Chapter 501 Year-end
It was a rare day today, Xia Zhizhi did not go out. There was something going on at the factory, so she asked Zhu Qingle to go there. The kid can drive now, so it is not inconvenient for him to go out now.
Not only did Xia Zhizhi not go out, but Ah Ju also had a rare day off.
Of course, Ah Ju’s rest was not a real rest. He did not go out to work. He got up early in the morning, took over Li Mingyan’s job, and made breakfast for Xia Zhizhi.
After all, he was the boss, so Li Mingyan dared not say anything but could only hold his anger and help out, learning from him at the same time.
Ah Ju was not shy about it. He hoped that everyone would learn how to make it, so that no matter what Xia Zhizhi wanted to eat, someone would always be there to make it for her.
Seeing this, Li Mingyan felt guilty again and felt that he was being unreasonable.
After breakfast, when the sun shone on the front garden, Xia Zhizhi and Aju sat in the garden to bask in the sun.
Xia Zhizhi replenishes calcium while Aju recharges energy, without any delay.
Xia Zhizhi held the flower tea cup in her hand, rocking the rocking chair gently, and looked at Ah Ju and said, "The Chinese New Year is only a month away. There is a lot of work going on in the factory. How about you not go back for the Chinese New Year this year?"
Ah Ju refused: "The journey is long, and there will be a lot of passengers on the bus during the Spring Festival. If you go back by yourself, you will suffer a lot on the road. How can you do that?
Besides, there are so many people at home during the Chinese New Year, and grandparents and parents are busy entertaining them. Sister Qingqing probably has children too, so who will take care of you then?
I can handle the factory's affairs in advance, and I can just take a holiday early and start work later. It will just mean a little less production, but we don't need that little money."
It's not about the money.
Xia Zhizhi supported her face and said, "The main reason is that I want to stay at home for a longer period of time."
Zeng Zelan couldn't possibly let her out too early.
She has to wait until at least the end of the first lunar month before coming out. It will take a few days on the way from north to south, and she can't let the workers start work after the first lunar month.
Ah Ju thought for a moment and said, "How about this? We'll start work as normal next year. After the Chinese New Year, I'll go here first to take care of things at the factory, then come back to pick you up. When grandma asks, just tell her that a friend of mine is getting married and I went to attend the wedding."
"That's fine." Xia Zhizhi nodded: "It's just hard work for you."
Ah Ju smiled faintly: "It's not hard for me."
Bai Yunyun and Li Mingyan put the flower branches trimmed by the gardener into a vase, while secretly glancing at Xia Zhizhi and Aju's backs, and then the two little sisters gossiped secretly.
Li Mingyan sighed: "Ms. Xia and Mr. Xia have a really good relationship."
Because in this family, Xia Zhizhi comes first in everything, so everyone else in the family has gotten used to it and always puts Xia Zhizhi first in everything they say and do.
"Of course not. If you don't go out, you don't know how chaotic the families of rich people are. I have never met a young lady and a gentleman who are as harmonious as ours." Bai Yunyun adjusted the direction of the flower. She had been running outside with Xia Zhizhi quite a lot during this period. Apart from other things, she had indeed seen a lot of things.
There is basically no situation where a family loves each other completely. It is normal for them to quarrel and argue when living under the same roof. It would be fine if they just quarrel and argue, and it can only be attributed to their personality.
It is still popular here these days to have three wives and four concubines, and keeping concubines is open and aboveboard. The more wives one has, the more children one will have, and parents with the same child will fight over the property, not to mention that they are not from the same mother.
When it comes to interests, they are no different from enemies, and they are so fierce in their confrontation with each other. When the father is not looking, they almost write on their faces that they wish the other person to die.
If you work for an employer like this, no one will know what's going on.
When we first arrived, because both of them had the surname Xia and slept in separate rooms, everyone thought they were brother and sister.
After spending some time together, they realized that this was not the way siblings should get along.
Once, Xia Zhizhi was soaking in the bathtub when Ah Ju came in. Bai Yunyun was startled and shook a bath towel like a bull, not knowing whether she should stop Xia Zhizhi first or drive Ah Ju away.
As a result, Xia Zhizhi was not frightened at all. She stayed in the bathtub and discussed company matters with Aju. After the discussion, she stood up from the bathtub in front of the two of them.
Most people can't possibly take a bath in a bathing suit.
So Xia Zhizhi was naked.
Xia Zhizhi was giving out such benefits, but Ah Ju remained calm. However, Bai Yunyun could not bear it any longer. Her small round face instantly turned red like a soy sauce and salved egg. She was in a panic and looked left and right, not knowing where to put her eyes.
Ah Ju calmly took the bath towel from Bai Yunyun's hand and wrapped it around Xia Zhizhi, then helped her wipe her hair, blow dry her hair, and do skin care.
Don't be too skillful in your movements.
In their daily lives, the two never avoided suspicion, so everyone tacitly accepted that they were a couple.
Li Mingyan nodded in agreement: "Sister Zhen also told me some of this. She heard it at her former employer's house. It's even more exciting than what's written in the newspaper."
After arranging the flowers in the vase, Bai Yunyun tidied up the leaves and asked Li Mingyan, "Why don't you tell Miss to go learn how to drive or something? Isn't it boring to stay in the kitchen every day?"
After seeing the world, Bai Yunyun sincerely hoped that her younger sisters could also go out and see the world.
Li Mingyan shook her head: "I dare not drive, I am afraid. I feel good at home. I like cooking. Miss Xia allows me to use expensive ingredients to research new dishes. Ah Zhen also teaches me how to make pastries and English. I think this is good."
Seeing that Li Mingyan was satisfied with her life, Bai Yunyun said nothing more and went upstairs carrying the vase.
Everyone has a different personality, and not everyone has to stand out. It's also good to be able to do what you like.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, and both Xia Zhizhi and Aju had a lot to do.
The two of them acted separately, each busy with their own things.
Aju is in charge of the company's external business orders, while Xia Zhizhi is in charge of paying salaries, preparing the company's year-end activities and red envelopes.
After continuous recruitment during this period, all basic positions have been fully staffed.
There were several hundred people in total, including workers from several factories and a series of management personnel. Xia Zhizhi gave out more than 100,000 yuan in red envelopes.
The red envelopes for ordinary employees are all the same, just for the sake of showing their appreciation, but for some management-level employees who have outstanding work abilities and do a good job, the red envelopes will naturally be bigger.
In addition to red envelopes, Xia Zhizhi also held an annual meeting. It wasn't too complicated. She just prepared some gifts and let everyone draw prizes, try their luck, and have some fun.
The gold prize was a radio produced by Xia Zhizhi's own company, the two silver prizes were a set of suits, the three bronze prizes were a set of home textiles, and the ten special prizes were a large pig leg. In short, all of them came from her space.
Because it was organized by Xia Zhizhi herself, there was naturally no shady dealings.
The gold, silver and bronze awards were all won by ordinary employees, but two managers won the special award.
You know what, this group of people don't like to attend meetings, but they are quite enthusiastic when asked to participate in a lottery.
