Chapter 6 — The entire department's salary is 39,000 yuan, just me 5,800 yuan

Anyway. A salary of 10,000 yuan is not low. I just looked at Vuong Le. Smiling softly. There was not the slightest bit of gratitude in that smile. There is only light sarcasm.

“Ms. Vuong.”

“Three years ago when I first joined the company.”

“You once told me that as long as you work hard, the company will not mistreat honest people.”

My voice is not loud. But every word was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

“I waited three years.”

“What I received was still only 5,800 yuan.”

Vuong Le's face immediately became extremely ugly. I slowly stood up. His eyes glanced at Vuong Le. Passing by Ly Vy and Trieu Vu, they were dumbfounded. Finally head towards the distance.

“Now…”

“It's all too late.”

I picked up my cup. Calmly walked towards the tea room. Leaving behind an entire petrified office. Exactly five o'clock in the afternoon. Vuong Le's internal phone rang again. The other end of the line. Manager Truong of Hoa Thinh Group could no longer keep calm. The voice was full of anger. And the only person who can solve that problem right now... is leisurely making himself a cup of flower tea. The news that I would participate in the team building trip was even more surprising to everyone than the news that I was about to quit my job. In everyone's mind, things were already tense enough that I should have refused to participate in that meaningless group activity. But I don't. When Vuong Le confirmed the final participation list in the chat group, I only replied with two words: That answer made Vuong Le feel uneasy. It also makes the whole department curious. What am I going to do? Friday afternoon. A large passenger car stopped in front of the company gate. Everyone got on the bus one by one. I was the last to arrive. Wear a simple sports outfit. Wearing a canvas bag that has been used for three years. Not too fast, not too slow, get in the car. The atmosphere in the car was a bit awkward. Ly Vy sat with a few female colleagues, leaning their heads together and whispering about something. As soon as they saw me walking up, everyone immediately shut their mouths. Trieu Vu leaned against the window, wearing headphones and pretending to sleep. But my eyelids still trembled slightly. Vuong Le sat in the front row. Looking at me through the rearview mirror. His face was gloomy. There was exactly one empty seat left in the car. Right next to Ly Vy. By reflex, she immediately placed her designer bag on it. Pretend like you don't see me. I don't care either. Go directly to the last row of seats. Sit down in a familiar corner. The location has been the same every time for the past three years. As if nothing had changed. But everyone knows. Everything has changed. Passenger bus departs. Head straight to the hot spring resort in the neighboring city. For two hours. The atmosphere in the car was strangely quiet. The resort is extremely luxurious. Looking at it, you can see that the company spent a lot of money this time. After checking in. Everyone is free to operate. Vuong Le immediately called Trieu Vu and several key employees of the department to his room. Close the door to discuss something. Ly Vy brought along several female colleagues. Can't wait to experience the famous afternoon tea shop in the resort. By the way, continue to gossip about which magical company ended up paying me a salary of 25,000 yuan. Changing into a bathrobe alone. Go to the outdoor hot spring area with the fewest people. White steam rose up. Cause People just want to close their eyes and sleep. I leaned my back against the rock by the lake. Close your eyes. Exhale a long breath. This is the first time in the past three years. I feel really relaxed. Right at that moment. A voice rang out next to me.

“Chu Nhien, can I talk to you for a moment?”

It's Vuong Le. She also changed into a bathrobe. There was a forced, gentle smile on his face. Then sat down next to me. Steam obscured her face. But I still felt the impatience in that voice.

“Chu Nhien.”

“I know I haven't cared about you enough in the past three years.”

Vuong Le began to attack emotions.

“I missed your growth.”

"It's also not timely to give you the remuneration you deserve."

“That is your responsibility.”

“But people have to look forward, right?”

“The general manager of the department has already agreed.”

“As long as you stay.”

“Immediately promote me to the position of Project Team Leader.”

“Salary 18,000 yuan.”

“Same level as Trieu Vu.”

That's the last card. It's also a price that she thinks no one can refuse. Salary increased more than three times. There is also a position. In her eyes. That's a huge favor. I slowly opened my eyes. Look at the mist floating on the water.

“Ms. Vuong.”

“Let me ask you something.”
