Chapter 398: Chapter 397: Profited
After a few of them finished eating, they chatted and laughed their way back to school.
When formal classes started the next day, everyone gradually immersed themselves in their studies. The others didn’t feel much, but Feng Yudan felt like she was struggling. She had missed quite a few lessons. Although she crammed for exams at the end of last semester, many knowledge points were still challenging.
Seeing Feng Yudan looking so distressed, Tao Cuizhu couldn’t help but say, "When we have free time, a few of us will take turns tutoring you."
"Really, that’s great, thank you all."
Feng Yudan hurriedly thanked them.
Cao Panpan chimed in, "No need to thank us. We’re all classmates and live in the same dorm, so you don’t have to be so formal."
"Yeah, let’s support and encourage each other, and make progress together," added Wei Xiweng.
Seeing everyone talking like this, Feng Yudan appreciatively said, "I’m really glad I returned to school. It’s great to have you all."
Yiyi saw everyone so happy and said with a smile, "Since the dorm leader is treating us this weekend, I’ll treat everyone next weekend. Let’s have a meal at Shangjing Restaurant then."
"Wow... Yiyi, that’s so generous of you. The small restaurant at our school gate is fine; we don’t need to go to Shangjing Restaurant."
"I’m just building a good employee relationship with you all in advance. In the future, you’ll have to work more for the pharmaceutical factory, so treating you to a big meal is just right. And if you think about it carefully, it’s still me making a profit, having you college students work for me," Yiyi said with a sly smile.
"Don’t worry, Yiyi, even if you didn’t say anything, we’d still work hard for the pharmaceutical factory," Tao Cuizhu quickly added. "Actually, we really don’t need to go to Shangjing Restaurant. Even the restaurant we ate at today is nice enough."
Working at the pharmaceutical factory these past two months, she understood how hard the work was. Even as the boss, Yiyi almost went to the factory every day and personally participated in the pharmaceutical production. Once they started making medicine, it was day and night work, so making money wasn’t easy. She didn’t want Yiyi to spend too much.
But Yiyi smiled and said, "This is to celebrate your future employment in advance, so everyone should be happy. But I’m saying this now, you have to work at my pharmaceutical factory. You can’t go back on your word."
"Don’t worry, Yiyi, we’ll definitely work at your pharmaceutical factory."
Cao Panpan promptly expressed her intentions.
Wei Xiweng also chimed in, "We’ll definitely go."
"Great, then it’s settled."
When the weekend came, Yiyi took the dorm mates directly to the pharmaceutical factory.
Except for Tao Cuizhu, it was everyone else’s first time there. Seeing the sizable pharmaceutical factory, they were taken aback. Originally, they thought even if Yiyi opened a pharmaceutical factory, it would just be a small one. But looking at it now, it wasn’t small at all.
"Yiyi, you’re amazing. You just went and opened such a big pharmaceutical factory."
Cao Panpan couldn’t help but exclaim.
Even Wei Xiweng was amazed, "Yeah, really impressive." Initially, she hadn’t taken Yiyi’s pharmaceutical factory seriously. She only agreed to work there to follow the crowd, and felt a slight resistance to Yiyi’s insistence on them working there. But seeing the factory’s scale today, she changed her previous opinion.
"Come on, let’s go inside and take a look."
Yiyi smiled and led the way.
Mo Ping had already come out by then. Seeing Yiyi and the others arriving, he quickly went up and said, "Little boss, let me show you around."
"Sure, make sure to give my classmates a good introduction to the factory."
"No problem."
Tao Cuizhu saw Mo Ping and quickly called out, "Factory manager."
"It’s Cui Zhu. You’re just in time; there’s something I need you to do later."
Hearing this, Tao Cuizhu quickly stood straight and nodded, "Okay."
Seeing this, the others couldn’t help but glance at Tao Cuizhu, feeling like she was somehow different today, with more energy than them.
Mo Ping, on the other hand, didn’t feel much and led Yiyi and the others around the pharmaceutical factory.
After they toured the entire factory, they were even more impressed.
"Yiyi, your pharmaceutical factory is really, really good."
Now, Cao Panpan could only think of such a term. She really didn’t expect Yiyi’s factory to even have a pharmaceutical purification workshop.
Wei Xiweng was also full of praise and finally, with her eyes shining, looked at Yiyi and said, "Are we starting work this weekend?"
"If you have time, of course, you can come."
Hearing this, Cao Panpan and Wei Xiweng quickly said, "We have time, definitely."
They studied to gain practical experience, and now that such an opportunity was right in front of them, they naturally had to seize it.
Seeing their agreement, Yiyi smiled and nodded, "Great, then let Mo Ping arrange everything for you."
"Great, we can start working this afternoon."
Seeing their eagerness, Tao Cuizhu couldn’t help but laugh, "That’s great. We’ll be colleagues in the future. Now, let’s go eat."
Since everyone was on the same page, they went directly to the restaurant they had been to earlier.
Tao Cuizhu ordered quite a few dishes, and only stopped when the others protested.
"Dorm leader, you’re too kind. We don’t eat much, so don’t spend all your summer earnings."
Cao Panpan knew Tao Cuizhu was usually very thrifty, so she was quite worried that she might spend her living expenses.
Hearing Cao Panpan’s words, Tao Cuizhu laughed and said, "Don’t worry, the pharmaceutical factory’s income is pretty good. You’ll see when you start, so eat freely today." Her salary was already decent, and after joining the pharmaceutical group, her income would be even higher. However, it was hard work, all earned through her labor, so she was happy to spend it.
The others, hearing what Tao Cuizhu said, curiously asked, "How much exactly?"
Initially, they didn’t care about the salary, but hearing that it was considerable made them quite tempted. At the very least, it meant more pocket money.
"You’ll find out when the time comes."
Tao Cuizhu replied with a sly smile, not giving a straight answer. After all, salaries vary by position. By that time, the dishes had been served, so she urged everyone to start eating.
Seeing that Tao Cuizhu wasn’t revealing anything, Yiyi didn’t press further.
Cao Panpan and the others didn’t ask more questions, instead quickly picking up their chopsticks to eat.
After finishing their meal, they returned to school to pack, and then followed Yiyi back to the pharmaceutical factory. Mo Ping had everything well-organized, with temporary dorms prepared and jobs assigned for everyone.
"Little boss, rest assured, every weekend when your classmates come, I’ll take good care of them."
