Shen ng spent the whole night imparting knowledge about won to Ming Fang. Although the young girl listened with a blushing face, embarrassed, she still tried hard to understand.
Shen ng did not expect her to understand everything, but she wanted to tell her daughter to accept the changes in her body without feeling embarrassed, as these were all very normal phenona. Ming Fang is a good girl; after listening carefully, she would also ask so small questions that puzzled her.
Over the past year, she had raised the children at ho very well. The boys had grown taller and had healthy wheat-colored skin, while Ming Fang had cut her long hair to a short length that reached her ears, as she found long hair a waste of ti, and Shen ng had indulged her.
In the dim night, looking at the well-raised girl, she felt a sudden sense of responsibility resting on her shoulders.
The next day when the rooster crowed, Shen ng placed several small tank tops, which she had washed the night before with the washing and drying machines while the children were asleep, beside Ming Fang’s pillow.
She also left a small note.
"My dear daughter, you are gradually growing up. Many things you can start to try on your own. This is sothing Mom prepared for you, wear it under your clothes, take good care of yourself, love from your Mom."
Ming Fang looked at the note, unable to contain her joy, the four small tank tops beside her pillow - red, yellow, pink, and grass green, all adorned with cute little animal patterns were incredibly lovely.
She quickly took off her cotton silk pajamas and put on one of the tank tops, then added a jacket on top, a sense of novelty lingering in her heart.
On the way to work in the county, Shen ng took two tank tops from her bag for Wu Xianglan and gave two to Shirley.
"This is a small tank top I bought before, I bought too many, take them ho and wash them well. Let the young girls at ho wear them, so things should be talked about ahead of ti with the young girls at ho, don’t wait until the children grow up, still ignorant of these matters!"
"Wow, this looks really nice; this material must be expensive, right?"
"That’s for sure, she always spends money on her children, and she’s even more generous with Ming Fang. We’re just lucky."
Shen ng smiled and did not continue the conversation; they were all career won, and it would be awkward to discuss female topics in front of Uncle Guai.
When Shen ng arrived at the bus company and was selling tickets, Fu ili led two people to her workstation, Shen ng saw that they were still holding items in their hands, her eyes shining brightly again.
"Xiao ng, this is Secretary Chang from our bus company, representing the leaders to co and visit you, haha, co over and et him."
"Ah, hello Secretary Chang, it’s very kind of you to co such a long way to see ."
Fu ili: "... Next door courtyard, not far away, well, everyone please take a seat, I’ll pour so water."
Secretary Chang felt awkward for a mont, sitting at the table across from Shen ng, causing an employee who had just returned from the restroom to turn around and head back to the restroom upon seeing soone sitting at their workstation.
"Comrade Shen ng, this is a gift from our superior leaders to you for the great contributions you made to our county. You also got our bus company’s na printed in the paper for the whole province to see. The higher-ups really appreciate our unit’s work. The leader has decided to raise your salary to US$ 69 per month. If you have any more heroic deeds in the future, our unit will increase your salary and there will be additional rewards. Rember to take these gifts ho after work tonight. Besides, here’s a bonus the leader specifically applied for you, totaling US$ 500. Take care of it."
"Oh my, how can I accept this, Secretary Chang? I just did what an employee should do. How can I accept such a large bonus? I truly feel undeserving."
Fu ili, holding a tray between them, didn’t believe a word from Shen ng. If she hadn’t known her earlier, she might have thought Shen ng’s modest words were genuinely due to self-doubt. But now, she clearly knew she was just being modest to let others sing her praises.
"How can you feel undeserving? Comrade Shen ng, not only these, but when our leaders went to the Provincial City for a eting, they also applied for a silk banner for you, which will be delivered to you personally later. You will have a photo taken with it. Comrade Shen ng, the leaders have high hopes for you, you must work hard!"
Shen ng imdiately stood up, turned to Secretary Chang and Fu ili, and said, "I am truly honored to have a photo with the leaders. I will hang it right in the center of our family hall. I will look at it every day to motivate to work even harder. Thank you for the organization’s trust, thank you for the leaders’ nurturing, thank you to Secretary Chang and Director Fu for giving this opportunity. I will prioritize our unit’s affairs above all and strive hard every day."
"Good, well said!"
"Yes, Comrade Shen ng always has a high level of consciousness. I will definitely report these words faithfully to the leaders, and they will be reassured."
Shen ng smiled and said nothing. As a hardworking employee in the new century, such responses ca naturally to her. No matter what, what leaders liked most were always these buttered-up complints!
Shen ng’s desk was piled with stuff, she joyfully held the US$ 500 bonus in her hand. When so of the less busy colleagues saw that others had left, they quickly gathered around. Shen ng was now the celebrity of the county. Networking more could only be beneficial.
anwhile, the others continued chatting noisily. After a while, Li Qianqian ca over with soone. She had just co out of maternity leave, fully focused on making career achievents. Most of the ti, the baby was looked after by Hu Biao and the nanny, and her family supported her career fully. Now she practically dictated everything at ho, even Director Hu had to watch her mood. After all, she bagged a monthly international order that was increasing in demand. If Li Qianqian ever got upset and refused the county textile factory’s fabrics, it would an a huge loss for the factory.
"Sister ng, your place is really lively!"
"Director, why have you co over? Is there anything you need?"
Li Qianqian, dressed in a brand-new fashionable outfit and wearing a headband produced by the Head Flower Factory, looked rather modern. The ticket sellers in the office sized her up from head to toe.
"I ca here to give you a reward. You brought such great honor to our factory. As the leader of Xiangyang Head Flower Factory, how could I not show my appreciation? Here, this is for you, a bonus of US$ 500. My dad, he’s so busy with the factory business, now staying in the Provincial City all the ti. But he still called, thanked you and said
he’ll bring you good news when he’s back and wants you to visit our ho too!"
Shen ng’s eyes glead as she looked at Li Qianqian, her inner self screaming in ecstasy, "I’m getting rich, I’m getting really rich!!!"
