Chapter 218: Chapter 218: First Day Back with Red Envelopes

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Mo Jingchun received so many gifts from relatives that he could start a supermarket.

The study room behind the first-floor living room was packed with various types of milk and liquor.

Some of the liquor was ordinary, while some were very expensive.

However, for Mo Jingchun, who doesn’t drink, there seemed to be no difference.

Looking at the pile in front of him, Mo Jingchun only felt a headache.

The company was officially opening tomorrow, and Mo Jingchun had to be at the company by this afternoon at the latest.

But what should be done with all these gifts in front of him?

The liquor was fine; the longer it’s kept, the better it gets, and it doesn’t spoil easily.

But the milk and cookies had expiration dates.

No matter how much Guoguo drank, she couldn’t finish it all.

Besides, most milk candy doesn’t drink.

Some of the milk, Mo Jingchun dared not give to Candy.

It’s called milk, but there’s not a trace of milk in it.

“This one, this one, this one, and this one, Guoguo wants to drink.”

“Hmm~ the rest doesn’t seem to taste good.”

After taking out the milk Guoguo wanted, Mo Jingchun took out all the remaining milk from the study and loaded it onto the car.

Mo Jingchun delivered a car full to Grandfather’s house and another to Xiang’Er’s house.

After sending out two cars, Mo Jingchun felt suddenly much lighter.

Even though Guoguo didn’t like the milk, letting it spoil would be a waste.

It was better to give it to someone else.

Especially when Mo Jingchun left Xiang’Er’s house, Xiang’Er’s bright little eyes.

Made Mo Jingchun feel he had given it to the right person.

The milk, at least, would last Xiang’Er six months.

If consumed sparingly, it might last more than half a year.

In the afternoon, Mo Jingchun drove back to the company with Candy.

The whole family of Big Uncle had already taken the bus in the morning.

Even Zhou Yaling, who hadn’t started school yet, ran down there.

She claimed she was going to take Candy out to play.

As for her real purpose, Mo Jingchun could guess without Zhou Yaling saying it herself.

This lazy person just didn’t want to stay home and cook every day.

In the company, everything was convenient; meals were readily available.

Even if you were hungry at midnight, as long as it wasn’t past twelve, you could go to the cafeteria for a late-night snack.

Life in the company was much more joyful than in college.

When Mo Jingchun reached the company, it was already 3:30 in the afternoon.

After parking the car in the underground garage, Mo Jingchun quickly made his way up to the top floor with Candy.

The door to the finance department’s office was not closed, and when Mo Jingchun and Candy entered, everyone looked up.

Seeing the boss, Su Wenyan said with a face full of grievance:

“Boss, you’re finally here. I never want to package red envelopes again in my life.”

“From noon until now, I feel my hands are no longer my own.”

Everyone nodded in agreement with Su Wenyan’s words.

It was more than ten thousand red envelopes, luckily we had enough people.

Otherwise, who knows how long it would take to finish.

“Happy New Year, brothers and sisters!”

Candy, being sensible, immediately stepped in to cover for her brother and offered New Year blessings.

Mo Jingchun swore he didn’t teach her that; he never thought of having Candy pay respects to Su Wenyan and Xu Pengfei.

“Oh~ Candy is still the cutest.”

“Here, big sister will give you a red envelope.”

Without hesitation, Su Wenyan handed Candy a red envelope she just finished packaging.

Candy skillfully tucked the red envelope into her pocket.

The action was so familiar it seemed like it had been rehearsed hundreds of times.

Mo Jingchun rolled his eyes at Su Wenyan; only Su Wenyan would do something like that—give Candy a red envelope with his money.

The money that ended up in Candy’s pocket was nearly impossible to get back.

If you forcefully take it, Candy would display an “I’ll cry if you don’t stop” act.

And Mo Jingchun always fell for it, unable to do anything about Candy.

“Alright, stop teasing Guoguo. How many red envelopes are left to pack?”

“Not many, I’d say if you had come half an hour later, we would have been done.”

Although Su Wenyan is usually a bit unreliable, her work is trustworthy.

Mo Jingchun nodded and said, “Thank you, everyone, for your hard work.”

After speaking, Mo Jingchun took out a bundle of red envelopes from Candy’s small crossbody bag.

“Here, here, everyone has one.”

“The red envelopes are not large, please don’t mind.”

The opening day red envelopes for the employees tomorrow morning were all uniformly 200.

Whereas the ones Mo Jingchun packed at home were all 1000.

Firstly, the people present were either from the financial department or higher-ups, core members of the company.

Secondly, today wasn’t a workday, yet everyone came to help.

A thousand yuan included today’s compensation.

With three red envelopes left in his hand, Mo Jingchun asked:

“Have you all got one? Is there anyone who hasn’t received a red envelope?”

“No one.”

“Alright then, everyone continues packing the red envelopes, I’ll help out.”

“Thank you, Boss.”

Getting a red envelope and feeling its thickness made everyone really happy.

Hearing about packing red envelopes, Candy became interested.

The little one quickly put the red envelopes back into Mo Jingchun’s small crossbody bag, claiming them as communal property, and joined the red envelope packing team.

“One sheet… two sheets…”

After counting two sheets, Candy carefully inserted the money into the red envelope.

—————————————

Twenty minutes before the start of the workday, Mo Jingchun stood with a group of higher-ups in the lobby on the first floor, waiting for the employees coming to work on the first day of the new year.

As someone came in, Mo Jingchun would greet them with a smile and hand over a red envelope.

Sometimes, Candy would jump forward energetically and hand over the red envelope.

And wish them a Happy New Year.

“Happy New Year!”

“Thank you~”

Receiving the opening day red envelope was already joyful, and with the cute kid’s blessing, it doubled.

It wasn’t until after ten in the morning that there were no more employees lined up to get a red envelope.

However, some red envelopes were still left.

Mo Jingchun looked at Xu Pengfei, who in turn looked at the HR manager.

“Boss, some employees, for various reasons, took a few days off and will arrive a bit later.”

Ah, so that’s the case, Mo Jingchun nodded.

“And those employees, what about their opening day red envelopes?”

The HR manager hesitated for a moment and said, “Normally, if they don’t show up on the opening day, there wouldn’t be an opening day red envelope.”

Mo Jingchun thought for a moment and said, “Let’s keep their opening day red envelopes with you for now.”

“Once they come to work, you in the HR department can notify them to collect their opening day red envelope from you.”

“That’s how we’ll handle it.”

“If there’s nothing else, everyone can go back to their tasks.”

The crowd dispersed, with Mo Jingchun keeping Xu Pengfei behind.

In the industrial park, Xu Pengfei followed behind Mo Jingchun and Candy.

“Old Xu, over the next couple of days, you should communicate with the county’s power supply bureau and leadership team. Starting next month, the company’s servers will be running at full load, and electricity consumption will significantly increase.”
