment and said, "Braised pork."
"Yes, that's what you should do. The sports meet will last for three days, so we mainly need to prepare three lunches. The standard lunch is two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes. The vegetable dishes are easy to solve, but the meat car must have one portion of braised pork and one portion of braised fish. With both fish and meat, it is guaranteed to satisfy everyone.
Also, don't skimp on the pickled mustard greens, shredded pork, and egg soup. Leave a big pot there so anyone can help themselves. Don't forget the fruit after the meal, either. My company is giving out some goodies, so I'll just buy a few extra.
Another thing is that breakfast and dinner are eaten at the hospital, so during the sports meet, the cafeteria breakfast must be rich in variety, especially steamed meat buns. Dinner can be simple, as the athletes don't necessarily eat in the hospital.
Wei Daqiang wrote down some notes on a piece of paper and asked, "But Chief, if we eat like this, there won't be enough pork or fish. Can you tell the supply and marketing cooperative? Besides, the budget will definitely be exceeded."
"I'll take care of the pork and fish, and you'll be responsible for cooking the dishes. Count how many people are eating every day, so that if someone doesn't have enough to eat, I'll dock your salary."
After Chen Xia finished explaining the catering, he looked at Wei Hongxing from the transportation team.
"Red Star, you'll be arranging transportation to and from the Games. Be sure to pay attention to safety during the morning and evening pick-ups. All supplies will be transported by boat and motorbike, and all personnel will ride in large trucks. Don't let your car break down en route. If you're unable to compete, I'll definitely skin you alive."
Wei Hongxing stood up and puffed out his chest, just like he did in the army: "Please rest assured, Chief, I will ensure that the task is completed."
Chen Xia looked at the deputy section chief, Yu Hong, and said, "Sister Yu, you will be personally responsible for these volunteers. You female comrades are more attentive. If there are any shortcomings, you can arrange them."
Yu Hong also took on the task with a smile.
After Chen Xia finished arranging everything, he stretched and thought of something, "Sheng Qingyun, are you from Ruan San Village next door?"
"Yes, Chief."
"Then I'll give you a task. Go to the village and find me 10 strong laborers. Tomorrow, they'll help carry, weigh, and pack the fruit. I'll pay them 2 yuan each."
The people in the General Affairs Department on site shouted in surprise, "Chief, are the mangoes and pineapples you brought here?"
"Yes, the fruit is on the way and will arrive tomorrow. You all should notify the hospital office, and have the office notify other units so that our employees can also prepare. The sweet and fragrant big mangoes will be available to eat tomorrow."
The next morning, the yard was full of large trucks, all of which were from various units coming to receive fruits. Everyone's neck was stretched out, looking at the Fourth Hospital Wharf. Time passed too slowly.
After a while, the staff upstairs saw two large motorboats approaching from afar, and Chen Xia stood at the bow and waved to everyone.
All the unemployed employees were excitedly crowding at the dock waiting for the arrival of the fruits. The excitement was even more enthusiastic than distributing welfare benefits during the Chinese New Year.
Everyone has eaten melon seeds and peanuts, so it’s nothing special, but this is the first time I’ve eaten the legendary mango, papaya, and black pineapple.
Especially after hearing those people from the infectious disease department and the general affairs department who had tasted it in advance describe how delicious it was, everyone couldn't wait any longer.
Two motorboats set out in the middle of the night to transport the fruit to the provincial capital. The motorboats were hired, and the porters were also temporary. These people had no idea where the fruit came from or why it was piled up at the abandoned dock by the river. For them, as long as they were paid, they were happy to work.
Chen Xia jumped ashore and said to Dean Gu with a smile, "Comrade Dean, I have brought all the fruits. Please accept them."
Looking at the bags of fruit in the hold, everyone's mouths were watering. Gu Wei smiled and patted Chen Xia's shoulder. He deliberately said loudly in front of everyone:
"Thank you for your hard work. Everyone, tell me, is our Section Chief Chen competent for his job?"
"Competent, absolutely competent," the employees responded enthusiastically.
Now everyone knew that as long as Chen Xia remained the head of the General Affairs Section, he would never have to worry about a comfortable life. Anyone who wanted to cause trouble for Chen Xia was causing trouble for the staff of the Fourth Hospital.
An old fox and a little fox smiled at each other after hearing the employees' reactions, and everything was said without words.
Chen Xia thought that just because of Old Man Gu's unremitting support for him, he must feed Comrade Gu Lin well in the future.
The heads of the General Affairs Departments of several hospitals came in person to receive the fruit and brought the remaining payment. Seeing the two large boatloads of fruit, everyone had only one word for Chen Xia: "Admiration."
They are all insiders in the industry and understand how difficult it is to transport so many fruits from Ruili City, Nanyun Province, thousands of kilometers away, and to ensure that the fruits do not rot. In any case, they think they can't do it.
After the fruit was loaded onto the truck, Jiang Fu from the Second Hospital and several other general affairs section chiefs shook Chen Xia's hand tightly and expressed their sincere gratitude:
"Section Chief Chen, I won't say anything more. Next time you come to our hospitals, we'll definitely treat you to a drink. Thank you so much this time. We'll be leaving now. The staff are still waiting to get some fruit."
Chen Xia also smiled and waved goodbye to the reception staff from several hospitals.
This Dragon Boat Festival benefit established Chen Xia's reputation in the health system and also made him a considerable fortune in the future.
