Chapter 363: Summary
With people’s current outlook, they would definitely be delighted with smart hotels. However, there was another problem now—the Hilton Hotel lacked new signature dishes. Guests would get tired of the same menu.
“I’ll go to the hotel in a few days. I’ve already thought of a signature dish. As for the equipment, I’ll inform the logistics department to move faster. I’ll think about the spin-off merchandise. There’s a high chance that it can be produced, but the timeline might be extended because everyone will be very busy after the new year. Is there anything else? If not, let’s move on to the next agenda item.”
Lu Ming answered her questions methodically. Gu Qingxian thought for a moment and asked what she needed to ask before sitting back down.
“The Themis Law Firm solved many major cases this year. In addition to helping ordinary people, we have also expanded our business to government sectors. Now that we have established a good network with the officials, our reputation has also grown further. Many people elsewhere have heard about us, so our staff are rather stretched.”
Shui Ziyan paused for a moment and continued, “I plan to recruit some good lawyers next. CEO Lu, if you have the time, we can review the applications together. The new hires may turn out to be saboteurs and cause trouble for us. What do you think?”
Then, before Lu Ming could answer, he added, “I trust your judgment.”
Isn’t this just beating around the bush for me to take a look at the resumes?
Lu Ming sighed and said, “Alright, no problem. It’s settled then. I’ll go over to the office. Next.”
“Then it’s the Ocean Manor.”
…
Managing a large company was troublesome. Their reports were all the same, even the problems! Although he could let his subordinates resolve the minor problems themselves, he still had to tackle the big ones himself. Hence, as he listened, his mind began to drift. He was nodding off bit by bit, as though he would fall asleep in the next second.
He had not felt this way for a long time. It was as if he had returned to his university days. Staying up late to catch up on his homework depleted his energy during the day, so he took short naps whenever he could. Thinking of this, he felt that his limbs were gradually becoming heavier, and his eyelids were fighting hard to stay open!
Just as he was wondering if he should sleep for a while, the year-end reporting was almost over.
“… According to the latest information obtained by This Place Hospital, there’s been a global outbreak of an infectious disease recently. Moreover, the situation is becoming more and more uncontrollable. Therefore, I hope that Boss can approve our cooperation with America’s top medical organization, Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, to develop preventive drugs and tide over the crisis together!”
Chen Ziqiu provided her updates with a solemn expression. However, when she glanced up, she saw that the boss had his head lowered. Through his hair, she could vaguely see that his eyes were shut. Immediately, the corners of her mouth twitched unconsciously. She thought to herself,?No way? The meeting is almost over. Could he really be asleep?
That was indeed the case. Unfortunately, just as Lu Ming was about to fall asleep, the system’s voice suddenly sounded, almost scaring him off his seat!
[In the face of your subordinate’s application for cooperation, please make the following choices:
Option 1: Agree readily. Reward: A small catering company with good prospects;
Option 2: Refuse decisively. Reward: A random invitation to eat at the same table as an international star.
Option 3: Add icing on the cake. Double the funding for the project. Reward: Identifying Glasses (On the surface, it’s just ordinary black-framed glasses, but when the host wears it, he can quickly and clearly detect the disloyalty of others. Note: This is a product of the system. Only the host can use it. Others can wear it without any special effects.)]
He subconsciously covered his heart.?Why is this system so startling??When it appeared, there was no warning at all, making him think that it was haunted! Just as he calmed down a little, he realized that he was very interested in the reward of the last option.
But before he could recover, he heard his assistant’s voice. “Boss? Boss, are you still awake?”
When they came to the meeting, they could tell from the boss’s dark circles that Lu Ming must have gone to bed late again. Therefore, when they noticed the boss dozing off, they let him be because he was too tired. They could more or less understand him.
After all, he didn’t take any rest for 365 days a year. Which company’s boss was more hardworking than him? He was even more hardworking than his employees! It was no wonder that Lu Ming Corporation could earn so much money. If he didn’t earn money, who would?
However, seeing that everyone had finished their reports, she couldn’t possibly be stuck here, right? Moreover, this cooperation wasn’t a small matter, and her authority alone couldn’t determine it. Besides, if anything happened in the end, she wouldn’t be able to bear such a huge responsibility. So she had to wake her boss up forcefully.
As soon as Lu Ming looked up, he met the worried and sympathetic gazes of the others. How could he not know what the employees were thinking? Didn’t they discover that he was dozing off? He coughed awkwardly and took out his glasses from his pocket. Instantly, a few lines of words appeared beside his subordinates—’No selfish motives and will always be loyal to you.’
He blinked and looked at the people around him. The answers he received were similar. So do these people approve of me so much? Those who didn’t know better would think that they were fans following a celebrity. Everyone looked calm on the surface, but their personalities were completely different.
Then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He was lucky to meet so many subordinates who got along with him.
“I can give you three times the original funding. I’ll leave the cooperation to you. You have to make preventive medicine before the pandemic breaks out. Do you understand?”
Chen Ziqiu was stunned. She immediately smiled and said, “Thank you, Boss! I will definitely not disappoint you!”
She knew that CEO Lu had always been generous, but she was still shocked by his generosity. Perhaps what the outside world said was right. Lu Ming Corporation did not lack money. Otherwise, would he have provided three times as much funding?
Moreover, ever since the companies merged, these people who worked here no longer worried about whether their salaries would be delayed. That might happen in other companies but not theirs! The trust between them and Lu Ming had long been established bit by bit through their day-to-day interactions. They firmly believed that they would be well provided for if they followed their boss!
Even if he chased them away, they wouldn’t leave! Such a good boss couldn’t be found anywhere else in the world!
