Chapter 97 Uncle Zhao has a family?

This time, we are using these tangible rewards to give everyone a shot in the arm so that everyone can devote themselves to work more energetically.

The old employees received the bicycles as a recognition of their years of hard work, which made them feel that their dedication was seen and remembered. Naturally, they will continue to exert their remaining energy and teach new employees with greater enthusiasm and ensure the production in the factory.

Although the new employees did not receive the prize this time, it also motivated them to accumulate experience and improve their abilities as quickly as possible so that they can receive praise and rewards like the old employees as soon as possible.

Liu Huawei saw that the atmosphere was about right and clapped his hands, "Okay, then please come up and claim your rewards!"

Several people received their bicycles excitedly and moved. Looking at the brand new and shiny bicycles, they didn't know where to put their hands.

Zhang Huiwan touched the bicycle and felt like she was dreaming. This year they had experienced factory bankruptcy, unemployment, and re-employment. She had even been promoted to a supervisory position, something she had never dared to imagine. Now she was given a bicycle.

No, it was two, because Zhang Youde was also given one. Even though they were husband and wife, they were also two old employees, so both of them got a share this time.

She suppressed her excitement and whispered to Zhang Youde, "We can just ride one bike each, and give the other to our son for him to take to and from school. The wheels on his bike are all crooked, and the chain keeps falling off. It's time to replace it."

Zhang Youde nodded happily, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

They were excited, not just for the bicycles, but more importantly, because their efforts were seen by their leaders, who consoled them in front of so many people, which made them feel proud and honored.

It is impossible for them to say that they have not had any money at all for so many years, but they have children at home, and there will be many places to spend money in the future. They are also afraid of having a headache or fever, so they dare not spend money recklessly.

For example, they can buy a bicycle if they grit their teeth, but they are reluctant to spend money on a new one if they can move.

They sincerely feel that ever since their boss changed to Lin Jianyan, they have been enjoying a good life at work. They never thought they would have such good treatment before, and it is good enough not to be exploited.

Everyone happily received the gifts they deserved, and many people even bent over under the weight of the sacks. It was such a sweet burden.

Wang Azhao finally got home carrying the sack with great effort. Her parents were surprised to see her carrying a sack of food.

After I found out it was a New Year gift from the factory, I was so happy that I didn’t know what to say.

People like Zhang Youde rode their bicycles back home in style, and when the neighbors saw this, they were envious.

Neighbors who don't get along very well with Zhang Youde are still gossiping about them to others, and their jealous faces are really unbearable to look at.

"He must be really rich. He bought two bicycles at once. He really spends money lavishly and doesn't know how to save money at all."

The person who didn't agree with her rolled his eyes and sneered at her: "Didn't you hear what they said? It was given by the factory. When they lost their jobs, you laughed at them. Now you are jealous again. They have lived next door to each other for so many years. How can they not know each other?"

The man choked and said, "Why didn't they accept me when I applied for a job at their factory? I think they got in through the back door."

When she said this, the people around her were speechless. "Don't you see how old you are? You are already over 60 and you can't even read a word. How can they hire you when you can't even meet the basic requirements?"

As soon as this was said, the people around him also echoed, "That's right, if I wasn't illiterate, I would have applied for the job, but I still suffered the loss of being uneducated."

"That's not true. Their factory doesn't care about diplomas. As long as you have the ability, you can still enter the management level. My cousin's youngest son just graduated from elementary school and became a team leader there."

"Really?"

After hearing what she said, everyone ignored the person who made the sarcastic remarks and gathered around her to ask questions.

The man was squeezed and bullied and couldn't stay any longer, so he went home angrily.

Seeing that she finally left, the others rolled their eyes, put her out of their minds and returned to the topic.

…

On New Year's Eve, Lin Jianyan planned to take Qin Wu back to his mother's place to celebrate the New Year.

After the two of them packed up, Lin Jianyan suddenly realized that he hadn't seen Uncle Zhao for a whole day, and asked in confusion: "Where's Uncle Zhao? I don't think I saw him yesterday?"

Qin Wu adjusted his tie in front of the mirror and said, "He went home for the New Year."

Lin Jianyan was surprised and asked, "He has a family?"

Qin Wu was amused by him. "Of course he has a family. He has a wife and a son. But his son and wife are abroad all year round. He spends a lot of time in the villa. They must have come back for the New Year."

Lin Jianyan smiled helplessly: "I thought..."

Qin Wu chuckled: "Do you think he is a lonely man?"

Lin Jianyan nodded helplessly. He was right. Uncle Zhao usually lived in the villa and he had never heard him mention anything about his family. He thought he was the only one there, so he didn't even dare to ask.

Qin Wu couldn't help laughing, and took his hand and walked downstairs, explaining to him: "Uncle Zhao grew up with my parents. After my parents passed away, he became my butler and has been taking care of me. I spend more time with him than with my grandfather. He is like a family member even though he is called a butler."

"His son went to college abroad and settled there after graduation. Uncle Zhao's wife followed him and only came back during the holidays..."

After he said this, Lin Jianyan understood Uncle Zhao better.

This time the two of them went back without taking anyone with them, and Qin Wu acted as both driver and bodyguard.

On New Year's Eve, Zhang Xiufang and her two friends got up early in the morning to clean the house. They cleaned every corner and replaced some new pieces of furniture. After a whole morning of work, the whole house looked brand new.

Lin Jiahao was pasting Spring Festival couplets at the door when he saw Qin Wu and Lin Jianyan coming up. He shouted into the door, "Mom, my brother and Qin Wu are here!"

Zhang Xiufang came out quickly, still holding a rag in her hand. Seeing that the two had weighed a pile of gifts again, she scolded them, "You took so many things again. Last time you took so many gifts, we haven't even finished eating them yet. There's almost no room in the house."

Lin Jianyan smiled, "I can't come here empty-handed. The weather is cool now, and it won't go bad if I leave it for a while."

Zhang Xiufang asked Lin Jiahao to help carry the gifts in, and called the two of them into the house, "Come in and sit down, put the things next to the table, and warm yourself up."
