“The whole village is now aware of how capable your boss is. Therefore, you have a bright future ahead given how much he values you.”
“By the way, many of our neighbors are clamoring to offer their daughter’s hand in marriage to you. Even the village chief’s daughter who wasn’t into you before suddenly came by with some expensive tea. She greeted us with such familiarity as if we were her own family.”
“Hubby, why don’t you say something to your son.”
His dad replied, “I have no time for him. Can’t you see that I’m drinking with the village chief?”
“I am the one who raised him to be such a success. Come chief, one more.”
Crew-cut’s face shone with delight and pride. “I didn’t do much actually.”
“Mom, let me tell you how influential our boss is. Other than the eviction team, even the county magistrate has to show respect to him.”
“It’s understandable that your son’s boss values him highly given how hardworking he was in university.”
Crew-cut’s mom replied, “Remember not to rest on your laurels. You should strive hard so that you don’t betray the trust that your boss has placed in you.”
“The glory of our family now relies on your boss.”
“Anyway, enough chatting. Some relatives have just dropped by.”
“Sigh, it’s really a case of people coming to bask in our glory.”
After ending the call, Crew-cut turned to leave.
Johnathan hurriedly called out to him, “James, where are you going?”
Crew-cut replied, “Back to work, of course.”
“Boys from the production line, let’s go.”
Before the crowd started dispersing, The sounds of phone ringing filled the hall as more and more employees received calls.
They were all calls from their respective families.
All of them received a letter of commendation and a cash reward.
Although the commendation letter wasn’t worth much, it was a recognition of their efforts by the company. It provided them with the basis to show off amongst their friends and family, thereby satisfying their ego.
Pride was something that even money couldn’t buy.
After ending their calls, the workers were rejuvenated and filled with motivation.
“Let’s go back to work now!”
“Boss, don’t worry about our wages. Take your time to resolve it.”
“Mdm. Laura, remember you promised to make us dumplings for lunch. Don’t forget about it, Haha!”
“We have a handsome boss and a beautiful lady boss, both of them seem to be a match made in heaven.”
The workers laughed heartily as they returned to the production lines to restart their work.
Susan blushed bashfully when the workers assumed she was the boss’ wife.
Sneaking a glance at Zeke, she thought to herself, wouldn’t it be wonderful if I really were his wife?
Zeke said, “Susan, I used twenty-three thousands of my own money to pay for their bonus. Don’t forget to reimburse me from the company’s funds.”
Susan was shocked at how Zeke only used twenty-three thousand to resolve a crisis that could potentially cripple the company.
Mr. Williams really is amazing.
Besides, your net worth is in the billions, why would you even care about the twenty-three thousand...
Little did she know that Zeke relied solely on the monthly income of less than eight thousand from his wife.
Susan acknowledged, “Sure, boss.”
“By the way, given that we’ve sent out so many letters of commendations in such a short time, there must be a lot of manpower involved.”
“But I didn’t see you involve any of the management from Reagan Pharmaceutical.”
Zeke smiled, “I got my friends to help me with it.”
The only thing that Zeke wasn’t lacking now was manpower.
Other than those from the army, T-Rex and Darren also had a lot of men under their disposal.
Of course, neither T-Rex nor Darren had the time to organize the distribution of the letters as they were busy cleaning up the underworld forces in Riverdale District.
The one responsible for the operation this time was Hadley.
