Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 682 - 11: Old Huang and Secretary Liu_3

The perception of one’s character and ability becomes more intuitive.

At this moment, Secretary Xu spoke honestly:

"Although their ambition is not high, once something is assigned to them, they basically do it thoroughly."

"I’ve heard that over the past few years, Young President Xie sometimes has clear moments and other times not. During these times, they’ve helped facilitate interactions and negotiations with all major partners without a hitch."

Since they’re confident their position isn’t in jeopardy, and any changes would be for the better, they speak quite candidly and sincerely at this moment.

Old Zhou took a sip of goji berry tea: "I believe that President Xie isn’t thinking straight; otherwise, for someone like that to request a raise, just give it to them. Unless their demands are too excessive, how could they not retain them?"

Old Zhou, coming from a real estate background, believes in one word: [Give!]

Everyone’s out to make money. As long as one’s ability is sufficient, he’ll pay enough!

Back then, he risked everything to hire a designer for the lakeside villas, offering an exorbitant design fee, which caused many in the industry to scoff.

Who knew that the designer worked diligently and completed the project; their previous work won an international award, which significantly boosted Old Zhou’s reputation!

Because of that, although Old Zhou lacked formal education, everyone trusted his capability in handling matters.

...

Speaking of this, Secretary Xu also found it odd.

"This Secretary Liu doesn’t seem like the greedy type. Once during a drunken chat, it seemed they mentioned President Xie was unwilling to hire more people, so everything was left to them, but their annual salary was only a few hundred thousand..."

It was during that drunken conversation, but even so, they didn’t say anything they shouldn’t have.

Secretary Xu shook his head and laughed: "But this is too unbelievable, so I didn’t dare to believe it. Yet, considering this network now, it might actually be true."

But thinking about it... It couldn’t be, right?

The scale of Tianyu isn’t that big, but could industry salaries be this low?

"A few hundred thousand is not likely."

Old Zhou still had some reasoning.

"Since Secretary Liu is a smart person, they should have a sense of judgment. Given the size of Tianyu, being the only personal secretary, a normal salary should be above two million, with other bonuses or dividends counted separately."

He remembered something: "We can’t understand entertainment companies; maybe over there at Tianyu, the base pay is low, but additional allowances are substantial."

"I remember during a gathering, when folks tried to poach Secretary Liu, President Xie once said the bonuses he gave to Secretary Liu recently started at 50,000... if that’s the case, their salary might not be low, just don’t know why they still couldn’t retain them."

If not for greed, perhaps it’s because Xie Rongzhao overloaded them with work, and they couldn’t handle it anymore. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

It’s strange; despite the group’s vast array of affairs, the secretarial department remains understaffed with frequent turnover...

Old Zhou shook his head, utterly puzzled.

...

Secretary Xu contemplated for a moment:

"I’ll ask someone to inquire. But Secretary Liu’s ability is indeed stable; perhaps we should make an offer to get in touch on our end..."

In such small matters, Old Zhou no longer intervened and delegated all authority to Secretary Xu.

"If they’re truly that capable, doubling the salary wouldn’t be much. Go find out..."

Old Zhou straightened up: "If you think it’s worthwhile, hire them to assist that young brat, I have other uses for your current secretary."

Not just Zhou Bai’s secretary, including Secretary Xu; once the group’s integration is complete and on track, there are other projects waiting for them.

The subgroup or branch company, there’s always a place for them.

Secretary Xu understood well and promptly made the contact.

...

Secretary Liu never expected that just after resigning, his diligent nature had already spread through interested parties.

Among them, Hanqi Intelligence, due to the unique style of the Zhou family, acted with especially high efficiency.

With each person in the secretarial department being able to perform the work of several, they made a decision and immediately had an HR person call to probe about salary expectations.

There’s competition, so there’s someone to fill the position. The group is rapidly expanding due to intelligent home systems and charity projects, and people are needed everywhere.

Everyone’s hoping to showcase their abilities!

They’re not afraid to recruit people, just afraid that those recruited won’t be up to standard!

...

Secretary Liu hung up the phone in a daze, feeling like he was still dreaming.

He hadn’t even gotten home yet from the company.

Unable to do otherwise, with a modest salary, his house was bought farther out, resulting in a long commute to work.

Coincidentally stuck in traffic, after an hour of driving, there was still some distance to go.

Staring at the traffic lights ahead, he couldn’t help but feel a bit dazed:

——An annual salary of 3 million, is it for real?

It’s not about underestimating himself; going from 500,000 to 3 million, the pay raise seemed too rapid!

But considering again, with bonuses, he’d already made millions, millions to 3 million...

It’s still too much!

The hardworking nature within couldn’t help but feel nervous.

He had started as an intern at Tianyu right after graduation and stayed for ten years without switching jobs; hearing the offer really unnerved him.

But the other side is from Hanqi Intelligence...
