Chapter 727: Even Close Brothers Should Settle Accounts Clearly.
"Mianmian, don’t worry, Army Bro and I will definitely take good care of the shop, and we’ll keep the account books crystal clear." Xiaocui excitedly made a promise, knowing that if Mianmian were to close her vegetable store, she, Army Bro, and Zhang Qian would all be out of a job.
Now things are looking up. Mianmian’s making money, and they don’t have to worry about being unemployed anymore.
"I have to say the ugly part upfront, though!" Shen Mianmian put on a serious face, "The lease for the veggie shop is renewed for another three years. During these three years, you have to work here and not go anywhere else! Even if someone else offers you a higher wage than I do."
Xiaocui laughed, "Who’s going to offer a higher wage than you? Even though I haven’t worked anywhere else, I’ve been in the city for a few years now, and I know what the wages here are like. People slog from dawn to dusk, working over ten hours a day, and they only make a little over thirty bucks a month."
Shen Mianmian couldn’t help but smile, "You’re this touched over such small wages, if I tell you I’m going to give you a raise, aren’t you going to be moved to tears?"
"A raise?" Xiaocui was momentarily stunned, then quickly said, "Mianmian, my salary is already high. No need to raise it further. Just keeping the store open and giving us work is enough to make us happy."
During the three years Xiaocui worked for Shen Mianmian, her salary had been raised every year. Her current monthly wage had reached sixty bucks. A further raise? She would feel uneasy taking that much money.
Last year, her family built a new house, all thanks to Shen Mianmian’s support. Xiaocui’s gratitude was beyond words; Mianmian was her family’s benefactor.
