The Era of Hard Work

What kind of business is it? This is very important to Yang Feng, otherwise he would not have stayed in such a place as Taifeng Garden for so many years, seeing that the unit has difficulty in paying wages, so he didn't want to jump out.

The information about Yang Feng collected by Xue Tian, ​​even if he didn't meet Yang Feng, he still had a conceptual judgment. Now that he saw someone and heard such a question, he lightly touched Xu Man with the sole of his foot.

"Mr. Yang, Lu's Catering is a private enterprise." Xu Man doesn't need to say falsehoods. If you say falsehoods, it will be broken as soon as you poke it, and it will only be counterproductive: "It is now one of the largest private enterprises in Qingzhao County. Among them, it can also be ranked first.”

When Yang Feng heard this, he frowned: "Doesn't the public hold shares?"

Xu Man still told the truth: "There is no public share."

Yang Feng said the biggest problem: "That is to say, if I really want to transfer to your company, the career editor will be gone."

Xue Tian answered in time: "You can apply for a suspension of pay first, and we can help you run away from the Food Bureau. If you think Lu's catering is not good, you can come back."

"No, no." Yang Feng waved his hands hastily: "I am an iron rice bowl, and my income is guaranteed in drought and flood!"

Having said that, it's time for Xue Tian to play, this is her professional occasion.

Xue Tian is in charge of administration and personnel in Lu's Catering. The company has not stopped recruiting people in the past few years. She has seen too many job seekers, many of whom are from public institutions.

Xue Tian grasped the psychology of these people very clearly.

She knows that to deal with such a person, the first thing to do is to break the last illusion in the other party's mind: "Mr. Yang, you said that the current job guarantees income in drought and flood. As far as I know, Taifeng Garden has not paid wages for more than half a year, and it has not been paid for two years." A penny bonus."

These words touched Yang Feng's sore spot, the middle-aged man who was about to make life and pressure smooth out his edges and corners, his expression was somewhat ugly.

In the eyes of their generation, it is only natural for a man to earn money to support his family. Can a man who cannot take money from his family be considered a man?

For today's meeting, Lu's Catering collected a lot of information, and Xue Tian and Xu Man made full preparations.

Xue Tian further said: "Taifeng Garden has been losing money every year since 1996. Five years have passed, and the annual loss has doubled. It can persist until today, thanks to the allocation of funds from the Municipal Grain Bureau. Teacher Yang, you are here I work in Taifeng Garden, and I am still an old employee among the old employees, let me ask you, can Taifeng Garden turn losses into profits?"

For such an obvious matter, Yang Feng couldn't open his eyes wide and talk nonsense, he just frowned and didn't speak.

Xu Man took over the conversation at this time: "Mr. Yang, you know better than me how many time-honored brands in Quannan have gone bankrupt in the past few years. For example, the companies under the Grain Bureau are Jufengde, which is the largest in scale, the best in location, and the hottest in business. , are ready to sell, can Taifengyuan be alone? We are also in the catering business. To put it bluntly, these traditional time-honored brands are indeed representatives of Shandong cuisine, but from service to management, who can compare with it? Catering companies like ours with modern management?"

She glanced at Yang Feng and said, "After selling Jufengde, will the Grain Bureau keep Taifeng Garden? Don't forget, the Grain Bureau has set up the Jindeli fast food chain. This is what the leaders like. Jufengde, the next one must be Taifeng Garden. By then, you will still be able to retain your establishment? There are so many public enterprises that have been reformed or sold in the city. Which company’s ordinary employees have you seen can still retain their establishment? ?”

Hearing these words in his ears, he peeled off layer by layer the protective film that Yang Feng had made for himself.

Yang Feng has spent half his life in the public sector, so he doesn't understand this? Can't see these? You know, many grassroots people in Quannan can argue with people for days and nights when it comes to astronomy, geography, and national policies. How could they not understand these things?

After all, the iron rice bowl has been held for too long, and I don't want to move, and I don't dare to move carelessly.

Even if the market economy has developed to the present, and I am used to eating public meals, how can I easily throw away my job and eat private meals?

Especially for those in their forties, there are too many people who find it difficult to change this psychological gap.

Xue Tian continued to peel the onion from personnel affairs: "I have asked someone about your leaders, and your leaders don't care what is going on with Taifeng Garden. Taifeng Garden lost money, closed down, or sold it. People at his level should pat their butts." Just change the place. Anyway, you are an official, you can be an official wherever you go. I have inquired with Brother Zhong. The two big leaders of your Taifeng Garden have already planned their way out. When the Food Bureau sells Taifeng Garden, they Go to the newly established Jindeli chain catering company and continue to be the leader."

Lao Zhong went out to make a phone call and never came back, but Yang Feng knew that no matter how dull his head was, the other party could not talk nonsense about this kind of matter.

"A leader is still a leader." Xue Tian asked a question that Yang Feng had thought about but didn't think about deeply: "But are employees still employees?"

Yang Feng knows exactly what Taifeng Garden looks like. What the other party said is not likely to become true, but... will definitely become true!

The protective film pulled up in Yang Feng's heart caused the two little girls to peel off layer by layer, which was somewhat annoyed, but he is not bad-tempered, and sometimes he can be thick-skinned, so he didn't say anything harsh.

It is precisely because he has known about Yang Feng's personality from a side, that Xue Tian dared to say so.

In the economy and society, no one can deny that the role that money can play is getting bigger and bigger and more obvious.

Therefore, most of Yang Feng's work unit and even his family situation are transparent to Xue Tian and Xu Man sitting here.

Xu Man said again: "Now is the era of market economy. Even so many big enterprises in the city have given up, let alone a Taifeng Garden?"

Xue Tian continued to say from the personnel point of view: "Mr. Yang, Lu's Catering is really sincere. If you join Lu's Catering Company, the basic salary of the position will start at 2,000, bonuses will be calculated separately, and there will be year-end bonuses at the end of the year. It will be less than $40,000."

Hearing this figure, Yang Feng's eyelids couldn't help but jump up. This kind of income is enough to make a man stand upright.

But still did not speak, because accepting these means giving up the establishment.

"Mr. Yang, we have no other good solution to the staffing problem other than suspending pay and staying on the job." Xue Tian said just right: "But in the situation of Taifeng Garden, even if you don't leave, your iron rice bowl will be destroyed for at most one year." Remove it from above, and you will also need to find a job at that time."

"I..." Yang Feng opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

After a while, he said: "Can the salary be paid on a monthly basis?"

Xue Tian said: "The salary of the previous month will be paid before the 15th of each month, and it will be advanced on weekends, and we will never default!"

Yang Feng's mood was complicated, and in the end he only said one sentence: "I'll think about it."

Xue Tian and Xu Man looked at each other, these two could be considered to be experienced, and the other party said to think about it, that was his heart.

Xu Man sent out an invitation at the right time, inviting Yang Feng to visit Lu's catering headquarters, stores, R\u0026D centers, distribution centers, etc. someday.

Formal companies can naturally increase their attractiveness.

Yang Feng didn't respond directly, but he didn't refuse either. Instead, he exchanged contact information with Xu Man and Xue Tian.

After talking about the conversation, Xue Tian went to pay the bill, and left with Xu Man first.

Yang Feng was not in a hurry to leave, and waited for a while at the door of the coffee shop. After a while, Lao Zhong came over.

The two parties have known each other for decades, and some things need not be false. Yang Feng confirmed from Lao Zhong that Xu Man and Xue Tian's words were true, and then told the story of the two women looking for him.

Lao Zhong said: "Old Yang, we have known each other since we were 12 or 13 years old. I will tell you the truth after decades of friendship. Taifeng Garden is hopeless. You want to have an iron job, but the higher authorities will The iron rice bowl is smashed, what do you do? Work is important, but work cannot be eaten! When we live to this age, we not only live for ourselves, but also for the whole family. What is more important than earning money to support the family? ?”

A middle-aged man, with seniors and juniors, is a veritable pillar of the family, but when it comes to big decisions, ordinary people are not careful.

Lao Yang is conservative at work, why is he not under the pressure of his family?

Poor and lowly couples mourn everything, this is not just talking.

Taifeng Garden can't pay wages, but it's good to be able to hang on, and there is money in name.

Jump out, once the choice is wrong, how many people at this age can start all over again?

Yang Feng has not taken a penny from his family for more than half a year, and he is under great pressure but never tells anyone.

Facing old friends, it is rare to say: "Yes, if this continues, I don't know how to face my family."

He asked: "Old Zhong, do you know about this Lu's Catering Company?"

"I have learned a little bit about it. It is one of the largest private enterprises in Qingzhao. I heard that the boss has a strong relationship in the city." People in public units like Lao Zhong naturally cannot do without these things, and pointed to the sky specially: "It seems Can go to the top of the city! The boss is very capable, it is said that he is only 22 this year."

He paused, and then said: "There are many Lu's restaurants in the city, just go and have a look."

Yang Feng said, "I'll go and have a look in a while."

Lao Zhong left first, but Yang Feng didn’t go home, so he went out to the bus station and took the bus to Quannan Road Pedestrian Street. When passing by the People’s Mall, he found a shop called Burger King, which opened on the side of the People’s Mall. , facing the south of the People's Shopping Center, the huge signboard of Lu's Hot Pot is very eye-catching.

These are all brands under Lu's Catering.

I didn't pay much attention to it at ordinary times, but after a closer look, I found that the shops are very large and the decoration is exquisite.

Different from the quaint style of Taifeng Garden, the stores are all decorated in a modern style.

When he arrived at Ximen and entered the three adjacent shops, Yang Feng felt even more deeply. Not to mention the quality of the dishes, the service and sanitation alone were completely different from the Taifeng Garden where he worked.

Yang Feng saw the distribution of all the stores in Quannan of Lu's Catering from a color page in the store. After leaving Ximen, he went to a few nearby places to look at them one by one. The service and hygiene of all the stores were top-notch. level, without exception.

Furthermore, the business is very good and the flow of people is hot.

In the evening, Yang Feng came to the overpass of the Grand View Garden, went up and found the place where his wife had set up a stall, and talked about what happened today.

His wife's eyes turned red after hearing this: "Go, why don't you go? This is an iron rice bowl, but it's an empty iron rice bowl. If the rice bowl is empty, can you fill your stomach? Don't leave your job without pay, just resign! This If you can’t survive, go find another job, with your skills, you can’t make money when you come out?”
