Chapter 411 - 192: A Dream Job
Xu Li’s family was stunned to hear the salary package Jiang Tao offered.
30,000 a month!
Even in Beijing, that’s considered a high salary.
Many master’s and doctoral degree holders don’t earn this much.
Xu Wencheng felt both flattered and anxious.
At his age, he was already thankful not to have been laid off from his company.
Now his son-in-law was recruiting him and offering him a monthly salary of 30,000?
He’s a man in his fifties, what did he do to deserve this?
Xu Li didn’t expect her husband to be so generous.
Anyone could see that this salary was grossly inflated!
"Jiang Tao, about the salary..."
Xu Wencheng was just about to say that he didn’t think his abilities matched the salary, but Jiang Tao interrupted him.
"Of course, 30,000 is just the base salary."
"Once the account takes off, along with gift sharing and merchandise sharing, it’ll only be more than that."
Xu Wencheng’s family was once again dumbfounded by Jiang Tao’s words.
What did that mean?
Did it mean that in the future the salary would be more than 30,000??
"Uh, no, Jiang Tao, that’s not what I meant."
Xu Wencheng thought Jiang Tao had misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained:
"I didn’t mean that the salary was low, it’s too high, the salary you’re giving me is too high."
"Yeah, Jiang Tao, your father is at this age already..."
Du Yongmei also wanted Old Xu to earn a little more.
But what Jiang Tao was offering was just too much.
So much that she and Xu Wencheng felt unworthy of it.
Jiang Tao smiled and interrupted:
"We’re family, let’s not talk like outsiders, the salary will be as I said."
"Dad, just say whether you’ll come or not."
"..."
After hearing Jiang Tao’s words, Xu Wencheng and Du Yongmei exchanged glances, then looked toward their eldest daughter.
At that moment, the elderly couple’s hearts were quite conflicted.
Du Yongmei’s feelings of guilt toward Jiang Tao peaked in an instant!
Remembering how she used to treat Jiang Tao with disdain, indifference, and contempt.
She felt like slapping herself!
Such a good son-in-law, she had only focused on his shortcomings before, unable to see his merits.
Now, not only did her son-in-law not hold grudges, he even invited the family to Beijing for a holiday.
He took the whole family to dine, drink, play, and shop.
He even arranged high-paying jobs for her daughter and husband.
She really must have been blind and out of her mind before!
Xu Li, standing by, laughed happily:
"Dad! What are you hesitating for! Just agree to my husband’s offer!"
"That way, you, Mom, and Sasha can all stay in Beijing."
"Yeah, Dad! Brother-in-law is sincerely inviting you, just agree to him!"
Xu Sha also urged her father to agree to stay.
She was used to living with her parents and didn’t want to stay in Beijing alone for work.
"Old man, Xiao Tao has good intentions, you have to work hard and not disappoint his expectations."
Du Yongmei’s words also showed her support for Xu Wencheng staying.
"Thank you very much, Xiao Tao! From now on, I’ll follow your lead."
Faced with Jiang Tao’s sincere invitation and the approval of the whole family.
Xu Wencheng readily agreed.
Fishing every day and earning over 30,000 a month.
For an avid fishing enthusiast, this was like a dream job!
"Then it’s settled, just take some time to resign from your current job, and you can join our company."
Jiang Tao smiled seeing his father-in-law accept his offer.
[Teach a man to fish rather than give him a fish] - this task was completed so effortlessly.
"Great! I’ll call them later, the resignation process won’t be a problem."
Xu Wencheng nodded with a smile, filled with anticipation for his new job.
Jiang Tao laughed and said, "This place will be home for you, Mom, and Sasha. It’s your new home now."
Xu Wencheng and Du Yongmei were moved once again by Jiang Tao’s words.
Though Jiang Tao didn’t explicitly say they could stay as long as they wanted, it was clearly implied.
Arranging work and a place to stay.
Such a good son-in-law, why didn’t they appreciate him before!
"Thank you, Jiang Tao, for everything, even though I treated you like that before..."
Du Yongmei suddenly felt her eyes well up, staring at Jiang Tao with eyes full of apology.
Jiang Tao laughed generously: "The past is the past, we’re family, let’s not talk like outsiders."
"Yes, the past is the past, and we have a long future ahead, a harmonious family is the key to success, let’s all be joyful!"
Xu Li put her arm around Jiang Tao’s, her gaze softened, and her love for him deepened.
After discussing the job change, Xu Li went to chat with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
Jiang Tao and his father-in-law Xu Wencheng chatted leisurely about future work plans for more than half an hour.
As soon as the topic of fishing came up, Xu Wencheng couldn’t stop talking.
He had a wealth of experience and insights in this area, effortlessly reciting rhymes.
"Fish shallow in rising water, deep in retreating water; fish shallow in murky water, deep in clear water."
"Pick narrow in wide, wide in narrow, mid in moderate."
"Hide in cool deep water in summer, fish by the shore in spring and fall, find grassy spots in winter."
"Fish gather at river mouths when water rises, hide in deep pools when water falls, fish both ends with southwest wind, surprises hide in weeds and shade."
With decades of passion, Xu Wencheng honed his fishing skills to perfection.
