Zheng Fei agreed with a smile, "Yes, we have to follow the policy. We must never do anything that is not in line with the policy. Those wedding banquets should be cancelled." Sun Shi and he are good friends. Between Zheng Dayong and Sun Shi, he would definitely prefer Sun Shi to stay.
Zheng Dayong snorted inwardly. "I'll give up your head, and I'll give up yours. Aren't you just jealous of my wedding banquet?" He said it in a high-sounding manner. Don't think I'll lose if I do this. The performance gap between me and Sun Shi is only 250 yuan, and there's only one month left. I don't believe I'll lose. Not only will I not lose, I'll also dethrone you, Zheng Fei, from second place. Then I'll make you two fight each other. I'll see how you can continue to collude with each other.
Zheng Dayong ignored the sarcastic remarks of Sun Shi and Zheng Fei and said to Qian Aibing, "Director, you know me well. I have loved the country and the Party since I was a child. I always follow the Party's instructions. I dare say that if the Party tells me to go east, I will definitely not go west."
The other four managers were speechless: "..." This shameless guy really knows how to flatter himself. Even at this point, he still doesn't forget to flatter.
Qian Aiguo nodded with a smile, "Dayong is indeed patriotic and loves the party." Dayong said so much, which must be related to the rest of his wedding banquet. As long as Dayong's request is not excessive and his reasons are impeccable, he will turn a blind eye.
"Director, I organized that wedding banquet earlier to contribute to population development. I'm also aware of recent policy changes. Director, you often instruct us to follow the Party. I always remember that, so I haven't accepted any wedding banquets recently (actually, I haven't accepted any at all), for fear of not keeping up with the Party's pace and embarrassing you."
Qian Aibing was very happy to be praised in public: the latest policy emphasizes equality for all and prohibits capitalism. He had originally planned to talk about it during the meeting, but before he could even open his mouth, one or two of them spoke first, and each of them thought about what he thought and worried about what he worried about. Not bad, they were all good.
Qian Aibing was delighted and praised him generously. "Dayong did a great job. He was very thoughtful."
"Director, this is what I should do. I understand the principle of sharing weal and woe. I won't accept any more wedding banquets in the future. But I still have two wedding banquets on hand, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I hope to finish them. After all, these two wedding banquets were scheduled a month ago, and we can't just say no to them. Besides, a day as important as a wedding can't be changed at will. Friends and relatives of both parties have been notified and have asked for leave. If I ask them to cancel, there will be a big quarrel." The two wedding banquets were saved, and at least I can earn almost 100 yuan more, which greatly increases the chances of winning.
Sun Shi was unhappy when he heard this. There was already a shortfall of 250 yuan, and after holding these two wedding banquets, the shortfall would be more than 300 yuan. He absolutely could not let Zheng Dayong do it.
"It's a policy requirement, and we have no other options. I believe they will understand. We have to cancel it if it needs to be cancelled. What if the Revolutionary Committee comes knocking on our door in the next couple of days, or if the people think we're being treated specially? What will we do then? We can't lose the big picture for the sake of small details."
Zheng Dayong immediately retorted, "You cancel it if you say so, and understand it if you say so! If your son is getting married tomorrow, and both families have prepared everything, and you suddenly tell them that they can't get married, how do you think they will feel? It's good enough that they don't beat us up? By then, our reputation may be even worse, and they will think that our state-owned restaurant is treacherous and untrustworthy. Now there is only this trend, even if it is two days later, we are at the forefront of reform. Each wedding banquet will only have three tables. At that time, I want the man's family to send someone to sit in the restaurant throughout the whole process. If the Revolutionary Committee and the people really come to the door, just say that he bought the tickets. Dozens of their relatives pooled the tickets, so why can't he let him buy them? Why do you, Sun Shi, have so many things to do? What if the two couples' marriages are canceled because of the wedding banquet? Will your conscience hurt? You will have to compensate others for their losses. I can't afford it anyway." If I don't show my power, people will really think I'm a sick cat.
Sun Shi: "..." Sun Shi wanted to refute, but he couldn't find a reason, and suddenly felt very angry.
Sun Shi looked at Zheng Fei and tried to get him to say something with his eyes, but Zheng Fei pretended not to see him and did not speak, because he knew that now that things had been said, it would be impossible to change them even if he spoke.
Qian Aiguo: "Although the policy is important, what Dayong said makes sense. We should not change the things that have been decided in the next two days to avoid causing dissatisfaction. We can just not hold wedding banquets in the future. In the future, each person should also be limited to the amount of meat they can buy. No more than three servings per person to avoid hoarding and illegal activities."
Zheng Dayong returned to the east side of the state-owned restaurant and called over the cleaning staff. "I have two pieces of news for you, one good, one bad. The good news is that our sales are currently third, 380 yuan behind first, 160 yuan behind second, 250 yuan behind fourth, and 1,000 yuan behind fifth."
When everyone heard that he was third, they were very happy because this way he could stay in the city.
Zheng Dayong waited for everyone to be happy for a while before saying, "The bad news is that national policy prohibits any form of capitalism, so we will no longer accept wedding banquets. Anyone who wants to eat can only buy food in the store. It's first come, first served, and there is a limit on the quantity. One person can't buy too much food... After the two wedding banquets tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are finished, there will be no more.
Everyone's smiling faces immediately turned into worry: How could they fail at the critical moment?
Qian Xiaoni was anxious: "Why can't we do it? There's only one month left. Can't we hold on until next month? What if the state-owned restaurant catches up with us?"
"If I could, I would have fought for it a long time ago. Even the two wedding banquets tomorrow and the day after tomorrow took a lot of effort on my part, and Sun Shi even wanted to cancel them."
Zheng Dayong clapped his hands and encouraged, "It's the last month now, everyone, cheer up. We're several hundred ahead now. As long as we work hard, we can definitely maintain our third place. By the way, everyone go back and think carefully about what else we can do. Let's stay after get off work tonight for a meeting to discuss it."
Jiang Shushu sighed deeply inwardly, "..." Alas, why is it so difficult to keep a stable job? This seems like they're not going to give people a way out. What was once a sure win has become an unknown. It's exhausting.
Everyone worked and thought of solutions. I don't know how many brain cells died, but until the meeting after work, no one had come up with a good solution.
