Chapter 479 Handing over work and preparing to go home for the New Year
The meal ended with everyone still feeling reluctant to leave. The dinner party came to an end, and Lin Siqiao and his friends also had to pack up and prepare to go home for the New Year.
Lu Jianchuan's home visit leave is 20 days, and the round-trip travel time is 7 days. Because his injury this time was quite serious, the military district specially approved 10 days of leave for him to recuperate.
Lin Siqiao also has to wait until the end of the first month of the year before reporting to work, so this annual leave is relatively sufficient.
Even though the Spring Festival is approaching, train tickets are still as hard to buy as ever. Lin Siqiao doesn't want to go through the trouble anymore. Anyway, the price of a soft sleeper train ticket is about the same as that of an air ticket, so he might as well just book a ticket directly, which is faster.
The day before Lin Siqiao returned to Shanghai on his flight from Beijing to Shanghai, he went to the Friendship Store.
It was no secret in Beijing that Lin Siqiao joined two ministries. Director Hu knew about it two days ago.
To be honest, he didn't sleep well these two days.
This time, he finally understood what Director Zhong felt back then.
But he couldn't bear to let go. On this point, he and Director Zhong actually had the same starting point. As long as it was for the contribution to the country, it didn't matter which position he took.
"Xiaolin, congratulations."
Director Hu congratulated Lin Siqiao from the bottom of his heart.
“Although you will no longer work at the Friendship Store, you will always be a part of it. Come back and visit us often when you have time.”
Lin Siqiao nodded. Of course she would come back.
Because she came here this time just to hand over the work of the restaurant in the embassy area.
The restaurant's business has stabilized in recent years, and it's time for Assistant Wu to officially take over.
As for the business in the customization and clothing areas, Lin Siqiao had no intention of giving them up from the beginning to the end.
Director Hu was stunned by this surprise. "Xiao...Xiao Lin, you are not kidding me, are you?"
Lin Siqiao smiled and let him put his heart at ease.
However, there are some things she needs to warn Director Hu about in advance.
That is, when Huaxing Group moves back to Beijing, these two projects will be merged into Huaxing.
Of course, the existing stores and revenue, whether now or in the future, will still belong to Friendship Stores.
Lin Siqiao is eyeing two pieces of "cake": the untapped markets in other cities and overseas.
In addition, the design of clothing and the creativity of the customization area will all be handled by Huaxing’s designers.
Director Hu understood what she meant. Huaqiao was a clothing brand founded by Xiaolin himself. If it weren't for Xiaolin, they wouldn't have been able to get a share of the money from the customization area.
In fact, the restaurant business in the embassy district has been pretty good in recent years, but Kobayashi took the initiative to give up the position without even mentioning this matter.
He has to accept this favor.
To put it another way, joining Huaxing Group would be a good thing for them.
Director Hu still understands the principle that it is good to lean on a big tree for shade.
Director Hu reported the matter to his superiors on the same day.
The commerce department was also very quick, sending someone to deliver the contract in less than two hours.
Once the contract was signed, both parties felt relieved.
Knowing that Lin Siqiao had other things to do, Director Hu did not keep her for long. He just reminded her before she left not to forget to go to the finance office to settle her salary and bonus for the past two years.
If Director Hu hadn't mentioned this, Lin Siqiao would have really forgotten about it.
Yes, she was sent abroad to study by the government, and during that time, her salary and benefits should be given to her by the company without any deduction.
Lin Siqiao's basic monthly salary is 110 yuan and 5 cents, which is a total of 3,315 yuan.
The total cash discount for the various benefits over the past two and a half years is 286 yuan.
In the end, the biggest part was the bonus from the clothing and restaurant business. Lin Siqiao looked at the report provided by the finance department.
In two and a half years, these two stores generated a total net profit of nearly 700,000 Chinese yuan for Friendship Store.
According to the previous contract, Lin Siqiao took 20% of the price difference for jewelry products, and 10% of the net profit for catering and clothing.
For this item alone, Lin Siqiao received a bonus of more than 70,000 yuan.
It would be troublesome for Lin Siqiao to take back such a large amount of money. After discussing with the finance department, Lin Siqiao took the few thousand yuan left and asked the finance department to help remit the rest to Shanghai.
As for the 200,000 Chinese yuan given by the organization, Lin Siqiao also took it all out that afternoon.
Half of the money was kept in the space for reserve, and the other half was also remitted to the Shanghai Stock Exchange. She planned to use all the money to invest in real estate.
Speaking of houses, Lin Siqiao remembered something.
After dinner in the evening, when the two of them lay down in bed, Lin Siqiao turned over and hugged Lu Jianchuan's waist.
"Lu Jianchuan, after the New Year, let's buy another house in Beijing."
Lin Siqiao was quite satisfied with the house at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in every aspect. The only drawback was that the house was a little small.
It's ok for the two of them to live here now, but if they have kids in the future, there won't be any room for their parents-in-law to come and stay.
Another point is that she is used to living in a big house, and now that conditions permit, Lin Siqiao doesn't want to put herself in a difficult position.
Lu Jianchuan nodded and had no objection to this.
In fact, even if Lin Siqiao didn't say it, he had already had this idea.
What Lu Jianchuan was considering was not whether there was enough space to live there, but the fact that the Chinese Academy of Sciences was dozens of miles away from where she worked, and it would take an hour or two even by car.
Having a child was a tacit agreement reached between the couple early on.
Lu Jianchuan couldn't bear to let her drive to and from get off work every day with her big belly.
So as early as the end of September last year, he had already started to do this.
Patting her back a few times, Lu Jianchuan said, "I've asked my comrades to inquire about the house. I'll ask again after the New Year."
Lin Siqiao was surprised. "You've asked someone to find out? When did it happen? How come I don't know anything about it?"
Lu Jianchuan smiled and said, "I've been asking about it for a while. I wanted to wait until I found the right one before telling you, but I didn't expect you to ask today."
Lin Siqiao didn't ask him what kind of house he was looking for.
She was very confident in Lu Jianchuan's work.
But there has been no news for such a long time, Lin Siqiao guessed that the progress should not be very smooth.
What she didn't know was that it wasn't difficult to find a house. After all, Lu Jianchuan's comrades were all born and raised in Beijing, and after retiring from the army, they joined the Beijing Public Security Bureau, so it was not difficult for them to find a house.
But Lu Jianchuan has too many restrictions.
They don’t want houses with unclear property rights, houses with tenants, houses that are too dilapidated, and they also specify that they must be near the Third Ring Road and the closer to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the better.
They had helped find several houses before, but after Lu Jianchuan saw that house, he just shook his head.
He himself is not even suitable, let alone a wife.
"Don't worry, wife, we will definitely find a suitable house."
Lu Jianchuan tucked in the quilt for her and comforted her, "Go to sleep. You have to catch a flight early tomorrow morning."
Lin Siqiao nodded. Since Lu Jianchuan took care of the house matters, she was happy to be a hands-off boss.
