Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Lin Jiadong Comes Knocking

Hou Xiaobao pointed to Jia Liang, "Brother Liang even invited me to celebrate the holidays with them, but I thought the Bun Shop couldn’t be left unattended during the break, so I decided to spend the holidays at the Bun Shop and have a reunion dinner at Brother Liang’s place. Aunt Jia has been really good to us now; she’d be unhappy if I didn’t go."

Lin Chuxia nodded, glad to hear he had plans.

Hou Xiaobao scratched his head, "Boss, I was the only one who came back empty-handed from running sales this time, are you disappointed in me? I’ve been thinking about it a lot since I got back. Maybe it’s because of my image, I’m thinking of trying again after the New Year. I’ll visit more clients and won’t let you down, Boss."

So that was the issue.

Indeed, among those who went out, only Hou Xiaobao returned with nothing.

During those days, as everyone seemed downcast and the courtyard became busier, he had no time to dwell on these thoughts, but it seemed he was still concerned about it.

Lin Chuxia neither affirmed nor denied this, but instead asked, "Are you unsatisfied with your current salary?"

Hou Xiaobao immediately shook his head like a rattle drum, his voice growing louder, "Of course, I’m satisfied."

This month, he made a total of 118 yuan, which was the most after Su Wensong and Jia Liang.

That was the equivalent to what an ordinary worker would earn in over three months. What else was there to be dissatisfied with?

He had never even dreamed that he could earn so much clean money.

After speaking, realizing the intent behind Lin Chuxia’s question, he said embarrassingly, "I just feel that I didn’t do a good job with the task assigned by you, Boss, and that I failed your trust."

He was sent to run sales but ended up making no deals after going round in circles.

Lin Chuxia gave a slight smile, "How could you have not done a good job? Everyone has seen your effort during this time, and you’ve been outstanding. You’re just not good at some things, that’s all. In our company, it’s impossible for everyone to be proficient at everything. Even I have weaknesses. Hou Xiaobao, you don’t need to belittle yourself unnecessarily, nor do you need to dwell on your weaknesses. After the New Year, you just focus on what you’re good at and do well at your own position, that’s what makes an excellent employee."

"Boss... Do I really not need to go out on sales anymore?"

Hou Xiaobao’s eyes lit up; truth be told, he was somewhat daunted by that task, but since everyone else was doing it, he felt like he would be letting the boss down if he didn’t.

"No need, there will be adjustments after the New Year. We’ll have just two dedicated people for sales."

Hou Xiaobao heaved a long sigh of relief, "I will definitely do what you’ve entrusted me with, Boss."

At this moment, Qin Lihua came over, "Fourth Aunt, someone is looking for you outside."

Lin Chuxia patted Hou Xiaobao on the shoulder, signaling him to get back to work, and then she stepped outside.

The Bun Shop had already put up a closed sign for the afternoon, so whoever was looking for her now must be someone she knew.

As she stepped out, she saw Lin Jiadong standing at the bottom of the steps.

Lin Jiadong, upon seeing Lin Chuxia, sized her up from head to toe twice, his tone carrying a hint of disbelief.

"Second Sister, have you really become a big boss? You look so good in those clothes. No wonder Big Sister got angry. You were prettier than her to begin with, and now you’re a big boss and dressed so well, she must be furious seeing you."

Lin Chuxia felt differently about Lin Jiadong compared to the rest of the Lin Family. This brother was simple-minded and had been used by the Lin Family as a pawn in the past as well.

His ability to find his way here today could very well mean he had been given a mission.

"How did you come here?"

She beckoned him inside the Bun Shop; it was quite cold outside.
