Chapter 236 Reasonable Allocation
When Ma Junjie heard the words "an extra source of income," his pupils contracted sharply.
He stared at Wang Shiyi's delicate yet sly face, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Sister Wang, what... what do you mean by that?" Ma Junjie's voice turned somber, and he subconsciously took a half-step away from her.
A gust of cold wind blew in through the window at the end of the corridor, making his back feel a little chilly.
Wang Shiyi, however, didn't seem to mind. Instead, she moved closer, and that strange fragrance wafted towards her again.
But to Ma Junjie at this moment, it had a slightly pungent smell.
Wang Shiyi spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Ah Jie, you're a smart man, why pretend you don't understand?"
"The fact that Deputy Captain Zhang's year-end bonus was used as compensation was known only to a few people in the private room; no one else knew..."
"Especially Liu Xiaoshan, he is absolutely completely ignorant, which leaves a lot of room for manipulation."
"Hehe!" Wang Shiyi laughed as she spoke.
"Ah Jie, Liu Xiaoshan is just an ordinary security guard, and he didn't die... How much we give him is up to us, isn't it?"
"We... need to be more flexible!"
Ma Junjie was greatly shocked when he heard this.
He clenched his teeth, his brows furrowed in a deep frown.
"Sister Wang, this is compensation for Liu Xiaoshan. Although he didn't die, it's still money he earned risking his life. We can't pocket it!"
"Take it for yourself?" Wang Shiyi chuckled lightly, a hint of disdain in her eyes.
"Ah Jie, don't use such an offensive term as 'embezzlement,' we call this a fair distribution."
"Heh, you're probably new here and don't know many things yet..."
"Let me put it this way: it's commonplace for security team members to be injured or even killed..."
"But under your previous security captain, and Deputy Captain Zhang Qiang, when did they ever distribute the full amount of compensation and benefits?"
"They always keep a portion for themselves, firstly to bribe their superiors, and secondly so that those of us who run errands can get a share of the profits... It's the rule, everyone in the industry knows it."
Ma Junjie was shocked to hear this. He hadn't expected things to be so corrupt. They even embezzled other people's compensation and pensions. Was this something a human being would do?
He wanted to say something more, but Wang Shiyi spoke first.
"Ah Jie, do you think it was easy for me to run around and get the money from the finance department this time?"
"The finance department had so many layers of checks. If it weren't for me having General Manager Jiang's signed documents and my mediation, this money wouldn't have come through so quickly! Who knows if it will even come through in the future!"
These words struck a nerve with Ma Junjie.
He knew the situation inside.
Zhang Qiang is a distant relative of Jiang Hao. The reason Jiang Hao asked Zhang Qiang to use his year-end bonus as compensation was largely because he was angry at the time.
Perhaps after some time has passed and his anger has subsided, Jiang Hao will change his mind again.
Just like Wang Shiyi said, it's uncertain whether the money will come through.
Ma Junjie thought to himself,
Wang Shiyi actively mediated the money issue, and her contribution was immense and beyond doubt.
Furthermore, Liu Xiaoshan's subsequent work-related injury determination and hospital expense settlement will also depend on Wang Shiyi's coordination.
Now, if he were to fall out with Wang Shiyi directly, the disadvantages would probably outweigh the advantages.
Ma Junjie fell silent for a moment.
Wang Shiyi noticed Ma Junjie's hesitation, softened her tone, and added a hint of persuasion.
"Ah Jie, your salary isn't high since you just started working here, you need to learn how to earn extra money!"
"If this matter is handled well, you will receive a considerable sum of money. I... I'm just asking if you would be willing to accept some compensation for your trouble."
"Besides, Ah Jie, all I'm doing this for is for your own good. You should understand my good intentions, right?"
Ma Junjie looked at Wang Shiyi, recalling how he had previously found her beautiful and charming.
Now, however, I find her increasingly sharp-tongued and cunning.
Ma Junjie knew he had no way out now. He gritted his teeth and asked,
"Sister Wang, how do you want to divide the money?"
Seeing that Ma Junjie had finally relented, Wang Shiyi smiled smugly and patted her briefcase.
"There's a total of 88,000 here. I don't need much, just give me 8,000 as a tip."
"Of the remaining 80,000, I suggest you keep 60,000 and give the remaining 20,000 to Liu Xiaoshan."
"Hehe, for Liu Xiaoshan, that country bumpkin from the countryside, 20,000 yuan is a huge sum of money. He definitely won't say a word."
Ma Junjie's heart sank. He hadn't expected Wang Shiyi to have such a big appetite, asking for eight thousand right off the bat and telling him to only give Liu Xiaoshan twenty thousand.
But now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to agree.
"Alright, we'll do it your way."
Upon hearing this, Wang Shiyi beamed with joy.
She probably thought Ma Junjie was really quick-witted and understood immediately.
She smiled and took out a wad of cash from her briefcase.
"Ah Jie, there are exactly eight thousand here. The rest are eight stacks, which is eighty thousand."
"I won't stand on ceremony, I'll keep this eight thousand myself."
As she spoke, Wang Shiyi stuffed the money into her small bag right in front of Ma Junjie.
After putting the money away, Wang Shiyi's face seemed to darken, as if she regretted it and wasn't satisfied with only receiving eight thousand.
She looked into the distance and said,
"Ah Jie, let's go now, let's go to the ward to deliver the money."
"Be careful not to let anything slip. We'll stick to the same story: the compensation is 20,000."
As she spoke, Wang Shiyi's face showed disdain, and she began to walk forward in her high heels.
He muttered to himself again.
"Tch, that country bumpkin, he just got lucky!"
"2 yuan, that's a huge profit!"
Ma Junjie listened silently from behind, without saying a word.
A moment later, the two pushed open the ward door and went inside.
In the ward, Liu Xiaoshan lay quietly, his face pale, his right eye, wrapped in gauze, looking particularly glaring.
He was greatly surprised to see Ma Junjie return by chance.
He struggled to sit up, making groaning and squeaking noises as he did so.
Ma Junjie quickly stepped forward and held him down.
"Xiaoshan, don't move, just lie down!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoshan stopped with a grin.
Wang Shiyi watched quietly, her face instantly transforming into a professional and gentle smile.
She walked to the bedside and said,
"You must be Liu Xiaoshan?"
Liu Xiaoshan turned his head and immediately greeted him.
"Hello, Assistant Wang!"
Wang Shiyi raised her hand to interrupt Liu Xiaoshan.
"Hehe, don't be shy."
"We're all family, don't be so polite."
As she spoke, Wang Shiyi frowned.
"Alas, Liu Xiaoshan, I am truly heartbroken by what you have suffered!"
Wang Shiyi's tone was deep, and her voice trembled slightly.
Liu Xiaoshan listened, deeply moved, and said...
"Assistant Wang, thank you... thank you for your concern. I'm fine now, everything's alright!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Shiyi's expression changed instantly.
"Oh, it's alright now!"
Wang Shiyi took out two stacks of RMB banknotes bundled with rubber bands from her bag and handed them to Liu Xiaoshan.
"Xiaoshan, this is the compensation money that General Manager Jiang asked me to deliver to you, a total of 20,000 yuan."
"President Jiang said that you have been very responsible at the entertainment center. The company feels very bad about this accident. Please take this money and focus on recovering. The company will also take full responsibility for the subsequent medical expenses."
Liu Xiaoshan's eyes widened instantly when he saw the two thick stacks of money in front of him.
His hands trembled slightly as he looked at Wang Shiyi in disbelief.
"Assistant Wang... Assistant Wang, the money... is too much... I... I can't..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Shiyi revealed a hint of impatience.
She tossed the money down next to Liu Xiaoshan.
"Xiaoshan, Mr. Jiang cares about you, so please accept this."
"But this is too much money; I feel unworthy of it!" Liu Xiaoshan said, somewhat agitated.
He picked up the money directly, intending to return it to Wang Shiyi.
Just as Liu Xiaoshan reached out with the money in his hand, Ma Junjie stepped forward and grabbed his hand.
He spoke in a commanding tone.
"Xiaoshan, this is a token of our appreciation from Assistant Wang and General Manager Jiang. Please accept it!"
Liu Xiaoshan was stunned, staring blankly at Ma Junjie...
