It is said that the maximum wind speed reached level 14 when it made landfall, causing heavy rain in the entire southern coastal area of ​​the country, and all work and classes in Zijing were suspended.

Not to mention supermarkets, even transportation by sea, land and air was interrupted. The backflow of seawater caused three people to go missing. Fortunately, they were rescued in the end.

If a typhoon of this magnitude strikes again, Tianhai City will probably be in real trouble.

You should know that some local wind speeds in the central coastal areas even exceeded level 16, hundreds of thousands of people were evacuated urgently, and tens of thousands of fishing boats returned to port to take shelter from the wind.

Even the Yangtze River flood and typhoon warnings have been repeatedly raised, which shows how severe this typhoon is. Everyone is afraid that the disaster in Tianhai City will happen again.

Fortunately, everything was successfully managed in the end. The kind of rainstorm that brought hundreds of West Lake rainstorms to Tianhai City in ten hours never happened again.

After the danger was over, everything returned to normal and everyone could finally start a new life.

Ailia is going to the supermarket to watch the opening ceremony today, but before that, she has to check in at the group first.

Today, the Ai Group, for the first time ever, requires employees to go to work early and as early as possible - in order to count the number of employees and check whether everyone is safe.

The attendance system was busy early in the morning. When Alia arrived at the group headquarters at 7:30, the headquarters campus, which was still slightly water-stained, was crowded with people.

"Long time no see, long time no see..."

"Hello, hello—"

"I'm so glad everyone is okay!"

"Customer service department! Customer service department, clock in here! Come over here quickly!"

Everyone was greeting each other, giving the illusion that they were back to work after the Chinese New Year.

Of course, I’m not so happy to go back to work after the Chinese New Year. I just wish I could take more time off…

Alia was also very happy: "It's the first day back to work, how about this, we can get off work early in the afternoon... or just take the afternoon off?"

Prime Minister Lei, who had his hands in his pockets, suddenly felt his eyes jump and he took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress his emotions.

"Miss, the group has been shut down for almost a week, and there are a lot of things accumulated in the five working days."

"Don't you have a lot of accumulated matters at home? We are back to work, but the children don't have to go back to school? Don't we need to rearrange the supplies at home? Don't we need to clean up the elderly's medicine, the rice, flour, grain and oil at home, and the balcony that was flooded?"

“…There’s no balcony?”

"What's not there?"

"I'm talking about commercial housing and public areas - it's okay, just take the holiday, I'll talk to the HR department."

Prime Minister Lei doesn't want Alia to interfere in the affairs of the real estate subsidiary of the property department for the time being. Those businesses are too big and too messy, and the young lady does not have enough experience.

"Each person will receive 200 yuan in subsidies and condolence money. Is there enough cash in the slush fund?"

In this disaster-stricken environment, the employees of the Ai Group generally have some money in their pockets, all thanks to the slush fund.

“There are still several million.”

"Well, that's good... Speaking of commercial housing, how many years will it take for our company's employees to buy a house?"

"..." Prime Minister Lei rubbed his forehead. He should not have made such a slip of the tongue.

"Haven't you calculated it?"

"Based on an average salary of 8,000, the effective savings of employees is at most 5,000 a month, or 60,000 a year..."

Prime Minister Lei shrugged his shoulders and said that it was actually meaningless to calculate this.

The housing prices in Tianhai City are very high. The three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment where Ailia lives is only over 100 square meters and can be sold for nearly five million yuan on the market.

As for his own large CBD flat that Ai Rulong rewarded him with, it is ten minutes away from the subway entrance within the Second Ring Road and is worth over 10 million.

The working class may not be able to afford this kind of thing even if they empty their eight wallets, so how do you calculate it?

Alia crossed her arms and said nothing for a long time. Finally, she shook her head and said, "Forget it. Let's talk about it later."

"Miss, this is not something we can change..."

"ten years."

"……what?"

"I want the group's employees to be able to buy a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment with their savings after working for ten years. What do you think?"

"If it is in a non-first-tier city, then it is indeed possible."

"It's in Tianhai."

"Then we can either build cheap welfare housing ourselves, or raise wages."

"We'll do it together when the time comes, but there's no rush. Even if we want to build a house, we don't have any land."

How valuable is the land in Tianhai City?

To put it bluntly, the most expensive thing where Alia is standing now is not the three super-A-grade office buildings with more than 17 floors, but the large headquarters park under her feet. This area is about 110 hectares. The original plan was to build nine buildings with a total designed construction area of ​​more than million square meters, but it was later interrupted.

Prime Minister Lei changed the subject and asked, "Miss, are you going to Aililai?"

"Well, we went to have an opening ceremony. We were supposed to open it earlier, but it started raining heavily."

Alia spread her hands and said, "We started operating it later, but it always felt like it lacked a sense of ceremony, so today is the official opening."

For this reason, the Aililai supermarket closed yesterday afternoon. The resumption of traffic in the past few days has greatly relieved the pressure on the supermarket. In addition, the typhoon landed and it started to rain, which scared everyone and made them hide at home. Aililai is not as popular anymore.

It's a rare sunny day today, and Alia thinks they should be able to have a simple ceremony. The weather is also good.

After chatting with Prime Minister Lei for a few words, Ailia found a shared bicycle and rode away. An Lele appeared from somewhere and followed behind.

Jiang Wei came over and said, "Brother Fan, our department is all here, and everyone has nothing to do!"

"Young lady, you are so well prepared. If anything goes wrong, they will have to blame themselves for falling into the water. How many times have you warned them in advance?"

Prime Minister Lei shook his head and walked towards the building of his department, but stopped after a few steps.

"Contact Mr. Zhao from the property department, the real estate guy - and also look for land near Tianhai City that can be used to build commercial housing."

"What are you looking at that for?" Jiang Wei was confused: "Real estate?"

"Just go and see if you're told to. Why are you asking so many questions? Is it the young lady who makes the decision or you?"

"Oh……"

"Also, have the secretariat send out invitations. The Elly supermarket is opening, and the eldest lady is coming. Find some guests to liven up the occasion and make it a little more lively."

Prime Minister Lei didn't have time to accompany Ailia to the supermarket to play house, so he could only make up for it elsewhere.

As they were talking, the assistant representative of the secretariat, Miss Shangguan, Alia's default secretary, came running out in her high heels.

"Where are they? Where is the young lady? I saw her upstairs!"

"Just went out - something?"

"She has to approve these documents that have been held up for several working days... Ah, Mr. Lei, come here."

Lei Fan rubbed his forehead and said, "I'm the head of the financial insurance department, not the executive vice president."

"Oh, you're talking about this. This is the appointment letter signed by the young lady. I just wanted to show it to you."

Miss Shangguan took out a document, which roughly meant that Prime Minister Lei, "Don't be so modest. You should take more responsibility for the management of the group's affairs."

Of course Prime Minister Lei was unwilling: "Why?"

"Young lady is about to start school."

"……what?"

"The eldest lady is still a student. The third year of college is about to start. Mr. Lei, you won't forget it, right?"

"..."

"Come on, sign it, I'll file it, and your overtime pay will be cancelled."

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Lei quickly picked up the pen and signed his name. After all, herding one sheep is no different from herding a flock of sheep. Saving the group some overtime pay is better than anything else.

I have never seen myself going from Building B to Building A, a straight-line distance of 500 meters, and still have to calculate a travel allowance - if others see it, they will probably say that I am making up excuses for corruption!

"But the salary needs to be recalculated. Now... it's probably like this."

Miss Shangguan showed the pay slip to Prime Minister Lei for review. His daily salary had been over ten thousand before, but now it had doubled.

"What does this mean?"

"The eldest lady ordered it. Any problem?"

Jiang Wei, who was standing next to him, heard that there was a problem and quickly leaned over to ask, "Problem? What problem? Financial?"

As a result, after looking at the pay slip and doing the math, I found that even if Brother Fan earned 20,000 yuan a day, with various bonuses a year, it would only be over 10 million yuan.

"so little?"

"This is the base salary without any responsibilities. In addition, there are performance and other bonuses. The most important thing is that the eldest lady is going to set up an equity incentive fund. The secretariat is compiling the data and will hand it over to your department in a while."

"I see. That's more like it."

Prime Minister Lei then remembered what Alia had said before, about buying a house in Tianhai in ten years.

Equity incentive funds?

……

……

"The equity held by Aili here needs to be recalculated and distributed to the employees. Everyone has performed very well and worked very hard this time, and we still have to give them...what sound?"

In the closed Aililai supermarket, Alia, who had just arrived, was talking to Mr. Sun when she heard some strange noises outside.

Mr. Sun stood up and took a look in front of the blinds, then stood up straight in a daze, blinked his eyes, suspecting that he had seen it wrong, and looked down again.

"what happened?"

"…Look for yourself, young lady."

Alia frowned and leaned over: "I finally managed to hold an opening ceremony today, but someone doesn't even give me this little face, I - huh?"

What's outside?

are people.

Of course, commercial streets should be full of people, but today there seemed to be too many people...

The commercial street, which is usually bustling with people, was so crowded today that people were shoulder to shoulder, giving people the illusion that they could only see the backs of people's heads when visiting the Great Wall during the short holiday.

Alia opened the blinds and looked around the long street. "What happened - who knows what happened? How can we keep so many people safe?!"

As he was speaking, someone shouted from below: "Aililai! Don't close down! Keep it open!"

Then suddenly, it was like a meteorite was thrown into the pond, and a noisy sound exploded like a wave, all shouting.

The words "Don't go bankrupt" were shouted the loudest, but God knows who said that Aililai was going to go bankrupt.

"We just closed early yesterday afternoon, and that means we are going to go bankrupt - who said that?"

"I'm not coming!" Mr. Sun was also confused: "I was wondering why there were so many people here this morning..."

"It's over. What a misunderstanding. The opening ceremony is at ten o'clock. Normally, supermarkets should be ready to open at eight o'clock."

Ailia looked at the people blocking the door and realized that it didn't matter where the rumor came from. What mattered was that the Aililai Supermarket was really about to close.

"Go! Where's the store manager? Call everyone to prepare for opening. We can't hold the ceremony. Divert the crowd first! Safety must be guaranteed first! Also, call the police immediately!"

"Ah...ah?!"

"Call the police! How can we maintain order with so many people? Ask them to send someone over!"

"Oh oh oh! Okay!"

……

……

Many years later, the citizens of Tianhai City will recall that little and interesting misunderstanding.

Aililai Supermarket wanted to take a break from its busy schedule and hold an opening ceremony for its renovation and upgrading, but was mistakenly believed to be closing down.

The citizens of Tianhai City who still had IOUs in their hands and had not yet returned were extremely excited, and more than 30,000 people directly blocked the entire commercial district.

The Aili supermarket even had to call the police for help, and the authorities sent more than a hundred people to maintain order, but to no avail.

The Aili supermarket opened at around 10 a.m., but had to close again at 11 a.m. due to the overwhelming flow of customers, and had to persuade the crowds to leave.

It is said that afterwards, Aili came to count the collected IOUs and found that the money exceeded the limit, but there were several thousand missing IOUs - they were taken away by others.

The femur that was broken and then healed again became one of the memory anchors of that rainstorm and was talked about by countless citizens.
