Chapter 1107 Finalizing Salary

Miss Yuan's innate optimism and happiness, which she can spread to those around her, is a natural talent.

Although she usually looks like a demon, this is precisely a manifestation of her personal charm, which is why she was able to integrate into this small group so quickly, and even now she can subtly occupy the center position.

Actually, if you think about it the other way around, it's not just her small group; she can integrate into almost any normal, positive group. It's not that they are good, but that Miss Yuan herself is a very good person.

Of course, Miss Yuan would only observe and never touch those cunning and scheming cliques.

Especially in small groups of girls, because from childhood to adulthood, Miss Yuan has found that she seems to have a bit of trouble getting along with women.

It's fine when it's one-on-one, the two people can get along well, but once the number of people in a small group that consists of all girls increases to two or more, then the nature of the small group will change.

She experienced this kind of thing quite often when she was in school. Afterwards, people would gossip, talk badly about you behind your back, and even spread rumors. In college, having several group chats in one dormitory was nothing.

So, from childhood to adulthood, Miss Yuan had female friends, but she never joined a small group of girls.

On the contrary, she thrives in groups with a lot of boys, or even all boys, and she prefers this style of interaction.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the group now has two women, the class monitor and He Xiaoyue. If it weren't for the three men, Lin Mo, Chuan Mei, and Wang Chu, Miss Yuan would never have joined.

Even now, if Lin Mo and the other two men suddenly disappeared, this small group wouldn't last long relying solely on Miss Yuan, Class Monitor He Xiaoyue, and the other two women.

Miss Yuan is like an energetic little tiger in the karaoke bar, she transforms into a karaoke queen!

The others also sang several songs, all in high spirits. They sang and laughed for several hours before finally leaving. But instead of going straight home, they had another barbecue for a late-night snack. As the saying goes:

A small reward slips into my pocket, a little joy fills my eyes. Don't say the meager profit is insignificant; let's go to the fireplace and get drunk.

The aroma of grilled skewers wafts in the evening breeze, while ice-cold beer cools you to the bone. Life's pleasures should not be pursued too frequently; a full stomach dispels all worries.

In any case, everyone ended up slightly tipsy and walked home with unsteady steps.

Life is never the same no matter who you live with. To become good friends, you must have similar temperaments and personalities. Only such people can live comfortably together.

Meanwhile, in the city, Liu Ruyan was at her cousin Su He's house. After dinner, the two didn't chat idly this time, but instead discussed some hotel matters together.

This was Su He's first time doing something like this, so she was a little unsure and called Liu Ruyan over to discuss it together.

"Ruyan, look, this is the previous payroll for the hotel staff. I'm a little unsure about how much to pay. Could you take a look?" Su He handed an A4 sheet of paper to Liu Ruyan and asked.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan took the report, which showed the salaries of the hotel's previous employees. She looked at it for a while and then said, "The salaries of the waiters and supervisors do not need to be adjusted. Just keep them as they were before. The base salary is not high, but fortunately there is commission."

The department manager's salary is a bit off; 15,000 is too high, considering they also get commissions. Let's lower it to 10,000, with a maximum of 12,000. And the director's salary is 35,000? This hotel seems to have had some shady dealings before. Sure enough, after observing for a while, someone started doing some underhanded things. Let's lower it to 20,000. If that doesn't work, we can promote one of the previous department managers; they'd be very willing.

As for you and Ding Lei, you are considered general managers, so your salaries will be calculated based on your annual salary. As far as I know, hotel general managers earn hundreds of thousands, and some even over a million, annually. Although our hotel was quite good before, meeting the standards of a star-rated hotel, it is, after all, reopening, so our salaries will have to be lowered for now. Let's see how things go. For now, we'll set it at 45 for you and 50 for Ding Lei, with all other benefits remaining unchanged.

This will also be a good opportunity to assess Ding Lei's abilities. If he's capable, his salary will naturally increase in the future.

Su He's annual salary is 450,000 yuan, and Ding Lei's is 500,000 yuan. These seem like a lot, but if converted to monthly salary, Su He's monthly salary is only 37,500 yuan, and Ding Lei's monthly salary as general manager is only a little over 41,000 yuan.

Previously, a director could earn a salary of 35,000, but that has definitely been reduced. However, times have changed. The salaries of the lowest-level waiters and supervisors remain unchanged, so the system can still be set up.

The salaries on this payroll start from the department manager and above, and with Liu Ruyan's shrewdness and experience, she could tell at a glance that there was definitely something fishy going on, but it wasn't a big problem.

While Su He and Ding Lei's monthly salaries may seem disproportionate to their positions as general managers, both of them have hidden income.

The logistics and procurement department managed by Su He is a very lucrative place, and Ding Lei, who is in charge of hotel operations and personnel changes, also has considerable power. With power comes profit, that's for sure.

“Okay, then let’s do it your way. I’ll implement it according to this standard tomorrow. But I’ll have to tell my brother about the annual salary you’re paying me tomorrow, after all, you’re the boss!” Su He said with a smile.

She knew perfectly well that this was just a formality. Although Liu Ruyan and Lin Mo were not yet married, Liu Ruyan was already in charge of making the decision, and Lin Mo couldn't possibly object.

"Tch, I, the boss's wife, have personally given the order, and you still don't trust me?" Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him and said reproachfully.

Upon hearing this, Su He raised her hand and said, "Stop. When we're working, we should use titles. You're not the boss's wife yet, so we should keep public and private matters separate. I'll definitely manage the money well and make sure the purchasing department doesn't go too far."

"Don't worry, your identity was revealed by your younger brother on the very first day. Your logistics staff will gradually find out. Just because of this identity, they will restrain themselves a lot."

"Of course, unless they bribe you and make you greedy with them, so you'd better withstand the test!" Liu Ruyan said with a smile.

Su He scoffed, "Are you kidding me? This is my younger brother's hotel, so it's mine. Trying to bribe me with my things? Which official wouldn't withstand such a test?"

Of course, let's make this clear first: what I earn through my own hard work, is mine!

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him: "I know, I arranged for you to work in finance and logistics so that you could earn more. My brother and I would never mistreat our own people, would we?"

You should know that Su He is not only Lin Mo's cousin, but also her best friend, Liu Ruyan. The two are very close, so of course she would think of her own people when such a good thing happens.

Don't say that positions like finance and logistics must be filled by trustworthy people. Even if we consider relationships, such a good opportunity wouldn't be given to outsiders. After all, it's all the same who benefits, so naturally, people will go first to their own people.

"Hmph, that's more like it!" Su He said with satisfaction.
