With the Lunar New Year just a few days away, the inn is getting dwindling in number, much quieter than its usual bustling state.
During the time An Ge was away, the inn held another recruitment drive, and many people came from outside Huaixi City in order to find a job at the inn.
Both the amusement park and the library are now staffed and ready to open to the public at any time, awaiting only An Ge's approval. After discussing it with Hu Jiu, An Ge decided to wait until after the New Year to open them.
The New Year in my previous life was close to the New Year in this world. After the Little New Year, red lanterns were hung in the inn, and the atmosphere of the New Year was everywhere.
Wu Ziyue and others rehearsed even harder, striving to present a wonderful performance to everyone on New Year's Eve.
Their performance troupe has now expanded. After the last performance, some villagers found enjoyment in it and joined the troupe after passing the assessment.
Another significant portion consists of opera troupes or folk artists who travel long distances to come after hearing about the troupe's recruitment announcement, and this group is constantly growing.
An Ge only provided some ideas for the development of the performance troupe, but unexpectedly, under Hua Su's leadership, the development has been so rapid. In just over half a month, the troupe has already presented two wonderful performances and earned a considerable income.
To allow employees to get better rest, Ango issued a notice well in advance of the Chinese New Year. During the holiday, in addition to the supermarket which will still sell some essential daily necessities, all other attractions will be closed in advance, and room service will also be suspended.
Many employees, including some long-term employees, did not understand this.
"Why are you on such a long holiday? Actually, our work isn't tiring at all. I'd really not be used to not working."
"During the Spring Festival, only the supermarket and guesthouses need some staff. I heard they will receive triple pay, which is great."
"Your son Haizi got married this year and built a new brick house, so how could you possibly be short of money?"
"Hehe, who would complain about having too much money?"
A new employee asked with some concern, "I heard the store manager is going to give us at least two weeks off, and we'll still get paid during that time. I'm a little uneasy about it." They simply couldn't believe that such a good thing could exist in the world.
The veteran employees were much calmer about this, saying, "You guys are new here, right? The inn's benefits have always been good. We also had a day off for New Year's Day. The manager said it was paid leave."
When the topic of benefits came up, someone said mysteriously, "I heard that the store manager will give us a year-end bonus during the Spring Festival."
"Who said that?"
"That's what Zhu Zi's husband said. You know that Xiuniang is almost a head chef now. She has good relationships with some high-ranking people and gets some information before we do."
Mentioning Zhu Zi, they couldn't help but feel a little envious. Ever since the inn started hiring, Xiuniang had become the pillar of the family with her excellent skills, earning almost as much as three people.
Moreover, Zhu Zi is now working at the inn. After soaking in the holy spring a few times, he thought his crippled leg could finally walk again. Apart from walking faster and still having a slight limp, there was no noticeable problem normally.
They used to be the poorest family in the village, but now they are living a very comfortable life.
Although they were envious, they didn't have any ill intentions. After all, they were doing quite well themselves.
The conversation then turned to year-end bonuses, with some asking curiously, "What does year-end bonus mean?"
The man shook his head. "I don't know, but it's a good thing anyway, let's just wait and see." New words often appeared in the inn, and they were used to not investigating them too much, since they would find out sooner or later anyway.
The new employees were overjoyed to see everyone discussing so enthusiastically. Choosing to leave their hometown and come to the inn to make a living was the best decision they had ever made.
Soon, the year-end bonus that everyone had been waiting for was finally revealed.
"Goodness, rice, flour, oil, meat, how come there's so much stuff? Our family doesn't need to buy any New Year's goods."
"What's this? Did you see the red envelopes they're holding? I just asked, and there's two months' salary in them."
This statement immediately sparked discussion among the crowd: "Is this an advance payment of our salaries?"
"No, no, it's a bonus equivalent to two months' salary. That's why it's called a year-end bonus."
"Huh? Is there really such a good thing?" The new employee was a little skeptical. The previous paid leave had already seemed unbelievable to them.
The veteran employee gave him a look that said, "You're really ignorant," completely forgetting that he was just as shocked. "I've always said the inn has good benefits, what's the big deal?"
The new employees were still a little dazed when they saw the red envelopes in their hands.
They've been here for half a month and haven't done much, so how did they suddenly receive so much money?
When they came to their senses, some of the employees squatted on the ground and couldn't help but wipe away their tears. Many of them had come from families that had suffered disasters this year, and they had no choice but to come to the inn with a try-it-out mentality. They never expected that they would earn money they never dared to dream of before in just a few days.
Some of the older employees looked at them silently, patting them on the shoulder reassuringly. Although they were now considered well-off, just a few months ago, they were in the same boat as these people.
With the New Year just days away, employees who lived far away packed their bags and left the inn. Villagers living nearby also began preparing for the New Year.
On the border of the Daye Kingdom, this place is even more barren than Huaixi City. Although the war is over, due to climate and other reasons, the villagers here almost all live a life of hunger.
Since the Immortal's Fate Inn opened, their place has seen some vitality, but it's only slightly better than before. Many young people, upon hearing that the Immortal's Fate Inn was hiring, gritted their teeth and decided to give it a try.
