Chapter 86 - 0086: Promotion and Salary Increase

Chapter 86: Chapter 0086: Promotion and Salary Increase

Last night, Lin Yingying went home and woke up the deputy manager of the human resources department in the middle of the night.

Recently, the HR department had been studying the appointment plan for the administrative group, and Lin Yingying had received a copy of the list.

Nominated for the position of head of the administrative group were Tian Yuan from the canteen department, Liu Kai, the deputy manager of the administrative group, Zheng Dahai from the security department, and Chu Feng.

Initially, Lin Yingying did not think much of Chu Feng at all.

For one thing, he was new, and for another, his educational background was in physical education at Binhai University, which had nothing to do with management.

Yet, Zheng Tuo, the general manager of the HR department, highly favoured Chu Feng.

Lin Yingying didn’t know what their relationship was, and had initially planned to use this as an opportunity to battle with these old-timers and nominate Liu Kai for the job.

Liu Kai was a graduate of the business management department at the university, and he had performed well over the years; Lin Yingying was very supportive of him.

But then, that incident happened last night.

Long Fei and Chu Feng had helped her and Ding Xue, and although she didn’t say much on the surface, she remembered the kindness in her heart.

Therefore, she gave her own suggestion, agreeing to have Chu Feng serve as the head of the administrative group.

At the same time, with the security team involved in theft, someone had to be held accountable.

She also agreed with the HR department’s view on the handling of Captain Zheng Dahai, transferring him to work in the warehouse at the factory.

The position of head of the security team would be taken by Long Fei.

Once the workday started in the morning, the HR department immediately sent the appointment notices to each department via email.

After opening the email, Zhang Li was unable to accept the reality for a long while.

She had been getting along very well with Liu Kai these past few days, and she thought it was a done deal that he would be the head of the administrative group.

To her surprise, the final pick turned out to be Chu Feng.

Wang Xiaoya had known it would be this way, so she wasn’t surprised that Chu Feng got the position.

What surprised her was that Long Fei became the head of the security team.

The two new security guards who hadn’t even completed their probation period were both promoted, causing a stir throughout the company.

Most people were still puzzled by Chu Feng’s appointment, since after all, Long Fei had saved the company’s half a million in assets and the president’s life, which everyone could understand.

In everyone’s eyes, Chu Feng seemed to have done nothing.

Soon, rumors started to fly.

Everyone said that Chu Feng must be the son of some major shareholder.

Zhang Li lay on her desk feeling incredibly awkward.

Wang Xiaoya looked at her and laughed, "Zhang the beauty, didn’t you bet with me last time about eating a French meal?"

Zhang Li stared at her and sat up, "Little Ya, are you or are you not my good sister?"

"Yes, I am? What’s wrong?"

Wang Xiaoya frowned.

Zhang Li exclaimed, "Did you know Chu Feng was going to be promoted?"

Wang Xiaoya avoided her gaze and pretended, "What are you joking about? Something as important as a personnel appointment, how would I know about that!"

After thinking it over, Zhang Li felt that what Wang Xiaoya had said made sense. They were just small receptionists; how could they know such things?

Pouting, she complained, "That settles it, last time I did my best to distance myself from Chu Feng. Now that he’s become the department head, he’s definitely going to find an opportunity to retaliate against me."

Wang Xiaoya comforted her, "Don’t worry, I don’t think Chu Feng is that kind of person. Besides, you two have talked before; he’s sure to remember this favor!"

Zhang Li sulked on the desk, "That bastard, he’s so deceptive. Tell me, was he pretending to be poor that day, just to get rid of me?"

Wang Xiaoya gave a dry laugh, "I wouldn’t know about that, but it seems to me he might have some background."

Zhang Li cried out in frustration, "It must be so! That bastard definitely tricked me on purpose. He slept with me, then posed as a poor loser, making me break up with him willingly. I wasn’t careful for a moment, and he succeeded!"

Wang Xiaoya didn’t know how to console her. Seeing Long Fei enter from outside, she quickly greeted him with excitement.

The two security guards at the door had already heard the news and knew that Long Fei was going to be their boss. They both saluted him, giving Long Fei a start.

He went over to the front desk, where Wang Xiaoya anxiously asked, "Did you receive the notices from the HR department?"

Long Fei, looking bewildered, said, "All I know is they told me to come in to work because there was an adjustment to my position, but they didn’t tell me anything else. You don’t think they’re going to fire me, do you?"

Wang Xiaoya burst into laughter, "Big dummy, you’ve made a significant contribution to the company; who would fire you! You’re getting a promotion, and the company is transferring Captain Zheng Dahai to the factory. They are preparing for you to take over his position!"

"Ah?"

Long Fei furrowed his brow, feeling slightly surprised.

Last night, Lin Yingying’s tone suggested she didn’t want to see him at all.

He had thought that this big CEO was going to fire him!

Long Fei touched his head and joyfully said, "That’s great news!"

Wang Xiaoya smiled, "Of course, it’s good news. You should head to the HR department now; Chu Feng just went up."

"Chu Feng is getting a promotion as well?"

Long Fei widened his eyes.

Wang Xiaoya said, "Of course. He’s going to take over as the head of the administrative team, which is one level higher than you!"

Long Fei laughed, "I knew it. No wonder this guy was so enthusiastic about coming to work this morning!"

He waved his hand and went upstairs.

Zhang Li sighed while looking at Wang Xiaoya, "You’ve got it good now. Your boyfriend is getting a promotion, a pay raise, and he has a good brother to cover for him. I’m so jealous of you!"

Wang Xiaoya blushed, "Nonsense, we’re just friends."

She organized some documents and reminded Zhang Li, "Don’t forget the French dinner after work tonight; you can’t back out on your word!"

"What the heck, your man gets a promotion and you’re making me foot the bill? Why do you have to bully me like this?"

Zhang Li pursed her lips, unwilling to admit it.

Wang Xiaoya pinched her and laughed, "I knew you’d renege. I won’t make bets with you again."

Zhang Li exclaimed, "Never mind the bet for now, let’s have Long Fei treat us tonight. I heard the company also gave him a bonus of five thousand yuan, let him take us out for a big meal."

"He has so little money, how could that be enough for a meal!"

Wang Xiaoya rolled her eyes at her.

Zhang Li snickered, "Nice, choosing romance over friendship, protecting him so quickly. If you won’t say anything, I will tell him. He stole my best friend away; treating us to a meal would be letting him off easy."

"You wouldn’t dare!"

Wang Xiaoya playfully tussled with her for a while.

Before long, Long Fei came down alone.

When he arrived, the meeting was nearly over.

There wasn’t much related to him, and after he re-signed his contract with the company and received a five thousand yuan bonus, he came down.

Chu Feng officially began working on the second floor, handing over duties with the former group leader, Chang Yugui.

Long Fei approached the front desk and, without waiting for Zhang Li to say anything, took the initiative to speak to both of them, "Little Ya, I got my bonus. Let’s go out for a meal after work tonight!"

Zhang Li laughed and responded, "That’s very considerate of you. Little Ya and I were just talking about this. Your wife is too stingy, she wouldn’t even let me bring it up to you!"

Wang Xiaoya blushed and pinched her, and Long Fei also turned red.

Wang Xiaoya said, "Let’s just have a meal then. After work, we’ll go for barbecue skewers!"

Since Long Fei had offered to treat them, she didn’t want to seem nosy by interfering. Besides, she wanted to save money for Long Fei wherever possible, and barbecue skewers weren’t going to cost much.

Zhang Li objected, "Barbecue skewers are so unhygienic. If we’re going to eat, let’s have a French feast. Otherwise, I’m not coming!"

Long Fei smiled and said generously, "Alright, you can choose the place."

"What’s all this choosing about? How much money do you even have? Those places are expensive and don’t fill you up, so why waste money?"

Wang Xiaoya, acting like a little housewife, scolded with a frown.

Long Fei laughed, "It’s alright, the money is for eating, not throwing away. As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters."

Zhang Li said excitedly, "Alright then, it’s decided. I’ll make a reservation online right now, and we can head there straight after work!"

"Suit yourself!"

Wang Xiaoya gave them both a look, feeling utterly exasperated by Long Fei’s disobedience.
