Chapter 27

Deng Hailong and Tang Chao were familiar with each other, so in order to facilitate movement, they chose rooms next to each other.

These are the two rooms at the very end of the 5th floor. Tang Chao likes quietness and thought that the very end should be less noisy.

Surprisingly, quietness has nothing to do with location.

Tang Chao walked into the room with his parents and others. As soon as they closed the door, the screams of Deng Hailong and others were instantly isolated outside.

They chose a double room. There was a hallway as they entered the room. On the left side of the hallway was a wardrobe that reached the ceiling. It was about 1.5 meters long, which was enough to hold their few belongings.

On the right side of the entrance is a bathroom with separate wet and dry areas. Outside is a white washbasin with a glass mirror. Under the washbasin is a cabinet, and next to it is the washing machine that Deng Hailong and his friends like.

Next is the interior of the room, which has two 1.5*2 meter beds with uniform white sheets and quilt covers. The beds are made meticulously and extremely flat, making people reluctant to sit on them and wrinkle them.

The room is very spacious, and there is even a 1.5-meter-long space at the end of the bed. There is also a horizontal board pulled out from the wall halfway up the waist, which is enough to store some miscellaneous items.

The space under the horizontal board was empty, with only two wooden chairs.

The room is also very long, with bedside tables on both sides of the two beds, in the same color as the chairs. There is also a large open space near the window, about 2 meters wide, where a sofa or a table can be placed in the future.

The most popular feature of the room is probably the window, which allows abundant sunlight from outside to shine into the room, making it look bright.

The two elders began to feel uneasy as they entered the room. Tang Chao smiled and helped them sit on the bed by the window: "Dad, Mom, you sleep in this room. When I make money, I'll take you to live in a better place."

The two elders responded in unison: "Hey."

They stroked the smooth pillow fabric, the joy on their faces was self-evident.

The structure of Deng Hailong's room is the same, except that the two single beds are replaced with four bunk beds with desks underneath.

After a quick look, they headed out decisively. There were still several bus trips to run today, so they had to perform well on the first day.

It was the first time for Deng Hailong and his companions to take on a mission. Ye Qing was worried about accidents so he asked Zeng Yi to follow them. After today they would gradually adapt and everything would be fine.

The team continued to go to Shanhai City to pick up residents, and Ye Qing helped several employees at the counter to register the newcomers.

The next train did not stop at the station, so they took advantage of the time to go to a small restaurant for a meal before the second wave of passengers arrived.

A group of people started working non-stop, introducing, registering, leading...

When the third wave of passengers arrived, Deng Hailong rushed in excitedly, shouting, "Boss, there was a voice reminding me to upgrade! Is this the upgrade I understand?"

As bus drivers, Ye Qing tied them to the bus system and could hear some operating and upgrade information about the system, but the final decision-making power lay with him.

As she walked, she opened the panel and saw the word "upgrade".

The upgrade of public transportation is related to the number of passengers transported. The more people transported, the faster the upgrade. At the beginning, the lower the level, the faster the upgrade.

After Ye Qing clicked on the upgrade, the small bus in front of him refreshed immediately, and the carriage was divided into two parts.

Apart from the change in length, its appearance is still as cute as the original pink cat.

The number of seats inside has also been increased accordingly, and now the total capacity for sitting tickets and standing tickets is 100 people.

Deng Hailong and the onlookers saw this scene for the first time and it felt like a magic trick. They felt dizzy and dazed.

They walked forward in disbelief, touched it, and examined it several times before confirming that it was really the real thing.

After the upgrade, the number of passengers on the bus increased, and the work that was originally scheduled to end at 12 o'clock was completed at 10 o'clock.

After seeing off the last customer, everyone collapsed exhausted in the small restaurant.

Ye Qing took out one portion of each steamed dish, then took out a bunch of drinks from the buffet counter and placed them on the table for everyone to eat and drink.

"Everyone has worked hard today, it's time to eat and drink."

Deng Hailong and his friends thought that bread and boneless chicken feet were the best, but they didn't expect there would be so many steaming hot dishes.

The fragrant white rice, the mouth-watering meat, the colorful snacks, and the juicy green vegetables, each one stimulates everyone's taste buds.

Because everyone was tired from work, they all felt particularly satisfied with the meal.

When everyone had almost finished eating, Ye Qing took a piggy bank from the counter.

Everyone probably guessed something, and they all stopped what they were doing and looked at her at the same time.

Ye Qing coughed lightly and began to get to the point: "Today is the first day for several of us new employees to join the shelter. I believe everyone has just met. We will all be colleagues in the future. We should get along well and help each other."

"Got it!" Deng Hailong was the first to raise his hand in response.

His brothers also responded loudly: "Okay, boss!"

The staff at the shelter were all quiet and this was the first time such a lively person appeared, causing everyone to cover their mouths and laugh.

Ye Qing made a silent gesture and waited until everyone was quiet before continuing: "Everyone has worked hard today, so tonight's wages will be doubled, and new employees will get some."

"Really? We have it too?"

"Boss, you are my God! Boss..."

Deng Hailong wanted to say something, but was stopped by the threatening look of Zeng the housekeeper, so he shut his mouth timidly.

Then Ye Qing took the employee attendance sheet from Zeng Yi and started distributing it according to the records on it.

"Da Mao's 8 days, Xiao Qi'er, Er Mao's, and San Mao's 9 days each."

This was her first batch of employees, and they worked longer hours than the others. Big Hair and Little Beggar were paid 30 crystal cores per day, while Second Hair and Third Hair were paid 20 crystal cores per day.

Ye Qing solemnly handed over the crystal cores to several young employees. They clasped their hands together and took the pile of crystal cores as treasures.

The little beggar counted them one by one. He got the most among his friends. Including tonight's overtime pay, he got a total of 300 crystal cores.

He planned to buy some snacks and put them in the dormitory for his friends, and he planned to save the rest. He would carefully designate a purpose for each one and not squander it.

It was the first time for Ermao and Sanmao to have money in their pockets. They were a little overwhelmed when holding it. After taking it out, they handed it to Damao: "Brother, here you go."

Damao looked at his younger siblings and shook his head with a smile: "This is the money you earned, keep it safe. You can use it to buy anything you want in the future."

Sanmao asked sweetly, "Brother, can I buy some candy and put it in the dormitory?"

Da Mao rubbed his sister's hair, which was becoming more and more nourishing, and said gently: "Okay, but you can't eat too much candy~"

Sanmao was very obedient: "I know, brother. I will listen to Sister Yuanyuan and only eat one candy a day."

The second batch of employees worked for exactly 7 days, and their salary packages were 50 crystal cores for Qian Fei and 30 crystal cores each for the others.

Deng Hailong and his companions, who were the last group to arrive, also received their share. Their salary was 50 crystal cores per day for Deng Hailong and Tang Chao, and 40 crystal cores per day for the others. With their wages doubled today, they harvested nearly a hundred crystal cores at once.

"Hey, Boss, we've earned a week's rent."

"Yes, it includes three meals a day, so it doesn't cost anything. In the future, if I work one day, I can save one more day's money."

"That's great! I don't have to go hunting anymore. I don't make any money and I get hurt."

After everyone had sent their messages, Ye Qing began the final process.

"Finally, we're going to issue an employee work manual. This is a document that Butler Zeng put a lot of effort into drafting. If anyone has any questions, please let me know."

After saying that, Ye Qing handed out a few pieces of paper.

Deng Hailong read aloud from a copy: "This Code of Conduct is formulated to clarify the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of employees at this shelter during their work, as well as the regulations that must be followed."

"Employees must arrive and leave work on time and must not be late or leave early. If there are special matters, they must ask for leave in advance from the supervisor. Any violation will be recorded on the employee evaluation form."

"Every employee must have a high sense of responsibility and dedication, always prioritize the interests of the company, and work hard for the company's development."

"Working hours are regulated. Special types of workers have day and night shifts with days off, while other types of workers have day shifts. What does this mean, boss?"

Ye Qing: "Special jobs like patrolling, guarding, and working the counter are positions that require someone to be on duty at all times. These positions usually require at least two people, one working during the day and one at night."

Everyone exclaimed "Oh" as they suddenly understood.

Ye Qing paused for a moment. "Of course, for special circumstances like today, those who need to work overtime will be paid overtime. Overtime on weekdays is 1.5 times the salary, overtime on weekends is 2 times the salary, and overtime on holidays is 3 times the salary. This rule is written in the welfare benefits section at the back."

Deng Hailong asked again: "What about holidays?"

Ye Qing: "Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Spring Festival, May Day, National Day, etc."

"Wouldn't that be the same as before the apocalypse?"

"Yeah, even Shanhai City doesn't give its employees any holidays, even if they have a stable job, right, Tang Dynasty?"

Tang Chao stared at the rules on the paper and nodded.

"Employee Benefit 1: All employees are provided with three meals a day, but these meals are only available in the cafeteria and at the counter. Other items must be purchased separately. All benefits are for personal use only and cannot be taken privately. Violations will result in dismissal."

"Boss, how do you know that I am the only one who enjoys this?"

Ye Qing: "That's a good question! The thing is, our shelter has set up an automatic recognition mechanism. For example, if you want to eat employee meals, you must eat in the cafeteria. You can't take them home. The same goes for the containers. You can't say you want to eat tonight and take them home. You can only eat on the spot. If they recognize you and you pass it to someone else or take it home, you will be in violation."

"Oh, I see. We must remember this rule to avoid violating it. What if I want to treat someone to a meal and pay for it myself?"

Ye Qing: "Then it won't be considered a violation."

"I see. That's brilliant."

"Boss, what's the benefit number 1, which is six days on, one day off?"

Ye Qing: "The six-day-off policy means you're required to take one day off after working six days. You can discuss the specific shift schedule with Zeng, the housekeeper, to ensure there are people on duty every day. You won't get paid on the day off, but employee benefits will always be there~"

"There's still the concept of a holiday. That's great. I'm going to sleep well that day."

"Hey, me too."

"Boss, you have this. What does employee physical examination mean?"

Ye Qing: "It means that all employees of the shelter can see a doctor in the small clinic for free once, and all the medicines they get that day are free."

"Oh! So this is the employee physical examination. This is the first time I've heard of it."

"Do you think other people are as generous as the boss? He even gives you a physical examination and it's good enough to give you food."

Tang Chao also felt the same way. He was a guard in Shanhai City. Logically speaking, this position was an iron rice bowl that everyone envied. However, not only was this iron rice bowl untenable, but the benefits were also a thousand times worse than Ye Qing's.

Shanhaicheng provides lunch, which is basically a bowl of potatoes. It is considered good to have some meat once a month. There are no housing benefits or employee physical examinations.

But at the Taoyuan Shelter, not only are three meals a day provided, but the food is also exceptionally good. As long as you don't waste it, you can eat as much delicious fish and meat as you want. For Deng Hailong and someone who does physical work like him, unlimited delicious food is simply amazing!

Employees are given a discount on accommodation, and the accommodation is impeccable!

This simple one-page employee code of conduct was discussed until 12 o'clock.

Employees should be paid accordingly and receive certain benefits for their work. Ye Qing is not the kind of boss who would just let employees work without giving them any benefits.

After the discussion, everyone dispersed happily.
