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

Wang Hao sat on the sofa in the apartment for a long time.

The phone screen went dark, but the emotions inside him were still churning.

The comments at the celebration banquet—"The boss is generous," "The boss is really good," "A boss like that is rare"...

These words, like a warm current, washed over his heart again and again.

Although he rationally knew it was just a game and these people were just code... emotionally, he was completely hooked.

"Hold……"

Wang Hao muttered a curse under his breath, rubbed his sore eyes, and then smiled.

He turned his phone back on and switched back to the "Behind the Scenes" screen.

In the taskbar, the progress bar for "Showing Initial Talent" has indeed reached 99%, with only the final payment to be received.

Just then—

My phone suddenly vibrated.

It's not a game notification sound; it's the exclusive ringtone for bank text messages.

Wang Hao was taken aback and subconsciously opened the text message.

【中国工商银行】您尾号8876的帐户于12月10日14:17完成转帐交易人民币300,000.00。

Three...three hundred thousand?

Wang Hao stared at the string of numbers, his eyes wide open.

His first thought was – a scam text message?

But this is indeed ICBC's official SMS number, and the balance figures match...

Wang Hao's fingers trembled slightly as he exited the SMS interface and opened the mobile banking app.

Log in.

enter password.

Access account details.

The latest transaction record clearly shows:

[Trading timeframe: 2026...]

Transaction Type: Revenue

Transaction Amount: 300,000.00

[Note: Game Rewards]

"They've really...they've really attacked..."

Wang Hao stared blankly at his phone screen, his mind completely blank.

Three hundred thousand.

It really is 300,000.

It wasn't game currency, it wasn't virtual numbers, it was 300,000 yuan that was actually deposited into his bank account!

"Fuck..."

He suddenly stood up from the sofa, paced back and forth in the living room twice, then sat back down, reopened his mobile banking app, and looked at the transaction record over and over again.

The numbers are still there.

The balance is still there.

"Hahaha...hahaha!"

Wang Hao suddenly burst out laughing, first a suppressed chuckle, then louder and louder, until he was practically laughing out loud in the living room.

As I laughed, my eyes welled up with tears again.

For the past seven days, he has spent countless nights with a group of virtual characters, sharing their anxieties, solving problems, and living on tenterhooks...

He thought it was just a game.

But now, 300,000 yuan in real money has been deposited into his account.

This is fucking...

Wang Hao took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.

He sat back down on the sofa, picked up his phone, and looked at the icon for "Behind the Scenes".

On the game interface, Xingyue Media's company account still has a deposit of 90,000 yuan, but the remaining balance of 230,000 yuan will take three business days to arrive.

The "Showing Initial Talent" mission is complete.

Wang Hao clicked on the task details and saw that the status had indeed changed to "Completed".

Below is a line of smaller print: The reward has been sent to the linked bank card.

"Ah..." Wang Hao let out a long breath and slumped onto the sofa.

I have the money to go home for the Chinese New Year.

I have the down payment for the car.

There might even be a large sum left over...

But at this moment, the first thing that came to his mind wasn't buying a car, or going home to show off, but rather—

Those seven people.

Those seven people who fought alongside him in the game for seven days.

Those seven people who treated him as their real boss and genuinely worked for him.

Wang Hao sat up straight and picked up his phone again.

He opened Zhou Jianjun's private chat window in the game and his fingers rapidly tapped on the screen:

"Manager Zhou, the event was a complete success. Thank you all for your hard work."

"Now I'll tell you three things."

"First, starting tomorrow, everyone will have two days off. You've all been exhausted these past seven days and need a good rest."

"Secondly, the prize money for the event will be distributed today. Each person will receive 10,000 yuan as an additional reward for this project."

"Third, if everyone still has the energy, the company will pay for a team building activity. You can choose the location, and the company will reimburse everything you want to eat or do."

"Zhang Wei can be in charge of arranging the team building activities; he's good at that."

"Pass these three things down. Also, tell everyone—this event was a fantastic success, and I'm so proud to have a team like yours."

After sending the message, Wang Hao put down his phone and walked to the window.

The afternoon sun was lovely, shining warmly through the glass.

Looking out the window at the bustling streets, the turbulent emotions in his heart gradually subsided, replaced by a profound sense of satisfaction.

I've got 300,000.

But more importantly—it seems he really has a team now.

A team that is worth his effort and genuinely cares about him.

Even if it's just in a game.

My phone vibrated.

Wang Hao walked back and picked up his phone; it was Zhou Jianjun's reply.

The message was quite long, and it was clear that Zhou Jianjun had typed it in several parts:

"Boss, I received your message."

"First of all, on behalf of the entire team, I would like to express our sincerest gratitude to you."

"The success of this event is inseparable from your trust and support. From the 50,000 yuan reserve fund to the 2,000 yuan daily meal allowance, from not asking about the details to fully supporting the plan... we remember all of this."

"I will now inform everyone of the three things you instructed me to do."

"In addition, I would also like to say something personally—I, Zhou Jianjun, have been with the company for so many years and have met quite a few bosses."

"But you are the first boss who gives both money and respect, and delegates authority while also taking responsibility."

"It is our honor to work under your guidance."

"Thank you, boss."

Wang Hao felt a lump in his throat as he read these words.

He replied, "Don't say that, you guys did a good job. Go tell everyone, I want to see everyone happy."

"Understood, boss."

……

Inside a private room at the restaurant.

Zhou Jianjun put down his phone and took a deep breath.

He looked up at the six people who were still eating and chatting.

"Everyone, please stop for a moment." Zhou Jianjun's voice wasn't loud, but the private room immediately fell silent.

Everyone looked at him.

Zhou Jianjun looked around, a rare, genuine smile spreading across his face:

"I just received a message from the boss."

"The boss gave three instructions regarding this event."

Zhang Wei's eyes lit up: "What did the boss say?"

Zhou Jianjun cleared his throat and said, word by word:

"First, starting tomorrow, everyone will have two days off. The boss said that everyone has been too tired these past seven days and needs a good rest."

The private room fell silent for a moment.

Then Chen Ming spoke first, his voice somewhat incredulous: "Two...two days off?"

"Yes, paid leave." Zhou Jianjun nodded.

"Holy crap!" Lei Zhen slammed his hand on the table. "The boss's awesome!"

Lin Wei pushed up her glasses, didn't say anything, but the corners of her mouth clearly turned up.

Sister Wang paused for a moment, then smiled: "It's time to take a rest..."

Yu Xinxin whispered, "I...I can take this opportunity to tidy up the house..."

Zhang Wei grinned: "Sure! I'll sleep in tomorrow!"

After everyone quieted down, Zhou Jianjun continued:

"Secondly, the prize money for the event will be distributed today. Each person will receive 10,000 yuan as an additional reward for this project."
