After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 1017 - 540: Sudden Downturn

Chen Feng didn't pay much attention to Han Shipei's affairs.

However, in the evening, Wu Mengting came home and talked to Chen Feng about her situation, and mentioned that 200,000 yuan had already been advanced to her. This amount will be deducted slowly from her salary in installments, which essentially ties Han Shipei to Fengmang Film and Television Company, making her feel secure enough to keep working there.

On this, Chen Feng had some opinions, but he doesn't really manage the company's affairs now, especially as it's just 200,000 yuan. Wu Mengting is a company executive and the financial director, so she indeed has the right to advance such an amount to Han Shipei.

Not to mention she is currently the company's star producer; just the "Green Jade Case" project alone, on which she serves as screenwriter, project planner, and producer, is conservatively estimated to bring in at least five or six million in various revenues. With her personal guarantee, 200,000 yuan is really nothing.

Therefore, Chen Feng didn't say much, but he expressed opposition to the suggestion to make Han Shipei permanent next month, and to raise her salary to twelve thousand.

Chen Feng's reason was simple, he had previously reached an agreement with Han Shipei, the probation period was two months, and after becoming permanent, the salary would only be six thousand.

Chen Feng wasn't being stingy; it was simply what they had agreed on beforehand. Moreover, Han Shipei had previously kneeled before him, vowing to serve him like a dog, so she had to stick to her word.

Another reason was that Chen Feng simply found her somewhat annoying and didn't want to give her a high salary.

Wu Mengting, on the other hand, stated that Han Shipei is a born public relations talent, and in the future, the company would need a well-rounded female PR for business banquets and negotiations, so it's necessary to secure her and prevent her from jumping to another company.

Women like Han Shipei, not only beautiful but also savvy, thick-skinned, and practically maxed out when it comes to conversational and social skills, are really rare.

Having such a professional female PR is something every company competes for. Especially entertainment companies like them, such female PRs are extremely sought after.

In fact, many female stars and artists of entertainment companies are used as female PRs by the company in private, often arranged by the company to attend dinners, accompany them to eat and drink, but the results aren't necessarily as good as professional female PRs.

For such relatively professional female PR talents, the basic salary starts at over ten thousand, not to mention various bonuses and allowances.

So, the six thousand offered by Chen Feng is really too low, and over time, it would be difficult to retain talents like Han Shipei.

Wu Mengting talked for quite a while, to the point where Chen Feng was a little annoyed by her nagging. Plus, she did make some valid points, so he could only helplessly let her handle it herself.

One could say that this time, Han Shipei truly encountered a benefactor, having been valued so highly by Wu Mengting.

...

Pan Dongliang arrived at the company early in the morning. He hadn't been to the company much lately because he was busy with his son's affairs, and his desk was piled with quite a few documents requiring his signature and review.

Fortunately, his Dongliang Electrical Company has been established for over ten years, with a familiar set of operating rules and procedures. Even if he, as the boss, doesn't come to work, there's not much of an issue for ten days or half a month.

Not to mention, aside from that very trusted cousin, he also has a very trusted old flame as his female secretary.

This female secretary has been with him for over ten years. When she first joined the company, she was a fresh-faced young graduate, but now, over ten years later, she is thirty-eight. Time has inevitably left marks on her face, with noticeable crow's feet, and her once graceful figure has ballooned over the years, turning into an unmistakably overweight middle-aged woman.

Hence, five or six years ago, he had stopped being involved with her. Five or six years ago, she found herself a new partner—a regular civil servant a couple of years younger than her. On their wedding day, he gave them a generous red packet, and privately another 500,000 yuan as a breakup fee. The following year, they had a daughter. The family's days are quite good.

As for why she didn't resign after getting married? It's because Dongliang Electrical cannot do without her, and Pan Dongliang also can't do without her. After all, he was used to working with her and trusts her.

The reason this female secretary didn't resolutely leave is primarily because the compensation from Pan Dongliang's side is decent enough. Her yearly salary plus various bonuses and allowances amounts to about 500,000 yuan, not to mention some other relatively hidden incomes. She truly finds it hard to part with.

Additionally, her husband is just a remarried and divorced regular civil servant with a unit-allocated welfare house and monthly salary of seven or eight thousand. If he weren't decently handsome, had no children, and was fairly honest, she wouldn't have chosen him to take over.

Her husband's earning level certainly can't satisfy her daily consumption needs, and there's no way she'd be a full-time homemaker at home. Both of them have to go to work to support the family, which is the plight of the petty bourgeoisie.

That day, when Pan Dongliang came to the company, the female secretary had already organized the documents needing his signature and review on his desk, categorizing them by urgency and importance.

That's the benefit of having a good secretary. Otherwise, it would be chaotic, and he'd have to search and review each document one by one, significantly reducing work efficiency.

While Pan Dongliang sat down to sign documents, the female secretary took a tablet and spoke to him about the work matters that required his appearance in the company over the past couple of days, as well as the itinerary he would need to follow.
