Chapter 177: Poaching is what I want...
Chapter 177
Seeing that she was interested, Lin Mujin continued to encourage her, "When I return to Hong Kong, I'll register an interior design company and apply for a work visa for you. You can go to Hong Kong and the child can go with you. I'll take you to a major hospital in Hong Kong for an examination. If surgery is possible, it will be done immediately. The child's illness cannot be delayed. I can also advance you the surgery fee. Would you like to consider it? However, the work contract is quite long, and you won't be able to come back often. Where is your family?"
Weng Nuan covered her eyes with her hands and was crying.
After a while, she wiped her face and said, "Ms. Lin, I agree. Actually, my husband... must be having an affair. He doesn't want to acknowledge Yuanyuan and thinks she is a stain. I will divorce him."
Lin Mujin hadn't considered asking her to divorce. As the old saying goes, it's better to demolish a temple than to break up a marriage. "Marriage is a serious matter. You need to consider it carefully. If he knew you could earn a high salary and perform surgery on Yuanyuan, perhaps he wouldn't..."
She didn't want to talk about it anymore, she felt it was disgusting.
Weng Nuan shook her head. "He won't do that. He wants to save face. He wouldn't be able to handle it if I earned more."
Lin Mujin didn't want to persuade him at all. "I have to go to Yibin, Sichuan, to see the bamboo furniture and bamboo weaving. After I get back from Sichuan, I will go back to Hong Kong..."
Weng Nuan frowned. "I don't recommend choosing right now. Without specific data, the furniture you buy may not be suitable."
Lin Mujin listened to the advice and asked, "What do you mean?"
Weng Nuan said, "It would be best if I could go to the site and take measurements again, then finalize the drawings. That way, I'll have an idea of what kind of furniture to buy and what size it should be."
Lin Mujin asked, "Is the data we provided not accurate enough?"
Weng Nuan shook her head, "Not enough."
Lin Mujin pondered for a moment. "Okay, then I'll apply for a work visa for you as soon as I get back to Hong Kong. You should also prepare yourself. Don't quit your job right away. You can talk to me once I've confirmed it."
You have to know that she also has to apply, it's not foolproof, and we can't leave her with no way out.
"How can I contact you?"
Weng Nuan wrote down a phone number and said, "This is the public phone in the department office. Someone please call for help."
Lin Mujin put it directly into her backpack. "Is there anything else you need my help with? I'll talk to Dean Pei about the bonus this afternoon. It will definitely be yours."
Weng Nuan asked embarrassedly, "Then...can I ask about the salary and benefits? My parents will definitely ask when I get home."
Lin Mujin was also a little embarrassed that such an important thing had not been mentioned. "Your benefits include food and accommodation, a basic salary of 1,500 yuan, and bonuses are calculated separately. If you take on projects and the company makes money, we will pay you a salary proportional to your work. The more you work, the more you earn. Even if you work for me, you will get a bonus."
Weng Nuan smiled and said, "It's already a lot."
After saying that, she stood up and bowed to Lin Mujin.
Lin Mujin quickly pulled the man back. "No, we don't need to do this. I still rely on you to help me make money in the future. Your task is not easy. Although your professional ability is not bad, you can't speak Cantonese, and you are not familiar with the local building materials situation in Hong Kong, so you may be very tired. Besides, there are children..."
It's really hard for women, especially mothers who have to work and raise children at the same time.
Weng Nuan clenched her fists. "I'm not afraid of being tired. I've done farm work in the countryside before. As for Yuanyuan, I'll send her back after the surgery is successful. My mom can help take care of her. When she's old enough to go to school, I'll bring her to Hong Kong to study."
Lin Mujin quickly said, "You should work harder and take the child over as soon as possible. The sooner he learns the new language, the easier it will be."
Afterwards, the two talked about some customs and habits of Hong Kong.
Until the leaders come to work.
Lin Mujin took Weng Nuan to Dean Pei's office.
"Dean Pei, Tsinghua University is worthy of being a top university in the country. It produces talented people. I was really amazed when I saw this design drawing." Lin Mujin flattered him.
Dean Pei was flattered and smiled, and also praised Weng Nuan a few words.
Lin Mujin asked again, "Are you going to give the prize money directly to Teacher Weng, or are you going to hold an award ceremony?"
Teacher Weng is embarrassed to ask this question, but she can help.
She will be my employee in the future, and I can’t let her suffer any loss.
Dean Pei thought for a moment and said, "There's no need for an award ceremony. Just post a notice and give her the prize money now."
He took out a key, opened a drawer, and took out an envelope. "This is the bonus that Miss Lin asked us to keep."
Lin Mujin smiled and asked, "Let me present the award?"
Then of course she is the one who should take the lead.
But she was also sensible. She didn't take it out to check the amount, but directly took it and handed it to Weng Nuan.
"I am very grateful for Mr. Weng's design. I like it very much. I also wish Mr. Weng to continue to shine in the field of architectural design!"
Weng Nuan took the envelope and said, "I will. Thank you, Miss Lin, for giving me the opportunity."
Lin Mujin felt that she was speaking with a double entendre, and Dean Pei was the only one in the room who was kept in the dark.
He doesn't even know that he's been poached.
"Dean Pei, I won't bother you anymore."
Now that the money has been distributed, it’s natural to withdraw. “I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future.”
It's just a polite remark. She already has a personal designer.
Hahaha…
After shaking hands with Dean Pei and saying goodbye, Weng Nuan also followed him out.
Lin Mujin whispered, "Hurry up and count the money. If there's any shortfall, I'll make it up to you."
Weng Nuan shook her head, "It won't be bad."
Even if it's not good, it's okay. My daughter's surgery fee doesn't depend on this money.
Lin Mujin didn't force it, and just said, "Goodbye, Teacher Weng. Wait for my call. I will call you no matter whether the application is approved or not."
They went to call their cousin Lin, and the two left Tsinghua University.
"Brother, we have the rough draft of the design, but we need Teacher Weng to conduct on-site measurements to finalize it. The furniture, too, needs to be measured and have specific data before it can be custom-made. So, there's no need to go to Sichuan for now." Lin Mujin looked at her cousin, "Call Qin Zheng later, and we'll buy plane tickets to fly back to Hong Kong from Guangzhou tomorrow."
Cousin Lin didn't know much about renovations, but he had the same idea as Lin Mujin, so he listened to the experts and said, "Okay."
——————
"Ah Zheng, we bought tickets back to Guangzhou for tomorrow morning and won't be going to Sichuan." Lin Mujin repeated the reason. "We will still go to Sichuan, but it won't just be me and my brother. We'll bring professionals with us. Can you tell I'm happy? Hehe... I've dug up a lot of people, that's really awesome! Ms. Weng Nuan will work for me from now on. Should I lend her to you? I've already arranged her first job, which is decorating Jinshi. This job is a model, and it must be done well so that the design company can be a hit. By then, Jinshi's business will be booming, and the design company will be making a lot of money. That's what we call double happiness!"
