In mid-February, Blue Whale and several related companies held their annual meeting at a five-star hotel in Shanghai.

Annual meetings are held every year, in varying sizes, and are basically focused on eating, drinking, and having fun.

Last year was a glorious year for Blue Whale, with numerous hit products and considerable profits.

At the same time, with Wei Yang taking over PPTV, the company's strategic development has reached a new level. It can be said that good things have happened one after another, so naturally it has become extremely generous.

Not to mention the banquet, just for the raffle products, Lao Xia specifically asked Boss Wei to approve them, and the total value is over 10 million.

Including computers, mobile phones, cash red envelopes, home appliances, high-end cigarettes, alcohol and cosmetics, as well as the first prize - a Mercedes-Benz car worth more than 500,000 yuan.

Although a Mercedes-Benz at this price cannot be considered a luxury car, it is given away for free. If you really can't make money from it, it would be worth a lot of money if you sell it.

What’s more important is that Blue Whale’s annual meetings are never frivolous. Unlike other companies, the first prize is not a gimmick, and the winner is either pre-determined or not drawn.

The old employees of the company all know that every year at the annual meeting, old employees, high-value employees and senior executives may have a small guarantee, but only the first prize is fair and just, because the first prize of the annual meeting is mostly cars, with varying prices and quantities.

Sometimes it is a luxury car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and sometimes it may be 3 to 5 mid-range cars. The price is not as good as the former, but the number of places increases.

Therefore, there are only one or a few lucky people every year. So far, the highest level winner of the first prize is only a deputy director of a department. There is even a legend that an intern who has just been converted to a full-time employee won the award. Such a list obviously has nothing to do with internal appointment.

So much so that at every annual meeting, the three things that employees pay most attention to are, first, what award they have won, and second, who will win the first prize.

The third thing is the performing guests at the annual meeting.

As for the annual meeting, there are naturally performances. Sometimes they are the company’s artists, but there are also outsiders, and most of them are big names. The most talked about one year was when Girls’ Generation and Aoi Sora were invited.

However, it was obvious that the vote had failed that time. Since then, the guests at the annual meetings would at most ask for their opinions, but they never let the employees vote again.

This year's guests are actually a bit regrettable, because the most popular guests of the year are basically their own stars.

Top popular stars Lu Han, Zhang Ruoyun, Di Lieba, Xue Zhiqian, as well as Qiao Zhenyu and Xiao Zhao, who sang the theme song "Annual Rings" of "The Journey of Flower".

There are also external artists, including the Chopstick Brothers from "Little Apple", G.E.M. who became famous in "I Am a Singer", and TFBOYS who became less popular this year. They are quite popular but of lower status.

The employees were quite satisfied, but Wei Yang felt that it was not surprising enough, and he criticized Lao Xia and the person in charge for it.

The two felt very aggrieved. Half of the most popular stars last year were here, and there were still a few others such as Da Mimi, Tang Yan, Liu Shishi, and Fan Xiaopang whom they would like to invite, but they were afraid that the boss would not be able to bear the surprise.

Wei Yang is quite busy this year and has attended more than one annual meeting.

In the early years when Blue Whale and Red Shark were small, the two companies even attended their annual meetings together. Later, as the number of employees increased, they held their annual meetings separately.

There are a group of blue whales and a group of red sharks, and this year there is another PPTV.

Internet companies like video websites already have a large number of employees. After Wei Yang took over, a large number of reforms and rapid development led to a rapid increase in the number of PPTV employees.

In the middle of last year alone, the number of full-time employees exceeded four figures, and now it is almost 2,000. There are also some employees and teams that are difficult to count, otherwise the number would be even higher.

A company of this size, coupled with the favorable developments last year, naturally has to hold an annual meeting.

Don't think that companies holding annual meetings are just a way for bosses to show off and waste money.

When an enterprise is developing smoothly, appropriately holding such collective activities can enhance employee cohesion. At the same time, a large number of welfare benefits can also allow the boss and senior management to make a name for themselves, thereby improving internal reputation and winning people's hearts.

For example, Red Shark. Wei Yang has not shown up for many years, but his reputation among internal employees has always been good. One very important reason for this is that various benefits are distributed at the annual meeting.

Another function of the annual meeting is to prove one's strength to employees, the outside world, partners and even banks.

The bigger the annual meeting is, the better. It proves that the company is developing well, and everyone will have confidence in you.

Therefore, if you are able, the better the annual meeting is run, the greater the benefit to the company.

Of course, there are also some companies that like to play tricks, that is, the worse the company's situation is, the bigger the annual meeting will be, mainly to fool creditors and banks.

Wei Yang has heard similar rumors in both the entertainment and business circles.

Fan Xiaopang told him that she had previously attended the wedding of the daughter of the richest man in the area. It was a huge fuss, and several celebrities were invited at great expense, which made her a big splash in the local area.

As a result, within two years, the richest man's family went bankrupt, and she later found out that the company was no longer viable.

The wedding was a deliberate publicity stunt to deceive the bank. Not only did it shut the bank's mouth when it came to collecting debts, but it also allowed the bank to borrow some money.

Therefore, only a businessman knows how much is in his wallet, and many seemingly unnecessary expenses actually have another purpose.

Wei Yang doesn't need to cheat the bank's money, but it is still necessary to rally the people inside and show his strength to the outside world.

They are busy attending various annual meetings, where they not only spend money and gifts, but more importantly, after the annual meetings, executives usually have to hold a few internal banquets as a reward and celebration for the past year.

Under such circumstances, Wei Yang, as the boss, naturally became the absolute focus.

Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to force Boss Wei to drink easily, but it was the annual meeting and the atmosphere was harmonious. With the achievements of the past year and the joy of the Spring Festival, everyone became bolder and as long as someone took the lead, everyone would rush in.

Today's scene at PPTV was particularly tragic.

Unlike the Blue Whale and the Red Shark, many of the company's executives are Boss Wei's direct descendants and veterans, following Boss Wei all the way, and the relationship is there.

Boss Wei of PPTV came in late. Quite a number of senior executives are former employees, and some have just joined and are not familiar with Boss Wei. Naturally, they will show their loyalty when they get the chance.

The executives of the first two companies more or less had a revengeful mentality of getting their boss drunk, while the executives of PPTV didn't dare to force them to drink, but they drank the most.

There is no way. These executives want to make their attitude clear to the boss, and Boss Wei also has to make his attitude clear to appease people.

So when the executives came over to toast him, they would often exchange their three cups for his, launching a suicide attack. It was not convenient for Boss Wei to refuse, and once one person drank, the others could not stop.

The final outcome was that even Boss Wei felt a little weak in the knees after such a fierce battle and the aftereffects of the previous two days.

Another person who was besieged, Li Ji, the actual person in charge of the website, lost consciousness before the banquet was halfway through and was eventually dragged away by his secretary and designated driver.

The remaining executives did not have a good ending either. Two-thirds of them were drunk, two of them were drunk and crazy, and the rest of them were dizzy and almost no one could stand to manage the work.

This even forced the boss Wei Yang to personally take charge of the aftermath, which shows how fierce the drinking fight was.

"Send Mr. Li home, and then let the group know."

"Please pay attention to Mr. Gao's condition and buy some sobering medicine on the way. If you feel uncomfortable, go to the hospital."

"Mr. Sun is from another place and seems to live alone. Please send him home and don't leave in a hurry. If you really can't help him, stay overnight and take care of him. Tell him what I said later."

"It's inconvenient for you as a woman. See if you have his family's contact information. Give them a call and ask them to pick him up."

“…”

Fortunately, many executives had an idea before coming and asked their secretaries, assistants or capable subordinates to stay here. With these people's help, Wei Yang at least didn't have to deliver them one by one in person.

After working for more than half an hour, he finally sent everyone away. Wei Yang patted his dizzy head and smiled bitterly.

"I really owe them. They forced me to drink and I still have to clean up their mess. No, I'm going to find a way to deduct their bonuses to vent my anger."

Wei Fei beside him said with a smile: "I told you to go and rest. I'll handle it here. Who can worry you?"

On the one hand, he was worried, as many people drank a little too much, and Wei Yang was afraid something might happen. On the other hand, he also wanted to win people's hearts. These secretaries and assistants were all from his own company, and once they reported the matter to their boss and the company, Boss Wei's image as a caring person for his subordinates would be established.

"Okay, you go first, I'm going home too."

Wei Yang felt a little uncomfortable due to the wind and was ready to go home to rest. The driver was already waiting and helped him into the car.

"Boss, where are you going?"

Wei Yang has several "homes", and even he, a driver, is not sure where some of them are, so he has to ask for clarification every time he goes home.

Wei Yang closed his eyes. Ever since he returned to Shanghai to attend the annual meeting, he had been caught by Zhao Liying and had to stay at home obediently for the past few days.

The driver knew that Wei Yang had been drinking, so he drove very steadily. Boss Wei took a nap and when he woke up he was already home.

Wei Yang, who walked fairly steadily, refused the driver's help, walked upstairs slowly by himself, unlocked the door with his fingerprint, and then threw himself on the sofa.

Zhao Liying, who was applying a facial mask in the bedroom, came out after hearing what he said. She was furious when she saw Wei Yang reeking of alcohol.

"These people have never drunk alcohol, right? They will say there will be no alcohol banquet next year. If there is one, let them drink it by themselves."

As Wei Yang's girlfriend, Zhao Liying deeply detested the act of getting her man drunk. Wei Yang drank most easily at the Blue Whale, and a big reason for that was that Zhao Liying was staring at everyone at the side, intimidating several executives.

Deputy Minister Zhao's reputation in the company is growing. Even though her position is not high, all senior executives have to give her some face, especially since Wei Yang is standing behind her. Who would dare to offend her?

Even Old Xia was afraid that she would whisper in the ear of Boss Wei and then make things difficult for him...

"Pour me a glass of water."

Wei Yang held his forehead and waved his hands. Zhao Liying saw that he was sleeping awkwardly, so she put a pillow behind his back to make him more comfortable, and then went to make him a cup of honey water.

After drinking a few sips of warm water, Wei Yang felt a little better: "This is a special year, it will be much better next year. Besides, they are worse off than me."

"Yes, you have a huge capacity. Who can drink more than you?"

Zhao Liying rolled her eyes at him unhappily. Wei Yang didn't usually like to drink, but once he got into a drinking party, he would definitely have to lie down.

Even though Wei Yang has a good alcohol tolerance and generally nothing serious happens, drinking so much is never good, so Zhao Liying doesn't like him to go to such drinking places.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I'll be more careful next time."

Wei Yang decisively admitted defeat. He would not argue with a woman in a situation like this, especially since she was doing it for his own good.

Zhao Liying snorted, poured him a cup of hot water and left it aside, then went to the bedroom and came out with a foot bath bucket a few moments later.

"Get up and soak in some bubbles, sweat and relieve fatigue."

After drinking, you generally cannot take a bath or soak your feet, because blood vessels dilate after drinking, and taking a bath, whether it is hot or cold, will act as an external stimulus, accelerate blood circulation, and cause some discomfort.

But having said that, in reality it varies from person to person, and there are many taboos after drinking, so the specific situation needs to be analyzed specifically.

For example, Wei Yang likes to soak his feet after drinking. Not only does he not feel any discomfort, but he feels much more comfortable and sobers up faster.

Zhao Liying knew Wei Yang's habit, so when she saw that he had drunk too much, she prepared some foot-washing water for him to soak his feet.

"I'm too lazy to move."

Wei Yang was drunk and lying there motionless. Zhao Liying pinched him twice, but still helped him take off his shoes and socks, and then put him in the foot soaking tub. Wei Yang felt that the water was not hot enough, so she poured him some hot water.

"Thank you, wife."

Wei Yang was soaking his feet, then he reached out and picked up the squatting Zhao Liying and held her in his arms. The latter was petite, like a big doll, and Boss Wei sometimes liked to hold her in his arms.

"Oh, water, my shoes and pants are wet."

Zhao Liying was caught off guard and her feet stepped into the bucket, soaking her slippers and trouser legs, but Wei Yang didn't care.

"It's wet, so let's wash it together."

He helped Zhao Liying smooth her trouser legs, and then put her feet into the foot bath. Wei Yang, who was quite interested, pressed his feet on her feet and rubbed the soles of her feet, making Zhao Liying itch.

Zhao Liying has small feet, so she usually wears size 34 shoes. Sometimes she needs special shoes for events or filming.

Moreover, Xiao Zhao not only has small feet, but they are also chubby. Among the many women in Wei Yang, she is not the most beautiful, but definitely the cutest and the most voluptuous, which often makes Boss Wei, who has a "warden" fetish, love her very much... and can't let go of her hands.

Zhao Liying knew this very well. When she saw the man's expression, she knew that he was "sick" again, so she quickly stepped back to stop him from doing anything wrong.

Drinking has its advantages, that is, the delivery time is extremely long. I have tortured her enough in the past two days. Today she feels a little weak and says she dare not tease me anymore.

"Wait, I have something serious to tell you."

"You talk, I'm listening."

Boss Wei was in a bad mood, and the wine helped to liven up his mood. After Wei Yang soaked his feet and hugged his wife, he no longer felt uncomfortable, but his hands and mouth were not very obedient.

Zhao Liying gritted her teeth and held down Wei Yang's thief's hand, panting softly: "My dad wants to see you."

"Just see you... huh?!"

Wei Yang suddenly raised his head, and sobered up instantly: "My father-in-law is coming to the Magic City?"

"No."

Seeing Wei Yang's big reaction, Zhao Liying also felt a little scared and lowered her head, muttering to herself.

"My parents have been asking about our affairs online for the past few months. I didn't want to tell them at first, but one time I happened to receive a video call and my aunt saw it. Then my dad knew that your parents had met me, so he wanted to meet you."

"Let me be clear, it was really just an accident. I was at home when the video was connected, and my aunt happened to hear it. Who knew she would suddenly come over to say hello? She was the one who told the story, so you can't blame me."

Zhao Liying was afraid that Wei Yang would think that she was forcing him and would get angry, so she quickly added some explanation.

She really wasn't being scheming. The current situation was too chaotic and she didn't want to let her parents know. Otherwise, if the old couple got involved and something went wrong, it would put her in a passive position when the situation was originally very good.

The most important thing is that this approach is too radical and can easily cause a strong backlash from Wei Yang. Zhao Liying absolutely dare not test it easily.

If we really have to talk about someone who is scheming, it should be Wang Yunping.

The latter was so eager for Wei Yang to get married and have children that she was almost going crazy. She took the opportunity to set a trap for her son and forced him to get married by taking advantage of the pressure from his father-in-law and mother-in-law. As for whether Wei Yang was angry or not, he would never turn against her, his biological mother.

"This is really pitting my son!"

Wei Yang smiled bitterly in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face: "Why are you panicking? I don't blame you. You have to meet him when you have to."

"real?!"

Xiao Zhao was a little surprised. She had kept this matter in her heart for several days and had never dared to say it. Today, seeing that the atmosphere was good and Wei Yang was in a good mood, she dared to say it out loud. She had been prepared for Wei Yang to be angry in advance, but she didn't expect him to be so calm.

"What do you mean?"

Wei Yang pinched Zhao Liying's nose and said, "Logically speaking, I should have come to visit a long time ago, but I haven't been mentally prepared and I'm a little scared, so I haven't mentioned it. Now that my father-in-law has spoken, I must go."

This kind of thing cannot be avoided, so if that's the case, you might as well say it nicely to improve your wife's favorability.

Xiao Zhao was indeed delighted and touched, but still a little worried: "Can you do it? My dad has a bad temper."

"Whatever, you can beat me or scold me, who made me sleep with someone else's daughter?"

"Pooh."

Xiao Zhao pinched her, then patted her chest, which was barely moving, in a loyal manner.

"Don't worry, if my dad dares to touch you, I will pull out all his flowers and plants, and then beat up his son to vent your anger."

Wei Yang: “…”

Your father and your brother are so lucky to have a daughter and sister like you...
