After the divorce, I started to transfer

Man Wenjuan sat in the chair opposite the desk, her expression clearly showing nervousness under the watchful gaze of her boss, Chen Feng.

The reason is simple: she doesn't want to lose her current job. Her monthly salary, bonus, and performance bonuses add up to at least 20,000 yuan. Last month, she even received 25,000 yuan.

In this way, she earns at least 200,000 yuan a year.

Moreover, the company was doing well, and in the past two years, employees received at least two months' salary as a year-end bonus.

Therefore, if she works until the end of the year, she will have an income of at least 300,000 yuan.

In addition, she really enjoys her current job and knows that if she continues to work in this field, it will be very promising and she can make a lot of money.

With such good benefits and a high salary, plus a job she enjoys and that promises a bright future, of course she wants to continue doing it.

If she gets fired, it will be almost impossible for her to find a similar job again.

After all, she doesn't have a high level of education, only a junior college degree, and she has only been in the artist management industry for a few months, so she doesn't have many connections.

Even if other entertainment companies wanted her, they wouldn't be able to offer her the same level of treatment.

"My mom is her mom's cousin, so I'm also her cousin. We've known each other since we were little, and our families still visit each other occasionally. We'll meet up and have a meal together when we go back to our hometown for Chinese New Year. Of course, we're not really that close; we're just ordinary relatives. She's been in Xiuzhou for almost two years, and I've only met her two or three times. It wasn't until I lost my job and asked her for help finding one that she offered me a job as her assistant, and that's when we became a little closer."

But she delegated most of her work to me, so I often had to work overtime and couldn't even rest properly on holidays. Now, all the artists come directly to me with work-related or personal problems, asking me to help them. So, I'm often incredibly busy and overwhelmed, while Hu Rui is frequently late and leaves early, and I can't contact her after get off work, living a very relaxed and carefree life. Sometimes, I feel quite uncomfortable about it and have resentment towards her.”

Man Wenjuan's words were basically true, and she was also a little clever, pointing out that she had worked hard at the company and had taken on most of Hu Rui's work, while also intending to distance herself from Hu Rui.

Chen Feng nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with her words. However, he remained blunt and asked directly, "What did you do before joining our company? Some people have said behind your back that you used to be a madam. Is that true?"

Upon hearing this, Man Wenjuan's expression changed, and she became even more nervous, unable to speak for a moment.

Seeing this, Ren Ziyu, who had been silent on the sofa, spoke up and reminded him, "You'd better tell the truth, we will verify it."

Man Wenjuan then came to her senses, took a deep breath, and said, "I've done many jobs before. I was a tutor in college, and after graduation I worked as a receptionist, clerk, and waitress. Later I got married and was a housewife for two or three years. After my divorce, I worked as a waitress in a KTV. After working there for a while, I got to know all the hostesses there, so I became a supervisor. I wouldn't call myself a madam, but it's similar."

Man Wenjuan's direct admission of the rumors surprised both Chen Feng and Ren Ziyu.

Then, Ren Ziyu frowned, her eyes showing disdain, clearly disgusted by her previous job.

Chen Feng didn't look down on her at all. There's no such thing as a noble or lowly profession, and besides, being able to become a madam is a skill in itself.

"You must have had a good salary as a manager at the KTV, why did you quit?" Chen Feng asked curiously.

Man Wenjuan gave a wry smile and said, "The supervisor's pay is good, but it mainly depends on the commission from the private rooms and the hostesses' cut. At my best, I could earn tens of thousands of yuan a night, and at my worst, I could still earn one or two thousand. But I often have to stay up all night, my days and nights are reversed, I drink and smile all day, and I have to greet and see off guests and maintain good relationships with them. The pressure is immense. After a few years of this, my health has collapsed. I became seriously ill and was diagnosed with several chronic diseases at the hospital, diseases that should normally only affect the elderly."

I spent over three months recovering and originally didn't want to go back to work. But my colleagues kept inviting me, and since I didn't have any other good opportunities, I decided to continue. However, less than a month later, the KTV ran into trouble. One of my colleagues was involved in a honey trap with her boyfriend, who accidentally injured a customer and faced legal trouble. This almost made me a suspect too, and I was called in for questioning by the police several times. Also, someone at the KTV was caught using drugs during a police raid, and the place was shut down, leaving me unemployed. After this incident, and considering my health, I knew I couldn't continue in this line of work. That's when I contacted Hu Rui and asked her to help me find a job, which became her assistant.

"This job pays so well, it's a real shame you're not going to continue." Ren Ziyu said it was a shame, but her face showed disgust and aversion.

Man Wenjuan felt a little embarrassed and did not respond.

Chen Feng continued, "Do you have any children now?"

Man Wenjuan shook her head: "No. My ex-husband and I were married for more than two years and I had a child, but unfortunately I miscarried and couldn't get pregnant again after that, which was one of the reasons for our divorce."

"You must have earned a lot of money before. Compared to your current job, your income is much less. Are you willing to continue doing this?"

Man Wenjuan quickly said, "I really like my current job. Although Hu Rui basically handed over all her work to me before, keeping me extremely busy every day, I also felt very fulfilled. I got along well with several artists in the company and was very interested in their management affairs. As for my previous job, although it paid more, I didn't like it at all and was not happy. In addition, it was too much for my body and life, so I could not do it again."

She wasn't lying, but that was clearly not the main reason she cared so much about the job.

The main reason she's terrified of being fired and losing her job is that she now has to pay her mortgage and car loan every month without fail, totaling over eight thousand. The money she earned as a supervisor went towards the down payment on her house, and coupled with her extravagant spending habits, she doesn't have much savings.

Therefore, she really needs this job.

Although Chen Feng didn't know she had to pay off her mortgage and car loan, seeing that she really cared about her current job, he asked, "So you mean you want to stay and work at the company, right?"

"Yes, yes." Man Wenjuan nodded repeatedly. "I want to stay at the company, and I will definitely work hard."

Chen Feng didn't make a decision immediately. He looked at Ren Ziyu to see what her attitude was. After all, she was the general manager, and Chen Feng had to consider her feelings to some extent.

Ren Ziyu already harbored some resentment towards Man Wenjuan, and after learning that Man Wenjuan had indeed worked as a madam, her disgust only intensified.

Seeing Chen Feng looking at her, she understood his meaning and said, "Man Wenjuan, you were originally recruited by Hu Rui in violation of regulations. I have seen your file; you only have a junior college degree, which obviously does not meet the company's recruitment requirements. In particular, your current assistant position and salary are equivalent to that of a deputy manager, which is obviously a bit too high. Therefore, if you want to continue to stay in the company, your position and salary must be reduced."

Man Wenjuan froze upon hearing this. After a long while, she put on a smile again and said, "I have no objection to the reduction in position and salary. I know it's not good to continue as the assistant manager of the artist department, but I want to be a manager. I have the experience and ability in this field now, and I am confident that I can handle it. The company just needs to give me normal manager salary."

Man Wenjuan was quite self-aware, and her thoughts coincided with those of her boss, Chen Feng.

Ren Ziyu didn't tell Chen Feng to leave just now because she knew he wanted her to stay.

Now that Man Wenjuan had said these words, Ren Ziyu was even more certain that Chen Feng wanted to keep her.

Although Ren Ziyu still disliked Man Wenjuan and wanted her to get rid of her, she had to respect the will and decision of her boss, Chen Feng.

Of course, since Man Wenjuan stepped down from her position as assistant manager of the artist department and became just an ordinary agent, Ren Ziyu didn't care much.

So, Ren Ziyu spoke first to Chen Feng, nodding slightly and saying, "I quite approve of your work ability. If you want to be an agent, I also plan to give you that opportunity. However, you have a dark history of being a madam, and I hope you will keep that a secret as much as possible in the future so as not to affect the company's external image."

Man Wenjuan had prepared herself for Ren Ziyu's rejection, but to her surprise, Ren Ziyu agreed. Although the last sentence was a bit unpleasant, she didn't mind and quickly thanked her happily, saying, "Thank you, President Ren. I will definitely work hard in the future. As for my experience as a KTV supervisor, I don't think there's anything I can't tell people. Of course, I wouldn't be foolish enough to tell everyone. The boss asked about it this time, and I didn't want to lie, so I told him."

Ren Ziyu curled her lips into a sneer and said indifferently, "It's enough that you know what you're doing. You're a woman, working in a KTV, and you're even a madam. Do you think that's glamorous? It's better if people don't know if you can keep it a secret."

Man Wenjuan's smile froze for a moment, but she still forced a smile and nodded, saying, "Mr. Ren is right. I was just assuming things. I won't tell anyone about this in the future."

Chen Feng then spoke up, saying, "You can mentor the newcomers first, like Jiang Xiaoshan. She has a pretty good appearance and potential, and with a little effort, she can become a rising star. Do your best in the future; I have high hopes for you."

"Thank you for your guidance, leader. I will definitely work hard. I know Jiang Xiaoshan. She has great looks and a natural talent. If the company is willing to promote her, she should become famous very quickly."

"Okay, then you'll be in full charge of her management affairs and try to make her famous as soon as possible. Once she becomes famous, your salary and income as her manager will naturally increase as well."

"Okay, boss, I'll make her famous as soon as possible."

"Okay, that's settled then. You can go out now."

"Okay, boss, you go ahead and get busy. And Mr. Ren, I'll head out now."

Man Wenjuan immediately stood up to say goodbye, her attitude respectful.

After she left the office and closed the door, Ren Ziyu asked Chen Feng, "Boss, she really did work as a madam, is it really okay to keep her around?" Chen Feng shook his head and said, "What does it matter? Like she just said, she worked as a madam, there's nothing she can't tell people. She's just a manager, not an artist."

Ren Ziyu said with disgust, "She says she's a supervisor, but she's also the supervisor of those girls. Do you think she's clean? Maybe she used to be a prostitute herself."

Chen Feng frowned slightly and said, "You're going a bit too far. I think the fact that she came to work for our company and didn't continue in that line of work means she still has some integrity. Don't jump to conclusions."

Ren Ziyu snorted and said, "Having worked in that kind of place for several years, what do you think is the probability that she will remain chaste?"

That's really true!

Chen Feng waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's just say she's sold herself before, so what? This society is very realistic. She doesn't have a high level of education and is divorced. If she really did sell herself to make money, it's understandable. Just like our entertainment industry, do you think those seemingly glamorous stars don't sell themselves? How many artists and actors are willing to accept unspoken rules to get a role?"

"Alright, alright, I can't argue with you." Ren Ziyu waved her hand and changed the subject, asking, "You let Jiang Xiaoshan take care of them, does that mean you think highly of them both?"

"I guess so. I personally signed Jiang Xiaoshan, so we have a bit of a connection, and I want her to become famous. Fortunately, Mengting is also planning to promote her, and she should be able to get a good role in her new drama. Therefore, with the help of Man Wenjuan, who is eager to make a name for herself, she should become famous very quickly."

"I see. Then I'll wait and see. The company just lost Zhang Yuxi, so it would be great if we could bring out someone else to fill the vacancy."

"I hope so."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Ren Ziyu said goodbye and left.

This time, she didn't seem to have any intention of seducing her boss, Chen Feng. Perhaps she was too firmly rejected by him last time, and now she couldn't bring herself to do it again.

Once Ren Ziyu left, he was alone in the office again. It was boring to stay there any longer, so he decided to slip away again.

As soon as I stepped out of my desk, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Feng had no choice but to stop and reply, "Please come in."

Then, the office door was pushed open again, and a young woman came into view, whom Chen Feng did not recognize.

However, judging from her wearing the company-issued business attire, she is undoubtedly an employee of the company.

"Who are you? What do you want with me?"

Chen Feng asked directly.

"Boss, this is Peng Xiaotong. Do you remember me? We spoke on the phone before. Thanks to your help, I'm now working as a clerk in the company. I heard you were here today, so I came specifically to thank you in person. Please forgive me if I'm bothering you."

Upon hearing her name, Chen Feng immediately remembered her. She was the girl from the southwestern mountainous area who had been coerced into falsely accusing him of rape. Later, she took the initiative to contact Chen Feng to inform on him, so Chen Feng felt indebted to her. Then, according to her own wishes, he arranged a job for her at the company.

The two only communicated by phone at the time. In reality, Peng Xiaotong may have met him, the boss, since Chen Feng had visited the company before, but Chen Feng had not met her.

The incident of trying to frame him is already in the past; if Peng Xiaotong hadn't brought it up, he really wouldn't have remembered it.

"Oh, it's you. Are you working as a clerk now?" Chen Feng looked her over with some curiosity.

Peng Xiaotong is 22 years old this year. She is wearing the dark gray business suit issued by the company, a small blazer and a pencil skirt. She has a lot of vitality as an office worker. Her face is full of collagen. She is not wearing makeup and looks very comfortable.

She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she had a youthful and sunny disposition, and a natural, simple charm.

Her overall score is above 80, so she's considered a pretty girl.

Therefore, there was some merit to the idea that those people chose her as the "victim" and tried to frame Chen Feng for raping her.

"Yes. I originally wanted to be a cleaner, since I don't even have a high school diploma. But Mr. Sun took care of me and, knowing I was good at office automation, he put me in the clerical position."

"Are you getting used to what you're doing? Is there anything I can help you with?"

After all, he had received a favor from them, so Chen Feng politely declined.

Peng Xiaotong quickly replied, "I'm doing well at the company; everyone takes good care of me."

"That's good. I remember you said you were going to take the self-study exam. Are you studying?"

"Yes, I have already taken the exam for secretarial studies. I have already passed three basic courses and one professional course."

"Good, keep up the good work and try to get your diploma as soon as possible."

"Well, I'll try my best."

"Where do you live now? Do you live with your cousin?" Chen Feng continued to express his concern.

After all, she was a girl from a poor family in the mountainous region of Southwest China. Her family was poor, had many children, and favored boys over girls. It was a truly hellish family situation, and Chen Feng felt some sympathy for her.

When Peng Xiaotong heard Chen Feng mention her cousin, she couldn't help but feel a sense of inferiority and panic. In her mind, Chen Feng must know that her cousin was engaged in a special profession.

So she quickly said, "I'm living in the company-provided housing now, not with my cousin. My cousin is now working as a part-time cleaner, and she lives quite far from me. We haven't seen each other for half a month."

Chen Feng didn't think much of it and nodded, saying, "Oh, so are you getting used to living with your colleagues?"

"It's a habit. Each person has their own room, and only three people live in the house, all of them girls. We get along quite well."

The company provides its employees with either suites, one room per person, or single dormitories, also one room per person, which can be described as luxurious.

"That's good. Keep up the good work and take it one step at a time. Once you get your degree, the company will consider promoting you."

Chen Feng casually made a promise, which has become one of his passive skills as a boss.

But it's clear that the promises he's made are very likely to come true in the future.

"Thank you, boss. I will definitely work hard to get my degree as soon as possible and work diligently to live up to your expectations."

"Okay, let's do this for now."

Chen Feng picked up his phone and checked the time: 10:09 AM, which was still early.

However, he didn't want to continue talking to Peng Xiaotong.

Ultimately, the two weren't really close. Getting her to work at his company was enough to repay that small favor.

"Okay, boss, I'll be going now. Thank you again for giving me this job."

After finishing her speech, Peng Xiaotong bowed deeply to Chen Feng to express her gratitude before quickly leaving. (End of Chapter)
