"We've discussed this. Here's the detailed list and specific rewards. You just need to read this out at the company meeting,"

Lu Sijia said while handing a printed list to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng took it and looked over it without showing any doubts.

"Alright, I'll handle these two tasks. Should we hold the company meeting now?"

Lu Sijia checked the time and then said, "I've already sent out the notices. We have ten minutes until the company-wide meeting. You can prepare yourself a bit."

"Prepare what?" Chen Feng asked, feeling a bit puzzled.

Lu Sijia rolled her eyes at him and said, "Prepare your speech or just go to the restroom or something. You should step out now."

Lu Sijia unceremoniously sent him away. The truth was, Chen Feng as a boss was too irresponsible and lazy, combined with the enormous workload she had recently, it made her increasingly uneasy. But thinking about the 5% share bonus she had in this company, with an annual increment of 1% up to 10%, she felt somewhat balanced in her heart.

Chen Feng could somewhat understand his general manager's feelings; he did indeed not qualify as a competent boss, so he couldn't blame her attitude now.

Chen Feng smiled, stood up briskly from the sofa, and walked out.

To his office while Sun Xiaorui was obviously already at work. She too had been quite busy lately, keeping an eye on the HR department's assessment of every employee's performance, which directly affected salary and bonus distribution and involved financial spending.

As the superior supervisor of the HR department, responsible for oversight and final review, she surely needed to be cautious and prudent, striving for fair and just performance evaluation.

Chen Feng nodded to her but didn't disturb her work, heading straight to his office to sit down.

Although he hadn't been there for over a month, his office was kept clean—a privilege of being the boss.

About ten minutes later, Chen Feng emerged from his office, led by Sun Xiaorui, to the company's new meeting room.

This meeting room was at least two to three times bigger than the previous one, with enough space to comfortably accommodate 100 people.

When Chen Feng arrived, the room was already filled with people. Under the gaze of all the company employees, Chen Feng and Sun Xiaorui sat on the stage.

The newly hired employees were seeing Chen Feng, the boss, for the first time, and each was curiously stretching their necks to take a look at him.

Chen Feng appeared calm regarding this, sitting down confidently in the center of the stage; to his right was Lu Sijia, to his left was Wu Mengting.

The seating arrangement symbolized the current power structure within the company.

"Hello everyone, I am Chen Feng, the boss of Fengmang Film and Television Company. Many of you are seeing me for the first time. This can only mean that our President Lu's work is outstanding, rendering me, the boss, completely redundant."

His little joke received laughter from many present.

After pausing for a moment, Chen Feng continued, "About a month ago, I promised at the company meeting to reward the employees who worked hard in the distribution and promotion of 'Mountain Order'. I'm a man of my word, and now I will announce the reward list."

Then Chen Feng began reading the list, which was not long—only about twenty people.

The department receiving the most substantial reward was the Planning Department, with the manager personally receiving a reward of 50,000 yuan, plus a Southeast Asia family tour for a week, worth over 10,000 yuan. The rest of the department members received cash rewards of 30,000 yuan and shopping vouchers worth 2,000 yuan. Additionally, the PR and other departments also received cash and shopping voucher rewards, with bonuses reduced to 20,000 yuan.

The company currently had 98 employees, with only about twenty receiving rewards, making the rest naturally envious.

Once the reading of the list was completed, the employees not receiving bonuses felt a sense of melancholy.

However, Chen Feng promptly announced, "Everyone else will also receive a share, with each person getting 2,000 yuan in a red envelope, which will be transferred to your account along with next month's salary."

Upon Chen Feng's announcement, the meeting room erupted in cheers.

Chen Feng, as a boss, became the most beloved among the employees, instantly gaining their approval.

This was a very practical matter; as the boss, Chen Feng was the one distributing their salaries and bonuses.

The company-wide meeting was very successful and brief. After Chen Feng finished speaking, the general manager Lu Sijia spoke for a few minutes before announcing the meeting's end.

Afterwards, Chen Feng was led by Lu Sijia to the online sales department to encourage and cheer on the newcomers.

The online sales department was indeed one of Lu Sijia's favored departments, because it could generate significant revenue for the company.

The company's online store was currently selling 'Mountain Order' merchandise, such as pillows, pendants, dolls, clothing, and props featured in the TV show (including various weapons, flutes, dizi, pipa, etc.).

Considering the popularity of 'Mountain Order', these items were undoubtedly going to sell well.

As the boss, Chen Feng came to provide motivation and encouragement, and then specifically inquired about the current situation of the online store, spending about ten minutes, and that was it.

As a boss, he spent about an hour at the company this time and then returned home.

Two days passed.

On this day, while Chen Feng was pondering whether to continue his unfinished national trip, he received a call from Jin Xinyan.

"Brother Feng, I beg you, please save my dad. Only you can save him now."

As soon as he answered the call, he heard Jin Xinyan's tearful plea.

Chen Feng's heart slightly clenched, having roughly guessed the reason, but he hurriedly asked, "What exactly happened? Where is your dad now?"

Jin Xinyan, still sobbing, explained, "My dad went to the Red Demon Country two days ago to collect payment, but today my mom received a text message from my dad saying he was kidnapped and the kidnappers demanded a ransom of 2 million US Dollars. My mom called him but couldn't get through.

The text also said we have 48 hours to raise the money, no extensions. Additionally, we're not allowed to call the police, otherwise, if discovered, they'll immediately kill my dad. Brother Feng, what should we do?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng was not surprised and felt displeased with Jin Yongnian. More than a month ago, he had tried to advise, through Jin Xinyan, not to do the foreign trade deal at all. If it was going to be done, for safety's sake, one should go personally and deal one-on-one for payment and delivery.

The result was that Jin Yongnian thought it over and came up with a compromise, which was to pay a high price to have two company employees replace him. They left, and until now, there has been no news.
