"Boss said the annual salary is as you mentioned, 300,000, with six types of insurance and two types of funds. However, to reasonably avoid tax, half of it should be given as an annual bonus, with the other half paid monthly in advance..."
Zhou Wang, the hands-off manager, lounged in his chair, sipping on a cold Coke, as Xu Wenqian explained the salary details to Miao Ying:
"But since you said you wanted to advance your salary, the boss agreed, 300,000 will be given to you in a lump sum right after signing the contract. In principle, your salary will still be adjusted quarterly, and bonuses are calculated separately..."
Before Xu Wenqian could finish, Miao Ying already lifted her head in disbelief.
She had considered asking for an advance on her salary, but thought requesting a few months’ worth was already too much. Who knew Zhou Wang would go ahead and advance an entire year’s salary to her...
As Miao Ying stared dumbfoundedly at him, Zhou Wang asked with concern, "Is 300,000 enough? If not, I can still..."
He vaguely knew why Miao Ying needed money. According to the information, her parents left to work far away when she was very young and never returned. Miao Ying, who was left in the village, was raised by her grandmother, who apparently had health issues...
Zhou Wang surely didn’t care how the salary was distributed. As long as the contract was signed, this part got reimbursed by the system.
The system only assessed whether the salary he offered was within a reasonable range but didn’t interfere with how it was paid out.
So theoretically, Miao Ying could advance three years’ salary, as long as the system didn’t issue a warning...
"It’s enough, it’s enough... Mr. Zhou, no, Boss, I... I..."
Upon realizing, Miao Ying quickly nodded, her eyes already starting to redden. She opened her mouth several times but didn’t know what to say. The face that should have been cool and composure turned adorable and clumsy in this moment...
"No need to say anything, just do a good job in the future."
Zhou Wang gently interrupted her.
"Yeah... I will."
Miao Ying reined in her emotions a bit, nodding seriously.
"Ying Tao, apart from the salary paid in advance, you also have a 20,000 bonus this month, which will be given to you together..."
Xu Wenqian was also genuinely happy for Miao Ying.
She quite liked this silent and reserved girl from Miao Border. Interacting with her was much easier than with Sister Qingkui...
Jiang Qingkui was only more reserved when facing Zhou Wang. Her naturally proud aura wasn’t something that everyone could withstand.
Whenever she communicated work with Jiang Qingkui, Xu Wenqian felt tremendous pressure, fearing even the slightest mistake...
"Ah, but I was in the intern period before. There are bonuses?"
Miao Ying asked somewhat haltingly.
"As long as you perform well, what does it matter if you are in an intern period?"
Zhou Wang waved his hand, "Since you’ve been sincere to me, it’s only fair for me to show some appreciation."
Zhou Wang referred to many details during their interaction over the period, like when they went back to his hometown. Facing a bully neighbor, Miao Ying stood protectively in front of him...
Also, no matter what time it was, as long as Zhou Wang hadn’t rested, Miao Ying would always wait for him. Including that time when Zhou Wang told her she could go back and rest, but she still sat in the car for hours...
Miao Ying pursed her lips, nodded without saying more. But even Xu Wenqian could tell she was deeply touched...
Xu Wenqian could only express that Miao Ying was moved too early.
She knew too well about Zhou Wang’s "peculiar habits." The series of benefits after joining were far more substantial than a salary of tens of thousands.
"Ying Tao, if there are no issues, you can sign the contract."
Xu Wenqian pushed the contract in front of Miao Ying at this moment.
Without even looking, Miao Ying flipped to the last page, signed her name, and left her fingerprint.
Like Xu Wenqian and Jiang Qingkui, her current labor relationship also belonged to "Wangzhou Culture."
Ding!

...
Zhou Wang’s gaze drifted as he briefly scanned the system prompt, noting that Miao Ying’s "New Hire Gift Package" was quite distinct from Xu Wenqian’s and Jiang Qingkui’s.
Only, that Audemars Piguet sports watch, if Zhou Wang remembered correctly, should be a men’s watch...
However, considering Miao Ying’s vibe, it would still look stylish on her if the strap’s color got adjusted.
That watch was indeed not cheap. Zhou Wang recalled it being priced around over a hundred thousand, much more expensive than Xu Wenqian’s Cartier Ballon Bleu. But considering Miao Ying hadn’t received the system’s special funding for buying a car, a pricier watch wasn’t a big deal.
Jiang Qingkui’s Patek Philippe had long arrived in Ming City and was still with him because Zhou Wang hadn’t had the opportunity to present it...
Mainly as he didn’t want to cause Jiang Qingkui to misunderstand.
Moreover, Zhou Wang was quite intrigued by this "Master’s Toolbox," as most boys had no resistance to such items. Later, he planned to check what’s inside.
"Qianqian, remember to contact Lin Dong from Hermes regarding Miao Ying’s work attire. You should be able to pick it up in a day or two."
Zhou Wang reminded Xu Wenqian, "Also coordinate with Lin Dong about the bag, dress, and sunglasses specifics."
