Chapter 727: Giving Red Packets, Increasing Pay
Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Yundong looked around and realized that although everyone was in good spirits, their bodies were indeed quite tired.

She knew that everyone had been working hard recently. In order to keeping the supply in the shop, no one had rested.

Gu Yundong was very touched by how much everyone had sacrificed for the workshop.

Especially when she saw the inventory in the storeroom at the back, she was even more moved.

Hence, after coming out, she said to everyone, “It’s been hard on everyone during this period of time. In a few days, when new long-term workers are hired, everyone will be able to relax a little. To thank everyone for your hard work these days, I’ll give everyone a red packet tomorrow to celebrate. Everyone, please don’t find it small.”

“Ah…” The long-term workers in the workshop immediately cheered. Even the fatigue on their bodies was swept away.

“Boss, we don’t mind if it’s not too little. One copper coin is fine.”

“Boss, it’s not hard on us. We’re so happy to be able to work in the workshop.”

“That’s right, Boss. The food in this workshop is very good. I don’t even want to go home.”

“Boss, don’t worry. We definitely won’t let the supply in the shop break. Even if you open another shop, we can still provide it.”

“That’s right, that’s right. The boss’s business is doing well.”

Everyone chimed in one after another, making it lively and willing.

Gu Yundong felt a surge of warmth in her heart. These people always used the simplest language to express their sincerest feelings. They were really very cute.

The smile on Gu Yundong’s face widened. “Thank you, everyone. You’re all so capable. It would be unreasonable not to increase your salary.”

“Whoosh.” The excited voice was even louder than before.

Compared to red packets, the increase in salary was naturally more exciting.

Someone even shouted, “We can work for another hundred years.”

Gu Yundong staggered and almost lost her balance. She smiled at the person who spoke and shook her head before leaving.

She had indeed gone back to prepare red packets and increase their salary.

Actually, there had been an increase in wages before. Now, most of the people in the workshop earned 800 copper coins a month.

The junior managers already had one tael of silver.

The Zeng couple each had one tael of silver each.

This time, the salary was raised to one tael for everyone else, and 1.2 taels for the junior managers. It could be considered an increase of two hundred copper coins each.

There were also red packets. 500 copper coins per person to buy delicious food for everyone.

Gu Yundong asked Tong An to prepare the money. She did not wait until the next day and distributed them that night.

Not long after Tong An left, Shen Sitian returned. She did not look too good.

When she saw Gu Yundong at home, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she quickly smiled. “You’re back? I heard that the shops in the prefectural city are very busy and lively, right? How are Aunt Yang and Keke? Where’s Aunt Ke?”

Gu Yundong sighed and pulled her to the side to sit down. “You look much more haggard than before I left. What happened? Do you want to tell me?”

Shen Sitian lowered her head and suddenly smiled bitterly. “Actually, it’s nothing much. It’s just that you suddenly went to the prefectural city. This house suddenly became much quieter, so I’m not used to it.”

Gu Yundong did not believe her. “We’re friends. Between friends, no matter if we’re happy or unhappy, we can talk to each other. Sitian, you can try telling me and I’ll give you ideas.”
