Chapter 274: Chapter 274: Distributing New Year’s Benefits

Nan Xi didn’t have any specific requirements for clothing, just one — it shouldn’t hinder her fighting.

In one morning, Lin Xiaoyan bought an outfit for each family member, and she also bought for Nan Xi and herself.

When Nan Xi was about to pay the bill, Lin Xiaoyan stopped her and paid directly.

“We agreed that I would pay. I haven’t even issued your salary, so let me cover these expenses.”

Lin Xiaoyan said generously, “Sister Nan, if you want to buy anything else, feel free to. You buy, I’ll pay!”

Nan Xi shook her head with a smile, “I’ve already bought enough, this is plenty.”

Lin Xiaoyan looked, “No way, you only have those two outfits usually. Buy two more sets, and shoes too. Oh, and underwear, and daily necessities…”

The two went down once, put the newly bought items in the car, and then went back to buy other things.

The two shopped for almost an entire day, and the back of the car was piled up with items.

Nan Xi looked at Lin Xiaoyan, who was still in high spirits, and smiled, “Didn’t shopping all day tire you out?”

Lin Xiaoyan was looking at her phone list, “Nope, I feel like there are still some things I haven’t bought yet…

Oh right, I haven’t bought anything for my unborn nieces or nephews.”

She looked at the time and knew she had to go back to the store, “Forget it, I’ll buy them tomorrow, let’s head back to the store first.”

Nan Xi listened to Lin Xiaoyan and shook her head helplessly.

The two drove straight to the police station first, intending to switch cars with He Qi’an.

“Xiao Lin, you’re here!”

The police officer on duty at the door saw Lin Xiaoyan and greeted her warmly.

Lin Xiaoyan got out of the car with a smile, greeting him back.

“Is Captain He at the station?”

“Yes, Captain He didn’t go out this afternoon.”

“Alright, thank you.”

Lin Xiaoyan saw Nan Xi park the car well, took the car keys from her, and headed into the police station.

“Oh, Xiao Lin, you’re here!”

The police officers in the lobby saw Lin Xiaoyan coming in and greeted her one after another.

Lin Xiaoyan’s smile never left her face, greeting everyone she met.

Finally, she walked into He Qi’an’s office.

“Sis-in-law is here!”

Zhang Ming’s shout of “sis-in-law” left Lin Xiaoyan stunned, and she turned to look behind her, but there was no one else.

Lin Xiaoyan took two seconds to realize that Zhang Ming was calling her!

Once she realized, Lin Xiaoyan’s face instantly turned red.

“Officer Zhang, you should just call me Xiao Lin.” Lin Xiaoyan said awkwardly.

The others in the office, seeing Lin Xiaoyan’s embarrassed look, teased her one after another.

“Xiao Lin, Zhang Ming’s not wrong, you should be called sis-in-law.”

“Hahaha, who would’ve thought Xiao Lin is dating Captain He.”

“Xiao Lin, aren’t you scared of Captain He’s serious face all the time?”

Mao Hong, overhearing that Xiao Lin had arrived, came over with a teacup, gossiping.

Lin Xiaoyan was incredibly shy inside; she glanced around the office, unsure of where He Qi’an had gone.

“I… I’m just here to switch car keys with He Qi’an, isn’t he here?”

Lin Xiaoyan awkwardly changed the topic.

“I know where the keys are. Captain He went to the director’s office, but he mentioned if you came, to tell you.”

Zhang Ming walked over to the captain’s desk, pulling the car keys from the drawer.

“Sis—er, Xiao Lin, is it this one?”

“Yes, that’s it.”

Lin Xiaoyan immediately took it and returned the car keys in her hand.

With the keys in hand, she quickly turned and left.

“Bye, I’m heading out now.”

“Hey, Xiao Lin, hard to see you, why the rush to leave?”

Mao Hong called out, “Aren’t you waiting for Captain He? He’ll be back soon.”

Lin Xiaoyan: “No need, I’m going to the store to hand out New Year’s benefits to the employees.”

Everyone listened, “You’re handing them out this early? Not waiting till the last day?”

Lin Xiaoyan smiled, “Early or late, it’s the same.”

Finally getting out of the office, Lin Xiaoyan let out a breath, quickly handing the car keys to Nan Xi to avoid being followed, “Let’s go quickly!”

The two crossed the street and parked the car in front of the store.

There were still customers in the store, Lin Xiaoyan checked the time, “Bro, once this batch of customers leaves, hang up the sign and close the delivery.”

Lin Hao nodded, “Got it.”

The employees in the back overheard the conversation between the boss and manager, being incredibly excited inside.

The last batch of customers got their milk tea in no time at all!

After seeing off the last customer, Lin Hao hung the “Closed for Business” sign outside the door.

“Bro, the stuff is in the car, call two people to bring it in.”

“Calling.”

“Two people, come out to move stuff, everyone else, clean up, we’re having a small meeting later.” Lin Hao announced.

“Alright!”

Li Wen and another young man went out with the manager to move stuff.

When Nan Xi opened the trunk, Lin Hao and the other two were stunned by the car full of gifts.

“You bought so much!”

“Yes, Xiao Yan said everyone worked hard, so she bought a lot to reward everyone.” Nan Xi replied.

These words made the three feel happy inside.

The three of them started moving things, trip after trip, into the store.

The other employees in the store watched the items being brought in, full of joy.

Twenty minutes later, the store was thoroughly cleaned, and everyone stood inside, waiting for the boss’s meeting.

Lin Hao walked over, calling out to Lin Xiaoyan, who was looking down at the evaluation book.

“Yanyan, are we having a meeting?”

Lin Xiaoyan looked up, seeing the store ready, stood up, “Let’s have a small meeting then.”

Everyone stood in order, holding back excitement, listening to the boss’s speech.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at everyone in the store, “Is everyone here?”

“We’re all here.”

“Good.”

Lin Xiaoyan looked at everyone with a smile, “Today is the twenty-sixth of the last month of the lunar year, wishing everyone an early Happy New Year.”

“Happy New Year, boss!” everyone shouted loudly.

Lin Xiaoyan’s eyebrows jumped, almost startling her, but she feigned calmness, continuing, “First thing, during the New Year’s…”

After the meeting, everyone happily received their benefits.

“Boss, you’re giving us so much New Year’s goods, oh my gosh, what a godsend boss!”

“Yeah, yeah, I’ve never seen so much New Year’s goods before. In my previous jobs, all we got was a greeting card during New Year…”

“Hahaha, at least you got a card, some places just give you air!”

“Hahaha, thank you, boss!”

“Thank you, boss!”

“Happy New Year, boss!”

The employees cheered happily, and seeing everyone so glad, Lin Xiaoyan felt happy too.

That evening, for the first time, the milk tea shop employees left work together with the police station staff, each walking out with a proud, spirited stance, carrying a pile of gifts.

The police station staff getting off work looked at those across the street holding things in their arms and hands, knowing that it was the New Year’s goods Xiao Lin gave her employees.

One by one, they looked back toward the director’s office with envy, sigh~
