Chapter 1350: Chapter 1235: Is the Salary High? [Three-in-One] (Part 2)

“Otherwise, he can only come to drink here every day after meals—aside from the herbs, the brewing fee is five yuan a day.”

She finished speaking and saw Chen Xi looking a bit dazed, so she paused: “If you’re not confident, there’s a well-known doctor at the urban area People’s Hospital. You can grab an appointment every Thursday morning through the WeChat public account…”

“No,” Chen Xi was a bit bewildered: “I just think the medicine is quite cheap…”

When he first arrived that day, Chen Yuan had already briefed him on all the notable characters in the village, especially Doctor Xiaoguo.

Despite appearing unimpressive with a clinic in the countryside, it’s said that even a single pill could sell for several hundred yuan, and they were in such demand that the small village fees meant nothing to her.

Being able to earn that much proved the person must have some skill, better than him just blundering around.

But he didn’t expect the prescribed medicine to be this cheap.

“Not cheap, right?” Doctor Xiaoguo was instead surprised: “Hasn’t this vitamin always been this price?”

“Zinc and calcium gluconate are actually quite costly, about one or two hundred yuan a month. You could just take pills, but isn’t he a child…”

“And as for the rest, plus the unopened traditional Chinese medicine, altogether it would cost around four hundred yuan a month. Over time, it’s a significant expense.”

How should Chen Xi explain?

In his mind, supplements used to be expensive, but now…

He let out a deep breath: “I have money, so just get everything he needs. If there’s no health check-up, I’ll take some leave to bring him for a consultation.”

Guo Dong glanced at him and suddenly laughed: “Well, that’s nice then.”

After speaking, she checked the time and exclaimed: “Oh dear! Here’s the medicine for you; I’m off to the mountains for a date… Just transfer me the money later—oh, and please close the gate when you leave.”

Saying this, she hurriedly walked towards the yard.

The colorful, particularly bright dress draped to her feet, snagging somewhat as she walked. She quickly lifted it to her arms, revealing black long sports pants and sneakers underneath.

Chen Xi inadvertently saw and was rendered speechless.

…

Meanwhile, Song Tan was worrying while watching the livestream: “Brother Yanping, why are you quitting? Is your salary too low?”

Zhang Yanping was taken aback but then perked up, straightening up with a proud smile: “If I say it’s low, how much will you raise it?”

Song Tan calculated: “Your original salary was 3000, plus 1500 for night shift and vegetable picking, 2000 for managing the online store, and another 800 from Qiaoqiao’s livestream and homework management…”

She made up her mind: “Alright then, if you insist on quitting, I’ll just hire someone new!”

Zhang Yanping took a sharp breath: “I was just being polite since we’re relatives, hoping you’d ask me to stay… How could you just directly hire someone else?”

“Even ancient officials begged the emperor thrice before leaving, and you’re not holding back at all?!”

Song Tan, feeling innocent: “But I think the salary isn’t that little… Look, it’s not labor-intensive work; it should be easy to find someone.”

This infuriated Zhang Yanping.

Yes, he wasn’t doing physical work, but he was doing plenty of mental labor!

“I’m the one managing the store, the livestream, collecting Qiaoqiao’s homework and giving out prizes… I’m also responsible for ordering uniforms and arranging health check-ups… Is six to seven thousand a month too much?!”

Song Tan held back a laugh: “But didn’t you just say, [The B&B will probably have lots of odd jobs, maybe I should quit]…”

Zhang Yanping huffed: “I was just being polite! Don’t you get that?!”

“Why would I quit to watch over the B&B? Now that I take rounds at the construction site, Old Xu has to explain again and again to the newcomers that we’re not some rural overlords…”

“Is there even room for me to shine at the B&B?”

He said this feeling really aggrieved—being a boss sitting in the store playing games sounds great, but why…

ε=(´ο｀*))) Sigh!

Zhang Yanping felt utterly disheartened.

Song Tan finally couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter: “Just kidding, just kidding. Didn’t you write me an IOU of hundreds of thousands? If you quit, how will you pay it back?”

“Come on, let’s tally up the health check-up numbers again—include the new staff from this year, there really aren’t that many employees, no need to be stingy.”

Zhang Yanping grudgingly took the form.

He handed over his phone: “Keep an eye on it, Qiaoqiao is livestreaming, don’t let him inflate things again—last time he exaggerated about selling honey, you know how many people transferred money directly to Taotao Treasure’s backend? Almost got the store shut down.”

“Also, the signing company discussed with me about setting up a store directly on the platform, linking to local stores through direct links…”
