Sweet little assistant, CEO's sweetheart
Chapter 13 Becoming Your Own Confidence
I got my salary in the afternoon.
Seeing the bank account arrival information on her mobile phone, Kuang Weiwei felt her energy and spirit returned.
The monthly bonus, plus salary, totals more than 60,000.
After working at Shen Group for two years, she saved a small amount of money.
Originally, I could have saved more.
However, her parents, to be precise, were a new family formed by her biological mother and another man, her stepfather.
They needed money, and half of every salary had to be handed over, plus she had to pay rent, so there wasn't much left.
However, even so, she still saved the money.
Over time, you will have your own little treasury.
After the salaries were paid, the entire Shen Group was filled with a sense of happiness.
After all, working in Shen Group, the salary is higher than that of peers.
Zhou Xiaoyou looked at the salary that had arrived and gently nudged the girl next to him with his elbow.
"Weiwei, it's time to get paid. Where are we going to party tonight? Do you want to go out with us?"
What Zhou Xiaoyou said was that she and her friends were all extroverts, social experts who were not afraid of any occasion. Crowded places were their natural stage.
Kuang Weiwei has few friends because she wants to save money. If she wants to socialize, she has to spend money.
She also wanted to go out and play, but if she did, her little money would fly away. The thought of spending money made her feel very painful.
In the end, she shook her head and said, "I'm not going. I have other things to do."
Zhou Xiaoyou was puzzled. "Weiwei, your salary isn't bad, so why do you rarely go out to play? Could it be that... you're saving your money to find a boyfriend?"
Kuang was stunned for a moment.
After a few seconds, he laughed, "Why do you think so?"
"Think about it, having a boyfriend requires dressing up, buying beautiful dresses, and purchasing cosmetics. This is not a small expense. So, are you saving money to plan for getting a boyfriend and getting married in the future?"
"No, I didn't think of it that way."
Zhou Xiaoyou was puzzled. "That's strange. Since you don't want to make friends or go out to play, are you saving money for your retirement? You're only 23. Isn't it a bit too early to plan for your old age?"
Kuang Weiwei answered casually, "Because I have to support my family, I have to give half of my salary to my mother."
After she said that, she felt a little regretful. Her family situation was complicated and she didn't want others to know about it.
Zhou Xiaoyou was obviously stunned.
"Give half? Did your mother take it?"
Kuang Weiwei didn't understand why she was so surprised. Wasn't it normal to give household expenses? Even though she gave only half of it, she felt a little reluctant.
She nodded and forced a smile. "It wasn't easy for my mother to raise me. Now that I'm grown up and making money, it's normal for me to give her some money for the family expenses."
Zhou Xiaoyou gave a thumbs up.
"What a wonderful young man of our time! Weiwei, I wonder you've always been so noble!"
Kuang Weiwei was a little overwhelmed by the compliment, "No."
Zhou Xiaoyou didn't give up the topic and pulled the chair closer to her. It was almost time to get off work anyway, so she could chat for a while. If the boss found out, he wouldn't deduct her salary.
"Weiwei, is your family having a hard time?"
Zhou Xiaoyou is not the kind of person who likes to pry into other people's privacy, so she and Kuang Weiwei have been colleagues for almost two years and she has never asked about her family affairs.
However, Kuang Weiwei mentioned that she would give half of her salary to her family, and she couldn't help but wonder what was going on.
She asked with concern: "If your family is in trouble, I can lend you some money. I have some extra money on hand."
Kuang shook his head slightly, "No, it's just that I have an older brother at home, and he needs more money. My parents said that since I have a high salary, I should help him out more. We are all family. If he lives well, he will give me some help in the future."
"Your eldest brother, does he spend a lot of money? In what areas does he spend the most money?"
"Is he ill?"
Kuang Weiwei doesn't have many friends, and Zhou Xiaoyou treats her well and is very kind-hearted. Today, she suddenly wants to get it off her chest and say what has been suppressed in her heart for many years.
"Actually, he's not my biological brother."
Kuang Weiwei held the coffee cup, as if doing so could give her the courage and strength to continue speaking.
"My mom and his dad are a blended family. The dad I call now is my stepfather."
Zhou Xiaoyou understood that Weiwei's mother was divorced and married to another man, who also had a son, who was her stepbrother.
"My mother always said that it was not easy for her to raise me alone. If she hadn't met this man now, she would have had to work hard all her life."
"That man, is he very capable?"
Kuang shook his head slightly, "I had a job before, but now I'm unemployed."
"So, you took out half of your salary just to support them?"
"How old is your stepfather?"
"Forty-seven, less than fifty."
Zhou Xiaoyou was incredulous when she heard this. "He's retired at 47? He's going to rely on you for support? He's a middle-aged man with arms and legs. Why can't he go out and find a job?"
"It was mainly because my mother asked me for money."
When Kuang Weiwei's mother and father divorced, Kuang Weiwei was only one year old. It was not easy for a single mother to raise a child. Since childhood, she had been telling Kuang Weiwei to be filial and spend the money she earned on her.
Kuang Weiwei has heard this sentence for more than ten years, like a tight curse.
Kuang Weiwei didn't want to be an unfilial daughter, so her mother asked her to take the money, so she took it and asked Kuang Weiwei to give her half of her salary. When Kuang Weiwei hesitated, her mother started crying and making a fuss, saying that she had raised her in vain. Kuang Weiwei couldn't bear to hear this, because she was not an ungrateful person.
So, her mother succeeded in taking half of her salary from her.
Zhou Xiaoyou looked at her sympathetically, "Weiwei, you are so pitiful."
The unhappiness of parents’ marriage is the source of misfortune for many children.
Kuang forced a faint smile and said, "No, I'm still very lucky. I joined the Shen Group and have a good job. I pay my mother a salary, and she is quite satisfied."
Can you be dissatisfied?
Weiwei worked hard to earn her salary, and after receiving it, she transferred half of it. Her salary was not low, and half of it was 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, which was enough for a family to live a good life for a month.
No wonder Weiwei rarely goes out to play with them.
Her rent is more than 5,000 yuan a month, and the company only provides lunch, breakfast and dinner, which she has to pay for herself, which is another expense.
Weiwei is very frugal, just to save money, which will become her confidence in the future.
"Poor girl, but it's okay. After all the hardship comes happiness. Your good days will surely come soon."
Kuang Weiwei was very grateful to Zhou Xiaoyou for listening to her and encouraging her.
"Thank you, Xiaoyou."
"Silly girl, your family situation is a bit complicated. If you are unhappy, remember to tell me."
"I'm very happy that you're willing to listen to me."
Zhou Xiaoyou wanted to hold her in her arms and comfort her, "You're welcome, we are colleagues and friends. If you need any help, just tell me."
