Starting from the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, the employees of Panlong Garment would carry a few items home on the handlebars or the back seat of their bicycles every day after get off work.
It might be two barrels of oil, or two boxes of frozen ribbonfish. Or maybe a big bag of apples...
In short, they gave out a lot of benefits, and during the ten days leading up to the Lunar New Year, they didn't let any employees go home empty-handed.
All of this was meticulously arranged by Xiao Weiguo.
In order to purchase these welfare items for the employees, the company set up a special purchasing team, which bought a lot of specialties from all over the country, and delivery trucks drove into the factory every day.
Currently, the entire factory only has three to four hundred frontline workers, including temporary workers.
Even if each person receives a welfare payment of 1,000 yuan, it would only cost 300,000 to 400,000 yuan. Xiao Weiguo wouldn't feel the pinch at all.
A thousand yuan in benefits would be almost a year's salary in other factories. What's more, Panlong Garment also gave each employee a thousand yuan year-end bonus in addition to these benefits.
Now, the workers at Panlong Garment Factory walk down the street after work every day with their heads held high and their voices louder than anyone else's.
It's fair to say that if someone in a family works at Panlong Garment, the whole family feels superior.
"Ugh, more stuff is being sent out. I'm almost at the end of my day. It's driving me crazy."
These people, who bring home New Year's benefits every day, inevitably have a friendly chat with their neighbors when they meet.
This aroused both envy and jealousy among the neighbors who worked in state-owned enterprises.
Xiao Weiguo did this to tell everyone that Panlong Garments is the best company in the county, and even in the whole country.
What does such great welfare signify?
This shows that the boss is generous, kind, and conscientious. He doesn't forget his employees after making money.
This is for the company, and also for him personally, to build a positive image.
Xiao Weiguo knew that for a company or a brand to develop more smoothly, the first priority was to establish a good image.
Just like X Donglai and XXX Hotpot in their past lives, that's how they did it.
On the 26th of the lunar year, all schools started their winter break.
Xiao Weiguo's home became lively.
We've discussed it with the old lady, and she'll be spending the Lunar New Year here. We'll invite Liu Changhe and Wang Xiuhong over for the New Year's Eve dinner, and the two families will celebrate the New Year together.
The old lady had long since become inseparable from her children and grandchildren, and her siblings had also gradually become inseparable from her.
However, Liu Ye will definitely go home for the Lunar New Year. Given her status, it would be inappropriate for her to stay in Xiao Wei's country for the New Year.
People in the north all know this custom: a woman who is not yet married cannot spend the Lunar New Year at her husband's home, as it is considered unlucky.
Although reluctant, Xiao Weiguo had no choice but to send her back around the age of twenty-eight or twenty-nine.
After He Ye started his vacation, he visited Liu Ye and Xiao Shanshan more and more frequently.
He Shuang has been sentenced to life imprisonment and will probably never be released. However, He Ye doesn't seem to mind.
Just as Xiao Jian had given up on Xiao Weiguo in her previous life, she had long since given up on her heartless brother.
Whether it was his own sister or his cousin, he showed no mercy. There was no reason for He Ye to have any lingering affection for him.
She felt that Xiao Weiguo had rid her family of a scourge.
Xiao Wei's family home is spacious, and everyone there is very peaceful. He Ye really likes this environment.
In this way, she, Liu Ye, and Xiao Shanshan, three girls of similar age, formed a small group and became almost inseparable.
The happiest children during this winter vacation were undoubtedly Xiao Jiang and Xiao Yue.
After about six months of recuperation, the two children have long since shed their fear and the cautious lifestyle that stemmed from their inferiority complex.
Spoiled by her grandmother, she gradually became more and more lively. The most frequent sound in the courtyard was their laughter.
On the 28th of the year, Panlong Apparel held its first shareholders' dividend meeting.
This meeting was conducted in an internal, confidential manner to protect the privacy of shareholders.
Feng Wanlin was specially summoned back from the provincial capital to participate in this profit-sharing event.
Finally, like Wang Xiuhong, she received nearly a million yuan in dividends in the first year from her 5% stake.
Even those who held only one percent of the shares each received nearly 200,000.
Two hundred thousand yuan—in the eyes of people in this era, that's enough for a person to live comfortably for half a lifetime.
When we first got these shares, nobody took it seriously. Looking back now, we realize how ignorant we were.
No wonder Xiao Weiguo kept it a secret; such a large sum of money would make many people envious.
The factory workers have already been given a holiday, with only a small number of staff members assigned to stay and guard the warehouse and factory area.
Xiao Weiguo and Feng Wanlin strolled through the deserted factory, chatting as they walked.
Fine snowflakes drifted down from the sky, and the ground seemed to be covered with a thin layer of frost.
Are you going back to Beijing for the New Year?
Xiao Weiguo put his hands in his trench coat pockets and walked slowly with Feng Wanlin.
"Um."
Feng Wanlin took a train ticket out of her pocket and waved it at Xiao Weiguo.
"My train leaves this afternoon, it'll be gone soon."
"I'll take you to the train station."
Feng Wanlin nodded.
This time, the two became closer, but there seemed to be a barrier between them, and many things were inconvenient to say. Xiao Weiguo didn't know why.
"Is Liu Ye spending the New Year at your house?"
Feng Wanlin suddenly asked a question.
Xiao Weiguo was taken aback, not understanding why she suddenly said that.
