I'm back in 1990

Chapter 321: Forced Marriage

With the annual Spring Festival approaching, Times Supermarket is making preparations for the holiday.

There is a lot of work to be done, and it is very complicated. For example, in order to ensure a sufficient supply of goods for the Spring Festival, we started ordering and preparing more than three months ago. Now we are making a large purchase, and delivery trucks come and go every day. At busy times, they even block the receiving area of ​​Times Supermarket.

Because there were too many goods, Jiang Bixing also arranged for people to rent several large warehouses outside to temporarily store the goods.

There are also adjustments to business hours during the Spring Festival and overtime arrangements for employees, with employees receiving three days' pay for each day they work overtime, but this only applies to employees working on the front lines.

For employees, supervisors, and managers, they only need to do their own job well, but Jiang Bixing, as the general manager, has a lot more to do.

This includes new employee training, new store renovation progress, fixed asset purchases, internal loss management, new store staffing, promotion approvals for supervisors and above, the 1994 salary adjustment plan, and performance evaluations for management trainees and store manager trainees.

Although Jiang Bixing is extremely busy every day, he is still full of ambition to achieve even greater results, because the first batch of funds provided by the group in accordance with the five-year development strategy has arrived. According to the plan, the group will allocate a total of 370 million yuan to Times Supermarket this year for external expansion.

If Jiang Bixing uses this money to achieve this year's performance targets, the group will provide an additional 30% funding support next year. Of course, the performance targets will also be raised accordingly, but Jiang Bixing is confident that he can achieve them.

As Times Supermarket continues to open new stores, some of the first batch of veteran employees have been promoted due to their outstanding work performance, including Chang Jing.

She was promoted from cashier to accounting management trainee supervisor and is currently undergoing supervisor training. Once she passes the assessment, the "trainee" title will be removed, and her salary and benefits will increase significantly. However, her responsibilities will also be greater.

Because Times Supermarket has much higher requirements for employees at the supervisor level and above than for ordinary employees.

Chang Jing cherishes this job. Times Supermarket is completely different from the textile factory where she used to work. Not only is the salary high and the benefits good, but they even held an annual meeting in early January this year.

Considering the large number of supermarket employees, the event was divided into two sessions, and the venue was surprisingly a star-rated hotel.

When everyone arrived, they realized that the annual party was just the company treating everyone to dinner and giving out bonuses.

Upon entering the hotel, I saw a table set up in front of the banquet hall, piled high with cash, and various gifts scattered on the floor.

This was the first time Chang Jing had ever seen such a scene, and neither had anyone else. Every employee who entered the banquet hall and saw this scene couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!"

Before dinner, year-end bonuses and benefits should be distributed to employees in each department. Then, outstanding individuals should be selected and commended based on their usual work performance.

Chang Jing was promoted because she was selected as an outstanding individual of the year. The title of outstanding individual is much more prestigious than it was when she was in the factory. When she was in the factory, being an outstanding individual just meant receiving a certificate and a towel or a teacup.

Even if you get a raise of one or half a grade, it won't amount to much money.

The supermarket awarded a bonus of 3,000 yuan to outstanding individuals. According to General Manager Jiang, good work deserves praise and rewards, and outstanding individuals will also be promoted and given a raise. This is to let everyone know that as long as you work hard, you will definitely be rewarded.

As a result, Chang Jing's year-end bonus plus the outstanding individual award exceeded six thousand yuan.

When the HR manager announced Chang Jing's name as the recipient of the Annual Outstanding Individual award, Chang Jing didn't react at first. It was only when her colleague sitting next to her nudged her that she realized the HR manager had just announced her name.

When she nervously received the award for outstanding individual, the rather thick envelope in her hand confirmed that it was all real.

Back in her seat, Chang Jing thought back to a year ago when she was worried about the upcoming Spring Festival because her family had run out of money.

However, since joining Times Supermarket, her family's life has obviously improved. Moreover, the supermarket's employee union visited each employee's family to understand their situation, so naturally the union learned about Chang Jing's family's situation.

Soon, Chang Jing received a notification that she would receive a subsidy of 400 yuan per month. This meant that her bedridden mother-in-law would have a fixed income every month. With this money, Chang Jing could hire a caregiver to help take care of her mother-in-law every day, freeing up her time for work and life.

Chang Jing felt she had no way to repay the supermarket for its care and concern, so she worked hard to repay it.

Chang Jing felt she had no way to repay the supermarket for its care and concern, so she worked hard to repay it.

Now, Chang Jing has even greater expectations for the future, and she believes that life will get better and better.

At the end of January, after receiving a call from Mai Guangde, Jiang Bixing went to Huang Xiaochuan's office.

"Old Jiang, what are you standing for? Come and sit down!" Huang Xiaochuan warmly invited Jiang Bixing to sit down and talk.

"Come on, have a taste! I just brewed some Tieguanyin tea, it's fragrant and sweet." Huang Xiaochuan skillfully brewed a cup of Kung Fu tea and placed it in front of Jiang Bixing.

"Thank you, Chairman!" Jiang Bixing picked up the cup, smelled it like Huang Xiaochuan, and then drank it in two gulps. After finishing, he smacked his lips.

Huang Xiaochuan asked with a smile, "How does it taste?"

Jiang Bixing told the truth: "I couldn't taste it."

Huang Xiaochuan: ""

Alright! This is a terrible waste! Giving you top-grade Tieguanyin tea is a waste; you should just drink a soft drink instead!

Huang Xiaochuan stood up and pointed at Jiang Bixing with his finger: "You! Giving you good stuff is such a waste."

As he walked to the door, he said to Mai Guangde, "Guangde, get a can of Jianlibao for General Manager Jiang."

"Okay! Got it!"

After receiving the Jianlibao, Jiang Bixing took a big gulp and then burped.

"I still prefer to drink this!"

Then Jiang Bixing asked, "Chairman, what brings you here?"

Have the year-end bonuses and New Year's gifts been arranged for rural teachers in northwestern Sichuan?

"We arranged for someone to go there the day before yesterday. As you requested, we gave each rural teacher a bonus of 1,000 yuan, and also purchased a New Year's gift in Chengdu at a standard of 500 yuan per person, and chartered a car to deliver it there."

"I thought it was something serious! You could have just given me a call."

"I was thinking that you've been working hard, so I invited a few people to have dinner with you tonight. But it seems like you don't need it. Well, that saves me some money."

Upon hearing that Huang Xiaochuan was inviting him to dinner, Jiang Bixing quickly said, "Chairman, why didn't you say so earlier? I'm free. Who else have you invited?"

Huang Xiaochuan counted on his fingers and told Jiang Bixing the names of the people he had invited: "Sang Weihong, Mao Zhiyong, Zeng Caihe, and Tang Jingshu."

Mao Zhiyong and Zeng Caihe were classmates of Jiang Bixing, and the three of them had a very good relationship. Moreover, both of them were now assigned to work in Shanghai. Sang Weihong and Tang Jingshu were a year younger than Jiang Bixing, but they were very familiar with each other.

Huang Xiaochuan organized the gathering tonight mainly to matchmake Jiang Bixing and Tang Jingshu. This idea came from Sang Weihong. So, Huang Xiaochuan organized the gathering and invited people, while Sang Weihong acted as the matchmaker. Mao Zhiyong and Zeng Caihe were there to help out.

It goes without saying that old classmates meet again. Although we don't see each other often after starting work, we were already on good terms, so we naturally had a lot to talk about.

In the end, Jiang Bixing realized that tonight's dinner wasn't just a meal with his classmates! It was clearly an attempt to set him up with Tang Jingshu. However, Jiang Bixing was still quite grateful to everyone. He was already at the age where he should be thinking about marriage, and he also had feelings for Tang Jingshu.

Tang Jingshu was naturally pleased to see that Jiang Bixing had become the general manager of a Hong Kong-funded company, and the two naturally got together.
