Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

Since the decision was made, Sha Zhu found Director Pang the next day and told him his idea. Director Pang was confused. This was the first time he heard of such a thing of cutting off one's own financial resources. Cooking for wedding banquets was a private job for chefs. However, Sha Zhu wanted to set up a chef service team, which would not only cut off his own financial resources, but also the financial resources of others. He thought that Sha Zhu had always respected him and did not seize power. Today's matter was a little ill-considered, so he must dissuade him.

"Silly Zhu, silly Zhu, the name is wrong, not the nickname. You are really stupid. You are also doing private work outside, why do you take the initiative to cut off this path? No one is forcing you. Even if you want to get closer to the organization, you don't have to do this. If no one investigates, you will not be exposed. Don't worry. You should think more and don't be impulsive."

Sha Zhu understood that Director Pang was on his side, and said, "Thank you for thinking about me, Director. I have been thinking about this for several days. The main reason is that we had a meeting last time because of the private kitchen issue. Although I handed over the income first, there were a lot of gossips later, and the comrades from the security department investigated for a long time. Private kitchen is not a long-term solution. I think it is good to turn it into a bright way so that everyone can make money openly."

"There's not much money to begin with, and if you pay part of it to the factory, it will be even less. Which master would be willing to do that? You're thinking too much."

It's not much money. Sha Zhu didn't expect Director Pang to say that. Seeing that Director Pang didn't seem to be perfunctory, and because he was not a chef, Sha Zhu knew that Director Pang had miscalculated. "An ordinary chef can get the salary of a temporary worker just by working casually every month, and he only has to work four days a month."

"Impossible, don't talk nonsense."

"Let me do the math for you. I work as a private chef for other people and I make 2 bucks per table. If they are worse than me, they will make 1 buck at least. Or their cooking skills are really not good enough, then there is nothing I can do. For an average family's wedding, they will have at least 6 tables. I can work four weekends a month, so it shouldn't be difficult. That's 24 bucks, not less than a temporary worker."

After listening to Sha Zhu's words, Director Pang widened his eyes and said, "To have so many, it would be good if a cook could take one a month."

"There are indeed such people. They all have formal jobs and only do it once a month. But it's not that they can't take the job. They are probably timid and afraid of accidents."

"What could possibly happen? As the saying goes, officials won't investigate unless the people file a complaint."

"The owner and the cook won't sue, but there are always people who are jealous of others' good lives, just like the rumors about me. So, if we become a service team, we can make money openly."

Director Pang was convinced by Sha Zhu's calculations and said, "This is a good idea. If it succeeds, we can both get some benefits, but we can't make the decision." After that, he asked tentatively, "How about I talk to Director Li, who is in charge of the logistics of the factory and is also our direct superior. As long as he agrees, there should be no problem."

Sha Zhu nodded. He knew that this matter could not be dealt with without involving Director Li Huaide, which was why he did not go directly to Secretary Yang.

After listening to Director Pang's report, Li Huaide thought of the same thing as Grandpa Ren, but he was not optimistic, because Sha Zhu did not tell Director Pang that he would teach other chefs to improve their cooking skills, so Li Huaide naturally did not know about this favorable factor. Looking at other aspects alone, this matter is difficult to accomplish, and even if it is accomplished, it will not be too smooth, so he does not want to support it, but he will not stop it either. After all, if it succeeds, he will have some credit. Besides, if there are really outstanding results, it will only be a little troublesome for him to use some tricks to pick peaches. A small deputy section chief can be easily flattened and rounded.

Director Pang saw that Li Huaide's reaction was not very positive, so he asked carefully: "Do you think this thing can't be accomplished, or are you worried that the results will not be great and there will be trouble?"

"You mentioned both of these. I always feel that Sha Zhu is a little whimsical. Just like you said, how could other chefs give up the benefits they have obtained? No one is stupid."

"So you mean we won't do this?"

"No, I will do it, but I won't provide any support. You can do whatever you want, but the canteen can't be in chaos. If the chefs in the canteen have a disagreement and become passive because of the chef service team, then you and Sha Zhu will both go back to the workshop."

Director Pang left Li Huaide's office in a rage, and told Sha Zhu directly in his and Sha Zhu's offices that Li Huaide disagreed, and asked Sha Zhu to give up this unrealistic idea and just do his job.

Sha Zhu smiled and said, "I'm giving you a chance. Don't wait until the results come out and then complain that I didn't call you."

At noon, while inspecting the canteen, Sha Zhu met Secretary Chen who was having lunch in the third canteen and briefly told him about his idea of ​​establishing a chef service team. Secretary Chen knew that he was just a mouthpiece. After he took note of what Sha Zhu said, he reported it to Secretary Yang. Secretary Yang happened to have a meeting in the afternoon. After listening, he left in a hurry and only said to Secretary Chen: "Tell Director He that I will consider it."

For many days, Sha Zhu did not receive any news. He complained to Yu Li in frustration: "I have such a good idea, but no one supports it. It's really..."

Yu Li comforted him: "Brother Zhu, your idea is very good. I like it very much. If I were the leader of your factory, I would definitely support it. Speaking of your leader, he is in charge of a large factory with nearly 10,000 people, so he must be very busy. Our Director Wang is busy managing such a small place and the residents. Your leader should be even busier. Please be more patient. I think there will be news soon."

Spring is here, people are taking off their cotton-padded clothes and putting on spring clothes again. Sha Zhu still hasn't received the news he's been longing for, but the good news is that his application has been approved and he is now a candidate member. Ma Hua, Liu Lan and Fatty all came to congratulate their depressed master. They wanted to buy some food and cook for Sha Zhu, but seeing that Sha Zhu had no interest, the three of them had to leave quietly.

On that day, Secretary Yang was invited to attend a symposium for leaders of major factories convened by the district.

Before the meeting started, Secretary Yang asked the secretary of the water plant next to him: "Old Qian, do you know what it is?"

Before the secretary of the water plant spoke, the director of the cable factory next door said, "I guess they are asking us to find some jobs for the unemployed people in the district. It can't be that they are inviting us to drink tea or watch a play."

"Old Zhu, you are already the director of a factory, but why are you still so careless with your words?" Secretary Qian immediately scolded him.

Director Zhu said, "Haha, this is in front of you guys, I wouldn't do this to other people."

"I'm afraid you'll get used to it and won't be able to control yourself at other times, including in front of us in the future. Do you understand?" Secretary Qian was like a teacher discipling his students.

But Director Zhu did not refute at all. He nodded and said, "I will pay attention to it in the future, old squad leader, please don't be angry, don't be angry."
