Chapter 215 The Same Santi
Su Xia stared at Santi, who looked back at him without showing any guilt.
Su Xia was the first to look away and said, "If you want to become the cafeteria manager, it doesn't matter what you say or what I say. Everything depends on your grades."
"If you really want to become a cafeteria manager, then work hard. Even if you get the highest score in the first round, there is still a cooking competition. I don't think you are a match for Yixian, Mutsu and others." Su Xia looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows, and outside the windows was the vast ocean.
"Honestly, I've always wanted to complain about this, I don't understand it." Santi said, "Canteen management is a management position, why does it require a culinary exam?"
Su Xia replied: "Since you are managing a large canteen, you must know cooking skills, otherwise it would be like an amateur guiding an expert. And, after all, it is a management position, not just a chef position, so management ability is also tested."
Santi hesitated for a second before finally saying, "Okay, Admiral, as long as you have a plan."
"Anyway," Santi said, "My cooking skills are not as good as yours, but your management skills are not as good as mine, and we don't know who will win. Anyway, I, Santi, am least afraid of challenges."
Santi clenched his fists and said, "I am not running for the canteen management position for profit. I am running for the canteen management position for social responsibility. I will never lose."
Seeing Santi's high morale, just like the protagonist of a passionate comic book, Su Xia couldn't help but pat the bar and said, "Well said, you are running for the canteen management position out of a sense of responsibility. I am moved by you. I support you, Santi."
"To be honest, when I talked to Shengli about you this morning, she didn't trust you at all, but I still believed her a little bit." Su Xia said, "When I go back, I will tell her that Santi is a businessman with a sense of social responsibility, not one of those profiteers."
"It doesn't matter. I'm used to it." Santi said, "As long as the admiral trusts me, it's fine."
"No, no, no, it's not enough. My trust alone is not enough. I want everyone to know you again and not be blinded by prejudice." Su Xia said, "Everyone says that Santi only cares about money. If there is no benefit in managing the cafeteria, but Santi is happy with it, then the rumors will be broken."
"If I were to be the manager of this canteen, I would remember every expense of the canteen clearly and make it public for everyone to question," Santi said affirmatively.
Su Xia said: "I originally thought that whoever manages this cafeteria would be the one to take care of it. Now, in order to make everyone trust Santi, Santi is not running for money or any other benefits, but for a sense of social responsibility. I plan to improve the cafeteria management regulations."
Santi said: "Of course I am applying for the canteen management position out of social responsibility. But I am a little curious about how the admiral plans to improve the canteen management regulations."
Su Xia sat on a high stool next to the bar, leaning against it, and said, "First of all, every expense in the cafeteria must be clearly stated, such as the price of each pound of potatoes, including where they were purchased from. This must be clearly stated, and everyone's questions must be accepted."
“No problem,” said Santi.
"Wait a minute, I think this is still inappropriate." Su Xia said.
Sang asked, "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong with that... The canteen management should only be responsible for management. The personnel power cannot be given to the management, but must be controlled by the office, otherwise the canteen will become a country of its own." Su Xia said, "The management only has the right to propose, not the right to decide. Including purchasing, chefs, all employees are appointed and dismissed by the office."
Su Xia looked at Santi and said, "Let's make this rule: All employees in the cafeteria will be appointed and dismissed by the office. Whoever is dissatisfied will blame the office. If Santi is in charge of the cafeteria, people won't question his nepotism from the beginning."
Santi nodded repeatedly and said exaggeratedly: "What a good idea."
Su Xia continued, "In addition, the cafeteria is completely free, and all consumption is funded by the office. No additional fee windows are allowed. Shops can appear, but the office is responsible for renting these shops. No one can decide who to rent them to. It must be auctioned publicly, with everyone bidding together, and the highest bidder wins."
"Okay." Santi nodded and had nothing else to say.
Su Xia patted her thigh and said, "My plan is that once this big cafeteria opens, everyone in the garrison will come to eat. Does this count as traffic? As long as I put an advertisement here, the jewelry store has new products, the milk tea shop has new drinks, and the supermarket has big discounts, everyone in the garrison will know about it."
"Who is allowed to advertise in the cafeteria and how much it will cost should be handled by the office," Su Xia said. "Otherwise, leaving it to the cafeteria will breed corruption."
Santi bit her lip and nodded. After thinking for a while, she said, "The management of the cafeteria may be corrupted because of power. It may be handed over to the office, to the Victory, or to L20. They may also be corrupted because of power. Whether this power is given to the cafeteria management or the office, it is the same."
"If you employ someone, you must trust him. If you don't trust him, don't employ him. If you employ someone, you must trust him." Su Xia said, "I trust Santi. If Santi is the manager of the cafeteria, others may doubt him. Why don't we let the office manage it? Then people can only doubt us, not Santi."
Santi said: "I am not afraid of suspicion. If you are upright, you will not be afraid of being criticized."
"Santi may not care, but I cannot." Su Xia said, "I cannot stand my shipgirl being suspected. I cannot let Santi suffer any injustice, otherwise why would I be the admiral."
"Admiral, you can't let everyone in the office be suspected because of me." Santi said, "I don't want the admiral to be partial to me and hurt others."
"There's really no other way. Why don't I do it?" Su Xia said, "I'll take care of these things. It's the admiral's job. I'll see who dares to say bad things about me. Don't blame me for being rude."
"I'm sure everyone dares not doubt the admiral." Santi paused, "But the admiral is already so busy, and he has to take charge of so many tasks. It's too hard for the admiral. If I exhaust the admiral, I will be the sinner."
"No problem, it's a small matter." Su Xia said.
Santi said: "There is no trivial matter in the imperial family, and there is no trivial matter for the admiral."
"Indeed, if I take care of everything, it's not good. I'm too busy." Su Xia said that with more things to do, it's inevitable that he will have less time to spend with everyone. It seems that his main responsibility as an admiral has never been work, but to accompany everyone, to accompany work.
"That's right, that's right." Santi nodded repeatedly.
"How about this," Su Xia said, "If Santi becomes the cafeteria manager, I will find two people to keep an eye on him, mainly as a shield to prevent people from suspecting Santi. It's impossible for everyone to go along with him, so that everyone can trust Santi and not have any extra thoughts."
Sang asked, "Who is the Admiral going to let keep an eye on me?"
"Or Soviet ships, let me think... yes, Kutuzov and Murmansk. Or Japanese ships, Tianlong and Ryuta. The German Admiral Hipper is also OK." Su Xia said.
Su Xia smiled and said, "If it were them, their relationship with Santi would be quite antagonistic. They would either be quite strict and would never go along with Santi. Santi agreed to accept such strict supervision, which means that Santi has no extra thoughts and everything is done for social responsibility."
Su Xia asked, "Is Santi okay?"
"No, it's no problem," said Santi.
"Then it's a happy decision." Su Xia said, "In addition, this is just a preliminary idea and is not yet certain. I will discuss it with Victory and listen to her opinions. Anyway, I want to tell Victory that Santi is not the person she imagined. No matter what strict rules she uses to restrict Santi or question Santi, Santi is not afraid of her."
Santi nodded, and nodded again.
Su Xia took out her phone and looked at it, then said, "That's it. I'm going to go back and take a rest and take a nap. Sang, please prepare in advance. I believe you can do it."
"I can only say that I'll try my best." Santi said, "You know, I have to take care of the opening of these stores these days, and the cooking competition will start in two days . I know my cooking skills, and it's useless to cram at the last minute. I can't compete with Yixian, Mutsu and others..."
"I really can't be the manager of a large canteen. Anyway, Santi is not going there for profit, but for social responsibility..." Su Xia said, "Santi can donate money to sponsor this cooking competition."
"Can I get advertising space by sponsoring a cooking competition?" Sang asked.
"Well, if you want advertising space, it's not for social responsibility," said Su Xia.
"I'm just asking," Santi said. "I'm not going to sponsor. The landlord doesn't have any surplus food. Admiral, you know, I have several stores to open, and all of them cost money. I also need to recruit and poach people, such as Archerfish and Fletcher."
Santi said, "Unless we don't care about it here, the cafe will open later. In fact, the funds are a bit tight now, how can we sponsor the cooking competition?"
"Then make yourself at home." Su Xia said, "To be honest, this single apartment is a bit small, mainly because it is too far from the commercial building. If I want to buy something or have a drink, I have to walk a long way, and it is also far from the office. If Santi doesn't plan to open a store, I might move to another place for convenience."
"Open, prepare to open the store, no problem." Santi said, "I have sufficient funds here."
Su Xia yawned and waved her hand: "Whatever, I'm really a little tired, I'm going to sleep."
Santi saw Suxia off and stood alone in the cafe with his chest heaving.
Walking in the corridor, it was Su Xia's turn to sneer.
