As the end of the year approached, it was easy to imagine how busy Fan Tianyu's business must have been, especially after January when the inventory of vegetables in his store increased by 5,000 yuan, and they were all sold out. Though the amount of vegetables had increased, the business hours had actually been shortened day by day, from initially closing at 3-4 a.m. to now ending at 2-3 p.m., one could surmise how heavy the workload for the staff must have been each day.
For this reason, after the staff became permanent, Fan Tianyu gave them an increase of 300 yuan in their salaries, which meant that from January, each staff member could earn a salary of 1,800 yuan, with one meal included at noon. Despite the busy work, this treatment was considered quite good in their area, considering it was only a half-day shift.
