121: Chapter 121 The Spring Festival Gala uses our mobile phones

"I'm here to tell everyone,"

"starting from today,"

Huayao's holiday pay will be increased to ten times the normal daily rate!"

"Thank you all for your contributions to Huayao!"

As Bai Jingqing's words fell,

everyone present was stunned for a moment.

After the realization hit them,

one by one, they couldn't help but clap and cheer.

Ten times the salary!

Huayao's benefits were just too good!

Just now, when they heard Bai Jingqing saying some empty pleasantries,

their applause was purely out of politeness.

But now, their applause and cheers were completely heartfelt!

Bai Jingqing gestured for everyone to be quiet,

then continued, "I called everyone here today,"

"because I wanted to have a New Year's Eve dinner with you all."

"I know most of you have basically already eaten by this time,"

"and I wanted to prepare earlier,"

"but I was indeed delayed by some matters."

"Of course, even if you've already eaten,"

"we can still wrap dumplings and chat together,"

"and watch the Spring Festival Gala while we're at it."

"Those with culinary skills can even show off a bit,"

"I've tried my best to prepare all kinds of ingredients for everyone!"

"There's no need to be too nervous,"

"it's mainly because I see how hard you've all been working,"

"and I wanted to have a heart-to-heart with you."

"Today is New Year's Eve, after all,"

"everyone can put work out of their minds today,"

"just treat Huayao as your own home,"

"the colleagues beside you are our family,"

"how about we wrap dumplings together?"

As Bai Jingqing explained his intention,

the employees cheered once more.

They didn't have to work today,

and they could even get ten times the pay;

the employees were grinning from ear to ear.

No sooner said than done,

Bai Jingqing directed everyone to bring out the supplies bought during the day,

including many dumpling wrappers and fillings,

as well as various other foods.

Over a hundred people set up tables in the lobby of the Administration Building,

and began to tidy up,

busy while laughing and chatting,

instantly making the once quiet environment lively.

As Bai Jingqing joined in the work,

a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

To him,

the company was indeed his only home now,

and it finally felt a bit like the New Year.

The security guards outside had long noticed the movement inside.

Initially, the two of them figured they had just been caught by Little Boss Bai playing with their phones during work hours,

and were terrified of being caught again.

So now, the two of them stood bolt upright,

eyes fixed forward,

like soldiers on serious duty.

But hearing the noise coming from inside the building,

they finally couldn't hold back their curiosity,

and craned their necks to look.

"What are they doing?"

"It looks like they're going to wrap dumplings!"

"Little Boss Bai really is planning to spend the New Year at the company!"

"Hey, you two!"

Just as the two security guards were wondering,

they suddenly heard a loud shout.

They instinctively pulled back their necks,

and stood bolt upright again.

Bai Jingqing shook his head with a wry smile,

and walked out to stand in front of them.

"You two should go in as well,"

"see if you can help out."

The two guards were overjoyed to hear this,

but were still a bit uncertain,

until they saw Bai Jingqing nod again.

Only then did they scurry off happily.

Besides the guards of this Administration Building,

he also arranged for people to notify the guards of the other buildings.

In addition, he brought over the company's projectors,

set up a screen on the side wall,

and started broadcasting the Spring Festival Gala.

A group of people chatted while working,

truly like a family,

albeit a large family of over a hundred people.

Bai Jingqing also helped wrap dumplings,

while chatting with the people around him.

At first, these people were still a bit stiff,

feeling unable to relax in front of the boss.

After realizing that Bai Jingqing was a very approachable person,

their mouths became like opened floodgates.

Especially a few older ladies,

who spilled all the gossip about their relatives and neighbors.

Some even wanted to introduce a girlfriend to Bai Jingqing,

but were politely declined by him.

Once the dumplings were mostly wrapped,

the water nearby had already come to a boil.

One by one, the dumplings were dropped into the water,

and soon they were served on the tables.

Bai Jingqing hadn't eaten dinner yet,

so he quickly served himself a bowl and started eating.

Although most of the other employees had already eaten,

with this atmosphere, a few side dishes and a little wine,

most people wouldn't refuse.

After eating a bowl of dumplings,

Bai Jingqing wasn't as hungry anymore.

He suddenly remembered someone,

so he stepped out of the building specifically to make a phone call.

"Yi Ming, have you eaten yet?"

"I know, things are going very smoothly at the Spring Festival Gala,"

"I've seen it."

"You don't need to be too nervous,"

"there shouldn't be any mistakes."

"Right, if you haven't eaten, come over to the company to have some,"

"there are many employees here too,"

"everyone wrapped dumplings together."

...

While Bai Jingqing was on the phone,

the group of people was full of praise for him.

"I'd heard before that Little Boss Bai was a very good person,"

"and seeing him today, it's really true!"

"He's a really good man,"

"a boss of such a large company,"

"without any air of superiority at all."

"Seeing that I was dressed so thinly,"

"he even asked if I was cold."

"The key is that he's also handsome,"

"my daughter says she likes him a lot,"

"but my daughter isn't good enough for him!"

"She wouldn't catch Little Boss Bai's eye."

"Actually, Little Boss Bai is quite pitiful too,"

"both his parents have passed away,"

"it's probably because he has no other choice that he's spending this New Year's Eve with us."

"What a shame for this child,"

"no matter how much money he has,"

"on a big holiday like the New Year, he doesn't even have anyone he can talk to from the heart."

"Shh, let's not talk about this,"

"Little Boss Bai is coming back,"

"it's the New Year, let's talk about something happy!"

...

While things were harmonious over here,

Xue Haixin was already at home.

A group of people was gathered, drinking and bragging.

As a director of a large company,

he was naturally a "dragon among men" in the eyes of others.

Many people flattered him one after another,

and combined with a bit of wine,

Xue Haixin was now feeling a bit light-headed.

"Xiao Xue, our Zihan is going to university next year,"

"and told me they want to change their phone."

"You're in the mobile phone business,"

"do you have any recommendations?"

At this time, a middle-aged woman leaned in and asked.

Strictly speaking, this woman was Xue Haixin's elder,

so he didn't dare to be negligent: "Oh,"

"changing phones? Just tell me,"

wouldn't it be fine if I just gave him one?"

"But he's only going to university next year,"

"so won't the first half of next year be for preparing for the Gaokao?"

"Then you can't give him a new phone yet,"

"he still needs to focus on his studies first!"

The middle-aged woman nodded: "I know that, of course,"

"I'm just asking first,"

"after all, you know the industry well,"

"and we don't get many chances to see you,"

"I just wanted to ask if you have any recommended phones."

Xue Haixin nodded,

rubbed his chin and said, "If you want my recommendation,"

"I'd recommend the Ideal A9 to him."

"The A-series used to be Ideal's top flagship,"

"now the positioning of this phone is different,"

"the performance is sufficient, and the price isn't expensive,"

"it's very prestigious to hold in your hand."

"Like for the skits and such on the Spring Festival Gala,"

they all use our Ideal A9 phones."

At this time, the large TV in front of the room was playing the Spring Festival Gala.

It happened to be time for a skit to be performed,

and an actor came out while holding a phone and making a call.

However, the shape of that phone

was undoubtedly a xiaomi 6.
