Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

Director Dong followed Deputy Director Liang's instructions, lit a cigarette, and stopped talking.

Li Huaide saw that Director Dong stopped talking, and did not continue to attack the loopholes in his words. In fact, Director Dong's performance just paved the way for him to make a turnaround. He knew that Secretary Yang supported Sha Zhu's plan, and this plan was not costly and everyone was optimistic about it. If he fiercely opposed it, it would only make people think that he was blocking progress and hindering unity. If he raised objections appropriately, he would have an explanation if problems really occurred in the future, "Look, I was not optimistic at the beginning, but I was far-sighted." No problem, if others can't remember his original opinion, forget it, if they remember it, he can say "This is called anticipating failure before success, and taking precautions before it happens."

Li Huaide also lit a cigarette and said nothing, but he looked quite triumphant.

Director Wang knew that there was someone behind Li Huaide, pushing him to climb up, but he was still far away from his position and did not care.

Director Wang doesn't care about other deputy directors, especially Deputy Director Qi. He is the last deputy director. If Li Huaide is promoted in the future, it is very important whether he will be ranked before or after him. He must suppress him first. "Director Li, this canteen belongs to your logistics department. Director He is your subordinate. You should strongly support him, right? And you should know what plans he has. Did you know about this plan before and rejected it?"

"Yes, he reported it to me before. I neither opposed nor supported it because I felt that his plan had some omissions. I asked him to go back and revise it. Later, somehow, this plan fell into the hands of the secretary."

"Where is the loophole?" Deputy Director Qi asked.

"It's just what I said. His idea of ​​getting capable chefs to join is too naive. It's not attractive enough. No one will give up their original interests for nothing."

Deputy Director Qi smiled and said, "It seems that Director Li didn't read Director He's plan carefully. Director He wrote very clearly that he would help the chefs improve their skills so that they can participate in cooking higher-standard banquets. If he is not capable enough, he can ask his master for help and teaching. If the chef's skills are improved, not only can his income from banquets increase, but he can also apply for grading in the factory and improve his treatment. Then their income will increase permanently."

"Is there such a rule? Did Shazhu think of it before or did he just add it? What should I say?" Li Huaide thought about the countermeasures without changing his expression. He pretended to flick the ash of his cigarette and dragged it out for a few seconds before saying, "I see that improving cooking skills seems very tempting, but for many chefs who have already formed a habit or are old, the possibility of improvement is not great. And from what I understand, the chefs who can go out to be private chefs are almost all such chefs, so I raised these doubts."

Deputy Director Qi stopped talking. He was not in charge of logistics, did not know the age of the chef, was not much of a foodie, and had no idea how to differentiate the levels of chefs or what level of skills were required to prepare a banquet.

Other factory leaders were much the same. They only knew that Sha Zhu was a good cook and that his food tasted good. Leaders from other sister units also praised him, but they had never tried the food of other chefs.

Secretary Yang looked at everyone with thoughtful expressions and knew that he had to take the lead. "Director He told me about this issue. There are about six or seven chefs in our factory who can be private chefs. There is one who is over fifty, and the rest are all in their forties. We won't force them if they don't want to improve in their fifties, but they should have the motivation and need to improve in their forties. Even if they are unwilling, they will hold on to their own personal interests and want to forcibly prevent the collective interests of other chefs who are willing to improve. What do you think we should do?"

Secretary Yang raised the topic to the conflict between personal interests and collective interests, especially since the personal interests were not obtained in an open and aboveboard manner. Everyone knew what to choose. Li Huaide also saw the strength of Secretary Yang. He felt that he was too weak and only found problems in small details. He should focus on the core and get to the root of the problem like Secretary Yang did.

Secretary Yang decided the issue with just one word, and the plan was quickly conveyed to Sha Zhu, who was asked to set up a chef service team as soon as possible to provide cooking services for weddings and funerals for the surrounding people.

Director Pang, who was worried about responsibility at first, became depressed when he saw that Sha Zhu's plan was approved. He thought Sha Zhu should have given up after no news for such a long time. However, the plan was brought to the Party Committee meeting and approved. From now on, all the chefs in the canteens will listen to his command, and he, the director in name only.

Sha Zhu didn't care about Director Pang's mood, but in order to save his face, he took Director Pang to each canteen to inform them of the establishment of the service team and asked the chefs to actively join in.

When the notice was given to Canteen No. 1 and Canteen No. 2, no one objected directly. These were the two canteens directly managed by Sha Zhu. He would occasionally give guidance to the chefs in Canteen No. 1 on their skills. When he wanted to set up a service team, he also talked to them about it. These people said at the time that as long as their income would not be too much less, they would not object.

The second canteen is where Sha Zhu grew up. The only one who can prepare banquets now is Ma Hua. He expressed his firm support for the master, and Liu Lan and Fatty also asked to join.

When he arrived at the third canteen, which was managed by Director Pang, the chef of the third canteen could only cook the canteen's big pot dishes. He could not prepare banquets and had never done so. When he heard that joining the service team would allow Director He to teach him skills and improve his cooking, he responded very positively.

The chef of the fourth canteen is in his fifties and will soon retire. After hearing what Sha Zhu said, he scratched his head and said, "Director He, this is a good thing, but it is only for other chefs. It doesn't mean much to an old guy like me. I will retire in a year or two, and I won't be able to improve my skills during this period. After I retire, I will go back to the countryside to farm, so I won't participate."

Director Pang thought to himself: This guy was born and raised in Beijing, how could he possibly go back to the countryside?

Sha Zhu also laughed secretly. If the old man doesn't want to do it, just say so. Go back to the countryside. If you can go back to the countryside, I can even go to the moon. You just think that after you retire, I can't control you anymore. Let's wait and see. With my service team, can you still get work in the city? I'll let you realize your wish, so you really wait to go to the countryside!

The chef of the fifth canteen had a hot temper. He had received the news from his colleagues in the third canteen when Sha Zhu and Director Pang went to other canteens. Before Sha Zhu announced the establishment of the chef service team, he shouted directly: "Director He, no one from the fifth canteen will participate in your so-called service team, so don't say anything."
