151 First Staff Conference

Aunt Zhong and Xia Zhiqiu each pasted up a couplet, opened the factory's iron gate, and lit a string of firecrackers hung on the iron gate, welcoming the first employee amid the crackling sound of firecrackers.

Dong Shengping walked straight and upright through the smoke, stepping on red confetti. 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 confetti on his head: "Good morning, everyone."

Even after retiring from the army, Dong Shengping still maintained his military self-discipline and punctuality and was the first to arrive at the factory.

The design of the food factory security booth is different from other places. It is just a small booth or house. Su Taotao designed it into a small reception room with a lounge and a bathroom. Family members who come to wait for people or children who come to look for adults and it is inconvenient to go inside can take a rest here.

Aunt Zhong said, "Shengping is here. This is where you will be working from now on. You can get familiar with it first."

Dong Shengping was somewhat surprised to see this design.

"There is no need to stand guard. You can rest inside and see what is happening outside from the window," said Su Taotao.

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

Soon after, smiling faces came one after another. Dong Shengping stood on the stone pier of the guardhouse, trying hard to remember these faces.

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

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

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

Xia Zhiqiu called out the names one by one according to the roster, and his powerful "here" echoed over the hall.

Aunt Zhong and Xia Zhiqiu gave each employee a notebook and a pen, which Su Taotao asked Xiao Lu to prepare in advance.

As for individual illiterate employees, Su Taotao plans to set up a literacy class in the future, striving to ensure that everyone can basically listen, speak and write without any obstacles.

"Reporting to Director Su, the first employee meeting of the food factory, 38 people were supposed to attend, and 38 people actually attended. All employees are present."

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

"Xia Zhiqiu, secretary and director of the finance department, Zhong Xiumei, director of the personnel and logistics department, and Dong Shengping, director of the security department and attendance supervisor. Except for a few of us and the two teachers of the Yuhong class, all the others will temporarily go to the front line to be in charge of production."

“After that, we will promote you based on your individual performance and work ability, gradually improve and optimize the plant’s personnel structure, increase productivity, and generate income for the base.”

When Dong Shengping heard his title, he was stunned for a moment, then he smiled knowingly, thinking that 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. In the future, as the factory grows bigger and stronger, you are all reserve cadres and backbone personnel. I hope that in the future, you will all be able to step into the leadership team and contribute to the development of the factory.

I also hope that everyone can truly respect their jobs, be dedicated to their work, and work together with the factory towards glory in the future."

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

Su Taotao spoke completely impromptu, fluently and in one breath. Her speech was not long enough to make people sleepy, nor was it high-spirited and exciting. Her words were meaningful and to the point. No one disliked such a speech from a leader.

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-rescue science popularization on the stampede that almost happened before.

What kind of leader you have, what kind of leadership team you will have. Xia Zhiqiu, like Su Taotao, only focuses on the key points and does not waste too much time.

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

Auntie Zhong's speech surprised Su Taotao. She sounded serious and reliable. She looked like a rigid old cadre on the stage, which was very different from her usual image. She didn't say a single unnecessary word in her speech and just got to the point.

Director Zhong has perfectly captured the image of a veteran cadre. After this speech, anyone who sees her will surely 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 food factory's first staff meeting ended successfully.

Ps: There will be another update in the afternoon, muah
