In Gao Mantang's view, Xiang Yu is a capable person. Although he didn't know the other party's specific identity, he thought that Xiang Yu shouldn't be doing too badly in society.
Tie Zhuzi follows Xiang Yu, and since Xiang Yu isn't doing badly, Tie Zhuzi shouldn't be too far off either. But looking at Tie Zhuzi's outfit, he doesn't seem like a wealthy person.
A salary of five thousand a month isn't considered very low in society; an average white-collar worker earns about this much.
Moreover, Tie Zhuzi doesn't seem like someone with much education, so this salary should allow for comfortable living.
Unexpectedly, Tie Zhuzi laughed after hearing about the five thousand salary and said, "So your salaries are that low."
Hearing this, Gao Mantang realized that the kid was dissatisfied with the salary. He quickly said, "Five thousand five hundred, I can't go any higher. Any more would exceed the budget."
"How about six thousand?" Tie Zhuzi said.
