151 First Staff Meeting

Aunt Zhong and Xia Zhiqiu each posted a couplet and opened the factory's iron gate. A string of firecrackers hung on the iron gate was lit, and the first employee was welcomed with the crackling sound of firecrackers.

The upright Dong Shengping walked through the smoke and stepped on the red paper scraps. The last piece of red paper fell on his head. Su Taotao pointed at his head and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Comrade Dong Shengping, you won the jackpot." Dong Shengping

smiled and brushed off the paper scraps on his head: "Good morning, everyone."

Even after retiring, Dong Shengping still maintained the self-discipline and punctuality of a soldier and arrived at the factory first.

The design of the food factory security booth is different from other places. There is only a small pavilion or house. Su Taotao designed it as a small reception room with a lounge and a bathroom. Family members who come to wait for people or children who come to find adults can take a rest here if it is inconvenient to go in.

Aunt Zhong said, "Shengping, you are here. This is where you will work in the future. You can get familiar with it first."

Dong Shengping was a little surprised to see this design.

"You don't need to stand guard. You can rest inside on weekdays. You can see the situation outside from the window." Su Taotao said.

The good office environment was beyond Dong Shengping's expectation. He nodded and said, "Okay."

Then, smiling faces came one after another. Dong Shengping stood on the stone pier of the guard booth and memorized these faces carefully.

At 9:50, the first batch of workers from the food factory, together with three leading teams, a total of 38 people, except for Xiao Lu, a non-staff member who went to follow up on supplies, arrived ten minutes early.

In the auditorium, Su Taotao looked at the smiling faces full of hope and passion, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously.

Then she thought of Lao Gao's team. A strong team requires the quality of personnel. It is necessary to be united, and it also requires a leader with strong cohesion like Lao Gao to lead everyone to go further and higher.

Xia Zhiqiu called the roll one by one according to the roster, and the sound of "here" echoed in the sky above the auditorium.

Aunt Zhong and Xia Zhiqiu gave each employee a notebook and a pen, which were prepared by Su Taotao and Xiao Lu in advance.

As for the illiterate employees, Su Taotao plans to open a literacy class in the future, and strive to make everyone able to speak, listen and write without any obstacles.

"Report to Director Su, the first employee meeting of the food factory, 38 people should have attended, and 38 people actually attended, all of them are here."

Su Taotao nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Secretary Xia. First of all, on behalf of the food factory, I welcome everyone to join. Everyone has met us during the interviews. Let me introduce myself briefly. My name is Su Taotao, the founder and director of the food factory."

"Secretary and Director of the Finance Department Xia Zhiqiu, Director of the Personnel and Logistics Department Zhong Xiumei, and Director of the Security Department and Attendance Supervisor Dong Shengping. Except for a few of us and the two teachers of the Yuhong class, the rest of the staff will temporarily go to the front line to be responsible for production."

"After that, we will promote you based on your personal performance and work ability, gradually improve and optimize the factory's personnel structure, increase productivity, and generate income for the base."

Dong Shengping was stunned when he heard his title, then he smiled knowingly, the factory director was thoughtful.

Su Taotao continued, "Everyone present here is the first batch of outstanding talents who have been selected through layers of screening. When the factory first started, you were assigned to the front-line production. As the factory grows bigger and stronger, you are all reserve cadres and backbone personnel. I hope that in the future, you will all become leaders of the factory and contribute to its development.

I also hope that everyone will truly respect their jobs, be dedicated to their work, and work together to make progress together with the factory towards glory."

"In addition, the purpose of setting up the Yuhong class is to allow everyone to work without worries. Families with children who are not yet of primary school age can go to Auntie Zhong to register and send them to the Yuhong class. The Yuhong class charges a symbolic fee of five dollars per year, which will be deducted from the salary on a monthly basis."

"Finally, let Secretary Xia give you a brief pre-job training. The labor contract will be signed at 2 pm, and you will officially start work at 8 am on Monday. There will be on-the-job training at that time, and then we will make corresponding division of labor according to your situation. That's all. Thank you."

Su Taotao spoke completely impromptu, without a long speech that makes people drowsy, nor a high-spirited speech. His words were meaningful and to the point. No one disliked such a leader's speech.

Thunderous applause rang out, and Su Taotao made a gesture of invitation to Xia Zhiqiu.

Xia Zhiqiu nodded, walked to the podium, and began to give everyone pre-job training including safety production, food hygiene management requirements, dress requirements, standard operating requirements, etc. In addition, he also gave relevant defense and self-help popular science about the stampede that almost happened before.

Like Su Taotao, Xia Zhiqiu only highlighted the key points and did not waste too much time.

Aunt Zhong also went on stage and said a few simple words.

Aunt Zhong's speech surprised Su Taotao. She was serious and reliable. She looked like a stereotyped old cadre on the stage, which was very different from her usual image. There was no superfluous nonsense in her speech, and she just said what she wanted to say.

Director Zhong's image as a veteran cadre was well captured. After this speech, anyone who saw her would definitely call her "Director Zhong" with true feelings.

In this way, the entire meeting took only one hour.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, the first staff meeting of the food factory ended successfully.

Ps: There will be another update in the afternoon. Momo, this
