4649 Never Too Late to Love (56)
After a pause, the sales director explained, “Oh, you’ve violated the company’s rules and regulations. Accordingly, you won’t be able to get your bonus and commission from January this year. Next month, your base salary for this month will be paid to your account.”
“I do not accept this!!” Ai Mengyun got onto her feet in protest.
This was unacceptable. One had to know how many connections she had to pull to get into Chunjiang Tianxi. In January of this year, her performance set a new record. She was the sales champion of the sales office. For the next few months, she sold many villas. Therefore, she was very much favored by the leaders in the sales office.
So be it if she had to be fired, but if she had to forfeit her bonuses and commissions, it was not a matter of a few hundred thousand yuan. It would be a commission of more than two million yuan!
Two million plus! She was planning to buy a house this year. She had planned to make a down payment once she had the two million yuan at the end of the year. How was she going to put down her down payment if all that money were to be forfeited?
Just this month, she had already signed the option at the sales office and paid a deposit of 500,000 yuan. If the down payment at the end of the year could not be raised, she would lose her deposit of 500,000 yuan for breach of contract!
What…
Ai Mengyun almost cried. “Why am I the only one who has to suffer such a cruel punishment? Hasn’t the company always prided itself on being humane?”
“Mengyun, you have to ask yourself that question! It’s one thing for you to offend someone, but how many of your colleagues have you implicated?” The sales director sneered. “If you hadn’t fanned the flames and got everyone involved, would today’s matter have blown up so much?”
Ai Mengyun felt extremely guilty, but she desperately begged, “Director, will you help me ask the director-general to be merciful?! At least, be less cruel!? The deduction is in the millions of yuan!”
“Who can you blame?! It’s all your own fault!”
The other colleagues started complaining.
“Ai Mengyun, it’s one thing for you to be fired, now we are all being implicated.”
“Exactly! If it weren’t for you, would we have been punished?”
“Director, please ask the director general to make an exception! At least, don’t deduct so much of our bonus! Even if it’s 10 or 20 per cent less, it’s fine!”
“Sob sob sob…” Some female colleagues were already crying sadly.
“Sob sob sob! I was the champion last month! And now they’re deducting a year’s worth of hard-earned money!”
The strictest part of this system was that even if a year’s commission was deducted, one still had to diligently pull in results in the second half of the year.
Every month, there were performance standards to meet and assessments. If these weren’t fulfilled, the staff would be eliminated. Competition in the sales industry was very strong. Only the fittest would survive.
This female colleague worked very hard for her performance. Sometimes, she would come across clients that were old men whose hands would wander everywhere. Still she put up with it in silence.
For the sake of a sale, she had even… even paid the price with her own body. That big boss said that he would buy a villa if she agreed to be his kept mistress. She didn’t want to be a kept mistress. After accompanying the big boss on a business trip for a few days, she confessed everything. It wasn’t easy for her to finalize the sale of this villa to attain the champion’s crown that month. Just the commission alone was three million yuan!
One had to know that the total price of Chunjiang Tianxi’s villa was easily hundreds of millions.
And now, before she could even fully relish the happiness, the three million yuan had been deducted!
