Protagonist:

Lin Yi

A new day, the sun rose from the east, just showed its head, then was instantly covered by dark clouds, the bright sky immediately turned gloomy, looking like it could rain at any moment.

Dark clouds covered the sky, but a group of workers at Xiaomi Heavy Industry were all in high spirits.

Because today the Boss was paying salaries!

Paying 8 months of salary!

8 months!

Moreover, the salary settlement time only goes until the end of this month, this year's New Year is in February, meaning before the New Year they could even get an extra month's salary.

Counting the extra three-plus months of salary, going home this year, they could even buy a cheaper used car.

As long as they washed the car clean and drove it home, even eating in their village they could sit at the head table!

To pay salaries, the Boss was very considerate and stopped today's work, and specially had the canteen grind soy milk, placed in the square in front of the Office Building for everyone to take freely.

Thus, over 100 workers just squatted on the ground, holding soy milk cups in their hands, drinking while looking eagerly at the Door.

Looking forward, looking forward, the Accountant came, the footsteps of paying salaries drew near.

The workers opened their eyes, the clouds in the sky brightened, and their moods also brightened.

Under the gazes of these workers, Ji Shuangshuang brought people from the Security Section to protect several bank staff in the middle, and among the several bank staff in the middle was the money withdrawn this time, and a bill-counting machine.

A full 8 boxes.

One box 1 million.

When Ji Shuangshuang and the others walked to the front of the Office Building, Lin Yi also came down from upstairs, both sides stood firm in front of the Office Building, then together looked outside the Office Building, looked at the workers.

Lin Yi still carried a Microphone in his hand, waved his hand, had someone open the boxes holding money, placed them in a row on the ground, then he picked up the Microphone and shouted loudly:

"Everyone, I, Lin, keep my word."

"Today I won't do anything else, just pay salaries. You didn't abandon me when I, Lin, was down on my luck, so I, Lin, will return kindness for kindness. I said 8 months of salary, so it's 8 months of salary."

"After you receive your salary, you can directly handle deposits with these bank staff here."

"No need to take cash back home, and no need to worry about thieves eyeing it."

"Now line up by height, by workshop. Whoever doesn't line up will be the last to receive."

"Shuangshuang, pay!"

Red-orange banknotes in the boxes, so cute, so charming.

Under the threat of the last person to receive money, the originally messy crowd immediately became orderly, at the fastest speed, first divided by workshop, then by height order, lined up into neat queues.

This queue was even neater than when primary and middle school students do exercises.

The queue slowly moved forward. Every person who walked in front of Ji Shuangshuang carefully looked at the Attendance Sheet in front of Ji Shuangshuang, carefully checked, then happily took the money and left.

When passing by Lin Yi's side, these workers happily counting banknotes would also suddenly bow to Lin Yi:

"Thank you Boss, thank you Boss for paying two extra months of salary, this year we can have a fat New Year."

"Thank you Boss, I want to go home!"

"Thank you Boss, by the way, when do we get a holiday?"

"Boss, next year I want to bring a few relatives from home to come over, is that okay?"

"Boss……"

Amid one greeting after another, the gazes of those aunties who received money looking at Lin Yi were full of satisfaction.

If only this were their own family.

Pity, the children at home are useless, not worthy.

Facing everyone's expectant gazes, Lin Yi raised his hand to make a pause gesture. After the voices completely quieted down, he picked up the Microphone and said:

"The matter of holidays is still far off. Moreover, if you work one more month, you can get one more month's money. Playing mahjong when you go home, you can play a few more hands."

"Next year our Factory will hire workers. If any of you have relatives, especially those you trust more, who are capable and smart, you can bring them over."

"Today, everyone has received money. Just rest well. Save what should be saved, spend what should be spent. Don't let thieves eye it."

"Go get busy!"

The workers got the answer they wanted, so they no longer paid attention to Lin Yi. They turned their heads, continued to find a Corner to squat down, and then 【held】 the banknotes in their hands.

The red 100-yuan bills just taken from the Bank still emitted a faint fragrance of ink. No creases. Holding them in hand felt somewhat stiff, but when fingers counted them, there would be a rustling sound.

This sound was especially pleasant to the ear, clear, nice to hear.

After strolling around for One Circle and finding really nothing to do, Lin Yi quietly and soundlessly came to Ji Shuangshuang's side, squatted Beside, and watched Ji Shuangshuang pay salaries.

Still, his own wife looked more pleasing to the eye.

The salary-paying work lasted from morning until afternoon. After paying the last person's salary, Ji Shuangshuang closed the Attendance Sheet, put the remaining money into the boxes, then threw the boxes to Lin Yi. Only then did she lean on the table, eyes brimming with tears, looking at Lin Yi:

"Boss, the salaries are all paid."

Having gotten along with Ji Shuangshuang for decades in his previous life, Lin Yi was very familiar with this girl's little tricks.

This action of eyes brimming with tears was actually seeking praise, wanting something.

Lin Yi naturally leaned against the table, arms crossed over his chest, tilting his head, and seriously asked: "Then what reward do you want?"

"Mm——" Ji Shuangshuang leaned on the table, shaking her ponytail, showing a conflicted look, as if she wanted too many things and found it hard to choose.

After humming for a long time, that conflicted smiling face suddenly turned cold, as if she had made up her mind.

She raised her head, opened her mouth: "On Christmas Eve and Christmas, I want to go out and play."

"Okay! We'll go together then." Lin Yi didn't hesitate at all, directly nodding in agreement.

「Huh? 」

Ji Shuangshuang blinked blankly, wearing an expression of not having heard clearly; Lin Yi was just about to explain when Han Shunfa, who had left not long ago after receiving his salary, came running over with a complete lack of tact:

「Boss, that Middle Eastern customer who came by earlier is looking for you. 」

Crack!

Lin Yi cracked his knuckles, then gritted his teeth and followed Han Shunfa behind him, step by step toward the factory door.

With every step, his anger grew more intense.

In the guardhouse, Ahmed, dressed all in a black suit, sat on a chair, smiling as he watched people pass by the doorway, and whenever someone cast their gaze toward him, he smiled and nodded in greeting.

He looked like an idiot.

Walking up to this guy, Lin Yi shook his fist, as big as a clay pot, in front of Ahmed and threatened viciously:

「You brat, you'd better have something when you come looking for me; if it's something unimportant, then you can die here today. 」

Before him, Ahmed smiled at another passerby; after the other ran off with a surprised face, he stood up, first smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes, then adjusted his tie, and only then placed his hand on his chest and bowed to Lin Yi.

After finishing the courtesy, he continued to say with a smile:

「This time I came mainly to present a letter of allegiance to you, Mr. Lin, and to the people behind you. 」

「The matter is rather sudden; please don't mind, Mr. Lin. 」
