On the 1st, which was the New Year's Day holiday, Jiang Xiaoli came to the food factory. She sat at Zong Jiayu's desk and opened the sales report from the previous month.

Sales within the province amounted to 5.364 million yuan.

Sales in Shanxi Province amounted to 5.235 million yuan.

Sales in Henan Province amounted to 5.313 million yuan.

Sales in Sichuan Province amounted to 8.124 million yuan.

Sales in Hubei Province amounted to 6.176 million yuan.

Sales in Hunan Province amounted to 7.861 million yuan.

Total sales amounted to 38.073 million yuan.

After deducting expenses such as raw material purchases and worker wages, the food factory's net profit in December reached 13.678 million yuan.

To be honest, Jiang Xiaoli herself was shocked by the number. She quickly signed her name on all the expense applications.

She looked at Zong Jiayu and said, "The food factory has too much money in its account. I'd like to distribute dividends at the end of the year. What do you think?"

Zong Jia nodded in agreement, "I think it's a good idea. The construction of our new factory and the purchase of new equipment at the beginning of the year will cost between 2 million and 3 million, and we have plenty of funds in our account."

Jiang Xiaoli tapped her fingers lightly on the table a few times. "Then let's do it this way. Let the finance department set aside the taxes due, and then distribute the profits at 5 million. The remaining money should be enough for the factory's operation and turnover."

Zong Jiayu smiled and said, "More than enough."

He changed his mind and asked her, "Should we think of a way to legally avoid paying personal income tax on dividends?"

Jiang Xiaoli waved her hand, "Just hand it in however you see fit. It's all about contributing to the motherland!"

"Okay, no problem. I reckon Uncle Wei will be very happy to receive his share of the profits."

Jiang Xiaoli chuckled, "Then you'd better keep this a secret and give us and Uncle Wei a surprise!"

The New Year's Day holiday ended, and Wei Dong rushed to Zong Jiayu's side in the morning, shouting, "Little Zong, Little Zong, what happened? I suddenly have hundreds of thousands more in my account!"

Zong Jia comforted him, "Uncle Wei, please take it without worry. This is Xiao Lizi's dividend for you. This year, the company has allocated 5 million yuan in dividends, and she wants you to have a good New Year."

Wei Dong was stunned for a long time upon hearing this. He was both happy and concerned. "That girl, Xiao Li, is really not stingy at all when it comes to giving money!"

Zong Jia nodded in agreement, then shook the report in his hand. "This is the year-end bonus distribution plan that Xiao Lizi has devised these past two days."

Wei Dong smiled and patted Zong Jiayu on the shoulder, "It seems that everyone in our food factory will have a good New Year."

"Yes, Little Pear has always hoped that everyone can make money together. As long as we work hard with her and strive towards a common goal, she will definitely not let us down."

Wei Dong was deeply moved. He exclaimed, "I wanted to do the same thing before, but I was just not capable enough. Handing over my family's factory to Xiao Li was the best decision I ever made!"

More and more factories are being acquired, and more and more workers are being laid off. There are very few people living as comfortably as the employees in our factory!

Zong Jia was infected by his emotions, "Uncle Wei, let's work hard, the better days are yet to come!"

Neither Zong Jia nor he himself realized that, at some point, he had become a core member of the Pear Blossom Fan Club!

January 27th, 28th, and 29th are the three days for the final exams of this semester at No. 20 Middle School.

This time, Jiang Xiaoli and Xu Xing did not take the exam with their classmates. Instead, they had specially customized test papers made for them by Chen Zhe and other teachers.

Before the exam started, Jiang Xiaoli rolled up her sleeves and said, "Xu Xiaoxing, I have a feeling you'll be my loser!"

Xu Xing asked, puzzled, "Why? What's the reason?"

Her eyes darted around in their sockets, but she still couldn't come up with a good reason.

But she was stubborn and arrogant, exclaiming, "The Sixth Sense!"

Even Xu Xing's usually good manners were broken by her, and he rolled his eyes.

The two of them took a mock college entrance exam a couple of days ago, and the teachers graded their papers immediately.

When Chen saw that both of them had a score of 1002 on the report card, he was so happy that he kept touching his slightly balding head.

These two kids took the humanities exam together, and with a total score of only 1010, they somehow managed to get an absurd score of 1002.

Jiang Xiaoli and Xu Xing were called to the office and stared at Chen for ten minutes, grinning foolishly.

She finally couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Chen, what's the schedule for our competition exam tomorrow?"

Chen nodded, "The math exam is at 9 a.m. tomorrow, and the physics exam is at 2 p.m. tomorrow."

"good."

At 8:55 a.m. on the 29th, Jiang Xiaoli rubbed her hands together, eager for a fight. "Xu Xiaoxing, it's time for us to go to war! You'd better get ready!"

Xu Xing was spurred on by her words, "I won't let you have it!"

"It's still uncertain who will give in!"

Hmph, still as arrogant as when they saw the class placement test results at the beginning of the semester!

Chen laughed as he watched the two of them bickering. "Haha, do your best on the test. Let me tell you in advance, this math competition test was personally set by Teacher Shang Run!"

After hearing his words, the two of them took the upcoming math competition exam even more seriously.

The new questions set by Teacher Shang Run were indeed extraordinary; both of them didn't finish answering them until almost the end of the exam time.

Jiang Xiaoli eagerly handed the test paper to Chen Zhe, "Teacher Chen, please grade our papers quickly!"

Chen had originally planned to go home for dinner early since he didn't have to invigilate today, but seeing his two favorite students, he resigned himself to taking out his red pen and grading their papers.

This test paper was the most difficult question they had encountered since they decided to participate in the math competition. Both of them made mistakes, but coincidentally, their final total scores were the same.
