Chapter 201: Filial piety in a very special way

Han Songlin knew that Xue Guiping would not doubt that he had a hidden illness without slapping him. What are you thinking, old man? This body is in perfect health, every day...

Forget it, I won't say anything!

'It's not that I'm sick! I went to the R&D department earlier and saw that they've been quite tired lately, so I want to get some tonic herbs and stew some chicken or pig's trotters for them to nourish themselves!'

Xue Guiping opened his mouth, a little at a loss for words.

'You take care of this right away, and get it done by noon!'

Noon?

Xue Guiping subconsciously looked at the clock on the wall, and it was almost eleven o'clock.

'Boss, I don't think it'll be ready in time for lunch; how about dinner instead? It'll take longer to stew, so it'll be tastier and all the nutrients will be released.'

Han Songlin thought Xue Guiping had a point: 'Then go shopping quickly, otherwise the food won't be fresh in the afternoon!'

'Oh, okay!'

As he left, Xue Guiping subconsciously looked back at Han Songlin.

It was rare to find a boss who made tonic soups for his employees.

It wasn't like this before.

What Han Songlin didn't know was that from that day on, Fuxing Industry would make this a tradition, basically having medicinal food every other meal.

They would even specially go to the countryside to buy old hens and roosters raised by farmers.

As soon as he returned to the office and sat down, Zheng Lin walked in with a strange expression on her face.

'Boss, I just realised that you really are a good boss!' As soon as she came in, Zheng Lin said this.

Han Songlin didn't know quite how to respond; was he really just a skinflint in Zheng Lin's eyes?

Pfft!

Liu Yuyan, who was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Han Songlin looked at her and wondered where she got the magazine; it looked like it belonged to a reader.

Well, it belonged to a reader with many female readers!

"I know I'm good! What's the matter with you popping in like this?'

Zheng Lin pulled out a chair and sat down: 'Xue Guiping asked me to go buy tonic herbs, chicken and pig's trotters.'

'Well, I told him to buy them!'

Zheng Lin naturally knew that it was Han Songlin who had asked him to buy them, and without Han Songlin's say-so, Xue Guiping would not dare make a decision.

Zheng Lin had seen through Xue Guiping.

He is old, and he always seems to be doing things in a very steady manner. Basically, he will never make a mistake, but it is also unlikely that he will do anything creative.

To put it bluntly, Xue Guiping is a perfect executor.

He will do things according to the requirements of his superiors.

If he can't make a decision, he will actively seek instructions. Make decisions and handle things on your own? Sorry, he won't.

Even if he does make a decision, he will report it afterwards.

'You're just giving tonics to the R&D staff, not to anyone else?'

Han Songlin stared at Zheng Lin, and naturally he didn't think Zheng Lin wanted to take medicinal food or anything.

When it came to food, Zheng Lin had tried everything.

Before, when Han Songlin was in Yanghe, he had taken Zheng Lin to basically try all the delicacies in Yanghe.

It was quite something that Zheng Lin loved to eat so much and had not gained weight.

That was excessive.

'Indeed, I did not consider this thoroughly.'

In corporate management, there are levels, and that is a natural thing; everyone knows this.

There are salary levels, and that's natural; everyone knows that. It's fine to have salary levels, because people with higher salaries are more capable. If you're less capable, you should get paid less.

No one can say anything about that.

At Fuxing, the salary levels are clearly written down.

If you're capable, you should get paid more; if you want to get paid more, then improve your capabilities.

No one would think that's wrong.

But when it comes to benefits, it's best not to do things like that.

It's not a lack of food that causes problems, it's the unequal distribution!

This medicinal food is not worth much, and it's obvious that it can be shared with everyone, but only the R&D people have it. To be honest, don't you think other people will have thoughts in their hearts?

Zheng Lin felt a little relieved. It seems that she did not make a mistake in reminding Xue Guiping.

'I have already told Xue Guiping to purchase more, so that everyone in the factory can eat it.'

Han Songlin looked at Zheng Lin and was not angry with her for taking matters into her own hands. Instead, he agreed, 'That's not a bad idea. In the future, the factory can do this every month. This food supplement will have some effect.'

Every year at the beginning of winter, many families have the habit of preparing tonic foods such as stewed chicken to eat, in order to strengthen their resistance to the winter.

It's hard to say how effective it is.

But medicine and food come from the same source, and there's no harm in tonic food.

'This will increase the factory's expenses...'

Han Songlin waved his hand and said nonchalantly, 'Providing benefits to employees will definitely lead to more in return. The factory's expenses will increase, but it will also make employees more dedicated to production, won't it? In the end, the factory will make a profit no matter what!'

If it can improve product quality, this is definitely a good thing!

To be honest, what kind of thinking is it to pay frontline workers very low wages and expect them to work hard?

In the past, people had no choice; now they have a choice, and there is no reason to work in your factory.

'Moreover, if the factory cannot even guarantee the wages and benefits of its employees, is there any point in continuing to operate?'

Zheng Lin: 'I think it should continue to operate. At the very least, we can ensure that they have a job and can support their basic living.'

'Okay, it's almost noon, let's go to the canteen to eat.'

'You're eating in the canteen when your wife is here?' Zheng Lin said, looking at Liu Yuyan.

After Han Songlin left earlier, Zheng Lin ran over to get close to Liu Yuyan.

Zheng Lin doesn't pay lip service to many people, but that doesn't mean she is stupid.

She still needs to get along with the boss's wife.

And from Xu Lu, she heard that Liu Yuyan is quite nice.

Zheng Lin took the magazine from her own hand.

Let's see what Zheng Lin usually does in the factory.

Han Songlin: 'Come on, I know you. Today at lunch, the cafeteria. In the evening, I can take you to eat something delicious.'

'I'd rather eat in the cafeteria in the evening!'

She rolled her eyes at Zheng Lin, and the girl was really practical.

Han Ting ran over, grabbed Han Songlin's pant leg, and said in a baby voice, 'Dad, I want to eat something delicious!'

Han Songlin couldn't help but smile. This little girl really gets excited when she hears about food.

He picked Han Ting up and scratched her little face. Now that Han Songlin doesn't scratch her nose, don't let her nose collapse, that wouldn't look good.

'You're a greedy eater!'

Han Ting tilted her head and said, 'It's not what you said, Dad. Didn't you say that only good food and your mother can't be let down?'

Zheng Lin looked at Han Songlin with wide eyes. The boss's love speech was pretty good!

I have to find a little notebook to write this down.

Wait, why would I write it down? Who would I tell?

Liu Yuyan blushed with shame and scolded, 'Ting'er, don't talk nonsense!'

As she spoke, she gave Han Songlin a fierce glare.

See, I told you not to say that in front of the children, and now Han Ting has remembered it.

It's really embarrassing!

Han Songlin was also a little embarrassed. He didn't know that Han Ting would remember this.

'Ahem, yes, in the future, you must remember what you said today: you must not let your mother down, and you must never let her down!'

Han Ting nodded seriously: 'Yes, I know! In the future, I will definitely be a good daughter.'

Zheng Lin teased, "So how are you going to be a good daughter?'

Han Ting bit her finger and said seriously, "I will burn more joss paper for my mother!'
