Chapter 234 Bonus
It's almost six o'clock; Mom should be home by now.
Zhang Xiaoyu remembered that she had promised to send local specialties to everyone in the live broadcast room, so she decided to confirm it with her mother as soon as possible.
"Everyone, I need to call my mom." Zhang Xiaoyu waved her phone and looked at the others.
"Go ahead and fight, there's no need to talk about this."
Zhang Xiaoyu smiled and dialed the number, "I'm letting you know in advance so you won't be startled."
The call was answered quickly.
Zhang Xiaoyu: "Mom, are you off work? Are you home yet?"
"We're here! I also went to buy some groceries on the way."
After chatting with her mother for a while, Zhang Xiaoyu got down to business: "How many of those homemade sausages do we have left? I have a few friends who have helped me a lot recently, so I want to send them some local specialties to thank them."
"If we don't have enough at home, Mom, could you buy some for me? I think it tastes pretty good."
As Zhang Xiaoyu was talking, she suddenly thought of her roommates. Yiqing couldn't do it in the dorm, but Shiya and Yueling were locals, so she could take it home to do.
I'll ask them again later. We're already sending off so many people, so two more won't make a difference.
"How many people are you sending?" Zhang Xiaoyu counted again silently, "About a dozen or so."
Zhang Xiaoyu sensed her mother's surprise: "So many people?! You didn't cause any trouble, did you?"
Zhang Xiaoyu: "No, how could I possibly cause trouble? You've watched me grow up since I was a child, how could I possibly have the guts to cause trouble?"
"That's true, I know my daughter, you definitely won't cause trouble. We're running out of sausages, only enough for six or seven people. When are you going to send them? Let me see if I can make some more in time."
Zhang Xiaoyu: "In a few days, but no later than the 11th."
It will be more than a month after the 11th.
Although it wouldn't cause any problems, she still felt it was best not to exceed the limit.
"There's no time then. I'll go ask your grandma. She also likes to make sausages. When we run out, she still brings some over for you younger family members from time to time."
"Especially when we talk on the phone, she always makes sure to ask if you've had enough to eat. She knows you like sausages and she's thinking about you."
Zhang Xiaoyu thought of her maternal grandmother, who, along with her maternal grandfather, lived in the countryside.
Fortunately, they live in the same city and aren't too far apart. They farm a small plot of land in their rural hometown, are self-sufficient, and occasionally send some over.
The sausage-making skills her mother learned were taught to her by her maternal grandmother.
Zhang Xiaoyu: "I know. When I go back home for winter break, I will visit my grandparents."
They exchanged a few more words before hanging up.
Zhang Xiaoyu sent private messages to the other big brothers, including Zhan Shen Ge and Gu Dao Ge, who were not here today, to confirm whether they would eat and to count the number of people.
Oh, and the boss too.
Remembering what Yuan Zong taught her, she could ask the boss for some money first.
She'll give it a try.
[Biggest Fish: Is the boss there?]
Of course, she wouldn't just send that one message. Because she usually dislikes people sending a simple "Are you there?" and then nothing more.
While she was still typing, the other end replied incredibly fast!
[Boss: Hmm]
[Boss: Is there something you need?]
[biggest fish: Hmm, there's something I'd like to ask you for help with (kitten rolling around GIF)]
Looking at this emoji, the person on the other end was momentarily confused. Why does a fish like to send cat emojis so much?
[biggest fish: Boss, you know I'm still a student struggling financially~]
[Biggest Fish: My brother always pays my medical bills after every PK, and I feel really bad about it. So, boss, could you lend me some money?]
[Biggest Fish: I promise I'll pay you back as soon as I receive my salary!]
Actually, there were only a few days left until payday. She asked Liu Qingdai, who said that Xingguang would pay the streamers on the 5th of each month.
But if she continues to broadcast as usual these days, she will still have to participate in many PK battles.
[Biggest Fish: (Please, please, GIF)]
This time, the kitten stands up, clasps its paws together, and makes a bright, sparkling face.
Where did you store so many cute emojis?
[Boss: Okay]
Zhang Xiaoyu thought to herself, "My boss is actually pretty good. According to Boss Yuan, he's definitely going to make a lot of money in the future."
Then I looked closer and, holy crap! I lent her 50,000 yuan!
Medical expenses of 1 yuan a day? That's too much!
[Biggest Fish: Isn't that too much?]
[Boss: Take it.]
[Boss: You don't need to pay me back.]
Zhang Xiaoyu was about to say that she still had to pay it back, but when she saw the boss's next sentence, she felt a little complicated.
[Boss: Consider it a bonus.]
[Boss: Just keep working hard and let me earn it back.]
[Biggest Fish: Okay! I promise to work hard, let's make big money together!]
She also knows how to make empty promises to her boss.
Zhang Xiaoyu took a shortcut again and simply copied and pasted the question she had asked Zhan Shen Ge and the others about whether they liked sausages.
Boss: ...
Zhang Xiaoyu: Hmm? What does the ellipsis mean?
[Biggest Fish: What's wrong, boss?]
[Boss: It's nothing]
[Boss: Just send it to the company, that's fine xxxx]
[biggest fish: Received!]
[biggest fish: But it might take a few days]
[Boss: Hmm]
[Boss: May I ask something?]
[biggest fish: Sure, boss, what do you want to ask?]
Judging from the waves at the end, she must be in a good mood.
[Boss: If I don't lend you money, will you still send me local specialties?]
Zhang Xiaoyu felt a chill run down her spine. Could her boss be spying on her at work today?
She quickly composed herself and started typing away.
[Biggest Fish: These are two different things! Even if you don't lend me the money, I'll still send it to you!]
Since the matter was settled, Zhang Xiaoyu felt she shouldn't bother her boss any longer.
[Biggest Fish: Well, I won't disturb your work any longer, boss. I have other things to attend to now.]
[Boss: Hmm]
Zhang Xiaoyu saved the address in her memo, and then also received addresses from Yin Huang, Yuan Zong, Yan Zong, and User Brother, which she copied and saved.
After finishing these tasks, it was almost time, so Zhang Xiaoyu and her roommates left the dormitory and headed to the east gate of the school.
Zhang Xiaoyu exclaimed, "My boss is so nice, he actually gave me a bonus!"
Zhou Yueling exclaimed in surprise, "Really, Xiaoyu! Your boss is so generous!"
Chen Shiya nodded, "Xiaoyu, you've only been working for a month, and you've already received a bonus. Your boss is really good."
Xia Yiqing: "I'm so envious of bosses like that."
"Hehe, I originally just wanted to borrow some money from him... but in the end he said I didn't have to pay it back, and he gave it to me as a bonus! He told me to keep working hard in the future!"
Zhou Yueling: "This boss is quite good at winning over his employees~ But if it were me, I would also be willing to work hard!"
Zhang Xiaoyu nodded, and she would work hard in the future!
