Liu Ping, who was sitting downstairs, had already changed her clothes and was waiting for Xia Yingying to come down. She wanted to accompany her to the mine, and she was a little worried about letting Xia Yingying go by herself.
After all, some of those miners were a bit troublesome, and she was afraid that Xia Yingying wouldn't be able to handle them. Now that Chen Feng and his son weren't home, Liu Ping would definitely go with her.
When Xia Yingying came downstairs in her high heels, Liu Ping subconsciously turned around and was immediately stunned.
Is this... still her gentle, lovely, and cheerful daughter-in-law?
Wearing a long dress and black high heels, her face was delicate and aloof, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.
At first glance, even Liu Ping seemed somewhat unfamiliar with the place.
"Girl, what's wrong with your outfit?" Liu Ping couldn't help but ask.
"Aren't we going to get paid? Let's go, Auntie," Xia Yingying said with a smile.
Seeing Xia Yingying smile brought back that familiar feeling, and Liu Ping breathed a slight sigh of relief. Just now, Xia Yingying's powerful aura had even made Liu Ping feel a bit of pressure.
What's going on with my wife?
Liu Ping was completely confused at this moment, mainly because Xia Yingying's changes were too drastic, she didn't seem like a human being at all.
After they finished getting ready, a car came to pick them up at the door. When the driver saw Xia Yingying get into the car, he stared at her and looked in the rearview mirror several times. He couldn't believe who she was.
The problem is that he hadn't seen Xia Yingying much to begin with, and now that she's changed so much, he's even less likely to recognize her. He doesn't even have the courage to ask Liu Ping; he'll just have to ask someone else later.
Xia Yingying remained calm until they arrived at the mine. Zheng Ping had already prepared a small table for her at the construction site, just waiting for her to arrive.
The workers gathered together, chatting idly in twos and threes, waiting to receive their wages.
As soon as the van entered the area, they instinctively looked over. When Xia Yingying and Liu Ping got out of the van, even Zheng Ping and Yin Xing, who were familiar with Xia Yingying, were stunned and full of surprise.
At first, they didn't even dare to recognize whether it was Xia Yingying.
"Old Zheng, who is this? He looks so familiar, so much like Xia Yingying!" Yin Xing said incredulously.
"Who else could it be but Xia Yingying?" Zheng Ping glanced at her several times before daring to recognize her as she got closer.
"You're here, Xia Yingying," Zheng Ping greeted her. To be honest, he didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a little nervous.
"Hmm, have you told them everything?" Xia Yingying came to the table and pulled a chair aside.
She wasn't planning on sitting down; she'd be standing to receive her salary today.
"Yes, that's all." Zheng Ping nodded.
When the people at the mine saw Xia Yingying, they all whispered among themselves, and even their voices were much quieter than before.
"Who is this person? I've never seen him before."
"It seems she is Chen Feng's wife. I've only heard about it, and this is the first time I've seen her in person."
"She's really good-looking, but the thing is, I feel like she's a little scary."
"Yeah, I'm a little scared too. They look like they're not to be messed with."
"Okay, now that everyone knows the situation, let's begin." Xia Yingying put her phone on the table, picked up the blue folder, and started taking attendance from the attendance sheet.
"Wang Qi."
"Hey, I'm here." Upon hearing the voice, Wang Qi quickly raised his hand and walked over, standing in front of Xia Yingying.
"Thirty days of attendance, full attendance, basic salary of 1200; two days without rest, add 180; full attendance, add 200; ten night shifts, add 200."
"The total is 1,780. Do you have any questions?" Xia Yingying looked up at him after reading the total.
"No, no, it's exactly right." Wang Qi nodded quickly upon hearing this.
The salary is exactly as he calculated; it's exactly this much.
"Take out your phone and open the QR code for payment," Xia Yingying said, holding up her phone.
"Hey." Upon hearing this, Wang Qi quickly took out his phone and opened the payment QR code.
Xia Yingying didn't say anything, but simply scanned his salary.
"Received it, thank you boss, thank you boss." Wang Qi couldn't stop smiling as he looked at the nearly two thousand yuan extra in his phone.
Knowing how much money you need to spend is one thing, but actually getting the money in your hands is another.
To be honest, when he calculated his own salary before, he was shocked and couldn't believe it.
That's 1,800 yuan a month! That's way too much. Is there really such a good thing? He was even prepared for them to delay paying his wages.
After all, construction sites don't usually pay wages on the first payday. Holding you back for two months is considered fast. They'll find all sorts of reasons to deduct some money from your wages, which isn't unusual.
To his utter surprise, not only did he receive his salary on time, but it was exactly the same amount he was owed. How could he not be overjoyed?
When the other workers saw that Wang Qi had paid their wages, they were all overjoyed and eagerly waited for their names to be called on their phones.
"Next, Li Ji."
And so, more than twenty people were paid their salaries in a row. Then the next person was Changzhou, a young man in his twenties.
Changzhou.
Xia Yingying spoke calmly.
The young man named Changzhou walked over, rubbed his nose, and waited for his salary.
"After clocking in for 26 days, subtracting two days of rest and two days' pay, the basic salary is 1,120. Eight night shifts cost 160, so there's no perfect attendance. The total is 1,280. Is there a problem?" Xia Yingying asked without even looking up.
"Yes, why does everyone else have perfect attendance, but I don't?" Changzhou said, unconvinced.
Hearing this, Xia Yingying looked up at him, put down the folder, and said calmly, "The perfect attendance bonus is for people who have perfect attendance. You were absent for two days last month, so why should you get the perfect attendance bonus?"
"Well, I just had something come up at home, only for two days. Can't you make an exception? How can you be so heartless? Everyone has their own problems sometimes," Changzhou said, glaring at Xia Yingying as if she were being unreasonable.
"If you can get a perfect attendance bonus even if you're absent, then what's the point of the perfect attendance bonus?"
"What does your absence have to do with others? Absence is absence, that's the rule," Xia Yingying said coldly.
"I've been here for the first half of the month, so at least give me half of my full attendance bonus, okay? How can you not give me any at all? This is unreasonable!" Changzhou said, slamming his hand on the table, about to start a fuss.
Seeing this, Zheng Ping and his group moved closer to Huang Mao, their expressions unfriendly.
However, they couldn't intervene until things went too far in Changzhou. After all, it was a wage dispute, and Xia Yingying was the boss's wife; they didn't have the authority to make decisions.
"I said, absence means no perfect attendance bonus. Don't you understand me? Stop throwing a tantrum. Rules are rules. If I say no, then no." Xia Yingying said firmly.
