1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 310 A Glimmer of Light (2)

Unlike Momo Baizha and Momo Bailu, Momo Baichao has different market positioning and social positioning.

Therefore, under Yang Mo's instruction, Qingfeng Food not only invested the most energy in Momo Baichao, a project with the lowest gross profit margin and the worst sales per square meter, but also gave the most relaxed management autonomy to those store managers who scored B+ or above in certain aspects... Of course, this kind of scoring was carried out in secret, and those store managers were actually unaware of it.

Therefore, some southwestern family members who had always looked down on Qingfeng Food, after a month or two of fighting wits and courage with the group of Qilu girls in the Inspection Department, gradually tested certain boundaries and became more and more unscrupulous.

And Miss Li, the manager of store No. 49, is one of them...

………………

Yang Guangcai opened the two enamel food drawers and was really shocked.

A food drawer has six layers and ten large enamel flat boxes, which are filled to the brim.

Cabbage, potatoes, tofu, potatoes, sweet potato noodles, bean sprouts, fish tofu, starch sausage, fish balls, chicken wings, luncheon meat, pork belly.

These cheap ingredients that may seem ordinary in later generations are very good nowadays...especially when you only need to spend fifty cents to eat these ingredients that are both large in quantity and rich in fat.

Looking at the vegetables in the box that were cut into pieces and obviously squeezed, and then glancing at the Nine-Palace Copper Hot Pot with unique southwestern characteristics, where each person had their own grid, Yang Guangcai vaguely understood why these old diners were so in awe of the short middle-aged woman who spoke with a southwestern accent.

Although he is not well educated, he is not stupid.

Not to mention that the grid contained at least two taels of pork belly and at least half a box of luncheon meat, even the vegetables that were packed full definitely cost more than fifty cents... Maybe three years ago, fifty cents could buy so many vegetables, but now, it is absolutely impossible.

Thinking of his deskmate's rejection of the man in the down jacket next to him, Yang Guangcai roughly understood why this happened.

slap~
A large bowl of steaming rice was placed in front of Yang Guangcai.

"This is your first time here, so you may not know some of the rules... After you finish your meal, if you don't have enough, you can go get more yourself. If you don't have enough dishes, you can tell us and we'll add more as long as the kitchen has more... But, absolutely no waste! No matter whether it's rice or dishes, you must finish them all, no leftovers allowed!"

"Otherwise... hehe, don't come next time!"

Miss Li put her hands on her hips and looked at Yang Guangcai fiercely with a threatening look in her eyes.

Yang Guangcai looked at the white rice in the earthen bowl that had obviously been squeezed with a rice spoon and smiled bitterly.

He wasn't really stupid. How could he not see that the store manager noticed that he was cold and hungry and didn't know the rules here, so he was embarrassed to get more rice after finishing his meal and deliberately pressed such a big bowl of rice to hand over to him?
This fierce "threat" is like the lame old mother at home!

Thinking back to his childhood, when his mother used her work points to cook noodles for him, he suddenly lost consciousness while munching on a steamed bun stuffed with wild vegetables and fiercely pushing the yellow noodles into his bowl.

or……

Don't do it tonight, this boss actually seems to be a pretty good guy?

Just when Yang Guangcai was torn between his conscience and his desires, a gust of cold wind blew, and five little kids with snotty noses and wearing strange clothes followed the young man and walked in obediently.

These children were both boys and girls, the oldest was no more than eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest was about seven or eight years old. Although they were not dirty, they were not clean either.

And what was a little strange was that the clothes worn by these children were surprisingly uniform, and also surprisingly a little strange.

It's just like……

They are all altered from adult clothes of the same style.

Glancing at the orange and white clothes of the children and then at Miss Li's work clothes, Yang Guangcai vaguely understood something.

"You idiots, it's only been a few days and your clothes are already so dirty... Tell the truth, where are you going!"

"If you wear this on New Year's Eve, the Kitchen God will be so angry when he sees you!"

Unexpectedly, when these children appeared, before Miss Li could say anything, a southwestern woman with an equally plump figure rushed out of the transparent kitchen and started to throw the rice spoon in her hand towards the children's buttocks.

Amidst the laughter, the children had sad faces and didn't dare to hide, so they just ate the fried meat with an iron spoon.

Pulling the children's clothes with a look of heartache, the fat woman looked at the dirty cat-like faces with gritted teeth, ran to the back kitchen, and then picked up a dish towel that didn't look that clean and wiped the children's faces.

While pulling the ears and wiping the man's face, the fat woman cursed: "Unlucky kid, don't you know that you should spend the New Year cleanly, so that you won't have so much bad luck the next year... You are already 70, 80 or 90 years old, and you are still ignorant. Do you want to suffer for the rest of your life!?"

The oldest child had a bitter face and did not move, allowing the dish towel with a slightly strange smell to rub his face vigorously. When his fierce little face revealed its rough and chapped true appearance, Miss Li slapped away the fat woman who was holding the child and sighing, and pointed at the ground fiercely: "Xiaojun, after wiping your face, get into the kitchen and get a mop, and mop the floor for me!"

Xiaojun looked at her in confusion, then shrank his neck and whispered, "Aunt, can we wait until the store closes before cleaning the place?"

Miss Li glared at him and said, "No, sweep it now. The floor is so slippery, what if a guest falls?"

Xiaojun looked at her awkwardly: "How about I ask Niu Wa and the others to come and clean up?"

Miss Li snorted coldly: "Hey, I can't call you now, right? There are a lot of dirty dishes in the kitchen. Wait for Niu Wa and the others to come and let them wash the dishes!"

Seeing this middle-aged woman staring at him with her head tilted, Xiaojun almost cried: "Aunt, well, well... we have found a job, Boss She used his connections to get us to help unload coal over there... You don't have to think about taking care of us all the time."

Miss Li was furious when she heard this, and slapped the kid on the butt: "What can you achieve by helping to shovel coal? Can you shovel coal for the rest of your life? I mean, why haven't I seen you report to Teacher Zhao these few days... After all this time, you've been shoveling coal!"

As she thought about it, Miss Li became angrier and angrier. She hit all five little brats hard on their butts, "Do you know that Teacher Zhao and his friends only have one month's vacation? Do you know that Teacher Zhao is a college student? I had to beg him shamelessly before he agreed to help you learn to read and write, but now you're all shoveling coal!"

After giving him a slap on the buttocks, Miss Li seemed to be still angry. She picked up a pair of chopsticks from the neighboring table and used them as a small stick to continue hitting him: "Do you know that only by studying can you have a bright future? Do you know how rare it is to have a good teacher willing to teach you? Do you know how dangerous it is to shovel coal... You little brats, go shovel coal!?"

"Do you know how heavy those coals are? What if someone gets killed or disabled by them?"

It seemed that the more she spoke, the more worried and frightened she became. In the end, there was even a hint of tears in Miss Li's voice.

Yang Guangcai, who was watching from the side, was completely confused and quickly asked the people next to him what was going on.

The diner next to him whispered, "These kids are orphans. They live in this area and are often bullied. Two of them were kidnapped. Miss Li feels sorry for them, so in addition to leaving some [leftovers] for them every day, she also often calls them over to do odd jobs."

At this point, the diner remembered that this was Yang Guangcai's first time at Momo Baichao and he didn't understand some things, so he explained: "According to company regulations, if the store manager is too busy, he has the right to hire temporary workers to help out, and whether these temporary workers are paid by the hour or by the day is all up to the store manager;"

"That is to say, even if these children only helped to mop the floor for five minutes, Miss Li can pay them a day's wages... Although the standard cannot exceed 5 yuan per day, yuan per person per day is enough for these children to live comfortably for two or three days."

Yang Guangcai was a little dazed when he heard this.

It turns out that there are still good people in this world. Not all bosses are black-hearted capitalists? However...

Since these children have agreed to mop the floor, why do they insist on closing the store before mopping the floor?
Before Yang Guangcai could ask the diners next to him, a little girl around ten years old next to Xiaojun spoke up: "Aunt, please don't hit Brother Xiaojun. We all agree on this... I know you feel sorry for us, but, but... but we can't hurt you anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Miss Li flew into a rage: "Bullshit! What do you mean by harming me? I'm the store manager, so what if I hire a few temporary workers? Do I need you to help me mop the floor after closing the store?"

Before he finished speaking, a gust of cold wind blew in, and a young girl about 52 or 20 years old came in, brushing the snow off her clothes. "Manager Li, there's nothing wrong with you hiring temporary workers to help, but hiring 10 temporary workers in one month is a big problem... The company only gives you people per month, and even if there is a % fluctuation during major holidays, you keep doubling the quota. Isn't that a bit too much?"

Seeing this girl, Miss Li sneered and said in a strange Qilu dialect: "Hey, it seems that the people in the inspection department are very enthusiastic about their work. They didn't forget to come to inspect on New Year's Eve... I exceeded the temporary worker quota, so what? I have already been fined and written the inspection report... It's not even the end of January yet, so why are you here to settle the account with me in advance?"

Feeling the hostility coming from Miss Li, the girl sneered: "Although the temporary worker employment quota for January has not been exceeded, with your behavior, Manager Li, it is inevitable that it will exceed the quota;"

"Moreover... Manager Li, aren't the reports of work clothes being damaged too often? Fourteen winter clothes were damaged in just two months... How come I didn't know that our company's work clothes were so fragile?"

At this point, the girl glanced at the children huddled together nearby, took a quick look at the altered clothes, and curled her lips in disdain… Their craftsmanship is really poor, far worse than mine!
But for some unknown reason, the girl just glanced at the group of children, and then turned her eyes back: "Besides that, it's a foregone conclusion that you have wasted too much food this week... Tsk tsk, the amount of food wasted in the past two weeks has exceeded the standard by 23%. Manager Li, not only have you not restrained yourself, but you have increased it by 2.5 percentage points compared to last month... Tsk tsk, if you don't know, you would think that Qingfeng Food is going to promote blind box hot pot as its main dish!"

Momo Baichao originally launched the blind box fast food because some store managers proposed a plan in the name of "not wasting food", and the senior management of Qingfeng Food actually agreed to it; but seeing that more and more food ingredients needed to be "processed at low prices" every day, the company later began to set "waste indicators"... Whether it was the initial approval of this plan or the subsequent setting of indicators, there was an inexplicable weirdness in between. Therefore, in the eyes of some outsiders, township enterprises are township enterprises, and the decision-making is arbitrary and lacks foresight, which can be seen.

Looking at the two women, one old and one young, standing at the door, who looked like they were facing each other like fighting cocks, the man in a down jacket next to Yang Guangcai suddenly smiled with some emotion.

Qingfeng Food is indeed worthy of its reputation. This trick is pretending to be crazy but not really crazy, it is played very clearly.

I'm afraid that this so-called inspection department is actually a catfish department that is put forward to compete with store managers, to stir up hatred and promote a virtuous cycle within the organization?
Thinking of this, the man whispered to the diner who had just helped explain, "Second brother, does this mean that Miss Li has only been punished and has never received a reward?"

The diner curled his lips upon hearing this. "How can that be possible! I heard that the Inspection Department is a department that is close to their deputy general manager. Not only do they not get along with the store managers, but they are also very biased and only welcome the supply partners with a smile. However, their quality control manager is from the drilling company and is more biased towards these store managers who were originally family members of employees... So every time these store managers are punished, their quality control manager will jump out soon after and reward these store managers in various names;"

"What kind of brand building award, what kind of local relationship promotion award, what kind of social responsibility award... I can't explain it clearly at the moment, anyway, there are all kinds of names, and the rewards are not low;"

"So Miss Li has won prizes almost every month in the past few months. After receiving those real prizes, she can not only deduct the money she was fined, but sometimes there is still some left... So you see, Miss Li is not at all intimidated by this girl from the inspection department. Instead, she is fighting with her with all her might!"

Sure enough.

The man in the down jacket showed an understanding look on his face. He smiled at the diner who thought he had seen through the factional struggles, and then continued to observe silently.

Pa~!

Miss Li took out a stack of bills from her pocket and slapped them on the girl's chest: "Excuse me, in addition to the big red envelope for my year-end bonus this year, I also received a 500 yuan brand building award... Tell me, how much are you going to issue this time? You're welcome, just take it from there!"

Seeing Miss Li's rich and powerful attitude of "you can fine me as much as you want", the girl from the inspection department looked unhappy.

After staring at Miss Li for a long time, the girl with a cold face took out a purple hundred-yuan bill from the pile of banknotes, and then took out two ten-yuan bills from her pocket to replace the bill. Then, she gritted her teeth and handed over a penalty notice with the official seal on it. She took out a receipt book angrily, bit off the pen cap, and started writing with the pen on her wrist.

Seeing this girl looking so depressed that she was about to vomit blood, Miss Li felt as if she had eaten a hundred ginseng fruits and her whole body felt refreshed.

She had long disliked these guys.

To be precise, she didn't care about any of the departments in the entire Qingfeng Food Company except the quality control department.

Since becoming the store manager of Mo Mo Bai Chao, she lost herself in the increasing sense of satisfaction of personal value after receiving her first reward after an initial act of kindness.

A mere fine of over a hundred yuan is nothing. She wouldn't feel bad even if she had to pay a little more, or even if she had to lose all her bonus of five hundred yuan!
She just likes this feeling of being unhappy with me but being helpless about it!

What is there to say?

Fighting against the sky is endless fun; fighting against people is even more fun!
………………

After receiving the fine receipt, Miss Li casually put it into her trouser pocket as if it were a piece of waste paper, and then sneered at the girl in front of her: "Okay, the fine for exceeding the food waste quota this week has been paid... As for the excessive quota for temporary workers, we will have to wait until the beginning of next month to issue the fine;"

At this point, Miss Li raised her chin provocatively: "So... please come on, on New Year's Eve, you wouldn't still want to eat here, right? Even if you want to eat... sorry, there's no room now!"

The young girl looked at her with a sullen face and snorted, "You think our inspection department is really idle and has nothing to do, right?... We came here today to inspect for potential safety hazards and issue fines to you store managers; secondly..."

At this point, the young girl's chest rose and fell violently, and then she reluctantly took out a notice from her bag and handed it over: "The joint initiative of your 42 store managers half a month ago was approved... It was specially approved by Deputy Section Chief Qin of Mo Mo Bai Tou!"

After that, without waiting for Miss Li to respond, he took out another notice and handed it over: "In addition, the drilling company is working overtime to build the office area of ​​the new asset management company in DZ City... The area is large, the manpower is very short, and the time is very tight. It just so happens that it started snowing again today. Seeing that the construction difficulty has increased, it may delay the construction period, so the company issued an urgent notice and asked us to come here to ask you, the store managers in the Texas area, if there is any way to help gather enough manpower in the shortest time possible."

After a slight pause, the young girl's tone became serious: "Whether the office area can be built on time is directly related to the work progress of Section Chief Yang Moyang after the spring. The company attaches great importance to this matter, so even if the time is a bit inappropriate, the company still hopes that Manager Li will do his best to help gather manpower!"

Section Chief Yang?
Hearing this name, Miss Li immediately became serious.

The person who these employees' families should thank the most for their current prospects is the young section chief who is said to be only 24 years old. If it weren't for him coming up with a hundred fryings, a hundred stir-fries, and a hundred stews in one go, these families from single-employee families would still be huddled in their rooms all day worrying about next month's living expenses and their children's tuition.

"Okay! I will do my best in this matter."

Miss Li glanced at the diners in the room and, rarely, did she argue with her mortal enemy.

Just as she took the notice from the company and was about to see what it said...

Woo~woo~woo~
A shrill whistle sounded from far away and finally stopped at the door of the store.

da~
With a soft click of a button, the whistle was turned off.

Then, in the dazzling red and blue lights, a slightly strange voice came in: "Li Shufen, Li Shufen... Is Li Shufen here?"

Hearing someone calling her name, Miss Li first responded loudly, and then looked at the two people in white uniforms who pushed the curtain and entered with some surprise.

Um? ?

I saw the dejected, not very tall figure standing among the people in white uniforms.

Wow~
Miss Li picked up the iron spoon she had just put down and rushed over...
