Chapter 102 Big Company, That’s It

As the company's reception manager, he naturally had to showcase the company's best to these people.

Moreover, he wasn't lying; their company's cafeteria definitely had the best food among all the surrounding factory cafeterias, and the prices were very affordable—a meal cost less than ten yuan and could fill you up, with breakfast being even cheaper.

Upon hearing Zhao Yang's explanation, Wu Yu's face also showed a look of interest.

He had just surveyed the entire factory environment, and it was indeed as Zhao Yang said: this machine tool factory occupied a very large area.

And before coming, he had also briefly checked the basic information of this machine tool factory.

This company was already listed.

Such a large company should have a very good employee restaurant, right?

The other Clothing Factory employees behind him also showed curious expressions; after all, in all these years, it was their first time seeing such a large factory.

The entire industrial park actually belonged to this one company; it was truly enormous!

Zhao Yang secretly observed the curious expressions of the people behind him and smiled slightly.

He somewhat understood the expressions of these people.

He had already received many employees from small factories who came for training, and he somewhat understood that the working environment and benefits of those employees were simply incomparable to their machine tool factory.

When they reached the cafeteria later, these people would surely be even more surprised.

After walking for about five or six minutes, the employee restaurant appeared before them.

Wu Yu glanced at it and secretly nodded.

As expected of a large factory, this employee cafeteria was actually so big.

Zhao Yang stood in front, pointing to the employee restaurant and saying,

“This is the employee restaurant; it has two floors, upper and lower, and can accommodate thousands of people eating at the same time.”

“And today you are in luck; I heard today’s meal includes braised pork.”

Saying that, he had already led Wu Yu and the others into the restaurant.

Upon entering the restaurant,

Wu Yu surveyed the spacious employee restaurant and gradually frowned.

The moment he entered the restaurant, he felt a stuffy, hot sensation.

He looked up and saw that every so often on the ceiling, there was a fan hanging, but it wasn't powered on.

As for air conditioning, he didn't see any at all.

“It’s so hot; isn’t this cafeteria air-conditioned?”

A Clothing Factory employee mumbled softly, and although the other employees didn't say anything, their expressions clearly showed they had the same question.

This machine tool factory was so large, yet the employee cafeteria wasn't air-conditioned.

Zhao Yang heard the employee's mumbling, and his smiling expression stiffened.

Such a large employee cafeteria, if air conditioning were installed, it would be a huge expense, and the electricity bill afterward would also be a considerable sum.

However, he couldn't really say that installing air conditioning was too expensive, as that would make their company seem stingy.

After thinking for a moment, he didn't know how to respond to the employee's words, so he simply turned his head and continued walking forward, pretending not to have heard.

Soon,

They arrived at a serving window.

“Your training includes Room and board, so you don’t need to pay for your meals, but later I will give you a meal card; as long as you have the meal card, you can eat for free in the cafeteria.”

“However, one thing to note is: do not waste food.”

Zhao Yang explained at the serving window.

“Do your company’s employees still need to pay for meals in the cafeteria?”

Wu Yu heard Zhao Yang's words and asked.

“Yes, but the price for employees to get food is very cheap; a meat dish only costs a few yuan, and a meal can fill you up for about ten yuan.”

“For example, breakfast has a two-yuan set meal, which includes a bowl of porridge, an egg, two steamed buns, and a small side dish.”

“The food in the cafeteria is all very cost-effective.”

Hearing Zhao Yang's explanation,

The Clothing Factory employees thought of their own employee restaurant, which didn't charge any money, and the food was unlimited.

As for the two-yuan breakfast, the Clothing Factory didn't have that.

However, the Clothing Factory's breakfast was very rich, with steamed buns, savory pancakes, fried dough sticks, soy milk… different varieties every day.

But there was one consistent point.

That was, not to waste food.

Zhao Yang didn't notice the expressions of the Clothing Factory employees; instead, he knocked on the serving window.

He explained the situation to the person serving food inside, and soon, the person inside brought out a few prepared dishes.

“Alright, the trays are in the cabinet over there; you can choose what you want to eat.”

Zhao Yang pointed to the disinfection cabinet not far away.

Wu Yu heard this and led the Clothing Factory employees to get their trays.

Holding their trays, they lined up at the serving window.

Wu Yu glanced at the dishes inside; there were only four dishes: braised pork, dried tofu, stewed green beans, and a cold dish.

Seeing these, he couldn't help but compare them to the Clothing Factory's restaurant.

Of these four dishes, only the braised pork was presentable, but neither its color nor its appearance was as good as what the Clothing Factory's chef made.

After thinking for a moment,

He finally chose braised pork and dried tofu, and also asked for a portion of rice.

At the dining table,

Wu Yu picked up a piece of braised pork and tasted it, gradually frowning.

This braised pork was a bit greasy!

The Clothing Factory employees next to him also ate a few bites of the dishes and discussed in low voices.

“The food isn’t good either; there are only four dishes, but our Clothing Factory has six.”

“The taste isn’t good either; it’s far from Uncle Wang’s cooking.”

“I thought a big factory’s cafeteria would be great, but it’s just this!”

Soon, after finishing the meal,

Zhao Yang walked over at the opportune moment.

“After eating, I’ll take you to the dormitory to arrange your accommodation.”

“Our dormitories are four-person rooms; you have three female workers, who can be arranged in the female dormitory. The remaining seven male workers will be divided into two dorm Rooms.”

“I’ll take you there now.”

The employee cafeteria was not far from the employee dormitory; after walking a few dozen meters, they arrived at the employee dormitory building.

Wu Yu and the others curiously followed Zhao Yang into the employee dormitory, wondering what a large factory's employee dormitory looked like.

“The female dormitory is on the right; I’ll take you there later. Let’s go to the male side first.”

Zhao Yang said, then led the way towards the stairs on the left.

Arriving on the second floor,

They finally stopped in front of the two innermost dormitories.

“These two Rooms are your dormitories.”

Zhao Yang said, while taking out the key and opening the dormitory door.

Creak,

The dormitory door was opened.

Everyone curiously followed him inside.

They saw that the Room space was not very large; there were two bunk beds placed inside.

Against the wall, there was also a simple iron wardrobe.

The entire Room, apart from the beds and wardrobe, had no other extra furnishings.

This… was this a large factory's employee dormitory?

Wu Yu's eyes held confusion; it seemed different from what he had imagined.

“Huh, there’s no restroom in this Room?”

A Clothing Factory employee asked.
