"Yes, yes, then I’ll order an afternoon tea for the whole company to celebrate Mr. Ning’s new book becoming a bestseller," said Ze Wu, imdiately showing his enthusiasm. "And I also wish ’Loving You Is Loving Myself’ to beco a tiless classic in the field of psychology."
Just then, soone from the secretary’s office knocked on Shi Wangyue’s door.
"Mr. Yun, there’s a package at the door that needs your signature."
Ze Wu imdiately stood up with a smile, "Mr. Ning’s book has arrived; I’ll go sign for it."
Soon.
All employees of Starlight Investnt Fund Company received the generous gift from their Mr. Yun—the incredibly popular bestseller, ’Loving You Is Loving Myself,’ three copies each.
"Oh my gosh, my copy is signed!"
An excited employee scread upon opening a new book on the spot.
"Mine doesn’t have the goddess’s autograph."
That’s the luck of the less fortunate employee.
"Open them all; see if the other two have a signature."
"This one doesn’t have it."
"Neither does mine."
"Ah! I found a special signature!"
"Holy...! Aweso!"
"Show us what the goddess wrote?!"
"The goddess’s handwriting is beautiful!"
Following that, they all enjoyed the extra afternoon tea from Mr. Yun.
"Thank you, Mr. Yun."
"Thanks for the afternoon tea, Mr. Yun."
"If you really appreciate it, then read the book properly," said Ze Wu as he enjoyed so dessert.
anwhile, he called to Assistant Jin, "Little Jin, take a portion to your boss too."
"Thank you, Mr. Yun, it’s already been delivered," Assistant Jin said, just picking up a freshly squeezed juice from the table.
"Then eat a bit more," Ze Wu added.
"Thank you, Mr. Yun," Assistant Jin said, picking up a serving of lemon chicken feet from the table.
"This is so delicious, Assistant Jin likes it too," a female employee said with a smile.
"Yes," Assistant Jin nodded shyly.
A pretty female employee handed him another serving of mango dessert, "Assistant Jin, take more, we have plenty."
Assistant Jin shook his head, "Thanks, I can’t finish it all."
After Assistant Jin left.
Several female employees enjoying afternoon tea laughed, "Assistant Jin, a big guy, has a smaller stomach than us, no wonder he’s so skinny."
"Exactly, makes a bit embarrassed to keep eating."
"Though it’s embarrassing, I still have to eat—" the speaker lowered her voice, "This is a celebration al for our boss’s wife’s new book’s success, we must eat!"
"Right," others nearby chid in quietly.
They leaned in together, "Do you think these books were given by Mr. Yun or Mr. Shi?"
"Did you not hear? Both the books and afternoon tea were from Mr. Yun."
"Huh? Then what about Mr. Shi? Is the ’devoted husband’ reputation gone suddenly?!"
"Shh..."
"Maybe Mr. Shi is confident that his wife’s book will sell well, so he didn’t buy any to give away."
"What are you all whispering about?" Ze Wu finished his dessert and sipped his juice, "If you like eating, eat more; you all have such great figures, eating won’t make you fat."
He happened to hear the opening of their conversation.
"We were just saying this place’s desserts are so good," the female employees stood up and said with a smile.
"If it’s good, we’ll have them again in a few days," Ze Wu casually put one hand in his pocket, his wrist adorned with a low-key yet luxurious Richard Mille watch.
"Can we order more chicken feet next ti?" a male employee suggested.
"Of course," Boss Yun was generous and open, "Tell the admin what you want to eat, it’ll be on my tab."
His promise received loud cheers from the employees.
Soone also said, "Then I won’t eat lunch next ti."
After a while.
Ze Wu said with a smile, "After you’re full, be sure to read the books properly. Once you’re done, I’ll take the ti to evaluate whether your psychological abilities have improved using empirical thods from the book."
"Don’t worry, Mr. Yun, I will definitely study Mr. Ning’s book thoroughly, and will promptly share it with friends after reading, surely won’t waste such a wonderful resource you gifted us," said an adorable girl with resolve.
"You’ve got a good eye," Ze Wu smiled and gave a thumbs up to the cute girl.
That afternoon, the atmosphere at Starlight Investnt Fund Company was unprecedentedly lively.
Besides work-related matters, Shi Wangyue rarely communicated with the employees.
Things like afternoon tea were always delivered to his office by the secretary or Assistant Jin.
But not eating with everyone didn’t an he was unaware of the lively atmosphere outside.
With the clamor outside, he paused his work.
He stood up, opened the afternoon tea that Assistant Jin had brought in and left on his coffee table, a small cake and a glass of freshly squeezed avocado juice.
Halfway through the cake, he received a call from the sales departnt of Ershi Technology Publishing House.
"Mr. Shi, the books you instructed us to send to the hundred community libraries have all been sent out. There’s quite a bit of money left over from what you paid; we were thinking of refunding it to your original account, is that okay?"
"No need, use the remaining balance to continue donating to other community libraries, thank you for your hard work," Shi Wangyue said in a cool voice.
"Not at all, thank you for your support," the other party said happily upon hearing his words.
...
anwhile.
Across from the office building where Starlight Investnt Fund Company is located, Fenghua Daily Chemical Group was experiencing a similar scene.
However, Fenghua Daily Chemical Group’s employees had never seen Ning Youguang at the company.
So when they suddenly received the books from Ming Chao, they were a bit puzzled.
After the confusion, they quietly discussed among themselves—
"Why did Ming Chao suddenly give us books? Does he think our cultural literacy needs improvent?"
"I’ve seen this book several tis in bookstores, it’s really popular."
"The author is a professor at the University of Science and Technology of China, seems like it’s really worth reading."
"Hey, aren’t you curious why Ming Chao suddenly gave us books?"
"There must be so special aning behind it."
"..."
The different reactions of Fenghua Daily Chemical Group’s employees to receiving the gifts from Ming Chao compared to Starlight Investnt Fund Company employees receiving gifts from Ze Wu also highlight the stark differences in their personalities and approaches when dealing with subordinates.
Ming Chao has always been known for his strict, reticent, and elite image in the eyes of Fenghua Daily Chemical Group’s employees.
He consistently employs a result-oriented approach whether in his work or while managing his subordinates.
As a result, when the employees received his books, they couldn’t help but think seriously about whether there was a deeper purpose or aning behind it.
So, their attitude toward this newly received book beca especially serious and cautious.
Many even planned to approach reading it with the sa diligence they had when writing their college graduation theses. 1314
