Chapter 36 Expected Salary?

The identical twin sisters at the reception desk indeed had the intended effect. As soon as Huang Sibo entered, he was completely shocked.

Could a company that could afford such receptionists be short of money?

Impossible!

Unfortunately, this company had high requirements, and he couldn't get in.

Otherwise, it would be so prestigious to tell others that he worked at Shenhua Haojing, and the company's receptionists were a pair of identical twin sisters!

Huang Sibo took another look at the workstations inside.

Continued to be shocked!

These office desks were so big!

Did this place not need to pay rent, or why were the office desks so far apart?

You could almost play badminton here!

On the desks were two large, high-end monitors that looked expensive.

Next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, there was a row of delicate plants, and an aunt was carefully taking care of them.

Huang Sibo felt like he had stepped into some idol drama.

That's how the companies in those dramas looked like.

But he had never seen it in reality.

Again, it's a pity that this company has high requirements, and he couldn't get in.

Huang Sibo went to the reception desk, reported his name with the mindset of going through the motions since he was already here.

"Please wait a moment; I'll notify the interviewer right away."

The beautiful receptionist on the left had a full smile, with a 100-point service attitude and a 100-point healing effect.

"Please follow me."

The receptionist stood up with a smile and led Huang Sibo inside.

To Huang Sibo's surprise, the company was quite spacious, with not many people.

In such situations, one would instinctively worry, feeling like they might have encountered a scam.

But looking at the furnishings in the company, it was clearly not a scam.

What scammer would be willing to invest so much?

Scammers need to consider the input and output too. How many people would they have to scam to make up for all this?

So, this was a genuinely wealthy company, not pretending.

This was a new company opened by a tycoon, probably to capitalize on the trend of cloud gaming.

Huang Sibo felt like he had grasped the truth of the matter.

Upon entering the reception room, a young man sat on the sofa.

He had a delicate appearance and was dressed in a suit and leather shoes.

Huang Sibo instantly felt inferior.

This outfit looked even more expensive than those he had seen on investment bankers!

He couldn't even estimate the price of this custom suit, but it was definitely beyond his imagination.

Huang Sibo had previously interviewed at several gaming companies, but they were all quite casual.

The interviewers were also wearing shorts and vests, working at their stations one second and pulled into the conference room for an interview the next.

But this place was different. This interviewer was definitely not an ordinary person.

Huang Sibo couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Huang Sibo, right? Please have a seat. I'm Pei Qian, the Owner of Tenda Network Technology Co., Ltd."

The young man across from him stood up and shook hands with Huang Sibo.

Huang Sibo was flattered, his voice trembling a little: "Hello, Pei."

"Don't be too restrained; it's just a casual chat. Come, have some tea." Pei Qian casually pushed a pure silver teacup in front of Huang Sibo.

Huang Sibo looked at the casually placed pure silver tea set on the table, unable to estimate its value.

Although he had never met Pei Qian, it didn't stop Huang Sibo's imagination.

So young and talented!

Both games were a great success!

Moreover, the way he casually drank tea from a pure silver teacup wasn't something he could fake!

He truly didn't care about money!

It seemed like this pure silver teacup was no different from a plastic cup in Pei Qian's eyes.

This made Huang Sibo instinctively feel a sense of unease.

"Tell me about your work experience." Pei Qian smiled.

Huang Sibo felt his heart beating fast and his mouth dry.

But he forced himself to suppress this nervousness and roughly went over his resume.

As Pei Qian sipped tea and listened, a faint smile appeared on his face, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Huang Sibo's heart skipped a beat.

It must be that my resume is too poor, and President Pei is laughing at me in his heart!

Is he laughing at my overconfidence, thinking I have the audacity to come here for an interview with such qualifications?

Huang Sibo's face turned slightly red as he reluctantly finished his self-introduction, wishing he could leave immediately.

"Very good," Pei Qian said with a smile after listening to Huang Sibo's self-introduction.

Very good?

Huang Sibo almost thought he had heard wrong.

Was this sarcasm?

Huang Sibo had been working at his previous company for half a year, basically doing odd jobs under Old Liu, and his work was the most basic manual labor.

With this resume, it would have been better not to mention it at all.

President Pei actually said "very good"?

What does that mean, is he trying to humiliate me?

Huang Sibo didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Seeing Huang Sibo's expression, Pei Qian knew that he must have misunderstood and quickly continued.

"What I mean is that your qualifications are very suitable for our company's requirements. When can you start working?"

"Uh... the day after tomorrow?"

Huang Sibo randomly picked a time.

After all, for someone as unimportant as him, leaving would be as simple as walking out, and there wouldn't be any formalities or handovers involved.

"Very good, then come to work the day after tomorrow, complete your resignation process, and we'll sign the formal labor contract."

"So, what do you have in mind for your salary and benefits?" Pei Qian asked.

Salary and benefits...

Huang Sibo received the lowest salary at his previous company, 1500 per month, without any social security or housing fund.

With this money, he could barely make a living and save nothing.

If he could really work here, the working environment alone would be a huge gain.

As for salary, it would be fine if it was on par with before.

But Huang Sibo also felt that with a job change, the salary should go up a bit, right?

He already had half a year of work experience, so adding another 400 yuan wouldn't be too much, right?

So... make it an even 2000?

Thinking of this number, Huang Sibo felt that he was asking for a lot.

However, since it was brought up.

Huang Sibo tentatively said, "2000 a month... would that be okay? President Pei, don't worry, I will be responsible and diligent in my work, and I will never complain about working overtime!"

Pei Qian sighed slightly and shook his head.

Huang Sibo's heart skipped a beat.

What, did I ask for too much?

Well, it is a bit much...

Huang Sibo could only wait for Pei Qian to bargain, thinking that as long as the final price wasn't lower than it is now, he could accept it.

Pei Qian started counting on his fingers, "Let me do the math for you."

Huang Sibo nervously swallowed, nodding his head, knowing that this was a common tactic for bargaining.

Pei Qian organized his thoughts.

"Renting a house in Jingzhou would cost you about 1000 yuan a month, which is reasonable, right?"

"Eating out, including treating others, costs around 800 yuan per month. That's not too much, right? Even college students have more living expenses than that!"

"I also need to buy at least two or three new clothes every month, which costs around 300 yuan. That's reasonable, isn't it?"

"Daily expenses such as utilities and other miscellaneous expenses would add up to another 200 yuan. That's not too much, right?"

"Transportation costs alone would be at least 100 yuan per month, and that's a conservative estimate."

"If I were to date someone, and to buy my girlfriend some makeup or a lipstick for holidays or special occasions, I'd need to set aside another 300 yuan per month."

"Young people can't just spend all their money, we need to save at least 500 yuan per month."

"If you add all of that up, it's over 3,000 yuan, and that's after taxes."

"Our company follows the national policy and fully pays all five types of social insurance and housing fund for employees. With all that in mind, you'll need at least 3,500 yuan before taxes just to meet your basic living expenses!"

"Moreover, our company has promised to provide our employees with a salary that's higher than the industry standard, so let's add another 500 yuan on top of that. That's reasonable, right?"

"How does 4,000 yuan per month sound to you?"
