On the 4th, Lin Chen took the final exam. Although he hadn't attended many classes, his programming skills were already on par with those of the teachers who did. In fact, his understanding of many new technologies was even deeper than that of university professors. So he wasn't worried about the exam at all.
There are two more exams tomorrow, the 5th. After they finish in the morning, we can have a holiday in the afternoon. Zhao Yu and Zhang Dacheng have already bought their train tickets back home.
"Lin Chen, when did you buy your ticket?"
"Should I drive back?"
"Driving? You have a car now?"
"Yes, we bought it a long time ago, didn't you know?"
"You scoundrel, don't you know how many days you've actually stayed in your dorm? I'd believe you if you said you were buying a house, but I really didn't expect you to buy a car."
"Hey, how did you know I bought a house? I bought a house too, right across from Victoria Square."
Zhao Yu felt as if he had been hit with 10,000 points of critical damage.
Zhang Dacheng patted Zhao Yu on the shoulder: "Think positively, Zhao Yu. Think about it, at least Lin Chen is still single."
Zhao Yu got even angrier when this was mentioned: "He has so many girls around him, from cute little girls to adorable junior girls to sexy goddesses. Which single guy is like him?"
Hearing this, Zhang Dacheng gritted his teeth and said, "You scoundrel!"
Seeing that things were not going well, Lin Chen quickly slipped away.
When I arrived at the company building, I found Xiaoxiao directing the workers to unload the goods.
"Driver, please take it to the 26th floor and leave it by the door. Thank you."
"Little one, what are these?"
"Boss, these are the New Year's goods that Anrou purchased."
What did you buy?
"There's rice, cooking oil, cherries, apples, nut gift boxes, milk, and cured meat. Anrou bought so much! I feel like I won't need to buy much for the New Year when I get back."
After arriving upstairs, Lin Chen went to An Rou's office.
"Senior, the New Year's gifts are too few."
"This is still too little, boss. I asked several of my classmates who are interning at big companies, and they paid according to the standard for their company's full-time employees."
“Hey, those big factories have a lot of people, while we only have a few. Our per capita output is much higher than theirs, so we should give them more. It’s too late to go and buy more now. How about this, give everyone a supermarket shopping card worth 10,000 yuan, and let them buy whatever they want.”
"Okay, I'll go to the supermarket to buy it now."
That evening, everyone from Xingchen Technology arrived at the Marriott Hotel near the company.
"Hello, sir, how many are in your party?"
“We booked a private room at Xingchen Technology.”
"Okay, please follow me."
Xingchen Technology currently has 14 people. An Rou booked a super large table, and after everyone was seated, the dishes began to be served.
The first dish was sea cucumber soup, followed by king crab, Australian lobster, and abalone, all of which were served to everyone.
Halfway through the meal, Lin Chen stood up, raised his glass, and said, "Everyone, thank you for joining the Xingchen Technology family. Although our company is a newly established startup founded by college students, only half a year old, it has developed quite well. This is inseparable from everyone's hard work and dedication. I hope everyone will continue to work hard next year to make Xingchen Technology bigger and stronger! Okay, enough of the nonsense. It's just an annual meeting, isn't it? Eating, drinking, and giving out bonuses. Who wants to listen to the leader talking nonsense? You all agree, right?"
"Hahaha..." A burst of laughter erupted from the crowd.
"After you finish eating, don't rush off. Come here to collect your New Year's gifts and year-end bonuses before you leave. But the year-end bonuses won't be in cash; there will be a red paper in the envelope showing the amount of your year-end bonus. It will be given to you along with your salary. Come on, let's all have a toast and wish you all a Happy New Year in advance."
"Thank you, boss!"
"Happy New Year!"
Just as An Rou was about to drink, Lin Chen, quick as a flash, finished his own glass and then snatched An Rou's glass and downed it in one gulp as well.
"Boss, that's my wine."
"You shouldn't drink anymore. Don't you know your own alcohol tolerance? Let's replace the alcohol with tea."
"snort!"
Seeing Lin Chen's attitude towards An Rou, Zhang Yiming also realized An Rou's status as the vice president in the company.
The fat man asked, "Brother Chen, what time are we leaving tomorrow?"
"We have two exams this morning, and we can leave after that. What about you guys, Xiao Wan?"
"We are the same."
"Let's go after lunch."
"Okay, I'll meet you at Jiaotong University after I finish lunch."
At the end of the annual meeting, everyone took a group photo, marking the conclusion of Xingchen Technology's first annual meeting.
Dawei and his two friends took a taxi, their trunk crammed full of New Year's goods, and returned to their dorm together. On the way, Cai Haoyu asked, "How much do you think the boss will give us as a year-end bonus?"
"The boss is so generous, it must be quite a lot. I estimate it's at least 50,000."
"That much? We've only been working for half a year, and my classmate's company only pays interns 3,000 yuan."
“3,000 is pretty good. Old Wang in the dorm next door did an internship for half a year and didn’t get a single penny paid. He even had to pay for his boss’s coffee every day. He doesn’t even dare to dream of a year-end bonus.”
"Why say so much? Just open it and take a look."
Dawei, Cai Haoyu, and Luo Yuhao opened the red envelopes and gasped in shock!
The taxi driver glanced at the three men's expressions in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but joke, "Young man, what's wrong? Did you get too much of a year-end bonus and get scared?"
Brother Dawei swallowed hard: "Master, you were right."
The three of them glanced at the numbers in the other two's hands and realized that they both read "1 million"!
In addition to the slip of paper with the year-end bonus amount written on it, there was also a shopping card in the red envelope. It was from a large supermarket near the company, where everyone usually goes to buy things. The amount written on the shopping card was 10,000 yuan.
Cai Haoyu muttered, "I feel like the boss has bought out all my Coke for next year."
Meanwhile, Zhang Xiuxiu and the other two also took a taxi back to their rented apartment. They had no choice; they had just too many New Year's goods to carry without a taxi. On the way, Liu Mei quietly asked, "How much do you think the boss will give us as a year-end bonus? My previous boss at the milk tea shop never gave us a year-end bonus. This is the first time I've ever received one."
Chen Lu guessed, "It shouldn't be much, I'd guess three or four thousand would be good, our store has only been open for a short time."
Zhang Xiuxiu actually thought the same thing, but as the store manager, she certainly wouldn't say the boss was stingy behind his back. So she said, "The boss is generous with the year-end bonus. No other milk tea shop gives out so many New Year's gifts. Besides, I've never had this meal at the company's annual party tonight before."
Liu Mei and Chen Lu nodded: "Indeed, it's so delicious. Our boss is very generous."
