"Right!" Xie Lin clapped his hands. "Even though the New Year has passed, the remaining funds can only last for another year. What should I do now?"
"Go find Manager Zhang! Didn't he also bring the county company accountant with him? Check the funds with Accountant Wang and hand over all the accounts and remaining funds. Only then can you be completely relieved of your burden.
Even if the new East Street is built quickly, it will still take more than a year. Do you still have to stand in this awkward position and worry about the living expenses of your employees? Now that the county company has taken back the ownership of the food station, you should quickly and voluntarily hand over the rights and funds!
If you feel aggrieved, just go back a little at a time. Why do you hold yourself back?"
Xie Lin clapped his hands and laughed, "Hahahaha, good! I'll go chase Manager Zhang right away."
Xie Lin quickly left Zhou's house. Zhou's father, who was accompanying the guests, nodded at his daughter.
"Are you taking this opportunity to cause trouble?"
Zhou Xiang looked innocent. "Am I wrong? Since the county company is involved, the food station definitely doesn't have to be responsible for its own profits and losses. My cousin has no independent rights to the food station's land, so he has no obligation to pay wages. You don't feel sorry for your cousin, but do you feel sorry for Manager Zhang?"
"Hey kid, is that what I mean? As soon as your cousin went to see Manager Zhang, Manager Zhang must have known that it was your idea. Otherwise, why didn't your cousin say anything just now? Why did he chase you afterwards?"
"I know, so what? Can't I help my relatives? Besides, this is a legitimate transfer of power. What's wrong with that?"
"Okay! You're right. Then tell me, why do I have to choose my plot of land next to the gate? And why does it have to include the gate cover?"
Zhou Xiang blinked his big eyes and looked at his father, "Dad! You think I made the decision for you, right?"
Father Zhou paused and sighed, "A little bit. Buying out means the formal job I was so proud of when I was young has come to an end. I'm a little reluctant to let go, but you made the decision for me with such determination."
Zhou Xiang walked over to sit next to his father, holding his arm, and said, "Dad! Nothing lasts forever. What you were so proud of back then has become useless now. What's there to be reluctant about?
We want the land next to the gate because we have half the say in the gate. If something happens, we don't have to be controlled by others. In addition, the roof belongs to us, so we have more control over the gate.
The land is now owned by individuals. If the people on either side of the gate have bad intentions, it will be difficult for me to operate my park."
Upon hearing this reason, Zhou's father's pretentious thoughts disappeared, "Then ask your cousin to ask for the land on the other side of the gate."
Zhou Xiang nodded and said, "Yes! Please talk to your uncle. I am worried if the gate is not under our control."
"Okay! I'll tell him."
Zhou Xiang breathed a sigh of relief after successfully changing the subject. She had been a bit overstepping her authority. After all, this buyout was the last decision her father would make at work.
Going upstairs, I saw my mother and asked casually, "Mom, I've taken the northernmost part of your bought-out land, the land closest to me. Do you have any objections?"
Mother Zhou shook her head. "What's the difference? The land near you, you can build it together with me later, and I don't have to spend any money, how great is that?
Speaking of this, I remembered why you haven't built those plots of land yet? Are you waiting for Song Sui to help you build them?"
"I'm not waiting for Song Sui. He's too busy. I'll wait until the school's foundation is laid, then send a group of people and machinery over to build it. I'm sure we can catch up with Song Sui. He builds one by one, separating the walls. I build them all together, using the same walls and walls, so it's much faster."
"I see. I was wondering why you weren't worried! Since you have an idea, I won't worry about it. When you asked that question just now, did your dad say anything?"
"Nothing, just some emotion."
Zhou's mother didn't believe it. "Your father is a troublesome person sometimes. Don't pay attention to him. Just choose whichever one you think is reasonable and suitable. He doesn't have the money to build it, so he wants you to pay for it."
Zhou Xiang nodded and changed the subject, "Mom! Shouldn't you retire this year?"
Mother Zhou paused, clapped her hands, and said, "Oh! I've been living my life to the point of being completely lost. That's right! I'm 55 this year, and it's time for me to apply for retirement."
"Apply one month before you turn 55."
"There's still more than half a year left, so there's no rush." When Zhou's mother heard that there was plenty of time, she was no longer in a hurry and lowered her head to tease her grandson.
Manager Zhang was forced to return to the food station and let the accountant who followed him to calculate the food station's projects. He and Xie Ling chatted,
"Xie Lin, Zhou Xiang is so good to you. She takes care of you in every way. She even worries about your work."
Xie Lin chuckled and said, "I'm lucky to have such a capable cousin."
Looking at the pride on Xie Lin's face, Manager Zhang angrily criticized him, "It's a pity that the people from Xiao Xie Village are always hindering us."
The smile on Xie Ling's face froze. Manager Zhang was bringing up something that was completely irrelevant.
Seeing Xie Ling's expression change, Manager Zhang was secretly pleased. Humph! I told you not to show off.
After taking a deep breath, Xie Lin said, "We'll correct our mistakes. The village chief has been replaced, and things will definitely get better in the future."
"It's just a personal connection." How could Manager Zhang not know who the new head of Xiaoxie Village was? While strolling along New East Street, he'd already inquired about all the latest news in the town.
Xie Lin stopped talking. In front of Manager Zhang, his status was suppressed, so it was difficult for him to retort. He might as well stay still! After getting rid of the burden, who would care who was the manager and who was the stationmaster?
Manager Zhang also calmed down and waited for the two accountants to finish their calculations. For a while, the only sound in the office was the clacking of abacus.
More than an hour later, the county company accountant said, "Manager Zhang, the accounting is complete. The accounts are fine. The remaining funds are RMB."
"Only this much?" Manager Zhang was very surprised. The original contract fee for the river channel plus the rent for the single dormitory was more than 100,000 yuan.
The county company accountant reported the accounts to Manager Zhang. They were very simple accounts. The two largest sources of income were the rent of the river and the single dormitory, and then there was the income from selling small items in the office.
After deducting the living expenses of 26 people for 38 months, which was because Zhou Quan was on unpaid leave and did not receive living expenses, the remaining amount would be even less. Adding some necessary expenses for maintenance and repair, the remaining amount was more than 40,000 yuan. This was because Stationmaster Xie was very frugal. Over the past three years, the expenses for maintaining public equipment were only about 3,000 yuan.
After listening to the accountant's report, Manager Zhang was silent for a while before turning to Xie Lin and said, "I'm sorry, but Zhou's suggestion to you is very reasonable.
The original 100,000 yuan may seem like a lot, but it's not enough for so many people to share. Each person doesn't get much, but when you add them together, it becomes a huge sum. You also have Zhou Xiang's contract fee, and Liu Zhen probably owes even more wages to his employees.
Being responsible for your own profits and losses reduces the company's burden, but it also forcibly puts shackles on you."
Xie Lin was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly. Was the manager apologizing to him? "It's okay, it's okay. We should do what we can for the company."
