Chapter 169 Canteen Tendering
She weighed it in her palm for a few times, and was basically certain that there was something wrong with the gold bracelet.
She glanced at Zhang Dongmei with a complicated expression: "Are you sure your boyfriend is really a wealthy businessman from Hong Kong?"
During this period, some wealthy businessmen from Hong Kong did come to the mainland to develop their business, but they were rare.
"Of course. What's the matter? Are you jealous of me finding such a rich partner?"
Zhang Dongmei snatched back her gold bracelet and said, "You look so ignorant. It's just a gold bracelet. You can't even pull your eyeballs out of it."
As she spoke, she put the bracelet back on her wrist.
He shook it proudly and said, "My boyfriend said he would give me a diamond ring when we get married."
So what if Su Xiaoxiao is close to Zhou Cheng?
He is just a battalion commander, how much allowance can he get in a month?
It's not like her at all. She wants to be a wealthy businessman's wife in the future.
Su Xiaoxiao stared at her gold bracelet, then silently looked away without saying a word.
I thought it was 999 pure gold, but it turned out to be 666.
However, even if she told Zhang Dongmei this, she probably wouldn't believe it. She might even think that she was jealous and made up a lie.
Anyway, she had just reminded me, so it was not her fault if she didn't have any brains.
I just hope Zhang Dongmei can be more low-key and stop showing off.
After three o'clock, there were not many people in the department store. Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Su Xiaoxiao packed up her things and went to find Xu Cuilan.
The two took the bus together to the city center.
Xu Cuilan was indignant all the way. "I don't know which blind leader arranged such a wicked thing to come in. Isn't this just cheating me?"
"I can't stand it, even if it's Director Song's relative, for using rotten vegetable leaves and lymphatic meat as inferior goods."
It’s a pity that there aren’t many customers on weekdays in the afternoon. What should I do if it’s the weekend?
More than half of the salespeople had stomach problems.
Normally, Xu Cuilan didn't want to confront her superiors head-on, but what she did today was really unfair.
When she first talked about setting up a company cafeteria, she suggested publicly selecting capable people to contract the cafeteria.
Who knew that the higher-ups would make the final decision and insert a guy who was said to be the brother-in-law of some leader.
Xu Cuilan gets angry whenever this matter is mentioned. Today she went to find Manager Zhao, the person in charge of the cafeteria, to argue with him, but he actually threatened her, saying that he would let her relatives give her a hard time.
It really pissed her off.
Su Xiaoxiao listened to her nagging all the way. The bus finally stopped and the two of them hurriedly squeezed out.
The previous time I met Director Song was in a department store, and it was her first time to visit the Municipal Government.
This building looks much more imposing than other places.
However, they didn't come to admire the house.
The two went straight to Director Song's office on the top floor.
I arrived just in time. Director Song was about to leave work with his briefcase. As soon as he closed the office door, he turned around and saw two people standing behind him. He was startled.
"Why are you two here? Is there something wrong?"
Director Song's eyes swept over the two of them and finally landed on Su Xiaoxiao.
Xu Cuilan said hurriedly: "Director Song, we came here to talk to you about the new cafeteria."
"canteen?"
Director Song frowned and opened the door. "Come in and talk."
The two looked at each other and followed him into the room.
"Director Song, I have always been obedient to the arrangements of our leaders, but this cafeteria incident concerns all employees of the department store. I have no choice but to come to you."
Hearing her tone, Director Song knew that something must have happened in the cafeteria. His face darkened and he said, "Just tell me what's going on."
Upon hearing this, Xu Cuilan glanced at Su Xiaoxiao and motioned her to continue.
Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to step forward and tell him everything that happened that afternoon.
"Director Song, after the incident, I immediately went to find the person in charge of the cafeteria, but he said he had already consulted with his superiors about this matter. What do you think..."
"Everything else is fine, but the food is unhygienic and the employees are all suffering from stomach problems. How can we continue working? Today is just diarrhea, but if there's another round of food poisoning tomorrow, it will be troublesome."
Director Song's face darkened as he listened, and he immediately dialed the internal line: "Secretary Wang, please come over here right now. I have something to ask you."
A few minutes later, Secretary Wang knocked on the door and came in, panting. When he saw Su Xiaoxiao and Xu Cuilan standing in the office, his face immediately turned ugly.
If it weren't for these two people, how could his daughter be fired by the department store? This incident made him lose face in the staff housing complex.
Wang Lili also stayed indoors for a long time because of this incident.
His eyes slid across the two of them like a knife. He glared at Su Xiaoxiao fiercely, then forced a smile and looked at Director Song.
"Director, I wonder what you want me to do?"
Director Song pointed at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiao Su, repeat what just happened to him."
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao immediately repeated what happened in the cafeteria.
Secretary Wang's face turned pale after hearing this. Was his brother-in-law planning to kill him? A little bit of embezzlement was fine, but using rotten vegetable leaves and lymphatic meat directly was too blatant.
This idiot, I shouldn't have gone to so much trouble to arrange him in.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Director Song, I really don't know about this matter."
"I also conducted an assessment according to the procedures at the time, and several of the responsible persons under me met with each other. Now that this has happened, I feel very guilty. I should have conducted more investigations at the time."
"Director Song, since this has already happened, our top priority is to find a way to solve the cafeteria's dining problem. How about this: from now on, all their purchase orders must pass the higher-ups' review, and the ingredients will need to be regularly inspected. I think we should let Manager Xu handle this..."
Seeing that he was about to let the matter go after just a few words, Xu Cuilan spoke softly, "Manager Zhao, the canteen manager, swore to me that he has someone above him and that offending him would lead to bad consequences. Director Song, you see, I'm just a small HR manager. I don't dare to get involved in this matter."
Director Song slammed his hand on the table. "He's such a big shot for a canteen contractor! I want to see who's above him. Secretary Song will give you two days to get to the bottom of this matter."
"Also, the canteen contractor definitely needs to be replaced. Do you have any good suggestions?"
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Su Xiaoxiao. This girl had a lot of clever ideas, so he could ask her opinion.
"Xiao Su, what do you think we should do about the canteen contract?"
Su Xiaoxiao didn't expect to be called by Director Song suddenly, and she stood up straight in a hurry.
She thought for a moment and said, "Director Song, how about we hold a canteen contract bidding?"
