Chapter 1 The Shock

These twin flower sisters really had the desired effect. Huang Sibao was completely stunned the moment he walked in.

What kind of company that could afford this kind of receptionist would be short on money?

Impossible!

It was a pity that this company had high requirements, and he couldn't get in.

Otherwise, how much face would he have if he told others that he worked at Shenhua Haojing, and the company's receptionist was a pair of twin flower sisters!

Huang Sibao looked at the workstations inside again.

Continued shock!

These desks were big enough!

Was the rent here free, or what? Why were the desks so far apart?

You could almost play badminton!

On the desk were two huge high-end monitors that looked very expensive.

Next to the floor-to-ceiling windows was a row of green plants, each of which looked delicate and pampered, and there was an aunt taking care of them carefully.

Huang Sibao felt as if he had traveled into some idol drama.

The companies in those dramas were like this.

But he had never seen it in reality.

Again, it was a pity that this company had high requirements, and he couldn't get in.

Huang Sibao went to the front desk, and with the mentality of just going through the motions since he was already here, he gave his name.

"Please wait a moment, I will inform the interviewer immediately."

The pretty receptionist on the left smiled brightly, her service attitude was 100 points, and the healing effect was also 100 points.

"Please come with me."

The front desk girl stood up with a smile and led Huang Sibao inside.

To Huang Sibao's surprise, the company was a bit empty, with not many people.

In this situation, he would instinctively worry, wondering if he had encountered a swindler.

But looking at the furnishings in the company, he knew that it was impossible to be scammed.

How could a swindler be willing to spend so much money?

Swindlers also had to consider the problem of input and output. How many people would they have to swindle to recoup the cost of setting up this place?

So, these people were truly rich, not pretending.

This was a new company opened by a local tycoon, probably to cater to the trend of cloud gaming.

Huang Sibao felt that he had grasped the truth of the matter.

He arrived at the reception room, where a young man was sitting on the sofa.

He had delicate features and was dressed in a suit and tie.

Huang Sibao instantly felt inferior.

This outfit looked even more expensive than the ones worn by the investment bankers he had seen before!

Huang Sibao couldn't even estimate the price of this custom-made suit, but it was definitely beyond his imagination.

Huang Sibao had interviewed at several game companies before, but they were all very casual.

The interviewers were also wearing shorts and vests, working at their desks one second and being pulled into the conference room to start the interview the next.

But this place was different. This interviewer definitely didn't look like an ordinary person.

Huang Sibao couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Huang Sibao, right? Please sit down. I am Pei Qian, the president of Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd."

The young man opposite him stood up and shook hands with Huang Sibao.

Huang Sibao was flattered, his voice even trembling slightly, "Hello, President Pei."

"Don't be so restrained, just chat casually. Come, have some tea." Pei Qian casually pushed a sterling silver teacup in front of Huang Sibao.

Huang Sibao looked at the sterling silver tea set casually placed on the table, unable to estimate its value.

Although he had never met Pei Qian before, this didn't prevent Huang Sibao from using his imagination.

Young and promising!

Both games were a great success!

Moreover, the way he casually held the sterling silver teacup and drank tea couldn't be faked!

He really didn't treat money like money!

It felt like this sterling silver teacup was no different from a plastic paper cup in President Pei's eyes.

This made Huang Sibao instinctively feel a sense of unease.

"Briefly tell me about your work experience." Pei Qian said with a smile.

Huang Sibao felt his heart beating fast, and his mouth was a little dry.

However, he forcibly suppressed this nervousness and roughly described his resume.

He misspoke several times, making him even more nervous.

Pei Qian drank his tea while listening, with a faint smile on his face, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Huang Sibao's heart skipped a beat.

It's over, my resume must be too poor, President Pei is laughing at me inside!

Laughing at my overestimation of myself, daring to come here for an interview with this level of experience?

Huang Sibao's face flushed slightly, and after barely finishing his self-introduction, he wanted to rush out the door immediately.

"Very good."

After listening to Huang Sibao's self-introduction, Pei Qian nodded with a smile.

Very good?

Huang Sibao almost thought he had misheard.

Was this sarcasm?

Huang Sibao had worked at his previous company for half a year, basically doing odd jobs under Lao Liu and doing the most basic manual labor.

This resume was better left unsaid.

President Pei actually said "very good"?

What did he mean, was he trying to humiliate me?

Huang Sibao didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Seeing Huang Sibao's expression, Pei Qian knew that he had probably misunderstood, and quickly continued,

"What I mean is that your conditions are very much in line with our company's requirements. May I ask when you can start working?"

"Ah? I... the day after tomorrow...?"

Huang Sibao casually said a time.

Anyway, for a nobody like him, resigning was as easy as saying goodbye, and there were no handover procedures to worry about.

"Very good, then come to work the day after tomorrow. Complete the resignation procedures, and we will sign a formal labor contract."

"So, what are your thoughts on salary and benefits?" Pei Qian asked.

Salary and benefits...

Huang Sibao received the lowest salary at his previous company, 1500 per month, without any social insurance or housing fund.

This money was barely enough to live on, and he couldn't save any money.

If he could really work here, the working environment alone would be a huge win.

As for the salary, it would be fine if it was the same as before.

But Huang Sibao also felt that if he changed jobs, his salary should increase a little, right?

He already had half a year of work experience, so adding four hundred yuan wouldn't be too much, would it?

Then... let's round it up to two thousand?

Thinking of this number, Huang Sibao himself felt that he was being a bit greedy.

But the question had already been asked.

Huang Sibao tentatively said, "Two thousand a month... do you think that's okay? President Pei, don't worry, I will be conscientious and responsible in my work, and I will definitely not complain about working overtime!"

Pei Qian sighed slightly and shook his head.

Huang Sibao's heart skipped a beat.

What's wrong, am I asking for too much money?

Well, it is a bit too much...

Huang Sibao could only wait for Pei Qian to lower the price, thinking that as long as it wasn't lower than what he was getting now, he could accept it.

Pei Qian counted on his fingers and said, "Look, let me calculate it for you."

Huang Sibao swallowed nervously and nodded, listening, knowing that this was a common tactic for lowering prices.

Pei Qian organized his words.

"You rent a house in Jingzhou, and it costs 1000 yuan a month, right?"

"Eating, including eating out and treating guests, costs 800 yuan a month, right? University students have more living expenses than that!"

"You have to buy two or three new clothes a month, which is another 300 yuan, right?"

"Utilities, gas, and daily expenses, add another 200 yuan, right?"

"Transportation costs, 100 yuan a month, and that's a low estimate."

"If you're in a relationship, you have to buy your girlfriend lipstick and cosmetics for festivals, so you have to set aside another 300 yuan a month."

"Young people can't spend all their money every month, they have to save 500 yuan, right?"

"You calculate it, that's more than 3000, and that's after tax."

"Our company is responding to the national call and paying the full amount of social insurance and housing fund. So, you have to earn at least 3500 before tax to ensure a basic life!"

"Moreover, our company has promised to provide employees with higher salary and benefits than the industry average, so adding another 500 yuan is reasonable."

"So, how about 4000 yuan a month?"
