Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

By then, having emerged from a crowd of thousands, he finally had the opportunity to meet him face-to-face.

To say I was not excited would have been a lie.

Tengying Group never engaged in any pompous fanfare, and Chen Pingsheng liked it even less.

Unlike the times when an announcer would give a lengthy introduction before praising the boss extravagantly on stage.

He didn't appreciate that kind of behavior.

He came over this time because Song Shuiqing had told him that the new interns, who had just started working, all wanted to meet the boss.

They also hoped to receive the boss's blessings.

So, he came, just as he had described himself.

He came from ordinary people, and he would ultimately return to being among ordinary people.

Except for having slightly more money, he never considered himself smarter than these college students.

After turning off all the lights in the auditorium, the screen at the front started showing Tengying Group's corporate promotional video.

It used this short clip to explain to the interns.

What exactly Tengying Group was doing and in which industries it had taken root.

From its earliest days in fruit to entertainment, Fei Yangyang Catering, Bobo Milk Tea, Antler Coffee, Tenghui Department Store, Tengsheng Fresh Produce, Tengchao Commercial Management, and more.

This was undoubtedly a super group spanning numerous industries.

The more robust the company they joined, the prouder these interns naturally felt.

After the ten-minute corporate promotional video ended, Chen Pingsheng finally started to come on stage.

The applause was enthusiastic.

He waved his hand to signal everyone to stop, saying it was not necessary.

And he shared two personal experiences on the spot.

"Once, I organized a marathon within the group. Initially, I was running quite fast but was always second. Just before the finish line, the guy in first place suddenly fell, and I, a middle-aged boss with a bad back, ended up first."

"Do you know where that guy is now?"

Zhang Wanyi and Liu Qing both thought that it was good that the guy fell. If he hadn't, how could the boss have come first?

Stealing the boss's limelight would be seeking death, wouldn't it?

Almost everyone present had the same thought.

They would have done the same in their place.

Chen Pingsheng, however, said, "I fired him because I feel that such an atmosphere is not good. He left that evening with his belongings. As a boss, I understand his behavior, but I absolutely do not approve of this ingratiating attitude."

"Another time, I was organizing a basketball match for the management to remind everyone that while working hard, they should not forget to exercise."

"I thought I was quite good at basketball, but during the game, I realized that the ball was with me most of the time. No matter how others tried to snatch it or shoot, it seemed to easily come back to me."

"Only one newcomer in the company, who filled in last minute because his department head was sick, bumped into me twice."

"Everyone thought he was doomed. I promoted him three levels up."

"Do you know where the other managers from that basketball game are now?"

"No."

Zhang Wanyi and Liu Qing shook their heads simultaneously, and the other interns did the same.

Chen Pingsheng said, "I fired them all, including two senior vice presidents of the company."

"Let me tell you something, I started by selling durians on the street. Luckily, I married a good wife. Unluckily, because I couldn't afford a house, every time I visited my wife's parent's house for a meal, my mother-in-law would mock and ridicule me. That's when I secretly vowed that one day I would make her respect me, even regret."

"When that day actually came, I realized I harbored no hatred toward her. She just hoped her daughter would lead a happier life."

"I'm sharing this not to convey a motivational story to you all, but just to tell you that I was once a street durian seller and not high-class. It was sheer luck that led the company to succeed like this."

"I never thought of myself as too outstanding, certainly no better than any of you. At least you all have diplomas from prestigious schools. Other than having a bit more money and a larger company, I have nothing."

"Under such circumstances, when a culture of ingratiating starts rising in the company, where running marathons means letting me win as the boss, or playing basketball means trying all means to let me, the boss, steal the spotlight..."

"I feel that once this culture catches on in the company, we won't be far from bankruptcy."

"Therefore, even if those two senior vice presidents who played basketball had strong abilities, even very strong, I didn't hesitate to fire them."

"Because I think when even they start to do that, the employees will only follow suit."

"Can the company still have a future?"

"Absolutely not, it will only die a gradual death."

Zhang Wanyi and Liu Qing had imagined many scenarios of the boss making an appearance, but they never expected him to be so down-to-earth.

You should know that once someone reaches his position, whatever he says is considered gold.

Yet, he unhesitatingly told them about the things he found despicable.

Without any embellishment, and certainly without adding any legendary color to himself.

He frankly told them that a boss is just an ordinary person with a bit more money.

There is no difference whatsoever.

Truth be told, this kind of boss is the most liked by everyone.

Because he doesn't put himself above others, nor does he speak in a way that you can't comprehend because of his status.

Of course.

The above two examples also frankly told them that at Tengying Group, you don't have to curry favor with anyone.

If a supervisor is not doing the right thing, you just need to file a complaint and that's it.

The group has its own independent audit team.

It doesn't report to any department, and its power is beyond imagination.

It can even investigate the boss.

Chen Pingsheng didn't talk much, but in the end, he still addressed the topics that concerned the interns the most.

"After graduating from college, it means that everyone has to start a new life, and I wish everyone here a smooth and happy life ahead."

"As a boss, the most important thing is to answer your questions about the welfare benefits provided to interns within the group. First, the salary for interns is tentatively set at eight thousand, including meals and accommodation, and after this meeting, you can all go to the logistics department to get the keys to your individual apartments."

"They will take you there."

"Moreover, thirty years ago, children relied on their parents, but thirty years later, parents will rely on their children. Graduating from college means you all can now work and earn money. It's been hard for your parents to raise you to this age—don't go back and ask them for money anymore."

"To help you smoothly transition through this embarrassing phase of just starting work and having no money, I personally will provide each of you with ten thousand cash for your upcoming living expenses, hoping everyone will successfully become regular employees in three months."
Stay tuned to empire

Boom~~

The applause thundered, and nearly everyone stood up to clap.

The applause continued for a long time because they could deeply feel the kindness from the boss in those few minutes.

He not only solved their toughest problem of accommodation.

He also directly provided them with some living expenses.

If not for this money, they would have had to ask their parents.

But after coming to Tengying, that was no longer necessary.

Because after leaving college, the corporation is their strongest support.

This is what the boss wanted to convey to them.

It took twelve people from the finance department to move fifteen million in cash to the largest meeting room inside the group.

Lining up to receive money, ten thousand per person.

The logistics department then took them to find their own rooms, single apartments within the second ring road.

Ready to move in with just a suitcase.

And everyone gets their own room, would you dare to dream of that during your internship?

Zhang Wanyi and Liu Qing were so excited they almost jumped three meters high.

What does it mean to consider the needs of employees closely? This is it.

Not only solved their problems with living expenses but also directly arranged such comfortable apartments for their accommodation.

This is beyond imagination.
