A single man checks into a couples' room; his life of ease and comfort begins.

Anyone who has worked knows that many companies start compiling lists a month before the Lunar New Year.

Who should go home, and who should stay at the factory?

Hao Qiangzhuang's company gives a 1,000 yuan bonus to employees who choose to stay at the factory.

During the Spring Festival, the days off are considered statutory holidays and paid at triple the normal rate.

Because the company is going public next year, the benefits and compensation will be improved, and it is already considered to be at an upper-middle level in the industry.

I heard there's a bonus of 1,000 yuan, and most employees don't want to go home.

But at this very moment, some people are about to cause trouble. The factory's orders for this year are already booked five years into the future; if they take a holiday, it will directly lead to the inability to deliver goods, resulting in substantial penalties for breach of contract.

In order to ensure a smooth year-end, Hao Qiangzhuang drafted a list of promoted employees based on performance evaluations.

Among them was Zheng Yuanxin, the former production manager, who has now been demoted to section chief in the production department. He was promoted and given a raise of 1,000 yuan.

Then, give him another list, that is, the production department section chiefs, and he will decide who is qualified for the position.

Zheng Xiaodong was originally promoted by him, but after Zheng Xiaodong became the section chief, he almost brought down Zheng Yuanxin several times.

Hao Qiangzhuang personally carried the factory badge stamped with the Human Resources Department's seal to the Production Department office, handed it to Zheng Yuanxin, and said with a smile, "Manager Zheng, you were demoted but didn't lose your salary before, but now you've been promoted and received a raise."

When Zheng Yuanxin held the label, she was incredibly excited. The hatred she had harbored for Hao Qiangzhuang vanished in an instant, replaced by gratitude.

He rose to the position of production manager. At that time, Hao Qiangzhuang was given the power of life and death in the company. Moreover, the one who caused trouble was Zheng Xiaodong, whom he had promoted. Putting himself in his shoes, he would also have taken action against himself.

Zheng Yuanxin stood up excitedly, grasped Hao Qiangzhuang's hand, and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you so much for your promotion, Manager Hao."

Hao Qiangzhuang glanced at Zheng Xiaodong's desk and saw the leave slips piled up like a book.

Just then, Zheng Xiaodong, holding a leave slip, barged in with an arrogant attitude and slammed the slip on the table: "Section Chief Zheng, hurry up and sign this! I'm in a hurry to get home!"

Hao Qiangzhuang was in a difficult position with Zheng Yuanxin, who had just been promoted and received a raise, and dared not speak easily.

Hao Qiangzhuang glanced at Zheng Xiaodong beside him, then smiled and asked Zheng Yuanxin, "Manager Zheng, how many people in the production workshop took leave to go home this time?"

Zheng Yuanxin glanced at Zheng Xiaodong with a troubled expression. Zheng Xiaodong was tilting his head back, pointing his nostrils directly at him.

Zheng Yuanxin said helplessly, "Of the more than two hundred employees, they are basically line leaders and team leaders. In particular, all the team leaders have taken leave, and there are only three line leaders left."

Hao Qiangzhuang hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "How capable are these three people? Can they handle a section chief position?"

Unfortunately, all three of them were Zheng Yuanxin's confidants. While he hesitated, he gritted his teeth and said to Zheng Xiaodong, "As long as they are given a platform and an opportunity, they will be many times better than Zheng Xiaodong."

When Zheng Yuanxin denied being from the same hometown and village, Zheng Xiaodong, whom he had once promoted, remained defiant and acted as if he were the most important person in the world, as if the production workshop couldn't function without him.

Hao Qiangzhuang readily agreed, saying, "That's good. Now you write the proposal to divide the existing production line into three independent workshops. Promote the remaining three managers who didn't ask for leave directly to deputy section chiefs of the production department. In addition, several days ago, many employees consulted the HR department to recommend people to work for our company. It should be enough to fill the vacancies of two or three hundred people."

Zheng Xiaodong was stunned at this moment. He wanted to say something, but his stubborn personality made him instinctively swallow back the words he was about to say.

Zheng Yuanxin glanced down at the leave slip and tentatively asked, "Manager Hao, what about those who requested leave?"

Hao Qiangzhuang waved his hand and said with a smile, "They want to take leave, so let them. All the managers who take leave will be demoted to ordinary employees and given a year's leave to play to their heart's content."

Zheng Yuanxin took Zheng Xiaodong's leave slip, approved it immediately, and then handed it to Hao Qiangzhuang, smiling as she said, "This is the leave slip of the person in charge of this incident. I've changed it to a year."

Hao Qiangzhuang, of course, was not stingy and granted him a year-long vacation so he could have some fun.

Back then, it wasn't like now. If you had a year-long vacation, you could just go out and find work.

Finding a job is a difficult problem for many people.

Of course, the company still approves leave for employees who have urgent family matters as normal, and doesn't reject all of them.

Since most employees are not going home, the company has made a special exception for families with wives and children, allowing them to buy tickets and have the company reimburse them so they can come here to celebrate the New Year together.

If the company weren't preparing for an IPO, it wouldn't be able to offer such favorable conditions, because TV crews will be coming to the company for an interview early next month.

Therefore, as the HR manager, Hao Qiangzhuang had to help the company get rid of all the troubles and clear the room.

The company's second dormitory building was also completed a week ago.

A second large-scale renovation of the dormitory has begun, and a construction team has been hired. It is scheduled to be completed in half a month.

On the second floor, only rooms 201 and 301 have private bathrooms; the rest of the rooms do not. Since renovations are being carried out, Hao Qiangqiang, who is used to living in room 201, is unwilling to move out.

They simply merged rooms 201 and 202, meaning 202 became the living room and 201 became the bedroom. After the renovation, the door to 201 was bricked up and replaced with a sliding window, with security grilles installed on the outside.

Room 201 was transformed into a dormitory room with one person per room. To be honest, the original Room 201 was quite spacious for living.

202 can be left empty to serve as a living room, dining room, and there's no problem setting up several tables.

After some renovations, this place is no different from the luxury apartments outside.

Hao Qiangzhuang looked at the design drawings, glancing occasionally at Tang Xueyi standing in front of him, and asked, "Where will I be staying during the dormitory renovation?"

Tang Xueyi said earnestly, "How about this, there's a single room available in the staff dormitory, you can stay there for now!"

Hao Qiangzhuang nodded and said, "That works too. Go and tell all the security guards to help me move!"

Tang Xueyi nodded and said, "I'll go now." She turned and walked out of the personnel department section chief's office.
