The story of a cook

Chapter 512 Interviewed by the old man

The story of the fight on Binhai Avenue spread in the old store and Coarse Grain the next day. I don’t know how it spread. The later version is that I took people from the old store out to fight with social people. First, I was beaten by others, and then turned defeat into victory. Then they called a lot of people, and when they were preparing for a duel, a woman came and said she was an old friend of mine, so they shook hands and made peace.

Of course, this is a version that is closer to the truth, and there are a few other versions that are a bit mysterious, and they have everything, so just laugh it off.

But one thing is for sure, the employees of the old store are absolutely famous, especially the female employees.Now Wang Hong, Zhou Jing, Zhuoma, Fang Lin and the others are not only not disturbed in the shop, but also in the dormitory.Those who haven't seen them fight are a bit unbelievable, but those who have seen them fight are definitely conquered by their toughness, and some even have lingering fears.

Because of the fight, I was summoned by the old man for an interview.

"Do you know what I'm looking for you?" the old man asked.

"I know, about the fight." I said.

The old man looked at me and smiled, and said, "I heard about it as soon as I came back. They said that you led your employees to fight with people in the society. I didn't believe it at first, but later I believed it."

I see that the old man is silent.

"Let me tell you, Lao Tan, it is morally right for you to do this. It is understandable that your employees are being bullied outside, especially the people you brought, to help fight. Don't let your own people be bullied. But your identity is different. You are the head chef. You said that you led the staff out to fight, and there were so many people. Nothing happened. What if something happened? What if someone breaks it? Let’s not say who it is. It’s not good to break anyone. If someone breaks it, you have to accompany him for medical expenses. Someone explain?" The old man said very harshly.

I also realized the seriousness of the problem, nodded and said: "That's the thing, it's a mistake."

"It's just not calm." The old man said: "If you encounter something that cannot be solved, you can call me, or you can call the police and let the police solve it. Can the police ignore this matter? Can I ignore it if you call me? What do I say? It is also more powerful than you, and it will be over after staying in Binhai for these years."

"It's lucky that nothing happened to Yizhang that day. This is also a warning to you, don't do anything impulsively, and do it after thinking about it. You have to think twice before doing anything, and you can't think about what is what in your head. Sometimes You think you did the right thing, nothing happened, if something happens you can’t bear the responsibility, you don’t know."

I nodded and said yes.

"I heard that you still know the guy who fought?" the old man asked.

I said: "I know, I have worked together before."

"You guys know each other. What would happen if you didn't know each other? It's possible to kill someone."

I'm a little scared.

"Remember, you can't do anything impulsively. Didn't you say that impulsiveness is the devil." The old man's tone softened a little.

"Understood, the leader is right to teach you a lesson." I said.

"Yes, what you say is of no use to dissatisfaction in your heart." The old man said: "According to my temper, I can't use it like you, and it may cause trouble someday. Haven't you found out that there is something wrong with you?"

I froze for a moment.

"Dare to make decisions on your own, and do whatever you want. To put it nicely, you are a servant, but to put it badly, you are arrogant, self-righteous, and pretending to be smart."

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at me, and I lowered my head silently, feeling that what he said was a bit too much, and I didn't do that either.

"I've wanted to beat you up for a long time, but I haven't found time. You don't have to be dissatisfied. Let me tell you that the points management you have done is really good. I know what you think, and you are right. Think Try running it in the kitchen first to see how it works. The idea is correct and good, but you can’t do it this way, you know? Since you think it’s a good management method, let’s put it forward, let’s study it together, and if it’s feasible, we’ll implement it. If it doesn’t work, we’ll perfect it. It’s good for you, you can do it yourself first, and it’s right, but have you thought about it? We are an enterprise, and everything we do has to be done in a unified way. Can’t you just fix one and the other, so it won’t be messed up? "

"The correct way to deal with it should be like this. First form it into a text plan and give it to me, or to Mr. Zhang for review, and then hold a meeting of executives to discuss it together, and then make a decision. This is a normal process. You I always talk about the process when I have nothing to do, and I understand it better than anyone else. When I am on my own, I don’t follow the process. I make my own decisions, and I can do whatever I want. Let’s not talk about Mr. Zhang’s ability, after all, he is the hired boss, and nothing else , Even if you want to give face, you have to give it to others. You are good. Not only do you not give others face, but you skip what others want to do. Mr. Zhang's temper is good enough. If I lose my temper early. Let me ask you, hire If you come to a boss, will he work with you, or will you work with him?"

I whispered: "I cooperate with him."

"You know how to cooperate, but you just don't cooperate. If you don't cooperate and others don't cooperate, the whole company is very passive. Now I'm thinking whether to find a capable boss. If you come, you won't cooperate at all, and it's useless to find him. , you will have to run away within a month. This is the status quo of our family. Don’t deny it, Lao Tan, in fact, you are not convinced by anyone. Now Mr. Wang is in the old shop, do you obey him? Let me ask you one thing , Did you discuss it with him when you were managing points? You think this is a matter of the kitchen, you don’t need to tell others, you can do it yourself. You guarantee that you think so, and you don’t even think about Mr. Wang. Why did you send Mr. Wang is here? He is here to be the boss, not to take care of the front desk, you know? If you ask him to take care of the front desk, why do you use Manager Chen? Do I have money to spend?”

"Since he is the boss, he is guaranteed to be superior. If you can do it, why didn't I call you the boss? You look at the problem from the perspective of the kitchen and think that what you are doing is right. From the perspective of the entire store and the entire company What? Is it still right?"

Speaking of which, the old man sat down and took a sip of tea.

I began to reflect on myself, habitually touching my pockets.

"Smoking, I have no objection to smoking." The old man said, still looking serious.

Light a cigarette.

"Old Tan, you are very smart and capable. It is absolutely fine to take care of the kitchen, but you must consider everything before doing things. Don't think about what is what, just do it. It is good to be smart, but you have to be smart enough. It’s right to pretend to be stupid at times, otherwise you’d say you’re wise and stupid. I heard you’re going to have a cooking competition this month?” the old man asked.

I said, "Well, I'm going to do it once."

"I support this. It's a good thing." The old man said, "Tell me who you told me when you were doing this?"

"Master Du, Manager Chen, President Wang." I said.

"Let me give you a rough idea, and engage in a cooking competition. You put forward your suggestion, and before you implement it, you must first greet Li Xingtang and tell what you mean. This is not a matter of losing face, but a process. I won’t talk about what you think, just talk lazily. Tell Li Xingtang what you think, and ask him to make a decision, because he is the director of kitchen affairs. After you tell him, even if he objects, he will tell me Yes, after listening to it, I promised to agree, and then held a management meeting, at which the matter was settled, and the two stores will hold it together, this is the normal process and standard for an enterprise to do one thing."

"Can I disagree with something like this? I have long wanted to engage in cooking competitions, but no one has implemented it, and it has been delayed. What do you think, skip Li Xingtang and me, and do it in your own shop. You did the right thing. What about the coarse grains? What is the purpose of hiring a kitchen director? They don’t even know about this, so how will they start working in the future? Will they use you or not?”

The old man looked at me with very sharp eyes.

I sighed, and said seriously: "I still can't do things, I lack exercise, I am not thoughtful, and I am not rigorous."

"You can't do things like this. You have to think about everything. It's not what you think is right. Everyone thinks it's right. Whether it's as small as a family or as large as a country, it doesn't depend on personal will. One person has the final say. Otherwise, how can there be a representative meeting? It’s like this in all countries. If there is something to do, the people’s representative meeting is held, and the issue is brought to the meeting for discussion. After the discussion, everyone agrees, and finally makes a decision before implementation. Just follow whoever does it, it won’t be a mess.”

"That's it," I said.

"Don't think that others are inferior to you. As long as they are your boss, there must be something that you are not as good as. You must respect and obey them. To put it bluntly, as long as you are the boss, you are worse than you. So you Why don’t you be the boss? Even if the boss’s IQ is not as good as yours, he can hire someone with a high IQ like you to work for him.

I nodded in approval.

"Your point management is very good. I don't have time to do it right now. Isn't the kitchen still doing it now?" the old man asked.

"Execution." I replied.

"Then implement it first. To criticize you is to criticize you, and you should be praised. Lao Tan also has advantages, and there are more advantages than disadvantages." The old man smiled, and then said: "You have a way of management, you have to admit it, and you have to admit it. One thing is to be responsible for the work and to be willing to do it, which the whole company has to admit." Speaking of this, he paused, and then asked: "Why do you still come to inspect the goods every morning?"

I said, "Well, come every day."

"Do you think this will work? I plan to abolish the position of the sous chef. Is it okay to appoint a supervisor for each kitchen?" the old man asked.

I didn't understand what the old man meant, so I asked, "What do you mean?"

"Isn't Xiao Du the sous chef now, cancel this position and appoint a supervisor." The old man said.

"Arrange who?" I asked.

"The old shop arranged for Wang Yaxin. You still manage the kitchen. He will be your assistant, responsible for attendance, discipline, hygiene, and assist you in managing the kitchen." The old man said.

"What about Master Du?" I asked.

"Xiao Du was transferred to Coarse Grain as the chief chef." The old man said, "Give him a deputy, Jiang Yajun's love. Don't you always say that he is good now? Listen to you and give him a chance."

The old man's decision was very sudden, and he never expected him to arrange it like this.After thinking about it, it was because Li Xingtang and Wei Chef didn't do it anymore, so Master Du was transferred to Coarse Grain as the head chef.

I said, "Okay, I support it."

"I'll make arrangements first, and you will be transferred in two days. You should make preparations first," the old man said.

I nodded.

"I agree with the cooking competition. All the chefs of the two stores will participate. You are in charge. Let's see, what do I need to do?" the old man asked.

"Need money." I said.

"How much? Take it from the finance department."

"two thousand."

"Okay, I'll say hello to the accountant tomorrow, and then you can go and get it, and I'll give you three thousand."

"Thank you, old man."

"It's business, there's nothing wrong with spending money." The old man smiled.

Then the old man became serious again, and said: "You are the chef now, and you need to remind yourself all the time. Sometimes you think it's nothing, but the kitchen staff are looking at you, whoever buys you a cigarette, please have a meal. Go, the influence is not good. You also like to drink, drink less in the future, and drink less with employees. It is a good thing to mingle with employees, but it is difficult to manage the relationship between buddies for a long time. Let it go. He made a mistake , Don’t worry about hurting feelings, try to keep a distance. Those who can understand are buddies, and those who can’t understand are not buddies.”

"I heard that all the girls got into this fight?" the old man asked.

I said, "Well, it's all up."

"Old Tan, you have a good management style and can unite people. Now the kitchen of the old store is almost becoming a small team. You can only be listened to when you speak, and others can't speak well." The old man said.

"How can it be." I said.

"I know everything. This time when the new store opens, I have to transfer some people from your kitchen, especially the ones you hired, and separate them for you."

"It's okay, obey the deployment."

"Also, you are the head chef now, you have a high prestige, you should learn from old Chen, and don't be defeated by women." The old man said.

"No." I said.

"There's nothing you can't do. How many capable people are defeated by women. There are only two things for men to get along with women. If they don't, they should be clean and self-sufficient, and if they don't want to be strong; Don’t say anything except envy. It’s time for you to do your career, keep yourself. I don’t object to your dating with women. If there are women who follow you wholeheartedly, it proves that you are a good old Tan. But don’t control yourself, Flirting with women, if you do that, you will be finished and ruin your future."

I nodded seriously.
