Zhang Zhifei took some time in the afternoon and went to Li Huaide's office while no one was paying attention. He explained his creation of a civilized canteen and what he wanted to report to factory director Bai Zhibin.
It is no longer a secret that Li Huaide will no longer serve as the party secretary of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. During this period, the deputy leaders of the steel rolling mill are running for connections, and almost no one is looking for him to report to.
"Zhifei, don't come to me about work matters from now on. I'll leave next week." Li Huaide said in a low voice.
"Has your new position been confirmed?" The last time the two of them talked, they knew that Li Huaide was going to northern Shaanxi, but the specific place was not specified.
"I have done well in the past three years, and with my father-in-law's great efforts, I will serve as the mayor of Yumu City." Li Huaide is in a very high mood. If he breaks out of the corporate cage, his future will be even brighter.
"Congratulations. When will you leave? I will see you off."
"They all work for the party and the people, regardless of high or low. The time of departure is not yet certain, and we have to hand over work with the new secretary."
"Secretary, the new secretary of the steel rolling mill has not been decided yet?"
"Well, thanks to the development of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill in the past few years, it has become a hot spot now, and the competition is very fierce. I originally thought that Director Bai would take over from me, but now it seems that may not be the case."
"Zhifei, I was wrong when I asked you to go to the cafeteria before. With your talent and resume, the new leader will definitely notice you. Your approach of avoiding the struggle is probably not going to work.
But don’t be afraid. With your resume and family background, as long as you don’t make any principled mistakes, you should be safe. "Li Huaide increasingly felt that transferring Zhang Zhifei to be the canteen director was a bad move.
"The secretary is fine, and the cafeteria is actually quite good. If the new leader really wants to use me, he will promote me, and I can make him think that he is my benefactor, so that the leader will trust me more.
My biggest wish now is that one day you will be transferred back to Yanjing, and I will serve you again at that time. "Zhang Zhifei has never been weak in flattering.
"You, this is the only mouth that can talk. By the way, if you need anything else, I'll do it for you before I leave." Li Huaide said with a smile.
"Director, I don't need anything else. My younger brothers and sisters are old enough to get married soon, so they need three-turn and one-ring bills." Zhang Zhifei said rudely.
"Now that you know how to beat the autumn wind, I'll give you all these. I'll make a note of it and treat it as a reward for your second-class merit." Li Huaide took out a stack of bills and handed them to Zhang Zhifei.
Zhang Zhifei took a cursory glance and saw that all the receipts were in place, including national food stamps. He quickly thanked Li Huaide. The leader was not in vain.
Later, Li Huaide imparted some of his life insights and lessons to Zhang Zhifei, which benefited him a lot.
In Li Huaide's office, Zhang Zhifei didn't leave until it was almost time to get off work, and went directly to the Women's Federation to pick up his wife. The two of them biked home. As for his sister-in-law Yang Tingting, she could only walk.
After dinner, the family gathered together to chat, and Zhang Qianqian curiously asked about Yang Tingting's work.
"Sister Tingting, is it fun to go to work?"
"Tingting is working, not playing." Zhang Zhifei corrected his sister.
"Tingting, how did you feel on your first day at work? Did anyone bully you?" Yang Manli asked after swallowing her last bite of noodles.
"Sister, no one bullies me. Everyone knows that I am my brother-in-law's sister and they are all very polite to me. I have learned a lot."
"That's good. You have to be modest and prudent at work, and work hard to learn business knowledge. Don't catch anyone snoring and being rude because of your brother-in-law, you know?"
"I understand, sister." Yang Tingting nodded silently, remembering Yang Manli's instructions in her heart.
"Tingting, your sister is doing this for your own good, don't take it personally.
Letting you be the accountant is also for my brother-in-law's own sake. If you are more careful and keep track of the accounts clearly, you will be doing your brother-in-law a favor. Zhang Zhifei said as he took out a bicycle ticket and two hundred yuan from his pocket and handed them to Yang Tingting.
"Brother-in-law, what is this?" Yang Tingting had never seen so much money at once and did not dare to take it.
"It's for you. My brother-in-law will give you half an hour off tomorrow morning to buy a bicycle." Zhang Zhifei put the thing into her hand.
"Sister, this?" Yang Tingting looked at Yang Manli, wondering whether she should take it.
"Zhifei, isn't this inappropriate? Qianqian doesn't have a bicycle yet?" Yang Manli said hesitantly.
"Sister-in-law, I don't need it." Even though Zhang Qianqian said this, she couldn't help but look longingly.
"Qianqian will buy it too, this Sunday." Zhang Zhifei said grandly.
"Do you have a bicycle ticket?" Yang Manli said suspiciously.
"We don't have anything else now, but we have a lot of bills, not just bicycle tickets, but all kinds of bills." Zhang Zhifei said, taking out the bill Li Huaide gave him in the afternoon (actually he took it out of the space) from his pocket. He shook it in his hand and said.
"So many, where did they come from?" Yang Manli exclaimed, took it from Zhang Zhifei's hand and started looking at it.
Zhang Zhifei smiled and explained the origin of the note, saying that it was a reward for second-class merit from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.
"There are two sets of three-turn-one-ring bills."
"Sister-in-law, here are 50 kilograms of national food stamps."
"There are also cloth tickets..."
The three women started counting the bills.
The behavior of the three people made Zhang Zhifei want to laugh. These bills were indeed precious, but they were just that for ordinary people, and for a director of a large factory with tens of thousands of people like Li Huaide.
If they really want to do it, they can get ten or eight sets at any time. These factory directors exchange resources regularly, so there will be no shortage of tickets. This is why most people in the past dynasties want to be officials.
Take the world before Zhang Zhifei's time travel as an example. Civil servants didn't seem to earn much, but they had many hidden benefits. It was still a popular profession and the first choice for many people. It was not uncommon for thousands of people to compete for a position in the national and provincial examinations.
Zhang Zhifei collected the valuable bills that were not needed now and threw the others to Yang Manli.
"Manli, you are about to give birth, and we don't understand it very well. Ask your colleagues at the Women's Federation to find out what items should be prepared before giving birth. This weekend we will start to slowly buy things for home."
"Yes, I understand." Yang Manli nodded.
The next day, after Zhang Zhifei arrived at the Red Star Rolling Mill, he went directly to Bai Zhibin's office and waited outside for Liu Haiyang's arrival. It took about ten minutes before he saw Liu Haiyang slowly walking in this direction.
"Comrade Zhifei, you are still young and energetic, but I feel tired after taking a few steps."
Zhang Zhifei looked at Liu Haiyang's almost hairless forehead and thought to himself, you have worked too much at night. If you continue like this, you might get wind of your life.
Although I thought this in my heart, my words turned out to be: "Director Liu, you are still young. I think it is because you are tired from worrying about the big things in the factory. Unlike me, who is heartless and has a lot of free time."
"Hey, I'm just a hard worker."
Zhang Zhifei really wanted to scold him for working so hard, he must be working on his belly.
Just as he was thinking about how to answer Liu Haiyang, Zhang Zhifei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Bai Zhibin arriving. He really didn't know how to continue.
"What are you two doing?" Bai Zhibin asked pretending to be confused.
"Director, we have something to report to you about the canteen." Liu Haiyang explained, as if he had not told the director about it yesterday. He is a good actor.
"Then come in. Xiao Wu, make tea for the two directors." Bai Zhibin then handed Zhang Zhifei and Liu Haiyang a cigarette each.
"Director, this is the plan drafted by Comrade Zhang Zhifei. Please take a look at it."
"You two have tea first, and I'll take a look." Bai Zhibin pretended to look at it.
After about seven or eight minutes, Bai Zhibin put down the plan, raised his head, and said to the two of them: "You can put the interests of the workers first and proceed from their thoughts. It is very worthy of recognition. The plan is also feasible. In principle, I totally agree."
Bai Zhibin paused and then said: "However, our steel rolling mill is an organization after all, an organization under the leadership of the party, and it still needs to pass a collective decision. In this case, I will go to Secretary Li and ask for his opinion to see if it needs to be discussed in a meeting. ."
Zhang Zhifei also saw clearly that Director Bai was a typical government official with no sense of responsibility. He wanted to employ people but was afraid of taking responsibility.
It's just such a small thing, just approve a word and stamp it and it's over. I don't know how complicated the preparation is.
Such a leader is definitely not a good leader and is not worth following. If something goes wrong, he will definitely not help his subordinates tide over the difficulties.
He remained silent at the moment, preparing to act in accordance with Bai Zhibin's instructions and never speak out. After this time, he would stay in the cafeteria.
This person is far from the level of Li Huaide. He is not like a person who can handle things. If the steel rolling mill does not have a responsible and capable leader, the next 10 years may be difficult.
Liu Haiyang smiled and cooperated with Bai Zhibin, meaning that he and Zhang Zhifei had not considered it carefully. The factory director was right and should wait for the Standing Committee to study and make a decision.
Zhang Zhifei felt half-hearted when he saw the situation. It was estimated that he had lost all the credit for this matter. He followed Liu Haiyang's words and said a few words, then stopped talking.
After sitting for a while, Zhang Zhifei left Bai Zhibin's office on the pretext of having something to do.
"Director, aren't you going to use him?" Liu Haiyang asked when he saw Zhang Zhifei leaving.
"I thought about it last night. Although he is very capable, he is still too young. I'm afraid he is not very reliable. He will have to stay up for a while before using it. However, the civilized canteen still needs to be done, and the workers must Remember us."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Zhang Zhifei had just seen that the relationship between the two was unusual, and Liu Haiyang should be Bai Zhibin's main confidant.
It would be better for me to stay away from them in the future. The appearance of these two people eating is a bit ugly. I guess the establishment of a civilized canteen this time will not have much to do with me.
