Chapter 224 Relatives Visit
After all, Su Houli and Gao Meifeng are old employees of Qimei Garment Factory. Although President Kang feels that there are some problems with their work style, they are still very dedicated at work.
Witnessing their farce, President Kang called the two into his office again and brought up the housing issue: "It's not right for you to keep renting a house. Since you're long-time employees, I'll apply for a benefit for you. You only need to pay a down payment of 5,000 yuan, and you can move into our new factory building before the New Year. But the remaining 5,000 yuan will be deducted from your salary."
"Thank you, Mr. Kang!" Su Houli and Gao Meifeng were overjoyed, especially Su Houli, who was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. "Mr. Kang, you are such a great benefactor to us!"
The holiday for senior year students starts a week later than that for freshman and sophomore year students.
After the exams, the official holiday was not until the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. Su Jiaojiao studied hard throughout this semester and her grades improved significantly.
Especially in mathematics, he scored 116 points, a record high, and ranked among the top five in the class.
This gave Su Jiaojiao more confidence.
She didn't go anywhere during this winter vacation. She just stayed at home and studied and studied again.
Ding Mei's Natus workshop did not close until the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month. Su Jiaojiao settled the last batch of processing fees for them. They made more than 3,000 leather jackets in the past six months, and the processing fees paid in installments totaled more than 45,000 yuan.
With this money, Ding Mei paid salaries to Liu Ming and others, paid off all her debts, and gave everyone a New Year's bonus of ten kilograms of fish and twenty kilograms of rice.
As a customer, Su Jiaojiao also expressed her gratitude by giving each person a box of sausages and a box of apples.
The apples were from Chen Guisheng's orchard. Chen Guisheng sent them two baskets. Su Jiaojiao went to Hualian Department Store and bought a gift box as a New Year's gift.
Cai Ting was so happy that she went crazy. This was too generous.
More than she posted when she was at the CITS Hotel.
Even Chen Xiaohong was jealous of Cai Ting's New Year's goods. It would be so prestigious to bring such things back to her hometown.
Chen Xiaohong also gave up the house in the snack street and she didn't plan to sell vegetables anymore.
She planned to sell clothes with Su Jiaojiao, and she has been busy cleaning up her outlet these days. There are more and more residents in the community, and now is a good time to open a clothing store.
Su Jiaojiao agreed to help her plan it well. As long as the positioning is done well, there should be no problem.
On the day off, Ding Mei went to the department store and bought two sets of bedding for Su Jiaojiao as a token of her appreciation: "If it weren't for you, I would never have been able to turn things around this year. This is just a small token of my appreciation, I hope you don't mind."
"Sister Ding, you're so polite. This is a mutually beneficial situation for us. Without you, I wouldn't have anywhere to make leather jackets." Su Jiaojiao understood Ding Mei's feelings and happily accepted her gift. "I hope we can continue our cooperation next year and make more money."
With Qin Shuang's previous experience at Jiali Garment Factory as a lesson, she didn't want to be too involved with Ding Mei.
Cooperation is cooperation.
Hualian Department Store was closed on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, so Chen Guilan bought New Year's goods one after another and filled up the refrigerator. At first, she thought the refrigerator was not practical, but once she started using it, she couldn't put it down.
Especially during the Chinese New Year.
There are no yards in the city, so we can’t pile up New Year’s goods in the yard like in the village. We can only put them in the refrigerator.
Su Jiaojiao didn't care about these things. She locked herself in the room all day to memorize words and do exercises.
Although her grades have improved a lot, she still dare not be careless.
In an unfamiliar field, she has to be more cautious and work twice as hard to get the results she wants.
She only opened her cell phone during lunch, and it was full of text messages from Lu Jingyou.
He said that he had completed his work in the northwest and had already returned to the capital, but something happened with the project his second uncle was in charge of in Guangzhou, so he rushed to Guangzhou to help deal with it.
A text message yesterday said that he had mailed her a set of review materials and asked her to remember to pick them up. He said that he had someone organize them and they would definitely be useful.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu." Su Jiaojiao replied to him.
After a while, he replied: "I'm out now. I'll call you when I get back to the hotel tonight. You just got a day off, so have a good rest."
At night, Chen Guichang and Wang Yunying came suddenly. The reason why they came suddenly was that they had not come since the last time they made a fuss about moving the grave.
Su Jiaojiao lives in the school dormitory and has never seen them.
Chen Guilan met them twice in the community, but they didn't talk much.
"Brother and sister-in-law, is there anything wrong?" Chen Guilan got a headache when she saw them, mainly because they must be up to no good.
"Look at you, can't we come over if we're fine?" Wang Yunying spoke first, then looked towards the bedroom and asked with a smile, "Isn't Jiaojiao on vacation? Isn't she home?"
"She's at home, doing her homework!" Chen Guilan understood, looking a little unhappy. "It's the same if you tell me anything."
"I heard that you have a good relationship with Liang Kun from Xiumei's family?" Chen Guichang asked.
"Yes, we do." Chen Guilan was confused. "Why do you ask that, brother?"
"Well, Chen Jiang runs a restaurant, so he wanted to rent a permanent tin-sheet restaurant in the Jiaoxian market to sell mutton soup. But for some reason, Liang Kun refused to rent it to him." This was the first time Chen Guichang had lowered himself to Chen Guilan and said, "We don't have any dealings with Liang Kun, and we've never offended him."
"Doesn't Liang Kun work at the meat processing plant?" Chen Guilan didn't understand. "How could he have made things difficult for Chen Jiang?"
"He's been laid off!" Chen Guichang was surprised that Chen Guilan didn't know this. "The meat processing plant also laid off employees. In order to keep Liang Wencai, Liang Kun took the initiative to apply. Now he has partnered with someone to take over the Jiaoxian Market and is responsible for collecting stall fees!"
"We really don't know." Chen Guilan hadn't seen Liang Kun for a long time and didn't tell him about Liang Kun's layoff.
"Guilan, don't mind if we didn't invite you to the Chenjiang Hotel opening." Wang Yunying said awkwardly, "It's our fault for not thinking things through. We didn't mean any harm, we just didn't think of it."
"It's okay, we don't have time to go." Chen Guilan didn't care. "Liang Kun also lives in our community, you can just go find him directly."
The couple always use people who are forward-looking rather than backward-looking.
She was of no use at the time, so of course they wouldn't invite them, but she really didn't care and she didn't want to go.
"If Liang Kun was willing to see us, we wouldn't come to you." Chen Guichang said embarrassedly, "We went to his house, and his attitude was very bad. He wouldn't even let us in."
"That's right. Liang Kun has a pretty bad temper. He keeps saying it's just business, but those who arrived later than us were able to rent that tin-sheet restaurant." Wang Yunying forced a smile. "We want you to ask Liang Kun why he refused to rent to us."
