Chapter 351 - 3 Foreign Guests
It was the most comfortable climate of spring, yet Zhi Xin Garden bustled with activity.
One by one, fruit trees were planted by the employees in the orchard, followed by a group of children helping to water them.
A month ago, nine apartment buildings had already been completed, and Zhi Xin Garden’s employees had gradually moved in. Lin Xiaoguai had originally planned to renovate two apartment buildings designated for employee dormitories before letting them move in, but then she thought, people nowadays didn’t really have a concept of renovation, and if they did, it often only involved painting and using tiles mostly in the bathrooms. If she renovated the apartments with a futuristic concept for the employees to live in...
It would be too much.
As the saying goes, a spoonful of rice can invite gratitude, a bucket can breed rancor. She had no intention of being an oppressive boss, but giving too much to the employees and having them take it for granted was not what she wanted either.
Therefore, she decided to simply let them live in the rough-finished apartments. After all, even in the future, she had never seen employee apartments fully furnished by the employer.
However, in the future, once they all had a better understanding and cohesiveness, and the employees felt a sense of belonging to Zhi Xin Garden, she didn’t plan to keep her renovation designs a secret. If possible, she wouldn’t mind selling them the more practical and beautiful renovation materials from the exchange store at a relatively low price.
Even so, these military family employees who came from various places were very satisfied with the environment of the employee dormitories and were deeply grateful to their boss, Lin Xiaoguai.
Although to avoid drawing attention, the apartment buildings had not been fitted with elevators, which inconvenienced those living on higher floors, no one complained. For these hardworking people, being able to live in such nice houses was already a blessing, and the extra steps were nothing to fuss over.
Zhi Xin Garden had over six hundred employees for a large farm near three thousand acres, which was undoubtedly insufficient, and one could imagine how busy the employees were on a daily basis. At the time, there were only so many military family members who met their hiring criteria. With no choice, Lin Xiaoguai had to increase the salary range from the originally intended 200-500 per month to 300-600 per month, plus full attendance bonus, encouragement bonus, saving bonus, achievement award, and suggestion bonus—five types of bonuses. An employee could earn more in a year than those in state-owned enterprises did, not to mention the generous benefits within the farm.
