Chapter 112: 105, The President is actually my Brother-in-law! (Seeking monthly votes)
Walking out of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group Headquarters.
Cai Meichen took a deep breath, waited until her emotions had somewhat calmed down, and then took out her mobile phone to call her niece Jiang Yuqi.
"Auntie, what's wrong?"
Jiang Yuqi's voice came through the phone.
"I've just finished an interview with Jiangcheng Newspaper Group..." Cai Meichen said.
"And then?"
Jiang Yuqi felt very strange, her aunt usually wouldn't discuss work matters with her, partly because they were in different fields, and also because Cai Meichen felt that Jiang Yuqi, a young girl like her, couldn't give any useful advice.
So she simply didn't talk about work, but today her aunt surprisingly initiated a call to talk about the interview.
"Who was the repairman you found last night, whose dad is he?" Cai Meichen asked.
"Xixi, what happened?"
"You must take good care of Princess Xixi at the kindergarten!"
"Huh?"
"Auntie, you're acting weird."
Jiang Yuqi on the other end of the phone was a bit confused; her aunt always acted very logically, but now she seemed to be speaking disjointedly.
"What he said is true!"
Cai Meichen blurted out another seemingly random comment.
"Huh?"
"Who has taken over my auntie??"
"Come down!!!"
Her aunt was acting too strangely today, as if possessed by something filthy. She was speaking in Hua Country's language, yet Jiang Yuqi couldn't understand a word, and couldn't help but complain about it on the phone.
"I mean to tell you, Xixi's dad is really the president of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group!"
"It was him who was interviewing me just now!"
Cai Meichen revealed the mystery.
"Eh???"
"Brother Yang is the president of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group???"
Jiang Yuqi was stunned.
She couldn't help but think back to the scene from last night; the man had voluntarily revealed that he was the president of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group.
Then, both of them hadn't believed it, and her aunt even claimed she was the president's wife!
"What Brother Yang, that's Mr. Yang!"
Cai Meichen corrected her niece about Yang Hao's title, then emphasized, "I've just finished checking Jiangcheng Newspaper Group's share structure, Mr. Yang owns 28% of the shares, making him the biggest shareholder after the government of Jiangcheng City!"
"Based on Jiangcheng Newspaper Group's market value of 500 million, his worth is nearly 150 million, a genuine billionaire!!"
"Ah?"
"Xixi's dad is a billionaire!!"
Jiang Yuqi was completely shocked; she'd never dreamed that there was a little tycoon like Xixi in her class.
Now she understood why her aunt had told her to take good care of Xixi.
The girl's father was a billionaire and the president of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group.
In other words, the little foodie in Jiang Yuqi's eyes was actually the president's daughter, the little princess of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group!!
"So, take good care of her!"
Cai Meichen instructed, then hung up the phone.
Inside Belle Kindergarten.
Jiang Yuqi was in the hallway when she took the call, and after hearing the dial tone, she pocketed her mobile phone and returned to the classroom.
"Mrs. Qiqi, Peng Haoxuan took my eraser!"
Xixi came running up with a pout.
What!!!
The little fatty dared to snatch Princess Xixi's eraser!!
Jiang Yuqi immediately looked at the little fatty Peng Haoxuan: "Give the eraser back to Xixi."
"Oh..."
Peng Haoxuan obediently returned the eraser.
"Don't take things from Xixi in the future!"
Jiang Yuqi also took the opportunity to instruct and then pointed to a spot far away from Xixi: "Peng Haoxuan, go sit over there."
Peng Haoxuan was the naughtiest in the class.
So Jiang Yuqi decided to move this little fatty's seat farther away from Xixi, to prevent any unintended harm to the president's precious daughter!!
Jiangcheng Newspaper Group.
The interviews were still ongoing, but the process had noticeably sped up. Wei Zhengyi and Wang Zhen both knew very well that Mr. Yang was fond of Cai Meichen, who stood out among the interviewees with her looks and figure.
This aligned with his approach to forming the president's office.
The president's office already had three golden flowers, and with Cai Meichen, it would be four!
During the interview, Wang Zhen received a Weixin message. He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but a cursory glance revealed that the message was from Li Manni.
She was asking Wang Zhen if he could recommend someone to work at the New Media Operations Center.
Taking advantage of a break after an interviewee finished, Wang Zhen quickly reported this matter to Yang Hao.
"That's certainly no problem, tell her to bring the person to headquarters to go through the hiring procedures."
"After that's done, have them come to my office..."
Yang Hao immediately thought of whom his sister-in-law wished to recommend.
If all went as expected, it would naturally be Xu Wenqian, who was in new media editing.
By noon, the interviews had ended.
"Who do you think is suitable?"
Yang Hao asked for the opinions of Wei Zhengyi and Wang Zhen.
"Mr. Yang, I think that Cai Meichen is not bad, the most well-rounded among all the interviewees!" Wei Zhengyi said right away.
"Mr. Yang, I agree with Mr. Wei, Cai Meichen has strong business capabilities, and I believe she will be a good assistant!" Wang Zhen quickly seconded.
"Alright, then I'll listen to you."
"Have her complete the onboarding process as soon as possible!"
After speaking, Yang Hao stood up and left the meeting room.
"This counts as listening to us??"
Wei Zhengyi and Wang Zhen exchanged looks, both somewhat speechless.
Banana Media.
This was a small company with only about a dozen employees.
Xu Wenqian sat in front of her computer editing videos when a Weixin notification popped up from her best friend Li Manni, telling her to come with her to Jiangcheng Newspaper Group to handle the hiring paperwork.
Ah!
It's settled!!!
Xu Wenqian was overjoyed.
Where she worked now, this small workshop offered a low salary, a hefty workload, and frequent overtime. She had long wanted to change jobs.
Just yesterday, she had mentioned joining the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group's New Media Operation Center to Li Manni, and to her surprise, it had really worked out.
"We have a lot of work today."
"Everyone will need to work overtime tonight!"
Just as Xu Wenqian was preparing to go find her boss to resign, he happened to arrive at the office area.
Upon hearing that they would have to work overtime again, everyone had an expression of utter despair, but no one said anything. After all, speaking up was useless and would only displease the boss.
The current job market was tight, and working overtime was better than being unemployed.
Bang!
While everyone was accustomed to staying silent, the sound of a chair hitting a wall suddenly drew everyone's attention.
The boss, who was about to leave, paused in his steps and looked in the direction of the noise, then saw Xu Wenqian standing up from her workstation. She had intentionally kicked her chair backward to make the loud noise.
"Xu Wenqian, what are you doing???"
The boss felt his authority was being challenged.
"I quit!!"
Xu Wenqian said confidently.
As soon as she spoke, all her colleagues turned their gaze towards her.
In their eyes was first a bit of shock, which then turned into envy.
Facing unreasonable demands for overtime, they also longed to say "I quit!"
Unfortunately, they didn't have the courage.
But now, Xu Wenqian was doing what they didn't dare to!
The boss was initially stunned, then said coldly, "You can quit, but you didn't apply in advance, so you won't get paid for the half-month."
"Don't want it!"
"I'm not serving here anymore!!"
Xu Wenqian collected her things and left with her backpack held high.
It was only after she had left the company that the boss came back to his senses, his face turning green...
Meanwhile, the other employees who didn't have the guts to act as boldly as Xu Wenqian were secretly thrilled.
The unscrupulous boss who always exploited them finally faced a setback!
And Xu Wenqian, having left the office building, was still in a state of excitement!
She felt she was incredibly cool!
She was practically the protagonist of a wish-fulfillment story!
However, after calming down a bit, she felt a pang of regret for the half-month's salary she had lost.
But there was nothing she could do about it. Although the boss pressured them, these hardworking employees, every day, resigning indeed required advance application, and she wasn't in the right there.
Hopefully, Jiangcheng Newspaper Group would offer a higher salary!
Xu Wenqian prayed silently in her heart.
An hour later.
Xu Wenqian and her best friend Li Manni met up at the entrance of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group Headquarters.
"Manni, you have no idea how awesome I felt just now!"
"The unscrupulous boss's face turned green..."
As soon as they met, Xu Wenqian started to recount her heroic deed.
"So, you lost half a month's salary." Li Manni stated bluntly.
"Ah?"
"Can you not hit where it hurts?!" Xu Wenqian made a disconsolate face. "I'll have to cut back and scrimping next month!"
The two talked as they walked into the office building. Li Manni casually glanced around and spotted an acquaintance.
Chang Ruihua, who had been transferred to the headquarters security department, was standing in his security uniform on duty in the lobby.
You have to say, with his age and appearance, he really looked the part in the uniform.
Chang Ruihua also saw Li Manni, and he subconsciously averted his gaze, now full of regret!
After being reassigned yesterday, he sought out his backer in the group headquarters, Vice President Liu Sen, in charge of marketing, only to find out that his demotion was a direct order from the new president, and no one could save him.
Chang Ruihua, unable to get even a penny of compensation, had no choice but to report to the headquarters' security department.
The head of the security department at headquarters knew he was dealt with by the new president, and naturally didn't offer him a warm welcome. Although Chang held the title of deputy director, he still got assigned to guard duty.
Seeing Chang Ruihua in his dejected state, Li Manni felt a satisfying sense of vengeance. Although she was kindhearted, she was no saint.
That old man tried to use the little power he had to coerce her, just the thought made her sick!
So when she saw Chang Ruihua, all Li Manni could think was that he got what he deserved and was not worthy of sympathy!
The two took the elevator to the human resources department.
Upon hearing that Li Manni was bringing someone, Wang Zhen enthusiastically led them to the reception room.
"Ms. Xu, let me briefly explain the benefits of your position," he said.
"The job grade is T3, with a monthly salary of 8K, fifteen salaries a year, and a separate performance bonus..."
Normally, interns at Jiangcheng Newspaper Group were graded T1, and regular employees were T2.
Xu Wenqian's position as a new media center operations editor didn't have an internship phase; it was directly a T2 role normally, but she came recommended by Li Manni.
Wang Zhen granted her a favor to Manni by giving Xu a T3 grade.
And Xu Wenqian was overjoyed. Her previous salary was only four thousand, so this was a direct doubling, plus fifteen salaries a year!
For her, it was like living in a dream.
"The two of you, our president wants to see you."
"The president's office is on the eighth floor; you can go straight up," Wang Zhen told them after they signed the contract.
"The president wants to see us??"
The two exchanged glances, both somewhat bewildered.
They were still unaware that Yang Hao was the president.
The previous day, Li Manni had sent Yang Hao a message to ask if he was the one who helped, and although he admitted to helping, he didn't mention that he was the president of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group.
Therefore, upon hearing that the president wanted to see them, they naturally felt a bit nervous.
"Why does the president want to see us?"
"Manni, he doesn't have any designs on you, does he?" Xu Wenqian muttered softly while waiting for the elevator.
"I have never met him; how could that be possible." Li Manni shook her head, but she felt uneasy in her heart, uncertain of what the president intended.
Soon, the two took the elevator to the eighth floor.
Wow, beauties!
Three of them!
Upon seeing the three ladies in the president's office, Xu Wenqian couldn't help but marvel internally.
"Director Li, right?"
"Please follow me~!"
Xu Yali had already received notice from Yang Hao that the new media operations center's Director Li was coming.
However, she didn't expect Director Li to be so beautiful, on a par with Sun Xinyi and Wang Bingru, or perhaps even surpassing them.
Li Manni and Xu Wenqian were led into the president's office, still confused.
Then, the two of them saw a familiar silhouette.
At the moment, Yang Hao was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the scenery outside. Hearing the door open, he turned around with a smile on his face.
Then, Li Manni and Xu Wenqian both exclaimed simultaneously:
"Brother-in-law!"
"Yang!"
Shock colored both of their pretty faces.
Li Manni especially found it unbelievable; she never dreamt that the president of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group would turn out to be her brother-in-law!!
