Chapter 2068: Chapter 1971: A Windfall from Heaven
"If your wife is willing, she can work at my place, help me organize and clean the house, manage the garden’s plants, and handle three meals a day. I’m just one person, adding your couple and child makes four. I’ll pay your wife four thousand a month, and cover all food and lodging expenses."
"As for your work, I may not be able to introduce you to any great positions, but I think Huo girl’s company could provide you a job opportunity, right, Huo girl?"
Originally, Huo Sining just planned to offer some reward to the couple and be done with it. She did not expect Bai Buzhi to make such a decision, but seeing Bai Buzhi’s gaze fixed on Dong Jing, unwilling to look away, it seemed he genuinely took a liking to the child. Thus, she couldn’t refuse.
Huo Sining’s lips pursed slightly and she smiled, saying, "No problem, Mr. Dong, you can first talk about your current profession."
Dong Chengli did not expect such a dramatic turn of events, immediately becoming ecstatic. He glanced at his equally excited wife beside him and eagerly said, "I am currently engaged in operations work, serving as the manager of the operations department in our company, which specializes in real estate development."
Huo Sining nodded and said, "I own several companies, but none are closely related to real estate. However, my husband’s company does have real estate projects."
"I can give you two choices: one is to join my company, where there is an operations department, though it may differ from real estate development somewhat. If you join, I can’t offer you a manager position; at most, you’ll be a supervisor. The salary won’t be lower than your current one."
"The other is to go to my husband’s company. I can promise you a position there, but his company is large, with more rules than mine. You’ll have a three-month probation period, and if all goes well during that time, you’ll be formalized."
Dong Chengli understood Huo Sining, and certainly knew who Huo Sining’s husband was. Hearing Huo Sining mention Gu Xu’s company now, he was dumbfounded, feeling as if he was hit with a big pie.
It’s not just any company; it’s Shengtang. Even if the position Huo Sining mentioned isn’t in the head office, but a small project in one of Shengtang’s real estate companies, it far exceeds Dong Chengli’s current understanding.
At least, before today, he never imagined that one day he could have the opportunity to work in such an enterprise as Shengtang.
It’s not that Dong Chengli looks down on Huo Sining’s Beauty Group, but he indeed knows little about jewelry, perfumes, antiques, and funds. Although Dong Chengli doesn’t know much, he knows Huo Sining’s companies are involved in high-end luxury sectors, entirely unrelated to his prior experience in real estate development. If he did enter Huo Sining’s company, he might have to start over and may not quickly adapt.
Therefore, Dong Chengli feels sticking to his expertise is better, and Shengtang Group is undoubtedly the best choice, without any contention.
Even if joining Shengtang means a lower salary than now, he would not hesitate.
After all, Shengtang’s prospects are there. If he can join Shengtang, his former colleagues would certainly envy and covet him.
"That’s really great, Miss Huo, Mr. Bai, thank you so much. Our couple is willing to go to the Imperial Capital with you two, as long as Jing’er can have good development, it’s the best choice for our couple."
Without hesitation, Dong Chengli accepted and expressed his willingness to try Shengtang Company.
Huo Sining had no objection, immediately calling Gu Xu’s side. Gu Xu responded promptly, almost within three minutes after Huo Sining’s call, arranging Dong Chengli’s position.
"A week later, report to Shengtang Era. Someone will guide you. They’re short of an operations supervisor there. After you go, there’s a three-month internship period, ten thousand two hundred monthly, and if formalized, salary increases by twenty percent. How about it?"
"Sure, absolutely sure!"
If he passes the internship period, monthly wages would almost reach fifteen thousand. Plus, his wife’s monthly income means they could net save twenty thousand monthly in the Imperial Capital, which feels like a dream. Dong Chengli hadn’t expected wages could suddenly rise so much. The couple exchanged a glance, feeling disbelief.
Understand, they currently earn ten thousand monthly in Fucheng, but owing to household expenses, mortgage, car loan, and children’s tuition, they hardly save anything each month.
Now, suddenly, there’s an opportunity allowing them to quickly leap to becoming middle-class families, and neither Dong Chengli nor Liu Xiuping would be unwilling. Previous doubts concerning Huo Sining and Bai Buzhi evaporated entirely, now filled with excitement and thrill. If it weren’t for Huo Sining and Bai Buzhi being present, the couple might have jumped for joy.
Liu Xiuping was subtly fearful yet grateful. If it hadn’t been Jing’er’s prank of picking up Huo Sining’s business card, if her husband hadn’t spotted the card in their son’s hand, or hadn’t questioned the card’s authenticity, such a chance altering her family’s fate might have been pushed out by her.
Liu Xiuping’s heart was a mix for a moment but quickly became overshadowed by delight.
With confirmation, Dong Chengli and Liu Xiuping, almost without hesitation, handed in their resignations to their companies, then began considering handling their current house.
Since Gu Xu’s appointment for Dong Chengli was within a week, Dong Chengli needed to advance to the Imperial Capital for work. As for Liu Xiuping, no rush; both Bai Buzhi and Huo Sining remained in Fucheng, allowing her to slowly settle Fucheng matters before joining Huo Sining and Bai Buzhi to return to the Imperial Capital.
Of course, such household matters of the Dong family, Huo Sining didn’t plan to intervene. Seeing the couple agreed to let Dong Jing assist the Cultural Relics Bureau, she breathed a sigh of relief and didn’t linger at Dong’s home. She took Dong Jing to the archaeological site.
On that side, Zhou Shitao and others, upon knowing Huo Sining found suitable candidates, were already waiting.
The critical part of archaeological work is finding the entrance. Once opened, the remaining work involves tedious sorting of relics. But before that, ensuring the complete and unscathed opening of the tomb entrance is key.
Now, Huo Sining faces this issue, with the immediate task of breaking the formation.
