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

1:50 PM.

Wang Hao was woken up by Wu Liang: "Let's go, Haozi, time for work."

He nodded groggily, stood up by supporting himself on the soft armrest of the internet cafe sofa, and followed Wu Liang out.

He habitually took out his phone to check the time—and what he saw shocked him.

In the notification bar, three green bubble payment reminders were prominently displayed.

He quickly clicked on it.

The screen clearly displays: "WeChat payment received 12,000 yuan", "WeChat payment received 10,000 yuan", and "WeChat payment received 14,000 yuan".

Wang Hao stared at the number, repeatedly counting the zeros as he swiped his finger across the screen.

Thirty-six thousand.

A total of 36,000 yuan.

"Holy shit!" he couldn't help but exclaim.

Wu Liang, who was walking ahead, was startled and turned around to look at him:

"Haozi, what's wrong? Why are you so startled?"

Wang Hao quickly took a deep breath and waved his hand:

"...It's nothing, I just missed a step."

"Nonsense." Wu Liang chuckled and cursed, then turned and continued walking forward.

Wang Hao's heart was pounding like a drum.

His fingers trembled slightly as he opened the game.

Sure enough, there was an unread message in Yu Xinxin's chat box:

"Boss, I tried contacting a few clients at noon and have already completed three orders."

"The total payment of 36,000 yuan has been transferred to the account you provided. Here is the customer's shipping address and contact information, which I have prepared (attached). Please check."

"I'll keep working hard this afternoon!"

Wang Hao stared at the message, reading it over and over again three times.

He wanted to send ten messages right away, praising the girl and asking her how she sold it.

But this stupid game has a limit on the number of chat sessions, so I can't send a single message now.

Thirty-six thousand!

Their commission rate for selling alcohol is 20%, so for this sales volume of 36,000, the commission would be 7,200.

Seven thousand two in one day!

That's over 200,000 a month!

OK!

I can't even imagine it!

He leaned against the wall and it took him several seconds to recover.

We closed a deal, and not just a deal, we closed a big deal.

My job is safe, I'll get my full base salary this month, and the money for the New Year... it all seems to have suddenly gone from being out of reach to being within easy reach.

As a child, I looked forward to the New Year; as an adult, I dread it.

At that moment, the fear of returning home empty-handed was suddenly swept away.

After being excited for a while, Wang Hao forced himself to calm down.

Something is wrong!

Something's really wrong!

Did a virtual employee in a game actually sell real-world alcohol after making a few phone calls?

The money was actually transferred to his WeChat account?

This game company is really spending way too much!

What's the point?

He only topped up one yuan.

Is it to create the ultimate user experience?

Or did I just get incredibly lucky and become an internal test player?

Thinking of this, he quickened his pace and caught up with Wu Liang:

"Ryoko, can you check if you can find a game called 'Behind the Scenes' in your phone's app store?"

Wu Liang was baffled: "I don't play mobile games, why are you looking at that?"

"I'm not telling you to download it, just search for it and see if that name exists."

Seeing his serious expression, Wu Liang reluctantly took out his phone, searched through several mainstream app stores and WeChat mini-programs, and then shook his head:

"No, I can't find anything. Are you dreaming about this game?"

Wang Hao's heart skipped a beat, and then he suddenly realized something.

If it's not available on the market... then my identity as a "beta tester" makes sense.

No wonder the experience is so exaggerated; it's probably a "virtual-real combination" experience that the game company has spent a lot of money to create for testing and promotion.

As for selling alcohol?

Most likely, a team within the game company is operating this, but the results and profits are being shared with this test user whose information is linked.

With all industries embroiled in this frenzy, it seems... not entirely impossible for game companies to pull off some outrageous and bizarre moves in their quest for recognition.

who cares!

Wang Hao shook his head, temporarily putting aside those things he couldn't understand.

Anyway, I had a lot of fun, got to experience being a boss, and actually solved my immediate survival problem.

It's all beneficial and has no drawbacks, so why think so much!

Back in his office, Wang Hao felt his back straighten out a bit.

He walked straight to the team leader's workstation.

Old Ma was checking data on the computer when he caught sight of him out of the corner of his eye. He turned his head and asked, "Xiao Wang? What's up?"

"Team leader," Wang Hao cleared his throat:

"I've placed the order. I've received the payment, and I'll transfer it to you now. I'll send you the customer information and address via WeChat."

Old Ma's eyes lit up, and he turned around:

"Oh? You closed a deal? There was nothing happening this morning?"

"Yes, they were a few clients we had been following up with for a while, and they all suddenly decided to make payments around noon," Wang Hao explained.

"That's great! No matter how small, opening it is a breakthrough!"

"Just transfer the money to me, send me the information, and I'll register and summarize it," Old Ma said with a smile.

Wang Hao used his phone to transfer 36,000 yuan in two separate transactions, and then sent over screenshots of the customer information that Yu Xinxin had compiled.

Old Ma's phone rang several times in a row.

He picked it up, glanced at the transfer amount, and then opened the customer information to carefully examine the order details. His mouth slowly opened wide.

"No... Xiao Wang," Old Ma looked up, his face full of surprise:

"You just closed a deal worth 36,000?"

He originally thought that Wang Hao would be commendable for closing a deal worth a thousand or so, but he didn't expect him to break the bank so big.

Old Ma then grinned from ear to ear and slapped Wang Hao's arm hard:

"Good lad! You've truly lived up to your reputation, remaining silent until you finally unleash your power!"

"Okay, you go back and sit down first. I'll post the good news in the group chat right away to boost everyone's morale!"

Wang Hao nodded and returned to his workstation.

I had barely sat down when a message from Editor Lao Ma popped up in the company's group chat:

[Warmest congratulations to Wang Hao from Sales Department 3 for successfully closing a deal today, achieving a sales volume of 36,000 yuan! Keep up the good work and create even greater achievements!]

A row of system-provided celebratory emoticons followed.

As soon as the message was sent out, the previously quiet group immediately became lively.

"Wow, Hao-ge is awesome!"

Congratulations!

"Salute (emoji)!"

"Firecrackers (emoji)!"

Various congratulatory messages and emojis appeared one after another. Although many of them were just formulaic expressions of support, the lively atmosphere was genuine.

Immediately afterwards, the finance department tagged Wang Hao in the group chat and sent him a special red envelope.

Wang Hao clicked on it—200 yuan.

Almost simultaneously, HR also issued an announcement:

"Congratulations to Wang Hao on achieving a personal sales record of over 10,000 yuan today. According to the company's incentive system, you are entitled to an early departure bonus for today. Keep it up!"

The two pieces of good news that followed dispelled most of the gloom and anxiety that had been building up in my heart for months.

This 200 yuan red envelope is real; it's enough for him to eat comfortably for several days.

He left work early... He'd been with the company for so long, always watching the top salespeople leave early, and he'd always envied them. Now it was finally his turn.

Wu Liang leaned forward, looking surprised:

"Wow, Haozi! You've been keeping this all under wraps, haven't you? You made me worry for nothing!"

Wang Hao looked at him and just smiled, not knowing how to explain for a moment.

Seeing his expression, Wu Liang waved his hand:

"Alright, alright, look at you grinning like an idiot."

"Hurry up and pack your things, leave as soon as possible, go back and get some rest. You've had a tough time lately."
