It was a rare sunny day today.

"It turns out that our company is so prestigious."

Dai Zixin followed the crowd into a five-star hotel, looked at the people next to him, and said to Chen Xu next to him in surprise.

Chen Xu said, "Then you don't know how much money our company makes."

"I know the company is quite wealthy, but I didn't expect to hold an annual meeting in a five-star hotel and invite so many people." Dai Zixin sighed, "Is it true that running a supermarket is so profitable?"

"Let me tell you this, the rent for the ten stores under our company has not changed for more than ten years."

"No?"

Dai Zixin was stunned. Over the past decade or so, domestic housing prices have been rising rapidly. Even though commercial real estate prices have not risen as fast as houses, they have also grown rapidly. For example, the rents in prime locations have also increased at an alarming rate.

The rent has not increased for more than ten years. Could it be that the company is the son of the real estate company? Chen Xu smiled slightly when he saw her surprised look. When he first knew this, he was also very surprised. Until he heard one thing, he suddenly understood.

The person who founded this company is now the president of the head office.

To some extent, the company is indeed the group's own son.

The company's annual meeting is always held in a grand manner. In addition to most of the leadership of the ten stores, suppliers are also invited, a total of five to six hundred people. There are also many programs and it lasts a whole day.

Of course, the employees are also looking forward to this day because year-end bonuses will be distributed at the meeting.

To be honest, the reason why he wanted to wait until after the Chinese New Year before leaving was for the year-end bonus.

This company has some unsatisfactory aspects, but it is more humane. Last year, one of his colleagues also resigned before the Chinese New Year, and left after the Chinese New Year, but the year-end bonus was still paid.

In previous years, the year-end bonus was two months' salary, which is not a small amount of money. It would be best if you can get it.

This hotel has a large auditorium that can accommodate hundreds of people. Last year's annual meeting was also held here.

The morning is the most boring, long and tedious meeting. Almost every senior executive has to speak. In one sentence, they have to summarize the past and look forward to the future.

Many people dozed off while listening, but in such an occasion, no one dared to actually lie down and fall asleep, and they all forced themselves to stay awake and listen.

After finally making it to noon, the atmosphere finally became relaxed after the lunch started.

Everyone was looking forward to the next activity. The hall was very lively as people were eating and chatting.

The lunch lasted for a long time, more than an hour. Several senior leaders of the company brought drinks and went to each table to chat and say some encouraging words.

Chen Xu saw that they were not young anymore, and their enthusiasm for showmanship was just as good as that of young people.

The banquet was finally dismissed. After everyone had a short break, the afternoon activities began.

This is also the part that all employees look forward to the most, the distribution of year-end bonuses.

The leader was on the stage, and when his name was called, he went up to receive it. After one department was given out, the next department was given out. Everyone who received one had a smile on their face.

Chen Xu's department was arranged to wait last. After waiting for a long time, Dai Zixin next to him became a little impatient, and several other newcomers were almost the same.

After finally getting to their department, the first name called was Chen Xu's.

After everyone's year-end bonuses were distributed, we started playing games. Everyone was in high spirits and enthusiastic about participating. The host was also quite experienced, so the whole afternoon was spent in laughter and joy.

Even Chen Xu was infected. At Dai Zixin's instigation, he participated in a game and won a small prize.

Before we knew it, it was time for dinner.

The first thing that happened was the lucky draw. The prizes were very generous, with the grand prize being a seven-day, six-night luxury trip to Europe for two, which was also specially noted at the end and could be discounted to 50,000 yuan.

In addition, there are twenty of the latest fruit mobile phones, ten tablets, ten notebooks, and some other prizes.

Chen Xu did some calculations and couldn't help but sigh that the company really spent a lot of money to hold the annual meeting.

"Wow, the latest model of Apple phone. If I buy it, it will cost more than 10,000 yuan. It would be great if I could win one." Dai Zixin said excitedly.

But you have to win the lottery.

Chen Xu didn't say it, as he didn't have the heart to dash her hopes.

He didn't know about other companies, but here, the annual meeting lottery was actually a disguised form of benefits given by the management. The winners were all above the management level. The old employees of the company were all aware of this.

If he hadn't left, he could have gotten a job as a deputy director. But now, there was no chance.

So, he just concentrated on eating and didn't care who won the prize.

The company used computers for the lottery and also used a projector to project the lottery process onto the stage to show fairness.

As the prizes were drawn one by one, applause broke out from time to time. Especially when the boss of their own department won a prize, the employees were very appreciative.

Chen Xu also heard Luo Xiyun's name, and Dai Zixin and others next to him immediately applauded loudly.

After a while, Dai Zixin said nervously, "There's only one special prize left, and I wonder who will get it."

"I guess it's Mr. Wang." Chen Xu said casually.

Old Tang next to him said, "I guess so." Then they smiled at each other.

In fact, this is not difficult to guess. There are only a few vice presidents with the most weight in the company. This year you get it, next year he gets it, and the year after that it will be the turn of another. As for the CEO, he doesn't participate in this, probably because he can't afford to lose this person.

On the stage, the host's excited voice came, "Soon, it's time to give out the grand prize. Who will be the lucky winner? A seven-day, six-night luxury trip for two to Europe begins."

On the projector, a name was changing rapidly. The entire hall fell silent.

Chen Xu was still concentrating on eating. The dishes were delicious. He was usually frugal, and only in occasions like this could he eat these dishes. It would be a pity if he didn't eat more.

"The winner is..." The host stretched out his voice, accompanied by the dense drumbeats that set off the atmosphere, and his voice broke with excitement, "Chen Xu, congratulations to this friend. He won a seven-day, six-night luxury trip for two to Europe. Of course, you can also choose a discount..."

Hey, it's not Mr. Wang? That's not right. Is there a vice president in our company with the last name Chen?

Chen Xu was just wondering when Dai Zixin next to him suddenly screamed and pulled his clothes, "Chen Xu, you won the prize. The grand prize, the special prize."
