Du Lei handed the latest company disciplinary regulations to Dong Jianguo and said with a smile, "Take a look."
Dong Jianguo took a look and saw that the regulations clearly stated that managers were not allowed to collect money from company employees for weddings or funerals.
"President Du, what exactly does the boss mean?" Dong Jianguo asked.
"Actually, the management team only includes the boss and us directors; you are not included," Du Lei explained with a smile.
The Brothers Group has a total of three directors, each overseeing one of the three Brothers Supermarket branches.
Dong Jianguo scratched his head and said with some doubt, "The boss is overjoyed to have a son and doesn't want us to give him a red envelope."
“That’s right,” Du Lei said. “You absolutely must not organize your employees to give him red envelopes, or you’ll really get fired.”
Upon hearing this, the four managers of Yihaodian all breathed a sigh of relief.
Before they came, they had all agreed to give Wang Peng a gift of 1,000 yuan each, mainly to maintain a good relationship with the boss and keep their senior management positions.
If I don't give it to someone else, my position will be in danger.
But this is a thousand yuan, almost half a month's salary. It would be a lie to say I don't feel the pinch.
"Mr. Du, is that really what the boss means?" Dong Jianguo asked excitedly.
“Of course, the boss hates the idea of giving money as a gift.” He patted Tung Chee-hwa on the shoulder. “You guys mustn’t make that mistake.”
The four managers all smiled, and Dong Jianguo quickly nodded: "Don't worry, we will resolutely obey the boss's arrangements."
"That's right." Du Lei opened the drawer and took out a few more disciplinary manuals. "Pass them down, and don't let other employees give you gifts."
“Okay! We’ll pass it on right away.” Dong Jianguo nodded hurriedly.
Du Lei smiled slightly, picked up his car keys, left the office, went downstairs to get two boxes of pure milk, and immediately drove to the Maternal and Child Health Hospital.
The news that Wang Peng refused the congratulatory gift spread like wildfire at Brothers No. 1 Store.
"Sister Lin, look at our company's new regulations." Shop assistant Zhang Xiaoxue handed the brochure in her hand to Feng Lin.
"I've checked it, that was close." Feng Linlin gripped the management regulations tightly and couldn't help but pat her chest.
She is the counter manager of the liquor section, and fifteen employees work for her. Upon hearing the news of the birth of the boss's eldest son, she immediately prepared to give him a gift of two hundred yuan.
Her fifteen employees also found her immediately and each gave her two hundred yuan, which were all intended as congratulatory gifts for Wang Peng.
This amounted to more than three thousand yuan, which she was preparing to give to Wang Peng at the hospital.
"Sister Lin, do you think this rule is good?" Zhang Xiaoxue asked softly.
"What do you think?" Feng Lin smiled slightly and asked her best friend, who had worked with her for a long time.
"Of course it's good." Zhang Xiaoxue looked around and said softly, "This is two hundred yuan, it really hurts my wallet."
Feng Lin smiled slightly. Yes, she also felt bad about spending those two hundred yuan.
Zhang Xiaoxue said, "But even though I feel bad about it, I'll still give you two hundred yuan. Sister Lin, you have no idea how envious everyone in the yard is of me."
At this point, Zhang Xiaoxue said with a smile, "Their salary is at most six hundred, while mine is three times higher than theirs."
Feng Lin smiled slightly and patted her on the shoulder: "So you have to do a good job and make sure you don't make any mistakes."
As she spoke, she took out two hundred yuan from her pocket: "Since the boss won't accept our gifts, let's save this two hundred yuan."
Zhang Xiaoxue hurriedly put the money in her pocket and said with a smile, "Our boss is such a good person. He always thinks of us workers."
“She’s always been like this. It’s our good fortune to work for her.” Feng Lin took out more money from her wallet, preparing to return it to the employees in the beverage section one by one.
"Sister Linlin, I'd like to send the boss a greeting card to wish the young master a healthy and happy life. Is that alright?" Zhang Xiaoxue asked.
Feng Lin thought about it carefully and nodded: "That's a good idea."
She also planned to give Wang Peng a greeting card, which would express her feelings and wouldn't cost much.
The two chatted for a few more minutes, and Feng Lin distributed the remaining money to her colleagues and took some time to buy greeting cards at the stationery counter.
She picked out a cute baby greeting card and took out 50 cents to give to Li Fang, the manager of the stationery section.
"Sister Lin, do you want to send a greeting card to the boss?" Li Fang asked with a smile.
Feng Lin was taken aback, then nodded: "The boss doesn't allow us to give money, so I just wanted to give a card, since it's a happy occasion."
"Haha, great minds think alike." Li Fang also pulled out his greeting card from his pocket. "Shall we go together after get off work?"
“Okay, I’ll take your motorcycle.” Feng Lin waved to him and turned back to the drinks area.
At 7 p.m., the replacement arrived, and Feng Lin packed her things and waited for Li Fang at the supermarket entrance.
The two rode their motorcycle to the maternal and child health hospital and asked around until they found Wang Peng's room.
Only Wang Peng, Li Mingzhu, and Du Lei were in the house; everyone else had gone home for dinner.
Li Mingzhu had a scarf wrapped around her head, and Wang Peng was feeding her chicken soup.
"Hello, boss." Feng Lin greeted Wang Peng with a smile.
Wang Peng didn't recognize her. When he saw that she was holding a red envelope, he immediately looked at Du Lei with a stern face.
Du Lei's heart skipped a beat, and he asked anxiously, "Feng Lin, what's going on? Didn't we tell you not to come and give red envelopes?"
"No, no." Feng Lin hurriedly waved her hand and quickly took out a greeting card from the red envelope. "Boss, this is a greeting card, not money."
"Yes, boss, we're just sending greeting cards, which only represent our children's wishes," Li Fang quickly explained.
Li Mingzhu smiled and said, "Honey, it's normal for friends to exchange greeting cards. You received greeting cards when you were in school, right?"
Wang Peng was taken aback, thinking that he had studied in Ping'an County for three years and had indeed received many greeting cards.
Especially the year he graduated from high school, almost all his classmates gave him greeting cards.
Du Lei said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you don't know, Brother Peng is a very popular figure in our school. Almost the entire class sends him greeting cards."
"Oh?" Li Mingzhu said with a smile, "Honey, have you ever received love letters or greeting cards?"
Wang Peng was taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh out loud: "It seems like I've received quite a few, hehe."
He smiled, and Du Lei and Li Mingzhu smiled too, while Feng Lin and Li Fang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister Linlin, come and see the baby?" Li Mingzhu asked with a smile.
"Hey!" Feng Lin was overjoyed and hurriedly went to the bedside, handing the greeting card to Wang Peng with both hands.
"Thank you." Wang Peng's mood immediately improved when he saw the cute chubby boy on the greeting card.
He opened the greeting card and saw that it was written in pen: "Wishing the young master of Brother Supermarket a healthy growth and a long life."
Wang Peng was overjoyed by these words. He smiled and said, "Thank you for the card. I really like it."
Feng Lin immediately beamed with joy, finally putting her mind at ease.
Li Fang also hurried over and handed the greeting card to Wang Peng with a smile.
Wang Peng opened the greeting card and saw that it read: "Wishing the young boss to be even richer than the boss in the future."
"Haha." Wang Peng couldn't help but laugh out loud, and immediately gave Li Fang a thumbs up.
