Lin Chen continued, "As for the company's daily affairs, An Rou is in charge of them all. That means if you encounter any problems and don't know who to contact, just go to her."
An Rou stood up angrily and said, "Lin Chen, do you think I'm a donkey from the production team?"
"Ahem, Vice President An's base annual salary has been increased to 600,000."
An Rou immediately sat down, her face beaming with a bright smile, as if she hadn't just stood up.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I was just joking with Lin Chen. Let's continue the meeting, let's continue the meeting."
Lin Chen rolled his eyes at her: "Dawei is still in charge of the game department. You can come to me directly if you have any ideas or questions."
Dawei immediately raised his hand and said, "President Lin, we have already prepared the design ideas for the second game during the Chinese New Year. We are ready to start making it soon, but we may need to hire some people and buy some new equipment."
Lin Chen waved his hand and said, "When you joined the company, I told you that you only need to make games and leave the rest to me. Whether it's hiring people or buying equipment, as long as it's reasonable, just tell An Rou."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Lin."
Lin Chen raised his fist and shouted, "Tech geeks save the world!"
An Rou couldn't help but cover her eyes when she saw Lin Chen acting so childishly; she couldn't bear to look.
"Alright, everyone, let's discuss what to eat tonight."
Zhang Yiming was taken aback. He was still a little unaccustomed to Xingchen Technology's style. It had only been less than ten minutes, and Lin Chen had already rambled on and on without saying a single unnecessary word. And that was it? Was this the reason why Xingchen Technology was so successful?
Liu Xiaoxiao was the first to shout, "Hot pot! I want to eat Sichuan hot pot!"
"Hot pot +1, but I'm not very good at eating spicy food."
"Hot pot + 2..."
Lin Chen made the decision: "Okay, let's have hot pot then. Let's skip the Sichuan hot pot, we still need to consider that some people can't handle that much spice. Let's have Haidilao. Xiaoxiao, go and reserve a table. Also, let us know in the group chat that Fatty, Shenyue, and Xiaowan haven't come yet, and we don't know if the milk tea shop trio has arrived."
While sending a notification on her phone, Liu Xiaoxiao said, "I arrived a long time ago. When I came yesterday, I bought a cup of Heytea and chatted with Zhang Xiuxiu for a while. I found out that the three of them came back to work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year."
"Uh, how am I, the boss, supposed to handle this?"
After the meeting, Lin Chen walked out of the conference room and found that Manager Zhang from the property management was already waiting at the company entrance.
"Mr. Lin, here is the contract. Please take a look."
"OK."
Lin Chen glanced at the contract and, finding no problems, picked up a pen and signed it. Then he turned to An Rou and said, "An Rou, remember to tell Xiao Wan to transfer the money to the property management company when we eat later."
An Rou pouted: "Don't you go eat too?"
"I just gave you a raise, okay? Believe me or not, I'll take it all back."
"Believe it or not, I'll go back and tell Mom."
"...You win!"
That evening, at Haidilao, the fourteen people from Xingchen Technology had to push two tables together to barely sit down.
After ordering, Lin Chen stood up, cleared his throat, and just when everyone thought he was going to say something, he pulled out a handful of red envelopes from his pocket.
"A red envelope for opening the door, everyone gets one."
"Mr. Zhang, this is for you."
"Thank you, Mr. Lin."
"Anrou, this is for you."
"Thank you, boss."
...
"Zhang Xiuxiu, this is for you."
"Thank you, boss. Hmm? Why are mine thicker than theirs?"
"You're back at work so early, of course we have to give you a big red envelope!"
Zhang Xiuxiu scratched her head sheepishly: "Hehe, the owner of the milk tea shop where I used to work asked us to come back to work on the third day of the Lunar New Year. He said there would be more customers during the New Year. I stayed at home until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year and still didn't receive a notice to come back to work. I thought it was strange, so I came on the eighth day."
Liu Mei and Chen Lu were in a similar situation. When they heard Zhang Xiuxiu say this, they nodded in agreement. They almost thought the milk tea shop had gone out of business.
Lin Chen laughed and said, "The main consumers in the university town are students. Since the students haven't started school yet, there aren't many customers, so I didn't notify you."
An Rou said softly, "Lin Chen, are you sure you haven't forgotten?"
"Ahem, you were just calling me 'boss,' why are you stopping after receiving the red envelope?"
"Hehe, I won't call you that, what can you do about it?"
Lin Chen really couldn't do anything about An Rou. After taking her back for the New Year, she turned against him. With her mother backing her up, she was someone he couldn't afford to offend. So Lin Chen strategically changed the subject: "Um, Xiao Wan, I bought the 27th floor of Xingchen Technology Building. I plan to use it as the headquarters of Xiaomi Technology. Transfer the money to the property management tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll come to the company tomorrow, and I'll also keep a copy of the contract."
The next day, Lin Chen took An Rou to the airport to pick up Lei Jun.
"Brother Jun, welcome to Shanghai."
"Haha, I'm going to be based in Shanghai from now on."
"Hello, Mr. Lei. I've heard so much about you. My name is An Rou."
"Hello, Miss An. Please take care of me in the future."
"Mr. Lei, you're too kind."
"Let's go then, let's go to the company first."
Lin Chen drove Lei Jun to the Deji Building.
“Brother Jun, the 26th floor belongs to Xingchen Technology. I have already bought the 27th floor, which will be used as office space for Xiaomi Technology for the time being. 1,000 square meters is enough for now.”
"This is enough. These conditions are much better than when I first joined Kingsoft."
Lin Chen led Lei Jun on a tour of the 27th floor, then returned to his office on the 26th floor, where he took an HTC phone from a drawer.
"Brother Jun, this is the mobile operating system I developed, MIUI. Take a look, but due to the limitations of the phone's hardware, it's not very smooth."
Lei Jun excitedly took the phone and tried it out. Although the system wasn't as smooth as iOS, it had all the functions that an iPhone could perform, which meant that the system was indeed a success.
"Great, that's wonderful. I'm sure our Xiaomi phones will be even better when they come out."
"Brother Jun, take a look at this app again." Lin Chen pointed to MiXin on his phone.
Lei Jun clicked on it and saw that it was a very traditional chat software interface.
"Huh, what's this WeChat Moments post?"
"I plan to combine Weibo with QQ Space to create a social networking feature for close friends within this chat app. For example, if I want to post a photo I took on a trip, but I don't want strangers to see it on Weibo, and only my family, friends, and classmates, then I can post it on my Moments. Only my friends who have added me can see what I post, and they can also like and comment on it."
Lei Jun thought about it for a moment and realized that this was indeed a brand-new social scenario with great potential.
