Gu'er's words caused an uproar.
In this era, just getting paid on time was considered a blessing. Almost no factory offered anything like a perfect attendance bonus. Showing up for work on time every day was expected—it was your duty. Why would anyone get a reward for that? And eight yuan was no small sum.
"For real? You're really going to give us an eight-yuan perfect attendance bonus? You're not just stringing us along, are you?"
"Yeah, if it's real, I swear I'll be here on time every single day. I'll never take a day off."
"Exactly. You'd never find an offer this good anywhere else."
As the crowd kept shouting, Mayor Jin glanced over at Gu'er. 'The terms she's offering are quite generous,' he thought.
"Since I've said it out loud, it must be true. Besides, Mayor Jin and the Secretary are both here. I wouldn't dare try to fool you in front of them."
