Chapter 50: The couple both get promoted and receive a raise
"Does everyone agree?"
This time, significantly fewer people echoed the sentiment.
Several of the sales staff, who were not very enthusiastic to begin with, had already started backing away.
The remaining people also looked rather grim, with some even muttering under their breath, "Are you crazy? How dare you put this on someone now? Do you even want to work in the department store anymore?"
Director Wang's face also looked very sour.
What was this person's name again? Wang Qinzhi, right? Did he remember it?
"If I remember correctly, when Jiang Xixi was on a business trip, her work had already been clearly assigned to some people. When I asked her about it at the time, you didn't have such big complaints. What are you doing now? Do you think the money isn't enough, or are you dissatisfied with me and just want to cause trouble?"
"The people who came to my office begging me not to hire temporary workers and demanding that those who assigned the work to them step forward!" Director Wang's tone was cold and serious.
After waiting for a while, two people finally stepped forward.
"Director, we wanted to explain, but Sister Wang didn't give us a chance. We had no choice. Director, please be magnanimous and let us off the hook!"
The two looked embarrassed and pitiful.
Director Wang glanced at the two of them. Even though he was already in the director's seat, he still had good eyesight and could tell what they were thinking with just a glance.
"If you want an explanation, then I will explain it to you. Jiang Xixi's business trip was for our department store, not for enjoying herself as you say. As for the two substitutes, our finance department paid them salaries. There was no such thing as working for free as you claim."
Regarding Jiang Xixi's frequent business trips, a detailed explanation will be provided at the notice board on the second floor tomorrow. You can check it out then.
Then, changing the subject, he stared directly at Wang Qinzhi.
After hearing the explanation, Wang Qinzhi stared at the two substitutes in disbelief.
When I asked them, they didn't say that.
Good heavens, thinking about what she had just said, Wang Qinzhi wished she could slap herself.
You spoke recklessly without understanding the situation, and now you've really offended your boss.
Thinking of what happened to her neighbors a few days ago after they were reported, Wang Qinzhi turned pale.
"Sister Wang, I can roughly guess what you want to say. No need to say anything more. I will report what you just said to the higher-ups. Since you doubt my work ability so much, you must also have a lot of dissatisfaction with the work of our department store. In the future, I will definitely make sure that the leaders give you a satisfactory answer!"
If word gets out that he's a classist and a feudal remnant, not only will he be unable to hold onto his position as director, but his entire family might also be implicated.
For a moment, Director Wang's eyes were filled with cold light as he looked at Wang Qinzhi.
"Director Wang, that's not what I meant." Wang Qinzhi tried to explain, but Director Wang ignored her completely and simply gestured for her to leave.
She was still unwilling to give up and tried to say something, but was immediately carried out by the sales clerks she had brought with her.
What a joke! He just thoroughly offended the director, and now it's time to redeem himself. Sometimes, they're actually quite perceptive.
Director Wang, who remained in the office, was sitting in his chair, and his chest was clearly heaving with anger.
It took Director Wang quite some time to calm down completely.
After calming down, I was able to think things through.
To be honest, Jiang Xixi's position is not commensurate with her abilities, and her current benefits and salary are too unfair to her.
Thinking of what his boss had said to him this morning, Director Wang smiled.
We must never let capable people suffer. Promotions and raises are all essential for Jiang Xixi.
...
"During her tenure, Comrade Jiang Xixi brought considerable revenue to our department store. After unanimous agreement among the senior management of the department, it was decided to promote Comrade Jiang Xixi to the position of Director of the Sales and Purchasing Department."
The silence that followed the announcement was a fitting moment for Cambridge tonight.
After the calm comes extreme excitement.
"Holy crap, Jiang Xixi actually became a director? She's only been here for a short time, less than two months?"
"Forget it, it has nothing to do with us. Anyway, it's impossible for me to become the director. Now that Jiang Xixi is the leader, at least she used to be our colleague. Maybe she can make things easier for us in the future. There are a lot of things that can be done in the purchasing and sales department."
Other colleagues might feel resentful or indifferent, but Sister Wang, who considers herself Jiang Xixi's mortal enemy, was devastated by the news.
Oh no, it's all over. Not only have I offended my boss, but I'm also going to lose my job.
The thought of the dark days she was about to experience—taking care of her grandson for free, acting as her husband's punching bag, and being verbally abused and disliked by her daughter-in-law—almost made her collapse.
Good heavens, why is God so cruel to himself?
...
"Chen Wenli, you come here right now." Jiang Yurou's words sounded like she wanted to bite her back teeth off.
"Isn't it tempting to bite it off? Anyone who sees their husband flirting with another woman in public would lose their temper."
"What?" Chen Wenli was very impatient. He had just managed to coax Xia Zhiqing and was about to invite her to go shopping in the city when Jiang Yurou interrupted him.
"You better watch yourself! The whole village is watching you. You two may be shameless, but I have my pride too!"
Jiang Yurou lowered her voice, her tone full of dissatisfaction.
"I know, I'm being careful. I know my limits." Chen Wenli was incredibly impatient. Jiang Yurou wanted to say something, but he ran off to Xia Wanli.
This infuriated Jiang Yurou, but she dared not say anything. Her family already had a bad reputation in the village, and the village chief had publicly and privately called them out several times.
If this continues, they will truly have nowhere to go.
Thinking about her current situation, Jiang Yurou felt extremely regretful.
If I had known, I wouldn't have married Chen Wenli yet. At worst, I could have kept him hanging on after Jiang Xixi got married. That way, I wouldn't have to suffer, and I could still leave an impression on him.
Once Chen Wenli becomes successful, I can use some tricks to get the life of a rich wife, right?
Now, he has neither a good life nor the ability to win Chen Wenli's heart.
Since that slap, she has apologized several times, but Chen Wenli is incredibly vengeful. Even after all this time, he still ignores her.
Jiang Yurou grew angrier the more she thought about it, and her movements became increasingly violent. Suddenly, she heard a scream.
That voice sounds familiar!
Before Jiang Yurou could recognize the voice, a panicked voice came first.
"Wenli, don't scare your mother like that. How could you be so unlucky? How could you get bitten by a poisonous snake while going to work?"
Chen's mother lay on Chen Wenli's body, crying her heart out.
