"By the way, Manager Yang, what’s the staff’s reaction to so much overti work recently?" Tang Qing asked. Even though it sounded like a rhetorical question, it wouldn’t hurt to show so concern.
"Haha, what else can they do? Of course, there are complaints. Your developnt plan for the company is so tight, how can we accomplish it without working overti?" Yang Kai responded with a bitter smile. Since joining the company, he had not enjoyed a weekend off and spent every day working overti. Although he didn’t hold any grudges against overti, given his high annual salary, his situation was different from the employees. As a general manager, he could rest whenever he wanted and could go out for a walk too. The employees, however, didn’t have this luxury. They were supposed to work diligently when at the office, even if they had to fake it.
"Well, it seems, I’ve beco the ruthless capitalist. Hmm, let’s do this, give so extra bonuses to those who work overti, ask the cafeteria to prepare more delicious als, and don’t skimp out on the fruits. We have so many people, give each person who works overti about ten pounds of fruits to eat slowly. Buy more from the wholesale market next ti," Tang Qing suggested after thinking for a mont.
In his previous life, he hated overti work, especially when it encroached on his weekends and holidays. But then again, your attitude is largely influenced by your position in the hierarchies. When you’re the boss, it’s inevitable to want the employees to work a bit harder, do a little more. This is not dictated by one’s will. He didn’t have a philanthropic heart. His own money didn’t co easily; he had taken great risks to earn it. So in order to compensate for the extra work he was making the employees do, he decided to improve the company welfare.
"In that case, I thank you on behalf of my colleagues, Boss Tang," Yang Kai acknowledged, nodding. The company’s finances were not abundant at the mont; both the benefits and overti pay were diocre at best, at least the als could improve. He never dared to make bold financial decisions for fear of being wasteful. Now that Tang Qing had made the call, he was happy to go along with it.
"By the way, is there any difficulty with the finance departnt? I rember reading their weekly report the day before yesterday, it said that the company only has over nine hundred thousand, So how long can we last?" Tang Qing inquired again.
"As for the funds, there isn’t much of a problem. They can last until Chinese New Year. Initially, the factory had so accounts payable, leading to a cash crunch in the company. We paid for it first and can reimburse the company at the beginning of next month. Adding the e-comrce profits into account; the company’s financial status can last until Chinese New Year bonuses and wages have been distributed with no problems," Yang Kai explained slowly.
"Alright, that’s good to hear. When we get back to work after Chinese New Year, we’ll have thirty million in the accounts on the dot," added Tang Qing. Once the thirty million from Liu Qian’s funds arrived on Friday, he could step into the stock market. The market manipulators were still in the slow absorption phase, so he planned to invest his funds into stocks before Liu Qian’s funds arrived next week. He planned on letting the funds enter in a diverse manner so as not to draw attention. By doing it that way, he could leave a hundred thousand in his personal account for ergencies.
"Every ti I hear the news from Boss Tang, I’m full of zeal and energy," Yang Kai laughed. This was a truth universally acknowledged. The managers of enterprises always look forward to eting generous funders who are passionate about expansion. The dedication and pleasure they gain are difficult for ordinary people to understand. Such feelings even beco an obsession for many professional managers.
"Haha, that’s good. I’ll let you get back to work now, I’m going to see how Ms. Qi is doing," Tang Qing said as he got up.
"Good, I can’t help but appreciate how hands-off you are as a chairman. Since Ms. Qi complained about it many tis. Haha," Yang Kai laughed. From his perspective, he certainly hoped that the chairman would leave him alone so that he could fully tap into his talents. But from the perspective of a general manager and those below, they didn’t see it in the sa light. This kind of thinking was more about the seat you occupy rather than the person.
"Alright, I guess I’ll take the initiative and stop Ms. Qi from complaining," said Tang Qing with a bitter face.
On his hands-off walk, he decided to stick to his course. He had no interest in managing the company and getting tangled up in daily hassles. Seeing the big shots of the next generation being busy all the ti made him nervous as it was not what he wanted.
In his plan, his future companies would be uniformly supervised by a large asset managent company. This company would only have one job - to review all the corporate systems, developnt plans, financial status, resource allocation, etc., of his company. While there would be no direct subordination, all the major plans and developnt strategies of his company would have to be evaluated by professionals in each industry under this company. This would be done to prevent the professional managers from blindly ssing around.
Tang Qing simply had no interest in managing these companies. He couldn’t do it and didn’t want to learn. As long as there were people who could do it, it would be fine. He would provide the money, let others do the work. It was just as simple as that.
Upon leaving Yang Kai’s office, noise could still be heard from the second floor. Tang Qing walked over to Qi Yan’s office and knocked on the door a few tis, but there was no response. It seed she wasn’t in her office and was probably upstairs.
However, hearing the noise from the second floor that resembled a vegetable market, Tang Qing beca hesitant about going down. He was afraid to be looked at reproachfully by those won. It’s a big weekend, and it’s overti. Although it wasn’t his direct request, who asked him to set such an intense expansion plan? In the end, he would still be blad as the boss.
He took a few deep breaths.
Well, if death was inevitable, he thought, after hesitating for a while, Tang Qing prepared himself to be glared at by a group of people.
If he was even afraid of this, how could he handle bigger things in the future?
Tang Qing took Sun Chao with him to the second floor. The entire second floor was taken up by the design departnt. The number of personnel was continuously expanding; it was nearly one hundred people now, most of whom were won. He didn’t know how many of them would be working overti today.
As soon as he stepped out of the stairwell, he could sll different traces of perfu in the air. It slled nice, but he forced back the urge to take a deep breath, fearing it would ruin his image.
It couldn’t be helped; perfus were created to increase won’s charm for n. Ok, that was a lousy excuse.
Since the entire building was a fra structure, the previous owner had used wooden boards to partition so offices. Qi Yan had them removed because she felt the space was too small. She had specifically hired a master to take care of the cables on the second floor. Without the obstruction of walls, the place looked bigger and brighter.
Upon entering the door and turning right, he could see a huge office full of fashionably dressed female designers gathered in groups, discussing what Tang Qing couldn’t understand. He had no desire to supplent the jargon they were using with his imagination, and left it to the professionals to handle.
Seeing Tang Qing and Sun Chao, two big n walk in, the female employees imdiately took notice. Not that they hadn’t seen n before, there were n in the design departnt. But it was weird to see the two n strolling in so leisurely. The administrative departnt had the day off that day, only leaving one person on duty. The design departnt, however, had no days off and were extrely busy. If it weren’t for the attractive salary, overti bonus, and the company’s grand blueprint, they probably would have...
The female employees didn’t have much of a choice. It wasn’t easy to find a job in this day and age, let alone a fitting one that you liked.
The design departnt seriously lacked n, and the few male colleagues acted too effeminately. So, flirting with male colleagues from other departnts was one of their pastis. Seeing a handso young man walk in, so of the bolder won just couldn’t hold back.
"Wow, such a handso young boy."
"Young boy, who are you looking for?"
"Exactly, tell us, sister will help you find them."
"Hey little brother, what’s your na? Your sister here is nad Li i, rember that okay?"
"Wow, this guy is so MANly, totally could be a model, those muscles and that look in his eyes..."
"......"
What the heck?
Did I go to the wrong place?
This is not an entertainnt venue!
Are girls these days so bold as to openly flirt with good young n?
Tang Qing touched his nose and didn’t respond. He was taken aback by so many questions, and Sun Chao’s face turned beet red. It was the first ti he’d been critiqued by so many won.
Those who knew Tang Qing all had their own offices, so no one recognized Tang’s identity. However, soone who’d co here definitely wasn’t a random passerby, so no one stepped forward to shoo them away.
Tang Qing looked around but didn’t see Wang Yan. The two assistant managers of the Design Departnt weren’t here either. Okay, it seed he went the wrong way. They must be on the other side of the stairs.
Although it was a bit impolite, Tang Qing really couldn’t respond to everyone, so he could only say: "Ahem, everyone, is your Boss Qi on the other side?"
"Yes, she went to the assistant manager’s office. Little brother, what do you need from her? What’s your relationship with her? I don’t rember her having a brother. Coming to see our Boss Qi at this hour, are you here for a blind date? Ah, the guy behind you looks pretty good, just a bit too rustic. If..." The one called Li i took the lead to answer, and then she just... couldn’t stop talking.
Tang Qing felt cold sweat on his forehead.
I was wrong.
I shouldn’t have asked for directions.
I shouldn’t have co here.
And where did you get that logic about a blind date from?
Isn’t that a big leap?
Li i didn’t give Tang Qing a chance to speak at all. Eventually, her professional habits kicked in and she started discussing how Sun Chao dressed.
Sun Chao was sweating profusely, thinking to himself, won are so terrifying.
Although Tang Qing and Sun Chao felt overwheld, the other female designers seed interested, adding their own comnts and starting a discussion.
Tang Qing, standing nearby, was filled with speechless frustration. His inner complaints wouldn’t stop.
Hey, aren’t you swerving off topic?
I was just asking for directions.
Are you trying to punish ?
I...
I was wrong.
I was really wrong, I shouldn’t have co this way from the start. If I didn’t go right, I wouldn’t be in this sad...
Tang Qing shook his head and brushed off his strange reflexive response. It was all because he’d watched too many martial arts series.
Just as Tang Qing was stuck between a rock and a hard place, a voice sounded from behind him.

If later updates are late, please be patient. It may be that I haven’t finished typing or sothing ca up.
