The leisurely life of a reborn dad

"Cao Xuemeng, what are you talking about?" a slightly plump colleague behind her asked her.

Cao Xuemeng turned her head and looked back. It was her colleague Qi Ying. She shook her head: "It's okay, I just feel that the money is not much."

"How much did you get?" Qi Ying asked her curiously.

Ever since Cao Xuemeng came here, Qi Ying has been very curious about her salary.

Hearing from others that she is a top student of CAFA, not only Qi Ying is curious, but many people in their studio are also curious.

But no matter how they asked, Cao Xuemeng just didn't say.

"It's really not much, just a few thousand yuan, Qi Ying, what era is this, how can I live with this little money?" Cao Xuemeng felt bad.

The property fee for her house is too high, and all kinds of miscellaneous expenses added together are not a small amount.

Qi Ying curled her lips: "A few thousand yuan is not much, I only got more than 8,000 yuan this month."

After hearing this, Cao Xuemeng said: "I get a little less than you."

"How much less is a little?" Qi Ying asked.

But Cao Xuemeng still didn't say anything.

Qi Ying didn't get an answer, and then asked: "Cao Xuemeng, do you have time in the evening? Let's go to a party together in the department."

This time, not only Qi Ying came over, but also several colleagues came over to ask, including Kang Yunna who entered the Bluebird Design Institute with Cao Xuemeng.

Her academic qualifications are slightly lower than Cao Xuemeng's, but her ability is also good, and she asked for a salary of 10,000 yuan.

She was also curious about how much Cao Xuemeng made a month.

However, in this regard, the salary confidentiality measures of the Bluebird Design Institute are too good, and everyone doesn't tell each other. Except for the human resources department, finance and department managers, the rest of the people don't know the specific salary amount.

For some reason, Kang Yunna didn't like Cao Xuemeng anyway.

When she heard Qi Ying asking about the dinner party in the evening, she quickly agreed: "Okay, I have time, Sister Qi, what shall we eat in the evening?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, it may be a buffet, let's discuss it again." Qi Ying said.

Then Qi Ying contacted other people to ask about the dinner party in the evening.

In the past, everyone would go back for dinner after receiving their salary every month. This was not difficult and was unanimously approved.

Cao Xuemeng happened to have nowhere to go and didn’t know what to eat at night. Everyone went AA, and she chipped in 150 yuan, and they had a buffet, which was not expensive in Beijing.

But Cao Xuemeng only wanted to be an invisible person when eating, and get a free meal, but people kept coming to her, both men and women.

The man kept asking her where she was from, what plans she had for the future, and what requirements she had for her partner.

The woman asked her what plans she had for the next step, what direction she was going to develop in, and what hobbies she had.

They also said that they had worked together for such a long time, but they had hardly seen her participate in the company’s collective activities.

The intention was too obvious, and Cao Xuemeng didn’t want to answer them.

But the more this happened, the more people came forward, and Cao Xuemeng was so angry that she shouted at the top of her voice: "Can you have a quiet meal? Aren't you tired of the noise?"

"..."

Other colleagues didn't expect Cao Xuemeng to suddenly lose her temper. They wondered how a newcomer could be so "arrogant". This time, the person who had just talked to Cao Xuemeng was embarrassed.

But Cao Xuemeng didn't care about this. Her good mood was ruined. After eating, she said something to other colleagues, took her things and left.

"Bah, who is this person? You can tell at a glance that he just graduated from school and hasn't suffered any loss yet." A woman named Gong Yuejiao said.

"Who said it wasn't? He has a good appearance and looks decent, but who knows he has such a bad temper. Who wants to serve him?" A man named Dai Shanmin said.

As the two of them mentioned this, other people in the same department also started to talk about it.

Dai Shanmin originally thought Cao Xuemeng was pretty and graduated from a prestigious university. He wanted to chat with her, but he was rejected.

As for Gong Yuejiao, she simply didn't like Cao Xuemeng. She always felt that since Cao Xuemeng came to their design department, many people in the department were surrounding her.

But Cao Xuemeng was still very cold, and the more she was like this, the more people surrounded her.

Gong Yuejiao felt more and more uncomfortable.

I had originally thought of using the opportunity of dinner to give her a warning tonight, but I didn't know that she had such a bad temper.

...

Cao Xuemeng didn't know what the remaining colleagues discussed about her after she left, but even if she knew, she wouldn't care.

What kind of monsters and ghosts, Cao Xuemeng has seen a lot, and who has she been afraid of since she was a child?

Back home, Cao Xuemeng felt comfortable immediately.

After paying all the fees from the official account, Cao Xuemeng felt heartbroken when she saw that there was only more than 4,000 yuan left.

Half of the salary was gone.

You have to save money, otherwise it won't be enough.

"Well, I won't go to such useless gatherings in the future. It's meaningless and a waste of money. It's better for me to buy some and cook it myself, which saves money." Cao Xuemeng thought to herself.

The next day, when she came to the company, everything was normal, and there was no special change, as if the unpleasantness during the meal yesterday had never happened.

But Cao Xuemeng was not stupid. She knew that for those people, they must have grudges in their hearts, but she didn't care. This little thing didn't affect her at all.

At worst, she would quit and go home to inherit the family property. What's the big deal?

Cao Xuemeng started a day's work.

For a week, Cao Xuemeng has been designing her own works according to customer requirements. She hopes that her works will stand out and eventually help the company win orders, and she will be able to get a high commission by then.

It can be said that Cao Xuemeng had high hopes for this design, but Cao Xuemeng did not know that after the word sinister was invented, it never existed alone as a word.

While she was busy designing her work, someone deliberately caused trouble and secretly caused a stumbling block.

Until the day Cao Xuemeng submitted the work, his manager didn't even look at it. He asked her to put the work down first and told her that she would look at it later.

Cao Xuemeng didn't think much about it. She was confident in her own strength.

Returning to his work station, Cao Xuemeng started to look at the next task.

By coincidence, she discovered that this task belonged to Xiaomi Group and asked Jade Bird Design Institute to help them produce a design and promotional image for an electronic product.

And it is required that this promotional picture should have a unique and unique feeling, that is, it cannot overlap with the AI ​​designed drawings.

This requirement is quite difficult. AI drawing cannot be said to be smarter than humans, but it does exceed people's imagination in some aspects. That is, the pictures it draws are relatively rigid and mean, and no one draws pictures with a sense of agility. Human designers have not been laid off.

Cao Xuemeng thought about it and took over this task. There were two people who took over this task like her. One of them was Gong Yuejiao, and the other was also an old employee named Sun Xiaozheng.

The department will eventually select the best design from the three people and send it to Xiaomi.

For Cao Xuemeng, she feels like she has a handle on this task.

In terms of relationship, she and Xiaomi's princess are best friends and sisters.

In addition, I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not, but Xiaomi’s task is similar to a design drawing she drew when she was in school.

Cao Xuemeng immediately thought of using her design drawing, but she felt that the drawing was still a bit old-fashioned, so she considered making micro-innovations from it.

The time when you can calm down and work goes by very quickly.

At this time, Cao Xuemeng was deaf to what was going on outside the window. After she actually completed the work, she realized that another week had passed in this month.

But Cao Xuemeng always felt that something was wrong. There was still no news about the design drawing she gave to the manager last time.

She wondered, even if her painting was not good, at least he could tell her what the problem was so that she could avoid it in the future.

Being so silent and without any feedback, she doesn't know anything. What does this mean?

After closing the computer, Cao Xuemeng decided to go find the manager and ask.

After all, if your work is selected, you can get a considerable commission.

In the design department manager's office, Cao Xuemeng looked at her superior Tan Borong and asked her about the results of the design drawing.

But to Cao Xuemeng's disappointment, manager Tan Borong told her: "Cao Xuemeng, your paintings are very good, but..."

Cao Xuemeng knew something was wrong as soon as she heard the word "but".

She wasn't angry, that was normal.

She patiently listened to Tan Borong continue to introduce what was wrong with her works.

However, Tan Borong only said that her work did not meet the client's requirements and was not accepted in the end.

What kind of reply is this?

"Manager, may I ask where my work does not meet their requirements?" Cao Xuemeng asked.

Tan Borong was also asked and was speechless.

There is a saying that goes where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the same is true for Jade Bird Design Studio.

Although there are only more than 200 people in the entire Jade Bird Design Studio, the relationships inside are also very complicated.

Some people didn't like Cao Xuemeng and said a few words to Tan Borong, which meant that they should dry out Cao Xuemeng first and weaken her energy, so that it would not be difficult for young people to handle her.

Tan Borong felt that there was no problem in doing so because he had to give face to the person delivering the message, but he did not expect that Cao Xuemeng would be so tough and kept asking questions.

No matter what the reason was, Cao Xuemeng's attitude made Tan Borong so angry. He stood up suddenly and slapped the table: "What are you doing? What are you doing? Do you have the final say or do I? Just leave if you don't want to do it."

Cao Xuemeng looked at the furious Tan Borong and really wanted to slap him, but she thought about it and realized that this month was almost over. Even if she left, she had to get her salary first.

Too lazy to say anything else, Cao Xuemeng went straight out and used a day to complete the design plan at hand. Cao Xuemeng handed it over to Tan Borong this time, and repeatedly stated that her plan was perfect and she would definitely get an order from Xiaomi.

This confident attitude made Tan Borong very dissatisfied with her.

How is this the attitude of an employee speaking to a manager?

I really didn’t take him as a manager seriously at all. Could it be that today’s college students don’t have any rules at all?

Or does she think she can do whatever she wants just because she graduated from Central America and because of her teacher?

However, Xiaomi required them to submit the draft by the end of the month, so Tan Borong organized the company's auditors to conduct a preliminary review of the three people's design drawings.

After the preliminary review, they found that Cao Xuemeng's design was indeed the best among the three.

But by letting Cao Xuemeng pass, Tan Borong felt that it would not give her another chance to be arrogant?

However, as the manager of the design department, Tan Borong must also consider the interests of the company. When delivering works to clients, he must present the best.

Finally, they handed over Cao Xuemeng’s design drawings.

As expected, Cao Xuemeng's design was approved by Xiaomi, but when signing the formal contract, Tan Borong was cunning and wrote in the contract that this design was completed by Cao Xuemeng, Gong Yuejiao and Sun Xiaozheng under his leadership.

But Cao Xuemeng didn't know about this yet.

She only knew that her design was approved.

She was fantasizing about getting the commission next month and then resigning.

This broken place made her feel unhappy, so she didn't stay.

But when the salary was paid in the second month, Cao Xuemeng felt something was wrong.

She clearly remembered that the design was 1.5 million yuan, and as a designer, he could get 5% of the business commission, which was 75,000 yuan.

In addition to her original salary of 15,000 yuan, even if personal income tax and social security expenses were deducted, he should be able to get more than 60,000 yuan, but now it is only a little more than 20,000, which is seriously asymmetric with the income she calculated.

She immediately lost her temper: "My money is wrong, what's going on?"

Cao Xuemeng said whatever she wanted to say, her voice was very loud, and everyone turned their heads to look at her.

Everyone looked at Cao Xuemeng, each of them was a little confused, not understanding what went wrong.

Cao Xuemeng was too lazy to explain to them, and went directly to Tan Borong's office. At this time, only Tan Borong could explain it to her clearly.

However, when Cao Xuemeng went to the manager's office, the other two people in the design department, Gong Yuejiao and Sun Xiaozheng, suddenly became nervous.

Tan Borong asked them to talk about this matter, and let them insist that Cao Xuemeng's design plan was created by the three of them together, and also told them about the commission distribution plan.

At that time, Tan Borong also said that Cao Xuemeng, a newcomer who had just come in, would not dare to speak out even if he knew about this.

Who knew that the facts were different from what Tan Borong told them at the time.

The two were nervous, but suddenly heard a roar from Tan Borong's office: "Tan, you dare to hold back my commission, who gave you the courage to go out and ask, is my money so easy to swallow?"

"..."

In the office area of ​​the design department's office, other people were dumbfounded when they heard Cao Xuemeng's roar.

Is this still the newcomer who has been here for less than two months?

How dare she talk to the leader in this way?

None of them, the old employees, dared, okay!

Everyone was puzzled.

They saw Cao Xuemeng not communicating with others much before, and thought Cao Xuemeng was introverted and had a bad temper.

Who knew that the fact was just the opposite, she dared to slam the table with the department manager.

At this time, Gong Yuejiao and Sun Xiaozheng, who were outside, were even more nervous. Obviously, this situation was beyond their expectations.

That is to say, the plan was out of control.

Their manager Tan Borong could not suppress this newcomer at all.

Before I heard Tan Borong's voice, I heard Cao Xuemeng's roar: "Do you think I'm easy to bully? You guys always say things about me, but I'm generous and pretend I didn't hear anything. But you dare to swallow my money, you're courting death."

"If you don't explain this to me clearly today and don't return my money to me, I'd rather let your business fail than let you get a penny of benefit."

"You bastard, you really think I'm blind!" (End of this chapter)
