Chapter 95 Chapter 95 After working hard for a whole year, I finally returned...
Like last year, this year's bonuses were also paid in advance. On the third day after Liu Suqin returned to work after picking up her younger brother, President Su, who had not shown up for half a month, personally carried a suitcase to the office on the second floor.
After a while, colleagues were called to the office for talks one by one. When they entered, they rubbed their hands with anticipation on their faces. When they came out, they pretended to be calm, but their eyes were filled with unconcealable surprise and excitement, which showed how rich their gains were.
After seeing her colleagues' reactions, when Liu Suqin went to the boss's office, she couldn't help but be shocked by the thickness of the envelope she received.
If it were all hundred-dollar bills, this stack would be equivalent to her two months' salary.
She has already submitted her resignation, but the boss didn't try to deduct her salary or commission. Instead, he gave her a bonus. What kind of leader is this!
Liu Suqin was deeply moved, and President Su smiled faintly. "Don't get me wrong, this is just your year-end bonus. Although I'm deeply saddened that you'll be leaving us next year, you've worked diligently and relentlessly for me over the past two years. Your growth in the workplace has been astonishing, and I have no regrets personally hiring you. Of course, I want to train you to become a management talent like Julie, to be my right-hand man. But everyone has their own aspirations. I respect your choice and believe you will continue to improve."
She was the first employee that General Manager Su personally recruited after coming to the mainland. She always had a special status in front of the boss. In addition, her performance was also very good, so General Manager Su's expectations of her were constantly rising. Faced with her sudden resignation, General Manager Su, who was always decisive and concise, expressed his regret for the second time in a long speech. It can be seen that he was really sorry.
However, President Su wasn't one to be clingy. After a pause, he promptly returned to the main point. "Anyway, these bonuses are what you deserve, so feel free to accept them. As for your salary and commissions since you resigned, I've had them recorded. The finance department will deposit them into your payroll card on the next payday. Keep an eye on it then. If you don't receive them, feel free to contact me or Julie. Of course, you can always come back to visit us when you're free. We all miss you so much."
Too respectable! This was exactly the kind of female business boss she'd imagined, with vision, skill, and even more personal charm. If Liu Suqin were single like Julie, she would have followed President Su wholeheartedly to build her own business. At least President Su, besides just making empty promises, never hesitated to spend money when it came time to do so.
Alas, she regretted that they had not met before she got married and had a baby early. Her career planning had to be coordinated with the child and the family. She was destined not to be a strong woman in this life, and could only be a small boss with no ambition.
Liu Suqin does not regret marrying young, and is willing to stay with her family and children. However, this does not prevent her from sincerely admiring President Su and Julie for their decisiveness in the workplace. She sends her most sincere wishes to President Su, hoping that they can grow bigger and stronger as soon as possible and open stores all over the country.
After saying goodbye politely to each other, Liu Suqin was about to leave. After all, her boss was very busy, and there were still a lot of people waiting in line to get their bonuses. Unexpectedly, Mr. Su pulled her aside to chat, "I heard from Julie that you are planning to take your family to Hong Kong for a few days during the New Year?"
Liu Suqin was so surprised that she was a little incoherent. "Yes, yes, I have wanted to visit Hong Kong for a long time. Unfortunately, I only recently asked someone to apply for a travel permit. My child just turned three, so I can take her out to see the world. I don't plan to go back to my hometown this time. I plan to take my child to the island for the New Year with my husband and I, and then fly to Hong Kong on the fifth day of the first lunar month. On the eighth day of the first lunar month, I will go back to Shenzhen with Julie and the others..."
People just asked her about her New Year's trip to Gangcheng, but she went on and on with a bunch of irrelevant things. Liu Suqin was a little speechless after she finished, but President Su kept looking at her with a smile, "This is a good arrangement. It's your first time in Gangcheng, and I should have treated you well. Unfortunately, I also planned a vacation to Europe this Spring Festival, so I can only let Julie and Afeng play the role of hospitality. I'll leave the car keys with them before I leave, and let them drive you and the children out for fun. If we have the chance to meet in Gangcheng next time, I'll treat you to a meal."
Liu Suqin was once again moved by her boss. When she returned home and told Lin Nanjiang about it, he was also surprised. Their eyes met, and the couple sighed in unison, "Is this the mindset of a big boss?!"
They were just ordinary people who couldn't understand the operations of the big bosses and couldn't learn from them. After expressing their feelings, they put the matter aside and began to discuss enthusiastically that with the car sponsored by Mr. Su, they could visit more attractions and add more things to their shopping list. When they came back with Julie and Afeng, no matter how much luggage they had, there would be someone to help share it, so they could shop with confidence.
During the heated discussion, Liu Suqin even opened her notebook and began to write. "I heard that gold is very cheap there, but the market is mixed, and there are people who deliberately lead mainland tourists like us to buy fake gold. However, Julie and Afeng agreed to be our guides. With them leading us, we don't have to worry about buying fake gold. We can buy more at once, and it would be best if we buy all the gold jewelry for the next two years at once."
"Why not buy more while they're still cheap? Fangfang's a girl, and it's popular for girls in Shenzhen to show off their gold when they get married. No matter how much you buy, it's never too much," Lin Nanjiang suggested enthusiastically. "Let's buy a few safes when we get back, and keep one specifically for gold. When you open the safe door, you'll be greeted by a sea of gold. Isn't that pleasing to the eye?"
Liu Suqin imagined the scene, which was indeed very tempting. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, but she immediately shook her head and refused. "It's better not to be greedy. Gold can be acquired slowly. Now the money is limited. Let's save some money to buy famous brands."
Hong Kong is now a famous shopping paradise. How can you not buy a few brand-name items when you go there?
Lin Nanjiang was curious, "What brand? Is it the kind of bag Julie and the others carry?"
Liu Suqin smiled at him and said, "I do want to buy two bags to rotate, but I can't just think about myself. You work so hard, so I should also pick out a gift to reward you. How about buying you a Rolex?"
I still remember that they watched a Hong Kong movie in the first half of the year. There was a very classic line in the movie, "If you want to get involved in gangs, you have to wear a Rolex watch and drive a Mercedes-Benz, so that you can be invincible." They watched it with Lin Quansheng and others at the time. This line directly aroused the curiosity of several men about Rolex and Mercedes-Benz. They discussed it all the way back from the cinema. When Lin Nanjiang got home, he also flipped through the fashion magazine that Liu Suqin subscribed to and saw the introduction of this watch brand in it.
Although these magazines were bought by Liu Suqin, and she usually read them very seriously, everyone has different interests. For example, she just glanced at the magazines about watches and cars and didn't take them seriously. It was not until Lin Nanjiang pulled her to look at the brand introductions that Liu Suqin was shocked. In her impression, brand-name watches were more expensive than cars and houses, often costing hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan. There was a famous saying at the time: the poor play with cars and the rich play with watches.
And now, the famous Rolex gold watch can be bought for only 10,000 or 20,000 yuan for the entry level, which is almost free when rounded off. Isn’t this more valuable than a house or gold jewelry?
It's such a pity that she knew almost nothing about famous watches in her previous life. She only heard about two high-end brands, Rolex and Patek Philippe, on the Internet and knew that they were very noble.
But Liu Suqin had no idea which series and models were the most valuable for collection. Even if she discovered this path to wealth, she would not know where to start. She could only resort to the stupid method of buying houses and hoarding gold.
The saying “People can never make money beyond their knowledge” is becoming more and more valuable.
However, even if she only earned money within her means, Liu Suqin would be satisfied.
This year she picked and chose, and chose five old and dilapidated houses and two small shops. Most of Lin Nanjiang's income was spent on these, leaving less than 200,000 yuan. She would fly to the island to rent a villa for the New Year, take the children to experience the joy of yachting, go to the shopping paradise to buy gold and famous bags and watches, and also reserve some funds for her to open a shop after the New Year. Money is tight, but as long as she thinks about so many houses, even if she is unlucky enough that none of them can be demolished, they will appreciate in value.
When Shenzhen's housing prices soar like a rocket to the highest in the country, there will be a day when you will be worth tens of millions.
So even though she missed the opportunity to make a fortune, Liu Suqin didn't regret it very much. Being a simple and unpretentious landlady was not bad either.
You can buy a Rolex for your hardworking husband. He likes it and they can afford it, so just buy it.
Collection value is just icing on the cake. It’s best to have it, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t.
Liu Suqin's suggestion really made Lin Nanjiang so happy that he almost wagged his tail around her, "Really, wife, you want to buy me a Rolex?"
"But Rolex is so expensive. If you buy it, will you be able to open a store successfully next year?"
Seeing this person circling around her like a big dog acting like a spoiled child, Liu Suqin patted the dog's head very skillfully and said soothingly, "It's okay. We have so many houses. If I mortgage any one of them to the bank, it would be enough for me to raise money to open a store."
Besides, she didn't plan to buy him something too expensive. Her budget was around 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, which was enough. She wanted to use the remaining money to buy Hermès and LV classic monograms, some gifts for her daughter, and gifts for other family members. If she wasn't careful, she might really exceed the budget.
There really is never enough money to spend.
Lin Nanjiang thought the same as her. After working hard for a whole year, he would be back to the time before liberation, and the balance in his card would always be around 200,000 yuan.
And after the New Year, this figure will no longer be maintained. He sighed deeply and said, "I have to work hard to make money next year."
Liu Suqin glanced at him and asked, "Do you regret letting me be the housekeeper?"
Lin Nanjiang, who had a strong desire to survive, shook his head repeatedly, "I just feel that I don't earn enough. I have to work harder next year and try to buy you whatever you want."
His words were not only to please his wife, but also his true feelings. His wife was good at spending money, but her investments were planned and she did not squander it at will. Even when buying jewelry, she had to consider the appreciation value. The thick stack of real estate certificates in the drawer of the room was their future retirement fund.
Besides, she didn't just spend his money. Her own salary also covered the monthly household expenses, as well as the salaries of her mother-in-law and Aunt Zhang. Lin Nanjiang felt so distressed for his wife who planned for their retirement wholeheartedly and unreservedly that how could he regret giving the money to her?
