Chapter 586: The Sensation Caused by Welfare

Chapter 586: The Sensation Caused by Welfare

But Zhou Tian thought that in this matter, the workers should be given some milk powder and malted milk. After all, in recent years, due to the rapid development of the national economy, the production of milk powder and malted milk has increased a lot.

Although these products are still considered luxury goods in China, they are nothing compared to the current research institutes, especially as the number of workers getting married has increased in recent years.

The birth rate of newborn babies has also reached a peak. As a result, distributing some rice and flour is actually not as useful to working-class families as milk powder.

"OK then!"

Zhang Mingzhi was finally convinced by Zhou Tian and had no choice but to nod and agree.

As the new year approaches, workers from various branches of the institute are also discussing this year's New Year benefits.

Although the things distributed every year are almost the same, everyone still enjoys talking about the benefits when the New Year is approaching.

"Silly Zhu, do you think there will be any changes to the benefits of our institute this year?"

Zhang Hai asked He Yuzhu beside him while cutting vegetables.

"How would I know? But I still hope this year's benefits can be different. It's the same old same thing every year. I'm almost tired of it!"

He Yuzhu said without turning his head while frying a large pot of food.

As a family of cooks, he has never lacked food since he was a child. Although the benefits provided by the research institute are indeed more than those of other factories, the problem is that for him, this is nothing special. At most, he can show off in the courtyard.

"Silly Zhu, your cook is the best. I am not that good. There are many people in my family, so I still hope to get more rice, flour and oil!"

Zhou Jianjun, who was standing by, was cutting the cubes while looking at the two of them with envy.

His family of seven is supported only by his and his father's work at the garbage recycling station. To be honest, he feels a lot of pressure in life. Even though there is no shortage of food in the city, there is a shortage of food coupons.

His mother and three younger sisters all have rural household registration. If he and his father had not replaced the quota of fine grains with coarse grains in recent years, his family would probably not have had enough to eat.

"Jianjun, why do you envy us? Your second brother has been admitted to a technical secondary school. Even if your family is in trouble, it is only temporary. As long as your second brother graduates from the technical secondary school, your family's life will definitely get better. And I heard that your three sisters are also good at studying. In the future, I'm afraid your family will soon turn things around."

Zhang Hai naturally noticed the envy in Zhou Jianjun's eyes, and said unhappily that Zhou Jianjun envied them. In fact, he also envied Zhou Jianjun's family.

"Okay, everyone, please pay attention. The leaders of the institute just held a meeting and decided to close the institute from the day after tomorrow. After get off work today, everyone can go to the logistics department to collect their benefits!"

Just then, the cafeteria director Shangguan Ming walked in from outside, clapped his hands and looked at everyone.

"Really? Director, didn't we always have a holiday on the 28th before? Why is it earlier this year?"

When Zhang Hai heard what the canteen director said, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"What's wrong? Isn't it good to be early? Zhang Hai, stop making trouble for me. You are the talkative kid in the cafeteria!"

Shangguan Ming glared at him when he heard this, then continued to look at everyone and ordered: "As for the cafeteria, everyone must come tomorrow. No leave is allowed. Clean the cafeteria for me before you can leave work. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Director!"

Everyone in the cafeteria responded happily. After all, how could anyone not be happy to have a day off early?

"By the way, Director, do you know if there are any changes to the welfare of our institute this year? Is it still the same rice, flour and oil?"

After giving instructions to everyone, Shangguan Ming was about to leave, but before he turned around, he heard Zhang Hai ask this question.

Shangguan Ming paused for a moment, seeing everyone looking at him expectantly. After thinking for a while, he said, "What exactly is this year's benefit? I shouldn't have told you, but since you asked, I'll tell you. The benefits include not only rice, flour and oil, but also milk powder and malted milk. I heard that this is the benefit that the dean fought for for us. As for what you want to choose, it's up to you!"

After saying that, Shangguan Ming left the cafeteria without looking back.

After he left completely, everyone in the cafeteria finally woke up from what the director had just said.

"Oh my god, did I hear that right? This year our welfare benefits even include milk powder and malted milk?"

A kitchen helper couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"That's exactly what the director said just now. No, we have to cook quickly. After everyone has finished eating, we will go to the logistics department immediately. Otherwise, I'm afraid all these things will be taken away by those people in the logistics department!"

Another kitchen helper also said excitedly.

You have to know that these are milk powder and malted milk. Although everyone's life is much better now, malted milk and milk powder were luxury goods that could not be bought even if you had money in the past.

I didn’t expect that the welfare of the institute this year would be so awesome. In an instant, the speed of everyone in the cafeteria unknowingly increased a lot.

Even He Yuzhu, who had always been somewhat numb to the welfare of the research institute, couldn't help but speed up his movements a little when he heard about this year's welfare. If it was really as the canteen director said, and the welfare included milk powder and malted milk, then I'm afraid that the jealousy of the workers in other factories would explode this year.

As the lunch bell rang.

Soon, groups of workers and technicians lined up in neat queues and swarmed towards the cafeteria. The well-informed technicians also talked about the benefits of the institute this year.

Once one person knows it, it is no longer a secret. You tell me, I tell you, and soon, the workers and technicians eating in the cafeteria all know the news, and as the news spreads.

Before the end of the shift, the logistics department was already crowded with workers and technicians waiting to receive their benefits.

When the first person received the benefit, and the people in line saw that there was indeed milk powder and malted milk, their eyes were filled with envy and anticipation that seemed to be about to overflow.

On a high-rise building opposite the Logistics Department, Zhou Tian and Zhang Mingzhi looked at the scene in front of them through the window glass, and both of them couldn't help but smile.

"How about it? I said that if we change the benefits this time, the effect will definitely be very good!"

Zhou Tian looked at Zhang Mingzhi with a smug look on his face.

"It's all thanks to the dean, okay? But to be honest, when I first went to the milk powder factory, I was very nervous. But I didn't expect that when I proposed to replace the home appliances, the director of the milk powder factory wanted to give us all the unplanned milk powder!"

Zhang Mingzhi first gave an exaggerated compliment, and then said with some emotion.

After all, in his impression, milk powder has always been a luxury item, and he has never thought of exchanging it for unplanned home appliances. If the dean had not suggested it, he probably would not have been able to bring back so much milk powder and malted milk from the milk powder factory.
