By the end of the three-month period, the company's performance had smoothly grown by 15%. Helen Blair kept her promise and gave everyone their salaries, plus extra bonuses, making everyone in the company very happy. On the day before Helen was to leave, the company held a farewell party for her.
The party was simple, with the whole company gathered together, a sound system and music playing. Everyone sat together, eating sunflower seeds and peanuts, drinking beer and green tea. Talented workers generously performed on stage, while those without talents took turns toasting Helen Blair, expressing their gratitude. At this moment, everyone was filled with grateful sentiment towards Helen, who had led them out of their difficulties and had always supported and encouraged them. They all felt that it was because of her that they had been given a chance to start over.
Later, Helen and Manager Murphy sat together drinking.
