As the year draws to a close, departmental and group-wide New Year's Eve dinners are coming up one after another.
Many of the executives who received awards posted photos of their prizes on social media and expressed their gratitude to the group and its leaders.
After buying a new car, Li Wanyue posted about it on her WeChat Moments.
In the wives' circle, Li Wanyue is the envy of everyone.
When choosing a car, not only does her husband accompany her, but her daughter and son-in-law do too. No one can match this kind of entourage!
What's even more incomparable is that their new car was a reward, worth over two million!
He was also the son-in-law of the CEO of a large conglomerate, and he paid the full amount without batting an eye.
Even the usually high-profile Mrs. Jiang became much more low-key in front of Li Wanyue.
Moreover, Li Wanyue has a daughter who designs fashion, so her bags are always the latest styles, not to mention her shoes, and her jewelry is also very presentable.
On the contrary, nowadays, more and more people are trying to climb the social ladder and curry favor with the powerful, but Li Wanyue simply doesn't want to pay attention to them.
She had long seen through that vain social circle.
...
Being of similar age, Li Wanyue and Jiang Yan got along well.
When they have free time, they also get together to go shopping, have afternoon tea, and enjoy delicious food.
I'm living a pretty carefree and comfortable life!
Jiang Yan is much more cheerful than before.
She doesn't need crutches anymore, but she walks a little slowly.
...
The executives at Dongyang Group were riding high, beaming with joy.
Although the executives at Rong's Group had no objections, they were privately sighing with regret.
It can't compare to Dongyang Group!
Their benefits are so enviable!
It is said that even just the department's New Year's Eve dinner was held in a very grand manner.
This year, they have many lucky draws, and everyone gets a prize.
...
Rong's Group, Chairman's Office.
The administrative manager, public relations manager, financial director, and Rong Zhan are meeting with the chairman.
Rong Sheng was aware of the group's situation, and of course he wanted to save face.
He knows all about how successful Dongyang Group has been lately, even trending on social media.
At Rong's Group, the emotions of some employees must have been affected as well.
Rong Sheng: "The group's annual meeting will definitely be held. Issue a notice that there will be plenty of New Year's Eve dinners for each department, and there will be a lucky draw. As for the benefits for senior executives, an overseas trip is a must. We won't be high-profile; we'll just distribute bonuses based on performance. The expenses... will be allocated from the chairman's office."
Funds were allocated from the chairman's office?
In other words, the chairman paid for all these benefits out of his own pocket?
Listening and thinking, Rong Zhan felt a little annoyed.
Although last year's full-year performance only declined by 3%, those shareholders had a lot of complaints. They were even unwilling to pay for employee benefits, which was really excessive.
Rong Sheng knew his son had something to say, so he gave him a look, signaling him to keep quiet and not show it in front of outsiders.
Rong Zhan knew he wouldn't speak carelessly.
Even if they have opinions, they keep them to themselves.
...
After hearing the chairman's instructions, the year-end bonus and other benefits were finally settled, and the administrative manager, public relations manager, and financial director finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Recently, many colleagues have been asking them for information.
Many people are worried about not receiving bonuses and benefits.
It's inferior to Dongyang Group, but at least I got a bonus, which is some consolation.
This way, they can report back to all the staff.
...
The other executives left, but Rong Zhan remained in the chairman's office.
Rong Sheng looked at his son and said a few words to him.
"Although our performance has declined this year, we haven't lost money, just made less. Over the years, the Rong family has made a lot of money, and the people below us have worked hard and made contributions. We can earn less and take less money, but we must keep the people below us who have put in the effort. We have to pay what needs to be paid; we can't save money."
"With so many people in the entire group, you've spent a considerable amount of your own money. Every year, the Rong Group also sets aside money for charity. What have those shareholders done?"
“Sometimes, you can’t be too concerned about gains and losses. If you want to win people’s hearts, you have to be generous. Look at Dongyang Group, this year, everyone’s hearts are with them.”
Rong Zhan sneered: "No matter how you look at it, he's a nouveau riche!"
"It cannot be denied that Jiang Chi is indeed wealthy. His reforms have been successful. His Dongyang Group not only has the liquor industry to support it, but has also entered the luxury goods market, and its market share is getting higher and higher every year. We can learn from his successes."
"I understand. I won't make fun of people when we're out there."
"Jiang Chi's impressive performance this year is thanks to his keen eye. With the addition of the Qiao Group and the Ye Group, Dongyang Group has grown rapidly and has a bright future. His granddaughter-in-law is indeed remarkable, adding icing on the cake for his grandson."
Rong Zhan remained silent.
He made a mistake.
Rong Sheng paused for a moment, then comforted his son, "Don't be discouraged, we still have a chance. This year has just begun, hasn't it?"
Rong Zhan nodded, but still did not express his opinion.
Rong Sheng continued, "You're on vacation now. Go abroad and relax. Forget about all the unpleasant things that happened last year."
Rong Zhan: "Okay!"
Rong Sheng: "Let's go back to the office. We need to have faith in Mark."
Nodding, Rong Zhan got up and left the chairman's office.
He was indeed in a bad mood.
He doesn't care how much the year-end bonus is; he's just annoyed by the aggressive behavior of the shareholders.
******
On the evening of February 1st, Dongyang Group held its annual meeting at the Haicheng International Expo Center.
Not only were there several celebrity endorsers, but even a well-known host from Haicheng attended the annual meeting.
This star-studded event also became a trending topic, sparking heated discussions and envy from all walks of life.
Rong Yan saw the news and she was very disdainful.
Go ahead and show off, you'll die quickly.
The more arrogant you are, the harder you'll fall from grace, and the more painful it will be!
Once she wins the designer competition, she'll prove these people wrong!
...
Darcy became the best-selling fragrance of the year!
She has also graced the covers of several fashion magazines.
To this day, however, no one has ever seen the top perfumer Justine.
Jiang Tuo thought he would see Justine at the annual meeting, but he didn't expect that she still didn't show up.
Privately, Jiang Tuo asked Jiang Zhi.
"Brother, is there really such a person as Justin? Actually, I really admire him and would like to meet him. I wonder if there's any chance you could help me introduce him?"
Before Jiang Zhi could express his opinion, Qiao Chu smiled.
Almost four months pregnant, Qiao Chu's belly was already slightly protruding.
Although her face didn't look different, her waistline seemed to have become much rounder.
Recently, her appetite has improved a lot, and she can eat quite a lot now.
I stopped taking folic acid and started taking calcium supplements.
Jiang Zhi smiled, his hand gently resting on Qiao Chu's lower abdomen, feeling their two little babies.
"Are you free tomorrow? Come to Haitao Residence."
Jiang Tuo nodded.
He was so happy to see his idol, his face beaming with joy.
"Thank you, brother! I'll definitely be there tomorrow!"
