Based on your performance, you’ll receive one to three months’ salary as a bonus.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen paused, then added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Yunsu couriers’ base salary was only 3,000 to 4,000 yuan, if paid four times a year, the minimum would exceed 10,000 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire banquet hall erupted instantly, cheers rising nonstop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These people are so easy to please.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen smiled inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eat well, drink well—on the condition you stay healthy, tonight we don’t stop until we’re all drunk!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen raised his glass again, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from a few staff who stayed behind at headquarters, nearly all of Yunsu’s couriers, sorters, inventory clerks, forklift operators, operations staff, warehouse managers, IT, customer service, and finance personnel in Hucheng were here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sixty percent of them were frontline couriers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen stepped down from the stage, handing it over to the host—there were more performances and a raffle to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, eat something first—drinking on an empty stomach harms your health,” Liao Wei said with a flattering smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How’s your recovery going?” Chen Yansen nodded, picked up a piece of beef, and asked with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as I avoid strenuous activity, two more months of rest will do it. If you hadn’t stopped me from touching Chen Feilei, even if he hid in prison, I’d have crippled him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liao Wei took a deep breath; though he’d nearly killed Supeak, he still felt bitter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think this is ten years ago? You cripple him, he’ll retaliate the next day—is it worth it? Run your business properly. Rich people play differently. If you shut Supeak down, Chen Feilei will be broke when he gets out—doesn’t that feel better than crippling him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen shook his head with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liao Wei had ability and brains, but his habits were still those of a roughneck from years past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His management and operational skills were all self-taught, and though he’d studied for a few years, he only had a junior college diploma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes yes yes, I’ll follow the boss’s advice—I’m a legitimate businessman now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liao Wei chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enroll in an MBA course. I don’t want you falling behind Yunsu’s growth pace, understood?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen smiled faintly, giving his advice slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>MBA?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell would I need that for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yunsu’s operations center is full of MBA graduates—just hand the work to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liao Wei was about to refuse when Zhai An nudged his elbow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instantly understood—the drunken haze vanished. He turned over Chen Yansen’s last words: “I don’t want you falling behind Yunsu’s growth pace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plainly put, the boss thought his management skills were inadequate—he either learned and improved, or got out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Boss. I’ll study hard,” Liao Wei put down his glass, his expression serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen, seeing he understood, patted Liao Wei’s shoulder and said: “I’m not one to forget old ties, but business is business, friendship is friendship. As long as you’re capable, the CEO position at Yunsu will always be yours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, I understand. I won’t let you down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liao Wei, like a green recruit, immediately pledged his loyalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen acknowledged him and said no more—Liao Wei was still Yunsu’s top leader; as long as he got it, no need to repeat it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid clinking glasses, the bottle of baijiu on the table was soon empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, Lao Liao, let’s take a walk around.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen sighed, stood up, and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walk around?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liao Wei glanced at the eighty-plus tables—if they drank at each one, they’d end up in the hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai An stood up willingly, ready to drink for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen smiled—he saw Zhai An’s intention and didn’t object.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Drink just a little,” Song Yuncheng, knowing he couldn’t stop Chen Yansen, whispered cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, I’m fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen’s abnormal physique had once drunk three jin—he felt as if he’d downed a bottle of beer, barely even tipsy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liao Wei and Zhai An followed behind him, wine cups in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, these are all from Finance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai An introduced them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen stopped, exchanged a few friendly words with the staff at the table, raised his glass, clinked it with everyone, and drained it in one gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next came Operations, Customer Service, Legal, Technology, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Further back were the couriers from the XH district station, Pudong station, Jiading station, and Minhang station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How much was your salary last month?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen asked a courier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, my pre-tax salary last month was 9,300 yuan—I signed up two online shop merchants, so my pickup volume is stable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The courier answered honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Keep it up. With Shanghai housing prices still low these two years, save up—when you get the chance, buy a place in Pudong or Jiading, so your kids can go to school easily.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen glanced at the man’s age and, from his accent, easily guessed his family situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for your concern, Boss, but Shanghai housing? How could we ever afford it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The courier scratched his head and grinned helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this era of soaring prices, many saw the wealth potential in Shanghai’s real estate, yet often had neither the will nor the means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For ordinary people, before 2014 was the best time to get in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once missed, settling in Shanghai was beyond the reach of most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen fell silent—he knew the future price trajectory, so he wouldn’t say any nonsense like, “Work five or ten years at Yunsu and you’ll afford a house.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then buy several houses back home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen joked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for the advice, Boss.” The courier smiled in reply, but thought to himself: Even a billionaire boss thinks Shanghai prices will rise—maybe I should talk to my wife and scrape together a down payment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he’d heard you needed two years of social insurance to buy in Shanghai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, never mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some thought, the home-buying impulse sparked by Chen Yansen quickly faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen moved on to the next table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, I’m Cheng Jie, station head for XH district. This is my daughter, Cheng Guo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Jie pointed to the little girl beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yunsu’s annual meeting allowed each employee to bring one family member; most chose to bring their children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hi, big brother! You’re so pretty!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl, unafraid of strangers, greeted him with a bright smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Guo?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen bent down, studied the girl named Cheng Guo carefully, and finally spotted a tiny red mole, the size of a sesame seed, on her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It really is her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen blinked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After more than a decade, that soft, cute girl who mastered every fighting style and bought dozens of cosplay outfits had appeared again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen looked at Guocheng, who was only six this year, then pulled out a red envelope and slipped it into her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guocheng, say thank you to your brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Jie, seeing his boss seemed to genuinely like his daughter, patted her head and smiled as he reminded her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, brother,” Guocheng said, squinting sweetly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen gave a slight nod and drank a toast with Cheng Jie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After going around the table, Chen Yansen was fine, but Liao Wei and Zhai An were already passed out, slumped over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Director of Administration immediately summoned a few people to take Liao Wei and Zhai An to the hospital for IV drips of glucose and saline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing things were winding down, Chen Yansen called Xiao Li and headed out with Song Yuncheng, planning to return and rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they stepped out of the banquet hall, they saw Ye Yizhi standing stiffly by the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Chen, I was blind and foolish today—can you please show mercy and let me off?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Yizhi hurried over the moment he saw Chen Yansen, bowing low, pleading pitifully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m just a country bumpkin, a nobody. I didn’t understand a word Mr. Ye said.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen teased with a smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Chen, I beg you—I’ve spent half my life struggling on Qipu Road. If you kick me out, I’ll have no way to survive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Yizhi, ever adaptable, dropped to his knees with a thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen regarded him with a sly expression, then stepped past him and walked straight toward the elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Yizhi tried to follow, but Xiao Li, face cold, blocked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is the world really so easy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Put on a show, apologize, and expect it to be over?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you treating me like a child?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen didn’t care about Ye Yizhi’s fate—what did it matter to him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the Pearlman Hotel, speeding along the Hu-Min Elevated, Shanghai at night shimmered in dazzling colors, drawing one irresistibly into its glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Photos of Chen Yansen, dressed in Yunsu Express uniform, holding a wine glass and drinking heartily with delivery riders, had been reviewed and approved by both the Brand and Marketing Departments, then posted on Weibo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Comments, shares, and likes quickly surpassed fifty to sixty thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way!

Chen Yansen’s a marketing genius—I’ve got to learn this trick.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qiangdong suddenly saw light, feeling he’d found the perfect way to promote JD and JD Express.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>JD’s annual party was in three days—if he pulled the same stunt, would it look like plagiarism?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qiangdong hesitated, embarrassed, then suddenly had a brilliant idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen ate and drank with delivery riders—I’ll just go deliver packages myself.
