Why is This Troublemaker So Damn Rich?

Yang Hui was in a meeting, unaware that his email had once again kicked up a storm of discussion within the company.

"Is Yang Hui that badass? He sends out an email like that and isn’t afraid the boss will kill him for it?"

"Afraid? This isn’t the first time he’s done something like this. Have you seen the boss do anything to him?"

"What’s the deal? Is he connected or something? Does he have a powerful backer?"

"I don’t know, but just think about it. It’s not like this is the first time he’s challenged company policy."

"Yeah, clocking out right on the dot, provoking Cai Miao, offending Zhang Li... It seems like he’s done everything that no one else dares to do."

"That’s nothing. He’s also pursuing Shen Meng. The two of them are openly appearing together as a couple now. Have you seen the company make a single move?"

"I heard he even slammed the boss’s desk so hard it left a dent."

"That’s an exaggeration, right? His desk is made of sandalwood. It must’ve been hit with something hard. The boss must be sick about it."

Han Chao was at the office today, and hearing all this gossip, he couldn’t help but recall the dinner with President Tian. ’It looks like the boss is just tolerating him,’ he thought. ’The reason is probably President Tian. Does Yang Hui have some special connection to him?’

After laying out the work for the week, he told the others to leave, keeping Ji Kun behind. Zhu Jing opened her mouth, as if wanting to say something.

"Zhu Jing, you stay behind as well." "Ji Kun, is all the equipment for the store’s sales livestream ready?"

"Don’t worry, Boss. I had it all arranged last night. I’ll head over to the store to oversee things in a bit. I’ll make sure nothing goes wrong."

"Okay. And it’s not just about the store. Once you’re there, connect with the relevant person in charge at the department store. We’re using their online livestreaming platform this time, so we need to avoid any unforeseen problems."

After finalizing the arrangements, he let Ji Kun leave first.

"Boss, I... I..."

"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you stammering?"

Ji Kun glanced at Zhu Jing, then said in a low voice, "Boss, June is the company’s salary review month. Could you help fight for us on this? Our base salaries are too low. The other teams’ base salaries are over 1,000 more than ours."

’Salary review month?’

Yang Hui had only just arrived and wasn’t aware of this. From Ji Kun’s explanation, he learned that June was always the month for salary reviews at Futong Commerce. The pay raise plans were finalized this month and implemented starting in July.

He had looked into his team members’ base salaries when he first joined the company. They were indeed very low; some were only 6,000 a month. This was mainly because Airex’s performance had been terrible in recent years, so Li Yang had never given the team a raise. At the same time, they couldn’t earn any bonuses. If Yang Hui hadn’t shown up, some of them would have been at their breaking point.

He thought about the compensation packages he had set for the employees at his own company, Yanghe Commerce. Starting base salaries were 10,000, which was almost as much as a manager’s income here at Futong Commerce.

At Yanghe Commerce, an employee with a few years of seniority, even without a promotion to supervisor, could easily go from P7 to P9 and earn a salary of 13,000—higher than a manager’s income at Futong Commerce now.

Furthermore, Yanghe Commerce’s bonus policies were also better than Futong Commerce’s. Looking at his team now, he realized they were truly having a hard time.

"Let me look into the situation, and then I’ll go fight for you."

Yang Hui didn’t try to dodge the issue. He had always believed that fighting for his subordinates’ interests was one of his most important duties.

Ji Kun left, giddy with happiness. This boss was completely different from the previous ones. It wasn’t that they hadn’t brought it up with their past bosses; the response was always: "With performance this bad, how dare you ask for a raise?"

They felt so wronged. Was their poor performance really their fault for not working hard enough? The decline in brand power was the most important reason, wasn’t it? In fact, the Airex supervisors worked even harder than other teams.

"Boss, you just got here. Why are you taking this on? It’s not good for you. Besides, in this company, not even President Shan has any power over salary reviews. I heard President Li decides everything himself."

"It’s fine. If President Shan can’t handle it, I’ll go to President Li. I think you all work hard enough, and now your work is showing results. You deserve a raise."

Zhu Jing’s crossed legs formed a pale, graceful arc beneath her silk hip-hugging skirt. The subtle pattern on the hem trembled slightly in the air-conditioned breeze, like a hesitant, unspoken boundary.

As Yang Hui’s gaze unintentionally swept over the skin above her knees, Zhu Jing happened to lean forward to grab some documents from the desk—

The silk fabric tightened with her forward movement, revealing the faint, scalloped edge of lace in the shadows at the top of her thigh, a secret echo of the openwork embroidery on her shirt cuffs.

As Yang Hui hastily averted his eyes, the side of his water glass reflected the brief dilation of his pupils, which quickly contracted when Zhu Jing looked at him.

A slight blush appeared on Zhu Jing’s face. ’He really thinks he was being subtle,’ she thought. ’He has no idea how sensitive women are to these things. I could even feel the burn of his gaze on my thigh.’

"What did you need to see me about?"

’Being alone with these beautiful young women is torture,’ he thought. ’I never know where to look.’

Zhu Jing handed him an approval form that had already gone through all the proper channels.

He didn’t understand what it meant. The form hadn’t been drafted by the Airex team, but by Dan Biao.

Regarding the Allocation Ratios for Consumer Subsidy Vouchers at Yida Department Store Branches

He glanced at the contents and his expression immediately turned cold. After reading it through, he sneered, "The nerve. Moving my resources without even telling me. Alright, I’m going to find President Shan. He owes me an explanation."

The approval form cut the number of consumer subsidy vouchers allocated to Airex. He knew why Dan Biao had done it: all the Yida Department Store locations had already given the Airex brand 50 exclusive "100 off 1,000" consumer subsidy vouchers.

Dan Biao must have thought that since Airex used to only have 50 vouchers, adding the 50 exclusive ones from the department store gave them 100 in total—the most of any brand.

However, Airex wasn’t the most important brand; it wasn’t even in the top five. So, he had taken 25 of Airex’s 50 originally allocated vouchers and given them to other brands, primarily to Zhang Li’s team.

"Boss, don’t go argue with President Shan."

Zhu Jing said urgently. This boss of hers was unbelievably fierce. He had offended Cai Miao as soon as he arrived, and now he was going to offend his own direct superior.

Yang Hui stood up and habitually patted her on the shoulder. "It’s fine!"

When his palm landed on Zhu Jing’s shoulder, the smooth, slick texture felt like scooping up a handful of warm spring water. The sensation reminded him of the crêpe de Chine exhibit he had touched at the silk museum last month.

This was the first time they had skin-to-skin contact. Zhu Jing’s right pinky finger lifted an imperceptible three degrees, and her heart began to pound as if she were holding a rabbit.

’He touched me!’
