Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 85 Deeply resents not being laid off

Anyone willing to work with us will receive 100 million!
Even those who don't want to follow will receive 100 million!
The 21 gym bags that Chen Xiu threw out were completely opened and arranged into three rows of seven, neatly placed in front of him.

Every bag was stuffed with RMB, creating a spectacular scene, just like something out of a TV drama.

Seeing this scene before them and hearing what Chen Xiu had just said, Lao Hou and the others were stunned into silence.

The onlookers who had been crowding the entrance to watch the spectacle all stared wide-eyed at the gym bags on the ground, their expressions slowly turning strange.

They came to watch the show, but little did they know, they would end up becoming the clown themselves!

"If I had known that being laid off would have meant getting 100 million yuan and being assigned a new job by Brother Xiu, I would have preferred to be laid off!"

This idea popped into the minds of the onlookers.

If they had a choice, they would have replaced anyone in the office... I really regret not being laid off!
"Um, Brother Xiu..."

After his initial surprise subsided, Old Hou looked up at Chen Xiu and asked, "Did you pay for all of this yourself?"

"Yes! This is what I prepared for you. Whether you want to work with me or not, this money is a small token of my appreciation and a recognition of your hard work!"

Chen Xiu pointed to the 21 gym bags in front of her and said generously.

Upon hearing his confirmation again, everyone else in and outside the office was stunned once more.

Su Xiao, the only one who knew the whole story and participated in the planning, looked at Chen Xiu with a gleam in her eyes.

Throughout her life, Chen Xiu has been involved in the planning of many of the things she does.

But Su Xiao also knew that only if Chen Xiu did these things herself could the effect be maximized. If she did them, the effect would probably be less than half.

The two are essentially the same: one gives advice and the other does the work; there is a fundamental difference between them.

Chen Xiu's personal relationships with these programmers, the magnanimity, responsibility, courage, and ability to evoke empathy in others that he displayed today are all qualities that Su Xiao lacks.

However, these are the key factors that determine whether a person can infect others.

After dispelling everyone's doubts, Chen Xiu went to confirm one more time: "Are you all willing to trust me one more time...?"

"I believe!"

Old Hou raised his hand to interrupt, his eyes fixed intently on Chen Xiu.

"I can't say anything else, and I wouldn't say it well anyway. But I, Lao Hou, believe in Brother Xiu's character."

Old Hou turned around and looked at the crowd behind him, then continued to say to Chen Xiu, "As long as you're willing to take me, I'll work for you for the rest of my life!"

"I believe too!"

A handsome young man, who seemed to speak little and had a pale face, walked out from behind and stood next to Old Hou.

His name is Zhang Shaobin, a native of Shandong province. He is known as Lao Zhang and is the third most skilled programmer among Didi's employees.

After Lao Hou and Lao Zhang took the lead in expressing their opinions, the rest of the people standing against the wall began to step forward one by one. Everyone's attitude was very clear: they were willing to follow Chen Xiu!
After they had all expressed their opinions, Chen Xiu pressed down on the air with her hands and said, "I understand what everyone means. Xiao Feng, come over here and explain."

Upon hearing the summons, Wei Feng hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and came to Chen Xiu's side. Facing the crowd, he swiped the folder in his hand.

"Okay, next, those whose names I call out, please come forward to collect your personal subsidies! First one, Hou Jin."

"To!"

Old Hou walked out of the crowd and came to the three rows of gym bags, his expression still somewhat uncertain.

Chen Xiu picked up the nearest gym bag and handed it to Lao Hou, saying, "Here, take this."

"Brother Xiu, it's already great that you're willing to help us find new jobs, this money..."

"You're helping me."

Chen Xiu suddenly lowered her voice and then gestured to Hou Jin with her eyes to quickly take the money and leave.

Seeing this, Hou Jin, though somewhat confused, still grabbed his gym bag and quietly disappeared into the crowd.

“The second one is Zhang Shaobin.” Zhang Shaobin stepped forward, and Chen Xiu handed him the same gym bag.

Compared to Hou Jin, Zhang Shaobin didn't say much, but he communicated with Chen Xiu with his eyes before taking his bag and leaving.

"The third……"

"The fourth one..."

"The fifteenth..."

As gym bags were distributed one by one, the expressions of the onlookers who had been watching the spectacle from the doorway gradually changed from strange to envious and jealous.

If the thought of "deeply resenting not being laid off" was just something they were internally fantasizing about, then...

So now, they really want to leave Didi and join Chen Xiu's team.

No one present was a fool. After calmly considering the situation, they all realized from Chen Xiu's series of actions that today's money-sharing meeting was Chen Xiu's way of winning people's hearts!
But what good is understanding it?

Chen Xiu is really giving money!

For working people, what's wrong with a boss trying to win people over as long as they're willing to pay?

Moreover, Chen Xiu was willing to open up to his subordinates, help them find new jobs when they were laid off, and even pay out of his own pocket!
He could surpass Cheng Wei in any one of these three tasks, proving that he is a responsible person.

People are afraid of comparison, and bosses are even more afraid of comparison.

Chen Xiu's actions were observed by everyone.

In contrast, Cheng Wei's actions involved gathering non-direct subordinates together, then disbanding the entire department, leaving Su Xiao to take the blame and clean up the mess, while he hid in his office drinking and celebrating...

While it's understandable for a boss to shift blame to subordinates, the way he did it was extremely inconsiderate.

Compared to Chen Xiufang, Cheng Wei looks even more pathetic.

As a working person, who wouldn't want to work for a boss like Chen Xiu?
The so-called "open strategy" is knowing exactly what someone is doing, but being powerless to stop them, and even actively cooperating with them.

Now, all the onlookers outside know that Chen Xiu is putting on a show to win people over, but they all want to be the ones who get won over.

"The twenty-first one is Zhang Wei."

When Chen Xiu handed out the last gym bag, some of the onlookers finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Brother Xiu, if I leave Didi, would you be willing to take me?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man standing on the right, closest to the door. His eyes were bright and gleamed with a desire for money.

Seeing the person who had personally stepped forward to set off a fuss for him, Chen Xiu raised his hand and waved to both sides.

Hou Jin and Zhang Shaobin also took the initiative to lead their people to step back, squeezing out the only space in the office.

Stepping to the doorway, Chen Xiu stared at the person who had spoken earlier, a contemptuous smirk playing on her lips.

"I'm here today to pick up these old comrades and move on to the next phase. They've all fought tough battles with me, and this money is their initial resettlement allowance. Who are you? I've never seen you before. You weren't just here last year, were you?"

Upon hearing this, Lao Hou and Lao Zhang felt a surge of pride.

The man was stumped by the three questions, his face turning red. He stammered and couldn't find the words to say, and finally had to retreat dejectedly amidst the mocking gazes of the crowd.

By taking advantage of this misfortune, he demonstrated his toughness and prevented others from following suit.

Chen Xiu stood at the door and looked around at the onlookers outside.

"I know that you have all heard some rumors that Mr. Cheng and I are at odds. Today, I would like to make it clear to everyone that Mr. Cheng and I have a very good relationship. What I did today was only from a personal point of view, to arrange a more dignified way for the company's long-term employees to leave."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a wail suddenly came from the office doorway.

Everyone turned to look, and the people surrounding the office door automatically dispersed. Cheng Wei, pale-faced, sat down on the ground, with Liu Qing, Zhu Jingshi, and Zhang Bo standing beside him, their faces also grim.
