Chapter 150: He deserves to be so well-liked

As soon as the host finished speaking, the employees became so excited they couldn't stay seated, and they jumped up from their seats.

Everything before had already made them excited enough; at this moment, they were so excited they didn't know what to say.

After standing up, there was about half a minute of silence, then a thunderous round of applause broke out, lasting a full two minutes before stopping.

This reward was carried out by means of a lottery.

After the lottery, amid everyone's expectant gazes, the host said into the microphone: "Next, please welcome today's highly anticipated gathering guest, Mr. Xiao Ming Xiao, to announce the winners for us."

As soon as those words were spoken, the hotel lobby exploded; employees cheered nonstop, and amid several looks of surprise, Xiao Ming stood up at that moment.

The employees' gazes followed Xiao Ming as he walked from the seats to the stage; he gave a faint smile, glanced at the employees below, then slowly spoke: "Hello everyone, I am Xiao Ming."

As soon as his words fell, cheers erupted again, lasting a full three minutes before subsiding.

"Come, let me announce today's lucky winners for everyone."

Xiao Ming picked up one of the drawn lists and opened it: "Huang Shanshan of Hangjia won Room Number Three; I, Li Yue, won Car Number Two; Wu Siqi won a prize of 300,000."

"Next, Zhao Dashan of Fengqi..."

Three groups each had three winners; these prizes are numbered, namely numbers one, two, and three.

After announcing the list, the host invited the winners onto the stage; Xiao Ming personally handed out the prizes to each winner, and said to each one, "Keep it up!"

Those winning employees were extremely excited, especially several female employees who burst into tears of emotion.

After distributing the prizes, the venue erupted with thunderous applause once.

The winners all cherished having such a good boss; anyone present who had worked for several years at Xiao Ming's several companies had received some return, and felt fortunate to follow such a boss.

Those who didn't win, having only been at the old company for a few months, upon seeing the veteran employees' excellent treatment, also instantly felt they had some hope.

Afterwards, Xiao Ming and the employees who had won prizes each took a group photo, then the host had the employees return to their seats.

Xiao Ming had also intended to return to his seat, but at that moment the employees unanimously stood up and called out: "Mr. Xiao, please say a few words for us."

"Say a few words for us, say a few words..."

Xiao Ming hesitated slightly, followed the sound with his gaze, and saw the employees looking at him with anticipation.

Xiao Ming hadn't planned to say anything, but seeing the employees' enthusiasm, he felt compelled; after a pause, he nodded and took the microphone handed over by the host.

"Thank you for your enthusiasm; I'll share some heartfelt words with you all. I thank you for everything you've contributed to the company. I won't say other nice words; I have only one sentence: whoever puts in effort at our company, the company will certainly not let you down."

While Xiao Ming was speaking, the originally noisy lobby suddenly fell silent.

"As long as you have ability, talent, and sufficient enthusiasm for your work, you will definitely have a place to stand in the company."

"Well, let's say an old saying: effort may not always bring opportunity, but opportunity has always been reserved for those who are prepared."

After speaking, Xiao Ming nodded to the employees, handed the microphone to the host, and stepped down from the stage.

By the time Xiao Ming had reached his seat, the venue remained quiet enough to hear the breathing of those around.

The host wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but the venue was so quiet that she didn't know what to say or what not to say.

At that moment, the venue suddenly burst with thunderous cheers and applause.

Although Xiao Ming's words were few, they made each employee's heart feel as if they had taken a reassuring pill.

Many big bosses often speak such generous and inspiring words to their employees, but who actually follows through?

Basically, they're just empty checks.

Only their boss Xiao Ming had already acted before speaking, having already given out so much bonus money; saying such words now is simply too persuasive.

So generous, it serves them right to be so rich, serves him right to be famous all over the internet, serves him right to be so popular.

Cool, it's just too cool.

……

By around ten o'clock at night, Xiao Ming, who usually doesn't drink much, surprisingly got drunk; Xiao Jingrou and Xiao Yuchun helplessly escorted him away from the resort where the New Year's party was held.

"Dad, you're really amazing."

Xiao Yunzhe sighed sincerely.

Previously, he thought his father, like other big bosses, was a businessman who would do anything for profit.

Mainly, his father is just too rich.

Moreover, he's the kind of extremely rich person; someone with that much money wouldn't be that kind of person, or rather, in Xiao Yunzhe's view, Xiao Ming's generosity is only toward family.

As for others, that must be the miserly nature of a businessman!

But only today did we see that he is also that generous toward employees.

He suddenly understood why his father's company could develop so well—it's because Xiao Ming treats his employees exceptionally well; working under such a boss, who wouldn't strive?

He suddenly felt that being Xiao Ming's son is a matter of great pride.

"Brother, knowing you admire our dad, at this point you should first put away your admiration and come help quickly."

Xiao Yuchun shook her head helplessly and said to Xiao Yunzhe.

Xiao Yunzhe quickly gathered his thoughts and brought the drunken Xiao Ming, who could barely walk, back to the hotel.

By this point, Xiao Ming had finished all his affairs in Yun Cheng.

The next morning early, Xiao Ming took a few kids to Xiao Shan's house for breakfast, said goodbye to Xiao Shan, and then returned to Anjin City.

Because Geng Jing Shu is pregnant, this time they returned by high-speed rail.

Due to his hangover, along the way Xiao Ming kept pinching his brow and rubbing his temples to relieve his headache.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingrou and Xiao Yuchun both looked at Xiao Ming with slight displeasure.

"Dad, you must not drink alcohol anymore; alcohol isn't anything good, from now on you're forbidden to touch it, otherwise the two of us will ignore you completely." Xiao Yuchun said angrily.

Although Xiao Ming looks young, he is actually over forty; if drinking causes any problems...
