Chapter 935

No matter when, the contract matter cannot be sloppy in the slightest and must be carefully reviewed word by word.

Guo Shangyong and the other twelve people suppressed the excitement in their hearts and calmed their minds to read the new contract in front of them.

Luo Tianrui and the others went to make coffee and brought it over. Although they were the core backbone of the studio, they respected Guo Shangyong, a technical expert who had been deeply involved in the industry for many years and had rich practical experience, from the bottom of their hearts.

And Shen Ci was indeed a woman of her word. The salary and treatment she promised to Guo Shangyong and his team members were all written into the contract terms word for word. The further they read, the more they couldn't hide the smiles on their faces, and the recognition in their eyes became more and more genuine.

Not long after, everyone signed their names one after another, except for Guo Shangyong, who didn't put his pen down for a long time. He raised his head, looked at Shen Ci, and asked seriously: "Miss Shen, is the effective date of this contract November 1st?"

Shen Ci nodded with a smile and explained gently: "That's right. It will be the National Day holiday soon. Our studio's National Day holiday is twice as long as the statutory holiday, a full fourteen days. And I thought, you have worked hard at the Li family for so many years, and now that you have finally resigned, why not take this opportunity to have a good rest and relax—whether it's going out for travel or staying at home to accompany your family, this month's time belongs entirely to yourselves."

She paused and added with a smile: "Oh, by the way, I have arranged for all employees of the company to travel to the Maldives for National Day. If anyone wants to go, it's not too late to sign up now. All expenses will be borne by the studio."

Shen Ci's thoughtful consideration made everyone present feel a wave of warmth in their hearts.

In those years at the Li family, the company never asked whether they were tired or hard-working, let alone giving such long holidays and arranging travel so generously; even the time to accompany their families was often squeezed.

Two of the young people who were not yet married couldn't hold back and quietly raised their hands, whispering: "I want to go."

"I want to go too..."

Seeing someone take the lead, the other two who were already tempted and still hesitating quickly raised their hands to echo: "Then I'll go too!"

"Count me in!"

Perhaps feeling Shen Ci's sincerity, although they were a bit embarrassed, they didn't feel restrained or timid.

Guo Shangyong looked helplessly at his impatient brothers and scolded in a low voice: "Put your hands down. We haven't made any contribution to the studio yet, and we are thinking about public-funded travel just after signing the contract. Is that appropriate?"

As soon as he spoke, those people quickly put their hands down in a dejected manner.

This scene amused Shen Ci, and even Luo Tianrui and the others standing behind couldn't help but laugh.

Shen Ci quickly said to Guo Gong: "Guo Gong, don't be so serious. Holidays are meant for going out to play. This has always been the custom of our studio. There is nothing wrong with everyone following the customs."

"And you are new to the company. Having this opportunity to travel with other employees can quickly enhance feelings and integrate into the collective."

"As for contribution or not, that's a later matter. We treat each other with sincerity, and you certainly won't let me down in the future."

After saying that, Shen Ci looked directly at Ye Paipai and ordered: "Sister Paipai, write down the people who just expressed their desire to go in a while, and book the tickets quickly, otherwise it will be too late."

"Okay, no problem." Ye Paipai nodded.

Luo Tianrui looked at the crowd at the right time and said: "Everyone has just joined our group, and you might not know Aci very well. She is the best boss and investor in the world. Whether it is to employees or customers, she is the best!"

Shen Ci looked at Luo Tianrui with a smile, not humble at all: "That is indeed the case."

One sentence amused everyone present, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

Only then did Guo Shangyong belatedly find his focus just now. He quickly restrained his smile, his expression became serious again, and he said to Shen Ci: "Miss Shen, when I asked about the contract effective date just now, it wasn't because I cared about resting. I know the new company won't complete registration until the end of the year. There is still a two or three-month period in between."

His tone was sincere, carrying a hint of stubbornness: "The company hasn't been registered and established yet, so we can't take these few months of salary for nothing. After all, you have already given us such generous treatment, we can't be greedy anymore."

Reminded by Guo Shangyong, others also reacted one after another, nodding repeatedly, echoing that they really shouldn't take these few months of salary.

Seeing this, a meaningful smile appeared on Shen Ci's face. She picked up her coffee, took a sip, raised her eyes slowly, and explained to everyone: "I understand everyone's concerns—before the company is established, as a product R&D team, you are worried that you have no place to display your skills and no way to carry out work and create value for the company."

Everyone nodded in unison.

Shen Ci smiled sweetly and continued: "You don't have to worry about this at all. From the day the contract takes effect on November 1st, you can officially start the initial work of product R&D."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

Their team has twelve people. The office environment required for the early stage of new product R&D is not small. Just looking at the current studio, there is simply no extra space for them to use.

And what they need is not just computers, but also many professional instruments. The studio doesn't have them at all, and even if they buy them again, there is no place to put them.

Shen Ci saw what they were worried about from their expressions, so she comforted them: "Everyone don't worry about the office space. I will arrange the most spacious, comfortable, and professional place for you."

"W-what place?" Guo Shangyong asked subconsciously.

Shen Ci deliberately kept them in suspense: "You will know when the time comes. Guo Gong, don't you trust me?"

"No, I trust Miss Shen very much."

"Then..." Shen Ci raised her eyebrows at the contract that Guo Shangyong hadn't signed yet: "Guo Gong, aren't you going to sign it yet?"

Guo Shangyong reacted, smiled awkwardly, and quickly picked up his pen: "Sign, of course I have to sign."

With Guo Shangyong's signature, this team of twelve people officially joined the studio and became a powerful help under Shen Ci's command.

And this team that left the Li family also made great contributions in Shen Ci's revenge on the Li family in the future.

After signing the contract, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Shen Ci's mind. She looked at Guo Gong and asked: "Guo Gong, do you plan to go out for travel in a few days?"

Guo Shangyong shook his head and denied it without even thinking: "Not going out. I'll have a good rest at home for a few days. My little daughter was just born not long ago, so I can't go far."

He thought Shen Ci was going to pull him to the Maldives too, and subconsciously yielded: "You go and play. I'll go together next time."

Hearing this, Shen Ci quickly said with a smile: "Then Guo Gong, come with me to the Gu family's new product launch?"
