Chapter 1582: Chapter 94: The Wang Family! Unfathomably Deep Foundations (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_5
“No problem, no problem, it’s our fault for disrupting…” Elder Pei waved his hand and was about to offer so words of comfort, but suddenly froze mid-sentence. “Five hundred Qian Gold? Didn’t you just say it was one month’s salary deduction?”
“It is indeed one month’s salary,” Dugu Lingyu replied ekly.
“Are your Qian Gold coins in Dongqian particularly small?” Elder Pei’s eyes were filled with suspicion. “What’s the exchange rate with Immortal Crystals?”
“Our Qian Gold coins aren’t small at all. I heard the Qian Gold coins are minted based on the Immortal Dynasty’s Gold Coin standards, with an exchange rate of one to one hundred for Immortal Crystals,” Dugu Lingyu answered earnestly.
“Impossible!” A Spirit Platform Realm Artifact Refiner from the Immortal Dynasty widened his eyes. “According to you, wouldn’t your annual salary amount to sixty Immortal Crystals?”
He couldn’t believe it, as he had worked tirelessly in the Black Armor Division for an entire year and only earned fourteen Immortal Crystals.
“Well…” Dugu Lingyu recalled the details and couldn’t help but cough awkwardly before explaining reluctantly, “Currently, it is indeed sixty Immortal Crystals. But with extra allowances and bonuses, it typically reaches eighty Immortal Crystals.”
He could only state the truth, but he couldn’t help feeling so pity for these Immortal Dynasty people with such low incos. Earning just over ten Immortal Crystals a year—how does one even live like that?
“…”
The Artifact Refiner’s eyes widened in disbelief.
The other Immortal Dynasty Artifact Refiners were also in an uproar.
They didn’t know whether it was true, but even if it was, surely this young man must be an exception. Could the Wang family have intentionally given him a specially inflated allowance? This annual salary was truly enough to inspire envy, jealousy, and bitterness.
As they were talking—
A mature woman with an exceptionally professional appearance akin to pre-Cultivation office styles in the mortal realm walked over, flanked by a few assistants.
“Old Ancestor Xiao Han, Fourth Brother.” The woman greeted everyone along the way, then politely addressed Elder Pei, “You must be Elder Pei? I’m Wang JingLei, one of the Deputy Heads of the Wang Clan’s Artifact Refining Headquarters and also in charge of the personnel departnt. I was originally planning to connect with you at the welco banquet about your annual salary contract, but I heard you decided to inspect the workshop first.”
Elder Pei stared at Wang JingLei in stunned silence.
This young woman was indeed beautiful, but why was her hair fully loose, all wavy and curling like a series of waves, and even her arms exposed outside her sleeves?
This kind of “outrageous” styling imdiately struck a chord of disapproval in the old-school Elder Pei’s heart. He thought to himself that if any young woman in his clan dared dress so boldly, he would personally ensure they learned to rethink their choices—possibly while hobbling on crutches.
Hmph, this Dongqian place truly is an uncivilized Savage Land.
“Elder Pei, please take a look at this—your temporary employnt contract. It includes so rules, restrictions, and standards for your salary,” Wang JingLei said politely yet efficiently, taking the contract from an assistant and handing it to Elder Pei. “Pay particular attention to the salary section to see if there are any issues.”
“Considering that you are a Divine Power Territory Refining Master and a Guest Elder from the Immortal Dynasty, the salary we’re offering is slightly higher than that of an ordinary Divine Power Territory Tribute. For now, it’s tentatively set at forty thousand Immortal Crystals annually, with additional cultivation package subsidies and year-end bonuses. In total, your annual remuneration should be around fifty-five to sixty thousand Immortal Crystals.”
As Wang JingLei spoke the first part of her statent, Elder Pei remained expressionless. However, when he heard “forty thousand Immortal Crystals annually” and “with bonuses around fifty-five to sixty thousand,” his mind suddenly thundered with a deafening “BOOM!”
“What—fifty-five to sixty thousand Immortal Crystals per year?!”
Elder Pei’s mouth gaped wide, and his eyes almost popped out.
Had he misheard? Back at the Black Armor Division, he had been earning a asly twelve thousand for countless years!
“Elder Pei?” Wang JingLei slightly furrowed her brows and asked in a low voice, “Do you find anything unsatisfactory with the annual salary? If you have any objections, feel free to raise them—I can discuss it with the other departnt heads.”
In an instant, tears almost welled up in Elder Pei’s eyes.
His legs began to wobble, and he beca overwheld as he looked at Wang JingLei. This wasn’t just so young girl; this was clearly the Goddess of Wealth!
Even the “peculiar” style he had ntally ridiculed earlier suddenly beca entirely tolerable—in fact, utterly charming.
Such lovely wavy curls! Such innovative, avant-garde aesthetic exploration! And as for “breaking legs” and the like—those were obviously just baseless fantasies, fantasies!
