After explaining the personnel transfers in the factory, Qin Yao praised all the managers and workers who had performed outstandingly in the past six months since the stationery factory was established.
Her praise is simple and straightforward, and it touches people's hearts. Give money if you do a good job!
The managers and outstanding workers excitedly lined up and came to the stage. Qin Yao directly asked someone to bring up the box of replaced copper coins.
The square cash box was as big as a bucket, with only a small round opening on the top, large enough for an adult's arm to fit in.
Qin Yao placed the heavy box on the table and waved her hand: "Come on, grab a handful for yourself, take as much as you can!"
The villagers who were watching the scene were all jealous. They really learned a lot today. First, two female managers came, and then they played the money-grabbing game. They were so generous, she was risking her life!
"Liu Ji."
Suddenly there was a call from the high platform. Liu Ji, who had been pulling at straws out of envy and jealousy, looked up blankly. What's going on?
Qin Yao waved her hand. "Under your leadership, the workers' learning plan was successfully carried out this year. The performance is very good. I hope you will continue to work hard next year and raise the cultural level of our stationery factory to a higher level!"
Qin Yao pointed to the cash box in front of her, "Please come up and grab your prize money."
Liu Ji's eyes lit up little by little. He couldn't believe it and confirmed it again and again. Seeing Qin Yao nodded seriously, he raised his hand and gently slapped the person beside him, "Does it hurt? Is this true? Did I hear it right? I was praised by the butler?"
The one who was slapped was Liu Qi. The young man was confused and angry. He turned around and saw that it was his third uncle. After all, he was his elder. He forced himself to nod and said, "It hurts!"
"But, Third Uncle, why did you hit me?" Liu Qi asked aggrievedly.
Liu Ji also felt embarrassed, and gently touched the face of the younger generation to comfort him: "Alright, alright, Third Uncle hit you because he likes you. I will complete the ending of the courtesan and the oil seller later. This is the only one, and Third Uncle will not tell anyone else."
Liu Qi instantly felt the pain on his face go away, and nodded in ecstasy: "Yeah!"
After comforting the poor young man, Liu Ji dusted off his clothes seriously, suppressed his joy, walked slowly to the front of the stage, raised his head and smiled at Qin Yao, "Then I will catch you?"
Qin Yao nodded.
Liu Ji still found it hard to believe that such a good thing could happen. He always felt that the evil woman was biased against him alone and that was why she targeted him everywhere.
So today was so fair that he couldn't help but wonder if she was playing tricks on him again.
Then, the hand that had already reached the mouth of the wooden box suddenly retracted, looked into her eyes again and asked: "Did I really catch it?"
Qin Yao frowned and made an impatient sound through her nose.
Liu Ji was delighted, thinking it seemed to be true, and reached his hand in.
"Whatever you catch will belong to me. They won't be confiscated, right?" Liu Ji asked cautiously again, in case she was just pretending to be fair in front of outsiders.
Qin Yao's patience was always limited. She was already very upset after being doubted by Liu Ji again and again. She couldn't help but yelled, "Do you want it or not? Get out of here!"
Liu Ji let out a long sigh, this was what he wanted.
He quickly grabbed a handful of copper coins, pulled his hand away, and retreated three meters away.
He stretched out the corner of his clothes and put down the copper coins in his hand. A pleasant "clattering" sound was heard. It was estimated that there were more than 200 coins. Liu Ji's mouth corners cracked uncontrollably to the roots of his ears. He looked up to the sky and let out three long "hahaha". He was so happy.
Qin Yao's mouth twitched slightly. She didn't want to see this man who embarrassed her, so she turned sideways and signaled Liu Zhong to prepare to disperse and distribute the New Year gifts.
In the workers' eyes, this year-end summary meeting was about praising, awarding awards and distributing money. There was no lengthy speech by the general manager throughout the whole process, so everyone was immersed in the joy of the harvest.
The atmosphere inside the factory was very good, and the villagers outside the factory were envious.
It’s not bad if someone in your family works in a stationery factory, after all, you can get a share of the New Year gifts brought back by your family.
If no one in the family works in the stationery factory, they would be so jealous that they would be scratching their heads and muttering, "If I had known there were so many benefits, I would have applied for the job right away."
However, the opportunity has been missed. Nowadays, there are more people than jobs for stationery factory workers and the competition is fierce. I don’t know when a job will become vacant.
"The meeting is adjourned!"
With Qin Yao's loud announcement, the stationery factory's first year-end summary meeting came to a successful conclusion.
The village chief and clan leader also received a New Year gift. The two old men enthusiastically urged Qin Yao to come to their home for dinner before the New Year. After Qin Yao agreed, they happily left with the New Year gift.
Liu Dafu also received a portion. To him, these rice, flour, oil and salt were not precious things. What was important was participation. With something in his hands, he would immediately receive countless envious glances.
"My family will slaughter a pig tomorrow. Bring the children to my house to eat the pig-slaughtering dinner." Before leaving, Liu Dafu walked up to the busy Qin Yao and reminded her with a smile.
Qin Yao nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll definitely come."
Liu Dafu nodded, then called his grandchildren who were waiting outside the factory, and left happily.
The workers left the factory one after another, and the managers of each group gathered in front of Qin Yao. Qin Yao arranged their shifts during the annual leave. Each group of two people would work for one day. Whether to be on duty during the day or at night was decided by the group members themselves.
In short, even during holidays, we must always pay attention to the safety of factory property and the feeding of horses.
After everything was arranged and the managers left, Qian Wang packed his bags and set out on the journey home with great anticipation.
It was not until this time that the four brothers and sisters of Dalang, who had been playing outside the factory, ran to their parents.
"Where have you been?" Liu Ji pulled the straw off Si Niang's head, pointed at the yellow mud on her hem, and asked unhappily.
Si Niang hid behind Qin Yao with a guilty conscience and whispered, "I was just catching bugs in the ditch. I was just careless."
Liu Ji was speechless. He had reminded them so many times not to go into the muddy and wet places, but no one listened.
"Okay, then you wash the clothes yourself." Liu Ji said confidently.
He is really a person who doesn't even know how much suffering he has to endure just to clean up this little bit of mud.
Si Niang was also firm and said, "Just wash it yourself." It's no big deal.
Qin Yao raised her hand to signal them to stop arguing, and led the children and Liu Ji to clean up the place.
A family of six returned to the factory, checked the doors and windows, extinguished all sources of fire, confirmed that everything was correct, and locked the door of the stationery factory.
As soon as the workers left, the whole village felt quiet and the sound of birds could be heard coming from the mountains.
Occasionally there were a few vague roars of wild beasts.
Qin Yao looked up at the North Mountain. The top of the mountain was covered with a layer of white snow. The leaves of those tenacious trees had not yet fallen off. The withered yellow color and the white snow complemented each other, forming a bleak winter scene.
Looking at the distant mountains for too long would cause a sense of loneliness. Qin Yao withdrew her gaze and looked at the five fathers and sons playing in front of her.
Liu Ji showed off the 208 coins he had caught. Seeing the children's envious expressions, his vanity was greatly satisfied, and he felt generous and gave each of them a copper coin.
At the same time, he put two of them into Qin Yao's palm.
The whole family should be together!
Erlang felt humiliated, "Father, I wish you would die!" (End of this chapter)
