Chapter 1946: The Happiest Moment is Receiving Bonuses

However, it was useless.

The Mistress of Liu's Family was unwilling to even see Jiang Fengshou. He could only seize the opportunity during the annual report of the various managers to meet with her.

After listening to him, the Mistress had a disdainful expression. She said he was being unrealistic, impractical, and accused him of trying to get money from her.

Jiang Fengshou's fervor was crushed to almost nothing after a few encounters.

He was regretful that the Liu family didn't trust him. However, they didn't fire him either, just asking him to manage the grocery store properly and quietly.

Among the many industries of the Liu family, the grocery store was just a small and inconspicuous shop. They didn't expect any great achievements, only that it shouldn't cause any trouble and should make some money.

Nevertheless, over the years, Jiang Fengshou turned the original small grocery store into two large ones.

But things were different now. The enthusiasm he had lost in his twenties had reignited. He wanted to work well for the county Princess, expand the shop, not only by opening more in Changjin Prefecture but also branching out in other places in the future.

Moreover, the county Princess was approachable and receptive to others' opinions.

"Alright, everything that needs to be said has been said. Now it's time to distribute the bonuses. According to the rules, everyone will receive a bonus of one or two silver coins. If business goes well at the end of the month, there might be more. Jiang Fengshou, who played the most significant role this time, will receive two silver. Any objections?"

Shu Yu's words brought Jiang Fengshou back to reality. He widened his eyes, "Me, two silver?"

"Of course, I've said that if you perform well, I won't treat you unfairly." Last time during the opening in Dong'an Prefecture, due to plans like the lottery and children's songs, since she came up with them, Wei Ronghua, the shopkeeper, received the same bonus as the others.

This time was different. Jiang Fengshou truly deserved credit.

Jiang Fengshou was delighted. The boss was indeed generous. If this happened a few more times, he could even buy a house near Fu Yuan Street. Then he could move out with his wife and children, away from his greedy elder brother and sister-in-law who were always thinking of sucking his blood.

Da Niu and the others had been through this before, so they were quite calm.

However, it was the first time for Zhou Tiedong and Li Rongman. Their eyes lit up, and for a moment, they didn't know where to put their hands and feet.

Was a bonus of one or two silver coins too generous?

Zhou Tiedong was fine since he had recently received some money from the Chen family. His finances were relatively comfortable now.

Li Rongman, on the other hand, was excited. He hadn't even married yet, and now he not only had a steady job but also received so much bonus on the first day of work. If he saved up a bit more, he could afford the betrothal gifts.

Without delay, Shu Yu distributed the money to everyone. Everyone was exhausted after a busy day.

Waving her hand, she said, "Alright, it's getting late. We need to work tomorrow. Go back and rest."

One by one, the people got up and left. They didn't need to clean up the dishes on the table. Meng Yunzheng had already made arrangements with the restaurant. In about fifteen minutes, they would come to clean up and take the plates back.

Except for Li Rongman, who was staying in the back courtyard of the shop, the others left separately.

Meng Yunzheng sent Shu Yu and the others back first. After a brief conversation, he left with Meng Qi.

After all, the house rented from the Lu family wasn't very large. If all three boys were here, it might not be enough space.

It was fortunate that the three boys hadn't returned yet, leaving some room available.
