341: I'm so envious

Zhao Caiyi asked, “Do you want black tea or green tea?”

Xiang Yang replied, “Green tea.”

Zhao Caiyi skillfully poured a cup of green tea for Xiang Yang and brought it to him.

There was a small table next to the snack area, and Zhao Caiyi said, “You can have some tea and crackers here first. I’m going to deliver drinks to them, and then I’ll take you to the lounge!”

Xiang Yang quickly took the tea and said, “Please go ahead and be busy, don’t mind me!”

He took a sip, and the tea was very fragrant. It was definitely not the kind of loose-leaf tea.

Thinking of the dividends Qian Ziyong gave them, and how ridiculously expensive the office desks, chairs, and computers were, Xiang Yang knew that this tea was also a premium product he had never been able to drink before.

While drinking tea, Xiang Yang looked curiously at Zhao Caiyi, who was serving tea and water.

Zhao Caiyi was a leader, the company’s General Manager.

The General Manager was the highest position in the company besides the boss.

Outside, one could call the General Manager a CEO!

With such a high status, why was Zhao Caiyi serving tea and water?

Zhao Caiyi poured tea for him because he and Zhao Caiyi were on the same level, both General Managers.

But other employees…

Xiang Yang was a little puzzled.

Soon, Zhao Caiyi returned after delivering drinks to everyone.

“Manager Xiang, sorry to keep you waiting!” Zhao Caiyi apologized.

Xiang Yang shook his head, wanting to speak but hesitating.

Zhao Caiyi smiled and said, “Are you curious why I, a dignified General Manager, am serving tea and water to employees?”

Xiang Yang hesitated for a moment, then nodded in admission.

Zhao Caiyi smiled and said, “This was all taught by the boss!”

“I’m different from you. I started working here not long after graduating. On my first day, the boss arranged for me to be the General Manager.”

“You could say that with my computer skills, besides being good at Photoshop and knowing a bit of C language, I’m completely clueless about game development.”

“Making me the General Manager of a game company, isn’t that ridiculous?”

Xiang Yang nodded repeatedly, looking at Zhao Caiyi with eager, curious eyes.

He had also become the General Manager of Feihuang Game Company in a muddled way.

Although President Qian trusted him very much, to be honest, he had no confidence in himself at all.

He had never managed people before and suddenly became the top executive of a company. This…

He didn't expect that Zhao Caiyi had experienced the same thing as him.

In fact, he was even a little better than Zhao Caiyi.

At least he had been in society for a few years, while Zhao Caiyi became a General Manager right after graduation, without any experience in navigating society.

Xiang Yang humbly asked, “President Zhao, how did the boss teach you back then?”

“Can you teach me too?”

This was valuable management experience.

And it was management experience personally taught by President Qian.

With President Qian’s current reputation, a single class outside could easily earn him a million yuan.

Zhao Caiyi said, “There’s nothing that can’t be taught. When President Liu Gaoda asked me, I told him the truth.”

“The boss said that nothing, no matter how small, should be kept from others. So no matter what the boss said or did, he told us to tell it to the outside world.”

Xiang Yang sighed, “President Qian is truly a righteous gentleman!”

After sighing, Xiang Yang became even more curious about President Qian’s management methods.

Zhao Caiyi said, “Actually, the management method is very simple. President Qian told us not to see ourselves as General Managers, but as service staff.”

“We serve the employees, and the employees serve the customers.”

“?” Xiang Yang was stunned, “This… this…”

Zhao Caiyi said, “It’s very unbelievable, isn’t it!”

Xiang Yang nodded: “It’s very unbelievable. Leaders in other companies hold high positions and power, but how did it come to Feihuang Game…”

Zhao Caiyi said, “Actually, I didn’t understand it at first either, but I read many management books and then I realized that this is what true leadership is.”

“Hmm?” Xiang Yang was puzzled.

Zhao Caiyi said, “Some things shouldn’t be talked about too much.”

He pointed upwards and said, “Serve the people!”

Xiang Yang trembled!

Serve the people!

At this moment, Xiang Yang thought of many things, recalling the sun that rose in China a long time ago.

…

Zhao Caiyi didn’t say anything more and led Xiang Yang out of the 18th floor.

He didn’t take Xiang Yang in the elevator, smiling, “I usually don’t take the elevator, after all, it’s only two floors!”

Entering the stairwell, Xiang Yang sighed, “Jinlong International Building truly lives up to its reputation as a high-end office building in Shen City; even the stairwell is decorated!”

Zhao Caiyi shook his head: “It wasn’t decorated by Jinlong International Building. President Qian said we might frequently use the stairs, so he had this area decorated.”

“So, in the entire building, only these few floors are decorated.”

As he spoke, they reached the 16th floor.

“Come on, I’ll introduce you to our company’s entertainment and lounge area.” Zhao Caiyi led Xiang Yang inside.

Because it was working hours, there were only a few employees inside.

They were resting here, having no great inspiration.

Seeing Zhao Caiyi enter, everyone greeted him.

“President Zhao!”

Zhao Caiyi nodded: “Let me introduce you all, this is Xiang Yang, the General Manager of Feihuang Game Company!”

Everyone politely greeted Xiang Yang: “President Xiang!”

Xiang Yang humbly said, “Just call me Xiao Xiang!”

Then he felt it wasn’t quite appropriate and was a bit at a loss.

It was his first time being a General Manager, and he had no experience at all, which was truly awkward.

Fortunately, the few people didn’t say much, and Zhao Caiyi continued to introduce to Xiang Yang: “This is the chess and card room, audio-visual room, game room, exercise room, meeting room, lounge, and pet room!”

Listening to Zhao Caiyi’s introduction, Xiang Yang’s face was full of curiosity.

It was truly complete.

Everything he could think of was here.

It was even more complete than a club, although he had never been to a club, a club should only have these things, right?

Xiang Yang exclaimed, “President Qian is truly too extravagant!”

Zhao Caiyi said, “There’s more; a full two thousand square meters are dedicated to the entertainment and lounge area.”

“Even if all two hundred of us are resting and entertaining here, it won’t be crowded at all.”

Xiang Yang calculated: two hundred people, two thousand square meters, that’s ten square meters per person.

Of course, it wouldn’t be crowded!

The office building had actual usable area, with no shared common space.

While Xiang Yang was sighing, Zhao Caiyi led him into the park.

“This, this place!” Xiang Yang exclaimed.

He had seen it just now, but he thought he had misread it and that it was just a painting.

It was actually real!

There was actually a park here, an indoor park!

Zhao Caiyi said, “I like it best here, it’s close to nature.”

“Normally, during work, besides pouring drinks for the employees, I usually feed pets here or fish here.”

“If you need to find me for anything, I should be here.”

Xiang Yang looked towards the pet room, where there were cats, dogs, and alpacas.

Zhao Caiyi said, “Those are colleagues’ pets. If you have pets, you can also bring them to work.”

“I usually feed them, and other colleagues also help feed them.”

Xiang Yang nodded.

Oh right, Zhao Caiyi just said fishing.

He didn’t mishear, did he?

Zhao Caiyi continued to walk forward, passing through a patch of colorful flowers, and then reached the pond: “This is the fishing area, and that’s my fishing rod.”

Xiang Yang was startled.

There really was a fishing area.

Was this coming to work or coming for a vacation?

He was truly envious of Zhao Caiyi.
