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

The private room fell completely silent.

A deathly silence.

Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at Zhou Jianjun, as if they hadn't heard what he said.

Ten thousand?

Ten thousand per person?

Seven people equals seventy thousand!

In addition to previous project commissions, base salary, and various subsidies...

Each person could potentially earn close to 20,000 from this order!

Chen Ming's hands trembled slightly. He picked up his water glass and took a sip, but his eyes remained fixed on Zhou Jianjun.

"Manager Zhou, are you... are you sure it's ten thousand? Per person?"

"Confirmed." Zhou Jianjun nodded. "The boss said it himself."

"My God..." Sister Wang took off her glasses, rubbed her eyes, "Ten thousand...this...this bonus amount..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood what she meant—it was too high.

That's ridiculously high.

The standards are far too high for a small startup company to set.

Zhang Wei opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he just clenched his fist tightly, his eyes a little red.

He thought of his previous bosses, those who withheld commissions and found all sorts of excuses to reduce bonuses...

I also thought of Wang Hao—the boss who approved 50,000 yuan in reserve funds without hesitation, gave out 2,000 yuan in meal allowances every day without a second thought, and now directly gives out 10,000 yuan in bonuses.

"The boss..." Zhang Wei's voice was a little hoarse, "He really is..."

"That's wonderful!" Yu Xinxin exclaimed, her voice trembling with tears. "I... I'm so worried about my mortgage this month... ten thousand... I..."

She couldn't continue, lowered her head, and tears fell into the bowl.

Lin Wei was silent for a few seconds, then said softly, "It's worth it."

Just two words.

But everyone understood what she meant—a boss like that was worth risking their lives for.

Lei Zhen nodded vigorously: "Worth it! Absolutely worth it!"

Looking at everyone, Zhou Jianjun felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

He waited until everyone calmed down before continuing:

"Third, if everyone still has the energy, the company will pay for a team building activity."

"You decide the location, and whatever you want to eat or do, the company will reimburse you for everything."

"The boss specifically said that Zhang Wei can be in charge of arranging the team building activities, as he is familiar with this area."

Zhang Wei suddenly looked up: "Me?"

"Yes, you." Zhou Jianjun nodded with a smile. "The boss specifically asked you to make the arrangements. How about it, any good places?"

Zhang Wei paused for two seconds, then his excitement returned:

Yes, there is! Absolutely!

"I know a place that's perfect for us to go to right now—a huge public bathhouse! No, it should be called a hot spring resort!"

He stood up and gestured wildly:

"That place is huge! It has hot spring pools, separate for men and women. A soak there will wash away all the fatigue of the past few days!"

"There's also a buffet—seafood, barbecue, fruit, desserts...eat as much as you want!"

"The rest area has billiards, pool, game consoles, and you can even watch movies!"

"Most importantly—it includes a massage! A professional one, with exceptionally good technique! After a good night's sleep, you'll feel absolutely refreshed the next day!"

Zhang Wei became more and more excited as he spoke:

"Let's go today! Take a bath, have a good meal, get a massage, and take a nap! Tomorrow we can sleep in until we naturally wake up, and then everyone can go home and rest!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at everyone and asked, "So? Are you going or not?"

The private room was silent for a few seconds.

Chen Ming spoke first, hesitating slightly: "I...I have to go pick up my daughter..."

"Take it with you!" Zhang Wei said immediately.

"That place also has a children's area, with toys and cartoons, so kids can play there!"

"And..." Zhang Wei lowered his voice and winked:

"Brother Chen, just think about it, if you take your daughter to a bathhouse, get a massage, and have a nice meal... how happy would she be?"

Chen Ming paused for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "Yeah...yes..."

Sister Wang adjusted her glasses and asked rationally:

"What about the cost? Seven people... plus Chen Ming's daughter, that's eight people. One night of food, drinks, and entertainment must have cost a lot, right?"

"The boss said the company will reimburse everything!" Zhang Wei patted his chest confidently.

"Besides, I have a membership there, so I get discounts! It's only three or four hundred per person, so for eight people it's at most three thousand!"

"Three thousand..." Sister Wang nodded, "That's alright, it's within the budget."

Lin Wei calmly asked, "How's the environment? Is it noisy?"

"Quiet! Very quiet!" Zhang Wei quickly said:

"The rest area consists of individual cubicles, one for each person, with curtains, ensuring absolute quiet!"

Lei Zhen grinned: "A game console? I'm going!"

Yu Xinxin whispered, "I...I've never been to a place like this before...Could it be...?"

"Oh, Xin Xin, don't worry!" Zhang Wei waved his hand.

"That place is very reputable! Lots of office workers and families go there! You'll see when you get there, it's incredibly relaxing!"

Zhou Jianjun watched the discussion and smiled, "Looks like everyone's quite interested?"

Chen Ming nodded: "I...I'll go. I'll bring my daughter with me; she needs to relax too."

Lin Wei: "Go."

Lei Zhen: "We have to go!"

Sister Wang: "Okay, I'll go relax too. My neck has been hurting a lot these past few days, so a massage will be good."

Yu Xinxin blushed and whispered, "Then...then I'll go too..."

"Great!" Zhang Wei slammed his hand on the table excitedly. "It's settled then! I'll call and reserve a table right now!"

"Wait a minute," Zhou Jianjun called out to him, "Don't rush."

He looked at everyone and said earnestly:

"Today is a celebration banquet, and team building is an extra perk."

"The boss has given us so much, and we must live up to his trust."

"My suggestion is—let's go back to the company this afternoon and finish all the wrap-up work for the event. File what needs to be filed, process the reimbursements, and summarize what needs to be summarized."

"Once everything is clean and tidy, we can go do team building activities. That way, we can have fun without worry and sleep soundly."

"How is it?"

Chen Ming was the first to nod: "I agree. We'll play after we finish our work, so we won't feel guilty."

Lin Wei: "Okay."

Lei Zhen: "Okay! Let's eat quickly, then go back to the company and get back to work!"

Sister Wang smiled: "Manager Zhou has considered everything carefully. That's how it should be."

Yu Xinxin nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

Zhang Wei scratched his head: "That's true... Okay then! Let's get this over with quickly! We'll head back to the company after we finish eating and try to get all the remaining work done in two hours!"

"And then—" he raised his drink glass, "go for a bath! Have a big meal! Get a massage! Sleep in!"

"Okay!" everyone responded in unison, and the glasses clinked together again.

This time, the clinking of glasses was exceptionally loud.

There's a sense of accomplishment from completing a major project, the joy of receiving a generous bonus, gratitude towards the boss, and anticipation for the upcoming relaxation.

Looking at the six smiling faces in front of him, Zhou Jianjun's last bit of the sense of alienation he felt as a "veteran in the workplace" completely dissipated.

He picked up the cup and took a small sip.

The tea had gone cold, but my heart was warm.

This kind of team, this kind of boss...

very nice.
