Having social security from Beijing, when we’re old, the pension we receive will be much more than those elderly folks in the village, giving us a brighter outlook on life.
"Brother Jianjun, Sister-in-law Wenyan, no need to be overly formal, and don’t feel pressured at work."
"Since I’ve invited you two here, I’m sure you’ll be able to handle the work here."
Jiang Tao also greeted Jiang Jianjun and Yang Wenyan with a smile, his tone gentle yet maintaining a proper distance.
Hiring acquaintances has both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that everyone knows each other well, so it’s reassuring to employ them.
The disadvantage is that being too familiar can make managent difficult.
Therefore, maintaining a certain distance in work is quite necessary.
They exchanged a few courteous words at the office door, and Jiang Tao invited them into the office.
After chatting for a bit, Jiang Tao discussed so work and compensation issues with Jiang Jianjun and Yang Wenyan.
Just as he promised before, after deducting insurance and housing fund, the actual salary would not be less than 5000 yuan.
Jiang Jianjun and Yang Wenyan were extrely satisfied with the salary and had no objections at all.
"Xiao Qi, find so ti today to take your parents for a dical check-up."
"Also get the health certificate sorted."
Once they pass the dical check-up and have the health certificate, they can officially sign the employnt contract.
While everyone knows each other well, it’s still necessary to follow the required procedures during hiring.
Jiang’s Food Factory is a food company, so health certificates are essential, and Jiang Tao’s parents had them done too, without exceptions.
Furthermore, the pre-employnt dical check-up can’t be skipped either.
Better safe than sorry.
In case any occupational disease is discovered after employnt, it becos hard to explain.
It’s best not to test the limits of human nature!
The conversation went on till after 11 a.m.
Jiang Tao asked Jiang Jiaqi to find Jiang Bing for a withdrawal of 5000 yuan to take their parents for a dical check-up, health certificate, and to purchase living supplies.
There’s a container house in the courtyard area for accommodation.
In the future, Jiang Jianjun and Yang Wenyan will live here, while also taking care of night shift security at the food factory.
Besides the normal salary, Jiang Tao gives each of them an additional 1500 yuan as a standby allowance.
This way, they save on rent and earn more money upon arrival, a win-win situation.
Around 11:18 a.m., Jiang Tao bid farewell to Jiang Jianjun’s family and drove off in a large rcedes parked at the entrance.
"Jiang Tao has really made it big now..."
Watching the rcedes drive off, Jiang Jianjun turned to his wife and daughter, expressing sincere admiration.
"Indeed! It feels completely different now, he already has the deanor of a big boss."
Yang Wenyan nodded in agreent. In her eyes, Jiang Tao seed to have been transford, like a completely different person!
This is the result of Jiang Tao’s recent commitnt to exercise, leading to a dramatic improvent in his constitution.
It’s also associated with the intense sense of achievent and confidence brought by his rapid increase in wealth.
A confident man is most charming!
"Uncle Tao really seems like a different person now—much more handso and dignified!"
Jiang Jiaqi watched Jiang Tao drive off in the distance, her face showing a bit of infatuation.
"Oh, by the way, Mom and Dad, I have a major great news for you!"
"What good news?"
Jiang Jiaqi’s parents curiously looked at her.
Jiang Jiaqi said directly, "I heard from Grandpa Jiang Wen that Uncle Tao has developed a new barbecue sauce recipe and will be mass-producing it at the food factory."
"Um... is this really good news? And major?"
Jiang Jianjun was sowhat disappointed after hearing his daughter’s words—what kind of good news is this!
Yang Wenyan also looked at her daughter with confusion, not seeing the excitent in this news.
"Co on, Mom and Dad, think it through!"
Seeing her simple-minded parents, Jiang Jiaqi was at a loss.
"Think about it, how many people are currently in our factory?"
"Besides Uncle Tao, Grandpa Jiang Wen, Grandma Tian, and Aunt Jiang Bing, it’s just us as a small family."
"What does this suggest? It suggests Uncle Tao really values our family."
"In the future, if the factory adds new production lines for other products, they will certainly need to hire more workers."
"At that ti, we would be the veteran employees of the company, wouldn’t promotions and pay raises be within reach?"
The more Jiang Jiaqi spoke, the more excited she beca, as if she could already picture herself becoming an executive, earning tens of thousands monthly, and buying a car and house in Beijing.
"Your mom and I don’t know anything, we’re just workers, not suited to be leaders."
Jiang Jianjun shook his head, retreating even before trying.
Like Jiang Tao’s uncle, Tian Xiaoguang, he struggled in the lower crust of society for decades and had long been worn out by life.
He had long accepted his diocrity and was content with it.
If soone assigns him so ready tasks, guides him on how to do them, he can accomplish them well.
But leading others—just the thought of it gives him a headache.
Yang Wenyan echoed:
"Your dad is right, one should learn contentnt, according to their abilities."
Your Uncle Tao gives and your dad such good treatnt, we’re already very satisfied.
You young people have plenty of future opportunities and strong learning abilities.
Qiqi, you must perform well and strive for your Uncle Tao to see you in a new light, perhaps even promote you."
"..."
Listening to her parents, Jiang Jiaqi let out a bitter smile internally and didn’t persuade them further.
Everyone has their own ambitions.
Her parents’ personalities are hard to change in a short period, it’s not easy to alter their perspectives.
