Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

Sha Zhu came to the secretary's office excitedly, and Secretary Yang finally remembered his chef service team.

After Secretary Yang listened carefully to Sha Zhu's idea, he only said one sentence: "How many people can your chef service team arrange?"

Sha Zhu didn't understand what Secretary Yang meant, and replied: "The number of chefs in the service team is determined based on the number of cooks who sign up for our factory cafeteria. At the beginning, everyone won't be too enthusiastic, so I'll be satisfied if we can have four or five chefs who can take on banquets."

Secretary Yang said: "No, you don't understand what I mean. I think your service team should be reopened. We should not use the existing personnel. We should recruit new people and train new people."

"Secretary, a chef is different from a fitter. No, they are the same." Sha Zhu sorted out his thoughts and said, "It should be said that a chef who can prepare banquets is almost the same as a fitter of level 4 or 5. They must be experienced. A chef who has just learned to cook or has learned to cook for two or three years can only help. For example, my apprentice Ma Hua worked as a handyman in our factory cafeteria for more than a year before he followed me. He also learned from me for more than two years. This kid is willing to work hard, but he may not be able to complete the preparation of a wedding banquet by himself."

"Really? You cook so well, is there any way to quickly train me?"

"Secretary, controlling the heat and mastering the taste require years of accumulation. It cannot be achieved without quantity." Sha Zhu shook his head.

"This road doesn't work either." Director Yang lowered his head and muttered to himself.

"Secretary, why do you always want to arrange new people? Is there something wrong?"

"It's almost June again, and a large number of students are about to graduate and look for jobs. We also have the task of arranging positions every year. I just came back from the district. This year we have to arrange 50 people for the district. I don't know the number for the city yet, but it was the same number last year, and it won't be much less this year."

After listening to this, Sha Zhu said, "Secretary, we can't accommodate many students in the chef service team at the beginning, but five or six is ​​still OK, and as long as we manage it well, we can expand it two or three times later." Sha Zhu was willing to recruit new people because he wanted to get Secretary Yang's support, otherwise the chef service team might fail.

Secretary Yang looked at Sha Zhu and asked, "Do you really think it can be expanded two or three times in the future?"

"It should be no problem. With more material wealth, people's demands for weddings and funerals will also improve."

"Okay, then you give it a try. We'll talk about whether it's a good position or not after you've sorted it out. Give me a plan report tomorrow. I'll convene a party committee meeting the day after tomorrow. Please write it in detail so that we can get it passed in one fell swoop."

"Don't worry, I've been thinking about the plan for a long time. If you need me to arrange a position for you in the future, I will definitely do it without hesitation."

At the party group meeting, Li Huaide looked at Sha Zhu's plan and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. This old Yang is very active in these unrealistic things all day long. He really thinks that Sha Zhu's good cooking skills can make his chefs join the service team honestly. He is stupid, and so are others. Isn't it a pity to have too much money? He even gave part of it to the factory. How generous he is, why not donate all his salary!

Li Huaide was disdainful and did not even read the plan carefully before passing it to the next factory leader. After the plan was passed around among the organization members and returned to Secretary Yang, he said, "Everyone has read this plan, so let's talk about our ideas. Director Wang, let's start with you."

The former Deputy Director Wang became the director after Director Yang became the secretary. He looked at Secretary Yang who was looking happy next to him and said, "This plan is written in great detail. I think it is quite feasible. After all, it will organize skilled chefs from the canteen to provide services on weekends. It will not affect our employees' meals on weekdays, and we don't need to provide any salary or benefits subsidies. They also hand over part of their income to the factory. This is very good." After he said that, he looked at Deputy Director Liang opposite him.

Deputy Director Liang also saw the excitement on Secretary Yang's face and knew that the secretary must be very satisfied with this plan and would definitely approve it. He nodded and said, "Indeed, based on the fact that our factory only needs to provide an office and we can sit and collect the income handed in by the service team, I can't object."

Several deputy factory directors agreed. The newly appointed deputy factory director Qi smiled and said, "Everyone agrees, which means this plan is good. However, our factory does nothing but sits back and reaps the benefits. Isn't our factory a bit like the landlords and capitalists exploiting the workers?"

Director Wang quickly interrupted, "Don't talk nonsense. First of all, the workers acted voluntarily. Secondly, the income does not go into our pockets. It is all used for the employees. Director He wrote it very clearly. When there is not much money, we can improve the food for the employees. When there is more money, we can give them some labor protection supplies."

"Yes, yes, yes. Director Wang is the one who reads it carefully. I missed this point." After hearing what he said, Deputy Director Qi quickly changed his words and offered flattery.

Li Huaide looked down on these yes-men. Sometimes he had to highlight his own uniqueness. He said, "Leaders only see the benefits but not the problems. This service team is good for the people and the factory, but it is not very friendly to the chefs who used to do private work. They used to get all the wages for doing private work, but after joining the service team, they can only get half. How many people are willing to do this, especially those with good skills."

"Director Li is right. This is indeed a problem."

"Yeah, who can take out the money that's in their pocket?"

Some people agreed with Li Huaide's opinion, but of course there were also people who objected. Director Dong of the Infrastructure Department said, "It's reasonable to do private work. We didn't care about this before. Now it's time for us to make up our minds to stop this unhealthy trend."

"Well, once they become obedient, they will naturally know that the service team is good."

"I'm afraid that after being hit, they will stop doing anything."

Director Dong slammed the table and said, "If they dare, then they are opposing the revolution and hoping to take the capitalist road."

"Don't accuse us. This is a service team formed by the workers themselves. It's voluntary. They can say they don't want to work on their days off. You don't know how big a deal it is to force them to work." Li Huaide sneered with the corners of his mouth raised. "Also, there are many chefs who don't have formal jobs outside who are also doing this. The service team we formed may squeeze their living space. What if they come to the factory to make trouble?"

Director Dong made an impassioned speech: "You are either worried about your own chefs' resistance or you are afraid of outside chefs causing trouble. If everyone is like you, we will definitely fail. The teacher said, 'Revolution is not a dinner party.' This service team is like a revolution. It will sacrifice the interests of some people, but we can't just watch the wrong things continue because the interests of some people are damaged. After all, private chefs are wrong and should be severely punished."

Deputy Factory Director Liang raised his hand to appease Director Dong, "Old Director, don't get excited. We are just discussing this. Private chefs are not something our factory can control."
