Having social security from Beijing, when weâre 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 donât feel pressured at work."
"Since Iâve invited you two here, Iâm sure youâll 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 itâs reassuring to employ them.
The disadvantage is that being too familiar can make management 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 some 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 extremely satisfied with the salary and had no objections at all.
"Xiao Qi, find some time today to take your parents for a medical check-up."
"Also get the health certificate sorted."
Once they pass the medical check-up and have the health certificate, they can officially sign the employment contract.
While everyone knows each other well, itâs still necessary to follow the required procedures during hiring.
Jiangâs Food Factory is a food company, so health certificates are essential, and Jiang Taoâs parents had them done too, without exceptions.
Furthermore, the pre-employment medical check-up canât be skipped either.
Better safe than sorry.
In case any occupational disease is discovered after employment, it becomes hard to explain.
Itâs 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 medical check-up, health certificate, and to purchase living supplies.
Thereâs 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 Jianjunâs family and drove off in a large Mercedes parked at the entrance.
"Jiang Tao has really made it big now..."
Watching the Mercedes drive off, Jiang Jianjun turned to his wife and daughter, expressing sincere admiration.
"Indeed! It feels completely different now, he already has the demeanor of a big boss."
Yang Wenyan nodded in agreement. In her eyes, Jiang Tao seemed to have been transformed, like a completely different person!
This is the result of Jiang Taoâs recent commitment to exercise, leading to a dramatic improvement in his constitution.
Itâs also associated with the intense sense of achievement and confidence brought by his rapid increase in wealth.
A confident man is most charming!
"Uncle Tao really seems like a different person nowâmuch more handsome 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 Jiaqiâs 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 somewhat disappointed after hearing his daughterâs wordsâwhat kind of good news is this!
Yang Wenyan also looked at her daughter with confusion, not seeing the excitement in this news.
"Come 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, itâs 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 time, we would be the veteran employees of the company, wouldnât promotions and pay raises be within reach?"
The more Jiang Jiaqi spoke, the more excited she became, 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 donât know anything, weâre just workers, not suited to be leaders."
Jiang Jianjun shook his head, retreating even before trying.
Like Jiang Taoâs 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 mediocrity and was content with it.
If someone assigns him some ready tasks, guides him on how to do them, he can accomplish them well.
But leading othersâjust the thought of it gives him a headache.
Yang Wenyan echoed:
"Your dad is right, one should learn contentment, according to their abilities."
Your Uncle Tao gives me and your dad such good treatment, weâre 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 didnât persuade them further.
Everyone has their own ambitions.
Her parentsâ personalities are hard to change in a short period, itâs not easy to alter their perspectives.
