Chapter 744: 713 Chapter Double Salary_1

There was another, even more important reason why He Tiantian had deep overseas connections: her grandmother and parents were now abroad. It might not be suitable for her to go there.

After all, that place is involved in some of the most secret projects, and she didn’t want to get involved.

Nowadays, aside from treason, there was nothing that could really affect the Huo Family.

He Tiantian used this reason to persuade her in-laws and Huo Yingjie as well.

"Ah, you do have a point," Wang Ying said. "Actually, it’s pretty good outside. Sometimes I even think about buying a house outside so that we can go back to Nan City in the future."

After thinking for a while, He Tiantian said, "If you have extra money, you can buy one! After all, this year’s houses are a bit more expensive than last year’s, and maybe the price will rise in the future. If you don’t live in it, you could give it to your children someday; no one can guarantee that your children will work at the research institute in the future. So buying a house outside is a good choice."

Wang Ying’s eyes lit up, and she nodded, "That’s exactly what I was thinking. Zhou Yuanchao’s ancestral home is in Nan City, so we want to buy a house there, bring my in-laws over in the future, and then our family can get together more often, especially since Nan City is a bit closer to where we work."

"That would be wonderful! If you don’t have enough money, just let me know. Don’t be shy," He Tiantian said, willing to make friends with the people around Huo Yingjie.

Moreover, Zhou Yuanchao and Wang Ying were nice people, and He Tiantian was willing to befriend them.

"Um, both my husband and I are thick-skinned; we won’t be formal with you," Wang Ying laughed. With Zhou Yuanchao’s bonuses and salary supplements in hand, and the in-laws never asking for any, plus her several thousand from her job, they had enough to buy a house.

"Well, you can ask your relatives or someone from my shop to help you with the house hunting. If there’s someone willing to sell, you could find something suitable," He Tiantian smiled. Buying a house was indeed a big deal and required a lot of comparison.

While the two women were chatting about children, houses, and clothes, the men were discussing the country and significant societal issues.

At noon, they all had a few drinks.

Zhou Yuanchao and Wang Ying were off to Inner Mongolia the next day, so after lunch and a little rest, they took their leave.

In the blink of an eye, it was the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month. He Tiantian went to the shop for a final inventory check. From the twenty-eighth of the twelfth month, the staff would be on holiday until the eighth day of the New Year.

Each person was given a bonus of three hundred yuan plus their salary for the month. The salary this month was particularly high, double the usual amount, with the least amount being three hundred and fifty yuan. Sun Sihao and Qian Shikun each received over a thousand yuan.

They also received various gift packages, including items from the shop and others that He Tiantian had sourced from outside.

Once the final cleaning was done, everyone could go home for the New Year celebrations.

This time, two male staff members were arranged to watch over the shop and the temporary breeding farms in the suburbs.

After arranging things at home, Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang coordinated their schedules and took time off; it was also time for them to pack up and head to Yanjing.

As long as Old Madam Huo and Old Master Huo were year, the Huo Family, big and small, had to return to Yanjing.

By the time they reached Yanjing, it was the evening of the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth month.

The one responsible for picking them up was still Huo Yingjun.

When they arrived at the Huo Family Old Mansion, it was rare to see Zhao Huanhuan not at work but at home instead.

However, when everyone saw Zhao Huanhuan’s belly, it was clear to them; she was pregnant.
