Chapter 838 The Welfare of the Trade Department
On the morning of the 27th of the lunar calendar, all employees of the Trading Department cleaned the office space and canteen of the Trading Department inside and out, and then went to the logistics warehouse as a department to receive this year's year-end benefits.
"Brother Wang! This year's year-end benefits of our company, what exactly are the new year's goods?" A young employee followed his colleagues to the door of the logistics warehouse. When he saw two cloth bags in his hands, he was very happy. Colleagues who walked out of the logistics warehouse greeted each other with a smile.
When Brother Wang heard the young man's question, he picked up the cloth bag in his hand and replied with a smile: "It's almost the same as last year, but this year there are three more pounds of apples and two feet of good quality cloth."
The young man heard the situation introduced by Brother Wang and learned about the year-end benefits distributed by his unit this year. He replied happily: "It seems that we can have a good year again this year."
When Brother Wang heard what the young man said, he thought of the Spring Festival benefits provided by the Trade Department in recent years, and replied proudly: "Because of our director, since the establishment of the Trade Department, the holiday benefits have become better and better year by year. .”
When the young man heard what Brother Wang said, he thought of the New Year's goods that his wife had brought back the day before yesterday. He nodded in agreement and replied: "Brother Wang! You are right. My wife works at the General Administration of Materials, and their unit only issued two supplies this year. It’s just a pound of pork, five pounds of white flour, and three pounds of peanuts and melon seeds. Compared with our company’s New Year’s goods, it’s simply not worth mentioning.”
After hearing the situation introduced by the young man, Brother Wang thought of the New Year's goods brought back by his wife, and replied with a smile: "Xiao Guo! The New Year's goods from the General Administration of Materials are pretty good. My guy works at the Ministry of Light Industry, and the New Year's goods are distributed this year. It’s just one pound of pork and five pounds of white flour.”
The middle-aged man in the queue behind Xiao Guo heard the conversation between Lao Wang and Xiao Guo, and thought of the news he heard in the cafeteria at noon. He quickly said to the two of them: "Lao Wang! Xiao Guo! Our unit has more than 100 benefits. These.”
"Don't forget, in addition to the New Year's goods distributed every year, our company also has another benefit, which is the banquet tomorrow night. I heard that the Purchasing Department purchased a large amount of pork, duck, fish, and There is a lot of Erguotou liquor, and with the skill of Director He in our canteen, everyone will be in for a treat tomorrow night.”
When the two heard the middle-aged man's words and thought of Sha Zhu's cooking skills, they instinctively swallowed their saliva. Lao Wang even said with a look of longing: "Old Chen! Our Director He's craftsmanship is really nothing to say. Just say that the big pot of food in our cafeteria has already made several kids in our family jealous. When they come home from school every day, they look forward to the meals I bring back from the cafeteria.”
When everyone was chatting enthusiastically, a middle-aged man walked out of the logistics warehouse with a bag in his hand. Hearing the microphone of the discussion, the other person smiled and said to the three of them: "Lao Chen! Lao Wang! Xiao Zhao. ! In fact, the real welfare of our unit is not the New Year’s goods distributed, nor the dinner party tomorrow night, but the standard of food provided in our cafeteria every day.”
"Think about it, our unit canteen, from its establishment to the end of last year, served meat dishes every day. Although each person can only take an extra portion of meat dishes home, it is enough to ensure that there is no shortage of oil and water at home."
"As for other unit canteens, let alone serving meat dishes every other day, even if they serve meat dishes once every half month, it is a very big thing. Therefore, compared with the New Year's goods distributed to us by the unit, the meals provided by the unit canteen are what we A real benefit.”
After hearing what the middle-aged man said, Lao Chen thought of the food in the workplace canteen, nodded in agreement, and replied: "Deputy Director Zhang is right. Before I was transferred to the Trade Department, our family could eat one meal a month." Returning meat is already a very luxurious thing. Since I was transferred to the Trading Department, our family no longer has to worry about insufficient oil and water. The children in the family have grown a lot taller. "< br>
Xiao Guo heard what Lao Chen said about the meals provided in the unit canteen, and replied with approval: "Deputy Director Zhang is right. When my wife gave birth, it was the time when supplies were most scarce. Fortunately, every day in the unit canteen All meat dishes are provided, and my wife did not suffer from malnutrition symptoms during her confinement period.”
When Xiao Guo said this, he suddenly remembered that someone reported that the food standard in the Trade Department canteen was too high, and he complained angrily: "I don't know which son of a bitch it is, because he is jealous of the food in our Trade Department. Reported to the Government Affairs Council that the food standard in our unit’s canteen exceeded the standard, so our director had to reduce the frequency of serving meat dishes.”
When Deputy Director Zhang heard Xiao Guo mention that the company's food was reported to be over-standard, he responded: "Our director reminded everyone at the beginning not to show off to the public that the company's food is good, but some people just don't care about it. I couldn’t keep my mouth shut, which made some jealous people report to their superiors that our food exceeded the standard.”
Xiao Guo heard what Deputy Director Zhang said and thought about Wu Aiguo being reported. He replied angrily: "We have good food. We use our own office funds and the remaining reception expenses, and we don't have any." I don’t know what those people think about taking advantage of the public. They are jealous that we can eat meat every day and go to report to our superiors that our food exceeds the standard.”
Lao Chen works in the Finance Department, and he knows the financial situation of the company better than anyone else. When Lao Chen heard Xiao Guo's complaint, he quickly corrected him: "Xiao Guo! You must not talk nonsense! We The food standards in the cafeteria are the same as those in other units’ cafeterias. “The reason why we can eat meat and vegetables every day is because the director subsidizes everyone with reception expenses, and the director and others almost pay for dinners out of their own pockets, so the superiors pay for it. When we sent someone to our unit’s canteen to check the accounts, no problems were found. After all, the leader’s reception expenses are also part of the canteen’s expenses.”
Deputy Director Zhang heard the situation introduced by Lao Chen, nodded in agreement, and replied: "Old Chen is right! Our canteen supplies meat dishes every day, and it is the director who uses the reception expenses of the department to subsidize everyone. The director receives guests at his own expense.”
"Old Zhang! Why do you pay for it out of your own pocket? You are talking about me behind my back, aren't you afraid that I will put on your shoes?" As soon as Deputy Director Zhang finished speaking, Wu Aiguo's laughing voice suddenly came from behind.
When Xiao Guo heard Wu Aiguo's inquiry, he immediately took the lead and introduced to Wu Aiguo without waiting for Deputy Director Zhang to answer: "Director! The situation is like this. Just now we mentioned that the welfare of the department is good, and everyone gets it every year because of it. The New Year’s goods distributed by Si Li can help you have a good New Year with your family.”
"While we were discussing this topic, Deputy Director Zhang came out after receiving the New Year's goods. When he heard what we were talking about, he told us that the best benefit of our company is not the New Year's goods distributed every year, but the canteen The daily food supply is also said to be used by the department’s reception expenses to subsidize the comrades in the department.”
After hearing the situation introduced by Xiao Guo, Wu Aiguo understood the ins and outs of it and replied humbly: "Comrades! If the reception expenses of the department are not spent, it will be like this when the financial inspection is carried out. We will turn over the amount so that the higher-ups will think that we don’t need so much reception expenses and will reduce our reception expenses in the coming year.”
"Instead of turning over these reception expenses that should belong to everyone, it is better to take them from the people and use them for the people! So I took the decision to take out the excess reception expenses and subsidize them to the expenses of the canteen to improve the comrades' life." Our food.”
When Deputy Director Zhang heard the explanation given by Wu Aiguo, in order to compliment Wu Aiguo's selflessness, he immediately said to Wu Aiguo: "Director! You can't say that. Like us, other units allocate reception expenses based on head count. , but the reception expenses of other units are simply not enough, and will even occupy the canteen’s purchase funds, and you hardly receive guests, and even if you do, it will be out of your own pocket.”
When Wu Aiguo heard what Deputy Director Zhang said, how could he not understand the purpose of Deputy Director Zhang's words? He replied humbly: "Old Zhang! Our unit is different from other units in nature. We currently only have one customer. That is the overseas Wang family. Unlike other units, the business is related to many departments, so the number of receptions will naturally be very large. It is normal that the reception expenses are not enough. "
When Lao Wang heard Wu Aiguo's words, he thought of the report about the canteen of the Trade Department, and immediately expressed his suspicion.
"Director! Leaders of other units also have private banquets, but I guess there are almost no leaders who actually pay for it out of their own pockets. As for why there are so many receptions in those units, we all know the reason very well."
"And I estimate that the person who originally reported the excessive food in our canteen should be someone from a nearby unit. He spends all day receiving guests, but he actually did it for the sake of the leader of the tooth festival."
Xiao Guo heard Lao Wang's analysis and immediately nodded in agreement: "Director! Brother Wang is right. There are several units like ours on this street that do not need to receive guests, but the canteens of these units The number of receptions is also no less than that of other units.”
"I guess it's the comrades in these units who are dissatisfied with their unit leaders when they know that you used reception fees to subsidize canteen meals, and one of these leaders reported you because of this matter. .”
Wu Aiguo didn't know who reported him, but Xiao Guo's guess was the same as Wu Aiguo's.
Although Wu Aiguo also thought so, as the head of the Trade Department, Wu Aiguo knew that there were some things that could be said and some things that could not be said. He immediately changed the subject and said to everyone with a smile: "Okay! Everyone, stop talking. This topic has been discussed. Everyone has collected the New Year gifts and sent them home quickly. Don’t forget to come to the work on time for the meeting tomorrow morning. ”
