My Dongguan Love Story

Full of doubts, Tang Yan entered Zhao Fengyue's office.

Seeing her enter, Zhao Fengyue smiled and gestured for Secretary Wu to go out and close the door. Then she stood up and looked at Tang Yan gently: "Manager Tang, please sit down."

After speaking, she took the lead and sat down on the sofa. Tang Yan was even more puzzled, but she did not refuse and sat down next to Zhao Fengyue with proper posture.

Zhao Fengyue noticed the doubt in Tang Yan's eyes, smiled, poured a cup of tea, and gently pushed it in front of her.

"Manager Tang, how long have you been working at Dingsheng?"

Tang Yan couldn't figure out Zhao Fengyue's intentions, but still replied respectfully, "President Zhao, I've been working at the company for three years."

"Yeah, it has been quite a while."

Zhao Fengyue nodded with a smile, her eyes flickering slightly as she looked at her and slowly said, "I'm planning to promote you to workshop manager. What do you think? The original manager's monthly salary was 3,200, but I'll give you 5,000 directly."

Tang Yan froze upon hearing this, completely stunned.

They're promoting me to manager? And offering me such a high salary?

Even in Dongguan, a base salary of 5,000 yuan is considered top-tier, and many small company bosses don't even earn that much.

Tang Yan was secretly amazed by President Zhao's generosity, and immediately smiled and thanked him, "Thank you so much, President Zhao! I will definitely work hard in the future and never let you down."

"Okay, that's good." Zhao Fengyue smiled faintly, then continued, "In addition, I'll give you an extra 50,000 yuan as a year-end bonus. Regardless of how well or poorly the workshop performs at the end of the year, you'll receive every penny of this money."

Tang Yan froze on the spot, her face instantly filled with surprise, her lips uncontrollably curving upwards, and she stammered, "President Zhao, a year-end bonus of 50,000? This...this is too much..."

She was completely stunned, her mind reeling with turmoil.

She is usually very hardworking, but lately she has been working overtime every night to meet production orders, and she has had very little time to see Dazhuang.

No matter how hard I work, I'm far from deserving a year-end bonus of 50,000 yuan!

Good heavens, that's a full 50,000 yuan, not 5,000 or 500!

This amount of money is enough for a down payment on a small apartment in the suburbs of Dongguan! This is no small sum.

Moreover, Dingsheng has been established for so long, and in the past two years, no one has ever received such a high year-end bonus. Why did General Manager Zhao give it to her directly?

Tang Yan looked at President Zhao with sparkling eyes, feeling that he was her benefactor. He had given her a promotion, a raise, and a generous year-end bonus. Overjoyed, she hesitated, saying, "President Zhao, this... fifty thousand is a bit too much."

Seeing Tang Yan's flattered expression, Zhao Fengyue smiled and slowly said, "It's nothing. I have a small favor to ask of you, it's up to you whether you're willing to help."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yan immediately sat up straight and declared without hesitation, patting her chest, "President Zhao, please speak freely! Even if it's a hundred things, I will have no objections!"

In her heart, Zhao Fengyue was her mentor and confidante in the workplace. She would be willing to do anything for her, let alone help her.

Tang Yan muttered to herself, she had no personal relationship with President Zhao, no connections or family background, just an ordinary worker. President Zhao's offer of a promotion and raise, along with the promise of a large year-end bonus, was clearly meant to get her to work overtime and keep a close eye on factory orders. She secretly resolved that even if she had to work a whole month of night shifts, she wouldn't utter a single complaint.

Zhao Fengyue looked at her, who was patting her chest with such sincerity, a faint smile on her face, but her eyes held a complex mix of emotions. She took out a cigarette, lit it, took a drag, and slowly exhaled white smoke. After a few seconds of consideration, she spoke in a calm tone:

"If you leave Dazhuang, I'll guarantee you wealth and prosperity from now on, how about it?"

These words struck Tang Yan like a thunderbolt. Her body stiffened abruptly, the joyful smile on her face instantly freezing and fading completely. Her pupils constricted, her mind went blank, and her hands instinctively gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, her knuckles turning white. Her heart pounded wildly, and she was so stiff she couldn't move. She could only stare at Zhao Fengyue in disbelief, completely dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time.

Tang Yan's mind was a complete mess, her tongue was tied in knots, and she stammered, "Leave...leave Da Zhuang? What does that mean?"

She was completely taken aback and filled with confusion.

Although Dazhuang was also a factory employee, there were over two hundred people in the workshop, so why would General Manager Zhao pay special attention to him? Besides, she had kept her relationship with Dazhuang a secret, so how did General Manager Zhao find out? What she couldn't understand the most was why he wanted her to break up with Dazhuang?

Tang Yan was completely stunned, staring blankly at Zhao Fengyue, unsure of how to react.

Zhao Fengyue took a few deep drags on her cigarette, slowly exhaling wisps of white smoke, and looked calmly at Tang Yan: "It means exactly what it says. If you leave Dazhuang, I will give you sufficient compensation."

Seeing Tang Yan still standing there dumbfounded and looking completely bewildered, Zhao Fengyue shook her head slightly, deciding to be blunt and say in a cold and direct tone, "Dazhuang is my boyfriend. I want you to leave him. Do you understand now?"

Tang Yan was completely stunned once again, as if struck by lightning. Her eyes were filled with disbelief and confusion, and her voice trembled: "Da...Da Zhuang is your boyfriend? How is this possible!"

She almost used all her strength to growl out the last few words uncontrollably.

Only at this moment did she fully come to her senses and instantly understand the cause and effect.

It turns out that all those promises of promotion, high salary, and a 50,000 yuan year-end bonus were just bait to lure her away from Dazhuang.

Tang Yan simply couldn't accept the fact that Zhao Fengyue said Dazhuang was her boyfriend.

Dazhuang is just an ordinary person, while President Zhao is a wealthy female boss. Their statuses are worlds apart. How did they get involved in this kind of relationship?

Tang Yan recalled all the clues from the past and had never noticed any connection between Da Zhuang and President Zhao. Now that the other party had laid all the cards on her head, she was shocked and stared intently at Zhao Fengyue.

Seeing her lose control of her emotions and become hysterical, Zhao Fengyue frowned slightly, but did not get angry. She explained calmly and patiently, "Dazhuang and I have always had a good relationship. We got together not long after he started working at Dingsheng."

"I only found out today that you're with him. There are plenty of men in the world. Just let go of him, and I'll make sure you get all the compensation you need, including your career and your finances."

Seeing Tang Yan's stunned and pale face, Zhao Fengyue didn't respond at all, and continued speaking in a cold tone:

"Tang Yan, I know you're upset, but I don't want to explain further. I'm here today to confront you. Da Zhuang can't date two people at the same time, and I want you to leave him. You two haven't been together long. If you're willing to let go, all the benefits I promised you before will still apply."

Zhao Fengyue caught a glimpse of Tang Yan's angry face and knew that this negotiation would not be easy. She sighed helplessly, turned around and walked back to her desk, picked up a small briefcase, and slowly opened it in front of Tang Yan. Inside the briefcase, stacks of brand-new hundred-yuan bills were neatly stacked, dazzling and eye-catching.

Zhao Fengyue gently stroked the banknotes, her gaze calm as she looked at Tang Yan: "Here's 50,000 yuan in cash. Since you agreed to leave Dazhuang, this money is yours right now. All the promotions, high salaries, and year-end bonuses I promised you before are valid. From now on, I'll guarantee you a smooth career path at Dingsheng Factory. Think about it, what do you say?"

After Zhao Fengyue finished speaking, she pushed the suitcase toward Tang Yan.
