That morning, Chen Jun went to the No. 2 and No. 3 canteens as usual.
It's summer now, and the temperature is quite high, so we need to be extra careful about hygiene in the cafeteria. Fortunately, Chef Li and his team are very responsible, and there haven't been any hygiene issues.
As for Canteen No. 1, Chen Jun didn't go to check it because he stayed there every day and there were no hygiene problems.
Just as Chen Jun was about to return to his office, Factory Director Yang hurriedly came looking for him.
"Chen Jun, prepare a banquet for lunch, the highest standard!"
Highest specification?
Chen Jun asked with some surprise, "Are there any leaders inspecting today?"
Factory Director Yang nodded: "It's Old Liu and his team. They're not just here for an inspection; their main purpose is to commend our steel rolling mill. You'll be in charge of cooking lunch yourself, and there will be an awards ceremony this afternoon."
"By the way, your work in the first half of the year was outstanding, so the factory has decided to award you another advanced individual award."
Outstanding work performance?
Upon hearing this, Chen Jun couldn't help but blush.
If it were last year, he would have made a significant contribution to the cafeteria, not only leading it into a side business but also developing things like dough mixers and instant noodle machines.
But this year, there's nothing in the canteen that needs improvement, so he usually slacks off in the office. You won't find anyone else in the entire steel rolling mill who's more relaxed than him.
"Alright, I'll go check on Director Song first and prepare a top-notch lunch!"
Chen Jun wouldn't refuse the Outstanding Individual Award that was handed to him; he'd rather not refuse it than accept a free lunch, especially since it came with a cash reward.
"Okay, you go ahead and get ready, I'll get busy."
When the leadership team visits, Director Yang has a lot to do, such as arranging the welcoming team and setting up some atmosphere groups. Although it may be flashy and impractical, it is still necessary to have the necessary things.
And so, Chen Jun personally cooked a huge feast for lunch, the aroma of which was incredibly enticing, making Sha Zhu and the others drool with envy, hoping that the leaders would be merciful and leave some leftovers.
After Chen Jun finished his work, Director Yang called him over to have a meal together.
Chen Jun initially wanted to refuse, but upon hearing that Old Liu had something to give him, he took off his apron and went into the private room.
To be honest, today's hospitality was indeed of the highest standard. Director Yang specially prepared a bottle of fine wine and several packs of cigarettes.
Chen Jun had never seen this cigarette packaging before, but it must be expensive.
Old Liu smiled and waved to Chen Jun: "Come, sit here."
Chen Jun nodded, and as soon as he sat down, Old Liu introduced him to some of the leaders present: "This is Comrade Chen Jun, the canteen director of the steel rolling mill. He is the one who invented the dough mixer and instant noodles."
After saying that, Old Liu said to Chen Jun, "The things you've researched have already been patented for you."
Holy crap?!
Chen Jun was shocked upon hearing this.
He didn't expect that the higher-ups had started to pay attention to these things and even helped him register a patent.
what does that mean?
This means that these things can continuously bring me wealth in the future.
Furthermore, you can add these things to your resume. Although they may not seem like much now, they will be of great use in the future.
"Thank you, boss!"
Chen Jun smiled and nodded at Old Liu, looking grateful.
Old Liu then waved to someone nearby and handed a small roll of paper to Chen Jun.
What kind of reward is this?
Chen Jun muttered to himself, took the scroll with both hands, and unfolded it. There were eight large characters written on it.
A good comrade who is good at studying.
These eight characters are written with bold, dynamic lines, clearly the work of a master calligrapher.
Just as Chen Jun was about to marvel at these eight large characters, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a few smaller characters in the lower right corner, among which the two characters "Desheng" startled him.
"this......."
Chen Jun's eyes suddenly widened as he looked at Old Liu in disbelief.
"That's right, he also knows about your situation and praised you for your diligence," Old Liu said with some envy.
The other leaders present also felt envious.
You should know that this is his calligraphy. To have this calligraphy is to have his approval. Framing it and hanging it at home is no exaggeration to call it a talisman for protecting the family.
"This...this..."
Factory Director Yang leaned over for a look and immediately started stammering.
Chen Jun... sigh, Chen Jun is so lucky!
All the words in the world could be summed up in one sentence: Director Yang's envy was beyond words.
Old Liu patted Chen Jun on the shoulder and said seriously, "Make sure you keep it safe!"
"Um!"
Chen Jun nodded vigorously.
Today's surprise was truly enormous; he never expected to be so lucky.
Save it!
You must keep this safe!
If circumstances allowed, Chen Jun would have liked to put it into the system space right now.
Although he himself might not care about these things, Chen Jun cares about them very much. It's no exaggeration to say that this calligraphy is more precious than anything else!
"The instant noodles you developed are very popular with the Russians. The higher-ups have decided to expand several instant noodle factories, not only for domestic sales but also for export to earn foreign exchange!"
While eating, Old Liu chatted with Chen Jun in between meals.
But Chen Jun's attention was entirely focused on the calligraphy; he didn't care much about expanding the instant noodle factory.
"There's also a 1,000 yuan bonus, which the factory will give you."
"Um!"
Chen Jun remained the same as before. Seeing this, Old Liu couldn't help but smile, knowing that Chen Jun was still immersed in shock and elation, so he didn't chat with him anymore.
Instant noodles may seem like nothing special, but they have a different meaning at this time.
For example, the Russians are lacking these things.
There are also dough mixers and instant noodle machines, which can be sold to foreigners; they are good things that benefit the country and its people.
......
Around 4 p.m., the square in front of the steel rolling mill was packed with people.
At the mid-year meeting, everyone except some machine operators attended.
After several years of development and expansion, the steel rolling mill has now become a large-scale factory with over 10,000 employees.
Director Yang stood on the stage, holding a large megaphone.
"Comrades at the steel rolling mill, thanks to our unremitting efforts, we not only exceeded our targets in the first half of the year, but also achieved first place in Beijing in terms of innovation."
"All of this is inseparable from your hard work. The leaders are very satisfied with our enthusiasm, so they have increased our salaries and benefits!"
Upon hearing this, the workers present instantly became excited.
I originally thought it would be the same as before: the leader would give a speech, then commend some representatives, and finally give out some rewards, such as rice, flour, and oil.
But unexpectedly, this time the welfare benefits were improved, and for everyone!
Anyone can get a reward, how could they not be excited?!
