Chapter 162: Company Gathering

Translator: _Min_Editor: Lis_

When Jiang Chen announced a bonus of ten thousand for everyone, the employees all began to cheer in joy.

Xia Shiyu who stood beside him rubbed her face. She whispered, ”Didn't you say a bonus only to the New Era project members? How did it become everyone?”

Hearing that, Jiang Chen paused before immediately laughing it away. ”That's fine! Everyone contributed, so everyone should be rewarded. There are a lot of employees in Future Technology, but no one is an extra!”

”Boss.” Chen Lulu in the legal department put her palms together as if she was praying to Jiang Chen.

”What?” Jiang Chen smiled.

”You look like you're glowing.”

At the edge of the circle, Su Mengqi stopped clapping along with her colleagues.

As she watched Jiang Chen, who was surrounded, there was a different light flashing in her eyes, like a magpie that had just discovered shining jewelry.

”Girl, are you thinking about someone?” her friend said with a smirk. She stood beside Su Mengqi and poked her friend in the arm.

”Fengying,” Su Mengqi murmured, as if she hadn't heard her friend's words.

Seeing the lost face on her friend's face, Li Fengying looked at her confusedly.

”What?”

”Who do you think is prettier? Me and CEO Xia?” Su Mengqi said with a pout, her eyes drawn to the person in the center.

”Psh! Wait? You....”

”I have decided!” She suddenly clapped her hands, a fighting light burning in her eyes. ”I've changed my mind.”

Future Technology had a total of 34 employees. With a bonus of ten thousand per person, that came out to only 340 thousand—this was a drop of water in the vast sea of Future Technology's future profits. Following the growth of the company, their monthly salary would eventually be far greater than that number.

But what Jiang Chen didn't know was that the employees were touched not by the ten thousand bonus but rather by what he said at the end.

”There are a lot of employees in Future Technology, but no one is an extra!”

Nothing else instilled such a sense of belonging as having one's own value recognized. They spent days and nights drafting plans, discussing marketing strategy, and handling the details of the operation—other than working for the salary, did they not want to be recognized for their values?

No one felt this as strongly as Jiang Chen did ever since he was fired at will. He was a small employee working in the sales department of a clothing store. He knew in his heart the powerless feeling that no matter how hard he worked, he would never receive any recognition.

Sometimes, people were more easily touched than expected.

These words were later printed in Future Technology's employee manual as the company's culture used to encourage new employees.

But this is an afterthought.

...

With everyone's moods at an all-time high, Jiang Chen immediately announced a gathering at Xinrong Restaurant, with all expenses paid for by the company.

A boss this generous naturally received the praise of the employees. Most people disliked business gatherings, but upon hearing that they would have the opportunity to have a meal with the mysterious but legendary boss, they began to look forward to it.

After getting off from work, the group of thirty plus people arrived at Xinrong Restaurant.

Befitting its five-star reputation, Xinrong Restaurant was magnificently built.

Xia Shiyu had already reserved a room, so when the restaurant manager saw the crowd of thirty people, he put on his brightest smile and personally ushered them to the private room. He also courteously gave Jiang Chen a VIP card that gave 20% off the tab.

The dinner table was a bustling scene.

Jiang Chen happily accepted his employees' toasts, but considering that he had to drive, he took care not to drink too much and placed the remainder in the storage dimension.

Sitting beside him was the second-in-command, Xia Shiyu. Jiang Chen was surprised to find that she was quite popular in the company as she received many proposed toasts as well.

Xia Shiyu accepted them all without refusing a single one, but because of her tolerance, she used a small cup. Regardless, her face turned red after a few shots, which couldn't look more attractive on her.

The mood became heightened as Jiang Chen didn't act like a boss at all, boasting instead with the employees about anything and everything.

The topic soon turned to personal questions about the ”internet famous” president's personal life. Everyone was quite curious.

”President, let me propose a toast. I wish for your greater success!” At this time, Su Mengqi stood and raised her cup with a smile.
