The annual meeting kicked off with all sorts of exotic delicacies served.
Each table featured fifteen dishes and two soups.
All kinds of lobster, birdâs nest, abalone, shark fin, and the like were freely available to eat.
There were also top-notch red wines, white wines, and spirits, all very expensive.
The food on each table was worth more than one hundred thousand.
Moreover, after the dishes were served, everyone first received a thick red envelope.
Someone opened it to find a thousand yuan inside, and it was the same for everyone.
What kind of fairy-like company is this?
Many viewers in the live stream room saw these meals and were incredibly jealous.
[Sob sob sob, their annual meeting has exotic delicacies and red envelopes, while my annual meeting only involves my boss drawing pie in the sky]
[Youâre quite lucky your boss even draws pie; my company made me work overtime for free on New Yearâs Day]
[Right now, my desire to go to Nuomi Group and clean toilets has peaked]
ââââââââ
The number of viewers in the live stream room had surpassed five million and was still rising.
All the viewers were shocked by the grand display of Nuomi Group and could not help but feel intense envy.
A company can make money, even if you earn a trillion in net profit in a year, it doesnât really move most people.
But if the employee benefits are good, everyone starts feeling envious and aspiring.
Jiang Xu doesnât like ostentatious displays.
Therefore, he did not give a speech at the annual meeting and let Ally host the whole event instead.
The event started off with a lottery right away.
A thousand â8888â cash red envelopes.
A thousand high-end Mei Zhu smartphones.
Two thousand laptops.
All sorts of cash prizes and gifts were handed out until hands got tired.
One hour into the annual meeting, everyone on site had received at least twenty thousand worth in prizes.
Some lucky ones even pulled in prizes and cash amounting to hundreds of thousands.
Moreover, Jiang Xu had mandated that the likelihood of executives winning be reduced.
The majority of the grand prizes went to the regular staff.
Jiang Xu had always been at the bottom in his previous life, so he could empathize deeply with the lower-level employees.
Moreover, when employee benefits are increased, they will work hard without needing upper management to push them.
Fearing that the company would collapse and such good benefits would vanish.
The number of viewers in the live stream room broke ten million.
It became slightly laggy.
Such a spectacular scene was very rare.
The comments in the live stream room were dripping with jealousy.
Whose boss would spend so much on an annual meeting?
With thousands of employees, just the bonuses and prizes combined might amount to several hundreds of millions, right?
The first half was hosted by Ally, and the second half was hosted by another senior executive from the company.
âHello, everyone, next, I will announce the top ten colleagues in this yearâs group annual bonuses.â
âRanked tenth, Ma Gebi from the Planning Department, with an after-tax bonus of sixty million!â
Thunderous applause erupted instantly in the venue.
Sixty million, after taxes!
Itâs more money than many workers could earn in ten lifetimes.
âRanked ninth, Bi Haosong from the Marketing Department, with an after-tax total of seventy-six million!â
ââââ
While the annual meeting was in full swing here, right next door, Da Bai Cross-border Group was also holding their annual meeting.
They were live streaming as well, but the online viewer count was only a few thousand.
Although it was fancy, with various female stars performing on stage and all of them dressed quite provocatively,
compared to Nuomi Group, it was far less attractive.
Because whether it was the quantity or quality of the prizes or bonuses, it simply wasnât on the same level as the Nuomi Group.
âThis is killing me!â
A gaudily dressed woman, wearing heavy makeup and stunning attire, looked at the data in the live stream, visibly infuriated.
She was the wife of the president of this company, and if Jiang Xu were here, he would have recognized her as Liu Qiangâs wife.@@novelbin@@
The bonuses and prizes at this yearâs event had all been arranged by her.
If it were any other time, it would have been considered quite generous.
But compared to the Nuomi Group next door, it was simply not presentable.
This time, she had purposefully chosen to hold the annual event at the same time and place as the Nuomi Group.
Her primary intent was to crush the Nuomi Group completely.
But now, it seemed she had completely failed.
This made her extremely angry.
She was speechless over the frivolous spending of the Nuomi Group.
âSimply brainless. Theyâre just a bunch of cow and horse employees, yet they receive so many bonuses and gifts. Itâs utterly foolish!â
She was not willing to be defeated by the Nuomi Group just like that.
In frustration, she ordered the performers on stage to strip off their clothesâ¦
The popularity indeed soared quickly, but within two minutes the live stream was shut down.
ââââââ
âFor the third place in year-end awards, Vice President Ms. Avi, after-tax 260 million!â
Avi was still overseas and wouldnât be able to return this year.
Nonetheless, she received a tremendously warm round of applause on site.
âFor the second place in year-end awards, Vice President Ms. Ally, after-tax 380 million!â
The crowd was astounded.
Everyone turned their eyes to Ally, filled with envy.
The bonuses for the companyâs two vice presidents were incredibly high.
âFor the first place in the year-end awards, our chief anchor Ms. Chu Youwei, after-tax 500 million!â
Pair after pair of envious eyes fell on Chu Youwei.
She was a bit flustered, her cheeks flushing faintly.
Hurriedly, she stood to bow, then sat down, her head bowed.
With so many people looking at her, she felt somewhat embarrassed.
âIsnât this a bit too high-profile?â Zhou Qingyue whispered to Jiang Xu, âThe year-end awards are tens of millions, billions.â
The nail that sticks out gets hammered down is an age-old truth.
âYou worry too much,â Jiang Xu laughed, âThe money the company makes is all legitimate, and every penny is taxed.â
âMoreover, by distributing some of the profits to the employees, they will go out and spend, which can promote the development of various industries. Itâs a good thing.â
Those companies that evade taxes are the ones that should worry about this.
Jiang Xu, a steadfast taxpayer, really had nothing to fear about attracting attention.
This opportunity could also better inform the general public about how excellent the welfare benefits are at the Nuomi Group.
It could attract more talents to join, creating a virtuous cycle.
Zhou Qingyue nodded, saying no more.
Zhou Mengmengâs fondness for Jiang Xu spiked once again.
Such a practice required a high level of sophistication, something most companies wouldnât bear to give their employees so much money.
This would make the companyâs cohesion remarkably strong, and the energy that could be released was also immense.
Damn!
Zhou Mengmengâs hands, placed under the table, clenched tightly.
Suddenly, she felt an extremely strong desire towards Jiang Xuâwhat should she do?
She wanted to bite him hard⦠to leave her marks all over him, to make him scream, to make him beg for mercyâ¦
As her thoughts wandered, Zhou Mengmeng discovered that she had actuallyâ¦
Oh, how embarrassing!
âMengmeng, whatâs wrong?â Beside her, Zhou Qingyue noticed Zhou Mengmengâs unusual behavior and asked.
