The sky was getting dark.
Far away Building was ablaze with lights that night.
The annual meeting was held in the auditorium of Far away Building. The second floor, which was not opened last time, was opened this time because there were many people and leaders.
Although it was not time yet, the auditorium was already full of people.
It was the first time for many employees to come to Far away Headquarters. It was the first time they met so many colleagues. They were so excited that they forgot themselves.
They chatted and discussed with each other. The noise spread far and wide.
Compared to the first floor, although there were many people on the second floor, it was much quieter.
Even if there were people talking, they were whispering in twos and threes. No one broke out into loud noises.
When Li Dong, who was dressed in a suit, walked in from the outside in high spirits, the huge auditorium suddenly quieted down.
The people upstairs could not help but look at him.
Just a moment ago, they had thought that the employees of Distance Entertainment were a little too scattered, but who knew that Li Dong had such a great influence in Distance Entertainment. As soon as he arrived, all the employees stopped talking in unison.
After a pause of about one or two seconds, there was a sudden chorus of greetings.
"Hello, General Manager Li!"
Li Dong was full of smiles. He cupped his hands at the crowd and said, "Hello everyone, sit down and talk! Tonight there is no General Manager Li, only Li Dong. Everyone let loose, talk, laugh! "
When Li Dong's voice fell, there was a deafening burst of laughter.
Accompanied by laughter, Li Dong walked to the second floor.
When the people upstairs saw him coming up, those with lower positions got up to greet him. Those with higher positions didn't put on airs. Although they didn't get up, most of them nodded and smiled.
Li Dong saw a lot of acquaintances, but it was not a suitable night to chat.
After a few simple greetings, Li Dong went downstairs.
Today, these people were guests, and he was the host. Naturally, he had to be with the staff of Far away Building.
When Li Dong and the other executives of Far away Building took their seats on the first floor, the annual meeting began.
The lights on the stage dimmed. When the lights lit up again, there was a stranger on the stage.
Of course, they could not be considered strangers. It was just that relatively speaking, many of the employees, including some of the management, were unfamiliar to them.
Yuan Chengdao stood on the stage and looked around. He suddenly had a strange feeling.
Is this the Faraway Group?
From today onwards, all the people in front of him would be under his control. They would all have to rely on him to make a living.
Suddenly, an unprecedented excitement surged in his heart.
…
While Yuan Chengdao was getting excited, many people had strange expressions on their faces.
The opening speech of the annual meeting was usually either by the host or by an important member of the group.
Far away's senior management only knew Sun Tao, Wang Yue, Shen Qian, and Qin Hai. Last year, during the annual meeting Far away, Sun Tao was the host.
Sun Tao was the general manager of Far away last year. After the annual meeting, he became the biggest winner and became a billionaire.
In this year's annual meeting, the host had changed. Many people didn't know Yuan Chengdao, who was standing in front of them.
Of course, it wasn't that everyone didn't know him.
Sun Tao and the others looked at Yuan Chengdao on the stage with a strange look in their eyes.
Tonight, Yuan Chengdao hosted the annual meeting, and many things could be seen.
Sun Tao, who hosted the annual meeting last year, became a winner in life. This year, Yuan Chengdao was no exception.
Regardless of what everyone thought, Yuan Chengdao had already begun his opening remarks.
Compared to Sun Tao, Yuan Chengdao was two years younger. Sun Tao was actually not that old, but Sun Tao was a very calm person. When he spoke, he was calm, and it was not easy to resonate with others.
But Yuan Chengdao was different. Although he usually looked calm, he was different.
But when he was on the stage, Yuan Chengdao was full of passion.
Holding the microphone, Yuan Chengdao was so excited that he danced and said, "My colleagues, my guests who have come from afar! Do you know? In 2006, Faraway Group created a miracle that belongs to us, a miracle that belongs to Jiangbei, and even the whole country! "
"This year, we fought together, cut through all obstacles, and looked down on everyone!"
"This year, Far away's scale expanded tenfold, and its market value increased twentyfold!"
"… This year, we've let everyone know — the Faraway Lands!"
"All of this is inseparable from the leadership of Chairman Li Dong. It is inseparable from the efforts of senior executives like CEO Sun, CEO Shen, and CEO Wang. In order to express our respect, everyone, let's applaud!"
"Clap clap clap!"
A deafening applause sounded. Li Dong and the others got up and bowed to the people behind them.
The applause lasted for a long time. On the stage, Yuan Chengdao was still adding to the atmosphere. He continued to shout, "Similarly, the group can achieve such glory without the efforts of all of us! It is us, the employees at the grassroots level, who made the skyscraper Far Away stronger. It is us who laid the foundation for Far Away! Colleagues, where is the applause? Let's cheer for ourselves! "
"Clap clap clap!"
The applause became louder. Shen Qian, Sun Tao, and others in the front row secretly glanced at Li Dong.
In a few simple words, Yuan Chengdao revealed his direction after entering Far Away.
The leader was auxiliary, and the employees were the main focus!
In some groups, this was indeed the case. But Far Away, Far Away, where one person was in sole control, Yuan Chengdao was rebelling!
The ordinary employees were confused and only cared about cheering.
However, those who were knowledgeable had a strange expression on their faces.
Apart from them, many people on the second floor had a look of interest in their eyes. They all looked at Yuan Chengdao and Li Dong, who was sitting motionlessly on the stage.
Interesting!
The annual meeting had just begun, and they felt that it was not a wasted trip.
The senior management of Far Away who was speaking obviously held an important position in Far Away. But today, they felt that Far Away was different.
A Far Away that was different from the Far Away that Li Dong was in charge of.
They did not know whether this change was good or bad, but Yuan Chengdao gave them a feeling that Far Away was tolerant and could cooperate and support each other.
But the Far Away that Li Dong was in charge of was like a fierce tiger entering the mountain. If not me, then who else could take over!
The impression that Li Dong gave others was that he was a loner, whether it was himself or Far Away itself.
It was unknown whether this loner helped Li Dong or harmed Li Dong.
In Jiangbei, Li Dong had very few companions because everyone was a little afraid of him.
He gave others the impression that those who obeyed him would prosper, and those who opposed him would perish. There was no middle ground, only Far Away and his opponents.
But now, Yuan Chengdao had opened a gap for everyone. That was, Far Away was actually a member of the big family. Everyone could sit down and have a good discussion. They could have a good talk. There was no need to make their relationship so stiff.
They did not know whether this feeling was an illusion or Yuan Chengdao wanted to reveal it.
Anyway, many people felt it, including some of the senior management of Far Away.
Shen Qian had a face full of anger at this moment. She glared fiercely at Yuan Chengdao on the stage!
The opening speech should not have been like this!
Yuan Chengdao had tampered with the previous speech!
Just as she was about to explode in anger, Li Dong gently held her hand and said with a faint smile, "Continue listening."
"But!"
"Listen on, this may be an opportunity."
Although Li Dong did not say too much, Shen Qian still understood what he meant.
Perhaps Li Dong himself was also at a loss and full of uncertainty about the future. He wanted to use Yuan Chengdao to cover up the edge of Far Away.
Shen Qian calmed down a little and didn't say anything else.
On the stage, Yuan Chengdao did not continue to promote his ideas of governance. He simply reported the results of Far Away, bowed and left the stage.
The applause lasted for a long time.
Although the ordinary staff did not know who the person in front of them was, because Yuan Chengdao did not introduce himself, what he needed was not his current identity.
But even if they did not know who he was, everyone knew that he was a senior executive of Far Away.
This was the first senior executive who gave them an incomparable sense of intimacy, even stronger than Li Dong.
To put it simply, they felt that Yuan Chengdao was very down-to-earth.
In fact, to be honest, this feeling must be their illusion.
Because Li Dong was really from a grassroots background, and Yuan Chengdao was from a wealthy family, highly educated, and cultured. They were the two types of people who were more estranged.
However, it was Yuan Chengdao who gave everyone this illusion. From this, it could be seen that Yuan Chengdao's ability was indeed not weak.
After Yuan Chengdao left the stage, the next person to go on stage was the host for tonight's annual meeting.
The two hosts were not employees of Far Away, but two hosts invited from the TV station. They had a strong ability to enhance the atmosphere and liven up the scene.
In just a few words, the auditorium was filled with cheers and laughter.
The staff were very happy, and the middle-level managers were also very happy.
The senior executives and the guests on the second floor also looked very happy, but if you looked closely, you would find that these people's smiles were perfunctory.
Tonight, everyone's goal was not to watch the performance, nor to watch the host amuse them.
They wanted to know what Li Dong would announce and what kind of impact it would have on everyone.
And Li Dong, who was the focus of everyone's attention, did not seem to notice this at all. When the staff laughed, he laughed. When the staff were happy, he laughed.
From time to time, he exchanged opinions with the senior executives around him. The most discussed topics were which program was good and which joke was funny.
When the people from Dong Yu Real Estate went on stage to perform, Li Dong smiled at Wu Shengnan and said, "You have good taste. The next time the administrative department recruits people, you should be the one to interview!"
Everyone laughed, and even the director of the administrative department was full of smiles.
Li Dong praised Wu Shengnan for having good taste. Naturally, it was not because of how capable she was, but because the people from Dong Yu Real Estate who performed on stage were all considered beauties.
The headquarters of a real estate company might need people who were capable, but the people in the real estate sales department were generally based on appearance.
Otherwise, if the people in the real estate sales department were ugly, it would be a blow to people's desire to buy a house.
Seeing everyone laughing happily, Wu Shengnan also joked, "If I knew this would happen, I would have asked Xiao Meng to go on stage with me."
The crowd burst into laughter again. Many people knew who Little Meng was.
He was General Manager Li's classmate and the only man in the real estate sales department. Xiao Meng was quite a cheerful person, and many people liked his character.
But he did not want to go on stage to perform with a group of beauties.
After everyone laughed for a while, Li Dong brought a few senior executives upstairs to entertain the other guests.
When he walked to Zhang Lanyu's table, Zhang Lanyu looked at him and said softly, "You have changed a lot."
Li Dong shook his head slightly and said, "It's not that I have changed. It's the environment that has changed."
"Is that the group's president that you are looking for?"
"Yes."
"Be careful. This kind of person could be the next Zhao Kuo."
"Maybe, but I actually like Zhao Kuo more now."
Zhang Lanyu seemed to understand what he meant. What Li Dong needed was not a practical person. Maybe what he needed was a group leader who could plan the Faraway Group as a whole.
Zhao Kuo may not be good at fighting, but he was good at strategy and strategy. He was definitely first-class.
Such a person was generally suitable to be a military adviser. Zhao Kuo just went the wrong way.
And what Li Dong needed now was people like Yuan Chengdao. No matter how good his actual combat ability was, as long as Yuan Chengdao could take the company in the right direction and prepare things such as human resources, logistics, and corporate culture, he had already met Li Dong's expectations.
Hearing Li Dong say this, Zhang Lanyu did not speak again.
Li Dong also did not say much to her. When he went downstairs again, the host on the stage was shouting excitedly, "The annual meeting is coming to an end. Can you let Director Li come on stage to say a few words?"
"Okay!"
"General Manager Li, come on stage!"
"General Manager Li, sing a song!"
"…"
After laughing for the whole night, everyone had let go of themselves.
Many employees cheered for Li Dong to perform on stage. Li Dong sang at last year's annual meeting. Li Dong also sang on stage when Jiangzhou University's students came for their internship.
Many old employees had experienced this, and naturally, they were showing off just now.
The employees who came to the headquarters for the first time naturally followed suit when they saw someone taking the lead.
Even the guests on the second floor who had come to watch the ceremony laughed and joined in the commotion. Li Dong usually did not have much interaction with them.
Some of them often went out to sing together to relax. But in Jiangbei, except for Hsu Shengzhe and a few others who drank tea and coffee with Li Dong, it was rare to see Li Dong in his spare time.
As for Li Dong singing with them, it was almost unheard of.
Listening to the cheers, Li Dong took the microphone from the person next to him and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's just singing. I'm good at it. Later, you can choose whatever you want to listen to. I have to sing until you vomit. But before I sing, I have something to announce. After the announcement, if you are still in the mood to listen to the song, then it's my loss. "
Li Dong's joking words made everyone burst into laughter.
They laughed heartily, but some people looked at each other.
Was this guy joking or serious?
Not in the mood to listen to the song?
Was this guy really going to announce something big?
Even people like Shen Qian and Liu Qi, who knew about it, did not understand. It was just a charity fund. At most, the CEO had been selected. Why was he not in the mood to listen to the song?
Although they wanted to ask a few questions, Li Dong had already walked to the stage, so they did not have the chance to ask.
The laughter gradually died down as Li Dong went on stage.
When Li Dong picked up the microphone, the auditorium of thousands of people suddenly became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Chengdao sighed softly. This was Li Dong.
