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

Sister Wang smiled sincerely.

"Mr. Qian, don't worry."

"This salary range is completely reasonable. On behalf of the company, I assure you that we will not only not reduce salaries, but we will also fully supplement employee benefits, such as social insurance and housing fund, at the highest standards to ensure the rights and interests of every employee."

Hearing Sister Wang's personal assurance, Qian Hongfa finally felt relieved.

"Thank you...really, thank you all!" He nodded repeatedly, too moved to know what to say.

"Um... I have to go now. I... I'll go say hello to them. You guys come with me too, I'll introduce you to them, they're all very nice people."

"Of course," Zhang Wei nodded. "Now that we're all colleagues, we should get to know each other."

The group got up and walked back towards the workshop.

Upon arriving at the workshop, Qian Hongfa walked to the center and clapped his hands vigorously.

"Everyone, stop what you're doing and come over here for a moment!"

The roar of the machines gradually subsided, and the eight workers wiped the oil off their hands, looking somewhat bewildered as they gathered around.

Looking at the eight familiar faces in front of him, Qian Hongfa took a deep breath, his eyes reddening.

"Brothers."

His voice was a little hoarse when he opened his mouth.

"I'm sure you've all heard some rumors about my situation."

"Right now... I really have no other choice. I've already transferred ownership of this factory."

As soon as he finished speaking, the workers were in an uproar, their faces filled with shock and unease.

"From now on," he gestured to Wang Hao and his group behind him, "you'll all be working for this new company. They're Xingyue Media, a very powerful company."

"Don't worry, everyone. I've already talked to the new boss, and everyone's salary will be paid in full!"

"Benefits and compensation will only get better in the future!"

In the end, he could no longer control his emotions, and his voice choked with sobs.

"It's my fault for being incompetent, I've let everyone down..."

"I hope everyone will do well in their new companies."

His words struck the workers like a boulder.

A veteran worker who looked to be around fifty years old with a weathered face came out. His name was Zhang Dehai, and he was the most senior worker in the factory.

"Boss!" he said urgently.

"You...you've encountered some kind of trouble?"

"If you're short of money, you don't have to pay us our salaries for the next few months!"

"I still have some savings at home, I'll bring you some! Let's get through this together!"

"Yes, boss!" Another worker named Li Jianguo stepped forward; he was the same Old Li that Qian Hongfa had just mentioned.

"Boss, my mother was hospitalized two years ago. If you hadn't lent me 30,000 yuan without hesitation, I really wouldn't know what to do."

"The factory is in trouble now, how can we just stand by and do nothing? We don't even need our wages, as long as the factory can stay open!"

"Boss, don't go!"

"We'll work with you to figure out a solution!"

Several workers were talking at once, and some even took out their phones to transfer money.

This isn't acting; it's a genuine outpouring of emotion from the heart.

They appreciate the kindness their boss shows them.

Wang Hao stood aside, quietly watching this scene, deeply moved.

He knew that what he was buying today was not just a factory, but a team with soul and passion.

Qian Hongfa was moved to tears by the scene before him, but he kept waving his hands.

"Old Zhang, Old Li, you don't understand... the money I need can't be solved with just a little bit."

"Keep your money for supporting your families."

"Besides, it's pointless to say all this now. The contract has already been signed."

He wiped away his tears, forced himself to cheer up, and nudged Zhang Wei next to him with his elbow.

That meant they wanted Zhang Wei to say a few words to calm everyone down.

Zhang Wei understood immediately and stepped forward.

"Hey guys, colleagues!"

His voice was loud and sincere.

"From today onwards, we are all one family at Xingyue Media."

"Boss Qian really had no choice because of some personal matters."

"I understand how you all feel; we're all just working people. To be honest, seeing how loyal and devoted you all are to Boss Qian, I admire you from the bottom of my heart!"

"Our company needs loyal and righteous brothers like you!"

"But don't worry, everyone! From now on, we'll all be brothers stirring the same pot!"

"The work schedule and salary will remain unchanged! Our benefits, including social insurance, housing fund, and various subsidies, will only increase, not decrease!"

"Our boss, like Boss Qian, is a good boss!"

"Boss Qian is facing difficulties now, but I think for someone like Boss Qian, these difficulties are only temporary."

"He...will definitely make a comeback one day!"

After Zhang Wei finished speaking, Qian Hongfa patted the shoulders of Lao Zhang, Lao Li, and the other veteran workers one by one. Finally, he took a deep look at the place where he had worked hard for more than ten years, then suddenly turned around and strode towards the door.

His back was resolute; he didn't turn around.

He was afraid that if he stayed even a minute longer, he wouldn't be able to leave.

Watching Qian Hongfa's figure disappear through the door, Zhang Wei felt a pang of sadness.

He turned to the workers and said:

"Alright, everyone, let's get back to work. We can leave on time today."

"We will send someone over tomorrow to officially take over the company's specific affairs."

"Everyone's employment contracts will be renewed. We'll strive to implement the new benefits program for everyone by tomorrow!"

Finally, he turned his gaze to the old master who had spoken first.

"You're Master Zhang, right?"

"Yes, that's right." Old Zhang nodded.

"Thank you for your hard work today. You're one of the most experienced workers here, and also the team leader."

"After get off work, you and everyone else lock all the doors and windows in the factory area. Our people will come first thing tomorrow morning."

Although Old Zhang's feelings were still complicated, he nodded solemnly.

"Okay, don't worry."

After explaining everything, Wang Hao and the other three left the factory.

On the way back, Wang Hao leaned back in his seat and quietly opened the game panel.

Two lines of task progress bars are clearly visible.

[Company Upgrade Task]

[1. Employee favorability exceeded 60% (completed)]

[2. Recruit 20 full-time employees (8/20)]

【3. Own a corporate entity (1/1) (Completed)】

Sure enough, the "corporate entity" requirement was completed.

But why is there no response from the employees?

Why is it still 8/20?

Are the factory workers not considered his employees?

That doesn't make sense!

(P.S.: This is the fourth update today. Thank you all for the gifts, I'm really grateful!)
