Chapter 262 The Annual Meeting Begins

When the security guard saw Li Yichen, he immediately stood at attention and saluted, his movements as precise as if he were in a military parade.

"Hello, Mr. Li!"

Good morning, Mr. Li!

Three security guards in a row, with the same action and the same expression.

Miao Miao blinked her big eyes and tugged at Li Niannian's sleeve: "Sister, why are they so polite to brother?"

Li Niannian stammered, her mind racing, but she still couldn't figure out how to answer.

You can't exactly say your brother is the boss of these 50,000+ people, can you? Miao Miao is still young; she wouldn't understand if you said that!

"Maybe...maybe it's because my brother is handsome?"

Li Yichen almost burst out laughing when he heard this, and patted Miao Miao's head: "Let's go, let's go inside and talk."

Inside the stadium, the noise was deafening.

The stage was packed with over 50,000 people, a sea of heads. A huge LED screen hung in the center of the stage, and the sound equipment on both sides was piled up like small mountains.

"My God..." Li Niannian stood at the entrance, completely dumbfounded. "How many people are there?"

Miao Miao jumped up excitedly: "So many people! Even more than when we went to the amusement park last time!"

"It's much more than an amusement park." Li Yichen led Miaomiao to the first row. "It costs about fifty thousand."

Li Niannian followed behind, her steps a little unsteady.

The biggest scene she had ever witnessed in her life was her high school graduation ceremony, which only had about a thousand people. The densely packed crowd in front of her now gave her the illusion of being at a concert.

The first row is all VIP seats, occupied by the company's top executives.

Liu Ruyan was already sitting there. When she saw Li Yichen walk over, she nodded and said with a hint of complaint, "I still have a lot of things to do, but you had to drag me over here."

"Thousands of people are here, it wouldn't be right for you not to come," Li Yichen said, sitting down next to her. "Besides, there's a lucky draw today with a minimum prize of ten thousand! Don't you want it?"

"The bonus can be deposited into your account; there's no need to collect it here." Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes, but couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile.

Li Niannian sat on the other side of Li Yichen and looked around.

She was surrounded by impeccably dressed, elite individuals whose powerful aura made her afraid to even breathe. She secretly whispered in Li Yichen's ear, "Brother, these people...are they all company leaders, right?"

"Yeah, pretty much."

"and you……"

"Shh." Li Yichen made a shushing gesture. "You'll see in a moment."

Miao Miao wasn't afraid at all. After sitting down, she looked around and pointed her little finger at the big screen in front of her: "Brother, look, that screen is so big!"

"There's something even better coming up," Li Yichen said with a smile. "You'd better sit still and don't wander off."

"I know!" Miao Miao nodded obediently. "The teacher said we have to be quiet while watching the performance."

Li Niannian quickly added, "Yes, when the annual party starts later, speak quietly."

The middle rows are where the administration department is located.

Xue Shanshan sat with her colleagues, surrounded by familiar faces.

"Shanshan, how's your recovery going?" a colleague asked with concern.

"Everything's fine now, thank you for your concern," Xue Shanshan replied with a smile.

Another colleague joked, "Now that you're feeling better, you'd better be energetic today, or you'll miss out on the big prize."

"I'm not hoping for a big prize, I'll be perfectly happy with just a small one!"

"You might not be hoping for it, but I'm definitely hoping for it," my colleague said mysteriously, leaning closer. "The grand prize is a villa worth ten million! And there are ten spots for the two-million-dollar houses. If I could win a two-million-dollar house, I'd be laughing in my sleep every night!"

"Then I wish you all your dreams come true!"

"You too, I wish all of us good luck!"

Xue Shanshan's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously looked around, trying to see if she could find Li Yichen.

Will Brother Li also attend the annual meeting?

"What are you looking for?" Her colleague noticed her movements.

"No...it's nothing." Xue Shanshan quickly looked away. "It's just that it's my first time participating in such a big event, so I'm a little nervous."

"What's there to be nervous about? It's just a raffle, a meal, and a show," her colleague patted her on the shoulder. "Relax."

Xue Shanshan nodded, but she couldn't help thinking: I wish Brother Li were here.

The rear row area.

Liu Bing and Han Fei, dressed in security guard uniforms, walked back and forth in the crowd.

"This job is really good," Liu Bing said in a low voice. "You can go wherever you want, and nobody will bother you."

Han Fei chuckled and replied, "Shall we go for a stroll in the front row later? Maybe we can catch Brother Chen's speech."

Do you think Brother Chen will take the stage?

"Of course he will. It wouldn't be right for the boss not to show up for such a big event." Han Fei said smugly. "The two of us will stand at the very front and cheer for Brother Chen."

"Okay, we'll try to squeeze forward when we get a chance."

The two talked as they moved to the front row, their faces full of anticipation.

Nine o'clock sharp.

The lights in the stadium suddenly went out.

The huge LED screen lit up, and the stunning visuals, accompanied by rousing music, instantly silenced the entire stadium.

The screen displayed the company's development over the past year: from the release of the first-generation Thor battery, to the launch of the artificial intelligence system, to the later chip release, and then to the successive emergence of various cutting-edge technology products. Every frame was exhilarating.

More than 50,000 people held their breath, their eyes fixed on the screen.

When the image froze on the company logo, the entire audience erupted in thunderous applause.

"Holy crap! That's so awesome!"

"Our company is awesome!"

"Who can argue with that? It's only been established for less than a year, and it's already become a shell company in the Great Xia!"

The applause lasted for a full half minute before gradually subsiding.

A spotlight illuminated the center of the stage.

Ji Yanran, dressed in a well-fitting formal suit, walked onto the stage, radiating brilliance under the spotlight. She picked up the microphone, her voice clear and crisp: "Good morning, everyone from the Future Technology Group family!"

"good!"

The audience erupted in applause and cheers once again.

After the applause subsided, Ji Yanran continued, "Today is our company's first annual meeting, and it's also the first time that our more than 50,000 employees have gathered together."

The employees in the audience listened attentively, and some even took out their phones to record.

"Over the past six months, our company has grown from nothing to something, from small to large, and has achieved remarkable success." Ji Yanran's voice was full of emotion. "Behind these achievements is the hard work of every member of our family here."

"So today, the company wants to properly thank everyone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience cheered again.

Ji Yanran smiled and continued, "The budget for this year's annual meeting is—"

She paused deliberately, whetting everyone's appetite.

"Ten billion!"

"Holy crap, it really is 10 billion!"

"Awesome, boss is awesome!"

The entire venue erupted instantly.

Screams, cheers, and the sound of tables being slammed all mixed together, almost lifting the roof off the entire stadium.

In the media reporters' area, countless camera shutters were flashing wildly.

The live stream chat exploded with comments:

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!"

"Ten billion? What kind of incredible company is this?!"

"I'm so jealous! I'm so envious!"

"Is it too late to submit my resume now?"

As Xue Shanshan watched Ji Yanran speak on stage, she thought to herself, "Ji Yanran's current achievements are something that many women can only dream of and never attain in their lifetime."

My colleague next to me stood up excitedly: "We've struck it rich! We've really struck it rich this time!"

After the room quieted down, Ji Yanran announced the lottery rules: "The grand prize is a villa worth ten million!"

"Wow!"

"Ten million?!"

"First prize: ten properties worth two million!"

"There's even a house?!"

"Second prize: Fifty luxury cars worth 500,000 yuan each!"

"Luxury car!"

"Third prize: 100,000 RMB cash to 500 winners! Fourth prize: 50,000 RMB cash to 1,000 winners!"

The entire audience went completely wild.

Some people jumped up from their seats in excitement, some high-fived their colleagues in celebration, and some were almost in tears.

Xue Shanshan's colleague grabbed her hand, her voice trembling: "Shanshan, did you hear that? The lowest prize is fifth prize! Everyone is guaranteed at least 10,000!"

"Each person has two chances to win a prize. Even if both are fifth prizes, that's still 20,000!" Another colleague said excitedly, his face turning red.

Xue Shanshan was also infected by this atmosphere, and her heart raced.

Twenty thousand yuan!

That's equivalent to several months' salary for her!

Ji Yanran smiled as she looked at the excited crowd below, and waited a while before continuing to speak.

"Next," her voice suddenly became solemn, "let's give a warm round of applause to welcome the Chairman and President of Future Technology Group—"

The entire room fell silent instantly, and everyone pricked up their ears.

"Mr. Li Yichen will now speak!"

Thunderous applause erupted.

All eyes turned to the side stage.

Li Yichen walked out from the side stage, wearing a well-tailored dark suit, and walked step by step to the center of the stage under the spotlight.

More than 50,000 eyes were fixed on him from the audience.

In the middle row, Xue Shanshan's phone fell to the ground with a "thud".
