"Unconsciously, it's the seventh day of the first lunar month. The seven-day holiday has passed in the blink of an eye, and I have to go to work again tomorrow."
Xi Yangyang's first movie "Night Club" has not yet completed post-editing and production. Their goal has never been the Spring Festival but the Shanghai Film Festival in June. Therefore, the Kang family's Spring Festival in 2005 was as usual, not much different from previous years. On the evening of the seventh day of the lunar month, Ayao suddenly sighed while reading the newspaper.
"You are a person like you who is blessed with no blessings. You have been off for seven days and you still complain." The second sister-in-law glared at him speechlessly and said, "It's hard for us to do enough for seven days." Be like a dog." The noodle shop of the boss Guang Xianglan, the tea restaurant of the second brother, the clothing store of the second sister-in-law Zhang Yongfang, and the confinement center of Xingzi did not take a break during the New Year.
"Second sister-in-law, you are really good at joking. I will go out and distribute profit and money everywhere. How happy are you to collect money while sitting in the office without having to work?" Ayao said.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, the second guy pointed at A Yao and said: "Did you hear that? What do you mean, rich people say that if they are rich, they will distribute profits everywhere. Remember to give me a message when you go out tomorrow The boy and the girl each sent a letter of good fortune.”
"Wow wow wow? I will listen to you for the rest. You really know how to joke about this." Ayao looked at the second brother speechlessly and said: "On the first day of the new year, Sachiko and I gave all the money to Tianxiu Tianyou. Siqi Siyu Paul, I won’t talk about the others. I sent you two letters and you only sent one to me. You still want me?”
“Who told you to get a girl?” 2 The guy made a joke, and then said with a serious face: "Do you understand the two natures? The first day of the Lunar New Year is the beginning of the new year, and tomorrow the eighth day of the Lunar New Year is the beginning of the new year."
A Yao had no choice but to deal with the two guys. Agree. Sachiko said: "By the way, husband, you have to go to work tomorrow. Are you ready for the start-up bonus?"
"Start-up bonus" is a custom in Guangdong and Hong Kong, and is also used by It is called "benefiting the market", "benefiting things" and "stimulating things". Generally, on the day when work starts after the Spring Festival, employees pay New Year greetings to their bosses, the boss distributes Lisee to employees, leaders distribute Lisee to subordinates, and married people distribute Lisee to unmarried people.
Bosses usually give out one or two hundred yuan, while bosses and married people usually give out a small amount of profit, about ten yuan, just as a token of good luck. But everything is about accumulating a little, and many people can earn thousands of dollars just by collecting work profits.
"It has been prepared for a long time. Aunt Song, Xiao Yun and the others, I have prepared five letters, which is enough." A Yao said, counting on his fingers.
"Five letters? Is it a little less?" Sachiko asked doubtfully. She felt that they were not short of money and there was no need to be so lonely. The second sister-in-law also had the same view. She said to Lao Dou: "Master, he has your inheritance, and he is lonely and cold!"
Lao Dou did not expect that this could also affect him. The sister-in-law said, "You are so serious. Don't even say anything." Then he ignored the second sister-in-law and looked at Ayao and said, "Ayao, seriously, you have just been promoted to an official. They will congratulate you. You have five letters." Profit is not enough. Congratulations, you have to give me some congratulations, otherwise they will say you are not doing anything good!” Just say that you are not good for the market and will not do anything for you, and you will tear it apart like a chicken with your hands." The second guy also tried to persuade me.
A Yao thought for a while and felt that what everyone said made sense, so he took Sachiko back to the room to prepare the red envelope. After sealing about dozens of envelopes, Sachiko stopped and frowned and said: "There are no new banknotes. I have opened my daughter's red envelopes and used all the new banknotes. Do you still have any?"
"Aren't the old and new bills the same? They are all good money, it doesn't matter, just wrap them." A Yao took the old bills and continued wrapping them with an indifferent expression. "Why are they the same? Old banknotes will be said to be careless, and the new ones look more comfortable." Sachiko thought for a while, and had an idea: "Your nephews and branches must have a lot of new banknotes. , Why don’t you change with them?”
“That’s okay,” Ayao agreed and went out to call Tianxiu Tianyousi Qi Siyu to his room. He didn’t call Paul because he was only a little over a year old. Paul’s red envelopes are all in the hands of Azu Diana. After Ayao told everyone about the banknote exchange, Tianyou agreed immediately.
However, Tianxiu rolled his eyes, pulled his brothers and sisters behind him, and then said: "It's not that we don't want to change, but let me explain in advance that your one hundred yuan old banknote can only be exchanged for my eighty yuan." "
Ayao and Xingzi were stunned. After a while, Ayao said: "You don't want to exchange some new banknotes with you? You want all this. "Eat Sanshu water?"
"This is not called drinking water." Tianxiu shook his head and argued: "This is called equivalent exchange. If the old banknotes are exchanged for the new banknotes at a ratio of 1:1, then the old banknotes will be replaced by the old banknotes." How is the difference in value reflected? So the old banknotes are discounted.”
Xingzi patted Tianxiu's arm and said angrily: "My dear, your younger brother has to change with us just now. Do you have to do this?" "My younger brother is younger, he doesn't think about things so comprehensively. I As a boss, you can't just watch him suffer without saying anything," Tianxiu said righteously, "Are you going to change now? If you don't, I will take them back to sleep."
"Excuse me, do you want this? Even my third uncle is playing." Ayao glared at him, and finally agreed to Tianxiu's request. Tianxiu successfully helped everyone's profit margin increase a lot, and received countless admiring looks from Siqi Siyu Tianyou.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Kang Qirui’s main task is also to develop labor benefits. Ruhao Tea Restaurant office and its directly-operated branches, clothing company’s office and its own branches, Xiyangyang Film and Television Company, and confinement center. After running around, although many people did not start work on the eighth day of the lunar month, the boss Kang Qirui started work on the first day, and he should be entitled to the work bonus.
When he was about to leave after delivering the money at the confinement center, Sachiko suddenly ran out of the office and stopped him. He looked at Sachiko doubtfully. Sachiko said anxiously: "Arui, do you have any loose papers?"
"Loss of paper? What are you doing here? Just now I saw that you gave everyone a red packet." Kang Qirui asked doubtfully, and then said: "I don't have any loose paper. They are all worth 100 yuan." "Kang Qirui received a uniform payment of 100 yuan when he started working, and all companies combined paid more than 100,000 yuan. Of course, this was not paid by him personally, but from the company's account.
"It's not me, it was Ah Yao who called me and said that even after he distributed the two hundred red envelopes, he still didn't have enough. He asked me to send him another hundred pieces of loose paper worth ten yuan." Sachiko said. His face hurt and he said helplessly.
"Two hundred letters have been sent, but we still need to prepare a hundred more?" Kang Qirui was dumbfounded after hearing this. He was stunned for a while and then said: "I remember he said before that their entire unit is only He plans to send two to three hundred people to the entire unit? He is only a deputy director and not the director. Is it so exaggerated to send the entire unit?”
And Ayao has been promoted this time. The number of management personnel has not increased, and the number of people who manage the administrative department and offices are not as many as when he was in the labor union. Can't he just send a group of colleagues from their department at most? He thinks he is the director and everyone in the unit has a share?
Sachiko was also furious, but there was nothing she could do. Although she has a strong personality, she has always been very protective of A Yao's face in front of outsiders. When Kang Qirui said no, she said hello and went to the clothing store to find her second sister-in-law.
Of course, the clothing store had plenty of loose paper during the New Year period, but the more it had, the more it could be used. The second sister-in-law only gave Sachiko fifty pieces worth ten yuan, and asked her to get the rest from Ruhao. When Xingzi rushed to Ruhao, she saw Director Zhao eating on the first floor. She went up to the office area on the second floor and came to the second brother's office. She was not in a hurry to change loose papers, but asked: "Second brother, the fat man downstairs." How long has it been since the director came?”
“Director Zhao?” The second guy recalled it and said, “Anyway, he was here when Arui came to Paili in the morning, and he has been sitting there for at least a few hours. "
"How many hours have you been sitting?" Xingzi frowned when he heard this and shook his head and said: "Brother, I won't change the loose paper now, I'm leaving now. "The second guy nodded and continued working without thinking too much.
After Xingzi came downstairs, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he went to the kitchen to find Gillian and told her that Director Zhao was very generous. Whenever a child greeted him and wished him a happy New Year, he would give out a big red envelope of 100 yuan. Gillian thought she didn't have any more work to do, so she went home and brought her five Huagulongs to Director Zhao to wish him New Year greetings. Each of the five Huagulongs gave him a New Year's greeting.
But Director Zhao was very stubborn. He first pretended to be asleep, and after being discovered, he pretended that the phone was ringing and the signal in the tea restaurant was not good and he could not hear what was said on the other side, so he walked out of Ruhao Tea. Dining room. "This fat guy is so lonely. He deserves to have a child without an asshole." Gillian angrily cursed at his fleeing back.
Sachiko came to A Yao's work and told A Yao about Director Zhao not going to work to avoid giving out money. He said with a surprised look on his face: "Isn't it? This is okay?"
"What's wrong? Huh? People are hiding and eating delicious food, so you just pretend to be generous and give money to others until 13 o'clock." Xingzi didn't know whether he was scolding Ayao or Director Zhao, but Ayao didn't hear it anyway. .
"My wife, are you mistaken? Director, he may just be socializing with others in the tea restaurant." A Yao knows how to brainwash himself. Sachiko glared at him and said: "Who is your director? Whether he is entertaining others or others are entertaining him, would he choose a place like a tea restaurant? He is obviously hiding to avoid giving out money and is looking for you as a shield. La."
"There's nothing we can do about it, who is the director?" Ayao also looked helpless. What could he do if he was killed by a senior official?
"Then there's no need to pack so much?" Sachiko still couldn't understand Ayao, she said, "You're not the director. If the director distributes red packets to everyone in the unit, that's a public account. The money you distribute to everyone in the unit comes from our wallets.”
Ayao thought for a while and felt that what Sachiko said made sense, so he agreed: "I know my wife. In short, he is unkind and unjust to me. I won't be so stupid this afternoon, and I won't send anyone."
But as soon as he finished speaking, a group of people came outside to wish him New Year greetings. Ayao was so frightened that he immediately jumped up and pulled Sachiko to find a place to hide. (End of this chapter)
