I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

The first two days were a nightmare for Jiang Xiaoyan.

Labeling sounds simple.

But to do it quickly and well, and to be upright and not crooked, is harder than climbing to heaven for someone like her who is lazy and ignorant of the five grains.

On the first day, she had more discarded labels than good ones.

According to the rule of deducting one yuan for each wrong answer, her first day's salary became negative.

"Let anyone who wants to do this lousy job do it! It's practically inhumane!"

Jiang Xiaoyan struggled to tear off the labels while muttering complaints.

Her delicate hands, accustomed to painting her nails, were now red and sore from being rubbed raw, and tears welled up in her eyes from feeling wronged.

Aunt Zhou Suqin, who worked with her, couldn't bear to see her clumsy.

"Xiaoyan, don't worry."

Zhou Suqin stopped what she was doing, came over, and taught her step by step.

"Look, you have to find the center line on the bottle first, and then use your thumb to push from the middle to both sides. This way, it won't bubble and it will stick perfectly."

Jiang Xiaoyan had been wearing a sour face and was not responding to him.

But Zhou Suqin was incredibly patient, demonstrating to her again and again.

At lunchtime, Zhou Suqin specially took a freshly steamed meat bun from her lunchbox and put it into Jiang Xiaoyan's bowl.

"You've just arrived, and you must be tired from the work. Eat more."

Those meat buns had thin skins and generous fillings; one bite and your mouth was filled with juicy goodness.

Looking at Zhou Suqin's simple and sincere face, Jiang Xiaoyan's resentment gradually dissipated.

What she found most irresistible was the food in the factory canteen.

This isn't a cafeteria, this is heaven!

On the first day, she made braised pork with potatoes. The pork chunks were cut bigger than her fist, fatty but not greasy, and melted in her mouth.

The next day, she ate braised chicken with rice. The chicken thigh meat was tender and juicy, and she could eat three bowls of rice with the broth.

On the third day, sweet and sour pork, Mapo tofu, shredded pork with garlic sauce...

The menu changes daily, and it's all-you-can-eat! Eat as much as you want!

Jiang Xiaoyan's stomach, which relied on instant noodles and cheap takeout to save money for bags, could hardly withstand this barrage of carbohydrates and protein.

After a few days, she was completely won over.

In the past, she felt guilty for eating even one more bite in order to maintain her "skinny" figure as a socialite.

Now, she rushes to the cafeteria faster than anyone else after finishing her work each day.

A month later, payday arrived.

Jiang Xiaoyan was sitting in her dormitory, rubbing her sore shoulders while calculating how much money she would be deducted from her salary this month.

Suddenly, her phone dinged.

It's a bank notification that the money has been deposited.

She reluctantly clicked on it.

[Dear customer, your account received a salary payment of 6800.00 yuan on [Date].]

Six thousand eight hundred yuan!

Jiang Xiaoyan stared blankly at the glaring number on her phone screen.

She rubbed her eyes hard and looked at it again.

That's right!

is 6800!

How...how is this possible?

She clearly wasted so many labels this month, was late twice, and even had her perfect attendance bonus deducted because she got into an argument with someone.

How can there be so much money?

Holding her phone, she rushed to the finance office like a gust of wind.

The older woman in the finance office adjusted her glasses and pulled up her pay slip.

"Base salary of five thousand, right?"

"Overtime pay is 1,200 yuan. You worked 40 hours of overtime this month."

"There's also a new employee subsidy of 300 and a night shift allowance of 300."

"After deducting the fine for the bad labels and all sorts of other miscellaneous charges, the final amount I received was six thousand eight."

The finance manager's voice reached Jiang Xiaoyan's ears clearly.

Jiang Xiaoyan's hands were trembling as she held the printed pay slip.

For the first time in her life, she earned so much "clean" money with her own hands.

While working at the hair salon, her official salary was three thousand. But to actually receive it, she had to endure harassment from greasy customers, sell those ridiculously expensive junk products against her conscience, and be treated like a thief by the proprietress.

But here, she can earn double the salary by simply sitting on the assembly line every day, repeating the same monotonous actions!

No need to worry about anyone's opinion!

You won't have to be insulted by anyone!

At that moment, an unprecedented sense of peace and satisfaction enveloped her.

Her eyes instantly reddened, and tears involuntarily streamed down her face.

When your mindset changes, you change as a person.

The first thing Jiang Xiaoyan did when she returned to her dormitory was to open WeChat Moments.

She hesitated for a moment, then deleted all the fake socialite photos she had posted of herself "virtually traveling" around the world.

Then, she took a picture of herself wearing blue overalls and holding a jar of strawberry jam.

She deliberately found a well-lit angle and took a picture of her profile with beads of sweat. The background was that modern factory.

She thought for a moment and then added a completely new caption.

[A day of striving for the family business! My hands are tired and my shoulders are sore, but I feel more fulfilled than ever before! Keep going, working people!]

The moment this post was published on WeChat Moments, the comments section exploded.

Those fake besties who used to like her posts every day immediately jumped out.

A commenter named "Lilian" wrote: "Hey, our socialite Xiaoyan, is she experiencing life on earth? Or is she just putting on an act?"

Another user, "Chanel-Coco," posted a sarcastic comment: "[This uniform is nice, did you buy it on Pinduoduo? Can you send me the link?]"

Looking at these sarcastic comments, if it were in the past, Jiang Xiaoyan would have been furious or simply deleted the post out of guilt.

But this time, she didn't.

She straightened her back and, with unprecedented confidence, directly retorted from below.

[This isn't acting! This is my family business! I'm a full-time employee now, and the company pays for my social security and housing fund! You people who live on social media by photoshopping and stealing pictures, what do you know!]

After posting this comment, Jiang Xiaoyan felt completely refreshed!

Not far away, Jiang Chen was leaning against the corner of the wall, looking at Jiang Xiaoyan's post on his WeChat Moments, a relieved smile on his face.

Although this girl has a lot of flaws, she is still a piece of rotten wood that can be carved.

There is still hope as long as we are willing to work hard and be down-to-earth.

Just then, Jiang Xiaoyan unexpectedly came looking for her.

She held a bottle of a product that had just been discontinued, looking a little embarrassed, but her eyes were very serious.

"Um... Brother Chen... oh no, Brother Chen!"

She changed her tune, and for the first time, her tone carried respect.

"I have a suggestion, but I'm not sure if I should say it."

"explain."

Jiang Chen looked at her encouragingly.

Jiang Xiaoyan pointed to the label on the bottle.

"Brother Chen, I think the underlying tone of our label is too tacky."

"This bright red color looks festive, but it's not sophisticated at all. Young people these days prefer lighter colors."

"If we could use that... what's it called again... right! The Morandi color scheme! And with gold lettering, it would definitely sell a hundred times better than it does now!"

Jiang Chen glanced at her with some surprise.

He didn't expect that this girl could actually offer some constructive suggestions.

Although it's only at the most basic aesthetic level, at least she's started to think about work-related matters more seriously.

"Okay, I've received your feedback. I'll have the design department come up with a few new proposals."

Jiang Chen nodded and accepted her suggestion.

Jiang Xiaoyan received affirmation, and a genuine smile appeared on her face, more beautiful than any of her previous meticulously edited selfies.

She ran off happily.

As Jiang Chen watched her retreating figure, the system's notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Detected that the host has successfully guided and modified family member "Jiang Xiaoyan," enabling her to establish correct labor values ​​and shed her vain and ostentatious mentality!]

[Family cohesion +10!]

[Congratulations, host, you have received a special reward: a set of intermediate packaging design blueprints!]

Jiang Chen's lips curled up slightly.

Not bad, this renovation was worth it!
