Today, the Renren.com office was exceptionally lively. The boss personally secured a big order of 128,000 yuan, which was truly commendable. At the same time, this was Renren.com's first order.
Shu Mang was grinning from ear to ear. Every day, she was overwhelmed by various payables, but now she could finally wage a well-resourced battle.
"Junior, well done. My subsequent recruitment plan can finally be launched,"
Wan Yuqian said, patting Chen Pingjiang on the shoulder with satisfaction.
Before, it was like a clever housewife struggling without rice to cook; many tasks were stalled, but now they could finally be pushed forward.
Let's sort out Chen Pingjiang's current accounts.
If Xiao Chen BBQ's main store is calculated based on a daily net profit of 5,000 yuan per store, up to now, for forty days, the total profit is 200,000 yuan.
However, during the seven-day National Day holiday, it was actually impossible to achieve a net profit of 5,000 yuan.
The Sports Institute store has been open for twenty days; if also calculated at 5,000 yuan, the total profit is 100,000 yuan.
After deducting various costs from both stores, the combined net profit is 300,000 yuan.
During this period, Chen Pingjiang invested 50,000 yuan to open the Sports Institute store, invested 100,000 yuan to open the Normal University store, and the contract payment to Focus Software, along with Renren.com's recent series of promotion and operating costs, was another 100,000 yuan.
Less than 50,000 yuan was left in the account, and with this, they still had to pay promotion fees for the Normal University and Police Academy, as well as the salaries of so many people.
This big order was a timely rain, allowing Chen Pingjiang to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Boss, let's arrange a get-together today."
"Exactly, we should celebrate."
Chen Pingjiang chuckled and turned his head to look at Shu Mang.
Shu Mang cautiously took a step back, and even the quiet girl had learned to shout,
"We just went singing a few days ago, and now again? You're going to eat the company out of house and home!"
Wan Yuqian's feisty side also emerged.
She put her hands on her hips, her willow-like eyebrows standing on end,
"Let me hear who just said that, I'll peel your skin off!"
Chen Pingjiang shrugged, shook his head at everyone, indicating he couldn't help.
Now, no one dared to speak up.
Chen Pingjiang deliberately elevated Shu Mang and Wan Yuqian's team status, helping them establish authority, which would be beneficial for later management.
The employees below were genuinely a little intimidated by the two senior sisters.
In their small circle, the nickname "Peerless Duo of Fiends" had already begun to circulate.
Shu Mang, a Taurus, was an excellent financial manager.
What made her most uncomfortable was watching the company's small funds continuously decrease.
Anyone who wanted to take money from the company account without a valid reason was a bad person!
Miao Bingwei and Wen Yan exchanged glances.
They really enjoyed the current atmosphere in the office: young and energetic, united and pushing forward.
They had also been "social animals" working 996 hours, and only after experiencing that kind of cold and lifeless office atmosphere did they realize how precious the present moment was.
The company had just started.
Everyone was not afraid of difficulties, striving for the same goal.
Seeing the daily gains, they felt a great sense of accomplishment.
"Boss, boss, ten minutes ago, a post about you was uploaded to the website. I was busy celebrating with everyone just now, so I didn't see it. Should we delete it now?"
Zou Yu from the content department said frantically, though for some reason, she seemed to be holding back a laugh.
Seeing Zou Yu's expression, Chen Pingjiang was also startled.
Could it be that someone had exposed his dirt?
He quickly walked towards the computer.
But then he came to his senses.
What kind of dirt could his reborn self possibly have?
"What does it say?"
"Uh, you, just see for yourself."
Chen Pingjiang looked at the girls' mysterious demeanor, feeling very puzzled.
After a quick glance at the computer screen, Chen Pingjiang felt as if he had been struck a heavy blow.
"Campus Girls Beware: A Perverted Man Has Been Secretly Filming Under the Guise of Photography Recently!"
"This is slander, this is defamation. Which damn person is trying to defame me like this? Sigh, what kind of look is that in your eyes? Do even you not believe me?"
The gist of the post was that a certain female student discovered a male student secretly filming on campus.
She then went up to negotiate, asking the male student to delete the photos.
The male student offered them for 50 yuan per photo.
Although no names were mentioned, everyone knew it was referring to Chen Pingjiang.
Chen Pingjiang, meanwhile, recalled that chubby girl.
"Boss, we don't mean anything else, we just want to laugh."
"Hahahahaha, I can't take it anymore."
Although it had only been posted for about ten minutes, there were already many replies under the post.
"Oh my god! That's too terrible, we strongly demand the school intervene."
"What's wrong with people these days? Can university students do such a thing?"
"A role model for our generation, I'm truly envious."
"You perverted man upstairs, are you okay?"
...
"Delete it, delete it!"
Chen Pingjiang was speechless.
He didn't expect to encounter such an eccentric person.
Fortunately, he had admin privileges; otherwise, if his identity were dug up, it would be like "yellow mud falling into one's crotch – even if it's not shit, it looks like shit."
"Rumors spread with one mouth, refutations wear out legs."
"Boss, that user posted the same thread again."
"Damn it, your account is gone."
Chen Pingjiang walked to the computer and personally banned the user's account.
Wan Yuqian walked in from outside after finishing a phone call.
She called Chen Pingjiang into the meeting room.
"Xiang Minyu from the content department's night shift didn't come in. I called her, and she told me she plans to take the postgraduate entrance exam, so she resigned."
Chen Pingjiang nodded expressionlessly, not feeling surprised at all.
It's "a fixed camp, flowing soldiers"; it's not strange for people to leave, it would be strange if no one left.
In his previous life, he had already cultivated his mind to be as still as water regarding such matters.
If it were an important person resigning, Chen Pingjiang would still step in to retain them.
Xiang Minyu, whose name Chen Pingjiang could barely remember, was clearly not in this category.
Let alone part-time work, even for full-time positions, those born in the 90s and even 00s in his previous life would pack up and leave if they were unhappy with their work.
Chen Pingjiang had long been accustomed to this.
He wouldn't say empty words like,
"Our company will be amazing in the future; it's your loss if you leave now; opportunities are for those who persist and work hard."
"Since she wants to take the postgraduate entrance exam, let's not delay her. Tomorrow, settle her salary for her. No one works for nothing here."
Chen Pingjiang nodded.
"Also, continue to recruit part-time students. The focus doesn't necessarily have to be on schools around Dongcai (Dongcai University), and even full-time positions are not out of the question."
"I know,"
Wan Yuqian said, a bit sullenly.
"It's just that Xiang Minyu didn't even come for the handover. She just quit without a word. That's hard for me to accept. We used to have a pretty good relationship."
"This isn't like you, senior sister. In HR, you'll encounter such things more and more often. Let alone Xiang Minyu; even of those in this room, it would be good if half of them remained in the end."
Chen Pingjiang looked at the lively crowd outside through the meeting room's glass.
"You have to learn to accept it."
As a startup company, Chen Pingjiang naturally wanted everyone to succeed together, sharing joys and sorrows.
But many things don't change according to human will; there will always be people who fall behind in one way or another.
Those who earn less, those who change jobs, those who are eliminated, those who switch careers, those who pass civil service exams and land positions—in the near future, it is foreseeable that many people will come and go.
"No matter how many sailors change, this ship will sail to the New World."
