After hanging up, Ding Ning pondered for a moment and then dialed another number. “Big Brother, how are you doing? Are you interested in working in Ninghai?”
As for calling Liu Jie, he had thought carefully because Liu Jie was a medical representative and worked with hospitals all the time. Although he had no powerful relationships, he still had enough to eat and wear, and this proved his very strong business and social skills.
Generally speaking, Liu Jie had a very good character, though he was a little stingy. At the last party, Ding Ning had heard his complaint and guessed that his life had not been easy these days, so he wanted to give him a hand.
As expected, Liu Jie only considered it briefly and then agreed to come for an interview tomorrow. Ding Ning sent him the company’s address and contact number, but did not tell him that he had shares in the company and only said that an elder of his opened this company.
He silently decided to ask Liu Jie to serve as the director of the sales department, Song Xiaoyu to serve as the director of the personnel department, Liu Wenjing to serve as the director of the marketing department, Wu Xian to serve as the director of the network department, and Zhang Haifeng to serve as the director of the customer service department because he was careful but talkative.
Therefore, since Aunt Chu was already the director of the finance department, the seven departments only lacked the director of the production department.
The production department did not require a very high degree of education; as long as the person was careful and responsible and strictly controlled the quality, that was enough, so he decided to ask Qian Yongjin to take this position. He was the old squad leader of Xiaoniu.
It happened that he would move to the Green Field Villa recently, and this would save his trouble for supervising the progress of the construction of the pharmaceutical factory.
He called Xiaoniu and told him his idea. Xiaoniu was so excited that he thanked his boss again and again, for he and Qian Yongjin were as close as brothers. Naturally, he was willing to see him get such a good job.
Now that all the directors of the seven departments had been found, Uncle Ling was relieved. Ding Ning trusted him so much and asked him to manage the company, so he had great pressure.
Half an hour later, Zhang Haifeng and his companions arrived and were directly led by the receptionist who had got the order to the office of Ling Fei.
Ding Ning introduced the two sides first. When they found that President Jia was approachable, the four of them who had been a little nervous became relaxed.
By this time, Ding Ning naturally could not make a guarantee. Ling Fei routinely asked about the situations of the four people and then directly decided that they would serve as the directors of the four departments with a three-month probationary period.
During the probationary period, the monthly salary of each person was 20,000. After becoming regular workers, they would be added to the annual salary system, with 500,000 a year for each one, and it did not include the benefit dividend at the end of each year. When the company got on track and they had shown their abilities, their salaries would be adjusted again. Surely, they would only be raised and would not be lowered. Hearing this, the four of them were all astonished.
Even after signing the contracts, bidding farewell to Ling Fei, and walking out of the company, the four of them were still in a trance like dreaming.
The reality was that they had not got a master’s degree. Even if they got a master’s degree, since they had no relationships or powerful backgrounds, they could not find a satisfactory job.
Now, it was great. They became department directors directly with the monthly salary during the probationary period being 20,000, not to mention the annual salary of 500,000 yuan after they became regular employees. That was to say, the average monthly salary was more than 40,000!
Although Ninghai was an international metropolis, those who could get a monthly salary of 20,000 during their internship were definitely those with high salaries, and ordinary people could not even think about it.
“What? Not satisfied?”
Seeing that the four of them were shocked, Ding Ning laughed and joked.
“No, satisfied, satisfied. Big Brother, I don’t want to say anything, but let me treat you to dinner tonight. We need to extend our great gratitude to you.”
Zhang Haifeng’s face was red with excitement. According to his expectations, he would be satisfied if he could find a job with a salary of 10,000 a month after graduation.
“Thank you so much, Big Brother.”
Liu Wenjing’s family condition was very ordinary. She had been hesitant about whether she should return to her hometown to find a job and get married after graduation, or stay in Ninghai to find a job and work hard with Zhang Haifeng to face the unknown fate.
But she did not expect that the job interview she came to attend for helping Ding Ning provided her with a high-salary job, which made her so moved that she changed her address of him.
Wu Xian and Song Xiaoyu had good family conditions. Even if they could not find jobs, that was not a big deal, but if they could not find a decent job, it might be very difficult for them to live together in the future, and they would become a typical breaking-up couple after graduation.
“Big Brother, thank you!”
Song Xiaoyu also changed her address of him. She cherished her relationship with Wu Xian very much. Without this job, the two of them would basically have no chance to live together. After graduation, they would basically break up, but this was never the result she was willing to see. Now, their fates had been changed, and they would live together with their beloved ones, so she thanked him sincerely.
Wu Xian, who was very quiet and was not good at expressing his feelings, just said dumbly, “Big Brother, if you want to change your household registration in the future, please come to me.”
Ding Ning did not know whether he should laugh or cry. “Why should I change my household registration?” But he knew this was a way for Wu Xian to express his gratitude, and he laughed and joked. “Wenjing and Xiaoyu, you are going to live with them in spite of all kinds of difficulties, right? Haha.”
Song Xiaoyu glanced at Wu Xian shyly and bowed her head sheepishly, causing Wu Xian to smirk.
Open-minded, Liu Wenjing took Zhang Haifeng’s arm boldly. “By then, as a tycoon, you must give us a big red envelope.”
“No problem. When my brothers get married, red envelopes are a must. When you set your wedding dates, I will give you and Xiaoyu each a house.”
Ding Ning patted his chest heroically and promised. “But the condition is that you must marry the two brothers of mine.”
“Alas! I would have liked to dump him, but since there is a house, I will persuade myself to marry him.”
Liu Wenjing thought that Ding Ning was joking, so she jested smilingly.
Right, how expensive Ninghai was! No one could buy any three-bedroom and 100-square-meter house without paying a few million. No matter how generous Ding Ning was, he could not give them a few million.
However, Zhang Haifeng and Wu Xian, who knew Ding Ning, did not think so and shook their heads again and again. “Big Brother, this gift is too expensive, and we cannot accept it.”
Seeing that the two of them were serious, Liu Wenjing and Song Xiaoyu were dumbfounded. “Is what Ding Ning said true?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. You are my brothers. I will give each of you a house as a gift when you get married, under the same precondition that you must marry Wenjing and Xiaoyu.”
Ding Ning waved his hand and said indifferently. Xiaoniu and his colleagues now lived in villas in the Green Field Villa. In contrast, giving two small houses to Zhang Haifeng and Wu Xian was nothing serious.
“Big Brother, it is really needless. After Wenjing and I become regular employees, our total annual salary will be a million. If we keep saving money, we will buy a house in a just few years.”
Zhang Haifeng refused firmly, and Wu Xian nodded repeatedly.
Liu Wenjing and Song Xiaoyu were astonished. No matter how stupid they were, they could see that Ding Ning was not joking. “Damn, the tycoon is so willful!”
Ding Ning sighed and threw his arms around the shoulders of the two of them. “Our meeting hints that we are destined to be friends. We were put into the same dormitory, and we can play with each other harmoniously. I am the youngest, but you call me Big Brother. Since you call me Big Brother, you are my lifelong brothers. As long as you work hard in the company, giving you villas and luxury cars is just a piece of cake, not to mention a house.”
“Big Brother, you are now an executive, and you’ve become rich and arrogant.”
Zhang Haifeng wiped the corners of his eyes secretly to avoid being teased and said jokingly.
“Executive? What executive?”
Liu Wenjing and Xiaoyu went out for a day today and just returned, so they did not hear this news. Hearing these words, they asked curiously.
“You don’t know? Big Brother is now quite brilliant. Our school will add a Chinese medicine anaesthesia major. Big Brother is not only an honorary professor but also the executive of the newly opened college. This news has gone viral throughout the school.”
Zhang Haifeng said with pride.
“Ah! How great you are, Big Brother! ”
Liu Wenjing and Song Xiaoyu screamed as they covered their small mouths and looked at Ding Ning with admiration.
“No doubt, haven’t you seen whose Big Brother he is?”
Zhang Haifeng raised his head in complacency, as if the executive was not Ding Ning but him.
Ding Ning shook his head and smiled bitterly. “What’s the meaning of an executive? I just wanted to carry forward traditional Chinese medicine, and then I promised to be the executive; otherwise, I would not have been even if I had been asked.”
“Don’t say anything. Let’s have a great celebration for Big Brother tonight.”
Zhang Haifeng waved his hand heroically.
“Well, Jingjing is still in the dormitory. Do we need to call her to come?”
Song Xiaoyu asked timidly.
The three of them in their dormitory, who had always been eating and living together, had very good relationships. When they two came out, Zhao Jingjing thought that they were going to date and did not come. Now, they were going to party, and she thought that it seemed not suitable to leave Zhao Jingjing alone, as if they had marginalized her.
“Just call her to come here. The more people, the livelier.”
Zhang Haifeng did not think much about it and made the decision directly.
Ding Ning did not really want to see Zhao Jingjing, but since Zhang Haifeng had said it, it was not suitable for him to say no.
Initially, he was attracted by Zhao Jingjing, but after knowing that she was a lesbian, he tried to avoid meeting her, so as not to embarrass each other.
“Okay, let me call her.”
Song Xiaoyu happily took out her cellphone to call Zhao Jingjing.
Liu Wenjing walked together with Ding Ning, putting her arm around his shoulder and asked with a whisper, “What on earth happened to you and Jingjing? Did you have a quarrel?”
“No, we are fine.”
Ding Ning asked with some doubt, “Why do you ask that way?”
Liu Wenjing shook her head. “I don’t know, either. She has been unhappy recently. She is listless every day, and you haven’t shown up during this time, so I thought you had a quarrel.”
“How could it be? I have nothing to quarrel with her about. Recently, I have been asked to develop drugs, so I haven’t been much at school.”
Ding Ning shook his head to deny it, but he was surprised inwardly. “Don’t Liu Wenjing and Song Xiaoyu know that Zhao Jingjing is a lesbian?”
“If you didn’t quarrel, that’s fine. Then, it’s not embarrassing for you to meet.”
Liu Wenjing heaved a sigh of relief, glanced at Zhang Haifeng, who was hanging his head behind her and was full of jealousy, came over, took his arm, pinched his waist hard, and whispered, “I was talking with Big Brother about Jingjing. Why were you so stupidly jealous? If there is a next time, I will disable you.”
“How can I dare? That’s my big brother. He’s not the one who robs his brother’s wife. Besides, even if you want to hook up with him, Big Brother doesn’t like you.”
Zhang Haifeng did fully define the words “No zuo no die”.
“You are a bastard! What are you talking about? What flaws do I have? Doesn’t like me? You do think I like you?”
Furious, Liu Wenjing bore her teeth and wielded her arms to beat Zhang Haifeng, who held his head to run like a rat, begging for mercy again and again.
Wu Xian and Song Xiaoyu were convulsed with laughter, and Ding Ning laughed bitterly and shook his head. “What a Zhang Haifeng! You can’t control your mouth and dare to say anything, so you deserve to be beaten.”
Even when they reached the gate of the restaurant Zhang Haifeng had selected, Liu Wenjing’s lingering anger had not disappeared. Although Zhang Haifeng kept talking to her with smiles and sweet words, she ignored him with a cold face, so that everyone laughed as they watched them.
“How did you guys come so fast?”
Fortunately, Zhao Jingjing’s arrival broke the deadlock. The three girls tweeted together as if they had reunited after a long time of separation, making Zhang Haifeng feel quite relieved. He rubbed his face with relief, but the smiles he had been maintaining almost stiffened the muscles on his face.
Seeing him, who had many grievances on his face and hoped to complain, Ding Ning and Wu Xian turned around together and left with a few words “You deserve it”, which made Zhang Haifeng accuse them of having no brotherhood code.
