Chapter 224: Chapter 143 Jiang Qingkui’s Subtle Change_2
“Me…”
Xiao Ai initially wanted to answer for Miao Ying, but who knew that Miao Ying would raise her hand at this moment, stopping her.
Facing the gaze of the three, Miao Ying slightly bowed her head awkwardly before speaking, “Can I ask for a little more… I’m really short on money.”
Xiao Ai paused for a moment, and before she could speak, Zhou Wang, who found it interesting, curiously asked, “When you say ‘a little more,’ how much exactly?”
“Three hundred thousand annual salary.”
Miao Ying avoided Zhou Wang’s gaze and spoke in a very stiff tone, “Mr. Zhou, if possible, after the probation period, I’d like to advance a portion of my salary.”
An annual salary of three hundred thousand to hire a personal driver was really an outrageous price, at least in Ming City…
Of course, there were standout performers in the driving industry who could achieve this income, but usually, they drove big vehicles, working tirelessly without rest. Only those who had experienced it knew how hard it was to earn that money…
“Mr. Zhou, would you like to hear my opinion?”
Zhou Wang was still pondering when Xiao Ai, after casting a helpless look at Miao Ying, opened her mouth.
Xiao Ai had known Miao Ying before; her resume being prioritized by the headhunting company couldn’t have been achieved without Xiao Ai’s operation.
What Zhou Wang didn’t know was that not every job seeker could receive the accompaniment of the headhunting company. Xiao Ai appeared here genuinely wanting to help Miao Ying.
Otherwise, even if accompaniment was required for the interview, with her status as a senior manager, such an offer with an annual salary not exceeding a million wouldn’t have been worth her personal involvement.
Xiao Ai knew that Miao Ying wasn’t good at socializing. She had instructed her to speak less and avoid making mistakes, but unexpectedly, the other party still spoke…
Talking about an “advance” before being well acquainted generally aroused aversion from the recruiters.
“You talk.” Zhou Wang looked up.
“In fact, according to our company’s internal Ability Evaluation of Cherry, a three hundred thousand annual salary isn’t exaggerated.”
Xiao Ai smiled and said, “Mainly based on three reasons.”
“First, Cherry not only has proficient driving skills, but she also holds multiple international driving licenses. A person of your stature always needs to travel abroad…”
“Second, as you may have sensed, Mr. Zhou, her personality means she is tight-lipped and calm, giving you peace of mind. But her past achievements also illustrate her intelligence…”
“Third, aside from driving, Cherry possesses several personal skills, like car repair and Sandboxing…”
Listening to Xiao Ai’s eloquence, Zhou Wang couldn’t help but smile. These professional managers from headhunting companies really had their way with words. It seemed that no matter good or bad, everything could be turned into an advantage coming from her mouth…
Zhou Wang had heard enough, so he raised his hand to stop her.
“Alright, let’s leave it at that… Can you start working tomorrow, any issues?”
Upon hearing Zhou Wang’s initial words, Xiao Ai and Miao Ying originally thought Zhou Wang would reject. Who knew there’d be a twist, Zhou Wang’s straightforwardness almost caught Xiao Ai off guard.
“Then Mr. Zhou, if you want to start work tomorrow, about the contract…”
However, Xiao Ai reacted quickly, soon smiling as she asked.
“Sign it now, as per Miao Ying’s words, three hundred thousand annual salary, with the probation period according to industry norms. But I can personally assure you, if there are no issues, this period will be very short.”
Zhou Wang smiled faintly, “Additionally, there are six insurances and two funds upon joining. Good performance will bring other benefits; three hundred thousand is just the starting salary. Principally, there will be annual salary adjustments… Hmm, that’s it, Qianqian, the rest is up to you.”
After giving a brief promise, the matter of signing the contract was naturally handed over to Xu Wenqian, while Zhou Wang went outside for a smoke.
“Mr. Zhou is indeed different from other bosses I’ve met…”
Xiao Ai sighed.
Xu Wenqian just smiled, and after she finished signing the “probation period agreement” with Miao Ying, she thought for a moment and still encouraged her, “Miss Miao, do your best!”
Miao Ying, a little more relaxed at this moment, raised her head, her clear eyes hiding confusion. She could hear Xu Wenqian’s subtle meaning, but didn’t quite understand what she intended.
“If you really need money, then strive to earn the boss’s appreciation. Trust me, your problems will be solved very soon…”
Miao Ying paused, understanding some but not all, and nodded.
“Thank you, Assistant Xu… I will do my best.”
…
Early next morning, Zhou Wang promptly opened his eyes at 8:30.
After exercising and eating breakfast as usual, Zhou Wang instinctively took a few steps toward the bedroom, then stopped.
He was muddled. Every time he returned home, he needed to pack, but this time there seemed to be nothing to bring. Jiang Qingkui had already prepared everything he needed, and he only had to be a hands-off boss…
After showering and changing clothes, when Zhou Wang came out, Jiang Qingkui, Chen Mei, and the driver Miao Ying, who started her duties today, were already waiting in the living room.
As for Xu Wenqian, since Zhou Wang didn’t need her to accompany him home this time, she could finally take a break.
Just around the matter with Cheng Zhe, she herself needed to return home to visit her parents, so Zhou Wang granted her a few extra days off.
Suddenly seeing the three women standing in the living room, Zhou Wang was momentarily stunned.
Miao Ying still wore work pants and a vest, a cool style, with just a pair of sunglasses tucked at her chest.
But Jiang Qingkui was very different.
Zhou Wang’s gaze was instantly drawn to her and held fast.
Wow, a Hermes professional black silk suit, she really put it on…
