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

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye!

The air in Xingyue Media's office was filled with the mixed smell of coffee and printing paper.

The continuous high-intensity work left everyone looking tired, but their eyes were surprisingly bright.

At 8:20 in the morning, Chen Ming was the first to push open the door and come in, carrying the breakfast he had just bought.

He placed the steamed buns and soy milk on the table, ate them while turning on his computer, and began checking the list of suppliers he needed to coordinate with that day.

At 8:30, Lin Wei walked in wearing headphones. She had dark circles under her eyes, but she already had a printed draft of the design in her hand.

Without greeting anyone, she went straight to her workstation, turned on her computer, and began revising the details.

At 8:40, Lei Zhen rushed in carrying his camera bag, still feeling the chill of the early morning air.

He spent scouting locations in the suburban park until 11 p.m. last night, and this morning he's going to confirm several filming positions.

"Good morning, everyone!" His voice was as loud as ever.

"Manager Zhou, I've contacted the park management office. We can go there at 3 PM today to confirm the final route!"

Zhou Jianjun came out of the tea room, holding a freshly brewed goji berry tea, and nodded:

"Okay, I'll go with you this afternoon."

At exactly nine o'clock, Zhang Wei burst through the door, his suit jacket draped over his shoulders, his tie loose, but he looked very energetic.

"Good morning, everyone! The school just finished its morning meeting. The vice principal said that over 300 families have already registered, and we need to be prepared to accommodate 600 people!"

"Six hundred?" Sister Wang looked up from the ledger and adjusted her glasses.

"The budget for the project was based on 500 people, and this exceeds the budget by 20%."

"It's alright, Sister Wang!" Zhang Wei grinned.

"The vice principal said that the excess amount will be allocated proportionally to the additional budget. I'll go and sign the supplementary agreement this morning!"

Sister Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Yu Xinxin stood up from the front desk and said softly:

"Um... I made coffee for everyone, it's in the break room."

"And... the steamed buns and fried dough sticks I bought from the breakfast shop downstairs are still warm."

Chen Ming looked up and smiled gently: "Thank you, Xin Xin. I was just about to finish eating."

"No, you're welcome." Yu Xinxin blushed slightly and quickly sat down.

Soon, the office was filled with the sounds of rapid keyboard typing, telephone ringing, and the hum of printers.

Everyone is in their own position, turning like a finely tuned gear.

Chen Ming took notes while making the call:

"Mr. Li, yes, we need twenty security personnel. They need to be there at 7:00 AM on the day of the event..."

"Yes, we need to wear the same uniform..."

Lin Wei sent the design draft to the work group and tagged everyone: "First draft of the main visual, feedback in ten minutes. The color scheme is attached at the end, please give your comments now."

Zhang Wei was on the phone with the school: "Vice Principal Wang, don't worry, I'll send the supplementary agreement over before noon... Volunteer training? It's all arranged, Saturday morning at nine o'clock in the school auditorium..."

The entire office was busy yet orderly.

……

in the apartment.

Wang Hao leaned back on the sofa, with four monitoring windows open simultaneously on his phone screen.

As he watched all this, an indescribable feeling welled up inside him.

Although the people in this game are virtual, the busy atmosphere and the details of the characters are so realistic.

It was as if what was happening before his eyes wasn't a game, but that he actually owned a company.

For the past three days, he has been staring at the game interface almost every day.

He would open the game promptly at eight o'clock in the morning and wouldn't log off until the last person left the company.

With his soldiers fighting on the front lines, he, as the boss, could not simply wash his hands of the business.

He never asked anyone to work overtime.

But all of these people voluntarily arrived early and left late.

Chen Ming is busy until after nine o'clock every day before rushing to his neighbor's house to pick up his daughter.

Once, Wang Hao overheard him apologizing to his daughter on the phone:

"Baby, I'm sorry, Daddy will be a little late again today... Be a good girl and listen to Aunt Li, Daddy will come home early tomorrow to be with you..."

Lin Wei has barely left her workstation for the past three days, and she even eats her meals in front of her computer.

She has revised the main visual design eleven times, and each time she was dissatisfied with it and had to start over.

Lei Zhen ran the entire hiking route and took thousands of photos in order to find the best shooting angle.

Zhang Wei became a frequent flyer, traveling to five or six places every day, including schools, suppliers, and government departments.

Sister Wang's account book was filled with detailed records, and she checked every single expense repeatedly.

Yu Xinxin managed the materials in an orderly manner, and even the entry and exit of a pen or a pin were clearly recorded.

Zhou Jianjun... this old fox is really going all out now.

They arrive earliest and leave latest every day.

He coordinates, identifies and addresses shortcomings, and solves problems... He appears wherever he is needed.

My dark circles are getting worse every day, but my energy is getting better every day.

As Wang Hao watched all this unfold, the sense of detachment he felt, as if it were just a game, was gradually fading away.

He began to genuinely care about these people and the progress of the project.

He began to feel that he was not an observer, but a member of the team—even if it was behind the scenes.

Just then, a WeChat pop-up window appeared.

Wang Hao went out to take a look and saw that it was Wu Liang.

"Haozi, how's it going on your end? When will those three interior design drafts be ready? They're not in a rush, they're just asking about the progress."

Wang Hao then remembered that there was such a thing.

He quickly replied:

"Ryoko, tell my friend that it might have to be postponed for a week."

"His company recently took on a big project, and the whole company is rushing to finish it, so they really can't spare any time."

A few seconds later, Wu Liang replied:

"It's alright, Haozi! Let your friend focus on his big project, I'll explain things to you."

"Besides, submitting a manuscript in half a month is normal, so don't feel pressured."

Wang Hao breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Liangzi."

"Don't mention it! Just treat me to a nice meal when your friend's done with work!"

Exit WeChat and switch back to the game interface.

At that moment, he noticed in Yu Xinxin's surveillance footage that the young girl was carrying a stack of documents and delivering coffee to everyone at each workstation.

When it was delivered to Chen Ming, he was engrossed in making a phone call and said "thank you" without looking up.

The coffee was delivered to Zhang Wei, who smiled, took it, and gulped down a large mouthful.

"Thanks, sis! I'll treat you to dinner later!"

Finally, it was delivered to Zhou Jianjun. Zhou Jianjun took the coffee and said gently:

"Xiaoyu, you've done a great job with the logistics these past few days. Thank you for your hard work."

Yu Xinxin blushed and whispered, "It's no trouble at all, it's my duty."
