155: Chapter 155 President Qin may be using entrapment tactics during the meeting.
"Are you all happy to be here today for the Oak Company management reform meeting?"
Qin Xun stood behind the podium, looking at the smiling faces below, eyes filled with anticipation. He asked loudly.
The crowd below looked like a bunch of model students, answering in perfect unison.
"Happy!"
Qin Xun smiled.
We're all old foxes here, why are you playing games with me?
He picked up the laser pointer, circled the words "The company is my home, maintenance depends on everyone" on the projection screen, and said with a smile.
"This is a PPT I wrote when I first joined the company, back when I was still an intern."
His voice was low, carrying a sense of reminiscence.
As if he were recalling the glorious days from ten years ago.
The crowd's expressions were strange, their feelings complex.
You... you... you were an intern just half a month ago.
This company hasn't even been established for a month, okay?
Sigh... In one month, he's walked a path I couldn't finish in ten lifetimes.
...
Qin Xun looked at the colleagues below and asked with a smile.
"Do you think what I wrote is good?"
There was a silence below for a moment.
Cheng Wan shouted first.
"Good!"
Immediately after, cheers rose one after another.
"Good!"
"Good! Good!"
"President Qin wrote it well!"
"President Qin is a role model for us all!"
...
Qin Xun smiled slightly and continued.
"I remember I shouted a slogan back then: 'The Earth won't explode, so I won't take a break!', 'The company is my home, I love it every day!'."
He looked at everyone and let out a long sigh.
"I was very young then, and what I said was very naive."
He stepped out from behind the podium, faced the crowd, and slowly bent over into a 90-degree bow.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The originally quiet meeting room became even quieter, you could hear a pin drop.
The crowd looked at the top of Qin Xun's head, completely bewildered.
What's going on?
What happened?
He was wrong?
He... he must be crazy!
Cheng Wan looked at the PPT and frowned slightly.
She had reviewed this PPT, it was written very well, what was wrong with it?
Where was it wrong?
It wasn't wrong!
Xia Ning looked at the sincerely bowing Qin Xun, and thinking of what he said yesterday about "taking the whole company to slack off together," she roughly guessed what he was about to do.
She took a deep breath and frowned slightly.
Mi Xier sat in the corner, her right hand supporting her chin, her left hand playing with her hair, quietly watching Qin Xun.
She felt... working at this company must be a lot of fun!
Qin Xun bowed for a long time, but didn't see that blockhead assistant Xia Ning come over to help him up, so he had to slowly straighten up himself.
He looked at the surprised crowd and said in a deep voice.
"I apologize to everyone for the lie I told back then!"
"At the time, what I said was 'The company is my home, maintenance depends on everyone,' but what I was thinking was..."
He raised his voice and cleared his throat.
"The company is my home?"
"Fuck that!"
"This kind of stupid company, it's better if it just closes down!"
Hearing Qin Xun's words.
The thirty-plus employees of Oak Company were all dumbfounded!
This... what kind of shocking words were these?
Could it be that Qin Xun was taking advantage of President Niu's absence to dissolve the company?
Cheng Wan glanced at Xia Ning. Seeing that she had turned to stone, she felt a bit dizzy and supported her head with her hand.
It's over!
It's over!
It's over!
Mi Xier widened her eyes, staring unblinkingly at Qin Xun, feeling more and more that he was so charming!
Isn't this the charismatic, crazy villain from a romance novel?
Xia Ning looked at Qin Xun's profile, feeling her vision go dark, and felt like her hypoglycemia was about to flare up again.
He really is cursing my company to close down every day!
She ignored the occasion and her status as a small assistant, quickly walked to the table in the front, picked up a piece of chocolate, unwrapped it, and stuffed it into her mouth.
...
The whole room was silent.
No one dared to speak, no one dared to agree.
Even though these words hit home for them.
But... they were afraid that Qin Xun was conducting a sting operation.
Qin Xun looked at the crowd and began telling a story.
"When I joined my first company, my boss told me, 'You should treat the company as your home.'"
"At that time, I was poor, weak, and helpless, so I could only nod and agree."
He smiled and continued.
"Treating the company as a home, I really can't understand it."
"How could such mindless words come out of a human being's mouth?"
"The money at home, I can spend it however I want."
The crowd watched Qin Xun quietly, not daring to show any extra emotion on their faces.
But in their hearts, they were nodding frantically in agreement.
"Isn't that the truth?"
"Anyone who can say something like that definitely has a major brain problem!"
"I treat the company as my home, but the boss doesn't treat me like his family, or respect me like his father!"
"When studying, you have to treat the campus as your home; when you get out to work, you have to treat the company as your home. Isn't that sick?"
...
Cheng Wan looked at Qin Xun and sighed.
President Qin!
When you presented this PPT back then, you shouted that slogan 'The company is my home' louder than anyone!
Xia Ning looked at Qin Xun, feeling a tightness in her chest, and walked to the table in front to take another piece of chocolate to eat.
She was speechless in her heart.
Is this what Qin Xun meant by 'watch my performance'?
That's right, he doesn't know the company is mine.
Mi Xier gazed lovingly at Qin Xun, feeling a bit envious.
Only when you are capable enough can you live as authentically as he does!
No longer needing to wear a mask or please anyone!
Qin Xun smiled and continued.
"But in the end, that boss's company caught fire, he had joint liability, and he went to jail."
A commotion arose below, with some schadenfreude.
Qin Xun started telling a second story.
"Not long after, I joined the second company."
"The boss of that company asked me to work overtime again, and I weakly asked, 'Is there overtime pay?'"
"I saw disgust in his eyes."
"He actually told me, 'Young people shouldn't be calculating gains and losses in the workplace.'"
He paused, scanned the crowd, and said slowly.
"Do you think this sentence is right or wrong?"
The people below looked at each other, no one dared to speak.
This is definitely bullshit.
But from the boss's perspective, this sentence is just so typical.
Drawing a pie in the sky to trick people into unpaid effort, dedication, and burning themselves out.
Suddenly.
Cheng Wan noticed Xia Ning giving her a look.
She bit the bullet and looked at Qin Xun, saying.
"Um... President Qin."
"I think this sentence makes some sense. If you are too calculating about gains and losses in the workplace, employees won't grow very fast."
"For long-term development, I think... it is correct."
Qin Xun looked at Cheng Wan, knowing her difficulty.
As the company's administrative director, she could not allow so-called negative energy to spread in the company.
It was only because it was him; if it were anyone else saying these things, she would have called them to her office for a lecture on ideological education.
Qin Xun looked at Cheng Wan with a smile, then looked up at the crowd.
"I'm very curious."
"If an employee shouldn't be calculating gains and losses in the workplace, should they only calculate them at the crematorium?"
"Should they calculate how well-done they are being roasted?"
