The town behind the snow is quiet.

The prefabricated plate factory has completely stopped work at this time. The last group of workers received their wages and left. This year's work will be over.

Most people who get their wages have smiles on their faces.

As the end of the year approaches, there is more money on hand, which is of course a blessing.

Some people want to go to a restaurant for a good meal; some want to go to the county town and buy New Year's goods; some want to go home quickly and reunite with their wives and children.

However, nothing can satisfy everyone. Some people feel happy, and naturally some people feel troubled. Some people dislike working hard for a month, but the money they get is far less than the two bosses and a few managers.

At the entrance of the factory, two workers who had just received their wages from the shed.

"It seems that I have paid a lot of wages this time. I have given us an extra holiday fee. How much do you get?" A worker asked another worker beside him.

"Hi, aren't it all the same? What's there to ask about this?" the other worker replied casually.

"It's different. I heard someone took eighty."

"Eighty? We only got sixty, who got eighty?"

"Shh, whisper, I heard that Hu Laosan took eighty, and this guy usually brings cigarettes and wine to Xu Ming..."

While the two of them were muttering at the door, they suddenly felt a murderous aura coming from behind. When they looked back, they were so scared that they were scattered.

When Cao Cao came, the two of them were talking about Xu Ming intending to calculate more wages for the workers who curry favor with him. However, Xu Ming had never thought that he would be killed behind him at some point.

The two workers smiled awkwardly: "Brother Xu, why is there no sound in your aisle?"

Xu Ming slapped one of them in the face and cursed angrily: "My mother, I have paid you some holiday fees. I originally wanted you to go back for a good New Year. You two are so good, so you chew your tongue here."

The beaten worker quickly shook his head and admitted his mistake: "Brother Xu, we know we were wrong."

"Damn, Hu Laosan works harder than you. Do you think I am blind and can't see it? He has done the most work this month. Do you have any objections to pay him more wages? Who the hell told you that Hu Laosan has sent me cigarettes and alcohol? Let me hear you pull a few eggs behind you and carefully break your legs!"

"Yes, we will never dare to do it again."

"Get out with the money!"

Xu Ming drank the two workers and walked into the factory in anger.

This changed his temper when he was watching a casino in the past, so he had to give these two dog days a look.

"Oh, what's going on? Why are you so angry?"

Xu Ming took two steps and heard someone calling him behind his back. He recognized the voice and heard that it was Li Shaoan, so he quickly turned around and met him.

"Boss, why are you free to come here today?"

"Come to find my sister, is she here?"

"I'm still settled wages for workers in the shed." As he said that, Xu Ming took Li Shaoan to the factory.

Li Shaoan pulled him and asked, "What happened just now?"

Xu Ming explained: "Hi, what can happen? It's these ungrateful things. Sister Hong kindly gave them a holiday fee. They were gossiping behind their backs. Sometimes they thought this was sent more than themselves, and sometimes they thought that that was sent more. Who do you think this was sent more?"

Listening to Xu Ming's complaints, the two of them came to the simple shed in the prefabricated factory.

There were seven or eight workers in the shed lined up to collect wages. Tang Hongyan sat high on the Grand Master's chair, with a brazier under her feet, and a square table in front of her. On the table was a large black leather bag, full of cash. Tang Hongyan also had a table in her hand, which recorded in detail the wages that each worker in the factory should pay last month.

The workers who received the money nodded to Sister Hong and hurriedly left with the money. The remaining workers who were still queuing up were eagerly looking forward to their turn earlier.

After Xu Ming brought Li Shaoan here, he knew that the siblings had something to say, so he said a message to Sister Hong and left on his own.

Li Shaoan did not rush to disturb Tang Hongyan, but waited until she settled everyone's wages before stepping forward.

"I heard from Xu Ming that you also specially paid every worker a holiday fee."

"Yes, our prefabricated board factory has a good income today. I want to give them more money and let everyone go back and have a good New Year."

"Sister, if you want to say that you are kind-hearted and always think about the people below. No wonder everyone is willing to follow you."

Tang Hongyan smiled helplessly and said, "You flatter you just slapped the horse's legs. The reality is that it is the beginning of spring next year, and I don't know how many people are willing to stay and do it."

Li Shaoan frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"In fact, our prefabricated board factory made some money this year, mainly due to the middle of the year. By the end of the year, fewer houses were built, and the sales of prefabricated boards also decreased. Therefore, the factory's performance in the past few months is far from what it expected."

"Have you lost in the past few months?"

"There is no loss, but the income has been reduced by nearly half, and I have to bear the wages of so many workers. There is really no way to reduce everyone's wages a little, so I intend to make up for everyone's wages this time."

What Tang Hongyan mentioned is a very practical problem. The income of prefabricated plate factories has declined. If there is no way to reverse the sales situation, they will inevitably have to adjust the wages of workers.

However, it is easy to get from low to high, but it is difficult to get from high to low. Because the salary drops, there are many people who have complaints in their hearts, but most of them are forced to Tang Hongyan's reputation and dare not express anything.

"Can you show me the salary bill?"

Since opening this prefabricated board factory with Tang Hongyan, Li Shaoan has rarely interfered in operational matters. Today, he heard Tang Hongyan talk about the troubles he encountered, and then he thought about whether he could help.

Tang Hongyan gave Li Shaoan the payroll. Of course, she was happy to see Li Shaoan take action. She was quite confident in managing her subordinates, but she felt that she was still a little amateur when she wanted to manage the prefabricated board factory.

In comparison, Li Shaoan already has experience in managing rice noodle factories, and it is much easier to solve the problems of prefabricated factories.

"Sister, how many workers are there in our prefabricated plate factory now?"

When he saw the salary payment bill, Li Shaoan couldn't help but frown. At first glance, it was filled with dense names, at least thirty or forty.

Tang Hongyan said: "There are a total of forty-three people who paid the wages this time."

Li Shaoan shook his head and said, "I can't take so many people."

"You mean there are too many workers?"

"As the current scale of our factory, we don't need so many people. If the scale is larger in the future, it's another matter, but if it's just right in front of us, this person will be at least 30% more."
