Chapter 855 What's going on here?
Chen Xiao's earlier claim that "Ding Yong is a good person" is completely unbelievable to Yu Shanshan's boyfriend!
But Chen Xiao's next sentence, "at least 5," convinced him, and his emotions calmed down considerably. He turned to Yu Shanshan and asked, "Fifteen thousand?"
Yu Shanshan was in a bad mood and gave a faint "hmm." Her boyfriend seemed somewhat relieved.
However, as his emotions calmed down, he had time to examine Chen Xiao. The more he looked at him, the more something seemed off. Why would a man be so handsome?
He gave him a somewhat unfriendly look. "You and Shanshan are very close?"
Chen Xiao was speechless. Why was this man so petty? "Our relationship is just ordinary, don't go spreading rumors, or my wife will misunderstand."
He seemed to be joking, but he was actually highlighting two key points. He emphasized that their relationship was ordinary, but more importantly, he was stating that he was married and had a wife!
Yu Shanshan's boyfriend was slightly relieved and nodded, saying to her, "Get in the car, I'll take you home!"
Watching the BMW 3 Series disappear into the night, Chen Xiao shook his head. He didn't think highly of either of them. Yu Shanshan was a nice person, but her taste in boyfriends was terrible!
Mr. Shao and his guests walked and chatted as they left Xiao Restaurant.
"Everyone, I'm a little sorry. I have to go on a business trip with the chairman tomorrow. Mr. Ding asked me to come over again to review the communication plan with the client. So I won't be able to join you for the second session!"
"No problem, no problem! Mr. Ding's matter is the most important. But next time, I would really appreciate it if Mr. Shao would do me the honor of attending!"
"Haha, definitely, definitely!" Mr. Shao still enjoys going to karaoke bars, but he received a call from Ding Yong while eating. Tomorrow he's going to Shanghai to discuss the establishment of an authorized user center for Junxing Auto. There are some issues with the proposed plan, and he's planning to invite Mr. Shao to the company to discuss them further!
"Then Mr. Shao, please get back to work. It's almost 8 o'clock, any later and you'll miss your rest!"
Mr. Shao waved his hand: "Mr. Ding's business is booming like a rocket. We've forgotten what working hours are anymore. We're available anytime!"
"Alright everyone, my car is almost here!" The driver had already gone to get the car before we left. As the company's vice president, he has an official car, currently a Buick Regal M8!
After saying that, he turned his gaze towards the parking lot, and suddenly paused. Looking at a familiar figure a hundred meters ahead, he thought it was the person who looked somewhat familiar at Lu Yan's table earlier, whose name seemed to be Chen Xiao.
"Wow, a Rolls-Royce Phantom!" someone exclaimed softly beside him. Mr. Shao watched as the young man, whose back resembled Chen Xiao's, got into the car as the driver opened the door.
A Rolls-Royce Phantom? Anyone who can afford a car like that must be incredibly wealthy. Chen Xiao, surnamed Chen... President Shao's pupils constricted suddenly, a flash of inspiration striking him—he remembered why Chen Xiao looked so familiar!
On one occasion, Mr. Ding was invited to a banquet. At that time, Mr. Ding had just established the first HarmonyOS Smart Choice authorized user center. Among those present at the banquet that evening were Ms. Gao Yue and the mysterious boss of Junxiao Group, whom Mr. Shao remembered Mr. Ding referring to as Mr. Chen!
That day, Mr. Shao was in charge of driving for Mr. Ding. While waiting for Mr. Ding, he watched Mr. Ding bowing and scraping as he saw him into the car, which seemed to be a Rolls-Royce Phantom!
The way Chen Xiao looked as he got into the car was almost a perfect replica of the image that President Shao had seen him in.
No way? How could it be him? How could it be?
If it were him, why would he attend Lu Yan's banquet? No, it should be said that he would never become friends with Yu Shanshan, a lowly employee of the company. If Yu Shanshan were as beautiful as President Gao, perhaps it would be understandable, but Yu Shanshan is only of above-average looks. The boss of Junxiao Group is surrounded by beautiful women; how could he possibly be interested in someone like her?
But if it wasn't him, how do you explain this Rolls-Royce Phantom?
On the way back to the company, General Manager Shao kept thinking about this question: Was it General Manager Chen, or not? It wasn't until he arrived at Ding Yong's office that Ding Yong noticed his unusual behavior: "Old Shao, what's wrong? Is something wrong at home?"
"Mr. Ding, what is the full name of Mr. Chen from Junxiao Group?"
Ding Yong was taken aback by his words, then his expression turned serious: "Why are you asking this?"
It wasn't that Ding Yong and his group were being deliberately mysterious; it's just that President Chen really dislikes being the center of attention. Otherwise, if he had to be surrounded by stares every time he went out shopping, life would be far too dull! Besides, they felt that the fewer people who knew about President Chen, the better for his safety. After all, a few months ago, there was an attack on President Chen in Shanghai!
"I...I think I ran into him tonight!"
"Huh?" Ding Yong stood up abruptly. "Where is he? Are you sure it's him?"
"At Lu Yan's welcome dinner, he was with one of our new colleagues, oh right, a new employee in your secretariat named Yu Shanshan!"
Ding Yong frowned: "You must have mistaken someone for someone else! How could that be! Tell me, what did that person look like?"
Mr. Shao recalled: "He was nearly 180cm tall, very refined, and quite handsome."
As he described it, Ding Yong's expression grew increasingly solemn.
"After that, I saw him get into a Rolls-Royce Phantom," Mr. Shao said, then looked at Mr. Ding. He had described it clearly enough, and you could tell from Mr. Ding's expression that it was most likely him!
"Oh, by the way, he said his name is Chen Xiao."
Ding Yong stubbed out his cigarette, his expression grave: "That's right, it's President Chen! Old Shao, just keep this to yourself, don't leak any information about him! As for Yu Shanshan, find out about her compensation."
He didn't know why Chen Xiao was with Yu Shanshan, but since they were together, he had to take this person seriously!
In the BMW 3 Series, Yu Shanshan remained silent the entire way. When the car pulled over, her boyfriend asked, "Can't you come stay with me tonight?"
She shook her head: "Let's spend some more time together." She's rather conservative. Although everyone is very open-minded now, and many people sleep together the night after meeting for the first time, she can't accept that!
Besides, there are already many barriers between them, and she doesn't know if they can continue their relationship, so she's even less likely to go out with him easily!
Her boyfriend was unhappy. "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I feel you're not being honest with me enough."
Yu Shanshan, who was about to get out of the car, smiled coldly upon hearing this: "I'm very honest in spirit, but I know this isn't what you want."
"No, for example, you became a secretary without discussing it with me beforehand."
It would have been better if this hadn't been brought up, because it ignited Yu Shanshan's anger. Earlier at [Xiao Restaurant], if Chen Xiao hadn't intervened, she would have already exploded!
"What's wrong with me being a secretary? Did I steal or rob? I studied secretarial studies in college, what's wrong with me being a secretary?"
"It won't sound good if people say that!"
"Put away your male chauvinism. I earn my living through my own labor, what's wrong with that? Besides, with my monthly salary of 15,000, do you think there's something wrong with me? Am I that worthless?"
The moment he finished speaking, his phone rang!
"Why would someone call you so late?" her boyfriend asked, looking suspicious.
Yu Shanshan was on the verge of a breakdown. "Show me your phone. This is Lu Yan's, our secretary. She's a woman. If she's calling me, it must be about work!"
"Working so late? Does your boss have some special requirements?"
"Are you crazy?!" Yu Shanshan was furious!
"I'm putting it on speakerphone, you can listen to it yourself! If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear!"
"No, I didn't doubt you. After all, your monthly salary is 15,000, not 50,000!" Her boyfriend realized that Yu Shanshan was angry and immediately backed down!
Yu Shanshan pressed the speakerphone button to answer: "Boss—" "Shanshan, I have good news for you."
Good news? I haven't even officially started working yet, what good news could there be?
"Shanshan, the boss specifically asked for a raise for you. Your monthly salary is now 5 yuan."
"." Yu Shanshan's mouth opened slightly; she really couldn't process this information!
Her boyfriend's eyes blazed with fury. 5! 5! And he says it's nothing?!
Yu Shanshan asked anxiously, "Boss, why? Did we all get a raise?"
Lu Yan had no idea why. Just now, Boss Ding had texted her, asking her to contact HR tomorrow to adjust Yu Shanshan's salary to 5. She wanted to know why, which was why she called Yu Shanshan that evening, since even Lu Yan's salary wasn't that high.
"Shanshan, you're still hiding this from me. Okay, salaries are a secret within the company; no one else will know. And your close relationship with the boss is something only I know; no one else will."
"It's getting late, you should get some rest too. We can talk again at the office tomorrow!"
As the phone call ended, the breathing inside the car became heavy. "How do you explain this? How else do you want to explain?"
Yu Shanshan looked completely bewildered. How could this be explained? She had no idea what was going on either.
"Okay, I'm getting off the bus." If I stay any longer, I'll get so angry I could set the bus on fire!
"Yu Shanshan, you have to resign!" her boyfriend roared from behind.
Turning back: "I will not resign. I'll emphasize again, I don't know the boss at all!"
"Do I look like an idiot to you?" my boyfriend roared!
Yu Shanshan took a breath and stopped pressing the matter. There was no way to clear her name today; she could only find out the truth later when she joined the company.
The next day, I joined Gemdale Group.
After the HR representative showed them around the various departments of the company, the group went to report to Lu Yan!
After encouraging the group, Lu Yan deliberately kept Yu Shanshan behind, which surprised the others. Last night, President Lu was not as friendly to Yu Shanshan as she was today!
"Shanshan, sit down, sit down! Don't be shy!" Lu Yan smiled like a flower.
Yu Shanshan felt even more awkward. The leader was being so polite, and she felt nervous, as if she were floating in the air with no footing!
"Shanshan, how are you feeling?"
“The company environment is great, and my colleagues are very friendly. Oh, and you’re so good to us, boss!” she quickly added at the end, which made Lu Yan giggle.
"You're welcome, you're welcome. From now on, just treat me like an older sister at the company. If there's anything you don't understand or can't do, don't hesitate to ask me!"
"Thank you, boss!"
"Shanshan, I called you over to ask you about your current job responsibilities and salary, or any other things I haven't considered. Do you have any thoughts on those?"
"have--"
Lu Yan quickly sat up straight, picked up the notebook on the table, and said, "You go ahead." It seemed she was planning to take notes!
Yu Shanshan was stunned. She had never seen a leader who valued the opinions of his subordinates so much! Feeling somewhat flattered, she raised her question: "Leader, I have a question about my compensation!"
"Oh?" "Go on!"
"Yesterday you said that of the several colleagues in the secretariat who joined at the same time, I'm the only one with a base salary of 5—"
Lu Yan nodded: "Yes, the chairman gave you this special instruction..." As Lu Yan spoke, she paid attention to Yu Shanshan's expression. She noticed that Yu Shanshan also seemed very shocked, as if she didn't know why the chairman was giving her this special instruction!
Wow, what great acting! I can't tell at all. But if you say Yu Shanshan has no relationship with the chairman, she definitely won't believe it.
Yu Shanshan was taken aback, a genuine worry creeping into her heart. Could the chairman really be after her? She said softly, "Boss, I can't accept a reward without merit. I'm just an ordinary employee; my salary doesn't match my qualifications!"
Hmm? Lu Yan pondered Yu Shanshan's words and came to a different understanding!
"Shanshan, I will report your issue to the chairman."
After leaving Lu Yan's office, Yu Shanshan was conflicted! A monthly salary of 5 yuan—who wouldn't want more money? Now she was both afraid that the chairman really had designs on her, and worried that she was overthinking things. After Lu Yan reported the matter to the chairman, her benefits were canceled!
Also, Chen Xiao is really unreliable. He agreed to come over today so I could ask Lu Yan to arrange work for him, but he said it wasn't necessary and that he already had a job!
You have a job and you're still broke? You don't even have money for food!
At noon, Yu Shanshan's phone rang. She picked up the phone and found it was her boyfriend calling again, which was the kind of call she least wanted to answer these days!
After hesitating for a moment, I swiped to answer: "What do you want now?"
"Shanshan, I'm downstairs. Let's have lunch together!"
"What are you doing here again?" Yu Shanshan was exasperated! But since he was already here, she had no choice but to go downstairs and have dinner with him.
Meanwhile, Lu Yan also called Ding Yong: "Mr. Ding, I spoke with Yu Shanshan this morning. She feels her salary doesn't match her position..."
"Oh? That's easy!" Ding Yong's subsequent arrangement stunned Lu Yan, leaving her both surprised and envious!
Downstairs in a Western restaurant, Yu Shanshan and her boyfriend sat facing each other!
"Shanshan, it's not that I'm being paranoid! It's just that your boss giving you 5 yuan is clearly up to no good!"
“I already said I don’t know the boss. Besides, I’ve already told the company that my compensation is unreasonable, and a pay cut is likely going to be implemented.”
"Really?" he asked, half-believing, half-doubting.
"Really, I'll take a pay cut of tens of thousands, are you satisfied now?" (End of Chapter)
