Chapter 48: Getting something for nothing?
Chapter 48: Getting something for nothing? (Second update)
"Comrade Wang Dong... please take a seat..."
Director Yang stood up from his seat as if he was greeting an old acquaintance, and pulled Wang Dong to sit on the sofa in the office.
"You really opened my eyes this afternoon!"
"I didn't expect that you, at such a young age, could master such amazing cooking skills. It's true that heroes emerge from youth!"
Wang Dong didn't think that Director Yang, who had just plotted against him, would really praise him, so he immediately responded with a humble expression.
"Thank you for the compliment, Director!"
"I'm just more interested in cooking. I like to cook and study how to cook. I can't compare with those real heroes!"
"Besides, the cooking class is part of my job description."
"Cooking good dishes and serving the leaders well are what I should do. I don't deserve such praise from the leaders."
"Well said!" Director Yang couldn't help but praise.
His original purpose was to win over Wang Dong and use him for his own purposes.
After listening to Wang Dong's words, a thought of admiration for talent suddenly flashed through my mind.
But soon these thoughts were replaced by anger, but it didn't show on his face.
What happened to me in the past two days was inextricably linked to Wang Dong.
It is no exaggeration to describe him as the culprit.
If Wang Dong had not hooked up with a senior leader, it would have been impossible for him to have his small kitchen taken away and his position as a canteen team leader in a short period of time, and Director Yang would never have tried to win him over no matter what.
But in order to make Wang Dong work for me and disgust Director Li, Director Yang still pretended to be a talent lover and said, "I heard Director Li talk about you yesterday!"
"I wanted to call him over to get to know him, after all, the special kitchen in the factory is very important, but I was too busy at work, so I had to put it off until now..."
"I heard that you were hired as a successor to the steel mill..."
"How about it……"
“Are there any difficulties in life or work?”
"I am the director of a steel rolling mill!"
"If I can solve it, I will definitely help you solve it..."
“Without any worries, you can cook with peace of mind and serve everyone well!”
The leader has asked me to make a request. If I don't say anything, people will think I look down on him.
Director Li also said that if Director Yang wanted to win him over and offered him benefits, he should just accept them.
After all, he is the factory director, and if he is assigned to be a kitchen team leader, there is no way he won't do it.
In that case, Wang Dong won't be polite.
Looking at Director Yang, he was embarrassed to answer: "Director..."
"Although I don't have parents, Uncle Chen and his family are better than my parents?"
"Now that Uncle Chen is injured because of the factory, all the burdens fall on me..."
"My salary is barely enough to feed my family of five..."
"You are the factory director..."
"I wonder if I can get the factory to pay me a little more, or give me some compensation!"
Wang Dong supports his family of five with a salary of more than 30 yuan, which is only about 6 or 7 yuan per person, just above the poverty line of the urban area.
By this calculation, Wang Dong is indeed under a lot of pressure.
But Director Yang didn't want to pay a price to win over someone he didn't like.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he answered: "Comrade Wang Dong!"
"The factory pays wages according to the system. Even if I am the factory director, I cannot violate it. So don't even think about raising your salary for now."
"But I believe that with your cooking skills, you will have no problem passing the eighth-level chef certificate next year..."
"As the job level rises, the salary will naturally rise."
"As long as you work hard and follow instructions..."
"In three years at the latest, I will promote you to deputy director of the steel mill kitchen!"
Wang Dong was very disappointed. He thought Director Yang would definitely offer some tangible benefits to win him over, but he didn't expect him to want to get something for nothing.
You must have been fooled by this matter.
If his soul had not come from the afterlife and he had not known some of the future situations of the steel mill, he might have been fooled by the pie in the sky drawn by Director Yang.
Although the deputy director of the kitchen is of a very low rank and cannot even be called a cadre, he is still an figure that ordinary workers look up to.
Despite this, Director Yang could not give the position of deputy director to anyone he wanted, after all, the Logistics Department was Director Li's private domain.
Listening to Director Yang's empty promises, it would be better to curry favor with Director Li.
It was not until then that Wang Dong finally understood the huge gap between how Director Yang treated his subordinates and how Director Li treated them.
No wonder they were able to dominate the steel rolling mill for the next decade.
The little bit of anticipation in my heart quickly disappeared, and I even felt a little inexplicably disappointed.
But Wang Dong didn't show it on his face, instead he pretended to be grateful and said.
"Thank you, Director..."
"In the future, I will do my job well, resolutely carry out the orders of the factory leaders, and obey their commands!"
This is exactly what Director Yang wanted to hear.
As long as Wang Dong follows instructions and doesn't make any mistakes when helping him entertain, that's all.
As for the losses and grievances I have suffered in the past two days, I will be able to make up for it one day in the future.
After saying a few meaningless words, he let Wang Dong go to work.
…………
On the way back to the kitchen, Wang Dong went to Director Li's office specifically.
Although Director Li said that he didn't mind Director Yang recruiting him, he asked him to accept all the benefits given by Director Yang.
But if I was ignorant and did not report to Director Li, there would definitely be grudges between the two sides over time.
Director Li is the big shot that Wang Dong will rely on for the next 20 years at the steel rolling mill. No matter how stupid Wang Dong is, he will not give up the long-term future for a little bit of immediate benefit.
What's more, Director Yang didn't give himself any benefits and just wanted to get something for nothing, so he should report it to Director Li.
…………
In Director Li's office, when he heard that Director Yang had promised Wang Dong to be the deputy director of the kitchen, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
I felt a wave of contempt in my heart.
Wanting to win over Wang Dong to work for one's own benefit but not wanting to pay the price, there is no such good thing in the world.
With a mocking tone, he asked back: "Xiao Wang..."
"Do you believe that Director Yang can help you get the position of deputy director of the kitchen?"
Wang Dong replied with a surprised expression: "How is it possible..."
"director……"
"Although I am young, I am not a fool..."
"You are the director of logistics. When you are promoted to deputy director in the future, you will continue to manage logistics. It is up to you to decide whether I can be the deputy director!"
"Besides, I'm so young. If I really become the deputy director of logistics, the factory leaders will definitely scold me to death."
Director Li was very satisfied with Wang Dong's answer and continued with a smile: "You are a smart boy!"
"Age is your weakness."
"In the next few years, even if you have the ability, you won't be promoted to deputy director..."
"After all, being a deputy director means you have cadre status, and a worker-to-cadre transition would be too eye-catching for you."
"If you want to increase your salary, the easiest way is to upgrade your work level and take more banquets outside. If I have the resources, I will introduce them to you!"
"Don't ever think of reaching the sky in one step!"
"If you need anything, just tell me. I can't do anything else, but I can still reward you with some bills."
