Before the three of them had even finished their hotpot meal, Hu Jingxin called.
"Chengcheng, why aren't you and Zhiyi in the dorm? I brought you desserts from that shop we both said was delicious last time!"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and stood up, mouthing the word "go".
After dropping them both off at school, she called Zhong Yuan and the others on her way home.
After arriving home, she relayed Yan Chengcheng and Ren Zhiyi's opinions, which received unanimous praise.
She smelled the hotpot odor all over herself. "Alright, I've delivered the message. You two have three days to prepare. I'm going home now."
Tuesday is the annual meeting of the "Jiang Group".
Last year's group annual meeting was a great success. This year, when various subsidiaries were soliciting programs for their annual meetings, everyone was very enthusiastic. The organizing team spent half a month revising and editing before finalizing the program list.
Jiang Xiaoli saw herself as a mascot, only speaking up when the chairman was giving a speech, offering empty words of praise for the past and visions for the future.
The event included employee performances and prize giveaways, and after more than three hours, the annual meeting was about to end.
After a group of singers and dancers walked off the stage, the host announced, "Next up is the most important part of our 'Jiang Group' annual meeting. Please welcome Chairwoman Jiang Xiaoli and President Li Anting to the stage!"
A round of applause erupted from the audience. Jiang Xiaoli took the microphone and asked, "Is everyone applauding so enthusiastically because they're welcoming me and President Li more, or because they're looking forward to the big prize?"
"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter, a knowing smile on their faces.
The host said with a smile, "We have already given out a lot of prizes and bonuses over the past few days, but what follows is the main event of today!"
Everyone knows that our Chairman Jiang is a very generous boss. This year's annual meeting's first prize is 30,000 yuan in cash, awarded to five people.
The employees below were already eager to try it out when they heard this.
The host finished speaking loudly in one breath, "On top of this, Chairman Jiang has added a grand prize of 50,000 yuan in cash for three people! There's also a Sunshine Award for everyone, I mean everyone, everyone gets 188 yuan to take home!"
The audience erupted in cheers, and even those who thought they had no chance of winning started rummaging through their pockets for their tickets.
The host raised his hand to control the atmosphere, and after everyone gradually quieted down, he began, "Next, please welcome Mr. Li to draw five lucky winners of the first prize!"
The hostess led Li Anting to the raffle box. Li Anting smiled and said, "I'm very lucky. What if I draw myself?"
Jiang Xiaoli took the microphone, smiled at the audience, and said, "Let's all wish President Li good luck!"
The speakers played hilarious and funny sound effects, eliciting bursts of laughter from the entire audience.
Li Anting drew five lottery tickets in one go, and the host loudly called out the seat numbers on the tickets.
Li Anting smiled as he distributed cash rewards to five employees, saying, "This is a reward for coming to our own company. I hope everyone can work hard and create even greater achievements next year!"
The five of them nodded excitedly as they held the cash.
The host said with a smile, "Next, please invite Chairman Jiang to draw three lucky winners of the grand prize."
Li Anting laughed and said, "Chairman Jiang, I didn't draw my own name, so whether I win or not depends on you."
Jiang Xiaoli smiled slightly, "Then I'll try my best."
She quickly drew three lottery tickets, looked at them, and laughed, "An Ting, you have no chance."
The group's senior executives had very early table numbers and seating arrangements, clearly not the ones she had drawn.
After Jiang Xiaoli distributed the prize money to them, the host conducted a brief interview on the side.
"Which company in the group do you three work for? How do you plan to spend this money?"
A young man stepped closer to the microphone and said, "I work at Jiang's Investment. My daughter has always wanted to learn piano, and I plan to use this money for her tuition!"
Then a girl said, "I work at 'Jiang's Entertainment,' and I plan to save up money to buy a house in Kyoto and bring my parents to live with me."
The last middle-aged man choked up as he said, "I work at 'Jiang Li Ji' (姜李记). My mother is seriously ill, and this bonus is just in time. It means I don't have to let my mother give up on treatment..."
Jiang Xiaoli listened to their conversation and was filled with emotion.
She took the microphone and addressed the three of them, as well as all the employees in the audience, saying, "I've always thought that the employee treatment and benefits of 'Jiang's Group' are quite good, but today I realize that we haven't done enough."
I hereby promise everyone that in the future, the group will consider your perspective and do its utmost to create better conditions for you. We hope everyone can grow together with the group and witness history.
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Anting took the lead in applauding.
After the New Year holiday, Jiang Xiaoli called Zhu Han aside and said, "I want to establish labor unions in the group and its subsidiaries, and at the same time, establish a group employee foundation to help employees who have practical difficulties in life. Why don't you do some research on this first? Cao Jie can assist you."
Zhu Han nodded in agreement, "Okay."
Li Anting sincerely praised, "Chairman Jiang, you truly have eyes that see the stars and the sea, a heart that holds countless landscapes, and a mind that is full of beautiful flowers."
She chuckled and teased, "An Ting, even if you try to flatter me now, I won't give you any extra bonuses!"
"Haha." Li Anting laughed heartily, "Chairman Jiang, you've already given me too much."
Jiang Xiaoli reached out and patted her shoulder, "Keep up the good work, there will be more to come in the future."
Li Anting nodded in agreement, "Chairman Jiang, I will do my best."
It was nearly 4 p.m. when Jiang Xiaoli left the venue, and she returned to the company with a large bag of packed food.
This morning, "Yujia Technology" was attacked by foreign hackers again, causing Zong Jia to miss the annual meeting of "Jiang Group".
She and Cao Jie each carried a bag of lunch boxes to "Yu Jia Technology".
Zhong Yuan rushed over immediately upon seeing her, saying, "Little Pear, you've come at the perfect time! I'm starving!"
Jiang Xiaoli watched him shovel rice into his mouth like a hungry wolf. "Brother Yuan, is the hacker issue still unresolved?"
Zhong Yuan waved his hand, took a sip of water to clear his head, and then spoke, "It's been dealt with, but Brother Zong thinks this kind of behavior of attacking us from time to time is disgusting. He's currently having a video call with that guy surnamed Qiao!"
"The one surnamed Joe?" she asked after a moment's thought. "You mean Jonathan?"
“Yes, it’s him.” Zhong Yuan couldn’t help but complain, “Little Pear, is that kid really clean? I have a feeling that everyone at Vulcan Company is cut from the same cloth. This Jonathan might just be trying to mislead us.”
