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

Wang Hao listened silently.

"So if I were the boss, I would try to give everyone a little more within the budget," Wu Liang concluded.

"But there has to be a limit to this 'a lot.' Posting too much is actually not good."

"I understand." Wang Hao nodded.

He understood.

I originally planned to give each person 50,000 – since game currency isn't worth much, one yuan is equivalent to one million.

But after listening to Wu Liang's words, he felt that they made sense.

I've only been in charge of the company for a month, and I just gave everyone a 10,000 yuan bonus for activities a while ago. They've also been giving us plenty of regular salaries and subsidies.

If they were to issue another 50,000, it would indeed be a bit...

Let's make it 30,000 then.

Each person pays 30,000, so seven people would pay 210,000.

In the game, it costs 210,000, but in reality, it's only 21 cents.

Thinking of this, Wang Hao couldn't help but smile again.

"What are you grinning about?" Wu Liang asked.

"It's nothing." Wang Hao quickly composed himself. "I just think... you're right."

The car arrived at the entrance of the residential complex where Wang Hao rented an apartment.

Wu Liang pulled the car over to the side of the road, and the two of them got out and carried out the New Year's goods.

"Thanks, Liangzi." Wang Hao, carrying two boxes of oranges, asked, "What time tomorrow?"

"Around nine o'clock," Wu Liang said. "I'll pick you up, and we'll go straight to the 4S store."

"OK."

Wu Liang opened the car door, then turned back and added:

"By the way, Haozi, you should really think about buying a car."

"If you have enough money, you should definitely consider buying a better one. It'll make you look good when you go home for the New Year."

"Got it." Wang Hao waved his hand with a smile.

After watching Wu Liang's car drive away, Wang Hao turned around and walked into the residential area.

"..."

At 19:00 PM, Wang Hao returned to his apartment.

Two boxes of oranges and a roll of toilet paper were piled up in the entryway. He glanced at them, but instead of tidying them up, he went straight to the sofa, sat down, and took out his phone.

The icon for "Behind the Scenes" is lit up on the screen.

He opened the game and found Zhou Jianjun's private chat box.

"Manager Zhou, are you there?"

After sending the message, Zhou Jianjun replied after about a minute:

"Yes, boss."

Wang Hao typed:

"The Chinese New Year is approaching, so the company needs to make arrangements for year-end bonuses."

"Each person will receive 30,000 yuan as a year-end bonus."

"In addition, I plan to go back to my hometown on the 12th day of the twelfth lunar month (that is, December 19th), and the company will also start the annual holiday at the same time."

"Work will resume on the tenth day of the first lunar month, a total of 22 days, with paid leave."

"In addition to the bonus, each person will be given a budget of 2,000 yuan for New Year's goods."

"Tomorrow morning, you and Sister Wang will go shopping for some New Year's goods. See what everyone needs and buy some practical items."

"After you start work tomorrow, pass on these instructions, and then coordinate with Sister Wang to ensure that the bonuses and the budget for New Year's goods are properly arranged."

After sending the message, Zhou Jianjun quickly replied:

"Understood, boss. I'll get started first thing tomorrow morning."

"Also... I thank you on behalf of everyone. A year-end bonus of 30,000 is really rare in a small company."

Wang Hao replied, "Of course, everyone has worked hard."

He exited the chat with Zhou Jianjun and then clicked on Sister Wang's profile picture.

"Sister Wang, I just talked to Supervisor Zhou about the year-end bonus."

"30,000 each, to be distributed tomorrow."

"In addition, each person has a budget of 2,000 yuan for New Year's goods. Manager Zhou will coordinate the purchase with you tomorrow."

"Is there a problem with you transferring these funds from the company account?"

Sister Wang replied almost instantly:

"No problem, boss!"

"Thank you! In all my years in this industry, I've never met a boss as generous as you."

"I'll definitely get this done tomorrow!"

Wang Hao looked at the message, smiled, and replied, "Thank you for your hard work."

He quit the game, tossed his phone onto the sofa, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Get it done.

A bonus of 30,000 yuan, 22 days of paid leave, and 2,000 yuan worth of New Year's goods.

That should be enough for them to have a good New Year.

……

The doorbell rang at 8:30 the next morning.

Wang Hao had just finished washing up when he opened the door. Wu Liang was standing outside, holding soy milk and steamed buns.

"Eat breakfast quickly." Wu Liang handed him the food. "After you eat, go check on the car."

The two quickly finished breakfast in the living room and left home at 9:00 sharp.

However, Wu Liang didn't drive today; the two of them took a taxi.

Upon arriving at the destination, Wang Hao looked at both domestically produced electric vehicles and joint-venture gasoline vehicles, but he still felt that something was missing.

During lunch, Wu Liang asked, "How did it go? Did you find anything you liked?"

Wang Hao shook his head: "They're all fine, but..."

"Got it." Wu Liang grinned. "Let's go check out the BMW."

In the afternoon, the two went into the BMW 4S store.

The sales consultant enthusiastically introduced the car models.

Wang Hao immediately took a liking to the 3 Series, but the dealership did not have a 325 in stock; only the top-of-the-line 330 was available.

"Haozi, the 330 is a bit pricey, but it has better features and we have them in stock," Wu Liang said from the side.

"Since we've already come this far, a few tens of thousands won't make a difference."

Wang Hao thought about it and agreed.

Now that I have money, I'll buy a nicer one and drive it home; it'll make me look good.

"Then let's go with 330, and apply for a loan."

Wang Hao could pay in full, but taking out a loan would be cheaper. Besides, it would be easier to explain, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain why he had so much money.

The rest of the process was quick.

After signing the contract, applying for a loan, and paying the down payment, Wang Hao drove out his black BMW 330 around 3 p.m.

Sitting in his new car and touching the steering wheel, Wang Hao felt a sense of comfort.

"Awesome, Haozi!" Wu Liang, sitting in the passenger seat, patted the center console.

"You're already driving it?"

Wang Hao smiled and started the car.

"Where to next?" Wu Liang asked.

Wang Hao: "Going home?"

"Go home for what!" Wu Liang said.

"We've already bought the car, so we should at least buy a couple of decent outfits. Let's go to the mall."

Wang Hao was a little confused: "Why buy clothes?"

"What do you mean?" Wu Liang glanced at him sideways. "Haozi, we look alike, don't we? We're both good-looking."

"Look how many girls I've dated over the years!"

"And you?"

"I know you have some entanglements with Su Qing, and you can't let her go."

"But Haozi, that's all in the past. We have to move on."

"Now that you have a car, if you dress up a bit, what kind of girl can't you find?"

"You're not getting any younger. Hurry up and find someone suitable in the next year or two, and get married."

Wang Hao was silent for a few seconds, then realized that Wu Liang's words made sense.

"Okay, whatever you say."

The two drove to the mall, and Wu Liang, familiar with the area, led Wang Hao to several men's clothing stores, where they picked out two outfits.

It has to be said that Wu Liang has a good eye; the clothes he picked all fit Wang Hao perfectly.

After buying clothes, Wu Liang dragged him to get a haircut.

After leaving the barbershop, Wang Hao looked much more energetic.

"How is it?" he asked Wu Liang.

Wu Liang looked him up and down: "Handsome! This really looks like the real deal."

The two carried their shopping bags back to the parking lot and got into their car.

Wang Hao looked at himself in the rearview mirror: new hairstyle, new clothes, sitting in a new car.

Just a month ago, he was still worried about the electricity bill.

just now……

He smiled and started the car.

This year should be a good one.
