Chapter 434 Heartless in a CEO Novel (14)
ST Hotel, 26th floor.
The welcome party was lively from beginning to end. The planned process ensured that no one was left out or offended, and it covered almost the entire comfort zone of today's young employees.
The cognitive threshold is not high, and the humorous and interesting introduction makes it easy for older people to keep up.
The only regret is that later on, more and more people became impatient and started looking around frequently, hoping that the president would appear.
But even as the event was nearing its end, Shao Yunshen still hadn't come down.
but,
Finally, Manager Kim brought good news. Although he didn't arrive in person, the gifts he brought were quite impressive.
Originally, the banquet would include a lucky draw, but most of the time it was more about fun than value, and it was often just new and old employees exchanging gifts, as well as regular gifts purchased by the group.
The value of the gifts should be in line with the group's status, but if they are too stable and conventional, they will lose their sense of surprise.
This time, Shao Yunshen increased the prize pool, not only setting the number of winners based on the number of attendees, but also making each prize level quite valuable.
There's a 50% chance of getting the last prize, which still includes a month's salary, calculated based on the amount after the official contract is signed. This makes everyone feel better; they get a bonus for free while eating and drinking, and suddenly it feels like an extra month of life has been added to their lives.
The third prize is two months' salary.
The second prize is equivalent to four months' salary.
Then, the first prize is double the year-end bonus. Shenta's average year-end bonus is six months' salary, almost doubling the salary. And there's a 3% chance of winning, which is more than just a large sum.
As a result, the CFO's expression was not very pleasant at the meeting.
In particular, there is one super lucky winner for the grand prize, the prize of which is the right to purchase group stock. Currently, Shenta's stock is mainly used for internal subscription and repurchase, and is not publicly traded.
The price of each share has reached a price that is highly coveted.
However, the distribution process is extremely strict. Perhaps the male protagonist learned from the past turmoil in the Shao family, as Shenta's structure was quite rigorous from the beginning, rarely making the mistakes of rash newcomers.
Those present were all future elites of Shenta, and should therefore have high expectations for the group's development. Consequently, many experienced middle and upper-level managers showed interest and actively helped Manager Jin check the lottery procedures, etc.
To prevent any foul play from happening, we waited an extra half hour for the test.
period,
Financial staff explaining the eligibility requirements for purchasing is both educational and a waste of time.
However, many people calmed down, did their math on their savings, and then temporarily gave up on the idea.
The other prizes are all cash, but the grand prize is only the qualification to buy shares, and Shenta's stock price is currently one of the highest in the entire market. Even if you empty your savings, you can't buy too many shares, and some people will always wonder if this situation is buying at a high price.
Or perhaps the group is facing some problems, and the shareholders want to recoup their losses. Buying at an excessively high price and holding on doesn't guarantee much profit. In short, some employees present shifted their focus away from the prize money.
I can't afford the top-class, so I'll go with the first-class.
Xia Youmi didn't put much thought into it. She started by actively socializing and observing the expressions of everyone present, then gradually let her mind wander, taking advantage of the moment when everyone was focused on the lottery to drift off into her own world.
too tired.
For some reason, Kim Soon-mi kept asking Ha Yoo-mi to accompany her and socialize after she entered the venue.
At first, they thought it was just a random conscription, and that they were simply fulfilling their duty by introducing her during conversations and connecting the topic. But gradually, Luo Yu and An Yubei also came over and joined the team.
Although Manager Jin did not express any objection to letting people leave, when communicating with others, apart from introducing their names, he made no attempt to bring up the other two, and still inadvertently talked about Xia Youmi.
She and her business partner went to the same school, and so did her family.
Even the most oblivious person would notice something amiss, let alone someone as perceptive as Luo Yu and An Yubei.
Xia Youmi didn't know how Kim Soon-mi brainwashed them, but she felt that the two of them didn't suspect that Kim Soon-mi had received any instructions, but rather that she had privately promised some benefits or made some threats.
This allowed Xia Youmi to turn the tables at this crucial moment.
An Yubei's anger was already written all over her face; she was just short of yelling at him, her eyes screaming, "You're so despicable!" It was all for naught; she had always pretended to be nonchalant and easygoing, letting people lower their guard—it turned out she was just waiting for this.
Not only does she need to make a first appearance in front of clients and new employees to show that she is the most valued, but she also needs to outshine the other two in terms of appearance and presence.
Although Luo Yu was not as excited as An Yubei, her eyes were cold, and she did not raise her eyes to the standard angle when she looked at Xia Youmi.
Feeling like a thorn in her side, Xia Youmi felt that Jin Shunmei must have done it on purpose.
But in this situation where opportunity and test coexist, no matter what strange things happen, she can't let her new secretary down, otherwise she'll completely ruin her career from the very beginning.
She was caught in a pincer movement, probed by clients and their female companions, including those who wanted to become her secretary but lacked the connections or didn't want to take the proper route. They inquired from various angles about how she had been selected and whether she had any prior connection with Shao Yunshen.
There are also rival groups that always show up when there's something to do, constantly making provocative remarks.
In addition, there is internal pressure.
Kim Soon-mi seemed to be giving a serious introduction, but in reality, she always pushed the topic to a dangerous edge. If Xia Youmi didn't perform well, it would be natural for her to embarrass herself.
Then there's the coordinated effort of An Yubei and Luo Yu after they realized what was happening, constantly praising Xia Youmi to the point of ruin.
In addition, after escaping the siege, Lin Zhu would occasionally come to cause trouble, as a way to avenge the fact that the lobby elevator had failed to save him.
Finally, there is the review from other departments.
It could be said that Xia Youmi was being roasted from all sides. If she hadn't been so knowledgeable and hadn't developed a tough exterior, she might have blushed and been unable to withstand the pressure.
Fortunately, time will pass, and the allure of lotteries outweighs everything else, making it impossible to escape the temptation.
Summer rice is not as interesting as money, but at least it brings peace and quiet.
At this moment, He Lucai walked over, cast a sympathetic look at her, smiled at each other, and then sat down in a daze.
He Jing could see the situation clearly, so as one of the heads of the secretariat, he also had to hang around Xia Youmi's side to appear sociable.
However, timing and location are left to chance, so choose the time when you are least in the spotlight to make the friendliest gesture.
No one is to be offended.
This once-obvious corner seems to have returned to the work atmosphere they're used to.
"Prize Number: Number 80!"
"Please come to the finance office on the tenth floor of the Shenta Tower within three days to complete the prize collection process!"
Inside the venue, everyone was whispering and waiting for number 80 to appear. However, it was clear that this lucky person chose to keep a low profile, showing no intention of accepting blessings or attention, and his identity was not revealed until the event ended.
Under the watchful eyes of Jin Shunmei and the others, Xia Youmi immediately accepted the second prize ticket, the biggest prize among them. Receiving such a tangible benefit alleviated some of her mental fatigue.
Xia Youmi smiled happily and said that she had treated her secretary to coffee for the next week before carrying her small bag back home.
The ST Hotel is actually quite new, but its location is excellent.
This is different from the style of many established companies in the market.
Without any stale or outdated feel, it particularly attracts trendy young tourists. Many people book rooms long-term, and the hotel's luxurious underground parking lots are mostly used by these discerning guests.
Outside the venue, there is also a large open-air parking lot, which is more friendly to customers who come and go quickly.
It was unexpected that Xia Youmi didn't notice and avoid Shao Yunshen. Or perhaps, even without this awkward situation in the elevator, Jin Shunmei would have made Xia Youmi the target as well when she entered the venue.
And its eagerness to return after the year has passed further confirms this speculation.
“Youmi, Shao Yunshen was talking to Jin Shunmei on the top floor about you, saying that the candidate has been decided.”
"Oh? Manager Kim didn't try to dissuade him?"
"I tried to persuade you, but they said you're a troublemaker."
"Haha!" Xia Youmi laughed just thinking about that scene.
"Then Shao Yunshen said he understood and asked Jin Shunmei to come downstairs to attend the dinner."
"He really is a riddle-maker, speaking as cautiously as if he were guarding against a bug." Xia Youmi thought of something, "However, we really did run into Nian Nian's surveillance camera today. It's like the heavens are protecting the protagonist, and I won't spoil it."
“Yumi, let’s open a pet shop near Shenta!” Niannian was eager to try, her tone carrying a determination to fight to the end, sounding inexplicably passionate.
"Hmm, don't worry, Nian Nian, we'll deal with whatever comes our way! It's just a matter of being pushed to the forefront, which isn't necessarily a bad thing for me. Besides, I just spent a lot of money and can't open the shop for the time being, what a pity..."
“It’s okay, I have money! I have a physical store that I can open to make money!” Nian Nian shyly presented the proposal to Xia Youmi.
"You had this planned all along, didn't you?"
"I want to go back to work, so I can have more businesses and not just one." Nian Nian checked her claws.
"Ugh, you really beat me."
