Stronger by Paying Salaries and I Have 1 Billion Employees

Parenting experience?

Chen Guobin scratched his head. ’I don’t have any of that!’ he thought.

His parenting philosophy for Chen Yansen had always been ”free-range with a few kicks for good measure.” If he didn’t listen, he’d get a boot.

If he said that out loud, wouldn’t he become a laughingstock?

At this thought, Lao Chen’s face burned, and for the first time, he felt a twinge of regret. ’I really shouldn’t have kicked my son so much.’

So he quickly waved his hands and said, ”Teacher Zhang, we’ve known each other for a while. To be honest with you, ever since Chen Yansen started high school, I haven’t even asked about his homework.”

”That’s not a problem. We’ve already written the speech for you.”

Zhang Li said with a gentle smile, handing him a draft of the speech.

The school didn’t really want Chen Guobin to share any damn parenting advice. They were clearly after his status as the ”father of the founder of Senlian Capital, the dad of a fifty-billion-yuan tycoon.”

Chen Guobin took the script and read it over carefully. The content was logical and clear, striking a balance between sincerity and approachability.

But the Chen Yansen described in the speech—respectful of teachers and elders, a friend to all his classmates, studying until ten-thirty every night—did that have anything to do with his own son?

Lao Chen let out a dry laugh. He wasn’t thick-skinned enough; he really wasn’t used to telling such blatant lies.

...

...

”I have always believed that the prerequisite for education is respect. Ever since Chen Yansen was a child, I have always communicated with him as a friend.

Furthermore, cultivating effective study methods is far more important than blindly chasing grades. During his final push in his senior year of high school, Chen Yansen would study late into the night until ten-thirty...”

In an office on the top floor of the Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park, Chen Yansen watched the video of Lao Chen’s speech at his alma mater and gave a helpless smile.

’Who wrote this script?’

’It’s all fucking bullshit!’

”Boss, the Orange Technology weekly meeting is scheduled for two o’clock this afternoon in conference room A6 on the eighth floor.”

The door was ajar. Chen Jie stood at the entrance, knocked twice, and reminded him softly.

She paused before continuing, ”President Ye from the branding department has already coordinated with the production team of Lizhi TV’s ’Winning in Hua Country’. You, along with Ma Liyun of Ah Li, Liu Chengzhi of Lenovo, and Shi Yuzhu of Giant Group, will be the mentors for the first season. The first episode will be filmed on April 15th.”

”Next Tuesday, the IT Leaders Summit will be held in Shencheng City. Your plane ticket has been booked.”

”Mm, I know,” Chen Yansen nodded slightly.

”Winning in Hua Country” was an entrepreneur-focused reality show. Besides the startup mentors, the guests for the first episode included Yao Jinbo, Lei Yijun, Li Xiang, Wang Xiaofei, Mao Geping, and others.

The only difference was that Chen Yansen was serving as a mentor, while Lei Yijun and the others were playing the role of contestants.

Everyone shared the same goal: to promote their own products!

After finishing her report, Chen Jie quietly exited the office.

Chen Yansen raised his hand to check his watch. It was 11:50, just in time for lunch.

It had been a while since he’d had the cafeteria chef’s hand-pulled noodles, and he found himself missing them.

He pushed the door open, left his office, took the elevator down to the first floor, and ambled toward the cafeteria.

”Boss!”

”Brother Sen!”

The greetings never stopped along the way.

In the eyes of the average employee, Chen Yansen was an ”Immortal Boss.” With an 800-yuan monthly meal allowance and the cafeteria’s prices, three meals a day were essentially free.

What with their monthly salary, housing subsidies, transportation allowances, quarterly bonuses, and overtime pay, they were raking it in. There were cash-filled red envelopes for holidays and even a lottery on employees’ birthdays.

Many recent college graduates truly treated the company as their home!

Even full-time customer service staff had a base salary of 3,000 yuan a month. Including all the benefits, their pre-tax income easily exceeded 6,000 yuan.

Food was free, and they received a 600-yuan monthly housing subsidy.

Housing prices in the suburbs of Xucheng were only three to four thousand yuan per square meter. How expensive could the rent be?

yuan was enough to rent a studio apartment!
