Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

After receiving the form, Sha Zhu saw that it said "Cadre Recruitment Approval Form", which he did not quite understand. But Director Pang understood the details. He congratulated Sha Zhu again: "Congratulations, Director He, you will be a real cadre in the future." Seeing that Sha Zhu did not understand what he meant and was still in a confused state, he said to Director Wang: "Director Wang, you are a professional, please explain it to Director He."

Secretary Wang smiled at Sha Zhu and said, "Director He, once you fill out this form, you will join the cadre team. Unless you make a principled mistake, you will no longer be a worker."

Sha Zhu understood that becoming a cadre was good and important for him, but he could tell how much deeper the meaning was in the tone of Director Pang's words just now.

After listening to Wang's simple explanation, Director Pang realized that there were some inside stories that he didn't know, so he had to leave and explain it to Sha Zhu. Under Wang's guidance, Sha Zhu finally filled out the form and left with his things. Director Pang left the lounge and told Ma Hua that if someone came to see Sha Zhu, they should wait outside for a while and not disturb them. After closing the door, Director Pang told him everything he knew, and Sha Zhu realized how lucky he was.

Just like what Director Yang and Deputy Director Wang said when they were arguing about Sha Zhu doing private work, Director Yang initially only considered letting Sha Zhu become the deputy director of the canteen by working instead of working. In name, he was a deputy section-level cadre and his salary was paid according to a certain level. However, once there was a change in the factory, or Sha Zhu was no longer needed, Sha Zhu's cadre treatment could be taken away at any time and he could be turned back into an ordinary worker. After filling out the form just now, there was a qualitative difference. No matter what changes there were in the factory, even if it went bankrupt and reorganized, Sha Zhu would still be a cadre in other units and enjoy the treatment he deserved. His file now had to be sent to the municipal personnel (cadre) department for approval and filing.

"It seems that this time I turned a disaster into a blessing and became a serious cadre." Sha Zhu was happy.

"What a blessing in disguise! You are smart and prepared for a rainy day. And you did some good things before. Director Yang wanted to make you a role model. If you were a cadre who worked instead of worked, other units that wanted to poach you might cause trouble. So Director Yang took advantage of the situation and helped you get the job done in one step. All these factors combined have led to the current situation. You are lucky." Director Pang patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder and said, "I worked in this steel mill before liberation. I became a section chief because I was an activist. After so many years, I finally became the canteen director. Now that I am about to retire, I am only a section chief at level 19, only two levels higher than you. You have a bright future, Director He."

Sha Zhu said seriously: "Director Pang, you are squeezing me. I am just your soldier, the brick in your hand. As I said before, I will go wherever you need me."

Seeing that Sha Zhu didn't get carried away by his sudden success and still treated him with respect, Director Pang was very satisfied and said, "Since you said you would go wherever we need you, I will assign you a task. Our factory now has seven canteens. Canteens 1 to 6 are located in different locations and serve different workshops, while the others are similar. There is also a Muslim canteen. The two of us will divide the management rights and responsibilities of these canteens. I mean, you are familiar with Canteen 2, so you can take care of Canteens 1 to 3, and I will take care of Canteens 4 to 6. As for the Muslim canteen, you can manage it even if you have to endure some fatigue."

"No, Director Pang, I've just been promoted and I don't have enough experience. Let alone the canteens of Hui people, I may not be able to manage two canteens. Please let me adapt first. I will learn more from you first, and then I can do it slowly later. Is that okay?" Although he has never been a real official, Sha Zhu understands where power comes from through reading books and discussing the gains and losses of Yu Li in her work. The more work you are responsible for and the more people listen to your command, the greater your power and prestige will be. He just became the deputy director and took over the management of four canteens. Not to mention that he was not familiar with the people in these canteens, did not understand the temperament of the canteen staff, and did not know the dining preferences of the corresponding workshop employees. If he took over rashly, if there were any mistakes in the work, it would be bad if the leader thought that he was incompetent. Even if there were no mistakes, it would be even worse if the leader thought that he was trying to take more power and take more.

Regardless of whether Director Pang was testing him or not, Sha Zhu was determined not to manage four canteens. In the end, he only agreed to add one more canteen to manage. Director Pang finally left Canteen No. 2 with a smile on his face.

Ma Hua, Fatty, and the other people in Liu Lan's cafeteria gathered around when they saw the director leave, "Congratulations to Master He (Shifu) for becoming our new director!"

"Deputy, you must add the word 'deputy' next time. It won't be good if Director Pang hears it. Remember that." Sha Zhu firmly believes that people should not be arrogant.

"Ma Hua, I can't stay in the second canteen every day anymore. You have to cook your dishes well and not let them down. Do you hear me?"

Ma Hua stood at attention and answered seriously: "I understand, Master, I will definitely not let you down and will not embarrass you."

Sha Zhu then said to Ma Hua, "Although your cooking skills are better than Liu Lan's, you should be the canteen monitor. However, you are good at cooking, but your management skills are not good enough. I am considering letting Liu Lan be the monitor of the second canteen. Do you agree?"

Ma Hua shook his head and said, "Master, it's all up to you. Actually, I don't want to be the monitor. It's too troublesome to manage things and people. It affects my study of cooking. I will talk about being the monitor after I have mastered my cooking skills."

"You're waiting for your cooking skills to improve before you can be the monitor. Then I'll have to give it to you, right?" Liu Lan said from the side. "You'll be so happy. I'll do it for you when you don't want to do it, and you can take it back when you want to do it. Why are you so greedy?"

Although the fat guy can neither cook nor be the monitor, it does not affect his watching the fun. He smiled and said to Sha Zhu: "Master, you have to come back more often to teach us how to cook. You can't just ignore us."

"Of course. Although you have all become level 8 chefs, your current cooking skills are still far from being a master. I will only be in charge of one or two canteens. I have plenty of time to take care of you. You also need to work hard and practice more." Sha Zhu gave serious instructions to his apprentices.

Sha Zhu didn't have a banquet to prepare today, so he got off work early and went home to share his happy news with his family. Yu Li was overjoyed to hear that he was now a formal cadre. She had always thought that Sha Zhu's promotion to deputy director should be a work-for-hire job, mainly because his education level was too low. Later, when they heard about the whole incident, Yu Li and the deaf old lady were still frightened and praised Sha Zhu for his decisiveness. The deaf old lady kept scolding Liu Haizhong for breaking his promises. He was really getting more and more cunning and less and less good. If they were not in the Intermediate Court at this time, she would definitely go and knock on the glass of Liu Haizhong's house. However, the old lady said to herself that she would have a full meal and go back to knock on the glass on the way, so as not to delay the Liu family from cooling down at night.
