One Yuan First Recharge: I'm Actually the Boss Behind a Fortune 500 Company

Wang Hao arrived at the company at 9:20 a.m.

As soon as I pushed open the door to the Sales Department 3 office, I heard Wu Liang's familiar loud voice:

"Hey! Look who's here! Our top salesperson has finally decided to come to work!"

That shout drew everyone's attention in the office.

Seven or eight colleagues looked up and smiled when they saw it was Wang Hao.

"Brother Hao is here!"

"Oh my, what a rare guest! Hao-ge, you must have been counting money at home until your hands cramped up these past few days, right?"

"Brother Hao is awesome! You've closed big deals for several days in a row. Our department's performance this month is all thanks to you!"

"Treat us! Brother Hao has to treat us!"

The office instantly became lively.

Wang Hao was a little embarrassed by this display and waved his hand:

"Alright, alright, stop making a fuss. It's just good luck."

"This isn't luck!" Xiao Zhang, who was sitting near the door, stood up.

"I've been in sales for three years, and I've never seen anyone as amazing as you, Hao-ge."

"Twenty or thirty thousand a day, for several days in a row—what kind of client resources must that be!"

"Exactly!" Little Li chimed in from the side.

"Brother Hao, can you share your experience? Did you get some special connections?"

Just as Wang Hao was about to speak, team leader Lao Ma came out from the inner office.

"What are you all doing gathered here? Don't you have any work to do?" Old Ma said with a stern face, but there was a smile in his eyes.

My colleagues quickly dispersed, but their eyes kept glancing this way.

Old Ma walked up to Wang Hao, patted him on the shoulder, and spoke in a completely different tone than usual:

"Xiao Wang, you didn't actually need to come today. You can rest at home or go out to meet some clients, either is fine."

Wang Hao was taken aback: "Team leader..."

"Don't call me team leader," Old Ma interrupted.

"You're a key contributor to our department right now. The manager even told me this morning not to be shy and to just do things at your own pace."

He lowered his voice:

"You little rascal, you really gave our minister a lot of face this time."

"You've closed big deals for several days in a row; the whole sales department is talking about you. Even the director knows."

Just then, another person walked in through the door.

Sales Director, Mr. Zhao.

He was in his forties, wearing a sharp suit, and his hair was neatly combed.

The office fell silent instantly.

General Manager Zhao walked straight up to Wang Hao, looked him up and down, and then smiled:

"You're Wang Hao?"

"Hello, Mr. Zhao," Wang Hao quickly greeted him.

"Okay, okay." General Manager Zhao nodded.

"Old Ma told me that you've been performing exceptionally well these past few days."

"With continuous sales, your cumulative revenue must have exceeded 100,000 by now, right?"

"More or less..." Wang Hao said.

"Very good." General Manager Zhao patted him on the shoulder. "The company needs sales talent like you. Quietly and decisively, you can make a name for yourself."

He glanced around the office, raising his voice slightly:

"As everyone has seen, Wang Hao has proven with his actions that as long as you are willing to work hard and have the right methods, you can achieve results."

"The company is never stingy with rewards for outstanding employees. In addition to regular commissions, there are extra bonuses and recognition."

"I hope our department can produce more role models like Wang Hao."

After saying that, he looked at Wang Hao and said, "Work hard. If you need any support, just tell Lao Ma, or you can come to me."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao," Wang Hao said.

Mr. Zhao nodded, offered a few more words of encouragement, and then left.

As soon as he left, the atmosphere in the office became lively again.

"Holy crap, Hao-ge, the director himself came to support you!"

"This treatment is unparalleled!"

"From now on, Hao-ge will be the top star in our department!"

Wang Hao blushed a little from everyone's comments, quickly waved his hand, and went to sit down at his workstation.

Wu Liang slid the chair closer and whispered in his ear:

"Wow, Haozi, you're really a star now."

"Stop fooling around," Wang Hao said in a low voice.

"I wasn't making a fuss," Wu Liang said with a grin.

"You didn't see it, but these past few days, when Lao Ma talks about you, his mouth is practically stretched to his ears. Your performance is equivalent to half of his team's."

Wang Hao didn't reply, but turned on his computer and symbolically logged into the work system.

But in reality, he knew that he was able to sit here and enjoy these "honors" entirely because of Yu Xinxin from "Behind the Scenes".

Yu Xinxin made the phone call, Yu Xinxin placed the order, and Yu Xinxin generated the sales figures.

He was just a "middleman".

But I can't say that.

He glanced at the time: 9:40.

According to the game's setting, the electronics company's employees should already be at their posts.

He took out his phone and opened the game.

Sure enough, the surveillance footage showed all seven people already at their workstations.

Yu Xinxin was on the phone, her expression focused.

Lin Wei was drawing while staring at the screen.

Sister Wang is checking the accounts.

"..."

That damn Zhou Jianjun... is making tea.

Business as usual.

Wang Hao switched back to the main menu and began to study the game carefully.

In the past, he always rushed through his affairs and completed his tasks, and he never really looked at the various functions of the game properly.

This game has brought about so many changes for him, so now that he has the time, Wang Hao feels he must learn more about it.

After all, this was his last bit of confidence!

"..."

At the top of the main interface, there are several icons:

He first clicked on "Company Overview".

It displays:

Company Name: Xingyue Media!

Company Level: LV.1

Current Employees: 7

[Player Level]: LV.1

"Player level?" Wang Hao noticed this.

He clicked on the question mark notification next to it.

[Player Level: Determined based on your performance in the game, company growth, team building, and other comprehensive factors. Leveling up will unlock more game features and privileges.]

Current Level: LV.1 (Entering the Business World)

[Upgrade Requirements: Continue managing your company; you will be automatically promoted upon reaching the corresponding milestones.]

"There's also a level system..." Wang Hao muttered.

It seems that this game is not just about letting him manage a company, but also about his growth path.

He exited the "Company Overview" and then opened "System Settings".

There aren't many options; most are basic settings like graphics and sound effects.

But at the very bottom, there is an [Achievement System].

"Achievement system?" Wang Hao clicked on it.

A prompt appears on the screen:

The achievement system is not yet unlocked. It will automatically unlock after players complete the "Emerging Talent" achievement.

"Showing promise?" Wang Hao frowned.

What kind of achievement is this?

How to achieve this?

As he was thinking, his phone suddenly vibrated.

It wasn't a message notification, but an in-game pop-up.

A pop-up window with a gold border appeared in the center of the screen:

[Detection indicates the player has been operating the company for a week; the company is running stably, and the team is showing initial signs of cohesion.]

[The 'Growth Path' tutorial quests are now unlocked for you!]

[Currently Available Quest: First Signs of Talent]

Wang Hao's heart skipped a beat.

He held his breath, his fingers trembling slightly as he clicked on the pop-up window.

The page expands to reveal a simple task panel.

At the top is a striking gold title: [Growth Path: First Glimpse of Talent]

The following is divided into several parts:

[Task Description]: As a newly appointed manager, you need to prove your business acumen and development capabilities. Lead your company to complete a business collaboration worth no less than 10 RMB.

【Task duration】: 30 days (calculated from the date of acceptance).

[Task Reward]: RMB 300,000 (to be distributed to the player's designated account through legal channels).

[Current Status]: Not accepted (Click the button below to accept the task)

Wang Hao stared at the screen, his breath catching in his throat.

Three hundred thousand?

Real-world rewards?

He rubbed his eyes and looked at it carefully again.

That's right, it says in black and white: Real-world reward: RMB 300,000.

"This...how is this possible?" Wang Hao muttered to himself.

A game where you can play by spending just one yuan, and completing tasks will give you 300,000 yuan directly?

What kind of good thing is this?

His first reaction was disbelief.

This is too outrageous.

Even if it's some kind of beta testing event or promotional perk, they wouldn't be this generous.

Three hundred thousand! That's more than an average person earns in a year.

But then he thought again... it didn't seem entirely impossible.

After all, the game has already brought him real benefits.

Yu Xinxin sold alcohol, and he received a commission.

Lin Wei did design work, and he earned design fees.

Although this money seems like "reasonable" income, it all stems from this game.

If the company behind the game is really that "generous," using 300,000 to incentivize players to deeply experience the game, it seems... plausible?

Wang Hao's finger hovered above the "Accept Quest" button, and he pressed it without hesitation:

[You have accepted the growth mission: Showing Initial Talent]

[Task countdown: 29 day 23 hours 59 minutes]

Please strive to lead the company to expand its business and achieve its goals!

The pop-up disappeared, and a permanent notification appeared in the taskbar.

Wang Hao quit the game, leaned back in his chair, and felt his palms were sweaty.

Three hundred thousand.

Get the game company to complete a transaction worth over 100,000 within 30 days.

This is... a bit too difficult!

For a small media company with only 7 employees, the chances of landing such a high-value order are extremely slim.

Wang Hao knows this industry inside and out: services like wedding planning generally cost around ten to twenty thousand yuan on the market.

Even for other activities, it's nothing more than setting up a stage backdrop, getting some sound equipment, and maybe adding some live filming; it's hard to increase the average order value.

Unless it's a really large-scale event.

But those large-scale events are basically all linked to the government or large corporations.

That kind of job is always highly competitive, with all media companies scrambling to bid for it, going through layers of selection and fierce competition.

Given the size and experience of his small company, his chances of getting a share of the profits are virtually zero.

Just as Wang Hao was lost in thought, Wu Liang's voice pulled him back to reality:

"Haozi, what are you daydreaming about?"

Wang Hao looked up and saw Wu Liang looking at him with a curious expression.

"Nothing," Wang Hao said, "I was just thinking about something."

"What are you thinking about? You look so serious." Wu Liang leaned closer. "You're not calculating how much commission you'll get this month, are you?"

Wang Hao smiled and said, "Pretty much."

"Damn, you've got to treat me to something big then." Wu Liang patted him on the shoulder. "Seafood buffet, let's go!"

"Okay, I'll wait until I get paid," Wang Hao said.
