Chapter 188 - 183: On the Train
After finishing lunch, the shop was ready, and Fang Pingying gave the final payment to the decorators, even treating them to a meal before they all left.
Fang Pingying, together with Luo Honglan, cleaned the shop thoroughly and opened the doors to let it air out, planning to do so for about ten days. Once everything was ready on Zeng Weiguo’s end, the shop could open.
The newly renovated shop – with its pristine white walls, bright windows, and those pale-yellow wooden cabinets arranged around and in the center for displaying goods – looked completely refreshed.
Because Fang Pingying designed the renovation based on shops decades later, it naturally appeared very fashionable at the time.
Fang Pingying herself took a look and was very satisfied. Although the shop was just temporarily rented from Zeng Weiguo, it was nonetheless a business she had started with her own two hands, and she could not help but feel a sense of pride.
She firmly believed that life would only get better from here on out and that she would never repeat the tragedies of her previous life.
Luo Honglan had never dreamed of working in such a nice place and excitedly said to Fang Pingying, "Sister-in-law, this shop looks so beautiful. I’ve never seen anything like it before. Our business will surely keep getting better, right?"
Fang Xiu, who had been sitting and sighing at the entrance, glanced at Luo Honglan and muttered, "What’s the use of good business if we still only make the same amount each month, and don’t get a higher salary."
Speaking of salaries, Fang Pingying called them over and said, "About that, Uncle Zeng and I have discussed it and decided to adjust your salaries."
"How will they be adjusted?" Fang Xiu’s interest peaked once she heard talk of salary changes and immediately came over.
"From now on, the base salary each month will be raised to thirty yuan, and there will be additional bonuses," Fang Pingying explained. "For instance, if you don’t take any days off except for the two days off each month, you’ll get an extra five yuan. If both of you perform well, there will be a special bonus at the end of the year – how much depends on your attitude at work. It could be as much as ten yuan or even thirty yuan."
Luo Honglan quietly went over Fang Pingying’s words and excitedly asked, "So sister-in-law, does that mean if I don’t take any leave in a month, I’ll get a salary of thirty-five yuan?"
