Chapter 114 Mo Xiaobei Was Promoted Without a Salary Increase
Mo Xiaobei sat down and carefully read the appointment notice word by word. The smile on his face gradually disappeared. Seeing this, Yan Ruolan also looked at the screen: "What's wrong?"

"Why didn't it say that the salary follows the corresponding standard of the rank system?" Mo Xiaobei said to himself.

"Of course the promotion will result in a salary increase. If you don't write it down, it might be too sensitive." Yan Ruolan said.

Mo Xiaobei had a bad premonition: "I can't... just a word..."

"Why don't you ask Sister Min?" Yan Ruolan suggested.

Mo Xiaobei frowned: "Well... that's the only way..."

……

Mo Xiaobei came to Zhang Min's work station after everyone left the office after get off work, and asked tentatively: "Sister Min, I saw the appointment notice..."

"Congratulations, Xiaobei." Zhang Min said while packing his things.

Mo Xiaobei hesitated and said, "Thank you... I want to ask... I didn't see the salary mentioned in it, so I want to ask, how much is my salary compared to the standard M1?"

Zhang Min suddenly realized: "Ah... I forgot to tell you... Considering that you are a newcomer, and the salary is high, and now you have been promoted to manager in less than a year, so the company decided to keep the salary unchanged for the time being." , and then make adjustments when the salary is raised next year."

"Sister Min...but..." Mo Xiaobei wanted to say something else.

Zhang Min hurriedly replied: "I'm off work, let's go back quickly...I'll go first...Come on..."

Mo Xiaobei watched Zhang Min leave with mixed feelings in his heart, full of grievances and unwillingness.

Yan Ruolan watched Mo Xiaobei walk out of the office listlessly, and immediately stepped forward to comfort her, "Xiaobei, come to your house tonight, and I'll make you a delicious meal to celebrate your promotion, okay?"

"Forget it, promotion without salary increase, there is nothing to celebrate, promotion is not the most important thing for me, salary increase is my ultimate pursuit." Mo Xiaobei mourned.

"Xiaobei, my short video has become popular recently, and I learned a few more dishes. It's not a celebration for you, so why don't you give me a try?"

Mo Xiaobei looked at Yan Ruolan's high spirits, and didn't want to spoil her interest: "Okay then, I'll go get things, and I'll be here right away."

……

Mo Xiaobei followed Yan Ruolan in the supermarket, Yan Ruolan was choosing various products with great interest, Mo Xiaobei was listless, his face was full of exhaustion and helplessness.

Yan Ruolan was rushing to the cashier when she ran into Gu Yan by chance, and she went to say hello first: "Mr. Gu, what a coincidence."

"Ruolan? Why are you here?" Gu Yan asked in surprise.

Yan Ruolan pointed to Mo Xiaobei who was picking beer not far away, and said playfully, "I'm going to play at Xiaobei's house today to celebrate her promotion to HR Manager."

Gu Yan looked at Mo Xiaobei who was not far away, and asked Ruolan with a smile: "If you don't mind, why don't you count me as one? Shall I cook?"

"Okay, okay, I'm really flattered, I'll tell Xiaobei right away." Yan Ruolan cheered happily, and Gu Yan followed behind.

"Xiao Bei, we're lucky today. Mr. Gu said he's going to cook and treat us to dinner." Yan Ruolan pulled Mo Xiaobei and said.

Mo Xiaobei put the selected beer into the shopping cart, with a surprised expression on his face: "Huh?"

"To celebrate your promotion." President Gu said.

"Ah? No need." Mo Xiaobei said awkwardly: "It's not a big deal."

"Isn't promotion and salary increase your heart's desire? Why? It doesn't matter if you get it?" Gu Yan joked.

Mo Xiaobei didn't speak, and continued shopping with the cart.

Yan Ruolan said: "I got half of it. Xiao Bei is having trouble."

"What do you mean?" Gu Yan asked.

"The promotion didn't raise the salary." Yan Ruolan pouted.

Gu Yan looked at Mo Xiaobei's figure and thought that she must be very depressed.

……

The three of them went to Gu Yan's house together, and Gu Yan said, "You can do whatever you want." He put the dishes in the kitchen by himself, and Yan Ruolan exclaimed as soon as he entered the door: "Mr. Gu, your home is well decorated and tasteful."

Mo Xiaobei bent down, darkened the entrance cabinet lightly, took out the slippers and put them in front of Yan Ruolan, changed into the pair he usually wears himself, and put the things he just bought into the kitchen;

Yan Ruolan was stunned for a moment, and then said to herself: "This shoe cabinet is too secretive. If you don't look carefully, you won't know it's a shoe cabinet. It's really high-end."

Gu Yan poured Yan Ruolan a cup of scented tea, and Mo Xiaobei a cup of boiled water: "You guys sit and watch TV, I'll cook, whatever you want, Ruolan."

Mo Xiaobei sat down on his own, turned on the TV, picked up a glass and drank water.

"Okay." Yan Ruolan opened the drink and drank, Yan Ruolan looked around like Mo Xiaobei who came to Gu Yan's house for the first time: "President Gu, we have worked together for a long time, and this is the first time to come to your house."

While washing the vegetables, Gu Yan said, "From then on, I will come here more often."

Yan Ruolan responded with a smile, sat down side by side with Mo Xiaobei, and took a sip of scented tea: "Mmm...it's really delicious..."

She looked at Mo Xiaobei and noticed the cup in her hand: "Our two cups are different, your cup is so girly."

It was only then that Mo Xiaobei noticed his own cup, and then he remembered that every time he came to Gu Yan's place, he used this cup to drink water.

"I didn't expect Mr. Gu's family to have such a girly cup." Yan Ruolan took the cup from Mo Xiaobei's hand.

"Isn't it childish?" Mo Xiaobei said in disgust.

"No, it's very cute." Yan Ruolan couldn't like it, and then looked at Gu Yan in the kitchen: "Let's go help, I'm so sorry to sit here. I don't treat myself as an outsider..."

"It's okay, Mr. Gu likes to cook, but you two can compare cooking skills." Mo Xiaobei looked at the TV and said.

Gu Yan continued to be busy with the work in hand, and saw Yan Ruolan walking towards him, "Ruolan, check to see if there are still tomatoes in the refrigerator."

"Um, good." Yan Ruolan opened the refrigerator and rummaged through it, and found a lot of ice cream in the freezer. She couldn't help laughing out loud, thinking: Mr. Gu actually likes ice cream?
"What's wrong?" Gu Yan asked.

"It's nothing, I still have two tomatoes." Yan Ruolan closed the refrigerator and handed the food to Gu Yan. Yan Ruolan visited Gu Yan's house again, and sat down to watch variety shows with Mo Xiaobei.

About an hour later, the table was already full of dishes, Gu Yan said, "It's time to eat."

"Come on." Yan Ruolan walked into the dining table and said, "Mr. Gu, what a peerless good man you are, tsk tsk tsk... No, I'm about to drool."

She sat down at the dining table: "Xiao Bei, come quickly, Mr. Gu is really skilled."

"Yan Ruolan, it seems that the company has suppressed your character. I didn't realize that you talk so much before, and you are so good at talking." Gu Yan said with a smile as he put down the bowls and chopsticks.

"That's right, I think so too." Yan Ruolan smiled and said, "I didn't realize that your cooking skills are so good before."

Mo Xiaobei answered, "Ruolan is running her own short video, which specializes in cooking and has a lot of fans. You can compare cooking skills."

Gu Yan picked up Mo Xiaobei's bowl and filled her with a bowl of soup. Just as he was about to put down the spoon, Yan Ruolan brought the bowl to him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Gu."

Gu Yan shook his hand carrying the soup, and accidentally spilled the soup on his hands. He was looking around for a tissue, but couldn't find it, so Mo Xiaobei put down the bowl: "Wait a minute, I'll get it."

Seeing that Mo Xiaobei didn't even ask Gu Yan, Yan Ruolan skillfully found the location of the napkins, opened them and took out a few to give to Gu Yan. The question marks in her heart grew bigger and bigger.
