137: This is the life others dream of.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, the smile in his eyes unyielding as he continued, "Secondly, regarding the annual meeting's lucky draw segment, while the prizes themselves aren't problematic, I feel they're a bit too singular. We could use them as a base to create some more interesting prizes."

He paused, then added, "For example, offer a paid leave of six months to a year, or a family trip fully reimbursed by the Group, or even a global tour arranged by the Group. Setting up some highly entertaining prizes and awards would also give employees who don't win the grand prize something to look forward to."

Xu Jinzhong's eyes lit up as he listened, rapidly recording what Jiang Chen said, while his mind already began to scheme how to set up the fun prizes.

"I understand, Chairman Jiang. Please rest assured, I will immediately revise the plan according to your instructions."

Jiang Chen closed the plan and handed it back to Xu Jinzhong: "Very good. After you've revised it, let me review it again. The annual meeting is a major event for the Group, and it must be spectacular and brilliant."

"Yes! I guarantee I will complete the task!"

Xu Jinzhong took the plan and immediately declared, his tone filled with drive.

He could feel Jiang Chen's Pay attention to of this annual meeting. Since Jiang Chen entrusted him with this task, it meant Jiang Chen had high expectations for him. This was both a challenge and an opportunity for him to further demonstrate his abilities.

Watching Xu Jinzhong leave the office with great enthusiasm, Jiang Chen walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, standing in the Galaxy Center Building, overlooking the bustling CBD below and the endless landscape of Shenzhen.

"When others get a system, they indulge in extravagance, but why is it that when I get a system, I'm either working or on my way to work?"

Jiang Chen took out a cigarette and lit it, exhaling a puff of smoke, a self-deprecating smile on his face.

This period of high-intensity work had brought him a long-lost fatigue, making him feel somewhat drained, much like the grueling days he spent striving for a living before he got the system.

But now, it was different.

Jiang Chen took a deep drag on his cigarette, then extinguished it in a crystal ashtray nearby.

Before, it was for survival, for performance, for completing tasks assigned by his superiors. Now, a single decision of his dictated the movement of tens of billions of funds. All his current hard work was adding bricks and tiles to his commercial empire.

That sense of control, that feeling of satisfaction watching his plans gradually become reality, had already overshadowed the physical fatigue.

Jiang Chen pinched his brow, the weariness in his eyes fading, replaced by an unmasked ambition that began to spread in his gaze.

"Be content, Jiang Chen."

He looked out at Shenzhen, murmuring, "After all, this is the life others only dream of..."

At this moment, the setting sun's afterglow spilled over the land, casting an orange filter over this city of steel, and it also fell upon Jiang Chen.

The sunlight outlined his tall figure, casting a long shadow on the floor behind him.

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, letting the warm sunlight fall on his face, dispelling the last trace of fatigue from his brow.

The self-deprecating smile on his face had vanished, replaced by a calm and contented expression.

At this moment, he was no longer a passive worker driven by system rewards, but a helmsman standing before his life's blueprint, calmly planning his future.

He intended to use the power of the system to write his own commercial empire... Currently, everything was proceeding according to plan. Xu Minghao was handling Galaxy Energy, Chen Yang was in charge of the New Energy Electric Vehicle Business Unit, and Ji Jun was personally overseeing the Super Battery Factory, so he temporarily didn't need to do anything there.

The only thing he needed to prepare for was the Group meeting scheduled for the day after tomorrow. At that time, he would listen to reports from the executives and announce the Group's new strategy.

Jiang Chen composed himself. Since there was nothing pressing now, he was ready to leave work, even planning to take a day off tomorrow.

He called Zhu Zhe, had her prepare the vehicle, then picked up his hanging suit and pushed open the office door, heading towards the elevator bank.

Along the way, the Group's employees respectfully greeted Jiang Chen, and he responded with a smiling nod.

Leaving the Group building, he arrived in front of the Pullman. After Li Zha opened the car door for him, he got in.

After the car door closed and Li Zha got into the passenger seat, the convoy departed from the Galaxy Center Building, heading towards Half-Mountain Villa Number One.

The convoy drove on the expressway. As they were about to pass Overseas Chinese Town, Jiang Chen couldn't help but think of Xiao Jiayuan. He checked the time; it was only six o'clock. Seeing that it was still early, he decided to go see Xiao Jiayuan.

"Li Zha, turn around and go to Foggy Field Coffee Shop."

Since receiving the Ping An Finance Center as a reward from Xiao Jiayuan, Jiang Chen hadn't had time to see Xiao Jiayuan. Sometimes, he didn't even have time to reply to her messages.

"Yes, Chairman Jiang."

Li Zha turned to reply, then pressed his earpiece, directing the convoy towards Xiao Jiayuan's coffee shop.

Jiang Chen smiled and sent a message to Xiao Jiayuan, telling her he was on his way.

On the other side, Xiao Jiayuan was chatting and laughing with three fashionably dressed young women, sitting at an outdoor table at the coffee shop.

All four of them were beautiful women with excellent image and temperament. Sitting together, they were like a moving scenic view, causing passersby to slow down and secretly glance at them. Some male customers in the coffee shop also frequently turned their heads.

It wasn't that no one wanted to approach them, but because the four women were simply too stunning, no one ultimately had the courage to step forward.

The four women were accustomed to such gazes and continued their conversation, occasionally letting out bell-like laughter.

These three young and beautiful women were Xiao Jiayuan's new friends whom she had recently made. Their family backgrounds were all quite good, belonging to the 'minor rich' category.

They would often meet up for beauty treatments, shopping, and now, having just finished shopping, they came to Xiao Jiayuan's coffee shop for a short break.

Beep beep ~ beep —

At this moment, Xiao Jiayuan's phone rang with a special ringtone.

Hearing this ringtone, Xiao Jiayuan was momentarily stunned, because this was her custom message alert, specifically set for Jiang Chen. It would alert her whenever Jiang Chen sent her a message. She set this kind of Feixin alert every morning when she woke up during this period.

After her momentary daze, Xiao Jiayuan knew that Jiang Chen had sent her a message, and her face immediately lit up with joy. She quickly picked up her phone to read the message.

Jiang Chen: I'll be at the coffee shop soon.

Seeing this message, Xiao Jiayuan immediately couldn't sit still. She stood up directly, even knocking over her chair.

The three women she was chatting with looked at this scene, a bit confused.

"Jiayuan, what's wrong?"

"My husband is here."

After dropping that sentence, Xiao Jiayuan rushed out of the coffee shop towards the roadside without stopping. She wanted to see Jiang Chen at the first possible moment.

The three beautiful women exchanged glances. Having known Xiao Jiayuan for about a month, they had heard her mention her boyfriend many times, describing him in flowery language, as if he were the most wonderful man in the world.

Despite this, the three of them had never actually met the boyfriend Xiao Jiayuan spoke of, and now they couldn't help but feel a little curious.
