Lu Shengnan even had an impulse to rush to Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, grab Tang Wen by the collar, and ask her if she had gone crazy. She then took her back to Shengli Supermarket and made her her right-hand woman.
However, this thought came and went quickly, disappearing without a trace in a moment. If he were still at the Qiansheng Group headquarters, it would be fine, but now that he's at Shengli Supermarket, he's in a position of nominal promotion but demotion in reality, barely able to protect himself. In this situation, wouldn't recruiting Tang Wen be harming her?
But in order to confirm whether the person Xu An mentioned was Tang Wen, she made a rather presumptuous request to Xu An: "Mr. Xu, could you please take a picture of Tang Wen for me to confirm? Without a picture, I can't guarantee whether they are the same person."
"I need to ask Miss Tang's opinion." Xu An did not agree rashly, but turned around and went back into the store. After asking Tang Wen's opinion, he took a front-facing photo and sent it to Lu Shengnan. In front of Tang Wen, he deleted the photo from the album and emptied the trash can.
Less than ten seconds after the photo was sent, Xu An received a reply from Lu Shengnan—yes, this is indeed Tang Wen.
After confirming with Lu Shengnan that Tang Wen was indeed a former employee of Qiansheng Group and that she was the main planner of the projects in her resume, Xu An had no more concerns and directly discussed salary and benefits with Tang Wen.
Although Qiansheng Group is a large company, its salaries are only slightly above average. Tang Wen's internship salary was 1,200 yuan a month, and after graduation, her salary was 2,000 yuan a month. Before leaving the company, her salary was 4,200 yuan a month. However, Tang Wen's position didn't rely on a base salary; it depended on bonuses. Simply put, the better the event's performance, the higher the bonus, and the more money she received. Last month, Tang Wen's take-home pay was 13,000 yuan, of which more than 8,000 yuan was bonuses.
Xu An could afford a salary of 10,000, but it disrupted the salary balance of the store's employees. Everyone else was paid a normal wage; how could anyone be happy about a new employee suddenly joining with a salary two or even three times higher?
So, a bonus standard still needs to be set, but even with bonuses, Xu's Fast Food Restaurant can't possibly offer a salary of 10,000 yuan at this stage. The reason is simple: Xu's Fast Food Restaurant is just a fast food restaurant with a small reputation among office workers, and it can't compare to a behemoth like Qiansheng Group. The same activity will have vastly different effects depending on whether it's done in a listed company or a small street shop.
Xu An wasn't sure if Tang Wen had considered this when she impulsively quit her job to join their fast food restaurant, but he still reminded her of the issue. To his surprise, Tang Wen nodded without hesitation.
"I thought it through before I left. Given the size of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, the salary they can offer is definitely not high." Tang Wen suddenly placed her hands on the table, leaned over and stared intently at Xu An, lightly tapping the folder on the table with her finger, and said with unwavering determination, "For me, the salary is not important. What's important is, boss, can you let me carry out the publicity plan according to my ideas?"
Just as Xu An and Tang Wen were staring at each other, an electric tricycle stopped in front of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant. Two burly men got out of the vehicle, walked straight into the restaurant, and shouted, "Is the boss here? We're here to install shelves."
"Yes." Xu An led Tang Wen to the second store. After walking through the first floor, which was filled with all sorts of odds and ends, they went up to the empty second floor. Xu An looked at Tang Wen and gave her a standard smile: "Ms. Tang, the store does not have a formal office yet. For the next period of time, you will have to work here temporarily."
"Isn't this the office?" Tang Wen asked, puzzled.
"This is the store's warehouse. Now, let the workers set up the plumbing and electrical shelving and move some out of the office area," Xu An continued with a smile.
Tang Wen glanced around the office, her gaze involuntarily falling on the two folders Xu An was holding. The contract hadn't been signed yet; he could just grab the folders and leave. Should he leave?
"Boss An, someone's looking for you!" Xu Heping's voice suddenly rang out downstairs, followed by three thumps of footsteps coming up the stairs. Xu An turned around and looked past Xu Heping to see the two people walking behind him: Wang Fulong and Lu Ziyue.
“Mr. Xu, let’s talk about the onboarding process in detail, such as job duties, salary and benefits, and so on.” Wang Fulong’s gaze met Tang Wen’s, and their minds instantly connected, with the same thought arising in their minds—this person is also here to join the company!
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Xu An activated his 'interruption' skill, breaking their silent exchange. He smiled and introduced the two men and their upcoming positions at Xu's Fast Food Restaurant. Finally, pointing to the small open space of about ten square meters deliberately left by the window, he said apologetically, "A small cubicle will be partitioned off here; this will be your temporary office. We're currently looking for a new location, and within half a month to two or three months, we'll definitely provide you with a spacious, bright, and quiet office space."
The skill of 'drawing big promises' is activated.
The "pie in the sky" skill is locking onto its target.
The "pie in the sky" skill takes effect, and the target's attitude changes.
Under Xu An's constant daunting promises, the two reluctantly placed a sliver of trust in him, believing his endless lies. Things proceeded smoothly afterward. Xu An discussed the scope of work and salary with each of the three in detail. Once an agreement was reached, a contract was printed, signed, fingerprinted, and stamped with the company seal; the contract was then finalized.
Because the office area is still under construction and the office equipment hasn't been installed yet, the start time is set for 8:00 AM tomorrow. Why tomorrow? Xu An is afraid that if they have too much free time, they might run away!
As they left, the three walked silently to the Zijing Road bus stop. Their eyes met, and each of them saw a hint of regret in the other's eyes.
Impulsiveness is the devil!
