"Those whose names are called, come forward first to collect your pay slips. After verifying that everything is correct, collect your money. Then, according to your bonus slips, collect your prizes from me and Factory Manager Guan! Does everyone understand?"
The workers exclaimed in unison, laughter mingling among them, "We understand!"
"Good! First one!" Lei Yongkang looked down at the list. "Zhang Dawen! Team leader, you led the team on three long-distance trips this month, completed the tasks beautifully, and even saved fuel! Your salary will be paid as usual, plus an extra ten yuan bonus! And ten jin of flour!"
A murmur of envy and admiration rippled through the crowd.
Zhang Dawen, his face flushed, stepped forward, first taking the wages handed to him by the accountant, carefully counting them, and then cautiously putting them into his pocket. He then walked up to Guan Wenru and said, "Thank you, Factory Director! Thank you, Deputy Factory Director!"
Guan Wenru smiled and handed him a small bag of noodles. "Captain Zhang, you've worked hard. This is what you deserve. Next time you're on a trip, safety comes first!"
Zhang Dawen: "Yes! I guarantee I'll complete the task! Thank you, factory manager!"
Lei Yongkang smiled and said, "Next up, Hua Xiaoyu! High production efficiency, and she even took the initiative to help new colleagues get familiar with the process! Eight yuan bonus! Five jin of soybean oil!"
Hua Xiaoyu ran up happily, quickly collected the money and oil, and said, "Thank you, leaders! Our factory is getting better and better, and we have more energy to work! Director Guan, Deputy Director Lei, you are both excellent leaders!"
Guan Wenru handed over the oil bottle, saying, "You did a great job, keep it up!"
Lei Yongkang: "Master Wang! Your technical oversight is strict, resulting in the lowest machine failure rate this month! You'll get a bonus of seven yuan and eight jin of rice!"
Master Wang, an honest and simple old worker, rubbed his hands together as he stepped forward, grinning from ear to ear.
"Oh dear, this... this is all I should do, and the factory is even giving me so many rewards... I can't accept this..."
Guan Wenru smiled and handed him the bag of rice. "Master Wang, your skills are the treasure of our factory. It's only right! Take this and steam some white rice for your grandson!"
Master Wang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes! Thank you, thank you, Director Guan!"
The distribution continued, with people constantly coming up to receive money and goods, each with a genuine smile on their face.
Everyone kept saying words of gratitude, and the atmosphere was as lively as during the Chinese New Year.
Sister Li received five yuan and a pound of oil, and exclaimed loudly, "Our factory is truly amazing! Our lives are getting better and better! I never dared to imagine that I could earn several yuan more a month, and even bring home rice and oil!"
Another young worker nodded repeatedly, "That's right! Working under Director Guan and Deputy Director Lei gives me peace of mind and a sense of motivation!"
Finally, the last worker received his bonus.
Guan Wenru and Lei Yongkang exchanged a smile.
Guan Wenru stepped forward and stood at the front of the line. The workers gradually quieted down and all their eyes were focused on her.
Her gaze swept across every face present, her voice clear and firm, "Comrades! Have you all received your wages and bonuses for today?"
The workers cheered, "We got it! Thank you, factory manager!"
With a smile on her face, Guan Wenru raised her hand to signal everyone to be quiet. "No need to thank me, and no need to thank Deputy Factory Director Lei. If you want to thank someone, thank yourselves for your hard work and sweat over the past month! Every penny of profit in the factory is earned by everyone with their own hands!"
The workers listened quietly, their eyes filled with eager anticipation.
"Our factory's principle is that the more you work, the more you earn. If you are capable and willing to work hard, you won't be treated unfairly! As long as we all work together with one mind and one goal, improve production, and ensure quality, our factory's profits will only get better and better! Then, our wages will increase, and we'll get even more bonuses! Life will become more and more prosperous!"
Lei Yongkang led the applause, "The factory director is right!"
The workers erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers, "Great! Don't worry, factory manager! We'll definitely work hard!"
Guan Wenru smiled and nodded, "Alright! Enough with the chit-chat, everyone get back to your posts and get back to work! Let's work hard for our better days!"
The workers shouted in unison, "Go for it!"
The crowd dispersed amidst laughter and cheerful chatter, each person walking briskly and full of energy.
Sunlight streamed into the factory yard, creating a vibrant and lively atmosphere.
Just then, Guan Wenru noticed the man not far away and was slightly stunned.
