At my ex-boyfriend's engagement banquet, I appeared in full attire. He thought I was there to cause trouble, but I smiled very kindly and said, "We'll all be family from now on, no need...
Chapter 865 Seven-figure annual salary
When talking about children's education, my mother listened very seriously.
"Shuyi and I are not very good at raising children. Unlike the eldest sister, we raised Mengmeng so well that she was able to get into University A. Sigh, if it were my two children, I wouldn't even dare to think about it."
My mother's expression relaxed visibly at my uncle's words. She patted my aunt's hand and soothed her, "Ziting and Ziran are still young. You don't have to worry too much. Your genes aren't that different."
Speaking of her two children, my aunt took the opportunity to say, "Ziting will be going to junior high school in the second half of the year. My colleagues all say that if he can go to City A to take the college entrance examination, his chances of taking it will be several times higher than if he stays in Lincheng.
I thought that City T is very close to City A. If Shuyi could work in City A, then we would move to City A. This would be like him returning to his hometown, and it would also be easier for the children to take the college entrance examination in the future.
"Sister, do you know which middle school in City A has a higher admission rate? Can you find some connections to get Ziting into City A?"
The question was directed to my mother, but my aunt glanced at me.
My mother was a little embarrassed. "I don't really have any connections in City A. If your child transfers to a school in City T, I can help."
I pretended not to understand and concentrated on peeling the shrimp shells. Salt-baked black tiger shrimps are best eaten while hot. They cost more than 100 yuan per pound, so I couldn't waste a single one.
Seeing that I didn't respond, my aunt had to get to the point: "Mengmeng, you've been in City A for so long. Do you know which middle school there is better? If your uncle goes to work in City A, will it be easy for your child to transfer schools?"
Alas, I can’t avoid it even if I concentrate on eating.
I wiped my hands slowly. "There are quite a few key middle schools in City A. It depends on whether you live in the school district. However, you need a local household registration or residence permit to attend school, and..."
I paused deliberately. "The housing prices in City A are too high. If you sell your house, you can easily pay the down payment in City A. However, you still need to have a job first, and then you can get a mortgage..."
My aunt interrupted me immediately: "Oh, the house is a small matter. The main thing is the job opportunities. There are many large companies in City A, and the salary is definitely better than in City T."
She looked at me with sparkling eyes and said, "Your boyfriend has a lot of connections in City A. Can you recommend some good companies for your uncle?"
While they were talking, I gnawed on another crab claw, sucked my fingers, and smiled sweetly: "Aunt, I haven't graduated yet, so I don't know much about this. Besides, my uncle and I have different majors, so different fields are like different worlds."
The smile on my aunt's face froze, obviously she didn't expect me to answer like this.
She bit her lip and suddenly asked, "By the way, what's the name of your boyfriend's company? Maybe your uncle's expertise can be of use to you."
Before I could say anything, my mother answered, "It's the STG Group. They're involved in many industries and are quite large. Now that you mention it, it's really possible."
"STG?!" My aunt exclaimed, and her chopsticks fell onto the table. "Is that the STG you often see on TV?!"
She excitedly grabbed her uncle's arm and said, "Shuyi! STG is a top foreign company! If you can get in, the annual salary will start at at least one million!"
My uncle was a little confused by her and stammered, "But, but my major..."
"What's the big deal about majors?" My aunt's face flushed with excitement. "What kind of positions don't big companies have? Mengmeng, what position does your boyfriend hold at STG? Can you arrange a job for your uncle?"
I put down my chopsticks and calmly interrupted her: "Aunt, STG is indeed very large, but the company also has requirements for recruiting people."
My words made my mother a little unhappy, "Mengmeng, Xiao Xiao is the president, it shouldn't be difficult to arrange a job for him."
I said seriously, "I can ask Qiu to help me look for suitable jobs, and then my uncle will send me a resume."
My aunt's face flushed with excitement. "My nephew's husband is actually the president of STG? That's amazing! Doesn't he have the final say on what jobs are assigned to him?"
Mengmeng, your uncle's job is counting on you.
Our requirements are not high; we just want a management position with a seven-figure annual salary.”
I almost laughed out loud. The request wasn't high at all. "What was your uncle's annual salary before? I want to have a reference."
My uncle looked at me with anticipation. When I asked him, he immediately said honestly, "It used to be 300,000 yuan a year."
My aunt interrupted him, "Don't listen to him. It's more than 300,000. I've calculated it. Add in bonuses, overtime pay, travel allowances, five social insurances and one housing fund, and various holiday benefits. It adds up to 500,000. No, it's almost 600,000!"
I was speechless. If he was making 600,000 yuan a year, why did he let my mother help him pay off the mortgage?
"Aunt, my uncle's income was so high before," I said, eyes widening in surprise. "With such a high income, he didn't have to pay for the mortgage and car loan, so he must have saved a lot of money over the years.
No wonder my uncle said the house in Lincheng wasn't for sale. It turns out I can afford the down payment with my savings. I was worried for nothing."
I laughed so sincerely that my aunt froze for a moment.
My uncle said that the investment failed and he received severance pay from the company. Even if there is still a debt of more than 200,000 yuan, with such a high income before, it is impossible that the family savings do not even have this much.
My mother also spoke up, "Shuyi, you didn't tell your elder sister about your high income before, which made me always worry about your life."
My uncle blushed and glared at my aunt. My aunt smiled and said, "It wasn't that high before, only about 300,000. We just got a raise and then we encountered the company's restructuring.
Big sister, you don't know, things are expensive in Lincheng, the cost of living is very high, even though Shuyi's income is not low, he really can't save much money."
I sighed, looked at my uncle with some sympathy, and agreed, "Yes, my uncle has to give 6,000 yuan to my brother-in-law and 8,000 yuan to my mother-in-law every month, so the remaining money is just over 10,000 yuan. After deducting the cost of maintaining the car, there are only 7,000 or 8,000 yuan left.
Although I don’t have to pay off my mortgage or car loan, I still don’t have enough money to buy clothes, jewelry, and bags.”
I said casually, my eyes pretending to casually glance at the crying bag beside her.
My mother also noticed it at this time. She had the same bag as me, but in a different color.
At that time, my mother felt sorry for my uncle's heavy pressure to repay the mortgage, so she took out her two-year year-end bonus to help him pay off the mortgage.
When I saw my aunt carrying the same bag as her, I knew she must be feeling uncomfortable.
My uncle's face flushed, and he suddenly said, "Lizhen, don't make things difficult for Mengmeng. She's still a child who hasn't graduated yet.
I will figure out the work myself."
