Chapter 25: Chapter 25 - 25 25 Today Im buying

Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Today, I’m buying Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Today, I’m buying “Here’s the situation. The Chief Editor and I have reviewed the Boys’ Love manga draft you submitted last time. We think it has great potential. We need talented individuals like you at our company. Thus, the company has decided exceptionally to change your temporary contract to a regular one, with a monthly salary of five thousand for the first year, plus a year-end bonus. What do you think?”

George Davis looked at Cherish Turner with a pleased smile, knowing if he kept her happy, securing future investments in their manga society would be no problem.

“Five thousand?” Cherish Turner was taken aback. It was extremely hard for a newbie to get such a high salary!

“Do you think it’s too low?” George Davis asked with a difficult expression on his face, acknowledging that salaries were indeed high in the city, but five thousand in your first year at a manga company was quite a good offer!

“No, no, no. Chief Editor, I…”

“In that case, I’ll add another five hundred. We’ll also raise your bonus by ten percent. That should do it, right, Cherish? Our company’s financial situation isn’t the best currently. However, we can always negotiate again regarding your salary if things improve in the future!”

George Davis was sincere with his proposal, leaving Cherish Turner in disbelief.

She had never dreamed of such a high salary. Five thousand five hundred a month would amount to sixty-six thousand in a year, plus the year-end bonus… My goodness!

“Is it for real, Chief Editor? Am I truly being made permanent?”

“Of course! I, George Davis, always keep my word. Once you agree, you can go sort it out with HR.”

Cherish Turner was still dazed from the unexpected piece of good fortune. She nodded fervently, before heading in a daze to HR.

After Cherish Turner left, George Davis immediately dialed a number. The call was answered in a few seconds.

“Hello, may I speak to President Griffith? Yes…yes, I’ve carried out your instructions as you directed… okay… okay, I’ll make sure it’s done. Thank you for all your help in the future, President Griffith!”

On his end, after hanging up, William Griffith looked out the window and smiled.

“The boss is in a great mood today.”

Hearing this, William Griffith restrained his smile. “Aren’t you busy?”

“No, no, no, let me get back to work…”

——

Not until HR processed and officially gave her the permanent contract with a huge smile did Cherish Turner finally leave the HR department.

What kind of day was it that she encountered such good luck?

Just when she was about to share the good news with her mother as she waited to clock out, an unknown number called her.

“Hello?” Cherish Turner picked up, her voice filled with doubt.

“Have you gotten off work?”

“Can’t you recognize my voice?”

William Griffith’s deep voice came through the receiver.

“I haven’t. What do you want?” Cherish Turner didn’t want to get involved with him, she was even a bit afraid of him.

“I’ll come pick you up in a bit.”

“For what?”

Upon hearing her apprehensive voice, William Griffith could not help but laugh, “It seems Miss Turner has forgotten that you promised to have dinner with me.”

“…” Cherish Turner deflated at his reminder. But now that she had a stable job and steady income, she didn’t have to worry about appeasing others today!

“Fine, we’ll have dinner. But today, I’m paying!”

“Oh?”

“Just so you know, I got paid today. Don’t assume I’m penniless!”

Today, Cherish Turner could finally hold her head high. She felt especially fierce.

Listening to her on the phone, William Griffith was in a particularly good mood, looking far into the distance with a soft gaze.

“All right, you’re paying. I’ll bring Lewis with me in a while.”

For some reason, she felt a little embarrassed when he agreed.
