Chapter 64 World 2 [34]
French poetry is very helpful for sleeping. As Shao Qing listened, he began to relax his mind and slowly fell asleep after twenty minutes.
After hearing the breathing of the person next to him become steady, Jing Ke finished reading the rest of the text, pulled up the quilt, lay flat on his back and began to fall asleep.
Jing Ke doesn't like to move around when he sleeps, at most he just turns over.
However, it was different for Shao Qing, who had been sleeping alone since she was very young. After entering a deep sleep, her reactions were controlled by her body's instincts.
In the cold winter, staying close to a heat source was instinctive. Shao Qing didn't hug Jing Ke like an octopus, but the thirty centimeters of distance between them had been eliminated less than an hour after she fell asleep.
Shao Qing didn't hug Jing Ke, but she pressed her whole body against her. Most of her breath fell on Jing Ke's ears, making her unable to help but open her eyes in the middle of the night.
Jing Ke thought about a lot and remembered a lot, but in the end he did nothing.
After silently pulling up the quilt, he closed his eyes again and spent a not-so-restful night.
-
As the big boss of Xinsheng Entertainment, Jing Ke naturally had to attend the company's first annual meeting.
Because Director Li has publicly cast members within Xinsheng Entertainment, many people are paying attention to the developments of Xinsheng Entertainment.
Some directors and small production teams that lack investment are trying to find ways to get invitations, hoping to get in and meet Jing Ke, the boss who likes to spend money everywhere, to see if they can turn bad luck into good luck and become the lucky ones to be invested in.
As an entertainment company that has just changed its owner, holding an annual meeting that is completely closed to the public is not a wise move.
However, Jing Ke did not interfere too much and directly asked the human resources director to take charge of the arrangements. He sent an invitation letter to everyone who had a pleasant cooperation with him, stating that they could bring a friend with the invitation letter.
With a wealthy boss backing it, the Xinsheng Entertainment Annual Party was destined to be a grand affair, with gifts worth four figures, including lucky beads made of hard currency, gold.
Regardless of the value or the material, most people cannot refuse such a gift.
"I'm glad that everyone is willing to participate..." Jing Ke, wearing a white suit, stood on the stage and read out the script he had prepared long ago as emotionally as possible.
After successfully receiving warm applause from the audience, Jing Ke stepped down with a smile and handed over the remaining work to the vice president in charge of daily affairs.
"The procedures for the annual meeting are arranged jointly by human resources and public relations. The procedures are roughly the same as those of Zongheng, except that there are some more sensible writers on the guest list." After successfully showing up, Jing Ke returned to Shao Qing's side.
Xinsheng Entertainment’s annual meeting had a seating chart. Jing Ke was sitting in a seat where most of the people around her were hardworking workers, not those who were not in the circle.
So after seeing their boss and Shao Qing behaving intimately, they continued to do what they were doing, as if they hadn't seen anything.
"I remember you set up a big prize. Will you personally draw the lottery and present the prizes later?" Shao Qing asked.
Jing Ke nodded first, then shook her head. "The grand prize is a 188-square-meter house. You go draw it later, and then I'll present the prize."
"Am I here to draw a lottery? You didn't tell me this in advance." Shao Qing was a little surprised. She thought she was just here to show her face and go through the motions, but she didn't expect that there would be a part where she would need to go on stage.
"Originally, there was no such link, but the receptionist just told me that an executive from Zongheng Entertainment is also here, as a director friend," Jing Ke said.
"The other party may have come here to watch the fun, but it is also possible that they want to see your current situation in Xinsheng Entertainment." Jing Ke analyzed rationally.
Jing Ke: "Simply letting you sit at the same table with me is not enough to show my sincerity. I want them to know that I will not choose you because of benefits, but because I simply want to choose you."
Jing Ke didn't control her voice when she spoke, and other company executives at the table and the artists who wanted to come over to toast and show off their faces all heard it.
The former didn't react much. In their opinion, the fact that the boss asked Shao Qing to sit next to her during the annual meeting was enough to show her attitude.
As for the latter who came with a little ulterior motive, the expression on his face stiffened for a moment, and his originally flattering words became pure blessings and flattery, without any tricks.
There were some complicated emotions in Shao Qing's eyes. It was impossible for him not to be moved at all after being protected and cared for like this.
At least Shao Qing couldn't do it. Even though she had given some of her luck in advance, Shao Qing was still a little flattered after being treated like this.
As for the deeper emotions, Shao Qing didn't want to delve into them, nor did he dare to delve into them.
-
A property of 188 square meters in Hai City is not cheap. Even if it is in the suburbs, the selling price is as high as several million, which is a well-deserved prize.
So when the final grand prize was announced, most people couldn't help but look at the person in the black fishtail skirt on the stage, and countless pairs of eyes filled with expectation and longing fell on Shao Qing.
The lottery method is unremarkable, just randomly drawing a number plate that everyone can receive.
After seeing the self-disciplined writer raise his phone and point the camera at himself, Shao Qing did not hesitate and quickly pressed the button in front of him with a smile, causing a number to freeze on the big screen.
"Number 88, a very auspicious number. Is the person who received the number 88 here?" said the host holding the microphone, repeating the number 88 over and over again.
"It's me, I won!" The winner of the unexpected jackpot was a supervisor in the Finance Department.
Because of the special relationship in the Finance Department, after the boss changed, many so-called confidants were fired, and more than half of them were new employees who were poached.
This supervisor is one of the few employees who stayed. Because of his outstanding abilities, he was promoted to supervisor by Jing Ke last month.
"Please invite this lucky winner to come on stage to receive the award, and also welcome our chairman to present the award to her." The host said with a smile, but the envy in his eyes was also obvious.
A multi-million dollar house is given away just like that. He's truly a wealthy boss. It would be great if the host could also get a number plate! She wants to participate in the lottery too!
"Congratulations." Jing Ke took the property ownership certificate from the etiquette lady and handed it to the financial director generously. She rarely said a few more words, "You can go to go through the transfer procedures when you go to work tomorrow. The house is rough, and you can decorate it according to your preferences."
"Okay, thank you boss, I will work hard and help you manage the account books!" said the financial director with a little excitement.
In fact, Jing Ke’s outstanding appearance was at least half of the reason why she was willing to stay after the company changed owners.
However, no matter how good-looking the boss is, he cannot compare to the real estate certificate in his hand. The financial director just looked at his boss twice, then started to laugh foolishly while holding the real estate certificate.
Jing Ke didn't mind either. She took the initiative to go over and hold Shao Qing's hand. She stood in the center and cooperated with the people below to take pictures.
Whether it is the annual meeting grand prize of a 188-square-meter apartment, or Shao Qing's surprise appearance at the Xinsheng Entertainment annual meeting as a lucky draw guest, both are extremely attractive headlines.
So those self-disciplined writers who got the admission tickets took some slightly blurry photos with their mobile phones, then took out the tablets they carried with them and started writing their articles, with the main goal of seizing the initiative.
The reactions of netizens were similar to what they expected. After the manuscript was slightly polished and published, the click rate soared. A bunch of office workers who were still working overtime because the year was approaching couldn't help but shed sour tears after seeing the related hot posts.
[Why, why, I'm also in finance, why am I not the winner! ]
Is this the generosity of a big boss? He's giving away a house worth millions of dollars just like that. Is it too late for me to change jobs now?
[Why is my Qingqing also in the photo? Is this Qingqing's company's annual party?]
[No, this is Xinsheng Entertainment's annual party. The boss seems to be a good friend of Shao Qing. She must have been invited to attend, right?]
[If you remove the "as if" part, you can win the grand prize right away. Their relationship is a sure thing!]
[What, what? Is this couple I just got into giving out some sweets? Let me have a bite.]
[Wow, I also want to attend Xinsheng Entertainment's annual party. It's okay if I don't win the prize, just give me a gift. Yes, I'm talking about a lucky charm made of gold worth four figures.]
The office workers were slacking off while working overtime, and within an hour of these press releases being sent out, they were already manually pushed to the bottom of the hot searches.
When Jing Ke and Shao Qing left the annual meeting early after having a few drinks, the trending searches had already reached the top ten.
After politely declining the chief assistant's offer to take her home, Jing Ke skillfully got into Shao Qing's nanny car and asked the assistant to take them home together.
Jing Ke can drink a lot, but her face easily turns red when she drinks. Before she finished two glasses of wine, her face turned red, which made the people below afraid to toast her anymore.
Shao Qing's situation is somewhat the opposite. Her alcohol tolerance is just average, but she doesn't show any signs of drunkenness at all. If you are not close to her, you can't even tell the difference between her when she is drunk and when she is not drunk.
Even Shao Qing himself didn't think he was drunk. After the car started, he took out his mobile phone and planned to check what was trending online as usual.
After clicking the wrong software twice, Shao Qing finally opened his Weibo successfully. When he found his and Jing Ke's names appeared at the top of the hot searches, he clicked on it without thinking.
After holding the phone up to his eyes and looking at it carefully for a while, Shao Qing looked up at Jing Ke and said, "Boss, many people want to switch to your company. They also want the big prize."
"Really? The company plans to expand next year and some positions may become available in March. If they are interested, they can try submitting their resumes," Jing Ke said.
"Well - they also said that it's okay without the grand prize, they are not greedy, just want a souvenir." Shao Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the screen.
Under the influence of alcohol, Shao Qing seemed less cautious and careful than before, and became more straightforward when expressing his emotions.
"In that case, how about picking out a few netizens to give them as gifts? I remember the purchasing department seemed to have prepared about twenty extra souvenirs." Jing Ke said.
"Okay, then I'll post a Weibo post and give you a link to the lucky draw." Shao Qing agreed immediately. "Go ask the purchasing department how many lucky beads are left. We can draw them all and give them away."
"Okay." Jing Ke didn't delay and took out his mobile phone and sent a message to the purchasing director on the work app.
In less than three minutes, the purchasing director sent over the list of gifts and prizes left over from the annual meeting.
Jing Ke only asked for the extra 25 souvenirs, and as for the extra prizes, she asked the purchasing department to give them to the employees who contributed more at the annual meeting, which could be considered as New Year's gifts.
"There are 25 prizes in total. I've already told them. If you post a Weibo about the lottery, they will forward it," Jing Ke said.
"Okay, do you want to set a threshold for the lottery? For example, follow you?" Shao Qing asked while typing.
Jing Ke thought for three seconds and said, "Just follow your official account and the company's. I don't post on Weibo very often, so they don't need to follow me."
"Those are my fans and the fans of Xinsheng Entertainment." Shao Qing murmured softly, and after confirming that the number of prizes was correct, he pressed the send button.
[Wow, twenty-five gifts! The boss is so generous! He gives them away immediately! I love bosses like that!]
[Strange, why was this lucky draw Weibo post from Shao Qing? Shouldn't it have been from the boss?]
[Maybe it's because Shao Qing has more followers? If she posts, more people will see the message.]
[It must be because they're still together! We're all family, so why does it matter whose phone they used to send the message? The important thing now is to hurry up and draw the lottery. The results will be out tonight at 12 o'clock!]
[This is my CP candy, sisters, come and take a bite! CEOs and celebrities are really the best match! Especially female celebrities and female CEOs! ]
[Oh my god, what a quick draw! I'm the denominator! Winning spray!]
The lucky draw really did increase the number of fans. The company account, which originally had only tens of thousands of fans, quickly soared to hundreds of thousands and was about to reach a million.
However, this good news did not cause any reaction from Jing Ke, the company boss. Her attention was attracted by Shao Qing who appeared in front of her door in pajamas for the second time.
