Chapter 422 Great Ups and Downs
The human resources department people were whispering, but Chen Yang ignored them. He turned and entered Tian Feng's office, closing the door behind him.
Chen Yang picked up the disclaimer from the floor. Seeing Zhang Li's signature, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile wryly.
He sat beside Zhang Li and said to her, "Sister Zhang, you're really quite foolish. How could you sign a document like this? Once you sign it, you're truly at their mercy."
"Fortunately, I arrived in time this time, otherwise..."
Chen Yang didn't continue. Both he and Zhang Li knew the consequences clearly. If Chen Yang hadn't arrived today, Zhang Li would have completely become Tian Feng's plaything.
Perhaps she had the courage to commit suicide, the courage to sue, the courage to drag Tian Feng down with her, but Zhang Li had a daughter. It was precisely because of this daughter that Zhang Li dared not do these things. She was destined to be at the mercy of both Tian Feng and Tian Hu.
On the sofa, Zhang Li shed silent tears. After an unknown amount of time, she felt her strength returning and her mind clearing up.
Zhang Li forced herself to sit up, then threw herself onto Chen Yang's shoulder, sobbing uncontrollably.
Zhang Li choked out, "Chen Yang, I'm sorry. I should have listened to you yesterday. I didn't expect Tian Hu to be such a beast. I've dragged you down."
"Now that you've beaten up Tian Feng and Tian Hu, hurry and escape. Just get out of here."
Chen Yang patted Zhang Li's back and smiled. He shook his head and said, "No need. As I said, I'll introduce you to a job. Actually, the job I'm introducing you to is also at Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Company."
Zhang Li shook her head and sighed as she said to Chen Yang, "No, I'm not going to dream anymore. I don't have that kind of luck. I graduated from university at twenty-two, got married, and had a child with my boyfriend."
"Later, while my boyfriend's career was going smoothly, he suddenly jumped off a mountain and died. Over a million yuan also disappeared. Over the years, to raise Duoduo and pay back my boyfriend's debt, I've been working the most arduous, exhausting, and low-end delivery jobs."
"Honestly, I don't know how to do anything. Although I have a bachelor's degree, I majored in business administration, such a generalist field. What can I do?"
"I've made up my mind. I'll go back to delivering food. Although it's tiring, it's honest work. When my daughter grows up one day, I can finally rest easy."
Chen Yang chuckled softly, patting Zhang Li's hair. "Sister Zhang, I'm not joking with you. You have to take this job today, whether you want to or not. Alright, go wash your face quickly and drink some water to regain your strength. There's still a lot of work to do!"
Zhang Li looked up in confusion, her eyes fixed on Chen Yang.
Chen Yang pulled Zhang Li up and led her to the faucet to wash her face.
After washing her face, Zhang Li breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile, "Actually, I knew this was probably a trap, but when they mentioned they could arrange a school for my daughter, get her into the experimental kindergarten and primary school, I was tempted."
"I never expected that scoundrel Tian Hu would dare to drug the water. I was actually on guard against them, but it was impossible to guard against everything!"
Chen Yang grinned and said, "It's okay, everything is in the past. Your daughter's school placement can also be arranged."
Zhang Li looked at Chen Yang with confusion and mumbled, "Chen Yang, what's wrong with you today? Why are you always talking nonsense? And what's with this office? Why have we been in here for so long without anyone kicking us out?"
Chen Yang laughed heartily and jumped onto the desk. "Sister Zhang, allow me to formally introduce myself. I, Chen Yang, am now the Executive President and CEO of Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Company."
"From now on, I will appoint you as the President's Executive Secretary. Your monthly salary will be one hundred thousand yuan, with bonuses calculated at the end of the year. You will be responsible for conveying all important company information to me."
Zhang Li blinked her eyes and looked at Chen Yang, puzzled. Then she shook her head and mumbled, "Chen Yang, this joke isn't funny at all. What time is it? You're still making light of the situation!"
Just then, the office door was pushed open with a "bang," and Liu Bin walked in.
Liu Bin glanced at Zhang Li, then bowed to Chen Yang and said, "President Chen, Tian Feng and Tian Hu have both been sent to the police station. I will have the company investigate their illegal activities thoroughly."
"Also, the previous Executive Secretary, Jiang Yan, has resigned and left after completing the handover. You are now in need of an Executive Secretary. Do you need me to find one for you, or to recommend someone through a headhunting firm?"
Chen Yang waved his hand and pointed at Zhang Li. "No need. She will be my Executive Secretary from now on. Manager Liu, I'll leave Sister Zhang in your care. Please guide her and help her understand her scope of work."
"Also, I promised her a monthly salary of one hundred thousand yuan with bonuses at the end of the year. Please inform the human resources department about this."
Liu Bin immediately nodded and said, "Understood, President Chen. And this doesn't require much special instruction. The normal monthly salary range for your Executive Secretary is between thirty thousand and one hundred and fifty thousand yuan, as you set it."
Chen Yang nodded. "Also, regarding her child's schooling, I heard our company has exclusive school places. Please arrange that for her, as her child needs to enroll soon."
Liu Bin nodded and said, "These are all minor matters, President Chen. Do you have any other instructions?"
Chen Yang looked at the time and waved his hand. "No more. I'm not too familiar with this company, so I won't interfere with the business casually. Manager Liu, please take care of the company going forward."
After speaking, Chen Yang nodded to Liu Bin and left the office.
Zhang Li stood there, dumbfounded. She had thought Chen Yang was joking and bragging earlier.
After all, this was Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Company, the largest pharmaceutical company in Qingzhou City, known for its excellent benefits.
Chen Yang, a delivery driver, and someone she used to look after when he was delivering food. She never imagined that in just one month, Chen Yang had become the boss of Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Company.
How was this possible? It was unbelievable.
Zhang Li's mind went blank. The dramatic ups and downs of her life made it impossible for her to think.
A moment ago, she was drowning in despair, toyed with by Tian Feng and Tian Hu, almost imprisoned and unable to escape.
But in the next moment, she had become the Executive Secretary to the President of Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Company. While this position might not sound high, Zhang Li, who had studied business administration, understood what an Executive Secretary meant.
"Miss Zhang, Miss Zhang, did you hear me?"
Liu Bin stood respectfully beside Zhang Li, softly calling out to her.
Zhang Li snapped back to reality, turned, and saw Liu Bin speaking to her politely. She was startled and quickly bowed repeatedly to Liu Bin, saying with great apprehension, "Manager Liu, I... I was distracted just now. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
Liu Bin quickly waved his hand and smiled, "Miss Zhang, you are too kind. You are President Chen's friend, and you will be his Executive Secretary. All matters, big and small, in this company will require your attention and reporting to President Chen."
Zhang Li finally came to her senses. She realized she wasn't dreaming. She had truly soared to success, and from now on, not only she but also her daughter would be completely lifted out of their dark and difficult lives.
