Chapter 481

On New Year’s Eve, most companies have already closed for the holiday and employees have gone home early to celebrate the New Year.

The campus network company was bustling with activity, with employees and their families decorating the venue for the New Year's Eve dinner with happy faces.

In order to make it convenient for employees on duty and their families to have New Year's Eve dinner, Qin Shaoyan did not look for any high-end hotels, auditoriums or the like, but directly set the venue within the company.

All the office desks, chairs and computers were put away, leaving space for tables, chairs and benches for the banquet, and various blessing characters, Chinese knots and New Year pictures were pasted around.

Although the scene was temporary, a lot of effort was put into other details.

The chef who prepared the New Year’s Eve dinner was specially invited, and various cuisines were available, fully taking into account the tastes of the family members.

Driver Hao Dashan was leading several drivers of the company to carry alcoholic beverages when Qin Shaoyan called him over and told him, "Don't drink tonight, drivers. After the New Year's Eve dinner, you still have to send the employees' families back to the hotel."

"Don't worry, Mr. Qin." Hao Dashan replied seriously, "I'll be watching them. I'll make sure they don't drink a drop of alcohol."

"Is the car ready?" Qin Shaoyan asked again.

"Three minibuses and five vans." Hao Dashan counted on his fingers, "I guarantee they can fit."

"That's good." Qin Shaoyan nodded, then asked, "Are your parents here?"

"No." Hao Dashan was a little embarrassed. "They are spending the New Year in my newly bought house. Anyway, it's close, so there's no need to bother them."

"What are you talking about? Invite them all over here, so they don't have to cook. It will be more lively here with more people." Qin Shaoyan glared at him, "Go and invite them quickly. Do you want me to go in person?"

"Okay." Hao Dashan ran away happily.

He recently bought a house near the company, which makes it convenient for him to commute to get off work and for President Qin to visit him.

After all, he is Mr. Qin's personal driver. It would be inconvenient to summon him at night if he lives too far away.

After instructing the driver, Qin Shaoyan called his secretary Xiao Chen and asked, "Have you arranged everything for your parents?"

"It's all arranged. We're playing mahjong over there."

"Oh." Qin Shaoyan casually reminded him, "Go to the kitchen later and keep an eye on it. I don't trust their executive chef alone. Don't let them miss any dishes. Money is a small matter. The key is the worry."

"Got it." Secretary Xiao Chen immediately assured, "I'll go count them one by one later."

"And then there are the dumplings. This needs to be arranged properly. We need to see what fillings the family members like and take every aspect into consideration." Qin Shaoyan emphasized this.

"Okay, Mr. Qin, the administration department has taken care of the dumplings. I personally instructed it, so there won't be any mistakes." Secretary Xiao Chen patted his chest and assured.

After saying that, Secretary Xiao Chen turned around and went to the company's kitchen. The place originally rented here was a restaurant with a fully equipped kitchen. Later it was changed into the company's cafeteria, which was dedicated to providing working meals for employees.

At this time, the kitchen was filled with noisy voices, the sound of spatulas colliding, mixed with the aroma of dishes and fumes, and it looked like a busy scene.

The executive chef was shouting with sweat all over his forehead, and his voice sounded a little hoarse, but his face was full of joy. Today's order made more money than the whole month's order, and he kept shouting at his subordinates to work hard.

Secretary Xiao Chen called the executive chef over and said, "Bring the menu here, I'll check it again."

"Okay, don't worry. I've checked it myself and I won't let the boss down." The executive chef said as he took the menu and showed the ingredients to his secretary Xiao Chen one by one. "Four cold dishes and eight hot dishes, chicken, duck, fish, meat, and all the delicacies from the mountains and seafood are all here."

Secretary Xiao Chen was relieved at this time, "Dinner will be served at 8 o'clock in the evening. You need to prepare in advance. Have you wrapped the dumplings?"

"What dumplings?" The executive chef was stunned, his face full of confusion, "Are there any more dumplings?"

Secretary Xiao Chen was shocked at the time, "Didn't you prepare dumplings?"

"No one told me about this?" the executive chef said innocently. "The food prepared today has been checked in advance. I can say with confidence that no one told me to make dumplings."

Secretary Xiao Chen was anxious, "Didn't our administrative department tell you? We have dumplings tonight."

"No, there are several girls in your administration department, and no one has mentioned this." The executive chef also scratched his head, "Look at what a fuss this has caused."

Secretary Xiao Chen was really panicked now. The New Year's Eve dinner was something that President Qin had personally instructed, and he had finally gotten everything ready, but he ended up letting things down.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask someone." Secretary Chen quickly found the executive director and asked, "Belinda, who is in charge of the dumplings in the kitchen?"

Belinda hesitated for a moment, "It seems to be Liao Danni."

Secretary Xiao Chen's face suddenly turned dark. Liao Danni was her junior, and they were half from the same hometown. She had always regarded herself as her best friend in the company.

She never expected that this best friend would stab her in the back at this moment.

"Where is she?" Secretary Xiao Chen asked, suppressing his anger. "Why can't I see her anywhere?"

"I didn't see her either." The Executive Director also looked innocent. "She seemed to be here just now. Oh, I remember now. She said she was not feeling well and left."

"Who asked her to leave? You just let her go like this?" Secretary Chen was anxious, "The work was not explained clearly?"

The executive director rolled his eyes and said, "She said she's asked for leave for you. How dare I say no?"

Secretary Xiao Chen gritted his teeth in anger, picked up his phone and called Liao Danni as he walked out, "Dani, where are you now?"

"Oh, Sister Chen, I have a headache so I'm leaving now." Liao Danni said softly, "I asked Belinda to tell you, didn't she tell you?"

Secretary Xiao Chen suppressed his anger and said, "Why didn't you just tell me?"

"Oh, Sister Chen, I see you are too busy, so I am sorry to bother you." Liao Danni cried out, "My head hurts again."

"You haven't finished your work yet, why didn't you tell me?" Secretary Chen yelled in a low voice, "Even if you're not feeling well, you should have explained your work clearly before leaving. But you just walked away without doing anything."

"Sister Chen, why are you yelling at me? I just feel unwell and can't stand it any longer." Liao Danni felt very aggrieved. "Besides, the boss is too abusive. He doesn't even let us rest during Chinese New Year. Even Zhou Baopi is not as cruel as him. We are not selling our lives to him just for going to work."

"Shut up!" Secretary Chen exploded. "At the beginning, the boss said that overtime during the Spring Festival was voluntary and you didn't have to work overtime if you didn't want to. You signed the agreement and got the overtime bonus. Now you tell me you don't want to work overtime. What were you doing before?"

"Wow, I never thought working overtime would be so tiring, and I would have to take care of so many trivial matters." Liao Danni burst into tears on the phone.

"Okay, you still have the nerve to cry." Secretary Xiao Chen was so angry that he laughed, "Go and complete the resignation procedures when you come back after the New Year."

"Ah, Sister Chen, how could you do this?" Liao Danni panicked. "You can't fire me. We are schoolmates and fellow villagers. I am your confidant. You will make Belinda laugh at you. She has always wanted to step on you. You can't be provoked by that bitch."

"Haha." Secretary Xiao Chen was too lazy to talk nonsense and said directly, "I will personally handle the procedures for you on the eighth day of the first lunar month."

"I... I'm pregnant! You can't fire me!" Liao Danni said angrily. "..." Secretary Xiao Chen couldn't hold it in any longer, "You've only been in the company for three months and you're already pregnant? Didn't you tell me you were single?"

"Oh, I got pregnant by accident. Anyway, you can't fire me." Liao Danni kept talking, "This is illegal!"

"Get lost!" Secretary Xiao Chen was so angry that he almost smashed his phone. He hung up the call directly and hid in the corner, stamping his feet and crying.

It’s so difficult to survive in the workplace. Usually everyone calls each other sisters, but in the end, none of them is a good person.

Secretary Xiao Chen wiped away her tears, and after calming down, she went to find Qin Shaoyan, "Boss Qin, something happened."

After listening to Xiao Chen's report, Qin Shaoyan's face looked a little ugly. "In a large-scale operation, discipline must be strict. First of all, the executive director cannot escape, and you must also bear the responsibility."

"But now is not the time to discuss responsibility. Let's find a solution quickly."

"But we don't have any materials now and it's too late to make it now." Secretary Xiao Chen's tears flowed again.

Qin Shaoyan glared at her unhappily, "Don't you know how to do this? Just ask the executive chef to find a solution. If he does, there will be a reward."

Secretary Xiao Chen directly called the executive chef over and took out 10,000 yuan on the spot, "If you can handle the dumplings, this money will be yours."

The executive chef's eyes lit up immediately, and he patted his chest and said, "Just wait and see!"

Then the executive chef immediately picked up the phone and started making contacts, mobilizing his network to find a solution.

In less than an hour, several large bags of frozen dumplings were delivered, along with ready-made dumpling wrappers.

The executive chef rolled up his sleeves and chopped the stuffing himself, and asked his apprentice to wrap it up.

By the time the Spring Festival Gala began, the first pot of dumplings had already been cooked.

As the boss, Qin Shaoyan personally carried the plates and served the dishes to each table. "The dumplings are still in the pot. Let's eat seven first and then cook seven more."

Qin Shaoyan then took out the red envelopes and distributed them to the families of each employee. "My brothers, you have worked hard with me. You can't go home during the Chinese New Year and have to hold your ground. This red envelope is a small token of my appreciation. It is the company's gift to all the uncles and aunts."

The employees present were deeply moved and felt that President Qin was so considerate. Not only did he make clear arrangements for overtime employees, he also took very thoughtful care of their families.

The employees on duty originally planned to take turns eating according to the schedule. Qin Shaoyan saw that the background data had not yet reached its peak, so he personally brought the meals to their workstations and let them eat first. Zhang Pingyi and the CTO temporarily took over their work.

"The Spring Festival Gala has just started, so there isn't much activity on Weibo. We should see a reaction soon." Qin Shaoyan patted Zhang Pingyi on the shoulder, "It all depends on you guys tonight."

"It should be fine. No matter how heavy the traffic is tonight, it won't be as heavy as when you and Apple were arguing." Zhang Pingyi was confident. "It is estimated that it will reach its peak at 10 o'clock tonight and will last until after 12 o'clock, or at most until 1 o'clock."

Weibo CTO Li Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "It depends on whether the Spring Festival Gala is exciting and whether everyone wants to comment on it."

"There will be a lot of Weibo posts tonight." Qin Shaoyan smiled slightly, "It's just a matter of sending a text message. It's very convenient to comment on the phone while watching TV."

Zhang Pingyi sighed, "We have prepared a bonus of 10 million tonight, and these people are rushing to post on Weibo like crazy."

"Our company is getting better. When you were doing the lottery, it was still a pseudo-random lottery. It was all shady stuff."

"Ahem." Qin Shaoyan coughed awkwardly. "We were short of funds at the beginning, but now it's different. We are spending the money of American investors, so we should let go and spend as much as possible, otherwise we won't be able to spend it in the future."

"Don't say anything that is not conducive to unity. You are so sarcastic. I wonder if you think the US stock market is going to collapse." Zhang Pingyi said as he glanced at the background data and suddenly sat up straight. "It's started. How come someone started posting jokes on Weibo so quickly?"

Today, Weibo gave out a bonus of 10 million to reward Weibo posts with outstanding data, including outstanding comments and a certain number of forwarded comments.

Internet users have shown unprecedented enthusiasm. Some people sit in front of their computers, watching the Spring Festival Gala while racking their brains to come up with content for their Weibo posts, striving to make every post interesting.

Some directly edit it in text messages and send it one after another, highlighting the large amount and fullness.

Before 10 o'clock in the evening, 10 million Weibo posts were created. The server started to lag and web page refreshes took several seconds longer.

The programmers who were eating at the same place immediately put down their bowls and chopsticks and rushed to their posts to start dealing with the problem.

Qin Shaoyan turned around and went back to the banquet, began to toast each table and entertain the employees' families. He also held a lucky draw, creating a very lively atmosphere.

The banquet lasted until twelve o'clock in the evening. After the bell rang, Hao Dashan and his team of drivers took the family members back to the hotel where they were staying to rest.

Qin Shaoyan heaved a sigh of relief and called his secretary Xiao Chen, who was about to clean up, over and said, "Tell me how to deal with tonight's affairs."

"I..." Secretary Xiao Chen thought for a moment and gritted his teeth, "I will deduct the Spring Festival holiday bonus, Executive Director Belinda will deduct the Spring Festival bonus and overtime salary, and the person involved will deduct the year-end bonus and two months' salary."

Qin Shaoyan was very surprised, "Even now, you still don't plan to fire him?"

"There's nothing we can do, Mr. Qin." Secretary Xiao Chen said with a bitter face, "She's pregnant, so we can't open the door."

"People come up with ideas, so why can't this be done?" Qin Shaoyan glared at her, "You find a way to get her to do it. People like this cannot stay in our company, they are a complete nuisance!"

"Ah, it's illegal to fire a pregnant woman, President Qin." Secretary Xiao Chen was shocked, "She will sue us."

"Of course firing her is against the law, but what if she wants to resign?" Qin Shaoyan sneered, "As long as you have a flexible mind, there are always more solutions than problems."

"Also, you also gave me the job of the executive director."

"You are working in my company, but you don't think about how to serve the company, and you are playing Zhen Huan here?"

Secretary Xiao Chen was dumbfounded. President Qin was really ruthless. He even fired the executive director.

But it really makes me feel relieved!
I let you stab me in the back, now I'm going to teach you a lesson!

But after thinking about it, she said with a bitter face, "Boss Qin, what should we do with the pregnant woman?"

"Do I need to teach you this?" Qin Shaoyan said impatiently, "It's such a simple thing, I'll fire you first."

"Ah? Mr. Qin, I..." Secretary Xiao Chen was shocked. Why did he fire me?

"You go out and set up a company." Qin Shaoyan continued, "Just poach people there. Tell that Liao Danni that the new company has better benefits, and she will definitely be willing to jump over there."

Secretary Xiao Chen was stunned. "What then?"

"Then the company can be dissolved."
