Chapter 1558

~8 min read 1,506 words

Who wouldn't be happy about triple wages?!

The Song family doesn't have a two-day weekend, but there is a four-day flexible leave every month.

There is a three-day flexible leave for the May Day holiday, and the same for the Dragon Boat Festival.

The security team is basically all from out of town, so they often save up their leave to go home for a few days or just go out to play.

After staying in the village for a long time, there are really no extra expenses, and the amount that can be saved every month is very gratifying; the biggest expense is probably just drawing cards in games.

After all, the Song family now even has work clothes for farm work, though wearing them is not mandatory.

And the daily routine in the mountains is exceptionally healthy; after 9 PM, basically no one wanders outside, and everyone gets up one after another at five or six in the morning; no one misses breakfast.

With such a healthy routine that fits the rhythm of life, and since the laborious farm work isn't every day, everyone really feels like they have come here to nourish their health.

Eating three full meals a day, sometimes they get a craving, but their stomachs can't hold much, so they do something else to shift their attention, and it passes.

The wages here are neither high nor low, but they are truly savings that can be kept, which is really reassuring.

Take the guy who had his stomach cut, he used to earn ten or twenty thousand, sometimes even more, a month. But with a wide network, heavy social obligations, plus eating, drinking, rent, and utilities, what he could save every month was really pathetic.

He finally saved two or three hundred thousand, but then he had the stomach surgery; even with medical insurance reimbursement, he still had to bear many convalescent drugs and the cost of stomach-nourishing items he couldn't help but search for online due to anxiety.

When he came to Yunqiao Village, he actually only had one hundred thousand yuan left in his pocket, exchanged for half his life.

And now, picking vegetables earns over a thousand a month, and by picking tea or doing other things during the day, he can easily make three or four thousand in wages every month.

Sounds very low, right?

But apart from his phone plan, underwear, and daily necessities, he can't spend a single cent—oh, because he likes to tease the Big Orange family, he bought a cat teaser wand for 6.9 yuan at his own expense.

This is still with him focusing on health; if he were as diligent as the self-study girl, he would already have a fixed 5,000 a month!

He can save 4,500 of this 5,000, and he doesn't need to budget carefully at all; it's just money left over! What a huge surprise this is for the self-study girl!

Every cent earned can be truly saved, which makes everyone more proactive about making money. Therefore, as soon as the triple wages for the Dragon Boat Festival were mentioned, everyone eagerly signed up.

Anyway, even if they were working outside, they wouldn't be able to go home for that one or two days of flexible leave during the Dragon Boat Festival.

It makes no difference!

Finance officer Gao Xin and copywriter She Min have been busy working on the upcoming online store materials and updating those rough links from before, and now they are a bit hesitant:

"We told our families we are working in the village, but they aren't very happy and aren't very reassured... We are planning to go back for the Dragon Boat Festival to see them."

Yun Duo didn't hesitate: "Sure! We have Dragon Boat Festival gifts and red envelopes, so we can just give them out in advance!"

The Dragon Boat Festival gift is 5 small packs of tea, one watermelon, and two jin of frozen pork (specially kept from the last pig slaughter).

You can sell them yourself (the top-ranked fan takes everything), or you can directly convert them into a 666 yuan red envelope.

Gao Xin didn't hesitate: "Sell it to the top-ranked fan!"

He offers 1000 yuan!

She Min shook her head: "I want to bring it to my parents. I plan to pay Master Jiang to make that meat into braised pork, and I'll freeze it and bring it back. I see the security team doing that."

Pre-made food isn't great, but what's made here is really delicious! It's also very convenient to carry and ship.

Gao Xin was instantly conflicted: That's right! Such delicious food...

Yun Duo smiled: "That's your own stuff, do as you please—by the way, we might take a group photo in a while, and we will also hire a professional photographer for individual portraits; they will look very good. If you have clothes you want to wear, remember to prepare them in advance."

She Min became shy: "Are you organizing that matchmaking event?"

Yun Duo shook her head: "Yes and no. Taking good photos is, of course, to get more opportunities for our employees at the matchmaking event. But this is voluntary; if you don't want to participate, just don't take the photo."

She smiled: "I'm not participating; I don't want to find a partner right now, but many of the security guards are single, and they are very proactive."

"Anyway, the boss is paying, so why not take it."

Once this was said, the two newly graduated college students couldn't help but exclaim: "Yun Duo, you have grown so much."

Yun Duo thought to herself, hasn't she!

Song Tan is a tolerant and casual boss.

Casual means that no matter the size of the task, she dares to hand it over to her.

From small things like spending money to big things like running errands for procedures.

The tasks handed to her were all things she had never been exposed to, and her previous work experience was basically useless now.

She had to check information every day and ask seniors everywhere to get every task done. At the same time, there were the elder sister's earnest instructions and the few words of guidance from the little village secretary...

At this moment, if she were asked to arrange the physical examination again, it would be a matter of course, completely unlike the nervousness and anxiety from before.

Therefore, she also sighed: "I have already become Niohuru Yun Duo."

Once this was said, Gao Xin thought about the things he had been running around for, and couldn't help but say:

"Although I didn't enter a big company or work in a proper office building, I feel like I've accumulated so much rich work experience!"

Only She Min, as a social phobic who doesn't want to deal with the workplace, is extremely satisfied with her work and life at the moment.

Every day she only needs to take photos, edit pictures, write copy, revise copy, post links, and maintain customers through the internet...

There are no KPIs, even the revision suggestions are very clear, and there is no workplace culture at all.

Although her interpersonal skills haven't been exercised, she already feels happy.

Chatting is chatting, but Yun Duo didn't forget the business, and at this moment she took out her memo to record: "There are 3 days of holiday for the Dragon Boat Festival, plus 4 days of flexible leave. When do you plan to start your leave? How many days?"

Both of them are from the same province; one is closer to Yuncheng, and the other is a bit further, but even for the furthest one, it only takes two hours by high-speed rail to get home.

Although the Dragon Boat Festival is a statutory holiday, buying tickets is not as tight as May Day, so they didn't hesitate: "Let's take five days off."

"Can we start our leave on June 8th?" Two days before the Dragon Boat Festival.

"Why wouldn't that be okay?" Yun Duo even persuaded them: "There are holidays in these two months, so take as many as you want. It's not that busy, so we can spare the manpower. It might be busier in July, August, and September."

"Oh, by the way," she asked again: "On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, after everyone is done with work, we will gather to eat and wrap zongzi. The food is from the boss's house, and after eating on the day, everyone gets 12 zongzi."

"If the boss has the materials for the zongzi, we use the boss's; for things like red bean paste that aren't in season, we'll swap them for better ones on the market..."

"Do you need me to freeze these 12 for you separately? Or should I ship them out?"

What?! There's even food from the boss's house!

Gao Xin and She Min immediately changed their tune: "Then I want to take leave tomorrow and come back before the Dragon Boat Festival, is that okay?"
