Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Zeng Wangcai is very glad that he let his mother go out to work and is very glad that he took over this store.

If he hadn’t contracted this store, Zeng Wangcai would never have seen his mother like this now... How should I put it, she was a little panicked at the beginning, but then she became more and more confident, and her whole body was glowing.

Work, or career, or to put it a little bit more, thoughts, are really important to a person.

Chen Yumei used to spend every day around the stove. Although her life was leisurely, it was boring.

After Zeng Wangcai came back, he sometimes saw his mother sitting alone in a daze with a silly look in her eyes. No one knew what she was thinking about.

If the family was poorer and had more things to do, this state might not exist. We would be worrying about food and drink all day long, so how would we have time to sit there and do nothing?

But isn’t this progress for the whole family?

Therefore, even if this store ultimately fails to contribute to the housing issue, Zeng Wangcai feels it is worth it, even if it means making a loss.

"We don't have equal pay for equal work. We have a basic salary plus bonus system." Chen Yumei opened the work manual and read the terms of the system that she had already digested. "Liu Qunying, Song Yanyan...you two old employees, your basic salary is 40 yuan a month. Zeng Jinhuan...you new employees, we don't have apprentices, we only have a probation period. For those who sign a contract, during the probation period, the basic salary is 30 yuan a month..."

"Oh, forty dollars a month?"

"This is a bit more than what we used to get. Before, including the duty allowance, we only got 34.5 yuan a month."

Liu Qunying and the other person were stunned.

The reason they agreed to stay was not because of Zeng Wangcai's face, but because they were forced to stay by Lao Qian, and they also had a mission.

The two of them didn't have too many expectations for the income here. They just thought that if they didn't agree and were transferred to another place, Lao Qian would just give them a word and their feet would be squeezed into three-inch golden lotus.

Now when I hear this, I am overjoyed.

"Don't be too happy, there's more!" Chen Yumei saw the expressions of the two people and continued, "In addition to the basic salary, there are bonuses. The basic salary is only related to your usual work attendance. As long as you are not late, do not leave early, and do not make principled mistakes, the basic salary will be given to you in full, but the bonus will not be reduced.

"Bonuses are subject to K...KPI...assessment."

Not only did Liu Qunying and the others not understand these three words, even Chen Yumei had difficulty pronouncing them.

However, Chen Yumei trusted her son. After listening to his explanation, she thought that her son was a genius and that this kind of assessment should have come earlier.

"Don't worry, I'll explain it to you. It's all quantified..." Chen Yumei continued, "The assessment includes attendance. Except for eight days of rest each month, you don't take leave for the rest of the time. You will be rewarded one yuan..."

"Wait a minute!" Liu Qunying was shocked. "Manager Chen, eight days of rest is four days, right?"

"We don't care about other places, but our store has eight days of work, two days off a week, Saturday and Sunday, but you need to adjust your shifts." Chen Yumei cleared her throat and said, "We work eight hours, but the store will be open later and close at 10 pm, so the rest time will be doubled. Outside of the rest time, whoever leaves early, is late, or asks for leave will lose this dollar..."

Are you opening a store?

You are doing charity...

Liu Qunying and Song Yanyan were almost crying, they were so moved.

Facts have proved that once people are under great pressure, they will adapt to it after forming a habit, and will be grateful if they relax a little.

Those office workers in later generations miss working from nine to five every day and have become accustomed to it.

"Any comments?"

"No objection, no objection. I firmly support the leadership of Manager Chen."

Liu Qunying and Song Yanyan stood at attention, their postures were much more standard than before, and the admiration and respect on their faces were visible to the naked eye.

"This is about attendance." Chen Yumei felt the respect of the two people, looked at her son proudly, and continued, "The second assessment is very important. It is about service attitude. We must provide smiling service and not quarrel with customers. There must not be any fighting. If you can do this in one month's class, you will get a bonus of three yuan..."

Just a three dollar reward for a smiling face?

Isn't this a free gift?

Just pout a little and speak more quietly... If that's the reward I can make you bankrupt.

When Chen Yumei asked about this, Liu Qunying and Song Yanyan nodded like chicks eating rice.

"Article 3: The placement and sanitation of goods..."

"Article 4..."

There is actually not much content in the assessment, which are the most basic things that must be done in the service industry in the future. The total reward is ten yuan.

Zeng Wangcai originally wanted to pay 50 yuan in salary directly, but later he changed it to this.

A bonus of ten yuan a month is one-quarter of the salary. The basic salary is originally higher, so the total amount is enormous, higher than that of some cadres.

"This...is this true?" Liu Qunying asked in disbelief.

"What's true or false? Of course it's true." Chen Yumei put away the work manual and patted her chest and said, "Today is New Year's Eve, don't talk nonsense, sign the terms and conditions later, go home for the New Year, and open the store tomorrow morning.

"From now on, the 2nd of each month will be closed, and on the 1st, we need to check our individual assessments from the previous month. By the way, tomorrow's work will be considered overtime, and you will be paid three times the salary..."

"Manager Chen, we will work with you for the rest of our lives. Forget about working overtime."

"That's right. We will come at six tomorrow morning. No, we will come to open the door at five. People who go out to pay New Year's greetings early on the first day of the New Year will get up early..."

Fifty-one months, with overtime pay and a position in the supply and marketing cooperative. Where else can you find such a good thing?

Sign the terms quickly.

what?

The ink is gone?

Bring me a knife, forget it, just bite it with your teeth, I will make my fingerprints even if I drain all the blood.

.......

Crackling!

There is only one New Year's Eve in a year. No one has to go to work or study. Firecrackers are set off almost all night long, making it impossible for people to sleep.

Zeng Wangcai got up before dawn and carefully took the legs off his body.

Don't get me wrong, they are the legs of the twin brothers.

The housing problem has not been solved yet. There are many people in the family, so Zeng Wangcai sleeps with his son, and Zhang Xiuzhi sleeps with her daughter and grandmother.

The two children were not sleeping well. They sandwiched their father, one on the left and the other on the right, with one crossing his left leg and the other crossing his right leg.

Zeng Wangcai came out breathing out the cold air while helping his son tuck in the turned-up corner of the quilt.

"Mom, so early? It's not even dawn yet." Zeng Wangcai saw in a daze that his mother was already dressed.

"What do you mean early? The stores are open and busy now."

"No..."

Zeng Wangcai underestimated the charm of money, or rather, underestimated the appeal of receiving money for a long time.

Liu Qunying and others said they would come at five o'clock, but in fact they arrived as early as four-thirty. When Zeng Wangcai arrived, the goods had already been placed in front of the store, and they were being arranged according to his requirements.

Such things as candies for children, fireworks and firecrackers for playing with, cigarettes and alcohol for New Year's greetings, canned ginkgo nuts, etc.

"Manager Chen, we are almost ready, you don't have to come so early." When Liu Qunying saw Chen Yumei and her son coming out, she hurried over to report her work.

In fact, there is no need to report it, it can be seen with the naked eye.

Zeng Wangcai ignored this and took Xiaobao to the store entrance, which was the open space at the entrance of the courtyard, and the two of them brought a large firework...
