Why is This Troublemaker So Damn Rich?

"Now that we’ve covered the requirements, I’m here today to present the company’s compensation system and promotion tracks."

At this, everyone perked up. Yang Na clicked the presentation remote, and the PowerPoint advanced to the next slide.

Yanghe Commerce Employee Positions and Corresponding Tiers

They saw that store positions, from associate to senior store manager, were classified from P1 to P6. Corporate employees, from specialist to senior manager, were classified from P7 to P15.

Many companies had this kind of hierarchical structure, and salaries differed slightly between tiers. For example, back at Ruijing Commerce, the difference in base salary between each tier at the store level was just 200 yuan.

"However, unlike what you’re used to, the difference in base salary between tiers at Yanghe Commerce is significant. For instance, between P1 and P3, each step up comes with a 500 yuan increase in base salary."

The crowd’s expression changed at her words. Promotions at the store level were known to be relatively easy. One could go from P1 to P3 very quickly. A 1,000 yuan increase just in base salary? ’My god. Even though we don’t know the starting salary yet,’ they thought, ’that’s a huge raise.’

"Don’t get too excited, there’s more. Between P4 and P6, each promotion adds another 1,000 yuan to your base salary."

The employees could no longer contain themselves. Yang Na saw the hands of many sales associates, clutching their pens, begin to tremble. This was real money. At Ruijing Commerce, the difference between a store manager and a senior store manager had only been 300 yuan.

"Furthermore, the company provides a path for upward mobility. For corporate positions between P7 and P9, each promotion comes with a 2,000 yuan increase. Between P10 and P12, each step up is worth 4,000 yuan."

The room erupted. The women could no longer contain their excitement, their breathing growing labored as if the very air were thick with the taste of money. Yang Na even saw one sales associate beside her scribbling in a notebook: 2500 + 500 + 500 + 1000 = 4500.

Clearly, the associate was using the base salary from Ruijing Commerce as a starting point to calculate what her new base pay would be if she made it to store manager. When she reached her final number, her eyes filled with resolve. Yang Na knew this was the look of someone envisioning her future with this company. A base salary of 4,500 yuan meant a decent quality of life for them, translating to a take-home income of over 6,000 yuan per month.

And she wasn’t the only one doing the math. Yang Na saw that even the store manager was scribbling calculations on a piece of paper. Clearly, this promotion system had filled them with dreams for the future.

But this was just getting started.

"Now that we’ve covered the promotion tracks, let’s talk about our starting salaries. I imagine everyone is very interested in that."

Interested was an understatement; they were practically dying of curiosity. Their eager eyes seemed to plead with Yang Na, ’Boss, please, stop dragging this out!’

Some had already secretly jotted down 2,800 on their notepads, others a hopeful 3,000. These numbers represented their wildest expectations.

"Please look at the screen."

Yang Na clicked the remote. The next sound was a wave of shrieks erupting from the audience. Someone even screamed, "Long live the boss!"

There were just two massive lines of text on this PowerPoint slide: P1 — Base Salary: 5,000 yuan.

Commission & Bonuses: Sales Associates — 5% commission on personal sales; Store Managers — 1% commission on total store sales (Managers are responsible for store operations and are not credited for personal sales).

This was insane. For days, they had been tormented by the ridiculously strict rules in the employee handbook, almost to the point of quitting. But after seeing this, who cared about those rules?

The sales associate next to Yang Na quickly erased the 4,500 she had calculated earlier and wrote 7,000. Her breathing grew ragged.

’The store at Xinyue Square is the highest-traffic location in all of Qingjiang Province,’ they calculated rapidly. ’It should easily pull in 500,000 in sales a month. That means an average of 50,000 in sales per person. With the base salary, a sales associate could earn close to 8,000 yuan, and the store manager would easily clear 12,000!’

Yang Na found their searing gazes a little hard to bear. ’Why do they look at me the same way Yang Hui stares at my ass?’ she thought. ’Like they want to eat me alive.’

"Don’t look at me! Please, keep your eyes on the screen."

’There’s more?’ The crowd’s attention was drawn back to the slide, which now read: Other Benefits.

Work Hours: Split shifts — Morning shift: 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM; Afternoon shift: 3:30 PM to 10:00 PM

This was the same as at Ruijing Commerce, nothing unusual there. The important part was the next line: Eight days off per month.

Just then, a sales associate raised her hand. "Xiaoli, what is it?" Yang Na asked.

"Boss, is there a typo for the days off? Did you mean to write two days instead of eight?"

You couldn’t blame her for asking. No retail store gave its employees that many days off. Four days was considered the absolute maximum, especially since the daily shifts weren’t even a full eight hours.

Yang Na smiled. "It’s not a mistake. We want you to use your time off to be with your families, go out, have fun, and relax. That way, when you come back to work, you can be fully focused and truly dedicate yourselves to serving our customers."

The room fell silent for a moment, then someone took the lead and yelled, "Long live the boss! Long, long live the boss!"

The others quickly joined in, and the conference room erupted in thunderous applause. What more could anyone ask for? This job was less stressful than many white-collar positions and paid even better.

Yang Na held up her hands, palms down, and the room instantly fell silent. The power of this high-paying compensation plan was on full display; she had won all their hearts. Aside from the people Yang Na had brought with her, a few new hires from the recruitment drive were also present. They were so excited they couldn’t stop exchanging looks with their neighbors, trembling with a happiness that came from knowing they had persevered.

At the same time, they couldn’t help but think about those who hadn’t made it, especially the ones who had quit just yesterday. ’They’d be kicking themselves if they knew about this,’ they thought.

"You’re all so impatient," Yang Na teased. "There’s still more."

Yang Na’s playful rebuke sent a jolt through them. ’More? What else could there possibly be?’

As she advanced the slide, a few large words appeared: All employees will be enrolled in the Five Social Insurances and One Housing Fund, calculated based on their full base salary.

BOOM! The room exploded with noise once more. This was yet another groundbreaking policy that other companies would never even consider.

The five social insurances are mandated by law, but many companies try to save money by not providing them, even forcing employees to sign ’voluntary’ waivers under the flimsy excuse that the contribution is ’included in their salary.’

And even for the companies that did offer them, contributions were almost always calculated based on the city’s minimum wage, not the employee’s actual base salary.

As for the housing fund, that was a complete pipe dream. Companies were already trying to skimp on legally required benefits; there was no way they would offer an optional one like the housing fund.

But Yanghe Commerce was offering the housing fund even to its sales associates, and this wasn’t just for show. Other companies might claim to offer a housing fund, but they’d contribute a measly 8% of the minimum wage. Yanghe Commerce, however, was different. They were contributing a full 12% of the actual base salary.

For an entry-level sales associate, this meant they would contribute 600 yuan, the company would contribute another 600 yuan, and an extra 1,200 yuan would be deposited into their housing fund account every single month.
