Stronger by Paying Salaries and I Have 1 Billion Employees

Wang Xiaochuan instinctively glanced in Zhang Chaoyang’s direction and gave an awkward laugh. ”Brother Sen, don’t test me. I’m quite comfortable at Sogou. Charles has given me plenty of trust and a good package.”

”You’re thirty-five, not young anymore. It’s a shame to stay at Sogou. Old Zhang is a good big brother and a good boss, but he can’t give you a bigger stage,” Chen Yansen said unhurriedly.

”Contentment brings happiness, right? Let’s not talk about this. Brother Sen, let me toast you! The recommendation engine technology in Lingxi Browser and Lingxi Search is amazing. What kind of algorithmic logic does it use?” Wang Xiaochuan smiled and quickly changed the subject.

With his boss right there, Chen Yansen’s invitation made him feel a bit like he was having an affair.

When Zhang Chaoyang finished his song, sparse applause echoed through the private room.

”Old Zhang!”

Chen Yansen beckoned to him.

Zhang Chaoyang walked over, beaming, plopped down into a seat, took a sip of alcohol, and then asked, ”What’s up?”

”Not bad,” Chen Yansen replied.

”Of course. I’ve practiced,” Zhang Chaoyang said proudly.

”It’s getting late. I’m heading back to the hotel,” Chen Yansen continued.

”It’s only nine-thirty. What’s your hurry?” Zhang Chaoyang glanced at his watch, suddenly displeased.

”I have an interview tomorrow,” Chen Yansen lied casually.

”Don’t try to fool me. The interview taping is in the afternoon. Are you bored with just drinking? I think so too. How about we take my private jet to Australia Island and have some fun?” Zhang Chaoyang said enthusiastically.

”Forget it. By the time we go and come back, it’ll be morning. I brought you a few cases of wine. I had my driver store them at the bar for you. Take your time drinking them,” Chen Yansen said.

”What about sea fishing, then? It’s the perfect time for it.” Zhang Chaoyang was in high spirits for fun. Seeing that Chen Yansen wasn’t interested in gambling, he changed his tack.

Nighttime is when the big fish are active, especially large sea fish. They’re most likely to bite then.

”Alright,” Chen Yansen said helplessly. Just as he had told Song Yuncheng, Zhang Chaoyang was something of a friend to him, and he couldn’t just turn him down again and again.

”Change of plans! How about we go sea fishing?” Zhang Chaoyang turned to persuade the other four.

Ten minutes later, the group filed out, took a car to the airport, flew to Jinmen, and then took a boat out to sea.

In less than an hour, the group had traveled from the bustling center of Yanjing City to Bohai Bay.

Chen Yansen picked up a lure rod and taught Song Yuncheng how to fish for sea bass and sea bream.

It didn’t matter if the fish underwater weren’t biting. With his Spiritual Power, any fish that swam past him would have to obediently bite the hook.

Zhang Chaoyang watched as Chen Yansen, with his arm around the girl, pulled in fish one after another. He had wanted to show off his sea fishing skills, but now he was just dumbfounded.

Lei Yijun, Liu Qiangdong, Ding Lei, and Wang Xiaochuan had all been sea fishing before, but they had never seen fish being caught at such a speed.

Chen Yansen and Song Yuncheng didn’t get back to the hotel until three in the morning.

Song Yuncheng flopped onto the bed, her eyelids heavy with sleep.

”Go take a shower first,” Chen Yansen said, shaking her head gently.

”I can’t... I’m too sleepy,” Song Yuncheng mumbled drowsily.

But Chen Yansen wasn’t one to spoil her. In a flash, he had peeled the eggshell clean and carried her into the bathroom.

A short while later, the sound of splashing echoed through the empty luxury suite.

「The next day at dawn, the sky was gray and dim.」

Chen Yansen picked up the phone from his bedside table and saw that he had only slept for an hour and a half. His sleep duration had shortened again.

Song Yuncheng had been thoroughly worn out and was lying limply on the bed.

He lifted a corner of the blanket, slipped on his slippers, walked out of the bedroom, and went straight to the desk to sit down.

He opened his computer and logged into the data backend.

Orange Pay’s daily active users had soared to 39 million!

The cumulative number of users who had collected all five ”Fu” cards reached 1,941, with each person set to receive an average of 43,000 Hua Yuan.

The price of the ”Dedication Fu” card had been dropping steadily, falling from 6,000 yuan to 2,700 yuan each.

Thanks to this event, the daily active user data for products like OFO bikes, Pinbei, Kuai Pao, and Toutiao all showed significant growth.
