Chapter 167: Lin Jiadong Comes Knocking
Hou Xiaobao pointed to Jia Liang, "Brother Liang even invited me to celebrate the holidays with them, but I thought the Bun Shop couldn’t be left unattended during the break, so I decided to spend the holidays at the Bun Shop and have a reunion dinner at Brother Liang’s place. Aunt Jia has been really good to us now; she’d be unhappy if I didn’t go."
Lin Chuxia nodded, glad to hear he had plans.
Hou Xiaobao scratched his head, "Boss, I was the only one who came back empty-handed from running sales this time, are you disappointed in me? I’ve been thinking about it a lot since I got back. Maybe it’s because of my image, I’m thinking of trying again after the New Year. I’ll visit more clients and won’t let you down, Boss."
So that was the issue.
Indeed, among those who went out, only Hou Xiaobao returned with nothing.
During those days, as everyone seemed downcast and the courtyard became busier, he had no time to dwell on these thoughts, but it seemed he was still concerned about it.
Lin Chuxia neither affirmed nor denied this, but instead asked, "Are you unsatisfied with your current salary?"
Hou Xiaobao immediately shook his head like a rattle drum, his voice growing louder, "Of course, I’m satisfied."
This month, he made a total of 118 yuan, which was the most after Su Wensong and Jia Liang.
That was the equivalent to what an ordinary worker would earn in over three months. What else was there to be dissatisfied with?
