Please make money.

"Master, are you busy?" Alia came over leisurely. When the truck was unloading, the driver usually watched from the side, so she came over to join in the fun.

"Ah, waiting for the unloading..."

"Okay, okay, is there enough food? Is it hot? Come on, come on, have a cigarette!"

Alia turned around and rummaged through Mr. Sun's body, pulling out a cigarette box: "Confiscate it! You promised your wife to quit smoking! I heard from my aunt!"

Mr. Sun could only raise his hands helplessly: "Okay, quit, you can quit, she even found an ally, I finally have an excuse to go to work, hey——"

But what can we do?

That is to say, if his son were to pick his pocket now, Mr. Sun would just kick him.

But when Alia picked his pocket, he wondered if he should have had a baby too...

Ailia distributed Mr. Sun's cigarettes to the masters, and squatted aside without any grace, asking questions in a roundabout way.

Those who know her are just curious, but those who don’t know where this official figure who is inspecting people’s livelihood came from?

After a while, Alia patted her skirt and said, "Everyone, enjoy your food and drinks. If you don't have enough, tell the warehouse manager and you can take as much as you want."

When he turned around, Mr. Sun knew that the eldest lady was going to spend money again.

"The lounge, the kind with beds, is divided into two groups. One group should have special cigarette lighters and ashtrays, as experienced drivers are all smokers. The other group should also be non-smoking, so if you want to rest or don't smoke, you can take a nap or stay overnight."

Supermarket freight has never been divided into day and night. A large number of vehicles come to deliver goods before dawn. After all, they have to open for business and replenish stocks during the day, and they are busy with these things at night.

Ailia left a rest area for them, which seemed reasonable to Mr. Sun. Some of the drivers were even employees of the Ai Group's transportation and logistics department, their own people.

"Okay, I remember it."

"Let's buy a few first. I remember we have container-type ones too. I've seen them at the construction site before. Bring a few over here. If they are real, we can load them all at once this time."

"Okay, these are just small matters. I'll have someone do it right away."

"As for food, the time for materials to arrive is uncertain during this period. Let the food city on the third floor open a special area to provide hot meals and hot dishes 24 hours a day. The workers also need to eat, so don't charge them - and let the employees eat too, so that you don't have to worry about not doing a good job and making mistakes."

"Well, I'll go eat it myself and keep an eye on them!"

The two returned to the supermarket, and in just one or two days, the interior of the supermarket had changed drastically.

The workers who entered the site were dismantling many of the furnishings on the first floor because this area was to be set up as a rest area.

The store manager was watching nearby, discussing something. When he saw Alia coming, he trotted over and said, "Miss, the former tenant on the first floor wants to see you."

"Looking for me? What do you want from me?"

"This rest area used to have tenants, and they also had a counter..."

"Didn't he pay the penalty for breach of contract and double the rent? Still not enough? Then I will sue him!"

Alia stiffened her neck and said, "I mean well, but I am not a ?, and you dare to take advantage of me? !

"That's not the case—well, you better meet her."

As they were talking, a few people seemed to have noticed Alia and hurried over.

"Miss Ai! Is it Miss Ai?"

"…It's me. Who are you?"

"We are tenants! We used to have a counter here in the atrium!"

"Oh... Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm sorry that we can't continue to fulfill our contract. This renovation has indeed affected your business, but double the rent is the greatest sincerity we can offer."

"No, no, no! That's not what I meant. We just want to ask, can you, the supermarket, change the lease for us? Even a different storefront is fine! We don't need to pay for breach of contract."

"Huh?" Alia was stunned. What kind of operation was this?

You have used the best location on the first floor, the atrium that can be seen as soon as you enter the door, as a rest area. Why don't you recognize your true identity as a prodigal and run away, but still want to get on this pirate ship that is leaking everywhere?

Alia’s first reaction was that it was a fraud, and her second reaction was what could this be a fraud?

Seeing her puzzled look, the other party thought for a moment and lowered his voice and said, "Well, Miss Ai, I won't hide it from you. Mr. Guo of Yixun Precision is my relative. He highly respects you and thinks that the transformation of the supermarket is a big move. It will definitely improve the business situation and make money in the future. I'm used to doing the work here. I don't know what to do after I give up the lease, so I was thinking whether we can discuss it a little bit..."

Only then did Ailia realize that it was Boss Guo who brought you here.

Of course, path dependence after being used to this job is probably an important reason.

After getting used to running such a small business, it is difficult to adapt to doing something else with the money. The same is true for many retired elderly people.

"Yes, it is possible, but there is a small problem. That is, we may have to modify the leasing model in the future. We plan to change the stores in the supermarket into a separate model instead of simply renting and property fees..."

This made the elder sister feel very disappointed. I really want to work here, but you want to steal my money?!

After hesitating for a long time, the eldest sister forced out a stiff expression: "I-I'll think about it again, think about it, okay?"

"Sure. If you have any questions, you can contact the store manager. If you want to rent it, you will be considered a new tenant after the renovation and will receive a discount."

"...Okay, okay, thank you very much."

……

……

"Honey, the first line of the new production line is about to be put into operation!"

"This is a good thing, why are you frowning?"

"But the employees are not very happy about it. They think it's tiring to work overtime again."

“I don’t feel tired if I work by piece!”

"...Several engineers are leaving too, and I don't think they can stay."

"If you want a raise, then give them a raise if they have real talent. Give them 10,000 a month and see if they'll stay."

"No, honey, why do you sound like a young lady when you talk like that?"

"Why do you sound like a young lady? I said that after you came back, you always calculated your expenses and were stingy. You are not as generous and straightforward as before. Is that reasonable?"

Mrs. Lu was unhappy. She herself was born into a generous prairie girl. When her family made 18 million, her husband did not act like a capitalist.

Things have changed now. Big orders, big projects, and production lines are about to be launched. Money is about to pour in, and we are worried about the gains and losses.

"I have to remind you, Lao Guo, when the Ai Group owed us money, those old employees didn't just run away. They were all experienced and skilled workers. If you lose their morale, you won't be able to handle any big orders. You might even have to pay back whatever you earn!"

"No, this new production line has a very high production capacity!"

“No matter how advanced the production line is, the final assembly and shipment still requires manual labor! You are putting the cart before the horse! People are not screws on the assembly line, they are the backbone of your factory! Unless you can develop a fully automatic production line that does not require any workers, you have to negotiate the salary with them honestly and keep them!”

"You don't understand! Oh, it's not like that, I—"

"What do you mean by 'I'? Believe it or not, I will beat you up!"

"..." Boss Guo rubbed his face, seeming to have cooled down a little from his recent high spirits.

Look, look, when you can’t explain the logic, you start talking about physics. Is that reasonable?

The two fell into silence. Boss Guo was a little dissatisfied, but he had no reason to convince his wife.

Just at this moment the phone rang. He picked it up quickly as if he had found a way out, dialed the number and turned on the speakerphone very directly.

I have a clear conscience! I am doing this for the good of our family!

"Hello? Aunt, what's going on?"

"Xiao Liu, I have something to ask you - are you busy now? Is there anyone around you?"

"At home, what's so mysterious?"

"Hey, it's not mysterious, I'm just afraid that you might offend someone... That Ai Group, that one called Alia, I feel, is not very reliable!"

As soon as these words came out, Boss Guo subconsciously looked at his wife, who sat up straight and looked serious.

There is no doubt that Mr. and Mrs. Guo are very "respectful" to Alia. This respect not only comes from the money given by the other party, but also from the other party's attitude and courage.

Although they were dragged into a rather scary gray area due to a small accident, didn’t Alia work hard to rescue the two of them?

No matter how much you blame others, those things can only be blamed on the criminals, not on the young lady.

The eldest aunt started to talk about her own affairs, saying that she wanted to renew the lease, but Alia asked for a 30% share.

"I've calculated that although the rent has been reduced, if I calculate the share of the profits, unless the customer flow can be tripled, I will lose money compared to before!"

"No, why must the eldest lady split the profits?"

"What do you mean by young lady? She is not as generous as you say. She is very stingy! Not only does she want a share of the profits, but she also wants to supervise the operation. She said that she wants to manage it in sync with their mall... But to be honest, she is really good at superficial work. She gave employees a raise and prepared a special dining and rest area for the decoration workers. She even provided work clothes for work. Tsk tsk tsk, is she going to be on a charity show?"

The eldest aunt told Alia's stupid behavior one by one. She had found out clearly that the wool of this sucker was given to employees and customers, and even truck drivers got a share, but she didn't see any given to her friends who made money together. What kind of thing was this?

We are on the same side! Why do you think I'm an undercover agent from the other side?

Boss Guo touched his chin and fell into some thought - not because of this incident, but because of some information revealed by this incident.

After chatting for a while, Boss Guo hung up the phone, making the excuse that he wanted to ask the other party's opinion.

Madam Lu sighed: "The eldest lady doesn't owe us anything. You have to think about it carefully."

"What are you thinking about?"

"Think about it, if you turn Yixun Precision into a sweatshop and someone with the personality of the eldest lady knows about it, will we still have a share of future orders? The eldest aunt thinks she is putting on a show, but you have seen it, what do you think?"

I think? Boss Guo smacked his lips, his expression subtle.

If he had met a boss like Alia when he graduated, he would probably not be starting a business now, but working for her.

Alia was really generous. There was no need to investigate this matter. He himself was one of the 'victims'.

As long as you ask for help, the other party will really help. Boss Guo is still touched when I think about it now.

Otherwise, why would he persuade his aunt to stay after hearing that the Ai Group was going to give up its supermarket lease?

In his opinion, this action was most likely because Alia had returned to do something, and the three fires she had created might be an opportunity.

As for whether it's a loss or not, the rent for that year is just a few dollars. At most, I can make up for it myself. It's not a big deal for my aunt and her family...

"Birds of a feather flock together. I don't like to play with people I hate. Do you think Miss is happy about that? Do people need to look at your face and give you face?"

"Well - I can help her make money! If I lower the cost, won't she benefit too?"

"That's fine. Let's talk about money. Do they need to make a small profit from you? How much room is left for you in terms of profit from the order?"

These words left Boss Guo speechless. Finally, he gritted his teeth and slapped his thigh: "Okay, okay, okay! Just consider it as buying reputation!"

"What are you going to do?"

"For salary increase, young employees who are willing to work will be paid by piecework, and those who are not so ambitious will be paid by the hour... As for those engineers, two of them are really capable. I plan to have a heart-to-heart talk with them and ask about their situation. I don't think they want to leave on their own, but their families need money, or they are too soft-hearted to let someone persuade them."

"Oh, you mean I blow the wind too, to hurt you, right?"

"Oh, that's not what I meant..." Boss Guo quickly changed the subject: "Do you think Miss can succeed in running a supermarket?"

"How would I know? At most you can organize some employees to show up and talk to the supermarket about getting some shopping cards or coupons as benefits."

"Won't this cost more money?"

"A good reputation lasts a lifetime. If it's ruined once, all the previous ones are wasted!"

Mrs. Lu turned his face and looked extremely serious. After experiencing the great terror between life and death, she had become more open-minded about many things.

Money and other things, more the better, but they are not the ultimate goal of life.

It's okay to work hard for those things, but it's really not worth it to go against your conscience.

"Even if you are pretending, you have to pretend for the rest of your life. If that happens, you will be a really nice person who only cares about his deeds and not his heart! Do you understand?"

"…What's the point of being a good person?"

"Even if it's just to do some good for our daughter, okay?"

"Okay, okay, okay... What? You're pregnant?! Okay! Okay, okay, okay--"

238-A little daily leave request

That has changed recently.

Her roommates all felt that she had changed and liked to go out more - there must be someone outside!

Oh my god, there were four people in the dormitory, and we agreed that whoever gets single first would be a dog, but she actually found a warm guy without saying anything?

The three roommates shared a common hatred for the enemy and wanted to quietly find out who had captured this guy, so they came up with a plan to follow him.

"Follow quietly, don't get exposed!"

"Sir! Yes sir!"
