Chapter 393: Red Envelopes for the Start of Work
The opening date of Xinsheng and Zhisheng's new factory was chosen to be July 14th, the eighth day of the sixth lunar month, which is auspicious for making money, opening a business, installing machinery, moving into a new house...all of which are auspicious.
Zhou Huaiyi laughed: "People who usually trip ghosts with their legs believe this."
Huang Ling replied: "As long as everyone cares and believes in it, that's all that matters."
Zhou Huaiyi couldn't help but admire her, as she had everyone under her control.
At this time, an old bed sheet was spread on the bed, and two people were sitting cross-legged, with a stack of red envelopes on each of their legs and banknotes of various denominations scattered around them.
"But, regarding the red envelope issue, can we ask some quick-handed sisters or students from the garment factory to help?" Zhou Huaiyi asked, holding up the crisp new banknotes in one hand and the red envelope in the other.
"Deputy Director Zhou, look, the two of us are sitting on the bed, wrapping red envelopes and chatting. How wonderful! It's rare for us to have time to spend together like this!" Huang Ling also shook the money and red envelopes in her hand.
Zhou Huaiyi smiled and nodded, okay, okay, you have me under your control anyway.
He thought of something and asked again: "Huh...it seems familiar...red envelopes...random amounts...why do I feel like I've heard of this somewhere..."
Huang Ling immediately denied it: "Impossible! Who would have such a novel idea like mine?"
"Wait a minute, let me think... I seem to have heard you say that the boss was so generous and you grabbed a lot of big red envelopes, all with different amounts. But the boss's son was so stingy, he only gave out one cent per person!"
"Ah!" Huang Ling completely forgot about this.
"When you were drunk, you were so angry. Then I comforted you and said I would prepare the biggest and thickest red envelope for you during the New Year. That's why you stopped scolding me. I don't quite understand what the words you used to scold him came from..."
"Suck." Huang Ling blurted out.
"Yes, this is what it means." Zhou Huaiyi slapped his thigh.
"It's...it's nothing. Let's just talk about what I said when I was drunk that day..." Huang Ling asked.
The next day after getting drunk, she lost all memory and only knew that she was drunk. She had headaches and stomachaches for several days. Zhou Huaiyi was extremely worried and never mentioned the nonsense.
"You mumbled a lot, some of which I heard clearly, some not. I still had to wipe your face, rinse your mouth, feed you water and medicine, and change your clothes. You kept talking, and I just hummed and ahed in response. If I heard clearly, I would answer you, and if I didn't, forget it. At least you didn't scold me."
"Oh, you're talking nonsense when you're drunk!"
"Yes, it's all about politics, economics, foreign languages, whatever. Anyway, I'm busy with you."
"Thank you for taking care of me."
"I'm not tired, but please don't drink too much in the future. I feel bad that you'll have a headache and stomach upset for several days."
"Okay, I won't drink anymore from now on." Huang Ling felt a bead of sweat on her back. Why would he say anything when he was drunk? He must not dare to drink anymore.
She lowered her head and continued to wrap the red envelope. Zhou Huaiyi did not move. He looked at Huang Ling and gave a faint smile.
"I'll give it a one-cent prize, haha!" Huang Ling soon became happy again.
"Then I'll give you a big unity!" Zhou Huaiyi said as he stuffed a ten-yuan bill into the red envelope.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Deputy Director Zhou is so generous!"
"Director Huang is so generous! I'll pack them all up soon and I want to pick one first!"
"OK."
The two finally wrapped all the red envelopes and put them in a big cardboard box.
"Deputy Director Zhou, please, you take the first draw!"
Zhou Huaiyi reached into the pile of red envelopes, stirred them, pulled out one, took a deep breath, and then opened it.
One point.
Huang Ling laughed so hard that she fell on Zhou Huaiyi's legs and almost choked.
On the day of the meal, a large cardboard box was placed at the entrance of Suihua Building. There was a round hole on the top of the box, just big enough for an arm to fit in. Everyone had to quickly take out a red envelope.
The amount of money in the red envelopes is different, the highest is thirty yuan, and the lowest is only one cent.
You don't need to feel the thickness. The thick one may be a stack of one point, and the thin one may be a big unity.
Because of this game, the atmosphere was already heated before the meal even started.
The constant greetings in the entire restaurant were "How much is it?", and then there was a large-scale "fighting and kicking" scene. Those who were beaten were willing to do so because they must have received large red envelopes.
Xiaoting, Pengfei and Dongzhe also got one each.
Xiao Ting felt the thickness of the red envelope in her hand and frowned, "Based on my understanding of my mother, this thickness must be an illusion."
Dongzhe snatched the red envelope from her hand and stuffed his own into her hand:
"Then take this of mine, Bo."
Pengfei suggested: "It's okay, the three of us can just open the red envelopes and divide them equally."
Xiaoting and Dongzhe both laughed and nodded.
Three people opened the red envelopes at the same time.
Xiaoting has two pieces in her hand.
Pengfei has five yuan in his hand.
As expected, Xiaoting guessed correctly about the one in Dongzhe's hand. It was worth ten cents each, a total of one cent.
Everyone had a lively lunch together. They were full of anticipation and enthusiasm for the factory.
After dinner, everyone left one after another. Huang Ling asked Dongzhe to help send Xiaoting back first, and she sat in the tea room.
Zhu Xiu Yu arranged for the waiter to clean up the place, and only when she passed by the tea room did she realize that Huang Ling had not left.
"A Ling, I thought you were gone."
"You can't just eat and leave!"
Huang Ling pushed a cup of tea to her and Zhu Xiu Yu sat down to drink it.
"The dishes are getting better and better, the desserts are also good, especially the service. It seems that the training this month was very effective." Huang Ling praised.
"You stayed just to praise me!"
"Well done, you must be commended. I just glanced at the food storage list, and the expensive ingredients I bought earlier that were almost inedible have already been used up. What kind of person is this? I was almost going to ask you to make some brain supplements for the children."
"All our children have good brains and don't need any supplements. I supplemented the brains of Wu Jianguo's family."
"ha!"
Huang Ling twitched the corner of her mouth.
The melon is coming.
"Tell me quickly, what's the matter."
Zhu Xiuyu told Huang Ling the story slowly and calmly.
The dishes they are trying to persuade people to eat are all dishes that did not sell well after being developed. The expensive ingredients are bought but no one eats them, so they will just sit there anyway. Since they want to save face, just give them dishes that can save face.
Huang Ling almost died of laughter: "You are awesome."
Zhu Xiuyu sneered, "You didn't see them like that. If I weren't the manager of Suihua Building, I would have slapped them. We also work with our own hands, and we're no less capable than them."
"I really should thank you, but Zhang Min is not stupid. She will find his problem soon." Huang Ling is good at judging people.
"She has nothing to do with me. I'm not doing this for her. I just want to use up those materials. I can't waste them."
"Aren't you afraid of Zhang Amei making trouble?"
"I'm not afraid. I've clearly marked the price. What can I do if you want some? As the saying goes, it's hard to persuade a damned devil with good words. How could I have known that such a wealthy son-in-law couldn't pay? Besides, we are so familiar with the Wu family, so if you don't want to take the ten dollars, then don't take it." Zhu Xiu Yu looked her usual self, gentle and kind.
"It's a good thing we do this. This liar will probably go to another restaurant and won't dare to come here again." Huang Ling knew Zhu Xiu Yu.
Seeing that Huang Ling understood her, Zhu Xiuyu smiled and nodded.
"Our Sister Yu really killed three birds with one stone! She used the ingredients, helped Zhang Min, and stopped the scammer from cheating in our Suihualou in the future!" Huang Ling praised again.
