After seeing Director Pei off, Chen Jun went back to the kitchen to get busy.
There have been too many things to do in the cafeteria recently. Not only does he have to keep an eye on the work in the three cafeterias, but he also has to prepare the daily receptions. He can only barely find some free time in the afternoon.
Fortunately, the busy days did not last too long. We were busy until the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow we can have a six-day annual holiday.
Everyone in the cafeteria was very excited today. In addition to some New Year gifts and tickets distributed by the factory, the cafeteria was rewarded with an extra five kilograms of meat because of its outstanding performance and excellent results in the past year, as well as high worker satisfaction.
It’s five kilograms per person. With this meat, we don’t need to buy extra meat during the New Year.
In the afternoon, Sha Zhu took the lead in cleaning the cafeteria inside and out, and then returned to the kitchen to report to Chen Jun.
"Good job. If nothing unexpected happens, I can get off work early today." Chen Jun glanced at the clean kitchen. Even the stove was wiped clean, which showed that the cleaning was done very carefully.
"Well, we are all on vacation, what should we do with those little piglets in the pigpen?" Sha Zhu scratched his head in embarrassment.
The fattened pigs had been slaughtered and the meat divided, but there were still a few piglets left. These piglets were only a few months old, and it would be a pity to kill them, so they were kept.
"Whoever is responsible should take responsibility and make time to come to the factory every day." Chen Jun said casually.
The steel rolling mill said it had a six-year annual holiday, but that didn't mean there was no one left in the factory. Just like in the production workshops, someone had to be on duty every day, even on New Year's Day.
Of course, those who come on duty are all young people, and the old masters don’t need to come.
"Okay, then I'll tell Qin Huairu." Sha Zhu responded and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Although the cafeteria has been very busy recently, Sha Zhu and his friends have gained several pounds.
There was no way. There were too many treats and they couldn't finish them at all. As a result, Sha Zhu and the others stopped eating the big pot meals at noon. They were all waiting for the lunch treats to be over so that they could pack up another treat when they got off work in the evening.
It can be said that what they eat these days is better than during the Chinese New Year.
Seeing Sha Zhu going to arrange the work in the pigpen, Chen Jun strolled to the other two canteens.
According to convention, he not only had to check the finishing work in the cafeteria, but also had to hold a small symbolic meeting. Chen Jun felt that holding a meeting was too troublesome, so after checking the work, he simply went back to the office and lay down.
Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Sha Zhu and the others were sitting on chairs chatting, but Qin Huairu was the only one with a sullen face, as if she had been cheated out of two hundred dollars.
As everyone was chatting, Sha Zhu suddenly pricked up his ears and said something out of the blue.
Soon everyone heard footsteps, and judging from the noise, there were at least two or three people.
It’s broken! It’s broken!
Could it be that they want to add some last-minute entertainment?
No, they have already cleaned the kitchen thoroughly, even wiped off the dust from the bottom of the pots. If there is another reception, they will have to keep someone to clean it again.
After working overtime for so many days in a row, they are all looking forward to going home and resting early.
Unfortunately, what they feared came true. A few seconds later, they saw Director Yang striding into the cafeteria with his secretary.
"Oh, you did a good job on the finishing touches. The sanitation is very clean."
Director Yang nodded with satisfaction and praised Sha Zhu and others.
But when he looked at the expressions of Sha Zhu and the others, Director Yang couldn't help but feel puzzled.
What's going on?
Why are they all looking at me like this?
I'll praise you a few words, but at least give me some reaction!
Liu Lan was straightforward and asked directly, "Director, are you here to entertain me again?"
Before the end of the year, the people in the kitchen were looking forward to some treats so that they could satisfy their cravings, but they have been so busy lately that they are not so keen on entertaining anymore.
Director Yang knew what was going on when he heard this, so he smiled and waved his hand: "Seeing how nervous you all are, there will be no treat today. You will have a day off after get off work."
"Phew...you scared me!" Sha Zhu grinned and felt relieved.
"Where is your Director Chen?" asked Director Yang.
Sha Zhu pointed in the direction of the canteen director's office: "Our director has returned to the office."
Director Yang nodded and went to find Chen Jun with his secretary.
When he arrived at the door, Director Yang pushed the door open and walked in without knocking. Then he caught a glimpse of Chen Jun lying on a chair reading a book.
Chen Jun glanced at Director Yang and silently turned the book over.
If it weren't for his amazing hearing, Director Yang would have definitely seen the phone.
I don’t know when he developed this bad habit of not even knocking on the door!
"Director, you are not here to inform me to serve as a receptionist, are you?" Chen Jun's guess was the same as Sha Zhu's.
Director Yang smiled and shook his head, then walked to another recliner, touched the material of the recliner with his hand, and then tried to lie down.
"Hey, you know what, this chair is quite comfortable. Where did you buy it? How much is it?"
"It's free. Director Song typed it himself."
Um?
This statement surprised Director Yang.
"Director Song has this skill? Not bad, not bad. After the New Year, I'll have him make one for me." After adjusting his lying position, Director Yang continued, "I asked you to come here because I have something good to tell you."
"Mr. Liu invited us to see a movie, drink tea, and play chess." After a pause, Director Yang raised his wrist to check the time. "We'll leave at 5:30. Mr. Liu's driver will pick us up."
Watch a movie and drink tea?
Chen Jun couldn't help but twitch his face when he heard that.
After half past five, is that time for tea and movies? That’s time for dinner!
"No time, I have to go shopping with my wife."
Chen Jun refused directly. It was easy to guess what he was going to do.
There might be a movie or tea break, but before that I would definitely have to work in the kitchen for an hour.
"Let's go find Director Song. He's been making his wife angry lately, so he needs some tea to cool down."
"Huh? How can that be possible? Old Liu specifically asked you to go. Even if others wanted to see him, they haven't had the chance yet!" Director Yang's heart skipped a beat, but he appeared calm on the surface. "Besides, Old Liu has always treated you like a junior. Chinese New Year is almost here, so maybe he'll give you a big red envelope."
"This is Mr. Liu's red envelope!"
As a veteran in the workplace, Director Yang immediately started the sweet date mode.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jun didn't say a word at all, as if he didn't hear it.
The two of them remained silent for a minute, but in the end, Director Yang lost his patience.
"Well, Chinese New Year is coming in a few days. Is there anything missing at home?"
I've made it very clear. Your trip will not be in vain, and your work will not be in vain. The factory will give you benefits.
Seeing this, Chen Jun smiled and said, "Didn't I ask you about bicycle tickets a few months ago?"
"Now, do you have any tickets?"
