CHAPTER 631: CHAPTER 590: ALREADY HAD A PLAN (PART 2)

He deliberately kept it a secret, unable to hide the pride on his face, like a child who found a treasure.

"What’s going on, Dad? You’re killing me with suspense!" Li Yuanyuan’s heart was pounding. She put down her bag, pulled her father to sit at the dining table, and asked eagerly, "Mom said the company was going bankrupt, and they couldn’t even pay wages..."

Li Guozhu waved his hand vigorously, as if to wave away the bad luck from yesterday, "Bankruptcy? What bankruptcy! The new boss is here! A great benefactor! Our farm, and the entire Sea Star Company, have been taken over by an incredibly powerful boss! As soon as he came, his methods! Tsk tsk tsk! It’s like a god descended from heaven!"

"Huh? A new boss?" Li Yuanyuan’s heart skipped a beat. Didn’t a new boss usually mean major restructuring and layoffs? "Then... then Dad, you..."

"Don’t worry! Not only was your dad not laid off, but I even got a raise!" Li Guozhu straightened his back, held up three fingers, his voice loud and clear, "Thirty percent! Signed it on the spot! And, us old skilled workers were even named ’core skill experts,’ with an extra allowance every month!" He patted his chest, "Your dad’s skills, the new boss recognizes them!"

"A raise? And... an allowance?" Li Yuanyuan’s mouth dropped open in shock, unable to react for a moment.

This was completely opposite to her expected script of a job crisis and family hardship!

"Of course!" Mrs. Li wiped her hands and walked out of the kitchen, her face showing a rare lightness and genuine smile.

"The new boss is kind and generous! Came in and paid off the bank’s money, paid everyone’s overdue wages with interest! Triple! Old Li and those senior staff, their wages went up by thirty percent! Accountant Zhang said, their funds are really strong! They even brought in international experts to treat our farm! Sea Star is going to turn around!"

The enormous joy surged like a warm tide, making Li Yuanyuan’s eyes hot. She couldn’t believe it: "This... this new boss, who is it? So... amazing! Truly a... savior!"

She couldn’t help but sigh from her heart, so different from her internship leaders who talked big ideals, so unlike the cold-hearted capitalists she imagined in takeovers!

Li Guozhu’s eyes lit up, "I don’t know, just know she’s called President Yan. Oh right, when she came to the farm, she even took a group photo with us old employees. Let me show you!"

As he spoke, he clicked open his phone and handed the picture to his daughter.

"Yan... Yan Yueqing?!" Li Yuanyuan jumped up from the chair, her voice changing pitch, her eyes wide in utter shock and disbelief.

This face, she could never mistake it!!!!!!

It was the Yan Yueqing she had admired for so long!

She is actually the new boss of Sea Star?! The one who pulled her dad back from the edge of unemployment, saved the whole company, and brought hope to hundreds of families?!

The shock made Li Yuanyuan’s mind buzz!

The figure that shone among the clouds, as if existing in another world, had descended in such a grounded, almost savior-like manner, rescued her father’s job, and brightened their about-to-be-dim future?

A hot rush surged to her head, an indescribable excitement, gratitude, admiration, and pride fiercely collided in her chest.

"Alright, Yuanyuan, the ribs are going to get cold, let’s sit down and eat while we chat!"

With that, the three of them sat down, and Li Guozhu happily poured two shots of white wine, telling his daughter the story of this sudden turnaround as they ate.

In the evening, Li Yuanyuan sat by the bed, the orange lamp casting a glow on her face still flushed with excitement.

She repeatedly typed and edited the words on her phone’s Weibo, her fingers trembling slightly with excitement.

Finally, she steeled herself and hit the send button.

@YuanyuanByTheSea: "Life is like a drama, family!!! [Groundhog Scream.jpg] Haidu people should understand! My dad worked at the Sea Star Farm for half his life, yesterday I got a call from my mom saying the farm was about to fold, and I was so anxious I bought a ticket home overnight—thinking even if I worked as a cashier in the small town, I had to support this family! But! When I got home, it was a dramatic scene—the company parachuted a new boss, and everything turned around in a day. The wages for all remaining employees were fully paid with a raise!!! Are you familiar with such a feel-good storyline? The last time I felt this good was hearing about Xingyue’s reform.

Hahaha! Family!! Jealous much? The new boss of my dad’s farm is President Yue!! I’m still feeling like I’m walking on air... How did President Yue parachute in to save our struggling factory that couldn’t even pay wages? But she really did it~~~~ I hear the company is now recruiting heavily, I majored in marine management, hope my interview tomorrow goes well for landing the job!"
