The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 183 The Employee's Good Luck
Secretary Liu quickly suppressed his smile and asked urgently, "Tell me, tell me! As long as it's within my power, I will do my best!"

Zhao Xiaochui smiled slightly and said firmly, "I don't want to work for the landlord!"

The cunning Secretary Liu chuckled, as if he had expected this, and pulled out another document from his briefcase.

“The three-story shops in Block E of Cuicheng Xinyuan originally housed the Xinfadi convenience market on the first floor, daily necessities stores on the second and third floors, and pre-made food vendors like Chou Lv in the basement.”

Zhang Minghua's eyes lit up. After taking the documents, he and Zhou Yaqin examined them carefully. The two huddled together and discussed something in hushed tones.

Zhao Xiaochui raised an eyebrow and asked, "What? You're renting me a floor for free?"

"The entire building!" Secretary Liu said decisively. "Three months for renovation, one year rent-free, and after one year, Fatou Subdistrict will invest in the linen washing center with the rent."

The two retired financial elites beside him, who could be considered half actuaries, stared at the data and worked together in perfect harmony, their fingers clicking on the calculator. Zhao Xiaochui could even hear the rhythm in their voices.

Zhao Xiaochui quickly calculated in his mind and looked at Secretary Liu: "What about the merchants inside?"

"They've all gone out of business!"

Secretary Liu said with a wry smile, "The second and third floors have been empty for a year, and the shops on the first floor closed down last month. As for those pre-prepared food vendors in the basement..."

He spread his hands and smiled helplessly, "I banned Ugly Donkey's delivery rights in Fatou Street, and compensated them for two months' rent. They all had to leave within three days!"

Zhao Xiaochui: "..." This Secretary Liu has a tough hand.

He looked at the two elderly women again, and the financial elites buried themselves in their calculations once more, a tense atmosphere filling the air.

Secretary Liu grew increasingly anxious. The air conditioning in the shop seemed to have no effect on him, and fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead. He wiped them with a tissue every now and then, his eyes darting anxiously between Zhao Xiaochui and the two accountants.

Zhao Xiaochui neither offered comfort nor disturbed the calculations on the other end. Instead, he began to think seriously, his fingers lightly tapping the table.

Sitting opposite him, the junior accountant, Ou Xiaokui, blushed instantly at his direct gaze, her cheeks turning as red as a ripe apple. She quickly lowered her head, the abrupt movement bringing Zhao Xiaochui back to his senses. He chuckled awkwardly and suddenly asked:

Has our corporate annuity investment plan been confirmed?

"Sigh~"

Apart from the bewildered Secretary Liu, everyone present stared at Zhao Xiaochui in disbelief, as if they had heard something utterly unbelievable.

Zhang Minghua and Zhou Yaqin also stopped writing, exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise and confusion. Zhang Minghua spoke first: "Little Hammer, you mean...?"

Zhao Xiaochui nodded firmly: "All the supporting enterprises of 'Easy and Slow Travel' accept investment from their employees' corporate annuity funds!"

"Wow~"

The scene erupted in uproar, the oppressive atmosphere completely shattered.

An excited finance lady couldn't help but jump up, waving her arms and beaming with excitement.

Only Zhang Minghua and Zhou Yaqin looked at each other in frustration. With an annual salary of 1 yuan, where would they get the company annuity?

Seeing their expressions, Zhao Xiaochui smiled and said, "Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhou, we can accept individual investment. Please provide a safe percentage."

"Thanks, little hammer." Zhang Minghua's voice trembled slightly. Unlike Zhou Yaqin, although she was financially independent, she still had a large family to support. Today was a day of unexpected windfall for all the employees of "Easy Slow Travel."

Even for supporting businesses, no one doubts their future prospects, since following Zhao Xiaochui is equivalent to grasping the key to wealth.

"Little Hammer, what about our street?" Secretary Liu also came to his senses and asked with a hint of expectation.

Zhao Xiaochui shook his head, stopping the one-time expenditure, which was already equivalent to the rent of that building, so there was no need to accept that kind of investment: "We don't need a renovation period. Give us a year of rent-free accommodation, I'll take care of the street office's issues, and the rent thereafter will be determined by the market."

Upon hearing this, Secretary Liu sighed regretfully, but then relaxed again—the problem was solved, and it was fine if he hadn't succeeded in seeking benefits for the unit; he couldn't be too greedy.

At this point, Zhao Xiaochui had resolved all the aftermath of that Heavenly Situation, clearing the way for the future development of "Easy and Slow Travel".

He stood up easily, stretched, and then asked, "When is our HR person arriving?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice faintly came through the noisy headphones: "Boss, the new HR has just completed their onboarding and is reporting for duty. Can I take advantage of this perk?"

The public channel was filled with excited flattery; thankfully, Zhao Xiaochui had good hearing.

He tapped the earpiece at a specific frequency, and Shen Yan immediately silenced the channel backstage.

"Then please have HR make a note of this: Starting today, 'Easy Slow Travel' will readjust the technician salary system. All technicians on the first and second floors will be automatically upgraded to the highest level."

"Please cooperate with the human resources and finance departments to set up a mentor-apprentice teaching commission system. We need to make reasonable plans on how much commission the mentor can receive after the apprentice graduates and for how long."

"Please strive to allocate resources reasonably while respecting the value of knowledge and skills, so that every employee can feel fairness and justice."

"Colleagues, we will soon be welcoming a large number of young technicians."

Zhao Xiaochui's voice suddenly rose, his tone becoming serious and powerful: "Please treat them kindly, do not isolate or ostracize them! Do not spread rumors or humiliate them! Do not verbally attack them! And especially do not resort to subtle forms of passive-aggressive violence! At 'Relaxed and Slow,' we will absolutely not tolerate any form of workplace bullying!"

"'Relaxed and Slow-Paced' management style will always be flat, and I will deal directly with each and every one of you. If anyone dares to bully a newcomer, I will make them pay a heavy price! I will never tolerate it!"

"I respect everyone, and I ask that everyone respect each other so that we can grow and progress together in the future! Thank you all in advance!"

"........."

The public channel fell silent, as if stunned by Zhao Xiaochui's powerful voice.

The meeting room was quiet; everyone held their breath and listened intently.

One of the finance ladies had tears in her eyes, clearly indicating that she had been through something; Zhao Xiaochui's words had touched a deep wound in her heart.

Most of them just watched Zhao Xiaochui quietly, their eyes filled with a variety of complex emotions.

Secretary Liu, who had been watching the spectacle, lost interest in joining in. He stood up, straightened his clothes, and solemnly patted Zhao Xiaochui on the shoulder.

"You've been a great help to the neighborhood committee, thank you so much." He paused, then said sincerely, "With you, 'Relaxed Travel' will definitely get better and better!"
