When President Jiang announced that everyone would receive a ten thousand RMB red packet, all the employees cheered in excitement.
Xia Shiyu, who stood beside him, facepalmed as she whispered, "Didn't you say you would give the employees of New Era a red packet? How did it become everyone? "
Hearing this, Jiang Chen also paused for a moment. But then he smiled. "It's okay! Everyone had contributed, and everyone deserved to be rewarded. Future Technology has a lot of employees, but no one is redundant! "
His words were sonorous and forceful.
As soon as he finished, the office erupted in applause.
"Boss." Chen Lulu from the legal department clapped her hands together and looked at Jiang Chen with admiration.
"What?" Jiang Chen smiled.
"You seem to be glowing."
"…"
Su Mengqi, who was clapping on the edge, gradually stopped following the rhythm of the other employees. Looking at Jiang Chen who was surrounded by stars, her eyes flashed with a different light.
Just like a magpie who discovered a shiny jewel.
"Yo, little girl, are you thinking of love?" Her best friend beside her poked her and whispered with a smirk.
"Ying." As if she didn't hear her best friend, Su Mengqi murmured in her sleep.
Looking at her best friend's dazed expression, Li Fengying looked at her confusedly.
"What's wrong?"
"Who do you think is prettier, me or CEO Xia?" Su Mengqi pouted as she asked in a starry-eyed manner.
"Phew! What? You … "
"I've decided!" Su Mengqi suddenly clapped her hands as her eyes lit up with fighting spirit. "I changed my mind."
Future Technology had a total of 34 employees. A ten thousand RMB red packet for each person was only 340,000 RMB. Compared to the profitability of Future Technology, it was only a drop in the ocean. With the development of Future Technology, their salary would be more than ten thousand.
But what Jiang Chen didn't know was that what truly moved the employees was not the ten thousand RMB red packet, but his last sentence.
What else could make employees feel a sense of belonging to the company other than being recognized for their own value? They wrote the proposal day and night, repeatedly discussed the marketing plan, and handled the details of the software operation. Other than the salary, didn't they have any desire to prove their worth?
No one understood this better than Jiang Chen, who was once arrogantly fired. He used to be a small salesperson in a clothing store. He deeply understood the feeling of powerlessness that no matter how hard he worked for his position, he would not be valued at all.
Sometimes, people were more easily touched than one could imagine.
This phrase later became the corporate culture of Future Technology and was printed in the employee handbook to encourage new employees.
But that was a story for another time.
…
Because everyone was in a good mood, Jiang Chen immediately announced that all expenses would be covered by the company at Xingrong Hotel.
Such a generous boss was naturally supported by all the employees. Under normal circumstances, most people hated social gatherings, but when they heard that they had the opportunity to have a meal with this mysterious and legendary boss, everyone was looking forward to it.
After work in the evening, more than 30 people went to Xingrong Hotel in a mighty manner.
No wonder it was a five-star hotel. Xingrong Hotel was indeed luxurious.
Xia Shiyu already called to reserve a room, so there was no need to worry about not having a seat.
When he saw more than 30 people walk in, the hotel manager was overjoyed. He personally welcomed them into the private room and respectfully handed Jiang Chen a VIP card with a 20% discount.
At the dinner table, the atmosphere was lively.
To the frequent toasts from his subordinates, Jiang Chen generously accepted all of them. Of course, considering that he had to drive later, he only accepted and didn't drink too much. What he couldn't drink was all stored in the storage dimension.
Sitting next to him was the second in command, Xia Shiyu. Jiang Chen was surprised to find that she was quite popular in the company as a lot of people toasted to her.
Xia Shiyu didn't reject the toasts from her subordinates, but due to her alcohol tolerance, she used a small cup.
But even so, after a few cups, her face was flushed red, and she looked extremely enchanting.
The atmosphere gradually became livelier. Jiang Chen didn't put on the airs of a boss at all as he bragged to the employees about everything.
As they chatted, the topic shifted to personal issues. Everyone was naturally curious about the private life of this "internet celebrity" chairman.
"President, let me toast you. I wish you the best in your career! "Su Mengqi stood up and handed over her wine glass with a smile.
According to China's drinking culture, it was unreasonable to propose a toast before one's boss proposed a toast to the leader. Because there weren't many employees, Future Technology didn't have a dedicated human resources department. All the administrative work was handled by Xia Shiyu. Therefore, Su Mengqi's boss was Xia Shiyu.
But CEO Xia was either shy or worried. From the beginning of the dinner until now, even though she was sitting next to Jiang Chen, she didn't toast to him. Su Mengqi toasted Jiang Chen first, which was against the rules.
But there was an unspoken rule at the table – beautiful women were excluded.
"Thank you for your kind words." Jiang Chen stood up with a smile, raised his glass, and downed it.
Su Mengqi also downed the wine in her cup in one gulp, and her cheeks were flushed red. Her bright eyes turned slightly. While she was tipsy, she looked into Jiang Chen's eyes with a smile and asked.
"Chairman, may I be so bold as to ask a question?"
"Ask away, except for the password to my bank card," Jiang Chen mocked with a laugh.
"Then let me ask, does the president like someone?"
Such a bold question naturally attracted a wave of cheers, and the atmosphere at the table was instantly pushed to Jiang Chen's side. Hearing the cheers from her colleagues, Su Mengqi's cheeks, which were covered with light makeup, began to blush, but her clear eyes never left Jiang Chen's eyes.
Although a lot of people felt that CEO Xia was interested in the president, seeing that CEO Xia didn't seem to react to the question, they began to doubt their previous speculation.
She was already an adult, she shouldn't be this tolerant.
"Yes, president, you don't say when men ask you, but a beautiful woman asks you, you should at least reveal something, right?"
"That's right, our Miss Su is already hinting at you, you should at least say something, right?"
Thinking that the chairman was still single, everyone eagerly tried to matchmake him.
After all, Su Mengqi was indeed a beautiful woman, and she seemed to be interested in the president. Many times, it was like this. Even though they didn't feel anything, under the encouragement of others, they somehow felt something.
It was a big deal to help the president get out of single status. If they really succeeded, the cheers would become "assists"! Disregarding the benefits, there would definitely be a favor. Especially when they got married, with Jiang Chen's generosity, a red envelope of tens of thousands would naturally be there.
Even if it didn't work out, it didn't matter. It was just some random cheers at the table, and no one would take it to heart.
For some reason, Xia Shiyu, who was poking the fish with her chopsticks, felt inexplicably unhappy and wronged. She suddenly had the urge to stand up and do something, but she couldn't think of what to do, nor could she find a reason to stand up.
Jiang Chen forced a smile. It was a difficult question to answer.
Sun Jiao and Yaoyao … but they were from another world. Ayesha's identity and age were a bit special, and it wasn't suitable to be exposed. Liu Yao was a celebrity, and as a mistress, it was not appropriate to be exposed.
Fu * k, he suddenly realized that he had "chased" countless girls, but none of them could be taken home as a girlfriend.
"Umm, do I?" After some consideration, Jiang Chen gave a vague answer.
Su Mengqi didn't feel discouraged after hearing this answer. But just as she was about to ask, "What do you like about her?" Future 1.0's project manager, Ning Huajian, suddenly stood up and raised his glass with a smile.
"President Jiang is young and promising! I, Ning, have been in the IT industry for five years and have seen a lot of industry leaders. But to be honest, the only person that I admire from the bottom of my heart is President Jiang. I'll drink to this glass. "
Ning Huajian drained the glass and revealed the bottom of the glass to show his sincerity, causing everyone to cheer.
Jiang Chen could tell that Ning Huajian was helping him out, so he gladly raised his glass.
"You flatter me, you flatter me." After a few more polite words, Jiang Chen also drained his glass. The three sat down together.
At this time, Su Mengqi also came to her senses. She was a little too anxious just now. Fortunately, Ning Huajian stood up and helped her out. Otherwise, if she really continued to ask, she would have committed a big taboo that would embarrass her boss.
Regardless of how anxious Su Mengqi was, Xia Shiyu's heart was racing.
She suddenly remembered the scene at the press conference.
At that time, Jiang Chen seemed to say that he didn't have anyone he liked.
But now he did?
[Who is it?]
[He didn't show up at the company this month, and he didn't see me. Did he meet him when he was working overseas?]
[Eh? Why do I have to care about his private affairs?]
Just as Xia Shiyu was lost in her own thoughts, the conversation on the table shifted to another direction.
"President Xia, thank you for taking care of me. I'll drink to you."
Jiang Chen gently poked Xia Shiyu with his elbow.
"Ah! Mhmm … "As if she suddenly woke up from a dream, Xia Shiyu hurriedly stood up, smiled apologetically, and hastily raised her glass.
Jiang Chen looked at Xia Shiyu strangely. It was rare to see such a panicked expression on her face.
In this somewhat harmonious atmosphere, the dinner came to an end.
