A direct 50% raise, that's more than generous!
Especially since the three of them already had high incomes to begin with.
After the raise, Yelena and Bakova's annual income would exceed or be close to two million US dollars!
Even Nova's annual income would be around one million US dollars...
This salary, in 2004's Moscow, was definitely top-tier treatment!
It wasn't just young people like Yelena and Bakova, who had just completed their doctorates; even many executives of large companies and top professors from prestigious universities didn't earn this much!
From this, it's clear that Wang Ye was indeed very generous with the people around him, especially his trusted subordinates.
Because talents are hard to come by, particularly those whom you've trained yourself and can trust to handle important tasks, they're even rarer...
Therefore, Wang Ye would never be stingy with this bit of money.
