Chapter 79 Job Hopping 2
Outside the coffee shop.
A bolt of lightning, like a dragon in flight, streaked across the rain, illuminating the city for a fleeting moment before a deep rumble of thunder sounded, after which the rain outside intensified dramatically.
The "whoosh" sound was clearly audible even through the glass window.
The heavy rain in this sweltering summer seemed to weave a curtain of rain, enveloping the entire city in this rain veil.
Wu Han heard Su Qing's voice in her ear: "Don't feel like you're letting your boss down when you switch jobs. You're here to make money. Besides... many times, when you're here, the company's boss thinks that what you can do, others can do too, or even do better. Only after you leave will your true value be fully realized."
Su Qing looked at Wu Han, who was about the same age as her but looked three or four years older, and gently stirred her coffee with a spoon, asking, "Have you been watching any movies lately?"
"No"
Wu Han shook his head.
She doesn't have the time or leisure for that.
Her work not only takes up her daytime, but also her nighttime. Otherwise, she wouldn't have developed dark circles under her eyes from constantly revising her plans. Forget about watching movies, she can't even guarantee eight hours of sleep a day.
"You must have heard of the movie 'The Terror Live,' right!"
Su Qing continued to ask.
"I've heard of that."
Occasionally, when she's tired from work, she'll browse short videos in the most energy-efficient way, requiring only a few taps on her finger. She's seen the movie "The Terror Live" more than once, and the final scene, especially with the background music, has been described by many netizens as "heart-wrenching."
If she weren't so busy with work, she would definitely go to the cinema to see if it was as amazing as netizens said.
Just after she finished listening, Su Qing's words stunned her.
"Made by my current company"
Su Qing smiled and said, "The total production cost was over six million. Although the box office yesterday was almost halved, this movie can still bring my current company at least two or three hundred million in net profit."
"..."
Wu Han's eyes widened as she stared intently at Su Qing.
The higher up a company's management is, the clearer they are about what an annual net profit of 300 million means. For example, the Dick Company, which she works herself to the bone, only makes a little over 10 million a year. The two are not even in the same league.
"I've already said so much."
Su Qing said calmly, "Now it's your turn to make a decision. I came to offer you this opportunity because I knew you before and knew you were capable. If you refuse, I'll find someone else. Dick is too young; you should be on a bigger stage. 'The Terror Live' is the first film produced by my current company, and the company has only been established for a short time. If you come, you will be one of the company's senior executives."
After saying that, Su Qing added, "Give me an answer before 8 PM tonight. If it's past that time, I'll take it as a rejection."
Standing up from her chair, Su Qing walked to the entrance of the coffee shop, picked up her umbrella from the shelf, held it over her head, and braved the torrential rain to walk to where she had parked her car.
Rainwater splashed on the ground, wetting Su Qing's trouser legs, but she didn't care.
Sitting in the coffee shop, Wu Han watched Su Qing walk through the rain, then open the door of a red sedan, get in, and soon disappear into the parking space in front of the coffee shop.
Wu Han's face showed hesitation.
After thinking for a moment, she took out her phone to check the information about the production company of "The Terror Live". After seeing that it was indeed a newly established company, the information matched perfectly. Wu Han reached out and rubbed her temples.
Damn multiple-choice questions.
When she was in school, what she feared most was doing multiple-choice questions and deciding whether to tick or cross them.
Just as she was hesitating, the phone she was holding rang. Wu Han saw that it was her boss, Ma Tian, calling and quickly answered.
"Wu Han, didn't you say you went to pick up a client?!"
Ma's angry voice came through the phone: "Then why did the client say you didn't go when I called them? Fine, Wu Han, with this kind of work attitude, you still want me to give you a raise? Fine, let me tell you bluntly, it's impossible. I won't consider it unless you correct your current work attitude."
"..."
Wait until your boss finishes speaking.
Wu Han sat by the window in the coffee shop for a while. Seeing that the rain seemed to have stopped getting heavier, she took her umbrella and went to her parked car.
soon.
She appeared in the company. Upon seeing her return, her colleagues immediately reminded her, "Mr. Ma said he was waiting for you to come back, so I'm reminding you to go to his office."
"Oh"
Wu Han nodded slightly.
However, she did not go directly there. Instead, she went back to her office, picked up a resignation form, filled it out, and then walked to Mr. Ma's office door.
In the past, she would definitely have knocked on the door first, but now... that phone call just now made her realize one thing: even if she worked herself to death at Dick's company, the boss would think it was due to her own reasons, not because of long hours of overtime.
Why didn't you knock?
Ma Tian said with some dissatisfaction, "Wu Han, not only is your work attitude problematic, but your attitude towards me, your boss, is also problematic. I have to give you a good talking-to..."
"Sign it!"
Before Ma Tian could finish speaking, Wu Han slammed her resignation form on her boss's desk. In addition, she also removed the name tag that all managers at Dick Company were required to wear upon arriving at the company and placed it on the resignation form.
Ma Tian paused for a moment, subconsciously picked up the resignation form and looked at it, then laughed and said, "Wu Han, you can't be serious! Who taught you this? It's just that I didn't give you a raise! You're actually threatening me with resignation. I'm not saying this to be mean, but I really don't know what you young people are thinking these days. Do you know how tough the job market is right now? Once you leave Dick, I doubt you'll even be able to find a job."
"This is none of Mr. Ma's concern."
Wu Han pointed to the resignation form: "You should just sign it!"
"no"
Now, Ma Tian panicked a little.
His reluctance to raise Wu Han's salary does not mean he is unaware of Wu Han's work ability.
After thinking for a moment, Ma Tian said, "It's just a raise of two thousand! Here's what we'll do: give me two more months to think it over. Focus on doing your job well first, and I'll definitely give you a satisfactory answer regarding your salary. I'm doing this for your own good. It's not easy to find a job outside, and even if you do, it won't be as much as I'm offering. How many college graduates can earn over ten thousand a month these days? Very few. Don't be fooled by short videos. The average person on short videos earns a hundred million, but in reality, they only get three thousand five."
"Sign it!"
Wu Han pushed the resignation form in front of her boss: "I just finished my last project and the next one hasn't started yet, so there's not much work to hand over."
"Wu Han, you'd better think this through."
Ma Tian said, "Once you leave Dick's, you won't be a supervisor anymore. You're giving up your job for a two thousand dollar raise? Fine, I'll sign now. I want to see what kind of future you can have after leaving Dick."
talking.
Ma Tian picked up Wu Han's resignation form and signed it directly.
As Wu Han turned around, Ma Tian's voice rang out again: "After you leave, don't regret it. Don't think that Dick will stop turning just because you're gone. If you don't do it, someone else will, and they'll do it even better than you."
