He wasn't busy today, he had prepared everything he needed from the previous year. Although the spring dress had been set up on the back side, he still needed the fabric, so Cao Xiaolan called Jiangsu directly. Because the fabric was very common, he just needed to contact them directly and they were waiting for the goods to arrive.

She had also been tired for two months and now, after much effort, she finally managed to relax. Coincidentally, Cao Xiaolian hired an old master to teach them a lesson.

The nylon clothing factory was a very successful experiment. The employees there had to choose a one-year contract at the beginning. There were still a few who chose five years, but only two of them chose a ten-year contract.

Every year, they would be young and hesitant. Five years, a few were old employees while two were ten years old. They probably thought that they wouldn't have to go to other places for trouble, so they signed on for a long time.

When he took it, he felt the difference between the rewards at the end of the year.

First, he paid a monthly salary of eighty dollars, then a hundred and two dollars in five years, and then a hundred and eighty dollars in salary for ten years.

In the end of the year bonus business, there were only two old employees who had followed the factory over the past ten years to get a bonus of two hundred yuan, as the current brocade garment factory did not have any profits.

Everyone was enraged.

Xiaofang handled this matter. According to Cao Xiaolian, Xiaofang told them directly, "Why is the factory giving such preferential treatment to the old employees of the 10-year contract? It's simple, because they trust the factory. And everyone knows very well, the entry threshold of this industry is very low, those who don't understand everything can come here, we are paying everyone as we train them, but when they grow more and more, they will leave, and when that time comes, the ones who learn how to do it will be you, but the ones who lose will be the factories. "

She looked at the indignant young men and said, "Since you have chosen the contract for one year, it means that you may leave after one year. Since that is the case, do you think it's possible to ask the factory to give you preferential treatment?"

On one side was a loyal and reliable old man, on the other was an unstable new person. If they treated them the same, then everyone would give up on their work. In any case, the treatment was the same.

Xiaofang then said, "More work, more work, less work, no work. This is a healthy level competition. "

Everyone was silent as they listened to these reasonable words.

However, there were also people below the ground who were making sarcastic remarks. Everyone was talking about resigning their jobs, let's see if this factory could still continue. However, a month had passed and not a single one of them had left. On the contrary, many of them had privately come to see Xiaofang to see if they could change the contract, but all of them had been rejected by her.

She also said: The contract is not child's play. Once signed, it cannot be changed. However, if you want to sign a contract, you still have a chance next year.

After knowing this, Chen Lifen could not help but laugh. "Aiyo, I've told you before that everyone these days is a monkey and monkey. Where are you going to find a job if you get them to resign?" To boast, our factory's wages are only at this level in the city. "

"You didn't see those people who came to look for me. They were all the fiercest ones that wanted to leave." Xiaofang was both angry and amused at the same time. Initially, she did not even ask and directly signed for ten years. If it was possible, she really wanted to sign for a lifetime indenture.

"Alright. Everyone has their own aspirations, maybe after working for a year, they will be able to get back at someone with a higher status. In any case, we can't treat people who have signed a long contract badly, and if they trust us, we have to take out something that they trust.

But as soon as Cao Xiaolan finished her sentence, she saw Chen Lifen's lonely eyes.

Xiaofang explained her work plan and then went back to work. The moment she left, Cao Xiaolian asked carefully, "Sister Chen, Old Tao, I hope you haven't been troubled recently."

"Sigh, I'm not afraid of you making fun of me. I don't know where you got it, but I know that my feet aren't up yet, so I'm always waiting for you at my place. Last time I came to my house, I cleaned and cleaned the house, and before the divorce, it was me who served him, I really don't know if he has the ability to do that."

"Perhaps it is the value that comes after one loses something." Seeing that Chen Lifen had some leeway, Cao Xiaolan didn't want to say it out loud, "Do you want to make peace?"

"Xiao Lian, to be honest, when Old Tao first came to find me, I was really angry. I hated him so much that I wanted to tear him apart and slap him a few times to see if he had lost his conscience. I treated him so well, but he was worse than a dog."

Cao Xiaoling listened quietly. If a normal woman could pour beans on the table and complain about her grievances, she would have to forgive this man's prelude.

As expected, Chen Lifen continued, "But later on, he came to beg me time and time again. That pitiful look softened my heart. I don't have much love for him anymore, but after being married for so many years, they have already gotten married.

Tears streamed down her face, and Cao Xiaolian quickly handed over a tissue.

"I've decided to accept him now, but I won't remarry. After all, what he did hurt me too much. But what to do, Xiao Lian, I am almost forty years old and have no child, and when I am old and alone, who will speak to me? "Old Tao isn't a very good person, but he'll always have a companion when he's old. If he talks, it won't be enough for all the beauties at home to know."

Seeing that she was crying so sorrowfully, Cao Xiaolian tried to comfort her, "Sister Chen, you don't need to think so much. If you really want to get back together with him, then try it first. What if he really repents?"

Chen Lifen shook her head, "He is sincerely regretting his decision. I can't be like how I was before. Xiao Lian, I'm just afraid of being alone. I just want to find Old Tao and live under a roof like a tenant." "He won't be so stupid in the future. He will be so kind to him. He has been to me, and I have been to me. It's pretty good."

After saying that, he laughed miserably, "Do you know how to laugh at me?"

Cao Xiaolian shook her head. Everyone had the right to choose their own lives. No one had the right to criticize the lives of others.

"Sis knows you're in a good mood, that's why I'm telling you." Chen Lifen said self-deprecatingly, "In fact, I don't even have the face to talk about this myself. What should I do? I'm not lucky enough to have met such a man."

She looked at Cao Xiaolian and sighed, "You're still the best. At the same age as a flower, if I can live again, no one will choose me. I will live my own life well. Men are not dependable."

Cao Xiaoling didn't say anything. She knew that Chen Lifen didn't need her agreement. She was just feeling too bitter and wanted to vent on someone.

However, when Shang Yin found out, he was extremely dissatisfied, "Is there something wrong with her brain? That man beat her up to such a state, and he went to look for Little San. How could Sister Chen forgive him?"

"Sis Chen has her own thoughts." Cao Xiaoling reminded him, "I'm telling you this because I want you to pay more attention to your words in the future. Don't scold Old Tao anymore. After all, they've made up and you're not comfortable scolding Old Tao and Sister Chen."

Whether time could heal this scar, no one knew. But at least Cao Xiaolian didn't want any problems to occur because of Old Tao and the other two.

"I know, it's not like I'm stupid." Shang Yin heaved a sigh of relief. "I'm almost done. I think I'll be able to make a trip back home next month."

"So fast?" Cao Xiaoling was surprised. "It's already been completed."

"What are you doing? Do you think you're building blocks?" Shang Yin smiled. "It will take another two years to finish. I'm going back because Lin Mubai is here to keep an eye on the project. He has invested a lot into this project and can't just sit idly by. I can go back and relax with him watching."

"Right." Shang Yin continued, "How are you doing at the University of Ye?"

"Not bad." Cao Xiaoliu explained briefly before she heard the other party say, "Teacher Tao knew someone at the University of Ye. I'll bring you to meet him later."

"Forget it, don't blame me for the trouble." Mentioning Tao Qing, Cao Xiaolian couldn't help but ask, "Have you been in contact with Teacher Tao recently?"

Shang Yin fell silent.

Cao Xiaolian regretted her recklessness. She was about to change the subject when Shang Yin said, "Teacher Tao is hospitalized. I'll go back next month to see her for this."

"AHH!" Cao Xiaoling was stunned. "She's fine. How did she get hospitalized?"

"Said it was malnutrition." Shang Yin's voice was low, "I'll tell you about this. You know her personality, and you don't want others to know about it. I have too many things on my side. Otherwise, I really want to go back immediately."

"Then, should I go to the hospital tomorrow?" Cao Xiaolian asked.

"That's fine too." "She doesn't like eating fruits, so don't buy fruit baskets," Shang Yin instructed. "There's a flower shop in the west side of the city that sells perfume and lilies. That's her favorite."

"Alright." Cao Xiaoling agreed, "I'll go to the hospital tomorrow morning."

Just as he was about to speak, a shout came from outside, "Cao Gong, your mother is here."

Cao Xiaolian quickly said, "My mom is here. She's hanging up now. Let's talk later."

After hanging up the phone, he went out and saw his mother and Grandpa Li standing together in the yard, feeling very nervous.

Cao Xiaolian's eyes became hot and she rushed out, "Mom, Grandpa Li, come in. Come in and have a seat."

Mother Cao had been a farmer all her life, but this was the first time she came to such a big factory. It was hard for her to loosen her hands and feet, and now that her daughter had come out, she felt more at ease. When he thought of how his daughter was able to achieve so much, he felt extremely proud of himself.

After entering the room, Cao Xiaolian took two cups from the cabinet and served them with tea.

"Little girl, I've troubled you." Uncle Li was very embarrassed. "Look, there's some chore over here. I'm fine with it. Although I'm not as old as the strong young man, my body isn't bad at all."

"Uncle Li, on our side, each position only has one person. You have a great responsibility in becoming a guard."

Cao Xiaolan was very smart. She could tell that Master Li was afraid that she had done too little and quickly volunteered.

"There are a lot of people in the factory now. First, you have to get to know them all. If any strangers come here in the future, you have to register them first, as well as the safety of the factory. These are all very important responsibilities."

Hearing Cao Xiaoling's words, Grandpa Li was overjoyed. "Sure, I won't say anything else. This memory, do you remember what I used to do? There are a lot of goods in the supply club, but I can't remember any of them?"

"Alright!" "Then it's settled." Originally, this position was not for living and eating. Considering that Grandpa Li really didn't have a place to stay, he separated it from the doorman and got himself a single bed as his residence.

Seeing that her daughter still had some prospects even though she was able to help her fellow countrymen, Mother Cao decided that she would make dumplings for the evening. She asked Cao Xiaolan to bring Master Li to familiarize herself with the dumplings and then went back to make them.
