Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

Early the next morning.

There were crowds of people gathered outside the catering company's gate.

Some of them were educated youth and their families who came after hearing the news, some were from the street educated youth resettlement office, and even some were from other collective organizations.

They all came here specially after seeing the big-character propaganda posters.

A huge crowd of people!

On the other side, Gao Dapeng and the managers of five other state-owned restaurants, as well as the waiters from each store, also formed a team and waited on the side.

8:50 am.

When Sun Jun rode his bicycle to the company gate, he was shocked by the scene before him.

There must be at least three hundred people blocking the entrance of their company!

Not understanding what these people were doing, Sun Jun pushed his cart to the back of the crowd, found a man of similar age, and asked, "Comrade, what are you doing? There are so many of you."

The man turned his head and glanced at Sun Jun: "You don't know?"

"Know what?" Sun Jun's head was full of question marks.

"The catering company is going to outsource the state-owned restaurants. It's all public knowledge now. Big-character posters are posted everywhere. These people are here to ask about it." The man explained to Sun Jun.

what!

When Sun Jun heard this, he was completely stunned.

Subconsciously, he uttered, "Who posted the big-character poster?"

"Look at the question you asked. Who else could it be? It must be someone from the catering company." The man said with a smile.

It must be Gao Dapeng!

It’s definitely Gao Dapeng!

At this moment, Sun Jun did not make any other guesses and was almost 100% certain that Gao Dapeng did it.

Gao Dapeng, who was standing on the other side, was chatting with several hotel managers while looking at the group of people.

I happened to see Sun Jun at the back of the crowd, carrying a briefcase and pushing a bicycle.

"Mr. Sun is here. Let's go..." Gao Dapeng shouted to several people.

On the other side, Director Sun was pushing his bicycle and was about to turn it around, wanting to enter the company through the back door.

Before he had taken a few steps, his way was blocked by a group of people.

Gao Dapeng even reached out and grabbed Sun Jun's handlebars, deliberately preventing Sun Jun from leaving.

"What are you doing!" Seeing Gao Dapeng leading so many people, Sun Jun was instinctively a little panicked, but he still mustered up the courage to shout.

Stopping Sun Jun, Gao Dapeng deliberately raised his voice and shouted, "Boss Sun, you can't lease the state-owned restaurant to someone else. We, the hotel employees, have worked diligently for so many years. If you lease the restaurant to someone else, how will we survive?"

"Mr. Sun, we all know now. To curry favor with the county leaders, you're going to subcontract the state-owned restaurant to Deputy County Chief Zhou's nephew at a low price. But by doing this, you're undermining the state! You're destroying the jobs of us workers and starving us all to death!"

Gao Dapeng shouted very loudly, and his voice was filled with tears.

It immediately attracted the people in front of the door. When more than a hundred people heard that the leader of the catering company was there, they all gathered around.

Gao Dapeng's tearful performance also stunned the managers of the other five hotels. They were all a little confused because the script they had discussed before was not like this.

Didn’t we agree to apply for the contract together?

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm telling you! You are slandering me! You are defaming me!" Sun Jun's face turned red. He was angry and scared.

He didn't expect that Gao Dapeng would actually shout out these things in public.

This is no longer a falling out.

This is clearly a fucking mistake!

"I'm slandering you?" Gao Dapeng continued, "Mr. Sun, how dare you say that you didn't intend to contract our restaurant to Deputy County Chief Zhou's nephew, Zhong Yuanbing, for 600 yuan a month? You've already negotiated the contract, and now all that's left is to sign it!"

Gao Dapeng shouted so loudly that everyone around him heard it.

When the hotel waiters who came with him heard these words, they all stared at Sun Jun with anger on their faces.

The hotel is gone, and these people will never have such good jobs again. They originally thought that the company had to outsource the hotel due to poor management, but they didn’t expect that there would be such a dirty thing here!

Several older waiters came forward and surrounded Director Sun, loudly questioning:

"Mr. Sun, is what Manager Gao said true?"

"Boss Sun, you must give us an explanation today! Why did you contract our restaurant to someone else? Why did you destroy our jobs?"

"That's right! What right do you have to destroy our jobs?"

······

Surrounded by this group of old women, Sun Jun felt overwhelmed.

"Calm down!" Sun Jun shouted.

The hotel staff surrounded Sun Jun to ask for an explanation. The people outside all became spectators and the scene was very chaotic for a while.

Although they didn't understand what was going on with the contracting, there was one thing that everyone present heard.

Mr. Sun from the catering company seemed to be colluding with the deputy county chief named Zhou, and wanted to sell the state-owned restaurants contracted to the deputy county chief's nephew for 600 yuan.

He even mentioned the person's name, which made the people present believe it a little more.

Many people started discussing:

"This person is really too brave."

"It's not enough for this official to bully others at the top, now he's even trying to undermine the country. He's really evil-minded!"

"People like him should be arrested, paraded through the streets, criticized, and finally thrown into prison for proper reform!"

"Damn corrupt official!"

······

When Sun Jun heard these words, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Who said that? No, no! It's not true at all! He's talking nonsense, don't believe it!" Sun Jun shouted.

"I'm not lying! Director Bai told me that himself!" Gao Dapeng yelled. "Just because I knew your secret, you transferred me from hotel manager to sweeping the floor in the logistics department! You're eliminating dissidents and retaliating! The transfer order has even been sent to our hotel. How dare you, Mr. Sun, say this didn't happen?"

Sun Jun wanted to say no.

But Gao Dapeng immediately pasted the transfer order again and held it up high.

"Look, this is the evidence of his revenge against me!"

Gao Dapeng then waved his arms and shouted, "Oppose contracting! Oppose the infringement of state interests! Oppose the infringement of workers' interests!"

"Oppose contracting! Oppose the infringement of state interests! Oppose the infringement of workers' interests!"

Behind Gao Dapeng, the waiters and chefs at Beiwei Restaurant all started shouting, their voices getting louder and louder.

Faced with the hotel employees who were pressing him step by step, Sun Jun had no idea how to respond.

"Don't mess around! There's a misunderstanding here! Let me explain!"
