Chapter 234: Salary Increase for All
Xie Qingyi and Yan Lan were so angry they almost vomited blood. They had been beaten so badly, so why were they the ones who were to be sent to jail?
Xie Qingyi angrily shouted, "Gu Xunjing, don't go too far! I am the wife of the Zhan family!"
Gu Xunjing raised an eyebrow slightly and said in a roguish tone, "You yourself said you are the wife of the Zhan family, what does this have to do with my Gu family?"
Xie Qingyi was so angry that her face turned green. She pointed at Gu Xunjing, trembling with rage, and then said unwillingly, "Listen up, you sellers. As long as you tell the truth in front of the police that this woman started it, I will give each of you 100,000... no... 50,000 yuan."
Xie Qingyi originally wanted to say 100,000, but after looking at the number of employees, there were more than 20, which would amount to more than 2 million.
So she quickly stopped herself and changed her mind at the last minute, offering 50,000. But even at 50,000, it would still cost over a million, which was painful to even think about. But to prove herself, she was determined to go for it! She considered it an act of charity for these lowly people.
Gu Xunjing almost burst out laughing. He had seen people add things to their names before, but he had never seen someone so quick to change their mind.
Yan Lan also pressed on, saying, "As long as you tell the truth, the 50,000 yuan is yours. It will take you a long time to earn 50,000 yuan, so you'd better think it through."
At this moment, Yan Lan's hair was disheveled, and Yang Huirong had pulled out a handful of hair, making her wince in pain.
I never expected Yang Huirong to be so barbaric. I must take revenge on her and make her go to jail.
The shop assistants exchanged glances. They weren't foolish enough to lose their jobs for 50,000 yuan. The pay and benefits here were so good; they knew the difference between a full meal and a full stomach every day.
Then someone took the lead and said, "It was clearly you two who came in and verbally abused our customer, Mrs. Jiang, and even hit her first. Mrs. Jiang only fought back because you were injured. You can't punish Mrs. Jiang by law just because you were injured."
"The law doesn't determine who is at fault based on the severity of their injuries. It determines sentencing based on the facts. We are all witnesses, proving that Mrs. Jiang acted in self-defense."
"Two perpetrators couldn't beat one, which is a kind of 'lower dimension' attack. If I were them, I wouldn't dare to say anything, for fear of being laughed at by others."
The jewelry store employees' words infuriated Xie Qingyi even more. What happened to money? Were these people idiots?
Gu Xunjing clapped lightly and said to the shop assistants, "That's very well said. Starting this month, everyone will get a 20% raise."
The shop assistants were so happy they danced around, their smiles as bright as blooming flowers.
This reward, when calculated over a year, is much more than Xie Qingyi's 50,000 yuan. The boss is really generous.
Xie Qingyi was so angry that her face contorted; she was truly despicable.
At this moment, a quick-witted person shouted, "Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss and mother-in-law!"
Gu Xunjing turned around and looked at the shop assistant, saying, "Not bad, you're good at talking. You can add thirty percent."
The others also bowed and said, "Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss and mother-in-law!"
Yang Huirong was somewhat shocked by the scene.
Gu Xunjing nodded slightly and said, "They're all good. Give them all a 30% raise."
"Yay, that's great, I'm so happy."
All the employees were extremely happy and the atmosphere was as joyful as if it were Chinese New Year.
Only Xie Qingyi and Yan Lan looked ashen-faced.
She just deliberately humiliated Jiang Qianhui in front of Gu Xunjing, saying she was the woman his son had ruined. As a man, he should feel ashamed and distance himself from Jiang Qianhui, but what is he doing now?
It's one thing to support Yang Huirong, but to have even the employees call her the boss's mother-in-law and give them raises—what does this mean? Is he slapping her in the face with his actions? He says he doesn't care about Jiang Qianhui's past, but she's clearly someone the Zhan family doesn't want, so why does he treat her like a treasure?
Xie Qingyi said angrily, "You sellers deserve to be lowly servants. Let me tell you, you've offended the Zhan Group, and you're not going to have a good life from now on."
Gu Xunjing sneered, "They are employees of the Gu Group. No matter how powerful your Zhan Group is, you have no right to manage the employees of other groups. You only know how to talk big, it's really pathetic."
Xie Qingyi was furious and about to explode. Yan Lan saw that the situation was not going well and didn't want to get beaten up again.
So he advised Xie Qingyi, "Mom, let's go back first. They outnumber us and we shouldn't fight a losing battle."
"You dare to lay a hand on me? Are you just going to let this go?"
"Mom, if we stay any longer, we'll only suffer more."
Xie Qingyi was unwilling, but she had no choice but to accept reality.
She suddenly walked up to Yang Huirong and said, "Don't be too smug. Even if Gu Xunjing is blinded by greed and has taken a liking to Jiang Qianhui, not all the adults in the Gu family are dead. Gu Xunjing's mother is no pushover; she's always been arrogant and haughty. Jiang Qianhui is divorced and infertile. I just don't believe she'll accept this 'used shoe' and step into the Gu family!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Huirong slapped Xie Qingyi again, her fist landing squarely on Xie Qingyi's eye socket, instantly turning Xie Qingyi into a panda.
Yan Lan quickly helped Xie Qingyi up, feigning arrogance.
"Don't be too smug, we'll be back."
Yan Lan shouted, then quickly helped Xie Qingyi out.
Gu Xunjing deliberately kicked a chair, the noise causing Yan Lan to scream. The two of them then quickly slipped away, looking quite disheveled.
"Cowardly as a mouse, yet he tries to make tough statements like others; he's just a laughingstock."
She felt incredibly satisfied after giving Xie Qingyi and Yan Lan a good beating. She had tolerated their behavior for years since her daughter married into the Zhan family. She had long wanted to teach them a lesson, and now she truly felt relieved.
But thinking about Xie Qingyi's words before leaving, I couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Her daughter is divorced and unable to have children. Even if Gu Xunjing likes her daughter, will his mother agree?
His father also couldn't accept that his daughter was infertile, after all, Gu Xunjing was the only son in the family.
The thought of it made her extremely anxious.
……
Jiang family
Yang Huirong looked sullen and unhappy as soon as she opened the door.
Jiang Zhengguo noticed the injury on Yang Huirong's face. He frowned and asked, "Huirong, what happened to you? Why is your face injured?"
Yang Huirong calmly said, "I had a fight with Xie Qingyi."
What? You got into a fight with Xie Qingyi?
Jiang Zhengguo frowned and said, "You went to the Zhan family to see Xie Qingyi again? You didn't smash up their house again, did you? Although it's satisfying to smash up their house, you have to pay compensation. Did you forget that you had to pay a billion last time?"
