As for whether it would fall apart, or become a "shura field"?
Wang Yi felt that with his driving skills, it should be both fast and stable.
As long as he maintained a sufficient safe distance, it wouldn't be a problem.
Wang Yi made up his mind that from now on, Song Sining would be stationed at Meiyou in the eastern suburbs of Jizhou.
Meiyou Technology had so many things for her to do personally, where would she find the time to play Sherlock Holmes?
As for the rich little madam, she would be in the imperial capital and the western county town of Jizhou, enjoying a peaceful life.
During the day, she would run her chain of internet cafes, and at night, mine with idle resources, becoming a Bitcoin tycoon!
As long as the "kings don't meet," it wouldn't be a big problem.
Even if it did truly fall apart, based on Wang Yi's understanding of the two, the consequences would be controllable.
Someone like Song Sining would never trip him up and ruin Wang Yi's career over this matter.
With two lifetimes of understanding, Song Sining was definitely not that kind of person.
Furthermore, Wang Yi had even delayed his own college entrance exam to save her.
Even if it really fell apart, Song Sining, given her character, would most likely just consider it even, owing Wang Yi nothing!
That's all.
Moreover, when truly loving someone, as long as the other person has them in their heart, they will inevitably tolerate the other person without limits.
As for 100% pure love, loving only one person in a lifetime, that's likely just a naive childish idea.
As they grow older, everyone will understand that such cases are extremely rare.
Even ordinary people will have several relationships and like several people in their lifetime.
Let alone a business magnate like him?
To truly demand saintly behavior is unrealistic.
What's more, even saints cannot be 100% pure!
If Wang Yi continued to ignore Song Sining's feelings and made her wait for him her whole life, she would probably hate him even more!
Wang Yi made up his mind that no matter what, he would treat her well from now on!
Keep her in his heart, hold her in his hands!
The two embraced and kissed, expressing their love.
They only separated when a knock at the door was heard.
Song Sining turned her back, her face flushed, also feeling that she had been too impulsive just now, practically insane.
But fortunately, Wang Yi liked her too, so it was worth it.
"Now this guy can't keep playing dumb and pretending not to like me, can he?"
Song Sining's lips curved slightly upward, revealing a hint of triumph.
Wang Yi opened the door and saw Chen Chuanqing standing there:
"Boss..."
"Old Chen, notify everyone. In twenty minutes, all employees, except those whose posts cannot be left, are to gather downstairs for a meeting."
Meiyou Technology now had hundreds of employees.
Neither of the two office buildings had a large enough conference room to seat so many people, so they had to go downstairs.
Although today was Saturday, e-commerce companies like Meiyou Technology needed people to work even on Saturdays and Sundays.
Moreover, it was currently the peak period for performance, with daily profits exceeding 40 million, making it as busy as Double Eleven!
Even on Saturday, all employees were working overtime!
There was no other way.
Of course, everyone received overtime pay, double pay for all!
"Understood, Boss, I'll notify them right away."
Chen Chuanqing turned and left.
Wang Yi returned to the room and reached out to hug Song Sining.
Song Sining tilted her head and leaned against his shoulder.
Neither of them said anything, but they both understood each other's feelings!
After a long while, Song Sining sighed and solemnly said,
"You brat, you're not allowed to mess around casually anymore. We need to agree on three rules!"
Wang Yi: "..."
"First, our relationship cannot be public. I don't want employees to gossip."
Wang Yi nodded:
"Okay."
Once their relationship became public, there would be all sorts of talk from the subordinates...
It would probably be as unpleasant as can be.
Wang Yi might not mind, but for a proud girl like Song Sining, who became president based on her capabilities, how awful would it be if people said she got there by using her body?
"Second, in front of outsiders, we are only a superior-subordinate relationship. No pulling or tugging at the company, and definitely no hugging!"
Wang Yi was speechless: "..."
Song Sining changed her tone:
"Anything important, we'll talk about it at home. Do it at home, not at the company!"
"Do? Do what?"
Wang Yi smiled and decisively replied:
"Okay!"
Seeing Wang Yi's slightly off expression, Song Sining's cheeks flushed, and she realized that her words seemed to have made him overthink!
"It's not doing 'that' at home; it's that we can kiss and hug after we go home, but not outside! Absolutely not!"
"Haha, if you say so, then so be it."
Wang Yi chuckled in agreement.
At that time, wouldn't it still be up to him what to do?
"Third!"
Song Sining became serious again:
"You brat, don't think bad thoughts. At least not now, humph!"
Song Sining snorted coldly.
This big scoundrel was a pervert.
Just got together and he's already thinking about "that."
You big pig trotters!
Wang Yi smiled:
"I agree to these three terms. Then you agree to one for me, just one."
"Only one? Okay!"
Song Sining nodded and agreed:
"What is it?"
Wang Yi didn't say it directly but took out his phone and opened the voice recorder:
"Promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you won't leave me, you won't ignore me, and you won't be angry with me. I want you by my side for a lifetime, to always be my woman. Sining, can you do that?"
Song Sining nodded:
"Okay, I promise you! For a lifetime, never leaving, never abandoning."
"Swear it!"
"Childish!"
Song Sining found it amusing, but her heart was filled with joy:
"You brat, how much do you fear me leaving you!"
"I could never bear to!"
"Okay, I, Song Sining, swear that no matter what, I will never leave Wang Yi for a lifetime! I will not ignore him! I will not be angry with him!"
Wang Yi saved the recording, a satisfied smile on his face.
Hopefully, this recording would never need to be used!
Many years later, if things truly went south, he would rely on it!
"Sining, you're really great."
Wang Yi couldn't help but hug Song Sining.
Song Sining smiled sweetly:
"You're also very good."
Immediately, her expression changed slightly:
"Bad guy, you're not good! We just said no hugging or cuddling outside."
"Haha. Next time I won't."
Wang Yi said with a laugh.
"You have to keep your word."
Song Sining extended her fair finger and gently tapped Wang Yi's nose.
Soon, everyone downstairs was assembled.
Wang Yi and Song Sining also walked over.
Scanning the crowd, Wang Yi spoke first:
"The reason for gathering everyone for a meeting today is nothing else but to hold a commendation conference and give out rewards! Thank you all for your hard work and dedication during this period! Thank you!"
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It was just a commendation conference; they had thought something major was happening.
Wang Yi continued:
"This commendation conference was originally supposed to be held in early September. However, at that time I was in military training, and our Meiyou was also at a critical juncture of rapid development, with flagship stores opening one after another. It was simply too busy, so we had to delay it until now!"
Everyone nodded, showing understanding.
Not to mention the boss, even they, the employees, were incredibly busy.
It was truly busy every day, but fortunately, the pay was generous, so the hard work was worth it.
"In recent months, Meiyou has continuously iterated and upgraded, all the way to version 3.1. The IT department deserves immense credit. All development team employees will receive a reward of 5,000 each! The operations team and testing team will receive a reward of 3,000 each!"
Although they were all one department, their contributions differed, so the bonuses couldn't be the same.
The development team did the most, contributed the most, and worked the most overtime, so naturally, they received the highest bonuses!
The testing and operations teams wouldn't say anything about this; it was all normal.
"Thank you, Boss!"
The IT department was thrilled.
They had just been diligently developing programs, already earning the company's highest salaries, and now they received another five thousand.
It was truly great!
"Cai Zisong, head of the IT department, is awarded a 100,000 car purchase voucher! You can choose to redeem it immediately or save it and use it with future bonuses to directly exchange for a BBA!"
Wang Yi smiled as he looked at Cai Zisong.
Cai Zisong didn't hesitate at all and chuckled,
"Boss, my car is still running fine. I'll save it for now and exchange it for a BBA later!"
"Good!"
Wang Yi nodded:
"The same goes for other senior executives. Different contributions, different bonuses. You can choose to redeem them immediately or save them temporarily and directly exchange for something better later!"
Several executives nodded in agreement; it was a good idea.
A 100,000 bonus was already very high in 2011!
Wang Yi continued:
"Meiyou Mall has been profitable since its launch, and its profits have continued to climb. The e-commerce department deserves great credit."
"For the entire e-commerce department, everyone receives a bonus of three thousand."
"Thank you, Boss!"
The e-commerce department was utterly thrilled.
As for their bonuses being less than the IT department's?
That was normal.
After all, Meiyou Mall was developed by the IT department!
Without the IT department, their e-commerce department would have just withered away relying solely on Taobao and JD's flagship stores!
"Chen Chuanqing, President of the e-commerce department, has made indelible contributions from the initial suppliers and contract manufacturers to subsequent channel development. He is my right-hand man! Everyone has seen this."
Wang Yi looked at Chen Chuanqing and took out a car key:
"A BMW 5 Series is your reward! Come, Old Chen!"
Chen Chuanqing was stunned, full of disbelief:
"Boss, directly a 5 Series?"
This was unbelievable.
That would cost over 500,000!
Wang Yi smiled:
"That's right, at Meiyou Technology, salary is just the basic, bonuses are the main part. This applies to both executives and employees. As long as a department performs excellently, the bonus will exceed the salary."
"Thank you, Boss, I'll keep up the hard work!"
Chen Chuanqing walked forward.
Wang Yi handed over the car key:
"Keep up the good work, and you'll have a house and a car later!"
"Chuanqing will definitely work hard!"
Chen Chuanqing was thrilled.
He had thought that an annual salary of 200,000 and a 100,000 year-end bonus, totaling 300,000, was already god-like treatment.
Unexpectedly, just a few months into the job, the boss gave him a 500,000 BMW 5 Series!
It was truly incredible.
Although registered under the company's name, those who understood knew that a car was not like a house; it was a consumable.
Houses retain their value, or even appreciate.
But cars only depreciate continuously, and after a few years, they won't be worth much.
The annual fuel, maintenance, and insurance for a 5 Series would cost twenty to thirty thousand, which was a significant sum.
But since it was under the company, all these expenses were reimbursed by the company, meaning Chen Chuanqing didn't have to spend a single cent.
He could even be assigned a driver!
When the car got old in a few years, it would be replaced with a new one...
How suitable!
Wang Yi continued:
"The Marketing Department, for rapidly expanding and laying out the offline market, each person will receive a 3,000 yuan reward."
"Sheng Chenjie, head of the Marketing Department, is awarded a 50,000 car purchase voucher!"
"Star Business Department, each person receives a 3,000 bonus."
"Lipstick Business Department, each person receives a 3,000 bonus."
"Han Nian, director of Xinya Lipstick Factory, is awarded a 50,000 car purchase voucher."
"Qiuyun Garment Factory, each person receives a 2,000 bonus."
"Wei Ming, director of Qiuyun Garment Factory, is awarded a 50,000 car purchase voucher."
"Meiyou Store Manager Training Department, each person receives three thousand."
"Manager of Meiyou Store Manager Training Department, is awarded a 50,000 car purchase voucher."
...
Wang Yi continued speaking, rewarding each in turn.
The departments that received awards were beaming with joy and excitement.
Departments that didn't receive awards, however, resolved to work hard and strive to win next time!
For example, the beauty factory, which had just been acquired, was not yet on the market and hadn't generated revenue, so naturally, there was nothing.
As for the lipstick factory, it had already generated over 100 million in revenue, so naturally, everyone received an award.
At Meiyou Technology, Wang Yi's bonuses were not handed out casually but were strictly based on each department's contribution and revenue generation!
The more contributions, the more revenue generated, the more employee bonuses, and the more manager bonuses.
But if performance was at the bottom, then sorry, no bonus, only thin air.
Moreover, even management would face optimization and layoffs!
For a time, the unrewarded Meiyou Beauty Department, factories, and Meiyou Novel Department all rolled up their sleeves, determined to achieve results as soon as possible and win big awards!
Employee bonuses were equivalent to one or two months' salary.
As for management bonuses, they were car purchase vouchers worth 50,000 or 100,000.
Win a few awards, and driving a BBA wouldn't be a dream!
And it was the type where the company covered everything, not a single cent needed to be spent.
Finally, Wang Yi looked at Song Sining:
"Because I still have to study and there are new businesses in the imperial capital, all matters concerning Meiyou, from the initial project establishment to now, have been personally handled by President Song. To be honest, President Song has contributed more than I, as the boss, have."
"Thank President Song for her dedication to Meiyou, she is awarded a Mercedes-Benz E!"
Wang Yi handed the car key to Song Sining.
Song Sining was overjoyed:
"Thank you, Boss."
At this point, the awards ceremony completely ended, and everyone was full of enthusiasm.
Those who won were addicted and vowed to redouble their efforts to win again next time.
Those who didn't win were even more envious and determined to work hard, vowing never to be just spectators next time!
Watching everyone go to work with high morale, Wang Yi showed a satisfied smile.
This money would not be spent in vain.
It would only greatly stimulate employees' enthusiasm for work, create greater value, and generate more wealth for the company!
Afterward, Wang Yi and Song Sining went together to the Meiyou Novel Department.
However, the current Meiyou Novel Department only had three clerks and eight editors!
Song Sining sighed:
"Online literature, as a new industry that has emerged in recent years, already has few practitioners. We don't have companies in this field in Jizhou, so we can't find people to hire."
"We've signed a few authors and acquired some books, but it's still far from enough."
Wang Yi nodded:
"Indeed, for online literature companies, in this day and age, you can only find experienced and qualified editors in big cities."
If it were ten years later, with the rise of online literature, people could also be recruited in Jizhou.
But in 2011, online literature had just started, and most of it was based in big cities.
To put it plainly, in Jizhou, Song Sining couldn't even poach people if she wanted to!
"How about this, Xingyi Technology bought an industrial park, which currently has 200,000 square meters of office space, much of which is vacant. Let's move the Meiyou Novel Department there!"
Song Sining's eyes lit up:
"That's a solution. After all, in the imperial capital, it will be easier to recruit people."
Wang Yi nodded and walked into the novel department:
"Listen up, Meiyou Novel is moving, relocating to the imperial capital, to the parent company's industrial park!"
Upon hearing this, the dozen or so employees had various expressions: some were excited, some frowned, and some had no reaction.
Wang Yi said earnestly:
"To be honest, it's very difficult for Meiyou Novel to grow big in present-day Jizhou; it can only go to the imperial capital."
"Everyone, go home and rest today and tomorrow, then think about it. Those willing to go to the imperial capital, pack your belongings this weekend and report to President Song by Sunday evening. On Monday, everyone will take a unified ride to the imperial capital!"
"Once in the imperial capital, everyone will receive imperial capital treatment. Salaries and bonuses will at least double compared to Jizhou!"
"Promotion and development will also be better, as it's the parent company after all."
Upon hearing this, many were tempted:
"If the base salary + performance in Jizhou can earn four thousand, wouldn't it be eight thousand in the imperial capital?"
"Don't just look at the salary increase; the cost of living is also higher. Rent in the imperial capital must be expensive, right?"
"Yes, that's also a problem. Eight thousand in the imperial capital is not as good as four thousand in Jizhou!"
Wang Yi smiled:
"I forgot to mention, our Xingyi Technology has its own industrial park, with a current building area of 200,000 square meters. There's also a second phase planned, so there's plenty of office space. Meiyou Novel will have an exclusive office building in the imperial capital, as well as a cafeteria and dormitories, with food and accommodation all-inclusive!"
"Food and accommodation included? That means virtually no cost."
"In Jizhou, I have to rent my own place, but in the imperial capital, food and accommodation are included! I want to go!"
"I'm still young, and I want to see the big city. Thank you, Boss, for giving me this opportunity!"
"I'm going to the imperial capital too. If I don't strive now, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."
"Double the pay and free food and accommodation, it's worth going!"
All at once, seven or eight people clearly expressed their willingness to go.
Many people, even paying rent themselves, wanted to go to Beijing for work, let alone with free food and accommodation?
Everyone has ambition and a desire not to be content with the status quo.
Only three older employees frowned slightly.
One of them couldn't help but speak up:
"Boss, I also want to go to the imperial capital, but I have children and elderly parents at home that I can't leave behind. Does this mean I'll have to resign?"
"That's right, Boss. They're not married, so it's easy for them. But we have families."
"Boss, my child is only two years old..."
Wang Yi heard this and quickly said:
"It's fine, if it's inconvenient for you to go to the imperial capital, you can stay in Jizhou. You few will be the employees of Meiyou Novel's Jizhou branch. There aren't many people, so a small office will do. In the future, if there are other talents, the Jizhou branch can also recruit. If you achieve good performance, your bonuses and benefits will not be less!"
"Okay, thank you, Boss!"
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Yi sighed inwardly; often, a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work.
Keeping a Jizhou branch is also good, making it convenient to attract talents from within the province to join.
With lower costs in Jizhou, Wang Yi could have the editorial department sign some capable in-house authors to come to work from nine to five every day!
Meiyou Novel would provide authors with outlines and chapter outlines, authors would be responsible for writing the novels, submitting drafts daily, and editors would review them...
This way, they could quickly produce some small high-quality works, or even bestsellers.
For instance, the most popular CEO romance and Mary Sue novels of 2011 could be mass-produced.
Ten authors writing together on one theme, even if one bestseller emerged, they would profit!
Many years later, those studio-written novels would operate exactly like this!
