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

When Wang Hao heard Yu Xinxin's grateful "Boss, you're so kind" in the rented room, he couldn't help but smile.

This girl is honest and speaks very nicely.

Without delay, he immediately began calling out names:

"Next... Sister Wang, you're in finance. Is there anything you need the company to support in your work, or in the finance department?"

Inside the conference room, the electronic voice continued smoothly:

Sister Wang, finance is the lifeblood of the company; it's of utmost importance.

What specific needs do you have for this position, or what suggestions do you have for optimizing the company's financial processes? Please feel free to share.

Wang Jie was taken aback when she was suddenly called out.

To be honest, the company only has a few people and the business volume is not large, so her accounting job is quite easy. The new boss pays her a decent salary, so she is actually quite satisfied.

But seeing how readily the boss approved Yu Xinxin's course and how confidently he spoke, she had an idea and, with a try-it-and-see attitude, said:

"Boss, it's like this."

"Although the company's business volume is not large at present, the cash flow for daily reimbursements and sporadic purchases is relatively frequent."

"We are currently using a combination of regular electronic invoices and paper documents. Over time, this has become inconvenient for archiving and auditing, and it is also prone to errors."

"I suggest...we can purchase a professional online financial reimbursement and voucher management system."

"This way, all processes can be done online, with invoices scanned and uploaded, automatically linked, clearly archived, and very convenient to query, which can greatly improve efficiency and standardization."

She paused, as if carefully choosing her words, before adding:

"Well... these kinds of systems are usually charged annually, and the price... can be a bit expensive, around 100,000 yuan per year."

After saying that, she herself was feeling uneasy.

100,000!

For a small company of their size, this is an astronomical luxury expenditure.

That money is enough to hire another person.

She brought this up, with the high-sounding reason that it was to standardize processes and improve efficiency.

Actually, I wanted to free myself from the tedious work of organizing paper receipts and make my work easier.

But even the thought of earning 100,000 a year made her feel like she was dreaming!

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jianjun, who was standing nearby, immediately shook his head inwardly.

For a small company to buy this thing is simply a case of being ripped off.

The others exchanged bewildered glances, feeling that Sister Wang's request was far too outrageous!

No matter how hard the boss is thinking, there's no way he would agree to that.

"..."

Inside the rented room, Wang Hao didn't even blink when he heard "100,000 yuan".

100,000? That's just a penny in the game.

Moreover, Sister Wang's suggestion sounds quite reasonable!

Corporate financial compliance is indeed important, and online system management sounds much more sophisticated!

It can also reduce errors, which is a good thing in the long run.

He barely hesitated before speaking directly into the phone:

"That's a good suggestion, approve it!"

In the conference room, the electronic voice followed immediately, without any pause, decisive and resolute:

[This suggestion is excellent and is hereby adopted.]

Sister Wang, the company's financial security and compliance depend on you. With you in charge, I feel very secure.

Please contact a suitable system service provider as soon as possible to resolve this matter.

As soon as he finished speaking, the conference room fell into dead silence again, as if even the air had frozen.

Sister Wang froze on the spot, her eyes wide open, completely unaware that the pen in her hand had fallen onto the notebook with a "thud".

Approved?

The annual fee of 100,000 yuan was approved so easily?

Moreover, the boss even said things like "financial security is in your hands" and "with you in charge, I feel very secure."

……

This feeling of being completely trusted and entrusted with important responsibilities rushed into her heart like a warm current.

Having worked for so many years, she has seen all sorts of bosses—the stingy, the calculating, the ones who wish they could split every penny in half.

Approving an expenditure of 100,000 without even blinking is unheard of!

That's a whopping 100,000 in real money!

The usual amiable smile on Zhou Jianjun's face completely disappeared.

One hundred thousand yuan?

Who exactly is this boss?

If they are truly so wealthy and powerful, why would they acquire such a struggling small company?

This makes absolutely no sense!

Besides shock, a deeper sense of apprehension and curiosity began to grow in his heart.

The reactions of others in the office also subtly changed.

If before it was a cautious wait-and-see attitude, with a bit of skepticism and a bit of a spectator's mentality, now, after the shock of Yu Xinxin and Sister Wang's two "outrageous" requests being readily approved, a mixed feeling of excitement, eagerness, and disbelief has begun to spread.

This boss... seems really different?

He doesn't care about those rules and regulations, whether the demands are "reasonable," or even about the money.

Whether he was genuinely foolish or had ulterior motives, at least at this moment, his "always ready to help" attitude stirred everyone's hearts.

Perhaps... I should really give that difficult question that I've been holding back all this time a try?

Just as everyone's thoughts were racing and emotions were churning, the electronic voice continued calling roll without pause. The voice was calm and even, yet it carried an invisible pressure:

[Next, Chen Ming. Tell me about your situation.]

When Chen Ming, the after-sales representative, was called out, his body trembled almost imperceptibly.

He looked up at the glowing screen, his lips moved a few times, and a clear struggle and hesitation flashed across his face.

His situation is different from Yu Xinxin's and Sister Wang's.

As someone who works in after-sales service, he has no requirements for the company's equipment. What troubles him are more personal and practical life problems.

He got divorced, and his daughter stayed with him.

Every day, he has to go to work and also take on the responsibility of caring for his daughter all by himself.

His daughter goes to kindergarten, and he has to drop her off in the morning and pick her up promptly at four o'clock in the afternoon.

Kindergarten ends early, while company employees leave work much later.

Previously, the company's management was lax, and he could occasionally sneak out for a while or find an excuse to leave early.

But after the new boss arrived, with salary increases and stricter regulations, he clearly felt the atmosphere was different and no longer dared to be as casual as before.

This job is close to home and the pay is quite good in today's environment; he absolutely cannot give it up.

Picking up his daughter is a responsibility he cannot shirk.

Torn between two extremes.

He gritted his teeth, his Adam's apple bobbed, and finally spoke, his voice noticeably hoarse:

"Boss... I do have a personal request."

"I know this may not comply with company policy, and... it may put you in a difficult position, but I do have my own difficulties."

He paused, as if gathering his courage or organizing his thoughts, then spoke a little faster:

"That's right, I... I'm raising my daughter alone."

"She's still in kindergarten, and she gets out of school at four o'clock every afternoon, so I have to pick her up."

"The child is young and needs constant care."

"So...so I might need to leave the company a little earlier each afternoon around four o'clock."

As if afraid of being rejected, he hurriedly added, raising his voice slightly:

"But I promise! I can improve my work efficiency or work overtime at night to finish all the work that needs to be done, and I will absolutely not delay the work progress in any way! Please believe me!"

This is his most genuine inner struggle, and also his most pressing predicament.

I can't lose my job, and I can't neglect my daughter.

This seemingly simple request for flexible time was of paramount importance to him.

After he finished speaking, an unusual silence fell over the office.

As colleagues, we all knew more or less about Chen Ming's situation, and we felt understanding and sympathy for him.

The hardships of being a single father are self-evident.

However, this requirement is indeed somewhat sensitive in workplace rules.

This isn't about applying for money to buy equipment or courses; it's about requesting a change to fixed working hours.

If this door is opened, will others also be able to demand flexible working hours for various reasons?

How can the company be managed then?
