Chapter 325: Credit depends on snatching and packaging
After listening to the report from the leader of Gejiang City Company, Director Li was not very happy, but he did not lose his temper. He just spoke in a harsh tone, but he knew when to stop and later praised Gejiang City Company.
When it comes to lunch, Mr. Li has only one request, which is to eat in the company cafeteria.
Mr. Cao had no choice but to quickly make arrangements.
At half past twelve , Chu Yang followed everyone to the cafeteria, only to see a table full of dishes, the kind that could accommodate 20 people. They had already been arranged densely. And it was not just densely packed, the dishes that could not fit had been stacked up and down.
Chu Yang took a glance and saw everything there, things flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and some of them were food that couldn’t be easily revealed.
Chu Yang knew at a glance that they must have booked a banquet at the hotel long ago, and when they saw that they were unwilling to go, they asked someone to send it over. Otherwise, where would these birds and beasts come from? Director Li took a few glances and said nothing, but just sat down calmly.
Seeing that there were only a few people from the Gejiang City Company in the cafeteria and no one else had come in, Director Li frowned and said, "Cao Hong, go and call your people over to eat together. There are so many dishes, how can we finish them all?" Director Li still cares about the masses.
Cao Hong replied awkwardly: "Well, well, Mr. Li and his friends are probably a little timid and don't dare to sit at the same table with you. Let's ignore them for now."
Director Li was a little unhappy: "How can this be possible? If we eat, they don't have to eat?"
Zhang Shuyu said immediately: "Boss Cao, there are so many dishes. How about we divide some of them to the table next door and let your people come in to eat. This way it won't have any impact."
Cao Hong understood immediately and made arrangements.
Chu Yang glanced at the young woman Zhang Shuyu. She was indeed unique and always handled things just right.
As soon as the meal started, General Manager Cao came over to toast: "Boss Li, I'd like to toast you. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to Gejiang to guide our work. It really makes our humble home shine. Everyone is very excited today, so when we report on our work, we are a little bit..."
Director Li didn't wait for him to finish, he shook his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about that, it's boring to talk too much, don't toast yet, listen to me, to be honest, I have been the chairman for many years, 7 years, it's actually my second time to come to Gejiang, the last time was three or four years ago, I am very ashamed, I should have come earlier , come on comrades (Director Li stood up and raised his glass to the person next to him), I want to toast you, you all work at the grassroots level, very hard, let's drink this glass together."
Director Li was also very arrogant. After he finished speaking, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. No one was really expecting this and they were all busy. Some of the people who had just come in to eat had not found their cups yet, some had cups but had not poured wine into them, and some had poured wine but felt it was not full enough. Anyway, everyone hurried to add something to their cups for fear of being impolite.
In fact, Director Li didn't care about them anymore. He couldn't see whether they drank or not. But it was as if there was an invisible hand controlling them, forcing them to complete the prescribed actions.
After Director Li toasted, everyone followed the usual etiquette and raised their glasses in turn. Director Cao was also a big drinker and drank the whole round by himself. Chu Yang saw that his whole face was flushed red. He didn't know if it was because he couldn't hold his liquor, but he started to talk more and even dared to complain.
"Boss Li, our work is really difficult now . You know, our power company was so powerful before. We were the superiors, right? If anyone dared to disobey, we would just cut off the power and that was it. There was no need to worry about so many trivial matters. Now, we are just grandsons. When someone complains, we get anxious and exhausted. We have to explain to them for a long time when we need to shut down the power for maintenance and inspection. We have to be there as soon as possible when there is any fault. This makes us power workers live with less dignity."
Chu Yang was listening to these words from the side. In fact, they were all true, but the truth cannot be spoken out loud.
Director Li frowned and said, "Boss Cao, your ideological awareness is low. What era is it now? Why do you still think we are the power tyrant? Our company has now transformed into a service-oriented one, serving the masses. If you don't change your mindset and broaden your horizons, I don't think you can continue this job."
Cao Hong then realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his neck turned red.
Zhang Shuyu said, "Boss Cao, actually, Boss Li knows that everyone's work is difficult and he is worried about it day and night, so he came out to visit everyone this time. However, you still have to correct your thinking. As leaders, we must set an example."
Cao Hong quickly nodded to admit his mistake and punished himself by drinking three more cups. This time his face turned even redder.
After lunch and a short rest, Mr. Li suggested going to the power supply station in the urban area, which was part of the scheduled itinerary.
When he arrived at the power supply station, Chu Yang saw that everyone was there, the hygiene was very good, and there were many green plants. They were probably aware that Mr. Li was coming, so they moved them in yesterday to serve as a backdrop.
Looking at the young employees who were at a loss, Director Li waved to them and they shouted in unison: "Hello, Director Li." But some people were very shy and avoided Director Li when they saw him, or hid in the toilet.
A young man in a suit and tie, about the same age as Chu Yang, came out and greeted him respectfully: "Welcome Mr. Li to our Gecheng Power Supply Station to give us guidance on our work." Chu Yang knew this man; he was also at the company's cadre training class last month.
The man's name was Cao Long, but Chu Yang had no connection with him. Once, in a professional class, the teacher asked random questions and he couldn't answer a few of them. He felt that this man was unremarkable.
When he saw Chu Yang, he smiled awkwardly and lowered his head. You know, in the training class, Chu Yang was a brilliant figure.
We sat down and had some tea.
Mr. Cao introduced: "Mr. Li, this is Cao Long, the director of our Gecheng Power Supply Station. He is an outstanding operator of our company and the leader of our company's rural power grid transformation. Last year, he led our Gecheng Power Supply Station to overcome difficulties and made great contributions to the company's rural power grid transformation."
Chu Yang was slightly surprised. It was true that one cannot judge a person by his appearance.
It seems that I still look down on others.
After listening to him, Director Li looked at the young man and said, "That's right. Now the transformation of rural power grids depends on young people like you. I remember you were one of the top ten outstanding young people in the company two years ago, and I gave you an award."
Cao Long's face turned a little red, and he nodded awkwardly again.
Director Li asked him about the basic situation of the power supply station. He answered fluently, but when asked about the specific situation, he hesitated. This made Chu Yang feel a little unbelievable. It was the deputy director Shen Ke beside him who helped to answer the question.
I guess the director is busy with other things.
Chu Yang sat there for a while before he felt the urge to pee. Feeling that this conversation would not be over for a while, he said something to Minister Zhang and went out to the toilet.
I ate a little too much today. After all, the food was really good, so it took me a little longer to defecate.
Two employees also came in to use the restroom and talked in low voices.
"It's funny. You said that Cao Long was not in the station for a long time, but today when the leader came, he actually showed up."
"He's trying to take credit, to be in the spotlight, he's not stupid."
"Haha, it will be funny if you don't know anything about it later."
"Silly, who is his father? Mr. Cao has already arranged it. How can it be so easy to destroy the Gejiang brand that he has worked so hard to build?"
"That's right. These days, credit has to be snatched and all depends on packaging."
Chu Yang finally understood!!
