Jiang Shushu seemed not to notice the reactions of the three people. "Good morning, everyone. I will be chairing today's meeting and will continue to be the chairperson in the future."
Sun Shi feigned ignorance. "What's this? Where's Director Qian?" Jiang Shushu was young, and his words weren't necessarily thoughtful. What if Jiang Shushu said something wrong? It could cause resentment among Old Zheng, and cause a rift in their relationship. If their relationship was good, any future benefits or rewards would be given priority to Old Zheng by Jiang Shushu. Then Old Zhao and I would be in big trouble!
"You should also know that Director Qian will retire at the end of the month. The original plan was to promote Deputy Director Qin, but plans cannot keep up with changes. Due to work needs, Deputy Director Qin was urgently transferred to another province to work. Now I will temporarily take over Director Qian's job. Due to emergencies and a huge workload, I haven't had time to inform you." Jiang Shushu said this mainly to Zheng Dayong, so that Zheng Dayong would not think that Jiang Shushu would not take him seriously as soon as he took the position.
"Originally, Director Qian was supposed to hold this meeting, and I was learning from the side. But Director Qian said that the three of you are his capable men, and you are thorough and thorough in your work. He is confident in you, so he asked me to come and gain some experience." If you dare to cause trouble for me, you are neither giving me face nor Director Qian face.
Sun Shi: "..." I underestimated her. It turns out that those who can climb up are not simple. I will act according to the circumstances in the future.
Sun Shi smiled and said, "I see. Let me congratulate Director Jiang on your promotion in advance. We will definitely cooperate with you on your work."
Zheng Dayong: "..." This fence-sitter is really flexible. This kind of shamelessness is something that ordinary people can't learn.
Zhao Jun: "..." This little girl can get along well. As long as she is fair and doesn't cause me trouble, I, Old Zhao, will cooperate with her. But if she is narrow-minded and likes to be partial, don't blame me for standing on the same side with Old Sun.
Zheng Dayong and Zhao Jun also congratulated.
Then Zheng Dayong and the other two gave a summary report on the situation on their side, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Sun Shi saw that Jiang Shushu was easy to talk to and his words were well-reasoned. The thoughts that had been suppressed before came up again, and he brought up the old topic again.
Sun Shi kicked Zhao Jun next to him, blocked the attack with his hand, tilted his head, winked, and silently said one word, "Pot."
Although it is said that a new official has three major tasks to do upon taking office, it is also the time for Jiang Shushu to show her abilities. Now that she is looking for something to do, she will definitely do her best and find ways to help us get it done. How about we do it together?
Zhao Jun's expression didn't change, but he secretly made a gesture under the table, telling Sun Shi, you go ahead, I'll cooperate.
Sun Shi: "..." This idiot always loves to show off. He helps me when it's beneficial, but if the situation isn't right, he'll definitely be a coward. If the pot in my kitchen wasn't seriously broken, I would have fought you. It's really infuriating.
Jiang Shushu sat there, watching Sun Shi's little movements, pretending not to see anything, and just went about his business. Jiang Shushu could probably guess what Sun Shi was doing, but if he didn't raise the issue, he would have to figure it out on his own. I couldn't have a superior like him chasing after him.
After finishing the work report, Sun Shi, a grown man, looked embarrassed, and his straight back bent several degrees. "Director Jiang? I know you have just taken over the work and are busy. I didn't want to cause you trouble. We can overcome it ourselves, but we really can't overcome it anymore. I'm afraid that one day we will have to close down accidentally..." Sun Shi covered his face with his hands sadly, but he was saying in his heart, ask me quickly, ask me quickly.
As soon as Zheng Dayong saw Sun Shi's tricks, he knew what he was up to. He looked at Jiang Shushu with a hint of worry.
After all, this is not the first time that the issue of replacing pots and pans has been mentioned. In the past, Director Qian always evaded the issue and delayed it as much as possible. This proves that this matter is not so easy to solve. Xiao Jiang has just taken office, so how could he possibly find a way to solve it? Xiao Jiang will probably have a headache about this matter by then.
Zhao Jun took the time to glance at Jiang Shushu and found that her expression did not change. He felt a little confused. Zhao Jun decided to keep silent and wait and see.
"Manager Sun, if you have any questions, please tell me. We can discuss and solve it together." Is he really that open-minded? He really doesn't care about his image at all. Is this how Sun Shi usually asks Director Qian for pots and pans?
"Those pots and pans in the south kitchen of our state-owned restaurant have been used for more than ten years. No matter how carefully we take care of them, they can't withstand their old age. Most of those bowls and dishes are chipped, and some are cracked. Those pots have been patched again and again, and I can't even count the patches. The wok my chef uses for cooking has a hole half the size of a fist. He has to cook sideways every time, and sometimes flames can even shoot up from the hole..." Sun Shi vividly portrayed their hard work and difficulties, making people feel sad just by listening.
Sun Shi originally wanted to exaggerate and speak more poignantly to earn Jiang Shushu's tears and make her feel embarrassed to refuse him again. Even if she couldn't give him a whole set, half or one-third would be fine. Unexpectedly, as he was speaking, Sun Shi thought of the difficulties he had faced in the past and started to cry first.
Zhao Jun also experienced this: those pots were always broken, sometimes requiring someone to hold them constantly to prevent them from leaking. It was okay in the winter, but in the summer it was a real pain. Chefs had to change their cooking and chopping techniques every once in a while, otherwise the dish wouldn't make it out of the pot.
Zhao Jun felt sympathy for Jiang Shushu's expression and immediately agreed with her, also telling her about the difficulties he faced in his state-owned restaurant.
Zheng Dayong, who had replaced a batch of new kitchen utensils a few years ago, did not speak and continued to remain silent, because no matter what he said now, it would be wrong.
Jiang Shushu didn't speak immediately, but pretended to lower his head in thought, which whetted everyone's appetite.
Sun Shi: "..." What's going on? Speak up, it's really frustrating. I've said so much, you're not going to be like Director Qian and give me nothing, right?
Zhao Jun: “…” If he hadn’t refused immediately, perhaps there might have been a different result.
"I've heard about the issues you've raised, but our country advocates frugality, and supplies are scarce, so it's not easy to replace things. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been delayed until now. Director Qian would have replaced them for you long ago."
Sun Shi, Zhao Jun: "..." It's still the same, all I said was in vain.
"I understand your difficulties. I will pay attention to this matter and do my best to resolve it. I will give you an answer at the next meeting. Today's meeting ends here."
