Chapter 183 Can't you use your brains for once?
"A system is necessary, but it can't be like this. These deduction rules are too strict and heavy. We can't let that stinky Li Xiaomei enforce it. She looks like she has a vicious heart. If she keeps deducting from us, we might end up working for nothing for a month."
"Let's send her away first, then talk to the landlady. She's kind-hearted, so she should be more lenient," Liu Youzhen whispered her analysis.
"What if the boss's wife doesn't listen to us? What if we have to pay a fine according to this rule?" asked a woman named Chen Yue.
"It's better than letting Li Xiaomei punish me, isn't it?" Zhang Liuying said through gritted teeth. She has a baby at home, and she pays her neighbor to help take care of the baby during the day, but she has to take care of the baby herself at night. She doesn't sleep well and has trouble getting up in the morning. With this fine system in place, she hates Li Xiaomei to death.
"What if the boss wants to use her to exploit us, and we can't get rid of her?"
"The boss looks at him differently."
"What if we don't get rid of her, but the boss fires us instead?"
……
The group had many problems and were all very worried.
Some people even considered trying to curry favor with Li Xiaomei.
He glanced in Li Xiaomei's direction, wondering how to quickly gain her favor and get closer to her.
"Use your brains, will you? The boss is good to Li Xiaomei, does that make the boss's wife happy? Pshaw!" Liu Youzhen spat as she spoke.
Everyone snapped out of their daze, especially the one who had tried to curry favor with Li Xiaomei, who nearly broke out in a cold sweat. They quickly lowered their eyes and noses to conceal their earlier behavior.
"Youzhen, whatever you say goes, I'll do it."
"Xiao Liu is our backbone!"
"Yes, we'll listen to you!"
……
Everyone here expressed their opinions.
Li Xiaomei rewrote the rules she had drafted, and then took them to the print shop not far to the right of the store to print them, satisfied.
She needed to print it out quickly and then get started. She wanted to show Qin Yanlin her abilities and her strengths.
After printing it out, Li Xiaomei took it to Qin Yanlin, hoping to have more opportunities to spend time alone with him. She didn't even knock on the door, going straight to his desk.
Qin Yanlin took it, looked at it, and said, "Well done, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Li!"
Li Xiaomei gave a charming smile and said, "It is my honor to work for the boss."
Qin Yanlin smiled and said, "Go ahead and get busy. Thank you for your hard work." As he spoke, he opened the document in his hand.
Li Xiaomei didn't leave. Instead, she refilled Qin Yanlin's teacup and asked casually, "Where does Boss Qin live? Does he come home for dinner every day?"
"Yes, I eat at home every day," Qin Yanlin replied.
"The landlady is so kind. Please let us meet sometime so we can learn from her," Li Xiaomei continued, trying to get more information out of her.
"What's there for her to learn as a housewife? It's fine if they each do their own thing." Qin Yanlin was already very impatient, but for the sake of the plan, he could only force a smile.
"Boss Qin, don't say that. A virtuous wife like the boss's wife is much better off than us who work outside and beg for food. It's really enviable!" Li Xiaomei's words began to imply that a woman like the boss's wife only does housework and is supported by her husband.
"Yes, she is very virtuous. We have been married for over twenty years, and she has taken care of everything at home." Thinking of the changes that had occurred along the way, Qin Yanlin felt a little guilty, and his face darkened.
Li Xiaomei secretly rejoiced: Boss Qin didn't seem happy when he mentioned his wife; his expression was getting worse.
That's true. They've been married for over twenty years; the boss's wife must be at least forty. Women who do housework not only look older, but they also often don't dress up. In the eyes of a successful man like Boss Qin, such a woman is just a drab, haggard housewife. He finds her utterly repulsive and distasteful.
"Then, boss, I'll head out now." Li Xiaomei looked at Qin Yanlin with a piercing gaze.
"Okay, go ahead and get busy." Qin Yanlin was thinking about how to make up for his mistake and soothe the hurt Deng Xiuzhen had suffered, and his tone became more tender.
Li Xiaomei's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and she almost threw herself into his arms. However, remembering that her goal was to become the boss's wife, she couldn't let people think she was frivolous. She steadied herself, said "Okay" sweetly, and ran off.
"Where is he?" Li Xiaomei shouted as she walked into the lobby.
"Coming, coming!" Deng Xiuzhen replied and ran over.
"Are there other people?" Li Xiaomei looked at the two or three people in front of her, her face turning cold.
"Oh, they've gone to work." Deng Xiuzhen lowered her head, concealing the disgust in her heart.
Li Xiaomei cleared her throat and said sternly, "From now on, you must report when you go out to work. What kind of work you are going to do, how far you are going to work, and how big the client's house is, you must register it all clearly."
To prevent people from using work as a pretext to do their own personal things! The company pays a base salary, and we absolutely cannot tolerate such behavior that harms the company.
"I understand," Deng Xiuzhen replied softly, seemingly aggrieved, but secretly overjoyed.
The other two remained silent, staring at Li Xiaomei with constipated expressions.
"What? You're not convinced?" Li Xiaomei glared and shouted.
"The company isn't yours, so what right do you have to make such a rule?" Zhang Yun retorted angrily.
"The company will be hers sooner or later..." Li Xiaomei wanted to say that the company would be hers sooner or later, and she was confident of that.
But then he remembered that Qin Yanlin was inside, and feared that if he said that, Qin Yanlin would hear him and suspect that he was there for his money and his company, so he quickly changed his tune, saying, "For a company to grow, it needs employees who treat the company like their own home. When employees treat the company like their own home, the company grows faster, and when the company grows, everyone's income will increase..."
"You're such a busybody!" Li Xiang muttered under his breath.
"What did you say? Speak louder!" Li Xiaomei didn't hear clearly, but sensed it wasn't a kind word and suspected he was being insulted. So she angrily pointed at Li Xiang and shouted at him.
"I..." Li Xiang was furious and was about to explode when Deng Xiuzhen stopped her and gave her a wink.
With the boss's wife speaking up, Li Xiang felt better and forced a fawning smile, saying, "I mean, you're right. With someone as talented as you, the company is sure to have a great future!"
"Yes, well said! You've got the awareness! Work hard with me from now on, and I guarantee you'll make money." Li Xiaomei was overjoyed.
"Okay, okay, we'll listen to you!"
Deng Xiuzhen, Zhang Yun, and Li Xiang all expressed their opinions.
Li Xiaomei became increasingly spirited, ordering them to wipe and clean here and there, never letting them stop.
Liu Youzhen and Zhang Liuying did not go to work. Liu Youzhen knew that the rule Li Xiaomei had set up, which forbade bringing children, was probably designed for her.
She asked Deng Xiuzhen for leave and came to find Yan Wenying with her child.
She wanted to ask Yan Wenying to help look after the child. Firstly, the child really needed someone to take care of him during Li Xiaomei's crazy outburst, and secondly, she wanted the child to keep Yan Wenying from going to the company.
