Chapter 208 Poaching
Chapter 208 Poaching
Before leaving, Yin Jia turned around and added another sarcastic remark.
"By the way, my chairman's assistant also earns an annual salary of two million, not counting the year-end bonus. And every single Fendi business suit that Assistant Tang wears is bought by the boss, every single quarter!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
The assistant was left standing there, almost spitting blood. How could there be such a big difference between working people?
Let alone Fendi suits, he only owns a few suits in total. Suits are so expensive, you can't just buy them whenever you want.
With his monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, he still has to travel to another city every day to poach employees for his boss. He hasn't found anyone yet, and he doesn't know if his airfare will be reimbursed.
If I had known, I would have gone to work when Wenyao Group was recruiting.
The assistant was heartbroken and felt like a clown.
At this time, the entire Song family in the capital was in complete chaos.
Grandma Song, leaning on her cane, traveled a long way from the countryside in the suburbs to the city.
“Song Zhen, I think that young man from the Lu family is a very good person. Why did the marriage fall through?”
Grandma Song was heartbroken; how could her wonderful grandson-in-law be gone?
"Grandma, there is a connection between people. Even if you are no longer destined to be together, you can still be friends."
Song Zhen continued to comfort her gently.
Grandma Song got angry.
"Nonsense! How can you give up on this marriage? You're already in your mid-twenties, if you wait any longer you'll really never get married."
"Look at you! You were so smart when you were little, always getting first place in exams. How come you can't even hold onto a man? I think you should go to the Lu family right now and see if you can still salvage the situation."
Song Zhen pursed her lips and looked at Song Zhiqian beside her.
Song Zhiqian, who was playing a game with his legs crossed, couldn't even continue playing after hearing his grandmother's words.
"Grandma, what are you saying? My sister is worth ten of Zheng Ran's. It was a joint decision made by the two of them to cancel the engagement."
Before Grandma Song could speak, the second branch of the Song family laughed.
Aunt Song looked smug.
"That sounds nice, but I think the eldest son of the Lu family is both capable and handsome. What woman wouldn't want him? I heard that girls in Haicheng are scrambling to get him. If Song Zhen doesn't want such a good match, she'll never get married!"
When Grandma Song heard that Song Zhen was going to never get married, she became inexplicably anxious and grabbed Song Zhen's hand.
"Oh dear, this won't do. Song Zhen, you can't delay any longer. Stop what you're doing and don't worry about the company's affairs. You need to settle down first!"
Upon hearing this, the two members of the second branch of the Song family exchanged a glance, their eyes lighting up.
"Yes, if you keep working too hard you'll become an old maid. Your cousin will have to handle the company's affairs. Don't let it interfere with your marriage."
Song Zhiqian felt nauseous upon hearing this.
"What are you talking about?! How can you call her an old maid? My sister is still young, only 26 years old. There are many women who are 26 years old and still unmarried, both men and women."
Song Zhiqian was still desperately trying to explain to his grandmother.
Grandma Song was born into a wealthy traditional family. She attended school for a few years before returning home to learn how to manage household affairs. When she turned twenty, she married Grandpa Song. It was a marriage between two powerful people.
Although there was no real affection, people at that time had traditional values and were embarrassed to talk about feelings openly.
"I'm not young anymore. When I was your age, your dad was already in school! Besides, how can a girl compare to a man? Men all like young girls. Who would want your older sister when she's older!"
Grandma Song stopped being polite when she spoke.
“Mom, we don’t only have Song Zhen as a child. At worst, we can let my son work in the company, and the company will still operate. Besides, men are definitely more capable than women. If our business partners hear that the person in charge here is a woman, who would want to cooperate with us?”
Uncle Song fanned the flames from the side, and when Grandma Song heard this, she thought the method was perfect.
"Why can't we compare? Grandma, you've been living in the countryside for too long. Starting tomorrow, you'll be living with me! You're not allowed to go back to the suburbs. Open your eyes and see the world, you know? What era are we living in?"
Besides, Uncle, even if my sister isn't at the company, I'm still here. We don't need my cousin yet, so I won't disturb your family's peaceful life.
After saying that, Song Zhiqian wished he could move his grandmother to a new house right now, determined to change her outdated and rigid mindset.
"Song Zhiqian, you have no respect for your elders! Is this how you talk to your grandmother? Besides, I'm your second uncle, I'm also a member of the Song family. Why can't my son work for the company? Furthermore, everyone knows you're good for nothing. If you join the company, you'll only ruin its future!"
Uncle Song was also annoyed, and the situation became difficult to control for a while.
Tonight, the second branch of the Song family took advantage of Chairman Song and his wife going out for a social engagement to bring Grandma into the main branch of the Song family.
They just thought the two young people were easy to bully.
"Enough! Stop making a scene!"
Song Zhen slammed the ashtray on the table, and the room fell inexplicably quiet.
In that instant, everyone forgot that she was a petite girl.
Having spent so much time in the company, Song Zhen had developed the aura of someone in charge. Usually, out of consideration for family, she treated everyone in the room with great politeness.
I've finally figured it out and can't take it anymore.
She was asked to marry someone back then, and she arranged a marriage with Lu Zhengran, a man of equal social standing. However, her younger brother later realized that the marriage was no longer necessary.
Now, do you want to take the power out of her hands?
"I am now in charge of the Song Group, Second Uncle. If my cousin really wants to join the company, have him go for an interview with HR tomorrow."
I broke off the engagement, and to compensate Lu Zhengran, I even gave him a project.
Song Zhen said this calmly.
"I still have work to do at the group, so I can't keep you company."
Then I grabbed my clothes and went out.
No one dared to move in the room.
The Song family's second wife and son-in-law looked at each other in bewilderment. Was this Song Zhen?
That's strange, they didn't dare to say a word just now.
Song Zhiqian also looked at the doorway in surprise. In the past, his sister would only get angry at him in the whole family. Although it was the kind of thing that involved punching and kicking, it was never as scary as it was tonight.
Grandma Song coughed a few times in anger and pounded her chest.
"What kind of sins have we committed to make a girl the sole breadwinner? I have let down the Song family."
Grandma Song leaned back on the sofa, then sat up straight in an instant.
"It must be a problem with the ancestral graves. I want to go back to my hometown!"
Then he leaned on his crutches and tried to go out.
