Chapter 895: Chapter 338: Second Assistant, Youth Lecture Hall (Part 2)
Xu Lingyue’s admiration is truly genuine, after all, she just saw Jiang Qingkui as Zhou Wang’s secretary, enjoying such excellent material conditions. Although Huang Duming definitely couldn’t compare to Miss Jiang, he was still someone by Zhou Wang’s side, there’s no doubt about the “prospects” being boundless…
Sure enough, the next second, even with Huang Duming’s steady character, he couldn’t help curling his lips into a smile.
“Mr. Zhou is indeed a very good boss. I had just joined, and he asked the finance department to provide me with a sum to spruce myself up. Moreover, the position’s benefits are better than those at Colliers International, my previous multinational company, at least I never had an annual bonus there…”
“Huang Shixiong, is it convenient to ask what your current salary is?”
Xu Lingyue couldn’t resist her curiosity, and asked softly.
Huang Duming hesitated for a moment and thought that Miss Jiang hadn’t mentioned anything about confidentiality, so he truthfully answered: “My current base salary is twenty-six thousand a month, bonuses are separate… Shimei, do you know how my salary was determined?”
“How was it calculated?”
“When I talked with Miss Jiang face-to-face, she first asked how much I earned previously per month, I said total monthly earnings were about twelve thousand, and then Miss Jiang said, you haven’t even reached Beidou’s average salary…”
Huang Duming felt somewhat embarrassed discussing this topic, then he laughed bitterly: “Then after consulting Mr. Zhou, Miss Jiang set my base salary, saying why not start at double Beidou’s average salary, we can adjust later as needed.”
Xu Lingyue was amused upon hearing this.
The average salary in Beidou is indeed about thirteen thousand, but even in this city, how many people truly earn more than this benchmark?
So-called average, about 90% are “averaged” out by the remaining group of high earners.
Huang Duming is actually already quite excellent.
Graduated two years ago, he became a supervisor at a company dealing internationally, with accommodation and meals covered, already a foothold in Beidou. Besides buying a house being unrealistic, his daily life had no serious issues.
As for herself, previously working as a receptionist at Douyin, her foreseeable monthly income was around 6000 to 8000.
Though unremarkable in Beidou, it already made her an object of envy among her peers, who had just graduated too. However, for Xu Lingyue herself, after paying rent, her finances became tight, it’s been a long time since she bought decent new clothes…
Now, with Zhou Wang’s help, she’s transferred to operations department, her monthly income will surely soar. But Xu Lingyue chose to interview at Wangzhou Culture today not just because of Zhou Wang, more importantly…
It’s like she and Jiang Qingkui said, more possibilities exist here.
Just look at Wangzhou Culture’s recruitment ads in Beidou, even the lowest-level staff start at 10K+, all equipped with six insurances and two funds, and after reaching a certain tenure or significant achievements, will directly receive housing subsidies proportional to any city’s rates…
She believes Zhou Wang wouldn’t joke about such matters, after last time’s events, she’s utterly confident in Zhou Wang’s “character,” even with a bit of blind admiration.
Next second, Huang Duming broached this topic with her.
“Shimei, if you’re also here for an interview, brace yourself. The competition is quite fierce, I took a glance earlier, there are even several master’s graduates from prestigious schools…”
Listening to Huang Duming’s advice, Xu Lingyue became anxious.
She hadn’t contacted Zhou Wang beforehand, her idea was simple, whether Zhou Wang was aware or not, she wanted to enter Wangzhou Culture through her own efforts.
This included some intention to prove a point to that man…
Just when Xu Lingyue was about to speak, she heard the “clack” of high heels; Jiang Qingkui returned after inspecting the newly renovated clubhouse.
As she arrived, all interviewees recognizing her distinct identity instinctively stood up.
Jiang Qingkui passed through the crowd with a blank expression, but before entering the office, she paused, her gaze found Xu Lingyue, beckoning her over:
“Come in first.”
“Me?”
Xu Lingyue was stunned for a moment, then under Huang Duming’s signaling glance, she promptly stepped forward.
Upon entering, Miao Ying, with a high ponytail, closed the door, and Jiang Qingkui sat behind the desk. She briefly browsed the organized resumes and spoke:
“I see your job intention, there doesn’t seem to be a specific position in mind?”
“Yes, I am willing to follow the company’s arrangement, any position is fine…”
“But you practically have no work experience, frankly, Wangzhou Culture probably doesn’t have a suitable position for you.”
“Ah, but I…”
Xu Lingyue didn’t expect the interview to conclude as soon as it started, she was utterly disappointed, wanting to argue, yet feeling powerless.
Since as Jiang Qingkui stated, compared to other job seekers, she really had no advantage.
“However, there is another position, which I think would suit you, are you interested?”
“What position?”
Xu Lingyue’s eyes lit up immediately, quickly asking.
