Chapter 148
As the new year is approaching, workers in Pingxiba have been thinking about one thing recently, and that is how to ask for leave from their employers.
Although the daily wages are high, the New Year's Eve is a big event. Not only are there festivals in the clan, but they also want to reunite happily with their wives, children, and mothers. This cannot be replaced by making money.
"Brother Xing, hasn't the higher ups mentioned this yet?"
On this day, a certain man couldn't help but ask. His home was not in Black Rock City, and it would take him a day or two to get back. He was inevitably a little anxious.
Shui Xin shook his head, "Steward Su hasn't notified you yet, so don't worry. There will still be some time. My boss is a kind man and will definitely give me a holiday."
"Oh, I... I just feel uneasy. Brother Shui, you also know that the commercial street is looked forward to by many people. The owner must be waiting to repair it and make money. The New Year's Eve time is ten and a half days at least. This time is too long."
Shui Xin raised his head and looked around the construction site, feeling a little uncertain in his heart. It seemed that the repairs would be completed in twenty days. If it was postponed for the New Year, when would it have to wait?
He doesn't know what other foremen are like, but because he is a foreman, he has access to more information. He knows that Wen Yunxi spends a lot of money every day. Sometimes he is afraid that one day he will suddenly be unable to pay his wages. This commercial street can be said to be Wen Yunxi's. This was a major way to make money in the past. Can she really wait another half month? If it were him, he might not be able to do this.
No, if it were him, he would never pay such high wages to the workers, nor would he provide such good food, clothing and accommodation. To be honest, the current wages have been reduced by more than half, and there are countless people vying to work.
"Brother Xing? Do you think you won't let him go?"
When the man who asked the question saw Shuixin's silence, he was even more upset. In fact, the construction site did not restrict their freedom. They could just tell the foreman a day in advance before leaving. However, Wen Yunxi treated them kindly, and they could not leave the construction site and return. Family matters.
Moreover, if they leave the construction site, their accumulated working hours will be invalidated, and they may not be able to enter the construction site when they come back. It is really hard to let go of such a good job.
Shui Xin patted the man on the shoulder, "Don't think too much, just go to work."
It's useless no matter how much they think about it, they still have to see what their boss does.
The man sighed and walked back with the pole. Today it was his turn to carry gravel to pave the ground. If he did not carry enough gravel, he would be kicked out of the construction site three times, so no one dared to be lazy.
Shuixin looked at his back and shook his head. Just as he was planning to ask Su Qiao, he heard the sound of a gong.
Let's gather in the square at this time? Shui Xin felt happy. Could it be that she was talking about a holiday?
But just tell the foremen directly about the holiday. Why do you need to call everyone in?
Confused, everyone put down their work and rushed outside the hospital square.
Shuixin was even more surprised when he arrived. Not only were they working at the construction site, but also the doctors and nurses in the hospital.
Wen Yunxi straightened his hair that was messed up by the wind and walked onto the stage.
She bowed to everyone below and said in a loud voice: "Thank you for your help in these days. The new year is approaching and it is a time for your family members to reunite and have fun. I have prepared some small thoughts to wish you all a happy New Year and prosperity every year. .”
As soon as Wen Yunxi finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers from below. Not only was it a holiday, but there were also things to take. How could you not be happy?
Moreover, the care Wen Yunxi mentioned was never without full weight, which really made people look forward to it.
Su Qiao came to the stage holding two boxes, shaking his head secretly in his heart.
Sometimes he really couldn't see through Wen Yunxi. He said she was a profiteer and loved money. She was very generous to these workers. He said she was not a profiteer and she was always scheming.
She deserved it because she had no money. She was too poor to take the blame, so she secretly went to the black market to sell statues of herself to subsidize her. She also had to sell iron to give workers New Year's benefits.
The same goes for Zhuo Yun. You have to know that there is also her money in it, but she allows Wen Yunxi to do whatever he wants. I really don't know where Zhuo Yun's shrewdness has everyone saw the two small boxes, they began to speculate.
"Brother Xing, what do you think is inside?"
"Money."
Not only Shuixin, but also many people think so. The box is only one foot square and cannot hold much at all.
If it's money, even if it's copper plates, two boxes can hold dozens of coins. Tens of thousands of dollars is a lot of money, but I don't know who can get it.
"Call the foreman to come up."
Shui Xin smiled upon hearing this and stepped onto the stage amidst countless envious eyes.
The sixteen foremen stood up straight on the stage, all with their heads held high, waiting to receive their money, which caused a burst of envious sighs from below.
Being a foreman is great. Not only does the salary be much higher, but there is also a monthly management allowance. If you are rated as the best foreman that month, you can receive several dollars of money. Over the past few months, everyone has made a full pocket.
Wen Yunxi opened the box in front of everyone. The foreman who was close could not help but exclaimed, it was not copper plates, but silver! Not only the foremen, but also the people below noticed it, and there was another uproar.
That's silver. A small piece is very valuable. How much are these two boxes worth? Shuixin swallowed as he looked at the open box. Twelve silver ingots were neatly arranged inside, which meant that they would all receive at least one, which was higher than the award for the best foreman.
Wen Yunxi was very straightforward and sent one to each of the 14 people.
The remaining Shuixin and Shuba looked at each other, surprise flashing in their eyes. They had no money, so they could only get more.
Sure enough, Wen Yunxi opened another box. As soon as this box was opened, the people below immediately screamed.
"Gold! There is still gold!"
Even Su Qiao was shocked. Wen Yunxi was crazy. How could she get so much gold and then give it out as a bonus? ! What a money-spreading boy, she is the God of Wealth! Lager touched the purse around his waist and suddenly felt that the ingot of gold no longer smelled good.
Shuixin looked at the box of gold without blinking. His father gave his mother a gold ring when he was young, but his mother kept it carefully and did not dare to wear it casually. This was the first time he had seen so much gold put together.
Shuba's eyes shone with excitement. Those gold ingots were not small. They were more than enough to buy a house in the city.
Everyone looked at Wen Yunxi eagerly as she took out two gold ingots and walked towards Shuixin and Shuba.
"Good job!"
Wen Yunxi put the gold ingot in their rough hands and patted their shoulders with a smile.
"I...I..." Shui Xin was usually good at talking, but at this moment he was so excited that he couldn't speak.
There are enough gold ingots for him to pass down to his family! Shuba was even more excited. He touched the gold back and forth and looked at the sun carefully. He was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth.
"Show me now!"
"Oh, this is gold. It's really beautiful."
The other foremen gathered around the two to beg for help. Two gold ingots were circulating among the crowd, with longing and firm eyes. They were all foremen. They didn't get it this year. As long as they work hard, they might be the ones next year.
