Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Advance SalaryCheng Su held a tea mug and sat in front of Chen Zhiquan, noticing his nervousness. She smiled and started asking about the time he joined the company, how he was doing, and if he had any insights or questions, suggesting that discussing them could be beneficial for everyone.
Chen Zhiquan had initially thought he must have done something wrong to be called in by Cheng Su for tea. However, as he listened to the casual conversation, or perhaps it was her gentle smile and relaxed tone that influenced him, he gradually loosened up and even managed to crack a smile.
Cheng Su took a sip of tea and asked, "Director Zhu mentioned that youāve been a bit preoccupied lately, and not in very good spirits, right?"
Chen Zhiquanās smile stiffened.
"Is it because the sales job is too tiring and difficult? Do you need a couple of days off to rest? Itāll be paid leave, donāt worry."
"No need, Iām not tired at all," Chen Zhiquan hastily waved off, saying, "President Cheng, I donāt need to rest."
"Then is there some trouble at home?" Cheng Su looked at the man in his thirties, who was quite different from his previously spirited self, now with a constant frown and an unmistakable look of worry in his eyes.
Chen Zhiquan shivered, his lips twitched into a forced smile, saying, "No trouble at all," though his heart was full of bitterness.
"Zhiquan, if youāre facing difficulties, just speak up. The company will extend a helping hand where it can," Cheng Su smiled and said, "Now that youāre with Joy Soon Loy, weāre all family here. Whatever the trouble, just let us know."
Chen Zhiquan looked at her, her gaze sincere, but could he really talk about the mess at home?
He couldnāt bring himself to say it.
"President Cheng, thereās really nothing wrong," Chen Zhiquan said, lowering his head to hide the bitterness in his eyes.
Seeing this, Cheng Suās brow furrowed slightly as she picked up her tea.
"President Cheng, could I possibly get an advance on my salary for one month?" Chen Zhiquan suddenly asked.
Cheng Su was taken aback; they had just paid salaries a few days ago. She then said, "Your salary as a salesperson is a base plus commission, and if I remember correctly, your base salary is twenty yuan, right? The commission is tallied at the end of the month, and itās only the beginning of the month now."
The implication was that advancing his salary wouldnāt amount to much.
However, she quickly asked, "Does your family urgently need money? How much do you need? I can advance your base salary to you, will that be enough?"
Chen Zhiquan shook his head, his face flushed as he said, "No, thatās not enough, I was hoping to advance ninety yuan."
Cheng Su looked at him for a while and then said, "Then go get a slip from Xiao Ya."
Chen Zhiquan swiftly lifted his head, looking at her in shock, and said, "You, youāre willing to give it to me?"
"Although I donāt know what you need the money for, and since youāre not telling, I wonāt pry further. Iāve checked, and your commission from last month was two hundred yuan. This month, if you work hard, you should be able to make those ninety yuan in orders, right?" Cheng Su said with a slight smile.
Chen Zhiquan hastily nodded, saying, "I will, I definitely will, you can count on me."
"Good, then work hard. As for personal issues, try not to let them affect your work. As I said, if you have difficulties, just bring them up. If the company can help, we certainly will," Cheng Su encouraged.
Chen Zhiquan nodded profusely, full of gratitude, "President Cheng, I understand. I will definitely manage my emotions and work hard."
Cheng Su offered a few more words of encouragement and then called for Xiao Ya, instructing her to advance ninety yuan to Chen Zhiquan.
Listening to this, Chen Zhiquan felt his eyes welling up with gratitude. He had never expected Cheng Su to approve an advance on his salary without any hesitation.
