Chapter 25: Charm 30, Unlock Reward
April 17, 2023, Monday, cloudy, 12~23c.
Three major events happened at Jinxiu Trading today.
The first event, the Human Resources Department underwent an organizational structure adjustment, adding multiple branch departments, including: Human Resources Planning and Development Department, Training Department, Employee Relations Department, Compensation and Benefits Department, etc.
The second event, Personnel Specialist Tian Jing was officially promoted to Compensation Supervisor, and all members of the company received the notice.
The third event, Tang Song asked for leave to buy a car, and it was a Wuling Hongguang.
Of course, this third major event only applied to the small circle of the "Technical Support Department."
"Old Song is truly unique; even picking up a car is so different! This kid must have been stimulated by someone, hahahaha!" Du Shaokai laughed until he had tears in his eyes.
"Wuling Hongguang? Isn't that a van? What is Tang Song thinking?"
"Is Brother Song planning to take a part-time job? Lalamove?"
"You girls don't understand; that's an MPV! Driving this car out, you'll look so cool to the brothers!"
"I think it's quite good; it can carry people and goods, practical!"
"Indeed, I feel like all seventeen of us in the technical department could fit in. If we have a team-building event later, driving this one will be enough."
"Then if it flips, we'll all be wiped out."
…
After all, it was working hours, so everyone was quite restrained in their discussion.
However, the WeChat group was already very lively, with various bad memes and stickers flying everywhere.
Gradually, someone started it, and the group began talking about the organizational adjustment of the Human Resources Department.
Someone with inside information revealed that the company was about to receive financing, bluntly saying that this organizational adjustment might just be the beginning.
Next, the Finance Department, Sales Department, Channel Department, and even their Technical Support Department would all undergo adjustments.
Hearing such news, everyone became excited.
The adjustment of the structure meant that there would be more management positions.
Isn't working hard in the company just for promotion and salary increase?
Zhao Yue, sitting in the corner, looked very gloomy, her mind still thinking about Tian Jing's promotion.
After receiving this news early in the morning, she didn't even have the mood to drink the coffee she had bought.
In her view, she and Tian Jing were competitors, joining at the same time and both being popular beauties in the company.
In terms of age, Tian Jing was even younger than her, 22 years old, having graduated from university for less than a year.
Now, she had actually become a Compensation Supervisor, two levels higher than her in rank.
In the future, her salary and benefits would be controlled by Tian Jing; salary adjustments would require her approval, birthdays would require her signature to receive gifts, and expense reimbursements would have to pass her audit.
To some extent, she could already be considered her leader.
This blow made her somewhat unable to accept it, making her chest ache with anger.
Gritting her teeth, Zhao Yue directly posted in the girls' small group of the department: "Little Jing from the HR department is so amazing. She joined for less than a year, and she's already jumped two levels, now becoming a supervisor! She is simply our role model and goal for struggle!"
Although the Technical Department had been established for a relatively short time, there were also several female employees who had worked for about three years, and their positions had never been promoted.
Hearing this, they felt a bit unhappy in their hearts.
They followed up with some sarcastic remarks in the group.
"Maybe she has some special skills; we don't understand."
"She's so beautiful and knows how to act cute; hehe, promotion and salary increase are a matter of course."
After mocking her a few times in the group, Zhao Yue's heart finally felt a bit better.
Then she thought of Tang Song's second-hand car and couldn't help but curl her lip.
She lived not far from Tang Song, and she had originally planned to hitch a ride to and from work every day, but she didn't expect him to be so ruthless.
Thinking of herself sitting in Tang Song's Wuling van and arriving at the underground parking lot, just as she got off, she happened to run into Tian Jing driving an Audi A5.
Zhao Yue shivered all over.
That scene was simply… who would understand!
……
The vehicle management office on Monday was crowded.
The transfer demands accumulated over the weekend were basically concentrated on this day.
Tang Song and Li Mingjun rushed over early in the morning, queuing for vehicle inspection, rubbing the frame number, removing the license plate, filling out the application form, selecting the number, and transferring registration…
By the time the new license plate was in hand, it was already approaching noon.
Li Mingjun shook the license plate in his hand and laughed: "It's like this now; there are too few pure numbers, and yours is considered okay, one letter + four numbers."
"Hmm, I understand." Tang Song nodded.
Immediately after, Li Mingjun took out the toolbox from the car and began to install the license plate.
His movements were very skilled, and it was done in three or five minutes with a "clatter."
Patting his hands and putting away the tools, Li Mingjun laughed: "Don't worry about the insurance transfer; I'll go to the insurance company this afternoon and call you when it's done. Also, regarding the balance, Gao Mengting has been messaging me all morning asking about the progress; she should be quite anxious for money."
"Alright, I'll transfer it to her now." Tang Song quickly took out his phone, almost forgetting about this.
Since his cash was all stored in the 【Betting Agreement】, this money was borrowed from Weili Dai.
He did have friends with good relationships he could borrow from, but this kind of thing could affect the relationship between the two parties if not handled well, so it was better not to open his mouth easily.
After Tang Song transferred the remaining 22,500 yuan, Li Mingjun called Gao Mengting again to confirm, and after confirmation, the transaction was completely settled.
"If there's anything with the car, just contact me. I'm leaving first, goodbye." Li Mingjun waved at him and got into his partner's car.
"Goodbye." Tang Song withdrew his gaze and looked at the Wuling Hongguang waiting for him in the parking space.
From now on, this car completely belonged to him.
Smooth and fresh car body lines, hexagonal air intake grille, simple taillights, sturdy luggage rack.
It was truly pleasing no matter how he looked at it.
He couldn't help but take out his phone and take a few photos.
At this moment, Tang Song deeply understood Brother Guo's mood at that time.
Putting away his phone, he opened the car door and climbed into the driver's seat.
Just as his hands gripped the steering wheel, the system light screen suddenly unfolded before his eyes, and lines of text jumped out.
【April 17, 2023, you own your first car, and your vehicle has been upgraded from "Yadea Electric Scooter" to "Wuling Hongguang S"】
【You have your own private mobile space, you can leave whenever you want, fear no sun or rain, you will be more decent in social occasions, you can calmly go pick up the girl you like for a meal…】
【Your charm has reached 30, successfully unlocking this stage of assets and permissions】
Immediately after, a gorgeous progress bar appeared before his eyes.
【24' (Initial Charm) … 30o … 40o … 50o … 60o … 70o … 80o … 90o … 100o】
The small treasure chest corresponding to node 30 above was spitting out red light, indicating that it could be claimed.
Tang Song's hands gripping the steering wheel exerted force abruptly, his body leaned forward subconsciously, and endless surprise erupted in his eyes.
As his weight dropped to the normal range, his charm had been stuck at 29 for a few days, and now it finally broke through to 30 with the upgrade of his vehicle.
This could be considered reasonable; residence, vehicle, partner, and career all belong to a part of personal charm.
Tang Song took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
Excellent lung function allowed him to calm down quickly.
Touching the treasure chest with his consciousness, claim immediately.
His vision blurred for a moment, then returned to normal, accompanied by a crisp system prompt.
"Ding! You have obtained 【Skill Upgrade Card (LV1)】."
"Ding! You have obtained 【One Million Startup Capital】."
"Ding! You have obtained 【Corporate Office Space】."
"Ding! You have unlocked a new functional module 【Dress-up Center】."
"Ding! You have obtained 【Dress-up - Night Cool】."
"Ding! 【Growth Plan Task】 has been opened, please go to 【Task Center】 to view." ===== CHAPTER 26 =====
