Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 121 Unexpected Conflict

With the support of her family, Qi Yan decided to quit her job as a substitute teacher. It was a temporary job in itself, so there was nothing to regret about quitting it.

Du Shaojie admires this family very much. Once they make up their minds to something, they will move forward without hesitation.

"Okay, you guys walk back slowly, I have to leave quickly."

After Du Shaojie finished speaking, he rode his bike straight to the office.

He had no habit of being late or leaving early, so he ran all the way and finally walked into the cafeteria before work.

He had already had breakfast at home and had nothing to do. Seeing Liao Yongxin standing outside the back door smoking, he ran out to chat with him.

"You came at the right time. Wang Bin came over earlier and told us that Director Huang wanted to talk to us this morning."

Liao Yongxin squinted his eyes, glanced at Du Shaojie, and told him a piece of news in a bland tone.

Director Huang refers to Huang Yicheng, the deputy director of the unit. Chen Jizhou is the top leader, in charge of the overall situation, and Huang Yicheng is in charge of logistics.

"What does Director Huang want us to do? He can't promote both of us at the same time, right?"

Du Shaojie responded with a smile, not taking it too seriously.

Liao Yongxin didn't know the specific situation, so he was even less worried. He said promotion was nonsense, but if he was told that there was something bad happening, he wouldn't believe it at all.

There are only two cooks, one old and one young. They have no power or influence and do not handle money or other things, so they have no conditions to make mistakes.

Half past ten.

Du Shaojie and Liao Yongxin came to Huang Yicheng's office, who was processing official documents at the time. When he saw them, he looked cold and didn't say anything. He just pointed to the wooden sofa against the wall and asked them to sit down first.

Liao Yongxin curled his lips and immediately his face darkened.

In the bureau, even Chen Jizhou would not give him the cold shoulder. Huang Yicheng has only been here for a few years, but his temper has gradually worsened.

"I called you today because I have something to ask you two. Someone told me that you two often help others to organize banquets together. Let's not talk about the payment. If you took the payment, it would be absolutely wrong.

Just say what kind of impact your actions will have on the unit, have you ever thought about it? Lao Liao, you are an old comrade, you should have a higher level of awareness. And you, Xiao Du, you are still young, you should put more energy into your work. "

Huang Yicheng was busy with his own work for a while, then he looked up and started to lecture him.

This made Du Shaojie a little confused. He and Liao Yongxin went out to host banquets, but they never took up working time and never used the name of the unit.

I don't know where to start with the statement that it has caused adverse effects on the unit.

"Deputy Director Huang, I, Old Liao, don't like what you said. I don't know which bastard is spreading gossip and making trouble. What's wrong with me using my break time to help people cook? If you think I, Old Liao, made a mistake, then bring out the documents, or stop talking nonsense."

Liao Yongxin stood up suddenly, pointed at Huang Yicheng's nose and started spraying.

The other party's behavior almost made Du Shaojie unable to handle it.

He knew Liao Yongxin was a big shot since he just started working, but he didn't expect that he was so "big shot" that he was almost pointing at the deputy director's nose and cursing.

Du Shaojie quickly stepped forward and grabbed Liao Yongxin, and finally persuaded him to sit down again.

"you!"

Huang Yichen was shaking with anger. He just couldn't understand: You are a formal employee, receiving salary and allowances from the state, but you are actually making extra money outside. Aren't you ashamed?
I just criticized him in a tactful way, and he jumped up first.

Of course, Huang Yicheng didn't think the two had made a big mistake, but a small mistake is still a mistake, so how could he not point it out? But when Liao Yongxin asked him to get the documents, he really couldn't get them out.

"Director Huang, there are some things we haven't considered carefully. We will try to pay more attention to them in the future. Alas, sometimes we have no choice. When friends, relatives, and neighbors ask us for help, we really can't refuse.

Well, I'll make a promise here that no matter what happens in the future, I won't let it affect my job. As for causing a bad impact on the unit, it's not that bad. We didn't report the unit's name when we went out."

Afterwards, Du Shaojie expressed his position with a very sincere attitude.

Huang Yicheng originally thought that the old ones were throwing tantrums and the young ones would be more obedient, but it turned out that Du Shaojie was simply a sly guy.

His words were flawless, as if he had said everything, and yet it seemed like he had said nothing.

Huang Yicheng was not successful during Wu Mingde's time, and during Chen Jizhou's time, he felt that his presence was even lower. Even the two chefs in the cafeteria didn't buy his ideas, so what else could he say?

He waved his hand and drove them out. Then he called Wang Bin and gave him a scolding.

Huang Yicheng didn't bother to argue with the two workers in the cafeteria, but he was not polite at all to Wang Bin, the head of the general affairs section.

Du Shaojie followed behind the angry Liao Yongxin, and couldn't understand why Huang Yicheng did this. As long as it didn't affect work, even state-owned restaurants wouldn't care about helping in the kitchen, and it didn't violate the policy, right?

He took jobs outside, and the amount of compensation depended entirely on the wishes of the employer. He didn't expect that he would still be targeted. "No, I have to go talk to Chen Jizhou. Xiao Du, go back first and don't get involved in this."

Just as he reached the stairs, Liao Yongxin suddenly stopped. The more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable.

He didn't even call Chen Jizhou by his title, but just called him by his name, which showed that the old man was really angry. After that, he rushed directly to the director's office and asked Du Shaojie to go back to the cafeteria first.

By the time Du Shaojie reacted, the person was gone.

"What is this?"

Du Shaojie shook his head and walked back slowly.

Liao Yongxin was not there, so Du Shaojie started to arrange lunch. He asked the canteen manager Tang Li, and he knew there was still a lot of mutton left, so he decided to make noodles.

There are two choices, spicy pork noodles and leek pork noodles. You can order what you like.

After he finished cooking two dishes, Liao Yongxin slowly walked in from outside. Judging from his face, he seemed to have calmed down and returned to his carefree attitude.

He went to find Chen Jizhou at that time. After Chen Jizhou learned about the situation, helplessness was written all over his face.

Each and every one of them is a cause for concern, including Huang Yicheng. What's the point of making a fuss over such trivial matters?
Chen Jizhou did not deny that Huang Yicheng was an upright person, but he was too principled and lacked flexibility, which was really a headache.

And Liao Yongxin, this troublemaker, could have presented facts and reasoned with him if he was not convinced, why did he confront him in person? He was the second-in-command of the unit after all, but Liao Yongxin didn't even have this awareness.

What to do? Let's cook it cold.

Chen Jizhou had no choice but to try to smooth things over and finally managed to send Liao Yongxin away.

Afterwards, Wang Bin came to Chen Jizhou again and complained to him, saying that Huang Yicheng scolded him without any reason and it was totally incomprehensible.

Now, Chen Jizhou was unhappy, and went to Huang Yicheng to give him some tactful advice.

I thought the matter was over, but I didn't expect that there would be an even bigger storm waiting to come.

That afternoon, the bureau held a general staff meeting to convey the document. After reading the manuscript, Chen Jizhou gave an impromptu speech, then turned to Huang Yicheng and said, "Director Huang, you can also talk about it."

"Then let me say a few words. First of all, we must understand the spirit of the document and do our job conscientiously. What do we rely on to achieve the "four modernizations"? It depends on the efforts of each of us."

Huang Yicheng's speaking skills are quite good. He didn't need to prepare a draft when speaking and spoke for nearly twenty minutes in one breath.

Just when everyone thought he was going to finish, he unexpectedly changed the subject and started to get into practical matters.

"Recently, some comrades in the unit have not been concentrating on their own work but have been trying to make extra money outside. Comrades, if everyone is like this, how can we achieve our development goals?

Here I want to criticize Comrade Liao Yongxin and Comrade Du Shaojie from the canteen. I hope you can learn from the previous lessons, draw inferences from one instance, and not make the same mistake again. "

The meeting place was silent, and many people looked at Huang Yicheng with strange eyes.

There are only so many people and things in the unit. The conflict between Liao Yongxin and Huang Yicheng broke out in the office that day, and it had already spread to all departments.

In fact, most employees did not take it seriously and thought Huang Yicheng was just looking for trouble.

In the past, there were old employees in the unit who held banquets for their children. Master Liao’s efforts not only saved costs but also made the guests satisfied with the food. How could a good thing that killed two birds with one stone become a mistake?
No matter what, we live in a society where human relationships are important. Do you understand how to interact with people?

Chen Jizhou, Zhai Yucheng and several other leaders also exchanged glances secretly. It can be seen that they were also helpless. They did not expect Huang Yicheng to suddenly attack in this situation.

Liao Yongxin was furious and stood up from his seat.

"Deputy Director Huang, I don't accept your criticism! It's not whoever has the loudest voice that holds the truth. You said we were making extra money, what evidence do you have? Time, place, testimony from the host, tell me!

Without evidence, you are just "accusing others of something and beating them with a stick". I will report you to my superiors by real name. Besides, isn't it normal for me to use my rest time to help my relatives and friends organize a wedding banquet?

Just because you are a high-ranking official doesn't mean you can slander people at will. If you say I made a mistake, please show me the document. If the document says that you can't have personal relationships during your spare time, I accept the criticism and apologize to you. If you can't show it, you are retaliating against the masses."

Liao Yongxin is a very good talker. He spoke a lot and was very organized.

There was a sudden burst of laughter in the meeting hall, and no one knew who it was directed at.

Huang Yichen's face turned red with anger. He felt that he was not wrong, but the same thing still happened: he didn't have the documents when asked to do so.

"Liao Yongxin, sit down! Look at what you look like in the roaring meeting. Director Huang's words may be a bit harsh, but his starting point is to remind you not to affect your job duties. Is there anything wrong with that?
They didn't make a big deal out of it, and they didn't mention punishment from the beginning to the end, right? We should be more humble when facing criticism. Some things are well known to everyone, and there is no point in talking about them.

Also, all of you who are making trouble, stand up. This is outrageous, do you still have any discipline? Liao Yongxin, go down and write a self-criticism and give it to me. Those who are making trouble will stand for another half an hour, and the meeting is adjourned! "

Chen Jizhou shouted loudly, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
