Chapter 271: Suggesting Overtime? Don't Want Social Security? Meeting the Shancheng Partners!

"Let her manage her own account properly!"

Jiang Ling's account had now become a semi-official account for Spark Media.

She frequently shared the daily life of Spark Media on short video platforms, which was essentially continuous promotion for the company.

In the past few days, she had even attracted several influencers with established fan bases to join the company.

"She understands!" Yu Siying smiled. "She treasures it immensely; sometimes she even asks the operations team for advice before giving a simple 'like' to a post."

Su Yang nodded approvingly. "Good!"

Being an influencer required this kind of cautious attitude; only then could one last long in the industry!

"And how is Guo Aiai performing?"

"Extremely hardworking and serious!" Yu Siying thought for a moment before saying, "The instructors have a high opinion of her. They think she's very gifted in social interactions—a natural for the female streamer life. She wouldn't do poorly in any industry."

After chatting with Yu Siying, Su Yang returned to his office to review Spark Media's detailed performance for September.

In September, nine signed influencers had broken the million-follower mark, which was a decent achievement!

Spark Media's advertising revenue had also seen a significant increase.

The growth mainly came from new brand partners who had recently collaborated with Spark Media; those trending searches hadn't gone to waste!

Returning to the head office and seeing his beautiful young secretary, Su Yang teased, "Xiao Jiang, your complexion looks much better lately!"

"I've been actively exercising recently!"

Under Su Yang's influence, Jiang Yuzhen had gradually grown to like fitness.

In fact, a portion of the company's employees had already become loyal customers of Spark Fitness.

However, since Su Yang always went to the gym during work hours, it was difficult for him to run into them!

"Good!"

Su Yang gave Jiang Yuzhen a word of praise.

Sitting in his office, Su Yang had Jiang Yuzhen call for the CFO, Guo Xueqin. He discussed withdrawing 20 million yuan from Spark Media's funds, and Guo Xueqin took the task naturally.

Thinking about how his personal funds were a bit tight, Su Yang simply started his inspection mode again!

Over the following period, he first went to the Jiuxiang Food factory for an inspection, cheering on the frontline workers, including the increasing number of disabled employees!

Whether facing ordinary employees or these disabled ones,

Su Yang naturally behaved quite warmly and treated them all equally!

Physical disabilities weren't important; a disabled mindset was what was truly terrifying.

As long as they were willing to work hard, they were Su Yang's good employees!

In this regard, Su Yang had inherited the fine traditions of a capitalist!

However, he paid higher wages and was more prompt with payments!

He was also willing to use work efficiency as the standard, giving disabled employees relatively equal treatment.

During this time, Su Yang would also ask for their opinions on the company and the factory.

Some workers were quite slick, saying nothing but good things.

Others were more honest and spoke some truths.

Tan Yanghong stood by, having his secretary take some notes, though he was overall quite relaxed.

He knew Su Yang's personality; as long as he did his best, Su Yang wouldn't be too harsh on him.

Also, what kind of suggestions were these workers making?

Suggesting overtime?!!!

Tan Yanghong thought to himself that if overtime were allowed, he would have long ago turned them into spinning tops!

Of course, he knew the workers making these suggestions didn't love overtime that much.

They just wanted to earn more money; they didn't care about being tired!

And... not wanting social security, wanting the company to just give them the cash directly?

Tan Yanghong found it hard to keep a straight face!

After a round at Jiuxiang Food, Su Yang found that he had actually gained nearly 700,000 in cash!

It was mainly contributed by those disabled employees.

They really were quite easy to win over!

As for the employees' suggestions, anything reasonable could be corrected... but wanting overtime and not wanting social security required further consideration.

Next, he went to Fengyuan Ingredients and Baihai Ingredients to express his appreciation to the employees.

The employees at Baihai Ingredients had received a 1,000 yuan raise from Su Yang, so they were quite welcoming of his arrival.

Su Yang visited them because their loyalty was easy to increase, making it easy to earn system rewards, and he usually neglected them.

Then he also did a spot check on a few Shancheng Jiuxiang Hotpot Restaurants... After a full round, Su Yang had gained about two million in cash, which felt pretty good!

In Shancheng, inside a conference room rented by the Jiuxiang Catering office, a group of locals began to whisper.

"I heard the boss of Jufan Holdings is still very young?"

"He probably has some kind of background!"

"But he must be very capable. I heard Jiuxiang Hotpot has become the dominant force in Rongcheng, and it's not bad at all here in Shancheng... Spark Fitness is also good!"

"You've been to Spark Fitness?"

"Yeah!"

"How was it?"

"The service attitude is excellent, the workout is pleasant, and the nutritional meals are delicious... My sleep quality has even improved lately!"

"I'll have to go check it out when I have time!"

"Let's go together!"

"..."

Xu Zhu was also chatting with a girl.

This girl was named Chen Huihui. She looked plain and a bit chubby, not standing out in a crowd at all, but she had a powerful uncle!

Chen Huihui had graduated with a bachelor's degree and wanted to start her own business after graduation.

She didn't have much capital and was wavering between catering, milk tea, and a LARP script-killing shop.

In her hesitation, she went to ask her uncle, who told her to investigate the Jiuxiang Hotpot Restaurants that had recently become popular in Shancheng!

After her investigation, Chen Huihui was full of praise for the taste and service of Jiuxiang Hotpot.

However, upon inquiring with Jiuxiang Catering, she learned that Jiuxiang Hotpot did not open franchise stores!

So, she told her uncle about this.

Her uncle directly called Guo Fang to ask if an exception could be made, saying they could follow the rules.

He mainly wanted to find something for his niece to do.

Thus, Chen Huihui obtained the qualification to join as a partner for a Jiuxiang Hotpot direct-managed store.

As for this partnership model, Chen Huihui's uncle felt it was quite good.

After all, he didn't have high hopes for his niece's abilities, as she had just graduated from university...

If Jiuxiang Catering could provide management and technical support, his niece would be set.

Making a bit less profit was fine!

The main thing was to accumulate experience and learn from an excellent large company!

In the conference room, Chen Huihui said with a small smile, "I heard from my uncle that the big boss of Jiuxiang Catering is a handsome young guy!"

"Really?"

Xu Zhu really didn't know much about this.

"Of course it's true. My uncle said he's handsome, so he must be very handsome!" Chen Huihui laughed. "If a woman says someone is handsome, she might just be fangirling, but if even men say he's handsome, then there's a high probability he's truly handsome."

"Makes sense!"

Xu Zhu nodded in agreement.

Like one of her female friends who chased celebrities and praised her idol to the heavens every day.

She even spent over a million to help boost his data, but when Xu Zhu saw a photo... he was just mediocre!

When she said so, her friend claimed he was an 'atmosphere-vibe god'!

Vibe my foot, did she think Xu Zhu was blind!

Just then, a file of Jiuxiang Catering employees entered.

Finally, a tall and handsome young man, looking like he stepped out of a manga, walked into the office with Guo Fang.

Guo Fang very respectfully pulled out the head chair for the handsome man...

The young man smiled and nodded to Guo Fang, then naturally sat in the head seat.

Only then did Guo Fang sit in the seat next to him.

Everyone knew that this must be the big boss behind the scenes of Jiuxiang Catering.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Guo Fang to be so respectful.

After all, Guo Fang was quite tough in front of them!
