Xiao Qing gestured for Zhou Shuren to sit down, "Try the freshly brewed tea."
Zhou Shuren was indeed cold, so he sat down, poured himself some tea, and sniffed it, hmm, good tea, "Does the gentleman have any instructions?"
Xiao Qing really had no specific instructions. At the end of last year, Zhou Shuren had made a number of improvements. Previously messy areas had become much neater. He began, "At the start of the year, there's nothing of great importance. Currently, the most significant matter is salary distribution."
Zhou Shuren counted the days, and indeed, it was time for salary distribution again. With the start of the new year, there were promotions and demotions, "Then your subordinate should head back."
