I was forced to start the second round because I was raised in poverty

Chapter 227 Our daughter is lying to us!

The property manager was slightly taken aback when he heard what Su Cheng said.

Which hothead dared to offend Su Cheng this time?
However... the property manager felt that this was unlikely.

Because he looked at Su Cheng's face, he didn't think she was the kind of person who was narrow-minded!

Moreover, the people under him are basically all the kind who know how to get things done.

It's possible for someone to clash with other companies, but it's highly unlikely that they would clash with Shengyue.

The first thing the property manager did before starting work was to recognize the logos of each department in the Geely Emgrand complex.

It's like a security guard in a government agency memorizing the license plate number of the leader's car.

You need to be able to recognize what each company's nameplate looks like.

"Team Leader Su, who are you talking about?"

"The new guy you just hired."

Newly recruited?
Is it Ye Haijun?

The property manager was only hired a day ago, and Ye Haijun was only given a trial period; no formal contract has been signed yet.

He offered Ye Haijun a salary of 4500 yuan, including meals and accommodation, but Ye Haijun did not live in the dormitory and did not require him to pay social insurance and housing fund contributions.

Moreover, Ye Haijun said that his daughter works in Jingzhou, so the job would be very stable. The property manager believed him, which is why he arranged for her to take a trial position.

However, since Su Cheng has spoken, the property manager should think twice.

K7 wasn't an absolute crushing force for K5, because the two weren't even from the same system, and Su Cheng had no authority over his property management.

But what does Su Cheng do?

consult!

This is one of their group's core businesses!

They are essentially people who offer advice and strategies to various industries.

He offended Su Cheng today, and tomorrow Su Cheng will write an email to headquarters saying that there are problems with the building's property management. Then headquarters will hold him accountable.

Although the hotel management and property management are under the Dihao Group, the headquarters basically doesn't investigate them seriously. Whatever Su Cheng says is a problem.

Why does this commercial building exist?

Isn't it because Shengyue Consulting is here?
The property manager immediately agreed: "Team Leader Su, don't worry, we will definitely not hire this person."

"No, no, no, you're hired, you should be hired."

Property Manager: ???
Wasn't it supposed to be dismissal?

Why did they hire him again?!

Su Cheng didn't know that Ye Haijun hadn't started working yet, but the property manager told him that he hadn't been hired.

That way, things can't be done.

If we were to directly dismiss or fire Ye Haijun, it would easily lead those two old men to believe that Ye Li had tipped them off and was deliberately targeting them, thus shifting their hatred towards Ye Li.

"I'll tell you how to do it..."

"Oh...oh...okay! Good!"

After hearing Su Cheng's plan, the property manager's brows gradually furrowed.

Mom!
This guy is really good at playing pranks!

I never expected him to be so ruthless!
"Team Leader Su, I understand!"

"Um..." the property manager hesitated, "Um, Team Leader Su, may I ask why you insist on forcing him to leave?"

"This question may be a bit presumptuous, but if you don't want to talk about it, then don't."

After thinking for a moment, Su Cheng selectively revealed some information to the property manager: "This person is a relative of my friend from his hometown. His presence in Jingzhou will only cause trouble for my friend."

The property manager suddenly realized.

So that’s it!
Su Cheng's friend was unable to come forward or take action himself, so he asked Su Cheng to do it on his behalf.

Somewhat like Cannon and Max from "New Police Story":
'I'll give you a million dollars to kill my dad.'

"I'll give you two million, and you kill my dad!!"

In fact, Ye Li was unaware of Su Cheng's actions.

"Understood, Team Leader Su. I'll arrange a meeting with him right away."

"Please take this cigarette; I can't accept it."

"It's okay, you can keep it for yourself."

"Oh, okay then, I'll accept it with some embarrassment."

After the property manager saw Su Cheng out, he waited 15 minutes before slowly walking into the lobby on the first floor with his hands behind his back.

When he and Ye Haijun made eye contact, the property manager waved to Ye Haijun and led him to his office.

"Manager, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Hmm, how was your half-day shift today? Can you handle the intensity of this guard duty?"

"It's acceptable, I have no health problems."

"If you can accept it, that's fine. My main concern is that you're too old and might not be able to accept it. As you can see, we mainly hire young people under 30, and we rarely hire people in their fifties."

Ye Haijun was a little confused about what the property manager meant. Did they not want to hire him anymore?

However, the property manager produced the labor contract the next second, so Ye Haijun didn't think much of it.

"Take a look at the contract first. If there are no problems, then sign it."

"Manager... I... I can't see the small print very clearly."

"Huh?" Upon hearing that Ye Haijun's eyesight was poor, the property manager was now really reluctant to hire him.

The Emperor Group represents prestige, and its employees are all young people in their twenties and thirties.

Old age.

My eyesight is poor.

This damages the image of the Geely Group.

The property manager agreed to let Ye Haijun work on a trial basis mainly because he had an honest and simple image that gave people a sense of security, and he also had the status of a retired official to back him up.

"alright."

"Since your eyesight is poor, I'll read it to you."

The property manager skipped the red tape and read aloud the version of the contract he had prepared specifically for Ye Haijun.

"If you don't believe me, you can take it back and show it to your daughter."

"I believe you, the manager would never lie to me."

"Ah."

"Manager, I'd like to ask, when do we get paid?"

"We pay on the 15th of every month, or earlier if it's a holiday. We will never be late."

"Let me double-check, is it 4500 per month?"

"Yes, the standard is 4500. You don't need to pay for the five social insurances and one housing fund. I can add another 480 for you, making it 4980 in total."

Four thousand nine hundred and eight?
That's equivalent to five thousand yuan.
Ye Haijun never believed that Ye Li's salary had been reduced to four or five thousand yuan.

A security guard in Jingzhou earns five thousand yuan a month.

Ye Li is a college graduate and a white-collar worker in Jingzhou. How could she have earned tens of thousands of yuan a month before, and then suddenly her income was reduced to four or five thousand yuan?
The property manager interrupted Ye Haijun's thoughts: "Also, I need to make it clear to you that this salary is after you become a full-time employee; you won't receive the full amount during your probationary period."

"Um, how long is the internship? How much is the internship salary?"

"1500."

What the hell?

1500?

Wouldn't that be lower than Old Zhang, who works as a sanitation worker on the main street in their village?

Old Zhang still makes 1600 a month.

An expression of disbelief suddenly appeared on Ye Haijun's face.

"It's not that I don't want to send it to you."

"There is such a rule."

"The internship period is one year, and we will give you 1500 yuan every month during this year."

"We will make up the difference to you all at once after you are officially hired."

"That means if you work a full year without making any mistakes, we will give you a lump sum payment of (4980-1500) x 12 = 41760 yuan by this time next year." "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Manager, I don't quite understand."

"Why did you promise me over four thousand, but only gave me a little over a thousand?" Ye Haijun had a lot of questions. "Why don't you just give me four thousand five hundred? You don't need to give me five thousand. Just give it to me on time every month."

"Hey, how come I can't explain it to you? These are the rules, you know?"

"What kind of rule is this? I've never seen a salary system like this before."

"Well, you've seen it now." The property manager had to explain why they were paying you this way. "We were worried you wouldn't stay long. What if you quit after a couple of days?"

“Didn’t I tell you? My daughter is in Jingzhou, so I’ll definitely have a long-term, stable job.” Ye Haijun had to bring up Ye Li’s identity. “Let me tell you, I’m a manager. My daughter works in this building… Her name is Ye Li. Do you know her? I think she’s the one you mentioned, the one from the Emperor Hotel…”

The property manager was completely bewildered as he listened.

Ye Li?

The property manager remembered this woman.

He exudes an elite and pragmatic aura; you can tell from his demeanor that he's a top executive at Geely.

It seems like it's been upgraded to K8 by now, right?

His position is even higher than Su Cheng's!
Ye Haijun actually said that Ye Li was his daughter?

They both have the surname Ye, and Ye Haijun can even say the name Ye Li.

After thinking about it, the property manager believed the credibility was as high as 99%.

In the past, the property manager would have been licking his boots by now.

After all, he can't win over Ye Li, but if he wins over Ye Li's father, he'll definitely mention when he gets home, "Oh, let me tell you, my daughter's property manager is very nice to me, blah blah blah," which is a way of indirectly winning over Ye Li.

But Su Cheng had already given him a heads-up beforehand.

By this time, the property manager had roughly figured out the whole picture.

So, Ye Li didn't want Ye Haijun to stay in Jingzhou, but as his daughter, she was too embarrassed to handle it herself, so she asked Su Cheng and him, an outsider, to do it.

Understood!
Changing the way salaries are paid was Su Cheng's idea, but targeting Ye Haijun was not Su Cheng's idea, but Ye Li's.

Then the situation is completely different.

If he handles this matter well, it won't just be a roundabout way of currying favor with Ye Li, but a direct way of currying favor with two big shots in Shengyue, Su Cheng and Ye Li!

Ye Haijun also thought that mentioning his daughter's name would be useful, as it would at least give his daughter some face.

These relationships are all close.

The manager and Ye Li might even be acquaintances.

"Ye Li? I don't know her, I've never heard of her."

"Let's discuss each issue separately."

“Our property management company isn’t going to run away. This building belongs to us, and we don’t owe you 30,000 or 40,000 yuan.”

"You can go to Jingzhou and ask around about our Emperor brand."

Ye Haijun was stunned.

He has no idea what Emperor Group is.

He simply couldn't accept this way of paying salaries.

"Don't rush to answer me. You can think about it first and compare the benefits and treatment of other companies."

"I dare say this: in terms of benefits and treatment, no property management company can compare to us. Forget about those hotels; they all outsource. We sign contracts directly with you."

"Alright, if there's nothing else, go back and think about it."

The property manager told Ye Haijun to take off his security guard uniform and then sent him away.

"Hey, wait a minute, take the contract with you and let your daughter see it when you get home."

The property manager is a sensible person.

The more confident and determined he seemed, the more he wanted Ye Haijun to sign the contract, the less suspicious Ye Haijun would become.

"Drive carefully, you know how to get there, right?"

"know."

"Okay, then I won't see you off."

Ye Haijun returned home dejectedly.

At her doorstep, Liu Wenhua was haggling with a craftsman carrying a tool bag.

"Hey, ma'am, we agreed on 400."

"300, young man. This lady comes from the countryside; she's had a tough life."

"Auntie, 300 really won't do. We already agreed on a price beforehand. You can't haggle like this. We're not having an easy time either."

"Young man, why are you being so stingy? You've earned quite a bit with 300."

"Where can I find that, ma'am? Changing the lock costs 400 yuan. We're already charging cost price here. We're just making a meager living."

"350, young man."

"Auntie, it really won't work. Look at your house in such a good location, why would you be short of fifty yuan?"

“This is not my house, it’s rented by my daughter.”

"It's not cheap to rent, so how about this, give me three hundred and eighty, and I won't haggle with you, ma'am."

"Three hundred and seventy, I guess."

The locksmith sighed helplessly and ultimately had no choice but to accept the old rural woman's haggling.

Liu Wenhua was pleased with herself for saving 30 yuan.

Thirty yuan can buy a lot of things.

Just buying cabbages, you could buy twenty or thirty heads.

She had already visited the nearby farmers' market during the day, and the prices were even cheaper than back home.

It's inconvenient to go up and down the stairs because there's no elevator.

"Hey young man, wait a minute." Ye Haijun stopped the locksmith who had finished packing up his tools.

"Sir, we really can't negotiate the price anymore."

"No, young man, I just want to ask, how much would the rent be for a place like this per month?"

"Huh?" The young locksmith thought for a moment, "In this area, it should cost at least five or six thousand yuan, right?"

Five or six thousand?!

Liu Wenhua and Ye Haijun both couldn't help but shrink their pupils.

So expensive!
This rent is more expensive than the mortgage on a commercial apartment back home.

Old Zhang's son bought a Mercedes-Benz, and the monthly payment is only six or seven thousand!
"Is there anything else, sir?"

"That's all, you can go now."

Ye Haijun and Liu Wenhua returned to their room.

Liu Wenhua handed the new key to Ye Haijun.

"I said, why did you change the lock? What are you going to do when your daughter comes back?" Ye Haijun first questioned Liu Wenhua about this crucial issue.

"Oh dear, this lock is too old, I can't open it no matter what I do."

"We only have one key, and you took it with you when you went out. I'm afraid to even touch the door when I go out, what if something gets stolen?"

"When my daughter comes back, I'll just give her a new key, won't that be fine?"

In just a few seconds, Liu Wenhua came up with three reasons, and had already subconsciously regarded herself as the owner of the house.

Ye Haijun didn't bring up the matter again, which was tantamount to tacitly acknowledging Liu Wenhua's decision to change the locks.

"Did your daughter call?"

“I didn’t call. She hasn’t come back since last night and I haven’t contacted her at all,” Liu Wenhua said angrily. “This girl has really grown up and I can’t control her anymore.”

"Hey old man, do you think this house is really worth five or six thousand? It doesn't even have an elevator!"

The two remained silent for a while, neither of them speaking, but they had already reached a tacit understanding.

The young locksmith probably wouldn't lie.

In other words.

Even though this building is an old, dilapidated one without an elevator, the rent is still five or six thousand yuan a month!
Ha ha.

They knew Ye Li was lying to them!
