Chapter 138
Wu Qiaoer thought about it and realized that it was usually the man who prepared the red envelope for the matchmaker.
"Whatever, Jialiang gave you a red envelope, so my mom has to prepare one for you too. If she gives it to you, just take it. There's no reason not to take money that's been given to you."
Wu Qiaoer said so, and Ye Fuyue agreed with a smile: "Okay, if she gives it to me, I will take it."
Chen Guifeng plans to make dumplings for lunch today and invite Wu Qiaoer to eat with her.
Wu Qiaoer waved her hand and said, "Aunt, I won't eat. My mother is waiting for me to go back for lunch."
Wu Qiao'er wasn't being polite; she really had no intention of eating at Ye Fuyue's place. Seeing that Chen Guifeng had already started making dumplings, Wu Qiao'er chatted with Ye Fuyue for a few more words before leaving.
After seeing Wu Qiao'er off, Ye Fuyue went into the kitchen and said, "Mom, I'll make dumplings with you."
Chen Guifeng pushed her out of the kitchen as if facing a formidable enemy. "Go out! The kitchen is very fumesy. Be careful not to get fumed. I don't need you to help me make dumplings. Just sit and wait for the food to be eaten."
Shen Yao also came over and pulled her out: "Leave the kitchen to Mom and Shen Shun, don't go in."
Ye Fuyue smiled helplessly and returned to her chair and sat back down.
Chen Shun was making dumplings with Chen Guifeng. Chen Guifeng was overwhelmed when she saw the crooked dumplings made by Chen Shun.
"You should put less stuffing in. Look at the dumplings you made. The wrappers are almost bursting with the stuffing. When you put them in the pot, they'll all fall apart."
"Dumplings taste better when they have more fillings! Mom, the dumplings you made before only had a little filling and they were not enough to eat." Shen Shun felt that there was nothing wrong with the dumplings he made and they were very good.
"Listen to me and put less stuffing. Otherwise, the dumplings will fall apart and you will have to eat them all!" Chen Guifeng said with a stern face.
When dumplings are cooked and fall apart, the skin and filling are separated, so there is nothing left to eat. Basically, you can only eat the dumpling skin.
"Okay." Shen Shun reluctantly took out a little of the filling that was stuffed all over the dumpling wrapper.
"No, there's still too much. At least get out half of it." Chen Guifeng stared.
Shen Shun could only take out half of the filling and put the excess filling back into the filling bowl.
"Remember, when you make dumplings in the future, you can only put this little filling in, otherwise you will just end up eating the dumpling skins!" Chen Guifeng took the opportunity to emphasize.
Shen Shun curled his lips and reluctantly agreed.
…
At the end of the month, Ye Fuyue went to the furniture factory to collect her salary.
She was about to knock on the door to enter Director Li's office, but found that it was not Director Li sitting in the office, but a middle-aged man who was completely unfamiliar to her.
Ye Fuyue thought she had walked into the wrong office. She took a closer look at the sign on the door and found that it was indeed the office of the director of the furniture factory!
The middle-aged man sitting in the office noticed her and asked unhappily, "Who are you?"
"Hello, I'm Ye Fuyue, and I'm here to see Director Li." Ye Fuyue said politely.
"You are Ye Fuyue." The middle-aged man said with disdain: "When you usually come to see Director Li, do you always walk in without knocking?"
"I was about to knock on the door when I found that the person sitting inside was not Director Li. I thought I had come to the wrong place." Ye Fuyue's tone became a little colder.
"You've come to the right place. Director Li has been transferred, and I'm in charge here now." The middle-aged man said, "You're here to collect your salary, right? Come in."
The middle-aged man took out a leather envelope from the drawer and threw it on the table next to Ye Fuyue.
Ye Fuyue now understood that the person in front of her was the new director who had squeezed out Director Li and had a good relationship with the new factory director.
Ye Fuyue counted the money in the leather envelope. There were sixty-two yuan and some bills, but not as many as the ones Director Li had given her when he was here.
This was her third time to come to the furniture factory since Director Li asked her to take the design draft back last time.
Director Li was still there when she came last time, but she didn't expect that Director Li was gone this time.
That is to say, since the last time, the dividends she received each month have become less and less. Last month it was barely 100 yuan, and this month compared with the previous month, it was directly reduced by 30 or 40 yuan.
Even if she didn't have any new dividends from the new furniture, she had designed so many pieces of furniture before. Ye Fuyue felt that the rate at which her dividends were decreasing was a bit abnormal.
She suspected that since the new factory manager came in, the monthly dividends she received from the factory were not based on actual sales. In other words, the factory was underpaying her.
Director Zheng noticed Ye Fuyue's dissatisfaction and said, "We can't help it. As soon as our new product comes out, other factories copy it. Our sales are bad, and naturally your salary is reduced. Don't think 62 yuan is too little this time. It's already higher than most people in our factory make. Maybe next month, you won't even get that much."
Ye Fuyue thought to herself: That's right. The amount we give now depends entirely on the mood of Director Zheng and the new factory manager, not on sales volume.
"There's one more thing I have to tell you, maybe you've already noticed it. Director Li doesn't want your design draft anymore, right? That's because our factory doesn't plan to cooperate with you anymore. To be honest, I don't think your design is that good. I don't understand why Director Li insisted on cooperating with you in the first place. Without the furniture you designed, our factory's performance is still good, and we still have to give you so much money every month for no reason. Director Li is just stupid and has poor vision." Director Zheng seemed to be criticizing Director Li, but in fact he was criticizing and belittling Ye Fuyue.
Ye Fuyue said, "You can refuse to cooperate. Cooperation is mutual. If you don't want to, I'm not the only one who has the option. It's just that Director Zheng, you seem to like to speak without thinking. I noticed earlier that you didn't understand the situation clearly and asserted that I usually came to see Director Li without knocking. Even now, I can get paid every month because I designed furniture and sold the furniture I designed. It's not that your factory gave me money for no reason. If you think there is something fishy about the money I received before, you can ask the union and the police to intervene."
Director Zheng looked grim.
He didn't expect that Ye Fuyue, a little girl, would dare to speak to him like that.
What is his identity and what is Ye Fuyue's identity.
Director Zheng said contemptuously, "Just because our factory won't cooperate with you, you're upset and say such harsh words? So you're just that narrow-minded!"
Ye Fuyue found it amusing: "Director Zheng, do you not understand? What did I say just now? How did it express that I am unhappy that you are not cooperating with me? Or did Director Zheng understand, but had nothing to refute, so he could only pretend not to understand and deliberately make trouble?"
"Honestly, I've designed so much furniture for the factory, but my salary has plummeted in the past two months. Even if other factories copied my designs, my salary wouldn't have dropped so drastically. I'm starting to suspect you haven't paid me based on actual sales. If you're no longer working with me, it's actually a good thing for me, isn't it?"
