Chapter 179 - They treated her as if... as if she was their boss (1)
Interviewing at this kind of unicorn company with such good conditions and treatment, Ruan Xia was eager to find someone to share this news with after getting into her car. The person she chose was Song Tingshen.
She didn't know if Song Tingshen was busy right now, so she tentatively sent him another WeChat message: Is it convenient for you to answer your phone?"
After this past period of getting along, Ruan Xia had gotten closer to Song Tingshen. She was usually busy improving her spoken English and learning baking. When she had free time available, she had to spend it with Little Wang. She didn't have time to make friends, so when she encountered something good, the only person she could think of to share the good news was Song Tingshen.
The phone that Song Tingshen had placed on his desk vibrated for the second time. He tapped the phone to look and saw that it was a message from Ruan Xia. After thinking it over, he called her.
His call was quickly answered, and he heard Ruan Xia's excited voice. "Song Tingshen! I passed my interview! It went super well today. I think I was the only one they interviewed!"
Song Tingshen glanced at the time. Indeed, she should have just finished her interview according to the regular process. He smiled and sincerely said, "Congratulations."
He liked this lively Ruan Xia. That being said, he could sense that she had changed a lot during this period. Fortunately, the direction she was developing and changing was a good one.
Occasionally, Song Tingshen couldn't help wondering if their relationship would have become different a lot earlier if she had been like this when they first got married.
Ruan Xia awkwardly laughed. "Let me tell you, this company has exceptionally good conditions and treatment. I told you yesterday that this company is close to home and I can set my own hours... My interview was with the HR Manager and she told me the salary. Guess what my salary is. You definitely won't be able to guess it!"
Song Tingshen thought it over. Regardless of the size of the company, positions in the oversea department usually paid well. However, Ruan Xia was only interviewing for an office worker position and not a sales position. Even if the salary for this position was higher than the average office worker's salary, the company shouldn't go as far as to offer a high starting salary. He answered, "The salary for this type of position should be around 5 to 6 thousand yuan a month."
"Wrong!" Ruan Xia loudly laughed. "You have to double it. The salary is 10,000 yuan during the probationary period. After the trial period, they'll increase it by 1 to 2 thousand yuan."
Ruan Xia wanted to laugh as soon as the salary was mentioned. She felt like she was taking a huge advantage.
In contrast, Song Tingshen froze in surprise when he heard that. "That high?"
"Yeah! There are bonuses every month too. The HR Manager said the monthly bonus varies. At minimum, it's about 5,000 yuan. Plus, with various subsidies, I can get about 20,000 yuan a month!"
Ruan Xia was very excited, but Song Tingshen was calm.
Although he didn't involve himself in every aspect of the company and there was naturally someone responsible for the HR department, he knew the overall job market. Had the salary for an office worker in the overseas department jumped that high already?
Song Tingshen didn't pour cold water over her enthusiasm. He said to Ruan Xia, "This company is really good then. It's close to home, you can set your own hours, and also have a high salary. It meets your wish list for job requirements. Congratulations."
