Chapter 441 Everyone is a fool
Chapter 441 Everyone is a fool
Lin Yuyao had seen that man once before. He looked like a bandit, with a fierce face and a tall, burly build.
Of course, it would be a different story if Chen Bingzhi held the truth.
That evening, Lin Yuyao brought up the matter with Fu Huaiyi.
Do you think something bad might happen?
"What are you afraid of?"
“I saw that man once in Ye Family Village. He looked really fierce, like a ruthless person. Xiaotong ran away, which caused her whole family to be arrested and investigated. He must hold a grudge. Do you think he might do something extreme?”
She was worried that he might also be carrying a deadly weapon.
"Isn't that simple? Just wait, I'll talk to the police station tomorrow, and they'll search him thoroughly as soon as he gets off the train."
The next day, Lin Yuyao took Lin Ping back to school. He was quite worried that Ye Xiaotong's man would come looking for him, and repeatedly told Lin Yuyao to be careful.
“He’s a vicious man. You girls, don’t go up against him.”
"Do not worry."
"A barefoot person isn't afraid of someone wearing shoes; he's that barefoot person."
"Okay, okay, I got it. Go in now."
Once he's sent in, he won't be able to get out until May 1st.
I heard there will be a one-day holiday for May Day.
……
Fu Huaiyi received some good news.
After lunch, Wang Hua banged the stainless steel basin loudly.
It was lunchtime, and everyone was chatting in small groups.
Hearing the sound of Old Wang tapping the stainless steel plate, everyone stopped and looked at him.
"Stop arguing, I have some good news to announce."
Upon hearing the good news, everyone perked up.
"You've gotten a raise."
A raise?
Wages should have been increased anyway.
It's February, and we're getting paid January's salary. Shouldn't it be the case that salaries increase every year?
Well, it's a happy occasion nonetheless.
"Aren't you going to ask how much the price will increase?"
Everyone: "..."
Isn't it supposed to increase by 20 yuan a year? How much more can it increase?
Someone played along, timidly asking, "How much will it go up?"
Old Wang proudly held out one hand, "It's gone up so much."
Everyone gasped.
"A 50% increase?" someone asked in disbelief.
Old Wang laughed and nodded, "That's right, it'll increase by fifty, fifty for everyone."
A cheer immediately erupted from the crowd.
I originally thought it would increase by 20 as usual, but it increased by 50 instead.
Fifty yuan, including food and lodging. They can't possibly spend all fifty yuan in a month anyway.
This is a raise for a waiter's wages, how could everyone not be happy?
Looking at their youthful energy, Old Wang couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Then he shouted at them, "I fought for all of this for you! I wrote twelve letters to get you a raise..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was surrounded by a group of young men.
The children were so enthusiastic. They thought, "It's good to be happy about a raise, but there's no need for them to rush at him."
Old Wang was overjoyed, but then hurriedly said, "Wait, there's another piece of good news to announce."
Everyone stopped to listen to what he had to say.
In addition to salary, bonuses are also plentiful.
I promise you that if you complete the task, each of you will be rewarded with the equivalent of a large motorcycle at the end of the year.
He knew that these kids especially envied Fu Huaiyi's big motorcycle, and he wanted to make their efforts worthwhile so that everyone could buy a big motorcycle by the end of the year.
The crowd erupted in cheers as soon as he said this. A group of young men started lifting Old Wang up, some by his arms and others by his legs, and they lifted him up.
They all shouted "Long live Old Wang!"
Old Wang was pleased, thinking that the children were being a bit too enthusiastic.
How could an old man who is about to retire withstand such torment?
At first, it was fine when I held him up, but then I tossed him up in the air and he panicked.
"Hey, hey, stop! Stop it all! Put it down!"
The young men were too excited to listen to him.
Not only did they not put it down, they tossed it even higher.
"Come on, let's do it again, everyone give it a try!"
Old Wang turned pale with fright.
What's even more infuriating is that he seemed to hear "Long live the old king!" twice.
With a loud "poof," someone let out a fart, which was unusually loud.
Then someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Oh dear, Old Wang farted!"
"what……"
Everyone was disgusted with him, so they threw him on the ground and ran away.
Old Wang scrambled to his feet, utterly embarrassed. Those bastards must have done it on purpose.
"I'll kill that brat."
He clutched his back and chased after them, cursing under his breath.
We can't catch up with them, we can't catch up with any of them.
……
This year will still be very busy, which is why Lao Wang applied to his superiors for a raise.
The higher-ups considered that they used to work eight hours a day, but now they work more than ten hours a day, which is why they approved a larger increase.
We had an hour for dinner, and afterwards we gathered together to rest, where everyone discussed the possibility of a pay raise.
Yi Yunshuo calculated that he had enough to buy a house and said happily, "If the price increases by fifty, it will be two hundred and fifty."
He nudged the person next to him, "How much do you want?"
“I arrived two years earlier than you, so of course I’m more than just a fool.”
"Oh, that's great." He then asked the other, "And what about you?"
"I'm an idiot too."
"Jiang Ting, what about you?"
Lu Jiangting rolled his eyes at him. "I graduated in the same year as you, so of course I'm an idiot too."
"Alright, alright, we came together, we're all idiots."
"Brother Yi, your motorcycle cost five thousand, right?"
"Hmm, what's up? You want to buy it?"
"I'd like to buy it, but I'm too poor."
"You've saved up all your money, and you're still poor?"
“You’ll lose it all if you buy a house, and house prices are so high.” He glanced at Lu Jiangting and said, “I’m not like Jiangting. He’s a well-known poor household among us now. His qualifications gave him two or three times my points, and he’ll be able to get a house in just one or two years.”
There are too many monks and not enough porridge. Although the system says that they should be allocated houses, they have to wait.
There are plenty of people who work for over a decade and still can't get a spot.
Of course, the benefits here are good, so it's not worth waiting for more than ten years.
But these young men haven't been working for many years, so it's normal that they didn't get a spot.
In addition, the team is arranged using a points system.
How many points does a person normally score in a year?
Then, those who get married will receive an additional number of points.
How much extra money is there for couples who get married but don't own a house?
Those who are married but don't own a house and have children will receive extra points.
If parents come to stay with their children again, and they also don't own a house, they'll get extra points...
Lu Jiangting has all his buffs stacked up, so he gets a lot of points.
"Jiang Ting will be able to get an apartment this year, right?"
Lu Jiangting nodded and said, "Pretty much, by next year at the latest."
Yi Yunshuo said sarcastically, "Oh, I really envy you. You're so lucky."
Everyone cast envious glances at Lu Jiangting.
Lu Jiangting's smile froze.
Wait a minute, although allocating rooms is a good thing, as long as I'm envious, what does it mean to be truly blessed?
