After chatting about the new house for a while, Chen Zhaodi couldn't hide the smile on her face.
She suddenly got excited and didn't want to go to class anymore.
"Let's go, let's go look at houses. I haven't even been to this house much since we bought it, I've been completely held up by other things!"
It refers to the constant trouble caused by the third wife and her husband.
Zhou Hongyu was pulled to her feet, just as Zhou Bing and Chen Lijuan returned from their business meeting at Aiqiao Bridge.
Chen Lijuan looked exhausted, but as soon as she entered, she exclaimed, "Boss, treat us to a big meal! We've finalized the deal with Aiqiao!"
The meals that could satisfy Chen Lijuan were never cheap, so this time Zhou Hongyu decisively pulled Chen Zhaodi along.
"Hurry up, didn't you say you wanted to look at houses!"
Chen Zhaodi was a little hesitant to move: "...But we're having a big meal..."
Zhou Hongyu whispered sternly to her, "Chen Lijuan has the appetite to eat up your entire bonus this month. Don't forget you're the boss too!"
"Then let's go quickly!"
Chen Zhaodi immediately snapped out of her daze; she was so used to working that she had almost forgotten she was also a boss.
Before leaving, Zhou Hongyu waved her hand and said, "Zhou Bing, take two hundred yuan from the account today as a reward for you guys!"
Normally she wouldn't be so generous; two hundred yuan is equivalent to three months' salary for an average person. However, the cooperation with Aiqiao will bring a steady stream of revenue, so she still has to spend this amount.
After drinking several large gulps of tea, Chen Lijuan watched helplessly as the boss ran away, and the feast she had been dreaming of tonight was gone.
Chen Lijuan finished her drink in one gulp, feeling frustrated, and held out her hand to Zhou Bing: "Give me my hundred yuan!"
Alright, take this hundred yuan and ask your in-laws to prepare a big, filling meal for her when you get home tonight.
Zhou Bing readily took out two hundred yuan from the small drawer where Zhou Hongyu kept her money, keeping one hundred yuan for himself and handing the other hundred yuan to Chen Lijuan.
"Wait a minute, the boss said this money is for treating everyone to dinner, right?"
The new female employee, Wu Xiufang, spoke up at an inopportune moment.
Zhou Bing was clearly taken aback.
Chen Lijuan ignored her completely and simply accepted the money and put it in her wallet.
"That's true, but without the two of us, you wouldn't benefit either. I'm a bit selfish, and I don't want to hang out with you guys!"
Zhou Bing tried to smooth things over: "Sister Xiufang, I have another hundred yuan here that I can share. If you want to eat out tonight, then take this hundred yuan and go out to spend it. If you don't want to, then I'll decide to divide it among you, twenty-five yuan each!"
The eyes of the two male employees who had been silent all along lit up.
Twenty-five yuan! That's half a month's salary!
Wu Xiufang, however, still wouldn't let go of the selfish Chen Lijuan: "Zhou Bing, don't say that. Two hundred yuan should have been divided equally. Even if we don't go out to eat, if we divide two hundred yuan among five people, each person can get forty yuan!"
Forty dollars is much more than twenty-five dollars.
The two new male employees, upon hearing this, dared not entertain any further thoughts.
The three of them joined the company. Chen Lijuan was in charge of the male employees, and Zhou Bing was in charge of the female employees. The reason was that Zhou Bing was chosen first, and Chen Lijuan didn't care about it.
In just a few days, they learned that Zhou Bing was usually easy to talk to and not bound by rules, while Chen Zhaodi was different and particularly protective of her food.
She possesses the traditional virtues of the Chen family; anything that gets into her mouth will never get out.
Zhou Bing knew something was wrong as soon as he heard this, and was about to try to de-escalate the tense situation when Chen Lijuan spoke first.
“I’m a very meticulous person. If you insist on calculating things this way, then I’ll have to ask you for lost wages! You did well in the first few days, right? You thought it was all your own doing?”
Chen Lijuan sneered: "It's because the store provides you with such a great platform! If I didn't go out to discuss business, how much of the revenue would you get? I can earn sixty yuan a day. Over these five days, how much do the three of you have to give me? Heh, you still want to take a share of my money!"
This is the compensation her boss gave her for lost wages!
Zhou Bing coughed, his cold gaze restraining the agitated Wu Xiufang, before apologizing.
"Lijuan, Xiufang was wrong. I apologize to you on her behalf. Xiufang, apologize quickly!"
Wu Xiufang reluctantly finished her apology, a hint of resentment lingering in her eyes.
Chen Lijuan crossed her arms and said dismissively, "Zhou Bing, she's just a new employee, why is she so arrogant? Who does she think she is? Is she your girlfriend?"
Zhou Bing, sweating profusely, denied it: "No, she's just my classmate's older sister!"
Wu Xiufang immediately became unhappy, and her expression turned aggrieved.
Among the new male employees, the sunny and handsome Wen Zhixin felt sorry for the beauty and thought he should say something. However, when faced with Chen Lijuan, he ultimately chose to prioritize saving his own life.
Zhou Bing's expression was serious: "This will not happen again. Wu Xiufang, you are someone I trained, so you should know how to follow the rules. Otherwise, I will be the first to tell the boss to fire you!"
Wu Xiufang's face turned very ugly, and the two male employees looked on with unease.
Wu Xiufang was the cousin of a female classmate whom Zhou Bing had a crush on during their school days.
That female classmate had excellent grades and was admitted to a key high school, with a great chance of getting into university. She was bound to be an outstanding person in the future. Zhou Bing didn't dare to hope for that, but he couldn't help but be more tolerant of Wu Xiufang because of his love for her. This is why Wu Xiufang failed to recognize her own shortcomings.
Chen Lijuan sneered: "You're her mentor. If you can't teach her well, I'll definitely find the boss and fire her before you do!"
Wu Xiufang immediately dropped her affectation, her face turned pale, and she respectfully apologized to Chen Lijuan again.
This job couldn't be better. The salary is high, the benefits are good, the atmosphere is great, and the boss is generous. The only downside is that it's not a secure job, and she doesn't want to lose it no matter what.
On the bus, Chen Zhaodi chattered on about her new house, then suddenly changed the subject and came to Zhou Bing.
"You know what, even though Zhou Bing hasn't been an adult for long, this kid is quite popular!"
Chen Zhaodi became inexplicably excited when talking about gossip: "He said Wu Xiufang is his classmate's older sister. I don't quite believe it. I think Wu Xiufang seems to like him a bit! But Wu Xiufang is much older than him! Is this possible?"
“Zhou Bing likes someone else; he doesn’t seem like the type to like Wu Xiufang!” Zhou Hongyu denied.
Chen Zhaodi exclaimed excitedly, "Look at you, you're not as good as me! I'm with them every day, how could I not know whether Zhou Bing likes Wu Xiufang or not? Zhou Bing treats Wu Xiufang very well!"
"illusion!"
As she spoke, Zhou Hongyu realized they were not far from the residential area, so she craned her neck to look out the window.
"If you observe more closely, you'll find that Zhou Bing treats Lijuan quite well, and even you well. Could it be that he has feelings for you too?"
Chen Zhaodi shook her head frantically: "Zhou Hongyu, you're so embarrassing! Your nephew has feelings for me, how can you even say that!"
Just then, at the entrance of the residential area, Zhou Hongyu wanted to call Chen Zhaodi.
Chen Zhaodi resisted her words and dodged her hand, which angered Zhou Hongyu so much that she slapped her.
"We've arrived. Are you coming or not? If not, I'm coming!"
