Chapter 153: Chapter 134: Bring Two Phantoms Home
Chen Pingsheng was very excited and urgently wanted to accumulate more Physique Accumulation Points.
So that he could quickly restore his physique to the strength of his eighteenth year, fit enough for ten bouts in a single night without getting winded.
With Tengying Entertainment having sold "Hua Qiangu" for a whopping 480 million, it could be said that the whole company was crazy with excitement.
This time, no one would dare say that Tengying was still a company on the brink of bankruptcy.
When Chen Pingsheng returned to his CEO office, many employees greeted him along the way and even gave him a round of applause.
"Bai Xin."
"The little secretary is here."
It took Bai Xin only three seconds to enter, and Chen Pingsheng asked her, "Bai Xin, the company hasn't treated you poorly, has it?"
"The whole company knows how well you've treated me, uncle."
Bai Xin was baffled, wondering why the boss would suddenly bring up such a topic at this joyous moment.
Could he be planning to dock her pay?
There was no reason for it.
Something was fishy, and she felt she must use her brainpower to answer carefully.
"Are you happy at the company, then?"
"Absolutely happy."
She worked three days and sunbathed the nets for four; how could she not be happy?
Especially with such a high salary.
"Then why don't I feel your happiness?"
Golden Finger's Physique Accumulation Points were earned by enhancing employee happiness, but she didn't seem to radiate any happiness.
Was she planning to rebel against me, her boss?
Bai Xin was bewildered. How was she supposed to show her happiness?
Then, inspired, she started to dance.
"Happy Yangyang, Fei Yangyang, every day is a lovely sheep, I'm happy, you're happy, even the neighbor Old Wang is jealous."
Bai Xin exaggeratedly started doing the crab dance, swaying left and right.
The boss wanted to see her happy; she had to emphasize her sense of happiness.
"What are you doing?"
Chen Pingsheng was confused.
Bai Xin: "Uncle, I'm trying hard to show how happy I am."
"Give it a rest."
She wasn't embarrassed, but Chen Pingsheng himself was cringeing so hard he could scratch out a three-bedroom and one-living room apartment.
"Send a message in the company group: Tengying Entertainment to have half a month's holiday for National Day. Additionally, everyone gets a cash bonus of 100,000. Nobody's allowed to leave work until it's all handed out."
He still decided to stimulate employee happiness in the most straightforward way possible.
People work for money, don't they?
What could be happier than receiving a hefty bonus?
Bai Xin was perplexed: "Uncle, isn't National Day usually just seven days off? Why are we taking half a month this time?"
"Can't I do what I want?"
Chen Pingsheng waved her off to get to work: "Anyway, there's not much going on, so take a few extra days off to enjoy yourselves."
"Thank you, boss."
Bai Xin marched out with a perfect little military posture and closed the door behind her.
Then she shouted at the top of her lungs:
"Dear brothers and sisters, latest news from the CEO office: half a month's holiday for National Day, plus, finance department, hurry and get 15 million, no one can leave work until this money is distributed."
[Ding, received Happiness Points +1 from employee Lin Jia]
[Ding, received Happiness Points +1 from employee Jiang Peiyao]
[Ding, received Happiness Points +1 from employee Jiang Yilei]
A whole string of them below.
The finance department retrieved the money and even had the logistics department of the group act as bodyguards.
15 million laid out at the door was truly a magnificent sight.
Jiang Yilei even had everyone from the artist training class come out to take short videos.
Standing behind the 15 million, they all chanted in unison.
"Tengying's 15 days off for National Day, thanks to our boss for the 100,000 red envelopes for each employee, time to collect money!"
More festive than the New Year.
The finance department handed out money at the front, while everyone else queued at the back.
This time, even those from the artist training class were included.
Once Jiang Yilei posted the video online, there was another uproar.
"What's going on, why are they always receiving bonuses?"
"Is this company the kind that works 23 hours a day? How else could they afford such high bonuses without overworking the employees to death?"
"Brother, you might have misunderstood, our company is next to theirs. If we turn off the lights before ten, the boss calls to ask why we're not working overtime. Next door, if you stay past five o'clock and one minute, the company's gate is already shuttered."
"Jealous to the point of turning violet."
"Is it that outrageous?"
"Outrageous, nothing! Half of their employees spend time practicing yoga, the other half are on the treadmill."
"Eight hours at work: six spent slacking and two eating, the rest just waiting for paychecks."
"You can do that?"
"Yeah, who wouldn't when you have a good boss like that, working when there's work and playing when there's not, the boss never bothers them."
"Another 'good boss next door' situation."
"Why can't I find such an awesome chill company to work for?"
"Don't be envious, envy gets you nowhere. I'm a Qingbei PhD graduate and they rejected me because my qualifications were 'too high'... can you believe that?"
"Tsk... my cousin graduated from a 985 university, pretty and all, thought she'd find a job to get by at first. But after starting to work there as a 'glorious' window cleaner, she refused to leave."
"Bullshit, who with a 985 degree goes to clean windows?"
"Bullshit what? Not mentioning her salary, the boss randomly gave everyone 50,000 when his daughter was born; another weird 50,000 when 'Hua Qiangu' wrapped up and now freaking another 100,000 because it's sold. Count that up, see how much that is."
"According to them, the boss throws money around when he's happy, just throws it around."
"In less than half a year, my cousin has already received 200,000 in bonuses."
"That doesn't even include her own salary or the year-end bonus. Which one of your 985 graduates got a 200,000 bonus in half a year? Name someone so I can see."
"..."
"..."
Completely convinced.
I've never encountered such an airheaded boss who just flings money around so frivolously.
The internet was abuzz.
And Chen Pingsheng stayed out of it.
In less than an hour, his Physique Accumulation Points rose to 130.
Making employees earn more money is indeed the most down-to-earth and unadorned way to enhance their sense of happiness.
Everything else is nonsense.
But what's the deal, Golden Finger unexpectedly didn't have the option of reducing Physique Accumulation Points to rejuvenate my physique.
Could it be because 130 points is still too few?
The further forward, the higher the needed Physique Points?
Chen Pingsheng felt it was very likely.
There were still too few Tengying employees, so he couldn't keep getting points from them.
He stroked his chin, it seems he still needs to find a way at Water Cloud Space.
After Tengying finished distributing money, they formally started their holiday, with each employee as happy as lambs.
Nothing is happier than receiving a bonus.
Not to mention that this time it was a neat little hundred thousand.
Everyone is on holiday, and Jiang Peiyao had nowhere to go, so Chen Pingsheng planned to have her come over to his house for dinner.
She also received a hundred thousand yuan, currently tucked away tightly in her bag.
She was also planning to find an opportunity to send it back home.
What a kind little cousin she is.
There's no rush to come home first, especially after making a good sum of money.
I must treat myself to a nice car as a reward.
There's every kind of car at home, the only one possibly missing is a Rolls-Royce.
This kind of car is generally not for driving, but for sitting in.
As a super VIP at the luxury car center, the highest level of hospitality is a must whenever he comes by.
Almost to the point of clearing the place out.
"Mr. Chen, this 6.7L Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe is very suitable for you," said the female salesperson enthusiastically. She couldn't afford to be any less; he was the highest-end customer in the entire center.
It's not an exaggeration to say that buying luxury cars for him is like buying groceries.
"Not bad," said Chen Pingsheng, as he tapped on the blue Phantom, its angel emblem and double doors exuding an impressive presence.
Plus, it's a convertible – his wife will definitely love it.
"What do you think, Peiyao? Do you like this car?"
Jiang Peiyao was stunned on the spot. A car worth 9.8 million upon arrival – it was not her place to say whether she liked it or not.
"Brother-in-law, I like, I like it," she stammered.
Chen Pingsheng chuckled, "Good to hear you like it. Your cousin should like it too. Have this one sent to my house for my wife to drive. I'll keep looking for one more suited for me."
The saleswoman was thrilled. She loved dealing with such tycoons.
Without a word, they're ready to give their wives luxury cars.
Speaking of which, being his wife is truly fortunate.
Chen Pingsheng glanced around some more. The most expensive among the four-door Phantoms was the extended wheelbase EWB version.
Landing at around nine million.
He didn't take a fancy to it right away, mainly because it felt too similar to the Maybach S680 at home.
After considering for no more than five seconds, he decisively went for the 6.7L two-door white Phantom coupe next to it.
His wife would drive the convertible, and he'd drive the hardtop.
That's a real man for you.
The price wasn't too bad, just about eight and a half million, plus a few added options.
Most low-slung sports cars aren't very comfortable to drive, but a Rolls-Royce would never give you that feeling.
It truly brings comfort to the ultimate level.
Chen Pingsheng was quite fond of this car.
He ordered the car center folks to deliver it directly to his home.
Spending less than twenty million to make himself happy isn't too bad.
Tomorrow, he was planning to check out the big Siheyuan near the second ring of the Capital City.
...
Back at home.
His wife Song Yanxi was still cooking in the kitchen.
No matter how much the family earns, two basic principles can't be changed.
One is not employing a maid; the other is that the wife must come home to cook every day.
If he doesn't have anything special going on, he also must come home for dinner.
Sitting around a table for a bountiful dinner, the family enjoys a very heartwarming and joyous atmosphere.
Chen Pingsheng arrived home first, and the two grand Rolls-Royce vehicles followed soon after.
One a blue convertible with a soft top, and the other a white coupe with a hard top.
The two parked together looked unbelievably exciting.
Chen An'an immediately ran out to see them, and she liked both of these big toys.
Her dad's Black King Kong was clearly not up to par.
Her classmates couldn't even recognize it – what's the point of being expensive if it isn't useful?
It wasn't at all conducive to showing off happily.
Unlike these, every person in the Capital knew they were Rolls-Royces.
"Dad, how come you bought cars again?"
"You also bought another pair of ripped jeans, so why wouldn't I buy two cars? That's perfectly normal," Chen Pingsheng said as he directed them to park in front of his house, handing out keys and a little red packet of five hundred yuan to each person.
"Quick, call your mother out to see, which one will she choose?"
"I pick this one," said Chen An'an, pointing to the blue convertible. She was already starting to imagine.
One early morning.
As kids were entering school, her mother would open the flamboyant and breezy soft top.
A gust of wind would blow, sending her slightly curly black hair fluttering in the wind.
Oh mom.
Just as she was fantasizing about the wonderful scene, her father had already slapped her with a large backhand.
"You're choosing nothing. Tomorrow I'm taking you to ride the bus."
Chen Pingsheng chased off the spoiled brat in his house, and all the while, Jiang Peiyao thought Chen An'an was super cute.
It was probably this character, a little special and different from the rest.
She really liked doing some quirky things.
