Chapter 474 Exciting Bonus

Before the end of get off work on Friday, the three people she selected had all completed the revisions to their design drafts.

On Saturday, I took their manuscripts and asked the sewing department to make a set of clothes for each of them.

"Fu Yu, are you planning to give them the design award along with this month's salary?"

"Please set aside half an hour before leaving get off work so that I can hold a meeting with everyone about this matter."

Today was the first Saturday that she stayed to work overtime. Fortunately, Ziyuan was out on a mission these two days, otherwise he would definitely be quite resentful.

Before leaving get off work, everyone gathered in the sewing room.

Before, everyone had been holding a wait-and-see and trial attitude regarding Song Fuyu's suggestion of rewards for drawing design drafts. Today, she has formally called everyone to a meeting, and everyone is looking forward to how much the bonus will be.

"You have guessed what I am going to do today, right?"

"Bonus for the design draft!"

"Yes, that's it."

"There were a total of 35 design drafts submitted this time, and I selected four that can be used in this trade show."

"Other people's work doesn't mean yours is bad, it just means you still need to work harder. I have made comments at the end of each manuscript, so you can think about it first. If you don't understand something, you can ask me privately."

"Don't be nervous or shy. I won't curse anyone. This is a process of discussion with everyone."

"I've posted the four manuscripts that passed this time in front of you. Please take a careful look at them first. In three minutes, I will explain to you why they passed and announce the final prize amount."

After pasting it, she stood aside.

Although the reward range for the corresponding design draft has been posted before, it is only a range after all, and she still needs to make the final assessment to determine which level it belongs to.

After everyone had finished watching, she stood at the front again.

"The two paintings on my left hand side were both drawn by Shen He. Among all the drawings made by everyone, hers are the best."

"Xiao He, you're awesome!"

"Yes, Xiao He, you said you were not good enough before, but now the factory director has praised you."

"Okay, be quiet for a moment."

Interrupting everyone's praise for Shen He, she continued speaking.

"Many of the drawings collected have a common problem, that is, they are similar to the clothes we usually wear, with only some minor changes. This is definitely not acceptable."

"Especially, there are comrades who draw military uniforms. Please remember that this does not belong to the production scope of our studio. Such drawings must not appear in the future."

"The reason why I chose these two photos of Shen He is that the clothes she designed are not too similar to the clothes we wear in daily life. For example, the hem and sleeves of this photo are both designed with pleated edges, and the waist is tucked in to highlight the beautiful lines. And in this coat, she has a lot of ideas about the distribution of buttons and the design of the belt, I'm sure you can see that."

She pointed out in detail all the innovative aspects of Shen He's drawings and analyzed with everyone the benefits of using them in this way.

The same explanation was given to Zheng Ruyi and Miao Xiaoping.

After listening to this, other people who submitted their design drafts understood why they were rejected.

"Those who were not selected should not be discouraged. We have a long way to go and there will be many opportunities in the future."

"Before I announce the prize money, I have to emphasize a few more things."

"Once the drawings are selected, each one needs to sign a contract. The drawings are only for our studio to use and cannot be resold to other individuals or clothing factories. Once resale is discovered, the person will be fired and will be required to compensate the studio for 30% of the losses."

"You all know that the money involved in the studio is never just a few thousand or tens of thousands. If the loss is 100,000, then the person who breached the contract will have to pay 30,000 yuan in compensation, so don't do anything stupid."

"Hiss, there are so many!"

"What I said is based on the premise that there is a breach of contract. If there is no breach of contract, there will be no loss."

"Who dares to breach the contract? Isn't this life-threatening?"

"I believe that everyone here is of one mind, all for the good of our Feifan Garment Factory, all for a good life for their families, and will not do anything that goes against their conscience."

"There are many ways to make money, but don't do anything illegal!"

"Okay, I won't say any more nonsense. I'll just announce the amount and award the bonus."

She pulled four envelopes from her pocket and showed them to everyone.

"Oh my god, the envelope is so thick!"

"You three got the prize money, so you have to treat everyone to candy!"

"Don't worry, buy it! I've already exchanged the candy tickets!"

Among the three, Zheng Ruyi was the most generous. She drew a skirt, and the lowest prize was 100 yuan, which was two months' salary for her!

You know, she spent less than a week drawing that picture!

"Shen He's first one is a short-sleeved shirt. After evaluation, the prize is 150 yuan."

Before the second prize was announced, Shen He couldn't help crying with excitement.

"The second one is for an overcoat. The prize money assessed is three hundred dollars. The two together make four hundred and fifty dollars."

“I hope that after you receive the prize money, you will not become complacent, but keep up the good work and strive to create works that will satisfy everyone.”

"Um."

She cried as she took the "heavy" bonus from Song Fuyu.

This was nearly a year's salary for her! She had never received so much money in her life!

She knew this was a very happy thing, but she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Thank you, Director Song. I will definitely continue to work hard in the future and will not delay my work because of drawing."

Song Fuyu once said that work from Monday to Saturday is the main thing.

I don’t want you to delay your work because of drawing. I don’t want you to be too ambitious and focus only on drawing because you see a high bonus for drawing, and stop embroidering and making clothes.

After all, not everyone has such talent. If over a long period of time, no manuscript is passed, the loss will be even greater.

“Keep it up!”

Afterwards, she announced the bonuses of Zheng Ruyi and Miao Xiaoping, the former was two hundred and the latter was one hundred.

After explaining the reasons, the meeting was adjourned.

After get off work, within half an hour, the entire family compound knew that they had received the bonus, and the news also spread to the military training area.

"Zhou Yang, your wife didn't treat everyone to a meal when she came over, so you have to treat everyone to a drink this time!"

"It's not a festival, it's not the New Year, and there's nothing happy happening in our family recently. Why are you inviting everyone to drink?"

Zhou Yang felt confused.

"I heard that your wife won a prize for the picture she drew. It's as much as 450 yuan. With such a high prize, it's not too much for the brothers to ask you for a drink."

“Is this true or false?”

Zhou Yang was stunned, unable to react to the numbers.

"How could it be false? The money has already been paid to your wife."

"I'm going home first."

After saying that, he ran away quickly.

Before he even got home, he heard congratulations all along the way, wishing him a good wife. When he went upstairs, the door to his house was jammed with people, so he couldn't even get in.

"My dear sisters-in-law, what are you doing? Why are you blocking my door?"

"Hey, Comrade Zhou Yang is back. Congratulations! Your wife made a lot of money today, more than your annual salary."

There were constant congratulations, some were genuine expressions of happiness for him, while others were full of sarcasm, motivated by jealousy.

Regardless of whether it was sincere or not, he expressed his gratitude to everyone with a smile. After responding for about ten minutes, he finally went into the house and closed the door.
