A Little Tactic, a Huge Gain in Experience!

[Congratulations on completing your check-in. You have successfully received 1 yuan and 2 jiao]

The system gave no reply.

Still unable to stop thinking about it, Liang Xin munched on sunflower seeds and forced himself to stay up until midnight!

Then, the moment the time came, he checked in.

He discovered that after the upgrade, the check-in payout had increased by two jiao!

It had gone from one yuan to 1.2 yuan!

A huge improvement!

Far ahead of the rest!

All right, he could only say it was pretty good. It wasn't much, but it was an improvement after all!

Looking at it another way, that was a 20 percent increase in one go.

How long would an ordinary worker have to slog away to get a 20 percent raise?

He had managed it in three days!

In the supply and marketing cooperative system, a grade-one worker only made thirty-three yuan a month.

He was already making thirty-six!

That was three yuan more.

And this was free money!

Even without going to work or lifting a finger, he could still collect it.

Thinking of it that way, wasn't it wonderful?

Besides, two jiao might not be much, but the system could keep upgrading!

Wouldn't he get even more in the future?

With his worries put to rest, Liang Xin finally fell asleep, his heart full of hope for the future.

That night, he dreamed that his system had reached level ten thousand.

This time, he could finally make a real wish!

Then, with endless wealth in tow, he returned to the modern era.

He kicked his former boss, became a CEO, married a rich, beautiful woman, and reached the pinnacle of life!

Still grinning in his sleep with his back teeth showing, Liang Xin suddenly changed expression. "No, no! I'm this awesome, so why am I still working for someone else? No, I don't want to be a CEO. I want to be the boss! The boss!"

Early the next morning, Liang Xin woke to find that the rich beauty was gone. Feeling rather disappointed, he sat in a daze for a while.

Then he made himself a bowl of dried noodles with greens.

Eating big portions of meat at every meal for the past two days had been a bit much for him.

All right, mainly because his cooking skills weren't up to par.

At first, he had been so short of oil and fat that he could eat his cooking no matter how bad it tasted.

After two days of getting plenty of oil and fat, he had started caring about quality.

He had heard that there were state-run restaurants at this time.

Their food had to be better than his.

Then he would eat at a state-run restaurant when he got back that afternoon!

Although he had heard they were a little expensive.

But would Boss Liang, who had already found a new source of income, care about that little bit of money?

After all, he had earned five yuan in such a short time!

So he even helped himself freely to the high-priced sunflower seeds that had just refreshed in the shop, at 4.5 jiao per jin!

The seeds were big and fragrant, but he ate them too quickly.

Before long, he had finished half a jin!

That cost him 2 jiao, 2 fen, and 5 li!

One jin of sunflower seeds could buy three or four jin of rice, or even seven or eight jin of coarse grain.

Who else would dare squander money like he did?

Of course, he ate them in secret. He didn't dare bring them out and eat them openly.

That would make people green with envy!

If someone really did report him and he actually ended up under investigation, it would be troublesome.

"Kids, come here! Come here!"

With a clatter, more than a dozen children ran over and surrounded him.

Every one of them tilted up their little heads and looked at him expectantly.

Was Big Brother Liang going to hand out candy to everyone again?

They couldn't wait!

Then they saw Liang Xin nod in satisfaction.

"Not bad, every one of you is full of energy!"

"Remember to pay attention in class!"

"Study hard and make progress every day!"

"All right, that's all. Go play!"

What the hell? That's all?

The children were dumbfounded.

You called us over just to praise and encourage us?

No! We don't want encouragement! We want candy!

The children's expectant eyes dimmed one pair after another.

A few of the younger ones couldn't withstand the blow and were on the verge of tears.

"Haha, I was teasing you. Here, one piece of candy each! No taking extra!"

The eyes that had dimmed lit up again, even brighter than before!

And this time, Liang Xin also gained more experience than he had yesterday!

Sure enough, tactics for managing subordinates could be used not only at big companies, but on children too.

First give them hope, then shatter it!

When the other party was in despair, satisfy their needs again, and you would reap more of their gratitude, and more sincere gratitude at that!

Only then would they work harder and risk their lives for you in the future!

The old ancestors truly did not lie to me!

Liang Xin, acting like a complete scoundrel, used his tactics to walk away with over sixty experience points, then headed to work, thoroughly pleased with himself.

The moment he stepped into the workplace, his expression changed.

His formerly triumphant look turned rather troubled.

His expression succeeded in drawing his coworkers' attention.

Although most people in this era had a sallow, underfed look, their faces were always smiling and radiant.

So the expression he deliberately put on naturally drew everyone's attention.

"Xiao Liang, what's wrong?"

"Sigh, don't ask, Brother Li. I didn't close the window properly when I went to bed last night. I must have caught a chill. I don't have a bit of strength in my whole body, and I feel awful!"

Team leader Zhou Aimin hadn't expected him to be lying.

So Zhou Aimin hurriedly said with concern, "Xiao Liang, if you're feeling unwell, go home and rest. I'll give you leave!"

"No, team leader! What's a little illness like mine? When things get tough, think of the twenty thousand..."
