Chapter 178 – Maybe the company’s boss is relatively young and doesn’t stick to convention (3)
Shortly after the receptionist left the conference room, a woman dressed in business attire came in. Ruan Xia quickly stood up.
“It’s okay. Sit down please.” The woman introduced herself, “Hello, I’m the company’s HR Manager, Luo Mi.”
Ruan Xia suddenly questioned if she had been too out of touch from society for too long. Were all managers this polite during interviews nowadays? She even addressed her with 您…
(T/N: Luo Mi uses the respectful you (您) instead of the normal you (你).)
Sure enough, it was essential that she go back to work. Otherwise, if she continued her indolent lifestyle for a few more years, she would have no idea if the interview process completely changed.
Fortunately, the next part of the interview was similar to her past interviews.
“I see that on your profile you wrote that you’re married?”
The difficult part was coming up. Ruan Xia knew that many employers would ask questions like, “Are you married?” If you said yes, they would ask, “How many children do you have?” “Are you planning on having more” and so on.
“Yes, I’m married.” Ruan Xia didn’t know if she was imagining it, but it looked like the HR Manager froze in surprise when she confirmed it.
The HR manager asked, “Do you have any children?”
Ruan Xia: “Yes, he’s already in kindergarten.” Not waiting for the HR manager to ask more questions, she proactively offered, “My husband and I don’t plan on having another child.”
The HR Manager had a faint smile. “Okay then. What’s your salary requirements? You can state an amount.”
What did she mean by that? A brain hole opened up. She couldn’t mean that they would pay her whatever she asked, right? Haha, this company was so interesting.
“What’s the usual salary for this position?” Ruan Xia asked in a reserved manner.
The HR Manager thought it over. “We don’t have a rigid salary amount. If you have the ability to back it up, you can take the initiative to request the salary you want. Miss Ruan, do you think a salary of 10,000 yuan is suitable?”
10… 10,000 yuan?

Ruan Xia widened her eyes. She had thought it over before coming here. Positions in the overseas department were very popular. But, she was just interviewing for an ordinary office worker position. At most, the salary should only be a few thousand yuan.
The HR Manager looked at her again. “If you think that’s not suitable, I can discuss with the company’s leader…”
“No, no.” Ruan Xia hurriedly waved her hand. “I don’t think it’s unsuitable.”
The HR Manager seemed to sigh in relief. She added, “The bonus is tied to the month’s performance. At minimum, there’s 5,000 yuan. There’s no upper limit.”
Ruan Xia gasped. This meant that the salary, plus bonus and various subsidies might total up to 20,000 yuan.
OMG! What kind of unicorn company was this?

When Ruan Xia walked out of the company, she was still dazed. She didn’t notice that the HR Manager escorted her to the entrance and even pressed the elevator button for her.
Ruan Xia took a sip of water when she got to the parking garage and finally pulled herself out of her daze. She couldn’t wait to send Song Tingshen a WeChat message: “I passed the interview. The HR Manager said if there’s no problem on my end, I can start work next Monday! Song Tingshen, guess the salary! When I add up the salary and everything else, it can get up to 20,000 yuan a month. Ahh! Am I going to be rich?!”
Although she was already rich right now, the thought that she had gone on an interview for a job that pays 20,000 yuan made Ruan Xia feel like she was dreaming.
20,000 yuan!
What was up with her luck? She had actually found a high-paying job with a low workload and it was near her home!
God must be giving her good luck because he was feeling sorry for her for becoming an instant mom as soon as she transmigrated here!
Translator Ramblings: Even if China has laws against discriminating against married women, people with children, etc, I doubt think they’re enforced very well. I was talking with Fringe the other day, and she mentioned that in China there are companies who illegally have a schedule based on female employees’ age / years of marriage / seniority and determine when they’re allowed to get pregnant. If someone accidently gets pregnant, they’d be pressured by the other female employees to get an abortion. If they don’t agree to it, they’ll be ostracized by their peers.
Unrelated, my second guess is that the boss of this company is one of the original owner’s admirers and that’s why this job is tailor-made for her and the company’s employees are working so hard to get her to accept this job.
