The two emerged from a bank near the hotel, their paycheck envelopes overflowing.
Jiang Xia glanced at the company's account balance, which totaled 2.86 million yuan. In his previous life, he probably would never have dreamed that he could earn so much money in just a few months.
"Now, shouldn't we set a small goal for ourselves?" he said with a smile.
"It's still a long way off."
Lin Yanwan rolled her eyes at him. At her current rate of earning money, it would take at least several years to achieve a small goal of 100 million.
However, money just keeps multiplying, and once production capacity increases, the speed at which you can make money will probably increase several times over.
"Then let's set the goal a little smaller. Let's earn ten million by the end of this year!"
Jiang Xia casually finished speaking, and the passersby around him looked at him as if he were an idiot.
What an arrogant brat! Do you think ten million is so easy to earn? Young people shouldn't be so unrealistic; they should be down-to-earth. After all, what pretty girl likes a guy who talks big?
Then the very pretty girl said in a very agreeable tone, "Although there are only a few months left in the year, you can still do it if you work hard. I believe in you."
Upon hearing this, passersby were stunned. Are girls these days so easily fooled?
Don't believe everything that guy says just because he's handsome!
Jiang Xia chuckled. For the time being, the only thing that could bring him huge profits was the second season of Tom and Jerry. Once he arrived in the capital, the company's location selection and the restructuring of the studio would require a lot of money.
As for the release of the third season, it will probably have to wait until the end of the year, so achieving that small goal of ten million is not so easy.
The two chatted and laughed all the way, and soon arrived at the Maple Hotel. Jiang Xia sent the location of the private room in the group chat and ordered a lot of signature dishes. Today was both a celebration banquet and a farewell banquet, so they ate to their hearts' content.
Around 5:30, Wang Ming and Shen Ying arrived almost one after the other, only a few minutes apart.
"They're all on time," Jiang Xia said with a smile.
"That's right, if you're not enthusiastic about eating, there's something wrong with your thinking." Shen Ying chuckled, looking at the delicious dishes laid out in front of her, and subconsciously swallowed.
"That's right, so I won't waste any more time on small talk, let's get straight to the point."
"Yay! Let's eat, let's eat!" Shen Ying said, tapping her chopsticks.
Lin Yanwan looked at her best friend helplessly. Did she think that she was only invited over today for a meal?
"Yingying, there are other more important things than eating."
"Huh?" Shen Ying blinked, not reacting for a moment.
Jiang Xia couldn't help but laugh and said, "Everyone has worked hard these past two months, and the success of Tom and Jerry today is largely due to your contributions. So, the first piece of good news is that I congratulate you both on successfully passing the probation period and becoming permanent employees."
Lin Yanwan led the applause, and even Wang Ming showed a happy smile.
But Shen Ying was still stunned, hardly believing her ears: "I got a permanent position?"
"Yes, congratulations, Yingying! From now on, you are a full-time employee of Qitian Animation Company!" Lin Yanwan said with a smile.
"Waaah..."
Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but hug her best friend. Since she had been promoted to a permanent position, it meant that the boss recognized her abilities, and she no longer had to worry about being fired one day.
"Okay, okay, don't cry. We can all see your efforts." Lin Yanwan gently patted her back.
"I wasn't crying, I was just so happy!"
Shen Ying wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Only she knew how much pressure it was to work with such a group of capable people. If she didn't want to hold her friends back, she had to study hard and strive to improve herself.
"Keep up the good work! See that Operations Director position? It'll be yours sooner or later!"
"Yes, yes! It'll be mine sooner or later!"
Shen Ying nodded emphatically.
“I haven’t had much time to handle official business. Shen Ying has been helping with almost everything, big and small. Although she was clumsy and seemed like a newbie at first, she has grown very quickly and is now very organized. She deserves praise,” Jiang Xia said with a smile.
Praised by her boss, Shen Ying blushed with embarrassment: "Boss, it's all I should do."
The others couldn't help but chuckle.
"And what's the second piece of good news?" Wang Ming asked.
"Since the expected task has been completed ahead of schedule, it's time to pay the salary that's been delayed for a month." Jiang Xia said with a smile, and Lin Yanwan tacitly took two bulging envelopes out of her bag and placed them on the table.
Shen Ying's eyes were shining.
Wang Ming joked, "Old Jiang, that's not fair of you. When will it be good news to get paid on time?!"
"What if I told you that this was paid according to your post-probation salary standard? And it also includes overtime pay for the past two months."
Jiang Xia smiled and handed over the two envelopes: "Don't open them yet, count the money slowly when you get home."
Clutching the thick envelope, Shen Ying was so excited her heart almost jumped out of her throat. If the face value was in units of hundreds of yuan, this thick envelope must contain several thousand yuan.
Considering she's just a high school graduate, yet she earns so much money, she's already doing just as well as adults who have been working for several years.
Moreover, this is just the beginning. As the company develops and prospers, she, as a company veteran, will only earn more. Perhaps in the future, her monthly salary will be equivalent to someone else's annual salary.
"Old Jiang, just tell me straight, when does Tom and Jerry season 3 start? I can't wait and I'm ready to stay up all night," Wang Ming said earnestly, accepting the envelope.
In short, this boss is easy to get along with.
There are rewards, and he really does give them out.
"No rush, everyone take a few days off first." Jiang Xia chuckled. "This little bit of money is just a small amount. Work hard in the future, and you two will be earning an annual salary from me."
With just a few words, he painted an even bigger picture.
Wang Ming and Shen Ying exchanged a glance, both seeing the excitement in each other's eyes. At eighteen, an age brimming with boundless energy, money was the best motivation.
"Boss, is there a third piece of good news?" Shen Ying asked again.
"That's all, that's all. There's no such thing as good news." Jiang Xia laughed and scolded.
"So, we can finally start eating? Boss, I haven't had lunch yet, I'm starving." Shen Ying said longingly, looking at the dishes in front of her.
"Don't rush, there's still one person who hasn't arrived yet, but they should be here soon," Jiang Xia said.
Wang Ming was slightly taken aback: "Who else?"
"You two will find out soon enough," Jiang Xia said, keeping everyone in suspense.
As soon as he finished speaking, his phone beeped. He glanced at the screen and a smile spread across his face.
"She's here. Please have a seat. I'll go greet her."
