329 Happy to Get Off Work
She started work at 8 a.m. and got off work at 5 p.m. She took an hour off in the afternoon and worked for eight hours.
She was supposed to rest for two hours at noon and get off work at 6 p.m. but considering that Zhou Fangfang had to go home in the afternoon and the sky was still dark early, she changed her afternoon break to one hour and got off work at 5 p.m.
Currently, she had lunch with the Shi family. Five dollars per meal was deducted, and the monthly meal fee, excluding the weekends and holidays, was more than a hundred dollars.
Of course, she could also bring lunch over herself.
However, Zhou Fangfang chose to eat with the Shi family.
Money was not a big problem. The main thing was that she felt that the Shi family was very friendly and did not put on any airs. She also liked to eat with these people although she was a little restrained at the beginning.
What Gu Qingming had in mind was that when the company’s employees gradually increased, they would set up a canteen.
If they were willing to bring food, they would bring their own. If they were unwilling to bring food, they would eat in the canteen.
Now that Zhou Fangfang was the only employee, it was not appropriate to set up a canteen for her alone. It was a little troublesome to bring food herself.
At five o’clock in the afternoon, Zhou Fangfang stretched and said, “It’s finally done before work!”
Gu Qingming was at another desk. She smiled and said, “You can also bring your work home to complete it!”
Zhou Fangfang shook her head and said, “Since it’s work, it’s better to do it well during work! After work, I’ll have more time to accompany my parents.”
Gu Qingming nodded and said, “Yes, you’re really filial!”
She had heard a lot. With Zhou Fangfang’s family’s situation, most children would definitely despise her parents for being old and dragging her down. Most importantly, many children grew up under the pampering of their parents. They only knew how to take and not give.
When they grew up and their parents passed away, they needed to mourn to observe filial piety. The complete contrast made them frustrated and angry, causing them to reject their parents. They felt that their parents were a burden.
Gu Qingming had heard about Zhou Fangfang’s family from her sister-in-law.
Sometimes she had to sigh softly.
She only knew that the rich and powerful fought for their own interests, wealth, power, and infighting. However, she did not know that in these poor villages, they actually resorted to some unscrupulous things for the sake of some interests.
However, looking at Zhou Fangfang’s optimistic and positive appearance, Gu Qingming guessed that her parents must dote on her very much.
Zhou Fangfang smiled and said, “CEO Gu, I’m getting off work now! See you tomorrow!”
“Yes, see you tomorrow!” Gu Qingming nodded and said, “Be careful on the way!”
When Zhou Fangfang went downstairs, greeted the Shi family and left on their electric scooters.
Gu Qingming saw Zhou Fangfang leave through the window and stretched. She said, “I’ll get off work too!”
Before Zhou Fangfang reached the village, she saw her father standing at the entrance of the village, constantly sticking his head out. As soon as he saw his daughter appear, a smile immediately appeared on his dark and old face.
Zhou Fangfang stopped the car, took off her safety helmet, and asked, “Dad, why are you waiting at the village entrance?”
Mr. Zhou smiled and said, “Your mom was worried about you and asked me to wait here for you to come home!”
Zhou Fangfang said, “Dad, you don’t have to wait here anymore. I get off work early.”
Stoneback Village was not far from the village. It would take at most twenty minutes to reach on home on her electric scooter.
Of course, the main reason was that the road was flat now, and the cement road led to the entrance of the house.
At such a close distance and at such an early hour, there was no danger at all.
“Dad, hop on. Let’s go home!” Zhou Fangfang said. “Come on, be careful!”
Mr. Zhou sat on the electric scooter and helped her up. He asked happily, “Daughter, how’s work? Are you tired?”
Zhou Fangfang smiled and said, “It’s very good there. Everyone is very friendly. When I eat at Mr. Gu’s house, the food is also quite good! Dad, don’t worry. This job is really suitable for me. I feel very fulfilled and motivated now. Also, although Miss Gu is younger than me, she’s really imposing and capable. Anything is easy for her.”
“Daughter, is Miss Gu the boss of your company?” Mr. Zhou asked curiously. “I heard that she’s Shi Lichun’s niece, right?”
“Yes, she’s Uncle Shi’s niece,” Zhou Fangfang replied.
A moment later, the two of them arrived home.
When Mrs. Zhou heard the noise, she walked out of the kitchen and said, “Come, let’s wash our hands and eat! Mom made you two favorite dishes tonight.”
Zhou Fangfang smiled and said, “Mom, if you continue like this, I think I’ll become fat in less than a month!”
Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, “You’ve been working all day and are tired. Of course, you have to eat something good when you get home.”
Zhou Fangfang shook her head and said, “Mom, I’m not tired at all. Also, I ate very well at my boss’s house. Don’t worry, my food is bad!”
Mother Zhou nodded and said, “Yes, your boss is so good!”
At this point, Mrs. Zhou thought of something and said with an ugly expression, “Yes, some people are just jealous that my daughter found a job. They actually said that it’s a small company with a low salary. They said they don’t even know if you can get your salary. They’re obviously looking at me as a joke.”
Zhou Fangfang held her forehead and said, “Mom, you don’t have to pay attention to those people. They are just jealous Although Miss Gu’s office building hasn’t been built yet, let me tell you, it’s definitely a big company.
“She’s building a company in Stoneback Village and her entire family is in the village. How can she lie to her neighbors? It’s simply a joke to say that they won’t pay. They casually built a few greenhouses that cost millions. Do you think I’d need to worry about my salary? In short, I’m doing very well there. Dad, Mom, you don’t have to worry about me. You don’t have to care about those sour words!”
Mr. Zhou nodded and smiled. “Yes, Mom, we don’t have to care about those people. We just have to live our own lives.”
Mrs. Zhou nodded and said, “That’s right. We’ll live our own lives. It’s fine as long as our family is happy! Come, the food is getting cold. Hurry up and wash your hands to eat!”
After the father and daughter washed their hands, they went to the dining table and saw that there were two meat dishes and two vegetables on the dining table. They saw that they were all fresh dishes made tonight.
Zhou Fangfang said helplessly, “Dad, Mom, did you have leftovers for lunch again? How many times have I told you to eat better when I’m not at home? At night, you can make fewer dishes and don’t always eat leftovers. It’s not good for your health! My food at my boss’s house is really good. It’s not like the factory food I used to work for didn’t have any oil and water. Don’t worry!”
