Courtyard House: He Daqing Forces Qin Huairu into Marrying at the Beginning

"Tonight's setup will be a candlelight dinner."

Westerners like to eat like this.

This is steak and pasta.

He holds a knife in his right hand and a fork in his left.

First, hold the steak in place with a fork, then cut it open with a knife, and finally use the fork to pick it up and put it in your mouth.

He Daqing personally demonstrated it to his wife.

The juicy steak was tender and perfectly seasoned, and He Daqing was very satisfied with his work.

"Is that so?"

Qin Huairu clumsily picked up the knife and fork, made a few slashes, but just couldn't cut the steak.

"Western things are so hard to use."

Seeing his wife's disheveled appearance, He Daqing couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Let me help you."

"Come on, open your mouth, ah..."

He Daqing cut off a piece of steak and fed it to his wife as if he were teasing a child.

"Really..."

Qin Huairu blushed slightly, scolded him angrily, and then slowly opened her mouth to eat the beef.

"Hmm, it tastes pretty good."

"Of course, it doesn't matter whose skill it is."

He Da-qing rested his chin on his hand and looked quietly at his wife.

The east courtyard was quiet, and no one came to disturb the couple's happy time.

The two of them finished this rare dinner together.

After packing my things, I fell asleep peacefully without turning on the light again.

Chapter 127 Classification Salary

They had to maintain the normal operation of the second canteen while also preparing Western food at the small canteen.

With two jobs on his hands, He Daqing's workload increased dramatically, and he was extremely busy every day.

I no longer have the free time to hide in the office drinking tea and reading books like I used to.

Fortunately, his three apprentices were skilled enough to manage their own kitchens, thus relieving the Qing Dynasty of its burdens.

Otherwise, he would be under even more pressure.

When Director Yang visited the small canteen and saw the Russian expert looking relieved, he gave full affirmation to He Daqing's work.

He praised He Daqing as a good comrade who dared to shoulder great responsibilities.

To show that he valued it, he visited the canteen much more often afterward.

In addition to inspecting the work, Director Yang also wanted to get a closer look at the situation of the experts from Russia.

While you're at it, try the Western food made by He Daqing and have a taste of something different.

With the help of experts from Russia, the steel rolling mill underwent a major transformation in its technology and processes, and its output increased month after month.

The release of the latest production data greatly inspired the factory workers, who joined the nation's construction efforts with even greater enthusiasm.

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. The benefits brought by the experts from Russia are undeniable, but they also bring some problems.

Putting everything else aside, the factory is making small-scale cooking services more and more frequently, and the standards are also rising accordingly.

There are some things that are not under He Daqing's jurisdiction, and he has no control over them either.

All he can do is to cook each dish with care and serve each customer well.

Let others worry about the rest.

……

After two busy months, He Yuzhu, having completed his studies, finally returned to help his father with his work.

This lightened the burden on He Daqing's shoulders considerably.

Meanwhile, a massive reform was launched within the steel rolling mill, immediately causing a huge uproar.

He Daqing had just returned home after a busy day and was taking a breather when his neighbors all came to his door.

"Uncle, what exactly is the meaning of the fixed salary level?"

Yi Zhonghai stepped forward and voiced everyone's questions.

Today, the factory issued a notice that it will conduct a grading assessment for all workers, and starting next month, wages will be paid according to their grading.

Wages are a matter of vital interest to workers, and they are very concerned about them.

He Daqing was a senior cadre in the factory and also the head of the compound.

With such a major event occurring, everyone naturally wanted to come and find out what happened.

He Daqing picked up his teacup, took a sip of water, and led the excited crowd into the central courtyard. He waited until everyone quieted down before slowly speaking.

"Don't be nervous, everyone."

State-owned enterprises in Northeast China started implementing a graded salary system several years ago.

The workers in the factory have different skills.

The types of parts that can be produced are different, and the quantities produced are also different.

Workers with better skills and higher production output earn more wages, while those with substandard skills earn less.

This is the only way to distribute resources fairly.

The purpose of performance grading is to understand everyone's skill level and then assign them appropriate wages.

This is to prevent unqualified individuals from taking advantage of everyone.

With He Daqing's reassuring explanation, everyone's anxiety gradually subsided.

"Sir, what's the deal with administrative ranks and technical ranks?"

Liu Haizhong shouted loudly.

Liu Haizhong has limited education, but he is very sensitive to words related to administration and "official".

Despite repeated failures, his ambition for officialdom remained undiminished.

"The factory has not only workers, but also cadres and clerks at all levels."

Workers are paid according to their technical skill level, while leaders and clerks are paid according to their administrative rank.

In such a large steel rolling mill, not everyone contributes through technical labor.

There also needs to be someone to direct, manage, and coordinate between different levels, with each person fulfilling their respective duties.

"So, are you paying salaries based on technical skill level or administrative level?"

Liu Haizhong asked tentatively.

Although He Daqing was the canteen director, Liu Haizhong was still reluctant to acknowledge his cadre status.

He Daqing used to be a cook who wielded a large ladle, doing all kinds of physical labor. He should be like them.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at He Daqing with curiosity, wanting to find out what was going on.

"I am at the administrative level 16."

He Daqing ruthlessly shattered Liu Haizhong's illusions.

As the director of the No. 2 canteen of the steel rolling mill, He Daqing was often busy on the front line, but he was a full-fledged section-level cadre.

He was also a section chief, earning a monthly salary of 110.5 million yuan.

In addition, we should also add the 62 part-time third-level service personnel in small canteens.

The monthly salary reached an astonishing 1.7 million, equivalent to the salary of a level 12 administrative officer.

Upon hearing He Daqing's words, Liu Haizhong's face immediately fell, turning deathly pale.

Unexpectedly, a few years later, He Daqing, a cook who used to wield a large ladle, has climbed to such heights.

Despite making numerous efforts, Liu Haizhong ultimately achieved nothing.

What a trick.

"Administrative level 16, monthly income of one million, this old man is really amazing."

Many people showed expressions of longing and envy.

Most workers in the factory earn only around 300,000 yuan a month.

Even if this ranking improves it somewhat, it is still far from being as good as the Great Qing Dynasty.

"It's getting late, everyone should go home and rest early."

The assessment will begin in a few days, so I must get myself into the right mindset.

Otherwise, the next assessment will be a long time coming.

He Daqing reassured everyone for a few words and then left.

He's been so busy all day and he's exhausted; he needs to go home and rest early.

Upon hearing this, the neighbors in the courtyard dispersed.

The most important thing right now is how to handle the grading assessment.

If you accidentally lose your job grade, you'll lose a lot of wages.
