76: Chapter 76 Huge Progress! One House a Month!

Chapter 76: Huge Progress! A House Every Month!

"N (years of service) + 3?"

"Yeah!" He Zhiheng nodded. "I've been at the factory for less than half a year, so I only get three months' compensation. Some who have been there a long time can get hundreds of thousands in one go!"

Su Yang looked at He Zhiheng and suddenly thought of Chen Li.

If that guy knew about He Zhiheng's compensation, he'd probably be dying of envy!

After eating his fill and paying the bill, Su Yang said goodbye to his cousin.

On the way to the underground parking lot, Su Yang briefly told his mother about his cousin's situation.

"Then take a little care of your cousin. You know, he's an honest and dutiful child. He was very hard-working when he helped our family thresh grain before!"

"I know!"

"As for your Third Aunt, should I go talk to her?"

Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "Better let me do it!"

When he mentioned the matter to Third Aunt, she immediately asked:

"Is he really up for it? Won't he get in the way of your business?"

Su Yang felt a bit helpless; his cousin wasn't that bad.

If he were truly the kind of deadwood that couldn't be propped up, Su Yang wouldn't even bother with him!

"He'll definitely be fine. This job is relatively simple; as long as he works hard and stays diligent, it'll be okay!"

"Alright, if there's anything he's not doing well, just point it out directly!"

"I understand!"

"Then I'll leave it to you, Yangyang!"

"Mm!"

Driving the car out of the parking lot, Su Yang didn't go to the gym but headed straight home.

The gym's fifth-anniversary challenge event wasn't over yet, and there had been many people at the gym lately.

If he went now, he'd likely run right into the peak after-work hours.

There was no need for him to compete with customers for equipment!

Back at home, Su Yang gave Mei Jingshan a heads-up.

He explained that a young man named He Zhiheng would come to apply tomorrow and asked her to pass him through.

Mei Jingshan asked if he needed any special treatment, but Su Yang immediately declined:

"Just treat him as a regular employee. Put him in the Market Expansion Department, give him good training, and send him out to find shop locations."

"Okay, I understand!"

Mei Jingshan didn't think much of it; she just noted down the name.

The next day, as Su Yang sat in the Jiuxiang Catering headquarters, he heard the system notification:

[Ding~ Jiuxiang Catering employee He Zhiheng's loyalty has increased to 90. You have received a 200,000 cash reward.]

Su Yang looked at the 200,000, slightly surprised.

It was quite rare for him to encounter such a large cash reward.

But thinking of his cousin, he felt it was actually quite possible!

As for the 90 points of loyalty, Su Yang felt it probably wasn't toward the company.

But toward him as a person.

However, at least an employee with 90 loyalty had appeared in the catering company.

Truly something to celebrate!

He took out his phone, intending to call He Zhiheng.

But after hesitating for a moment, he didn't dial.

In the Human Resources office, He Zhiheng said in surprise, "A base salary of six thousand?"

The HR Manager leaned back in his chair and said, "There's only a one-month internship. After becoming a permanent employee, the base salary is six thousand, and we'll pay for your social security. This salary and benefits package is quite good!"

"Everyone has a six thousand base salary?"

He Zhiheng had some experience, after all, and felt this base salary was a bit exaggerated.

"That's right!" the HR Manager said as if it were a matter of course. "Didn't you see our recruitment ad?"

"I forgot!"

He Zhiheng smiled awkwardly.

He felt relieved; he had been worried his cousin was giving him special treatment.

Remembering that the Vice President had put in a word for this person, the HR Manager patiently added:

"If the shop locations you find pass the company's final audit, there's also a ten-thousand-yuan bonus."

He Zhiheng was stunned by this bonus.

The HR Manager laughed. "But the bonus isn't that easy to get. Our company is very strict about shop selection; it requires the boss's final approval."

By the afternoon, Su Yang passed by the Market Expansion Department's office. Manager Zhou was giving a training session to the new employees.

The three young men were all listening intently, occasionally taking notes on A4 paper.

Su Yang glanced over and saw that He Zhiheng had the most notes on his paper.

Of course, it was also possible he just couldn't grasp the main points...

But his attitude was good!

Just then, Manager Zhou also saw Su Yang.

"Boss!"

The other three interns who were listening to the lecture also hurriedly stood up.

The two new hires were quite nervous, while He Zhiheng was slightly more composed.

Su Yang smiled. "Are these the company's new recruits?"

Manager Zhou quickly replied, "Yes, Boss!"

"Mm." Su Yang, with his back to Manager Zhou, looked at the three newcomers and encouraged them, "Take your training seriously. Good luck!"

"Okay!"

"Thank you, Boss!"

"Okay, Boss!"

The three newcomers replied respectfully.

Faced with Su Yang's presence, even He Zhiheng couldn't help but lower his head.

But when he looked up, he saw his cousin smiling and nodding at him.

In an instant, He Zhiheng felt a warmth in his heart.

A surge of pride welled up within him!

Look!

This is my cousin!

My cousin is the big boss, he's your boss!

At this moment, he had the urge to shout "Cousin."

But he suppressed that impulse by force.

He suddenly remembered that he was the one who suggested not making their "relationship" public yesterday.

It was a bit uncomfortable!

After dropping his cousin into the Market Expansion Department, Su Yang didn't plan to manage him for the time being.

He only needed to call occasionally to show concern and encouragement.

Anyway, the benefits in the Market Expansion Department were decent, and running around outside was quite good for training a person.

Once his business grew, even if He Zhiheng didn't achieve much in the Market Expansion Department, Su Yang would have plenty of places to put him.

Someone with such high loyalty would be useful anywhere.

Back in his office, Su Yang leisurely opened his attribute panel:

After setting up Jiuxiang Catering in August, his employee count began to explode!

At the Jiuxiang Catering headquarters, the number of employees in the Market Expansion Department had already exceeded thirty, becoming the most bloated and disproportionate department in the entire company.

The two newly opened hot pot restaurants, along with the fourth one about to open, contributed another 70 employees to Su Yang.

Among these 70 employees, there were no chefs for frying the hot pot base.

Currently, all the hot pot bases were handled solely by Ding Hanyi, the head chef of the Feida Plaza hot pot restaurant.

For this, Su Yang had specifically given him a ten-thousand-yuan raise.

After some time, Su Yang would definitely establish a Central Kitchen for the catering shops.

At that time, he would transfer Ding Hanyi to the Central Kitchen. In the future, all hot pot bases for Jiuxiang Catering, as well as various semi-finished food products, would come from there.

This would not only be convenient for management but also save on costs.

It was somewhat like a food processing plant, but the investment was relatively high, potentially requiring several million!

As the number of Jiuxiang Catering employees surpassed one hundred.

The special buffs for his hot pot restaurants also increased from +30% deliciousness and -15% physical harm...

...to +50% deliciousness and -30% physical harm.

While there were no new buffs for reaching one hundred employees this time, the existing buffs were all upgraded, which gave Su Yang some measure of satisfaction.

In addition, he also gained 3 constitution attribute points.

This allowed his constitution attribute to break the 20-point mark, reaching 22 points.

What made Su Yang happiest was the 2.33 million cash rebate on the seventh of this month.

Over two million a month—at this stage, he could already buy a house in Rongcheng!

The progress was very obvious!
