Chapter 136 Promotion and Enlistment
"How could a mere level three chef be my deputy director? Go report him right now!"
"Heh heh, this little bastard's finally got what he deserves."
Jia Zhangshi became more and more pleased with herself as she spoke.
It was as if I could already see that damned Cao Wei go from deputy director to an ordinary chef.
From now on, she will only be able to take care of her own son.
Just thinking about those days made her feel incredibly good.
Even Qin Huairu looked indignant.
As they were talking, Jia Zhangshi came to Old Jia's photo and couldn't help but mutter something.
"Old man, God has truly opened his eyes! That little bastard will probably become an ordinary chef soon, that's wonderful!"
Jia Dongxu felt embarrassed watching his mother sing and dance.
After a long while, he finally spoke up weakly to offer a reminder.
"Mom, it's not what you think at all."
"What? This isn't what I thought? Isn't he a level three chef?"
Jia Zhangshi looked confused, while Jia Dongxu gritted his teeth and began to explain the details.
"The chefs are ranked in reverse order, with a total of ten levels. There are only two level three chefs ahead of you, which, if converted to a level, is at least equivalent to a level six worker."
Upon hearing this news, Jia Zhangshi was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help but burst into tears again.
"Waaaaah, God, why are you so blind again? How did this little bastard manage to pass the Level 3 Chef exam?!"
However, before Jia Zhangshi could cry for long, Jia Dongxu reminded her again.
"However, I've also inquired, and the highest salary our factory can offer is a level six chef."
These words immediately put Jia Zhangshi's mind at ease.
"Thank goodness, I knew it! Why does that little bastard deserve to live such a good life?"
Qin Huairu, standing to the side, was speechless upon hearing this.
Even she knew that if someone was very capable, even if the village couldn't officially offer such high treatment, they would compensate the person elsewhere.
However, Jia Zhangshi still seemed to be indulging in unrealistic daydreams.
Or perhaps, for her, Cao Wei's life is already good enough for now.
She didn't even dare to imagine living any better.
She couldn't even accept it, after all, she and the Cao family were right across the street from each other.
As for the Yi family, Yi Zhonghai's expression was equally unpleasant.
He was furious when he got back, but then he remembered that the factory hadn't been giving Cao Wei any good treatment yet.
In addition, he was able to keep his Level 4 worker status, which comforted him.
"That old lady must have made a move; that little brat can't stay smug any longer."
It seems that Yi Zhonghai can only console himself in this way right now.
The following day, another factory meeting was held.
Li Huaide did the same, and just brought it up directly.
"Ahem, everyone, first of all, Cao Wei from the canteen has now passed the Level 3 chef certificate exam, which is a great honor for our steel rolling mill. I think we should also compensate him in another way, since our steel rolling mill can only nominally provide Level 6 chefs with the same treatment."
As Li Huaide expected, as soon as he finished speaking, Director Yang immediately retorted.
"Isn't this inappropriate? You know, doing this kind of backdoor thing once is fine, but if it's done repeatedly, where do the factory rules and regulations stand?"
Hearing this, Li Huaide was not annoyed. He looked at Director Chen, who then took a deep breath and slowly said.
"Ultimately, it depends on the situation. As far as I know, even the top chef at Fengzelou has never passed the Level 3 chef certificate on the first try, while our Deputy Director Cao passed it on his first attempt. Under such circumstances, he should indeed be given some extra compensation. I heard that on the very day he passed the exam, people from other factories had already contacted our Deputy Director Cao."
"Of course, if Director Yang can poach some better chefs, I wouldn't mind."
Factory Director Chen was not stupid after all. Or rather, from an absolutely neutral perspective, he was well aware of how much of an advantage the steel rolling mill would have at the negotiating table if it had a third-level chef in the future or in the present era.
Upon hearing this, Director Yang seemed to be constipated.
He couldn't refute those words.
Whether it was because Cao Wei initially disrespected him or because of the old deaf man's instructions, he wasn't happy about it. It seemed Cao Wei was trying to get some benefit from him.
Naturally, the factory rules were emphasized again.
"But even so, everyone is here to help build our factory. If people use back channels or special methods, it will ultimately have a negative impact on the factory."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two sides split into two camps. One camp supported Director Yang, since the factory rules had already been broken once before because of Cao Wei.
Now is the time to gradually standardize and expand production scale, and it is naturally not good to take special measures at this time. However, some people believe that if a third-level chef like this is not dismissed by the factory, or if he is not given relevant compensation or benefits, and is poached by another factory, it is also a loss for the factory.
Seeing this, Li Huaide finally spoke slowly.
"I think Deputy Factory Director Chen's suggestion is very pertinent. Of course, Factory Director Yang's concerns are not without merit. We can reward Xiao Cao within the scope of the rules."
"For example, we could first remove the title of 'working in place of a cadre,' and then raise the administrative rank. This way, we could also compensate the salary a little, ensuring that we can retain this talent. What do you all think?"
Upon hearing this, many people nodded in agreement.
Even though Director Yang tried to control his expression, he couldn't suppress his displeasure. After all, whether it was his initial plan regarding Cao Wei or his promise to the old deaf man, he had originally intended to teach Cao Wei a lesson.
As a result, not only did the surgery not go through, but he also had to watch the other person rise in rank right under his nose.
Although he was unwilling, most people had already agreed. He could only try to obstruct the promotion in terms of administrative rank.
Soon after the final decision was made, the broadcasting department quickly announced Cao Wei's promotion.
"—Cao Wei from our factory has now passed the exam to become a Level 3 chef. I hope all comrades will take pride in this and strive to make progress as soon as possible. As decided by the factory, Cao Wei will be promoted to the position of deputy director of the canteen, and his administrative rank will be raised to Level 16."
Upon hearing this news, Cao Wei was stunned for a moment.
It's important to know that the current administrative ranking system is relatively new. What does a sixteen-level administrative ranking system mean?
The current cafeteria director, Director Li, is only at this level, while I have been promoted to this position.
This was both an affirmation of his culinary skills and a clear indication that Li Huaide had played a crucial role behind the scenes.
Cao Wei couldn't help but sigh, "Following Lao Li, life is indeed incredibly comfortable."
However, the beasts in the entire steel rolling mill couldn't help but complain again after hearing the news.
Liu Haizhong even cursed the factory leaders for their incompetence countless times, saying that instead of mentioning a promising leader like himself, they actually brought up Cao Wei, that little beast.
However, despite his verbal abuse, when it came time to leave work, Cao Wei found that these beastly neighbors had no choice but to smile at him and respectfully address him as Director Cao.
After all, Cao Wei before this was essentially a worker in place of a manager.
The key point is that he was only a deputy director, and with the introduction of the supply system, everyone expected that, like Cao Wei before, someone who didn't quite follow the norm would be demoted. But now, not only has he not been demoted, he has officially become a deputy director, and his administrative rank has been raised again.
Even a fool would know that Cao Wei's current situation is not one where they can easily stage an accident for him.
The next day, just before Cao Wei was about to leave work, he met with Li Huaide's secretary.
After being taken to Li Huaide's office, Cao Wei expressed his gratitude for yesterday's events once again, and only then did Li Huaide take the initiative to speak.
"Xiao Cao, you'd better make time for me tomorrow, remember what I told you last time."
