Chapter 478 Working People Are the Most Glorious
The cafeteria is unusually busy today because of the farewell party.
Not only do they have to prepare the lunch reception today, they also have to decorate the cafeteria rooms.
Although they are all face-saving projects that are not very practical, they can also show the steel mill's team of Russian engineers.
There were many people attending the farewell party today, not just Yuri and his group, but also Director Liang and the engineers and technicians he brought with him.
So there are three tables for today's reception.
Therefore, Chen Jun came to the factory early, first wrote a list of dishes for today to Master Li and Master Liu, and then arranged for the people in the kitchen to start working.
Today's logistics have also improved, and a lot of fresh wild grasses have been delivered.
Director Song even specifically requested for vegetable steamed bread and asked the canteen to prepare more.
Chen Jun directly handed over the method of making steamed bread to the people in the kitchen, so he didn't have to do it himself.
After working briskly until 10:30 in the morning, a handyman ran in and told Chen Jun that he had to prepare more treats at noon.
Upon inquiry, it turned out that the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee also had a lunch reception and had specifically asked Chen Jun to do it.
Deputy Director of the Revolutionary Committee?
Chen Jun thought for several seconds before realizing who it was.
Isn’t this Li Huaide!
This guy’s current position is not the deputy director of the steel mill, but the power of this deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee is almost the same as that of the deputy director.
There was no way he didn't know that today was the day the Mao Xiong engineer left the steel mill.
If you don't attend the farewell party for the Russian engineer, why would you host one yourself?
The cafeteria was already busy today, and now we have to add to the workload.
Sha Zhu, who was cooking in a big pot nearby, heard the noise and couldn't help but say, "Director Chen, I heard from people in the factory that Deputy Director Li is very concerned about his reputation. We'd better prepare a few more dishes for his reception to prevent him from causing trouble."
Chen Jun glanced at Sha Zhu and said calmly, "Besides wanting to save face, you are also very petty, right?"
"Hey, that's not what I said." Sha Zhu laughed foolishly twice, then lowered his head and waved the spatula again.
What the handyman just conveyed was that he wanted the kitchen to prepare more for today's reception, and it was obvious that he wanted to set the same standard as the farewell party.
But as a deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee, you don’t have such high standards when organizing receptions.
The steel rolling mill has very clear rules and regulations for reception banquets. Not to mention Li Huaide, even if Director Yang entertains some customers, the standards are far from meeting those of a farewell party.
It is no exaggeration to say that the hospitality provided to Yuri and his people is the most advanced standard in the steel rolling mill. It is so advanced that there are no standards at all. The better the hospitality can be, the better it can be, and there is no upper limit to the hospitality expenses.
Therefore, Chen Jun planned to prepare a reception meal for Li Huaide according to the factory standards and in compliance with the rules, and add two extra vegetarian or cold dishes as a way of giving him face.
Chen Jun worked until twelve o'clock in the morning to prepare the farewell party banquet.
After sitting down and drinking some tea, Chen Jun did not rest but continued to entertain Liu Huaide.
Although working in the cafeteria was very busy and tiring today, Chen Jun was happy in his heart.
Because Yuri and the others left, the days of working overtime in the cafeteria are gone forever. From now on, if there is a reception, he will work as a receptionist. If there is no reception, he can have a whole day off and live the same free and easy life as Director Song once did.
Chen Jun has already made plans to buy some more books and put them in the office so that he can read books, newspapers and drink tea in his spare time.
"Liu Lan, the food is ready."
Since the dishes have been prepared, Chen Jun serves the food very quickly.
It didn't take much time to prepare six dishes.
He prepared twelve dishes for Li Huaide's reception, including three meat dishes, eight vegetable dishes and one soup, which was a pretty good standard.
But no one expected that just after ten of the twelve dishes were served, Li Huaide rushed into the kitchen with a gloomy face.
Seeing Chen Jun cooking soup, Li Huaide coughed twice and said dissatisfiedly: "Chen Jun, there should be no contradiction between us, right?"
No contradiction?
Chen Jun glanced at Li Huaide and shook his head calmly: "No!"
Although he said no, Chen Jun was already thinking about the trouble he had encountered with Director Song last time. Li Huaide's figure was obviously behind that incident.
But it also indirectly affected the cafeteria.
Chen Jun didn't like Li Huaide in the first place, but there was no need to offend Li Huaide at today's reception.
No matter what, he was still the parachuted deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee and had much more power than him, the canteen director.
"Since we have no conflicts, why do you want to embarrass me?"
"Look at what you're serving. If you know, it's a reception meal, but if you don't, you might think it's the kind of food you feed sheep in the cafeteria! They're all vegetarian."
"Why are my standards different from Yang Weimin's? Do you know who I'm inviting to dinner today?" Li Huaide glared at Chen Jun coldly, "Quickly remove the dishes that were just served and make a new table. If you can't do it well, your job as the canteen director will be over."
Ouch?
Are you still threatening?
Chen Jun couldn't help but frowned: "Deputy Director Li is so powerful that he can easily take down a canteen director like me?"
"I don't know who you are entertaining today, and I don't know if any of you are born in the Year of the Sheep."
"Anyway, I'm doing all the hospitality according to the factory's regulations. You can eat whatever I cook. If you don't want to eat, you can spend money to go out to eat. If that doesn't work, you can talk to Director Yang to change the hospitality standards."
Although Chen Jun didn't intend to have a grudge against Li Huaide, it didn't mean that he was afraid of Li Huaide.
What happened to the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee?
These days, the working people are the most glorious and the working class is the greatest.
Not to mention Li Huaide, the deputy director, even if he became the director of a steel mill, he would have no sense of superiority in front of the working class.
In fact, any worker picked out from the workshop is not much lower than Li Huaide in identity and social status.
As long as he doesn't make any mistakes in principle and doesn't cause any big trouble, even if he scolds Li Huaide to death today, Li Huaide will not fire him.
What is a "iron rice bowl"?
This is the iron rice bowl.
Li Huaide, the parachuted deputy director, had most of his power taken away by Li Huaide as soon as he arrived at the steel rolling mill. Instead of staying quiet and developing himself, he shook his head around the factory all day long, and always asked him, the canteen director, to work till the end. I really don't know what he is thinking.
Li Huaide was stunned for two seconds, then he became so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, and he slammed the table hard.
"Chen Jun, is this your attitude? I am your leader!"
He originally thought that Chen Jun was young and would be obedient if he just scared him a little.
But he never expected that Chen Jun would not give him any face at all!
Not only did he not redo the treat, but he even dared to contradict me. This is really outrageous.
