Chapter 4: Chapter 4 – No Thanks, I’ve Found A Job

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The Qing Cheng International Group was extremely efficient. Only moments after Li Tian entered the office, both parties had reached an agreement and signed the contract.

His monthly salary was 6000 dollars, excluding additional year-end bonuses. Moreover, this large company definitely had amazing employee benefits with regard to his worker’s insurance.

Li Tian’s office was situated in the PR department, and although it wasn’t the biggest in size, the department had many beautiful female employees.

Upon entering the department, Li Tian was almost blinded by the sight of over twenty beautiful women, all of which possessing their own unique charms.

As the name suggests, the PR department was responsible for the company’s public relations. For instance, if a manager was required to attend business meetings and was worried about securing customers, this would be where the PR department would be required.

Having business talks over some drinks was the most typical situation, and apart from this, nothing else would be expected.

Upright companies usually would not play any tricks.

These girls, whose beauty were their biggest strengths apart from their smooth talking skills, were all paid over ten thousand dollars a month.

When Li Tian entered, the employees weren’t too busy, and it seemed as though they had just been arranging their materials at their respective desks.

They seem to have wanted to dig out everything about their potential customers, including their personality, strengths, and hobbies, all of which would increase their chances of winning over these customers.

What was Li Tian’s role? He was responsible for delivering coffee and tea to these girls, as well as maintaining the general cleanliness of the office.

“Li Tian, please throw this away.”

“Li Tian, where’s the coffee I asked for? Just walk along the corridor and you’ll find a vending machine… What? No, you don’t need money for that, just swipe my employee card.”

“Li Tian, you’re going to collect a parcel, right? Could you also buy me some snacks from the shop on your way back?”

…

Although he had just started working, Li Tian finally understood how it felt to be surrounded by a group of women.

As it was rare to have a man in the PR department, Li Tian had already become the office’s delivery boy.

Li Tian couldn’t reject their orders, and also didn’t think that these orders were a big deal.

However, sometimes he would also gain benefits from acting accordingly. For example, after he brought Chen Ya Jing the coffee she had asked for, she secretly gave him a peck on the cheek.

Although he had only begun working for two hours, Li Tian began to realise that he enjoyed this job. These girls weren’t embarrassed and were all dressed very openly in the office. The PR department was indeed a place that most people couldn’t even dream of entering.

…

In the president’s office, Su Xiao Yue had been making her daily report after finishing her tasks.

“President, today’s tasks are almost complete, and our progress are even greater than we expected. At present, a number of wholesalers have signed the contracts for the autumn season’s supply, approximately 100,000 sets worth. Only a few others haven’t…”

As Su Xiao Yue began her report, Lin Yi listened attentively as she took notes.

Women who took their work seriously were the most beautiful. Lin Yi’s expression was slightly cold, but was also very sophisticated.

Su Xiao Yue gazed at Lin Yi in admiration.

Within the company, it could be said that everyone looked up to Lin Yi because of her charms.

Following the report, Lin Yi put away her notes and gently said, “Forget about those who haven’t signed the agreement. For the time being, don’t bother the PR department, I’m worried that our girls will be taken advantage of by those detestable men. It will turn autumn in a few months time, so bring your department for a vacation after this week using the company’s funds.”

Joy appeared on Su Xiao Yue’s face as Lin Yi spoke.

The salaries of the PR department were high, but their jobs were also extremely exhausting. However, they were required to work overtime occasionally, hence, this vacation compensated by the company was something to look forward to.

“Okay, I’ll inform everyone and let them finish up the work they’re currently undertaking.”

“Okay.”

Lin Yi responded, with her head still lowered, as if she was looking at something.

Usually, Su Xiao Yue would quietly excuse herself at this time, but today, she had something to say.

“President, I have something I want to say.”

“What’s the matter?”

“Our department welcomed a new employee today, and I brought out the lingerie set for the autumn Fashion Week to show him…”

“What!? That’s supposed to be a secret… Why would you do this?”

Lin Yi frowned upon hearing her words.

“I brought out the one that hadn’t yet been altered, the defective lingerie set that we had previously. Hasn’t it been fixed now?”

Su Xiao Yue immediately explained herself.

“Ah, that’s what you meant. Aren’t you and Su Jin in charge of new recruits in your department? You don’t have to report this to me.”

“It’s not because of this, but this new recruit suggested that the brooch…”

Su Xiao Yue repeated the suggestion that Li Tian had offered earlier.

Although she didn’t like Li Tian due to his attitude, she thought long and hard about Li Tian’s suggestion for the entire afternoon. Although it seemed like a small matter, a flaw in the design had been pointed out, and thus, Su Xiao Yue would work in the best interests of the company.

As soon as Su Xiao Yue finished speaking, Lin Yi quietly considered the feasibility of Li Tian’s suggestion.

A few minutes passed by before Lin Yi revealed a faint smile on her face.

“Not a bad suggestion… The company will take this suggestion. I never thought that your department would find such a talent during this recruitment fair. Remember to give him a bonus at the end of the year.”

“Got it. Umm… President, would you like me to call him over and report to you directly?”

Lin Yi was indeed curious about such a talent. However, upon glancing at the watch on her wrist, she realised that it was time to leave.

“It’s late today. Arrange a meeting for us tomorrow.”

“Understood.”

…

“Alright, who wants breakfast tomorrow?”

Li Tian asked loudly in the office, and soon, the employees gathered around.

“What’s for breakfast?”

“Soy milk, dough fritters, dumplings, congee…”

“I want dumplings and soy milk.”

“I’d like some vegetarian dumplings…”

…

Upon leaving work, Li Tian had approximately 800 dollars on his body for tomorrow’s breakfast. As the majority of the employees usually woke up late, it would be for the best if Li Tian could buy them breakfast in the morning.

Many of the employees just handed him 50 dollars, and thus, Li Tian decided to take it as though they had tipped him.

As buying breakfast would give him roughly 300-400 dollars in tips, Li Tian thought to himself, This sure was easy money!

When Li Tian arrived home, Lin Yi was already in her usual position, sitting on the sofa whilst reading a magazine.

Li Tian wanted to greet her, but couldn’t bring himself to say hi.

Wouldn’t saying hi be causing problems for himself?

But…

“Found a job?”

Li Tian didn’t greet her, but instead, Lin Yi had been the one to start a conversation.

Undoubtedly, she was directing this question towards Li Tian.

“Who cares if I have or haven’t?”

Upon sensing Lin Yi’s sarcasm, Li Tian answered in a disparaging manner.

“What’s most important when finding a job here is your educational background. If you don’t have a diploma, it would be very difficult for you. Come with me to my company tomorrow, I’ll arrange a job for you in the security department.”

Lin Yi thought long and hard before making this decision.

Indeed, it was true that she didn’t like Li Tian, but they were still married to each other. Their marriage was a mistake, but she didn’t have the courage to end it.

She felt bad seeing Li Tian unemployed. He’s perfectly fine and healthy, so why can’t he be more serious in finding a job?

How can this laziness benefit his future?

She thought that if she arranged a job for Li Tian, she wouldn’t have to bear with him asking her for money anymore.

“No thanks, I’ve found a job. I don’t need your pity!”

Li Tian replied, before turning around and walking towards the stairs.
