"Yuqing, go see if Chanying is here. If she is, go to my office with her." After admiring the phoenix flowers, Su Tiantian turned around, walked to the desk, sat down, and dialed the office's intercom.

Qiu Yuqing said, "She's here. Then she and I will come over now."

Su Tiantian said: "Okay."

Chen Chanying and Qiu Yuqing arrived at Su Tiantian's office a few minutes later.

Su Tiantian got straight to the point: "Chanying, which do you prefer, cost accounting or accounts receivable accounting? Didn't you ask me yesterday if I would change positions?"

Chen Chanying said, "Can I choose?"

Su Tiantian said, "If you want, I can talk to Mr. He and Manager Tao. Based on your work experience, you are qualified for both positions."

Chen Chanying seemed to not know what to say.

Su Tiantian continued, "Yuqing, do you want to switch to accounting? Since our cost accountant left last time, we haven't been hiring, so Chanying and I have been sharing some of the work. But let me be clear, you have no experience in cost accounting, so your salary won't be increasing much for now."

Changing from a financial assistant to an accountant is a promotion. While the salary won't increase much for now, it does mean there will still be a pay raise. This was a pleasant surprise for Qiu Yuqing. After all, with experience, it would be easier to find a job in the future. She excitedly asked, "Can I really be promoted to accountant?"

Su Tiantian said, "I asked you to come in because there are vacancies in the Finance Department. You will be given priority. Of course, the specific salary still needs to be discussed in detail. The rest of the Finance Department is not aware of this decision yet."

Chen Chanying said: "Cost accounting and accounts receivable accounting have different responsibilities and different salaries. I am very confused."

Qiu Yuqing said, "I don't understand cost accounting. I heard it's difficult."

Su Tiantian said, "You guys go out and think it over carefully. You must give me a reply this afternoon. If you have any questions, you can ask me privately. Also, don't disclose this matter for the time being, otherwise, you will have no choice."

Chen Chanying and Qiu Yuqing certainly understood what Su Tiantian meant and nodded quickly.

Qiu Yuqing said, "Luo Yiyan from our Finance Department was fired. It was really sudden. If I hadn't told you yesterday, you wouldn't have known about it."

Su Tiantian said, "Mr. He is in charge of the work, and we will just follow his instructions. You guys can go out first, and remember to reply to me as soon as possible."

After the two of them left, Su Tiantian continued to work hard. She knew that the two people would come to her soon. Since it was about work and income, how could she not take it seriously? Before making a decision, she would definitely want to ask about the salary and specific work situation and make a comparison.

She made such arrangements this time to give them opportunities. After all, they are her confidants in the Finance Department.

Sure enough, an hour later...

Chen Chanying: Tiantian, which position pays higher, accounts receivable accountant or cost accountant?

She sent a message to Su Tiantian, addressing her as Tiantian instead of Deputy Director Su. It was an attempt to establish a personal relationship, which was to be expected.

Su Tiantian: In our company, cost accountants earn higher salaries. But you have many years of experience in finance, so you should know the difference between cost accounting and accounts receivable accounting.

Chen Chanying: Cost accounting primarily calculates and analyzes a company's production processes and cost factors, while accounts receivable accounting primarily manages accounts receivable between a company and its customers. One is for internal use, the other for external use. I'm more concerned about compensation.

Su Tiantian: You know that in our company, the rule of salary confidentiality is that you should pay it back. But since I asked you to choose between cost accounting and accounts receivable accounting, I can talk about the salary situation, but you can't tell anyone else.

Chen Chanying said: I know.

Su Tiantian: When I first came here, there were two cost accountants, and their salary was 5,500 yuan a month. This salary is neither high nor low in this small town, right?

Chen Chanying: Yes, it’s neither high nor low, but our company has two days off a week, and we get overtime pay for working overtime on Saturdays, so the treatment is actually quite good.

Su Tiantian: Later, a cost accountant resigned. I was just about to come to work at that time. With the help of Director Kuang, I took over the job. I was thinking of not hiring for the time being. Your work attitude and ability are good, and the workload has increased a little, so I suggested to Mr. He that he increase your salary by 500 yuan.

Chen Chanying: I have always been very grateful to you, because after the probation period, salary increases usually take one year, but I got a salary increase of almost 10% within just a few months of joining the company.

Su Tiantian: Your current salary is 6,000 yuan a month, while the accounts receivable accountant's salary is 5,000 yuan a month, but there is a commission based on the collection rate. Judging from our company's current actual operating conditions, the accounts receivable accountant's workload is less than that of the cost accountant.

Chen Chanying: So if I want to be more comfortable, I should choose accounts receivable accounting. If I want a higher income, I should choose cost accounting?

Su Tiantian: A more comfortable position. I think the cashier position is better, but I can't transfer the cashier away, and the cashier's salary in our company is lower than the accountant's. Accounts receivable accounting seems to be more glamorous than cost accounting on the surface because it involves dealing with customers.

Chen Chanying: Then I will continue to work as a cost accountant. An accounts receivable accountant needs to have good communication and customer relationship management skills, and be familiar with accounts receivable management processes and credit risk control methods. I would rather deal with people within the company than with customers and business departments.

Su Tiantian: Cost accounting requires strong cost calculation and analysis capabilities, familiarity with production processes and cost management methods, and mastery of certain financial analysis and cost control tools. Now that you are familiar with the company's situation, it is indeed easier to do.

Chen Chanying: If we recruit a new cost accountant, or transfer Yuqing to do cost accounting, how much will the salary be?

Su Tiantian: I can't say exactly, but it's definitely lower than yours. Even though you only joined the company a few months earlier than I did, you're already considered a veteran. I'll help you get a bigger raise next year. Do you think Yuqing would be interested in working as a cost accountant?

Chen Chanying: She has two children and may want to spend more time taking care of the family. As a cost accountant, she sometimes needs to work overtime, but it is not necessarily the case. After all, the salary of an accountant is higher than that of a financial assistant. In addition, she has parents-in-law at home to help take care of the children.

Su Tiantian: The reason why I asked you if you wanted to be an accounts receivable accountant was because you said last time that you wanted to have a second child, and I thought you might want a more comfortable job.

Chen Chanying: When I heard that you would hire another cost accountant, I felt less anxious. With one more person, the workload will be less. Even if I get pregnant and need to take leave or rest, there will be someone to take over the work.

Su Tiantian: That’s right, I hope you get pregnant soon.

Chen Chanying: I’m a little curious, when you go on maternity leave, who will take over your job?
