Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Indeed, Pan's mother was holding a small mirror; she had started paying attention to her appearance even at home.

Looking at the table again, before Aunt Pan went to work, it should have been full of hot food by now.

Right now, there's not a single hair left!

But faced with his mother, who was acting like she was on steroids, how could Pan Xueli dare to talk about resigning?

But before he could speak, Aunt Pan spoke first.

Pan's mother put down the mirror, stood up, and said, "By the way, my dear son, I heard that our factory is doing better and better. The big boss has decided to expand production and hire more workers next year."

"Your narcotics investigation department deals with drug dealers every day; it's too dangerous. How about this: you quit your job, and Mom will support you for now."

“When the factory expands next year, you can join. Your mother will be there to protect you. Then, we can work together, and in a few years, I will be the factory manager and you will be the deputy factory manager.”

Pan Xueli was so angry he felt like he was going to vomit blood.

My mom has really gone crazy, she's been driven crazy by work.

Now, not only do they stop doing housework, but people in their fifties are also starting to build their careers.

Pan Xueli's family is not an isolated case.

Many family members of police officers working in Xiaoshan are experiencing similar situations.

There's nothing we can do; many of them have never worked in their entire lives.

Even those who had jobs didn't achieve much when they were young.

But things are different now.

Many people were given positions as soon as they entered the factory, and some big shots even became factory managers.

They certainly don't see this as a benefit brought about by a servant in their household.

They would only feel that they were actually quite talented, and that after all these years, someone had finally recognized their worth.

I've wandered half my life, yet never met a wise ruler!

Now that a wise ruler has arrived, we must work hard.

This wouldn't have been a big deal. If you're going to work hard, then work hard. Nobody's holding anyone back.

The problem is that while Hong Kong's police officers' salaries haven't decreased due to economic development, their purchasing power has plummeted.

On the other hand, the factory wages are among the highest in Hong Kong.

As time went by, many family members were surprised to discover that I was actually the highest earner in the family.

Those with good tempers are alright; it's the same as before.

But those with bad tempers can change drastically.

For example, the mother of one police officer was a floor sweeper in a factory.

Even sweeping made her tremble.

Auntie, I sweep the floors at the factory; I earn a salary from that!

You want me to sweep the floor after I get home? No way!

In short, Xiaoshan arranged for the family members of these police officers to work at the Taishan Group's factory, increasing their family income, but also causing some minor conflicts.

You could say there are gains and losses in everything.

Chapter 670, Annual Meeting! (Please subscribe!)

Time quickly came to December 20, 1977.

Because Taishan Group has a large number of employees, it has booked out most of the restaurants in Hong Kong today.

As the group's big boss, Xiao Shan naturally visits every hotel and speaks with the employees there.

The employees of Taishan Foods, who are also the family members of those police officers, were all arranged to attend the annual meeting at Hongyun Restaurant today.

Li Xianbao, as the general manager of Taishan Food, personally stood at the hotel entrance to welcome guests today.

He was joined by some senior executives from Taishan Foods in welcoming the guests.

Pan Xueli and his family of three also arrived quite early today.

As soon as the three arrived, Pan Xueli noticed that many of the police officers' family members had already arrived.

When Pan's mother saw Li Xianbao greeting guests at the door, she immediately went up to him and said, "Mr. Li, this is my son, and this is my husband."

Li Xianbao had an excellent memory. He only glanced at Aunt Pan before immediately reaching out his hand and saying, "Mrs. Pan, so early!"

"Hello, Mr. Pan! Hello, Mr. Pan!"

Li Xianbao spoke primarily about Pan's mother, yet remained polite and respectful, showing no disrespect to Pan Xueli and his son.

Just one encounter was enough to greatly increase Pan Xueli and his son's goodwill towards this handsome man.

The father and son both extended their hands and said politely, "Mr. Li, hello."

"Huh, learning etiquette?" As the two were talking, a surprised voice came from behind.

Looking back, the newcomers were two men and two women, a family of four.

The speaker was a mature man in his forties.

“Zhou Sir!” Pan Xueli recognized him. Wasn’t he the leader of their Narcotics Investigation Unit B Team?

However, Pan Xueli did not work under him, and they were not particularly close.

"What a coincidence, we all know each other," Li Xianbao said with a smile.

"Team Leader Pan, this must be your son. He is indeed a handsome young man." Before the two could exchange more words, an old man of about sixty years old next to Zhou Sir spoke up.

The old man was tall and wore an expensive suit, with a smug look on his face.

"Who is this uncle?" Pan Xueli didn't recognize the old man and was taken aback.

His mother immediately stepped forward and said to the old man, "Director Zhou, you're up so early too!"

"Yes, it's quite a coincidence that my son knows your son," the old man said with a smile. "Come, let's sit together for a while. We're all from the same factory, so we should look out for each other."

After a slight pause, the old man said with some pride, "Team Leader Pan, don't worry, my son still has influence in the police station. If your son needs anything in the future, just let me know. I'm the factory manager, so it's only right that I help you with some small problems in your lives."

The old man looked proud and kept mentioning his identity in his words.

Zhou Sir, who was standing nearby, looked miserable and shook his head repeatedly when he looked up at Pan Xueli.

"Oh, thank you so much, Director Zhou!" Pan's mother said happily upon hearing the old man's words.

By the time Xiao Shan arrived at Hongyun Restaurant, the banquet was already more than halfway through.

While the employees and their families were drinking, a table was set up in the empty space.

The stage was equipped with speakers and microphones.

People were constantly carrying various items adorned with large red flowers onto the stage, keeping everyone busy.

Li Xianbao and some senior executives from Taishan Foods stood below the stage, making arrangements.

When Xiao Shan arrived, the arrangements had just been completed.

As Xiao Shan entered Hongyun Restaurant, the employees present all stood up to greet him.

"Xiao Sheng!"

"Boss, come, let me toast you to thank you for your promotion."

"Son, come here quickly, let Xiao Sheng take a look."

"Xiao Sheng, this is my son, a junior policeman, not very successful."

……

Faced with these enthusiastic employees, even Xiao Shan was a little overwhelmed: "Everyone, everyone, we can drink later! Please make way for me. Since today is the group's annual meeting, shouldn't I, as the boss, say a few words?"

Upon hearing Xiao Shan's words, the enthusiastic employees quickly made way.

"Yes, make way for Xiao Sheng! What are you doing blocking the way?"

"Yes, Xiao Sheng, just say what you have to say, we're all listening."

"Xiao Sheng, you absolutely must come over later. Our whole family wants to toast you."

……

"Okay, okay, no problem!" Xiao Shan replied casually as he walked towards the platform.

When Xiao Shan went on stage and picked up the microphone, the employees present immediately fell silent without any prompting.

Xiao Shan slowly began to speak: "Today is our group's first annual meeting! It's fate that we can all work in the same place."

"According to the detailed reports of the group, every business of our group is highly profitable."

"Not only that, our monthly turnover is steadily increasing."

"All of this is thanks to everyone's joint efforts. I want to thank you all!"

Upon hearing Xiao Shan's words, the crowd erupted in applause and cheers.

After the applause subsided, Xiao Shan continued, "The group's performance this year is so good, and everyone here deserves credit for it."

"Therefore, I have decided that all employees in our group will receive a 10% salary increase, and management will receive a 15% salary increase."

"There are also some personal awards, which will be given to the most outstanding employees. Afterwards, the company will send someone to commend them!"

Upon hearing that Xiaoshan would raise everyone's salaries, the atmosphere at the scene became even more heated.

Some people even stood up, applauded, and clapped.

"Well done, Mr. Xiao, you are truly magnanimous."

"Raising salaries at this time, we're practically the only ones in all of Hong Kong doing this!"

"Yeah, haha, 15%, that's quite a lot!"

"I performed the best, but I don't know if I'll receive any awards."

"Why doesn't Xiao Sheng reward me now? I should definitely be included!"

"Are you an idiot? There are so many people here. If we were to award prizes here, how long would it take to distribute them?"

……

The employees were very excited, but the police officers who came to the annual meeting had mixed feelings.

While they were happy to see their family members receive a raise, they also had some reservations.

Even before the pay raise, the family members were already starting to lose control.

Now that salaries have suddenly increased, will there even be room for me to stand at home anymore?

For example, Pan Xueli and his son are almost deaf right now.

Pan Xueli's mother, her face flushed, shouted at the top of her lungs, "Hey, honey, sweetie, do you think I'm also part of management? Shouldn't I get a 15% raise too? Hehehe, quick, calculate how much it is."

"Honey, where are your usual paper and pen? Take them out!"

"Son, what do you think? I told you our factory is better than you being a policeman! Listen to your mother, quit your job tomorrow and come work for me in the factory."

"The factory is doing well now, so Xiao Sheng will definitely hire more people. Mom will go talk to Xiao Sheng in a bit."

Hearing his mother's words, Pan Xueli's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "Mom, Xiao Sheng is very busy, so please don't bother him."

"Also, now that you're in management, you're the envy of many. You need to perform well and avoid any underhanded tactics. If people find out, they'll be jealous of you."

Pan Xueli spoke without blushing or skipping a beat, but he was actually about to vomit.

Is a deputy team leader who manages two people considered a management team?

But what could he do? Didn't he see his own mother was about to jump up and down?

If I don't speak up and control myself, she might actually go to the police station and resign on my behalf.

"Sigh!" Just then, a sigh rang out beside Pan Xueli.

Pan Xueli looked up and saw a guy across from him giving him a wry smile.
