"Don't worry about others. There are restaurants opening one after another outside these days. Just focus on doing your own thing."
By the way, what are your plans for Yangyang's wedding?
"Hehe," Xu Damao chuckled and said, "The second thing I came here for today is to tell you this. The date has been set, June 22nd, the Dragon Boat Festival. I had someone specifically choose this date."
The idea Li Chu gave him was brilliant. When he went to talk to the girl's family again the second time, he mentioned the idea to her brother, and they readily agreed.
Her family wasn't stupid either; they could tell right from wrong. What the man's family was saying was clearly a long-term solution.
"As long as the date is set, the factory should be allocating new housing by now, right?"
"We've separated, and all the furniture and stuff is ready. We're just waiting for the wedding." Xu Damao was beaming with joy as he talked about his son's upcoming wedding.
Xu Yang and his girlfriend are both technicians. Although they have only been working at the factory for less than two years, they have a higher starting point than ordinary workers, so it is normal for them to be allocated housing.
"Congratulations! Our whole family will come to your son's wedding banquet."
"Absolutely, you can't afford not to come."
After saying that, Xu Damao checked the time, then stood up: "Alright, Brother Chu, I can't chat with you anymore. I have to go back to the hotel and keep an eye on things. You really don't want that air conditioner?"
"Really, don't want it anymore. You can have it installed at the restaurant."
"Alright, I'll head over now."
"Hey Da Mao, we've been friends for over twenty years. I know you've met a lot of people over the years running your restaurant, but whatever you do, you have to think it through carefully. You have elderly parents and young children to support, and you'll probably be holding your grandchildren in a year or two. Please, please don't make the wrong choice."
Love reading
Hearing Li Chu's words, Xu Damao was deeply moved. Only someone who truly considers you a friend would say so much. In ordinary relationships, people wouldn't care whether you live or die.
"Don't worry, Brother Chu, I understand."
"Okay, please give my regards to your parents and Uncle Lou and Aunt Lou when you get back."
"Thank you so much!"
"Let's go, I'll see you off!"
After dropping him off at the bottom of the building, Xu Damao refused to let him go any further. Watching his retreating figure, Li Chu sighed softly.
This guy is really resourceful; he can get things done through any means necessary. He managed to get thirty air conditioners in one go. I don't know what the person he contacted does, but he must have a very strong background, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to issue a formal invoice.
"What are you doing standing here? Oh? Isn't that Xu Damao?"
While I was still in a daze, I heard my wife's voice behind me.
"Yeah, he just came over to talk to me about something. Xu Yang's wedding is set for the Dragon Boat Festival."
Li Chu turned to look at his wife and said.
"So fast! I'll go see Xiao'e later and see if she needs any help. Let's go to my office, don't block the way at the door."
As soon as she entered the office, Ding Qiunan proudly pulled two envelopes from her bag.
"Ta-da! Look what this is..."
"What is it?" Li Chu looked curiously at the two thick envelopes in her hand.
Who wrote you love letters?
"Go away, you can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth. What nonsense are you spouting? You're fifty years old, how can you still be talking nonsense?" Ding Qiunan rolled her eyes at her husband.
"Oh, honey, don't be angry. I was just joking. Besides, it's normal for someone to write you love letters. After all, my wife is so young and beautiful."
"Hehe, if you're so good at talking, then talk more. Come on, keep praising me. If you don't make me happy today, see how I deal with you when we get back."
"Huh? Honey, please spare me!" Upon hearing this request, Li Chu's face immediately fell.
"Hmph~ Don't talk nonsense again."
"Yes, ma'am. I promise I won't say anything more."
Ding Qiunan waved the envelope in her hand and said, "This is my salary. I'm taking this month's salary. Starting this month, my salary has increased."
"You're not going to tell me you also took your salary from the Health Bureau, are you?" Li Chu asked, pointing to the envelope in her hand with some surprise.
"Of course I received it, otherwise why would there be two envelopes?"
As she spoke, she opened one of the envelopes: "This is the allowance from the Health Bureau, one thousand."
Then she opened another envelope and said, "This is our hospital salary, we'll keep it together."
Li Chu took the envelope from his wife, glanced at it, and then casually handed it back: "How much is the salary at the hospital?"
“Hmm~ Let me think. My salary is 296.4 yuan, and your salary is 935.5 yuan.” After saying that, Ding Qiunan stuck out her tongue: “Your salary has increased a lot, while mine has only increased by 100 yuan.”
"Pretty much. My salary mainly increased due to the increase in technical grade pay, while my position-based salary only increased by about 100 yuan."
"Oh, right," Ding Qiunan took out two more envelopes from her bag: "These are Wenxuan and Wenhui's wages. When I went there, I saw that they hadn't collected them, so I collected them for them."
"It's okay, we can give it to them when we get back tonight."
"Okay, you can collect your stipend from the department yourself. Consider it your little savings, but be careful with it."
Li Chu asked, somewhat amused and exasperated, "When did you go to the Health Bureau? How come I didn't know? Since you were already there, why didn't you just turn the corner and collect the hundred yuan too?"
“When I arrived, you were teaching three children. I had forgotten about the department's money, so I left it for you as pocket money.” Ding Qiunan waved her hand generously.
Then she glanced at the time: "I can't talk to you anymore, the bank across the street is about to close, I need to hurry over and deposit the money."
With that, she put the envelope back into her handbag and walked out of the office.
"Remember to close the door when you come out."
"Hey, don't save the kids' money too."
"No, don't worry."
Watching her rush out in a panic, Li Chu shook his head with amusement. His wife was always the most eager to deposit money at the bank.
I bet many people are sitting on their beds tonight, happily counting their money. I'm sure many others counted it once and then wanted to count it several more times. Some people might even be too excited to sleep tonight.
Who wouldn't be happy about the first major salary adjustment since the founding of the People's Republic of China?
The next salary adjustment will likely involve a change in the job sequence for professional and technical personnel, such as a change to a contract-based system, for example, for junior engineers and senior engineers.
As far as he knows, the issue of this professional title is already under study, and it is estimated that it will be implemented in a few years.
Then there will be exams, all sorts of exams.
It's like how doctors will have to take a medical licensing exam in the future, and then they'll be differentiated into attending physicians, senior physicians, and associate senior physicians.
