But Director Li has two sons and one daughter, all of whom are adults. Director Li doesn't want to alienate his children, so he doesn't dare to find a stepmother immediately after their biological mother dies. Therefore, Director Li has never dared to tell his children about Bai Yueguang, and he wants to wait two years before telling them, so that people will be more accepting.
"That was my relative just now. He twisted his ankle and I came to help. I hope Director Jiang won't say anything nonsense."
His wife died, and he found a second life just six months later. Although it was a bit heartless to his dead wife, Director Li couldn't break the law, so he couldn't do anything about it.
"So that's how it is. Director Li, don't worry. I've never been a talkative person. I can still distinguish between public and private matters." Help me with my official business, and I'll have nothing to do with you anymore.
"Director Li, you are in charge of the distribution of supplies. I was thinking of asking you to go and take a look in a few days if things really don't work out. It just so happens that today is the day. I'll take up 30 minutes of your time. Let's go to the south of the state-owned restaurant together. For the sake of the party, the country, and the people, we should really persist. But if we really can't persist, and we keep dragging our feet and not changing it, affecting the taste and the serving of the food, then we are causing trouble for the party, the country, and the people, don't you think?" It's easy to talk when you're not worried. You have to go today, whether you want to or not.
Director Li also knew that he had not broken the law, but he did not want to cause family conflicts, so he did not dare to lose face for Jiang Shushu. "Okay, since we met by chance, let's go and take a look together. Although we have different opinions, our starting point is for the party, the country, and the people. I hope Director Jiang can understand my difficulties." As long as it can still be used, I will definitely not approve the note.
"It's not easy for everyone, and I certainly understand. This batch of kitchenware should have been replaced a few years ago, but for the sake of the Party, the country, and the people, we persisted. If it weren't for the absolute worst, I wouldn't have caused any trouble for the country without Director Li's advice." You've delayed it year after year, and you have the nerve to delay it again? If you don't replace it for me, just cook for me with a broken pot if you can. I don't believe you're that arrogant.
Director Li smiled awkwardly: "Let's go take a look first, let's go take a look first."
South of the State-owned Restaurant. Ever since Jiang Shushu came to inspect the South of the State-owned Restaurant in person two days ago, he asked Sun Shi to put away the broken plates and bowls that could be put away and put them in a conspicuous place. He used the most broken pot to cook these days.
Sun Shi guessed that Jiang Shushu would make a big move, so if Sun Shi could stay in the south of the state-owned hotel for the next few days, he would stay in the south of the state-owned hotel and not go anywhere else.
Jiang Shushu and his partner arrived at the South of the State-Owned Hotel. As soon as Jiang Shushu entered, he was spotted by Sun Shi. As soon as Sun Shi saw Jiang Shushu, he immediately approached with a smile, "Director Jiang, why are you here?"
When the people in the kitchen saw Jiang Shushu coming and thought of what Sun Shi had told them, they immediately went into hard work mode.
"Didn't you tell me more than ten days ago that the bowls and pans were broken and couldn't be used anymore? I came here specially to see them. This is Director Li, who is in charge of material mobilization. I specially invited him to take a look and see if they meet the standards for replacing them with new ones." Bring out your usual acting skills and use your eloquent tongue to express all your grievances. I've set the stage for you, so just sing better for me.
After Jiang Shushu said this, Sun Shi immediately understood what he meant. Sun Shi looked at Director Li with surprise at first, and then with a face full of grievance. "Director Li, I'm so glad you can come. The pots and pans have been used for more than ten years and are really too worn. They really need to be replaced. No matter how much I say, it's better for you to see it with your own eyes. I will take the two directors to the kitchen to have a look."
Jiang Shushu and the other person came to the kitchen, just when the chef was cooking. The pot was crooked and the chef's posture looked awkward. The hole the size of half a fist was particularly conspicuous, and flames came out from time to time. No one could tell whether the pot was still usable.
Sun Shi: "The hole in this pot is too big to patch up, so we can only make do with it like this. It's hard work for the chef, and his back aches every day after work."
Jiang Shushu: "It's really hard to work in this position." Even after it has come to this, they still don't give me a new pot. This is outrageous.
Director Li was not so easily fooled. "Aren't there two small pots? The other one is even more broken than this one."
"The other one had a crack yesterday. It was patched up, but the bottom of the pot is uneven now. When I'm cooking, the spatula keeps making a rattling sound. I have to use it to cook soupy dishes, and I don't know how long it will last. I'm really worried it will leak."
"Directors, let me show you the dishes."
Jiang Shushu took a quick look and didn't see any good ones, so he was quite satisfied.
Sun Shi continued, "Less than a quarter of them are still usable. In order for the people to have access to better dishes and chopsticks, we have to wash them several times a day. If we are really too busy, we can only make do with these inferior ones."
Director Li opened his mouth to say something, but Jiang Shushu spoke before him. "Cooking on one side and washing dishes on the other is taking up space and getting in the way. It's also bad for people to see and know. It seems unhygienic and unprofessional. What do you think, Director Li?"
Director Li: “…”
"Look at the others, and then look again."
…
Sun Shi then took Jiang Shushu and the other two to look at other soup pots and steamers... They were all full of dents and almost useless, so they would be rejected by junk collectors.
This left Director Li speechless, and even if he did say something, Jiang Shushu would easily refute it.
…
Director Li: "I've seen your situation and I understand it. Don't worry, I'll handle it. I won't disturb you from working."
Jiang Shushu: "Thank you Director Li for accompanying me today. Director Li, please come with me. It's just on our way. Manager Sun, I won't disturb you from working."
Sun Shi had also learned a lesson about Jiang Shushu's strength, and he was much more respectful to Jiang Shushu than before. "Okay, okay, take care, directors."
Director Li: “…” I don’t want to go with you at all. You’re even more difficult to deal with than Lao Qian.
After Jiang Shushu and the others left the State-Owned Hotel South, Jiang Shushu immediately asked shamelessly, "Director Li, with such standards, shouldn't they all be replaced with a new batch? They're too shabby."
"Prepare the application materials tomorrow and I will approve the note."
"Thank you Director Li for your understanding and support. Director Li, don't worry, I will prepare two identical documents tomorrow."
"What do you mean two servings? Isn't it just one?" One serving is already painful enough, and you want two.
Jiang Shushu still had a smile on his face. "Director Li, you're really forgetful. You forgot that there's another state-owned restaurant whose kitchenware was purchased in the same batch as the State-owned Hotel South more than ten years ago. More than ten years have passed, and their condition is the same as the State-owned Hotel South. If we need to replace it, we must replace it together. Otherwise, the two managers will have a fight, right?
Oh, I understand, Director Li, how about we go to the state-owned restaurant again? It's still in time to rush over now, they haven't finished work yet. Don't worry, it definitely meets the standards for replacement, and I will definitely not make things difficult for Director Li.
"No need. Director Jiang just went there, so I trust him. You just need to prepare the information tomorrow." Will you get yourself into trouble if you go there?
