Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets! Chapter 419 - 308. The Embarrassed Heroine

January 10, 2015, 9:00 AM.

Nanhu Industrial Park, headquarters of Golden Stone Coffee Company.

Knock knock knock.

"Co in."

Tian Yi, dressed formally, with a blue folder under her arm, knocked on the door of the private office.

Ever since Golden Stone Coffee received angel investnt, Tian Yi, coming from a barista background, had also changed her own fate.

As a veteran figure of the startup, currently, Tian Yi followed Zhou Sinin, working nominally as an assistant handling daily affairs.

On days when Mr. Lu was not around, she ca in promptly at nine every morning to report on her work.

Pushing open the office door, sunlight slanted in from the window, enveloping the figure seated at the desk in a warm glow, as if straight out of a romantic oil painting.

"Mr. Zhou, here are a few matters that need attention today."

"Okay."

Zhou Sinin sat in the office, her brows slightly furrowed, quietly flipping through the docunts Tian Yi had handed over.

In the eyes of Golden Stone Coffee’s staff, the young Mr. Zhou, from makeup to deanor to decision-making, seed to seamlessly embody the role of a leader.

Even though it had only been less than a week.

Today, Zhou Sinin had regained her usual elegance, her eyebrows neatly shaped like willow leaves, her brown hair ticulously styled in a double bun, elegantly topped with jet-black silky hair like the graceful arcs of the moon.

The most striking feature was her wearing a powerful ivory suit and a hip-hugging skirt ensemble, with a shirt of the sa color underneath.

Her long legs were clad in what’s popularly known as a miracle leg-sculpting sheer tights, which, even in the cold winter, accentuated her slender legs like taut bamboo.

Earrings that seed to dangle like wind chis faintly glead at her ears.

Such attire was typically only seen in television and movies.

In everyday life, ordinary girls, even those with outstanding looks, wearing such a suit would still seem sowhat odd.

Because although their visage might pass, their identity and aura could not.

But Zhou Sinin, not yet twenty, managed to wear it without a hint of incongruity.

Like a noble peony, she quietly blood.

Her delicate nose, her eyes, her figure, her wrists as white as the moon, and her tightly toned calves...

Even Tian Yi had to admit that the Zhou Sinin before her was stunningly beautiful.

Even though she was only across a desk and a little distance away, her fragrance seed to already perate the surroundings.

"Alright, that will be all."

Zhou Sinin swiftly signed her handling suggestions and slid the folder back.

After finishing the work, she pulled out a book titled "Microeconomics" from the side of the desk, preparing for her afternoon final exam.

Looking up, she accidentally noticed from the corner of her eye, that Tian Yi seed to be hesitating to leave.

The assistant blinked and seed on the verge of speaking, her right hand gripping the folder tightly.

"Is there sothing else?"

Zhou Sinin put down the book and asked.

"Um, Mr. Zhou..."

Tian Yi organized her thoughts, paused for a few seconds, and then spoke.

"There’s sothing I need to report."

"The salaries have been credited..."

January 10 was the fixed payday for Golden Stone Coffee.

In larger, more regulated companies, payday often fell before the 10th of the following month.

It must be said that although Golden Stone Coffee was a startup, it was a small but complete establishnt.

From system establishnt to punctual paynts, the company was impeccable.

If payday coincided with a holiday or rest day, paynts were even issued in advance.

"...?"

Zhou Sinin looked up, puzzled.

Was there a need to report specifically about the salary being credited?

"It’s just that many people are asking."

"About what? Did finance calculate the salaries incorrectly?"

"No, Mr. Zhou..."

Tian Yi, observing Zhou Sinin’s expression, seed to understand sothing.

"Didn’t Mr. Lu tell you?"

"So ti ago, he held a eting with all staff, ntioning that this month everyone would receive a year-end bonus."

"What’s that?"

Zhou Sinin, initially a bit drowsy, instantly snapped to alertness.

"A year-end bonus?!"

"Yes, depending on performance, issuing a year-end bonus of 1-1.1 tis the basic salary."

"Mr. Lu also said that originally there wasn’t a budget for this during the probation period, but it was specially arranged as a reward for the New Year."

Tian Yi pursed her lips, slightly embarrassed to say it.

Indeed, that was the case.

Golden Stone Coffee, operational for less than a year, only had a few veterans from its startup phase, with almost all new faces recruited from other places in its branches and headquarters.

Who could have expected that the boss would issue a year-end bonus to employees who had joined less than a year ago?

Was this charity?

But once the word was out, expectations rose like steam.

The spirited employees, having survived until the 10th, saw smaller numbers in their accounts than imagined and inevitably discussed and whispered among themselves.

The boss should keep his word, right?

He wouldn’t deceive them, would he?

"It’s not..."

Zhou Sinin, resting her forehead on her hand, felt her blood rush and was montarily unable to speak.

After calculations,

Golden Stone Coffee’s several dozen stores varied in their earnings.

Of course, this was normal.

So stores were located in busy comrcial areas, so were still sorting out processes and slowly feeling their way along, and with store managers’ varying capabilities, inco couldn’t possibly all reach the initial performance of the Beiyuan Store.

The lesser-performing stores made a few tens of thousands a month.

Outstanding ones could make between one hundred and two hundred thousand.

The fifty coffee stores in Jiang City, in total, earned about 4 to 5 million a month.
