Li Xiulan

"Xiaoling, thank you for coming to report this issue. Liu Mei Qi, as Sales General Manager, frequently doesn't come to work, which indeed has a bad influence on the company. Here's what we'll do: you go back first, and I'll handle this matter."

Wang Erhai did not choose to cover up for Liu Mei Qi because of his intimate relationship with her; instead, he generously thanked Dong Xiaoling and promised to handle this matter properly.

"General Manager Wang, I'll go back to work now."

Dong Xiaoling breathed a sigh of relief. Since Wang Erhai had said that, she felt reassured.

At this moment, Wang Erhai called out to her:

"Xiaoling, what is your monthly salary now?"

Dong Xiaolan was stunned and didn't understand for a moment why Wang Erhai was asking this question.

"General Manager Wang, my monthly salary is around seven thousand yuan before tax."

Dong Xiaolan answered honestly.

A monthly salary of seven thousand yuan before tax was already quite good for someone like her who worked in HR, especially in a small county town.

Wang Erhai said:

"Starting next month, I'll raise your salary by five hundred yuan. How does that sound?"

Upon hearing this, Dong Xiaolan was immediately overjoyed:

"Thank you, General Manager Wang. I will definitely work twice as hard from now on!"

Wang Erhai smiled and nodded:

"Go back now. I'll communicate with Liu Mei Qi in a moment."

After Dong Xiaolan left, Wang Erhai immediately dialed Liu Mei Qi's phone number.

"Hello, are you still sleeping?"

"Just got up. Is something the matter?" Liu Mei Qi's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Can't I call you if there's nothing wrong?" Wang Erhai asked coldly.

His tone wasn't very good, but upon hearing it, Liu Mei Qi couldn't help but show a smile on her face.

Liu Mei Qi liked this kind of domineering concern.

"I didn't say I couldn't. What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll cook it for you." Liu Mei Qi said with a smile.

"When did you become so virtuous? It's like the sun rising from the west." Wang Erhai's words were sharp and biting, but he couldn't help but show a smile on his face either.

"I've always been virtuous, alright? It's just that you bastard always make me angry, that's why I've become irritable!" Liu Mei Qi rolled her eyes, then urged him: "Hurry up, quickly tell me what you want to eat, I still have to go out to buy dishes later!"

"Whatever. Whatever you want to eat, I'll eat." Wang Erhai wasn't picky about food, so he just said that one sentence.

Liu Mei Qi, however, spoke with hidden meaning: "What I want to eat, can you handle it? Unless your waist can fold!"

Wang Erhai made a "puff" sound, shocked by Liu Mei Qi's these tiger-wolf words.

"Just make me some sweet and sour spare ribs or something, that's fine."

Wang Erhai said this.

Liu Mei Qi, however, said:

"I don't know how to caramelize sugar, so I can't make sweet and sour spare ribs."

"Then make whatever you know how to make."

"Then I'll make you tomato scrambled eggs, stir-fried pork belly with green vegetables, and stew an old chicken soup on the side. How does that sound?"

"That works."

Wang Erhai nodded, then said:

"By the way, there's something I need to tell you."

"What is it?"

"Don't you want to do sales anymore?"

"No, who told you I don't want to do sales anymore?"

"I just see you not coming to work every few days, so I thought you didn't want to do this job anymore. After all, sales is a job of serving people, it's hard and tiring. It's normal that you don't want to do it after doing it for so long."

"That's true. After doing sales for so many years, I've truly experienced what 'money is hard to earn, shit is hard to eat' means."

"How about this: I'll arrange a different position for you, and you won't do sales anymore. How does that sound?"

Wang Erhai said this.

He didn't mention a single word about Dong Xiaolan's report.

After all, speaking this matter out would affect the company's unity.

"Where do you want to arrange for me to go?"

"I'll arrange for you to work in HR. How does that sound?"

Wang Erhai said this.

"I've never done HR before." Liu Mei Qi hesitated a bit, after all, this wasn't her area of expertise.

Wang Erhai said:

"Don't worry. Dong Xiaolan, who is in charge of HR in our company now, does very well in this aspect and is very experienced. When you go to the HR Department, just let her show you the ropes."

Liu Mei Qi, however, was unwilling:

"You mean to let me be Dong Xiaolan's subordinate? I don't want that. I'm the Sales General Manager in the Sales Department, the head of the sales department. If you transfer me to the HR Department, I at least have to be the head of the HR Department!"

Liu Mei Qi's proposal was actually not excessive.

The HR Department's importance was originally comparable to that of the Sales Department.

She was transferred to the Sales Department; she couldn't possibly still be demoted, right?

Even if she was transferred at the same level to head the Sales Department, it was actually still a demotion in disguise.

She only agreed to accept the transfer out of respect for Wang Erhai.

"Fine then, you go be the head of the HR Department. If there's anything you don't understand, ask Dong Xiaoling more, after all, she's a professional."

And so, this matter was decided just like that.

Wang Erhai called Dong Xiaoling into the office again and told her about this matter.

Dong Xiaoling had originally been overjoyed that Wang Erhai had increased her salary by 500 yuan, but now Wang Erhai told her that Liu Mei Qi would be transferred to the HR Department as Personnel General Manager, and Dong Xiaoling was completely stunned.

Only now did she understand that although her whistleblowing had brought a reward, it also came at a price.

Thinking that she would have to report to Liu Mei Qi in the future, and that she had reported Liu Mei Qi, she couldn't help but feel terrified and uneasy all over.

She even felt that Wang Erhai's move was equivalent to giving a piece of sugar and then a stick—it was truly cunning, truly heart-wrenching.

No wonder he could be the Big Boss; she was just a small employee, how could she play against him?

"Xiaoling, from now on you and Mei Qi will be colleagues in the same department. If she does anything poorly, you can report to me at any time. You'll still have to trouble yourself to show her the ropes more in the future, after all, she's never done HR before."

Wang Erhai had a polite smile on his face.

Dong Xiaoling gave a dry laugh:

"General Manager Wang, rest assured, I will definitely do my job well."

Dong Xiaoling had not agreed to show Liu Mei Qi the ropes; Liu Mei Qi parachuted into the HR Department as the head, and from now on she would be a big shot, while Dong Xiaoling would have to stand aside—how could she show Liu Mei Qi the ropes?

She was only fit to take orders from Liu Mei Qi; where did she get the qualifications to show Liu Mei Qi the ropes?

At this moment, Dong Xiaoling instead hoped that Liu Mei Qi wouldn't come to work too often. Only if Liu Mei Qi didn't come to the company every few days could she control the entire HR Department. Once Liu Mei Qi came, not only would she have to handle daily work well, she would also have to serve Liu Mei Qi well—wouldn't that be exhausting?

Wang Erhai asked at this time:

"Xiaoling, are you free at noon?"

Dong Xiaoling was stunned again. She was afraid Wang Erhai was digging another pit for her, so she asked cautiously:

"General Manager Wang, is there something you want me to do?"

Wang Erhai said:

"Actually there's nothing much. I was just thinking that if you're free, we can go have a meal together at noon."

Dong Xiaoling was stunned, completely not expecting that Wang Erhai would actually take the initiative to make such a request to her.

She even couldn't help but let her imagination run wild: Oh no, General Manager Wang wouldn't be interested in me, would he?
