Chapter 642

December 1993.

This year passed very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the end of the year.

Evening,

Jiulongcheng.

A huge, 9-story tall building with beige exterior walls was decorated with colorful banners, looking brand new.

"Get the sign hung up properly for me!"

Wu Ying was in a crisp suit, quite like a CEO, directing the employees to hang the new sign for this building.

—"Bath Emperor City"

Five gilded characters,

When the giant LED sign behind it lit up, the whole street was illuminated as if it were daylight.

Wu Ying put his hands on his hips, looking at the sign, the corners of his mouth curling up.

"This is my career!"

"From now on, please call me—Bath Emperor!"

"Ho ho ho ho~~~~"

Wu Ying, who had always been known as a loser, finally had a new career today besides singing—boss of a bathhouse!

After hanging the sign,

Wu Ying walked inside.

Employees were on tiptoes hanging crystal chandeliers, and colorful spotlights made the European-style reliefs on the walls shine brilliantly.

There were also employees holding spray-painted posters, something about "Bath Emperor," for example, "Imperial-level enjoyment."

There were also employees moving foot bath chairs, massage chairs, and beds.

There were also employees stacking boxes of bathroom equipment neatly.

It was a scene of vitality and everything competing to flourish.

"Brother Wu Ying!"

"Brother Wu Ying!"

Employees greeted Wu Ying one after another when they saw him.

"Hurry it up!"

"The opening is the day after tomorrow, we need to speed up~~~ By then, the best technicians in all of Hong Kong will be here, you can pick whoever you want!"

"Okay!"

Dozens of employees cheered in unison.

The next day, December 16,

The Five Star Group issued a notice across the entire group:

"

In order to effectively safeguard the physical and mental health of employees and create a positive corporate culture atmosphere, upon the proposal of Human Resources Director Wu Ying (Wu Ying) and the decision of the group's management, the 'Health Care Plan' is specially launched...

The 'Bath Emperor City' is specially established, investing 10 million HKD every month to provide exclusive massage and foot washing (legitimate) benefits for all employees of all subsidiaries under the Five Star Group. The specific matters are notified as follows:

I. Project Introduction

'Bath Emperor City' is located in the core area of Jiulongcheng, with an operating area of 500,000 square feet, equipped with professional foot therapy areas, massage therapy rooms, sauna and spa centers, and other facilities...

At the same time, it is equipped with a library, swimming pool, gym, sauna, buffet, sleep pods... and other facilities...

"

With the issuance of the notice,

Five Star Group headquarters, property company, real estate, clothing, charity, hospital, and various subsidiaries...

Everyone was shocked!!

In the property company, those gangsters/employees who were busy in every corner every day, running around to provide the best service to customers, were as excited as if they had won the jackpot at this moment.

"Long live Brother Wu Ying!"

"Long live Brother Zu!"

"This benefit is too great, I must work hard to protect my favorite Brother Wu Ying!"

On the real estate subsidiary side, the civil engineering guys couldn't hide their excitement either.

"From now on, whoever speaks ill of Brother Wu Ying, I'll be in a hurry with them!"

"Being able to enjoy a free foot therapy or massage every month is a good thing I never dared to imagine."

From Five Star Electronics, Huagang, Five Star Supermarket, to hospitals, charity, ATV...

Every subsidiary shouted:

"From now on, Brother Wu Ying is my big brother!"

"Brother Wu Ying, loyalty!"

News cannot be hidden, especially for a large enterprise like the Five Star Group, with nearly 100,000 employees, plus family members, there are 300,000 to 400,000 people.

Therefore,

The notice issued in the morning,

By the afternoon, the news had spread rapidly throughout Hong Kong.

On the streets and alleys of Hong Kong, in tea restaurants, shopping malls, and thousands of households... all office workers were full of envy after hearing this news...

"Damn it!"

"What kind of god-like company is this!"

"Why doesn't our company have such benefits?"

"Look at their 'Bath Emperor City,' investing so much money every month for employees just for a massage and foot washing benefit. And us? Working ourselves to death every day, with no extra benefits at all."

Every office worker was directly envious and jealous.

It's too cool, isn't it!

"My boss is just a loser!"

"They don't even have foot washing or massage benefits!"

"Protest!"

The bosses of companies all over Hong Kong were the complete opposite.

Furious.

"Roll your mother!"

"Isn't it good for everyone to happily run a company and make big money?"

"Isn't this messing around? A perfectly good market environment, messed up by them like this, it's all in chaos."

"We run companies to make money, not to do charity. It's already good enough that employees get a salary, and they're still doing massage and foot washing benefits? How much money does this cost?!"

"Exactly, they're doing this to force us to death!"

In short, every boss was full of dissatisfaction with the Five Star Group.

But...

What else can they do?

Of course, forgive it.

The next day, December 17,

Suitable: Opening, auspicious day.

The sky was clear and the air was fresh, and the sunlight shone on the plaque of "Bath Emperor Bathing City," reflecting golden light.

At 10:00 AM, Bath Emperor Bathing City officially opened.

The scene was bustling with noise and excitement, red flags fluttered in the breeze, colorful ribbons danced with the wind, and colorful balloons floated in the air, decorating the entire opening scene with joy.

In addition, there were a large number of Five Star employees on leave who came today to experience the company's benefits for free~~~

Me, Five Star, noble!

In addition,

Reporters from all walks of life rushed over, carrying cameras and microphones, with flashes flickering constantly, all focused on Wu Ying, who was about to give a speech on stage.

"Distinguished guests..."

Wu Ying walked onto the stage,

"Good morning everyone, welcome to the opening ceremony of 'Bath Emperor Bathing City' today."

"Someone asked me, why spend 10 million every month to give group employees free foot washing and massage?"

His voice was full of solemnity and deep affection,

Reporters in the audience: "???"

The damn sense of familiarity came rushing toward them!

Five Star style!

Elevating values!

Good for you, Wu Ying, we always thought you were untainted, but it turns out you were still taught badly by Director Guan Zu!

Wu Ying: "Over the past 3 years, the Five Star Group has developed from a small property company..."

"To now, it has become the undisputed number one group enterprise in all of Hong Kong."

"With nearly 100,000 employees..."

"The Five Star Group can develop so fast because of the day-to-day dedication of the employees..."

"Look at our brothers and sisters in property, climbing countless stairs every day..."

"Brothers and sisters in the supermarket, busy day after day in the supermarket..."

"Doctors and nurses in the hospital..."

"And electronics companies, clothing companies, education groups, financial companies, low-cost housing..."

"I, Wu Ying, have seen all the hard work and dedication of my brothers and sisters..."

"I, Wu Ying, have never done anything for my brothers and sisters. One day, I was getting a massage and foot wash, and I suddenly thought... why don't I build a foot bath city for my brothers and sisters? Where they can wash their feet, get a massage, and relax?"

"Thus, we have this 'Bath Emperor Foot Bath City'!"

"I, Wu Ying, have no other skills, I just want everyone to know—"

"As long as you work at Five Star for one day, if your waist is sore, someone will rub it; if your feet have calluses, someone will press them!"

"What massage chairs can't press out is human touch, and what foot bath buckets can't soak hot is brotherly love!"

"This 'Bath Emperor City' is not a business, it is the home of our Five Star people!"

At this moment, Wu Ying radiated sunshine that covered the earth!

"Your health is more important than profit!"

Boom~~~

Hundreds and thousands of employees off stage fell into crazy shouting.

"Brother Wu Ying is awesome!"

"Long live Brother Wu Ying!"

The endless sound waves almost blew the planes in the sky down.

Moved!

Tears!

Excited!

Cheers!

Even the reporters from other newspapers and TVB who were watching couldn't help but feel envious.

Why are my eyes often filled with tears?

Because,

The Five Star Group's benefits are too damn good, I'm not convinced!

I want to fight you Five Star!

Brother Wu Ying finally raised his voice and announced with full breath: "I announce, Bath Emperor Bathing City, officially open!"

"Ura!!!"

At this moment, firecrackers sounded, gongs and drums were noisy, and cheers and applause intertwined.

Bath Emperor Foot Bath City, officially open.

A large number of employees and media reporters poured in, and citizens also wanted to go in and experience it, but unfortunately, they had to make a reservation.

"Welcome~~~"

Waiters greeted,

Brightly lit

First floor, lobby, bath pool...

Second floor, buffet...

Third, fourth, fifth floors, foot washing and massage...

Sixth floor, foot washing and massage, sauna...

Seventh floor, quiet bar, library, small movie theater...

Eighth floor, sleep pods...

These were all suggested by Director Guan Zu to Wu Ying, referring to the spa clubs of later generations.

It has to be legitimate, after all, its main service objects are company employees, to let them relax, not to let them prostitute.

This new type of foot bath city is too big, too fresh.

Making reporters overwhelmed, photos clicking constantly, recording non-stop...

"My god, why is it so big..."

"The buffet is so rich, there's even so much seafood..."

"Massage in rows, no privacy at all..."

"Privacy? What are you trying to do, hey!"

"There's even a bar, library, movie theater?"

"Is this a damn bathhouse?"

"Is it too late for me to join the Five Star Group now?"

Only the ATV reporter smiled hee hee hee: "I am from the Five Star Group, I can come over and enjoy it for free every month..."

Reporters: "............"

Get lost!

Noon,

TVB and ATV reported on the interior of Bath Emperor Foot Bath City.

Office workers in Hong Kong: "............"

Bosses in Hong Kong: "............"

Damn it!

Ah ah ah~~ I want to kill you!

At this time, where is Director Guan Zu?

Arrived in the mainland,

In Guangzhou.

Because the Five Star Automobile Group, the first batch of imitation black Chevrolet cars, named "Five Star·Tiger SUV," had gone through vehicle inspection, road testing, regulatory certification, and a series of other processes.

And now, they were preparing to officially push this batch of cars, "Five Star·Tiger SUV," to the market.

Five Star Automobile's first shot...

Must be loud!
