"Is everyone here? If everyone is here, let's start the meeting."

As all the senior executives arrived one after another.

Wearing a dark shirt, Zhao Fangdong, president of Xindong Group, strode into the conference room with an air of authority and spoke succinctly in a northern Jiangsu accent.

"I think everyone understands the theme of today's meeting, which is how to promote the policy of paying social security for our delivery workers as soon as possible."

"It's not just about efficiency, but also about precision, so that every dedicated deliveryman at Xindong can enjoy this benefit!"

"Everyone is welcome to freely express any suggestions or good ideas they may have in this meeting room."...

After sitting down in his seat, Zhao Fangdong spoke quickly.

"Mr. Zhao, may I ask you a question first?"

Liao Hongwen, the senior executive in charge of human resources, then raised his hand to ask a question.

"Okay, go ahead."

Zhao Fangdong leaned back in his chair and stared at the other person as he responded.

"I remember after the last meeting, Mr. Zhao, you had already given up on this somewhat... revolutionary idea. Why did you suddenly bring up this policy again this time?"

"Are there any sudden external factors? Such as new investment or policy changes from above?"

HR executive Liao Hongwen immediately voiced his question.

This was also the confusion in the minds of almost all the executives present.

Increase the welfare and income of delivery workers while maintaining the same level of profitability within the group.

That naturally means that if these executives cannot produce better sales results or secure financing, their own benefits will be greatly affected.

Therefore, the senior executives of New Oriental subconsciously rejected President Zhao Fangdong's idea.

"Okay, I think this is a very representative question."

"So today I'll speak frankly with you all about why Xindong Group is willing to spend an extra billion or so every year to ensure that all our delivery drivers have the five social insurances and one housing fund."

"This is due to factors related to the group's development, as well as some personal reasons."

As he spoke, Zhao Fangdong straightened his posture and his expression immediately became serious.

"First of all, we need to understand that if a company can't even establish a solid foundation among its own employees, how can it talk about building a century-old enterprise?"

"Some people say that it is normal for the internet industry to outsource labor, and that delivery riders are not their own employees."

"To be honest, I get a little annoyed every time I hear that!"

"When I opened my shop in the electronics village twenty years ago, I told the brothers who helped me manage the shop, 'If you call me Brother Dong, then I have to be responsible for you.'"

"Now that the company has grown bigger, this principle must not change—in my eyes, everyone who has worked hard and sweated within the New East system is one of our own brothers!"

"I remember it very clearly. One year, a brother of mine injured his leg while delivering orders. The company not only reimbursed his medical expenses in full, but also continued to pay his basic salary during his recovery period."

"Later, he came to headquarters on crutches to thank me. I said, 'What are you thanking me for? This is a responsibility that the company should bear!'"

"If we hadn't paid his work injury insurance back then, who would support his family now? How can a company sleep soundly at night if it's trying to save money like this?"

"Of course, doing these things doesn't mean I'm a saint who's solely devoted to good deeds."
