Chapter 2848 I Want to Enjoy the Inheritance Rights
Everything in the cotton garden went on as planned according to Shi Li's previous arrangements, and no major problems arose.
After Shi Li came back, she carefully visited the cotton garden again under the guidance of the person in charge.
The oriental faces who had been sold to her along with the cotton garden were working diligently, not daring to slack off for even a moment.
Shi Li observed carefully for a few days and found a young girl among them.
After asking, I found out that this girl named Li Ni was only 20 years old, but her weather-beaten face looked much older than her actual age. Shi Li even thought she was in her 30s.
When she was brought to Shi Li by the steward, she was serious and alert.
"I want you to be the manager, responsible for organizing and communicating with your compatriots." Shi Li did not beat around the bush with her, but directly stated her purpose.
Then, in front of Li Ni's shocked eyes, she said that she would increase their wages according to their work results.
Originally, these people were considered semi-illegal residents here, and the Cotton Garden only provided them with food and lodging, and only gave them a symbolic dollar every one or two months.
Now Shi Li suddenly changed all this. Li Ni couldn't believe it at all and even suspected that she had other purposes.
She frowned and looked at Shi Li critically.
No matter how you look at it, she is an innocent and delicate noble lady. Can she really have the final say? She is too skeptical.
"Promise me, there's no harm in that."
Shi Li could guess her concerns, raised her hand and touched the necklace on her neck, then said, "In the first week, I will pay you the wages for the day after work every day. In the second week, we will pay you on a weekly basis."
If you can get the money on the same day, then there is nothing to lose by giving it a try.
Li Ni was shaken.
But she still replied: "I have to discuss it with others. I can't make the decision alone."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Shi Li didn't urge her and watched her leave with a smile.
But the steward standing next to her didn't look very happy.
On the one hand, it was because Shi Li actually wanted an oriental woman to be the manager, and on the other hand, such drastic reforms by Shi Li would increase a lot of costs.
"Miss, should you discuss this with Mr. Otto?" the steward advised in what he thought was a tactful way.
But Shi Li just glanced at him calmly and said, "Everything here is decided by me. Do you understand?"
She doesn't need to be too polite when facing this manager.
Excessive politeness and respect will only make some people think that she is weak and can be bullied, and then they will take advantage of her.
The manager was choked and didn't dare to say anything. He lowered his head and stepped aside silently.
Not long after, Li Ni came back.
This time, her expression was a little more relaxed. She came back and said to Shi Li, "We agree to your request, but we won't accept it if you don't pay us even once."
When she said this, she was actually a little nervous, after all, they didn't have any bargaining chips with the noble lady.
But if they don't say this, they may be deceived again.
"Okay, I agree." Unexpectedly, Shi Li agreed without hesitation, and then pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit down, let's determine the salary payment standard..."
Li Ni stayed and talked to Shi Li for a long time.
He was alert and cautious at first, then slowly relaxed, and finally trusted Shi Li completely from the bottom of his heart, and there was light in his eyes again.
At last, she couldn't help but ask: "Then why do you want to help us? Help me?"
Although this matter is beneficial to both parties now, it is obviously more beneficial to them.
Shi Li tilted her head, picked up the teacup and took a sip of the black tea in it.
What she drank was naturally local tea, but it was still far inferior to the tea in China.
Slowly swallowing the tea, Shi Li replied: "Because I am kind... I was just kidding, I just think it's not easy for you to leave your hometown and come here. Work hard and try to gain a foothold here."
Even if he changed his identity, Shi Li could not bear to see his compatriots suffer and lose out here.
She helps as much as she can.
"Okay, I understand, thank you!" Li Ni stood up and bowed to her solemnly.
Because of Shi Li's changed rules, the cotton garden has regained a different vitality.
On the first day, the workers from the East were still a little nervous and distrustful.
But when they really got the same salary as the locals or even more because of their hard work in the evening, everything was different.
Like Li Ni, most of them had light in their eyes again.
The second day, the third day...
Their work is getting better and better, and their faces are becoming more and more radiant.
In fact, after calculating for such a month, the Cotton Garden did not spend more money, but earned a lot more because of their hard work.
Even the manager who was initially dissatisfied looked at Shi Li with a different look.
Shi Li was about to leave to attend Kevin and Ellie's engagement ceremony.
