194: Chapter 194 Holy crap! Is this a giveaway or a farewell dinner?

"Little Xia, come here."

"We are going to redefine the Mid-Autumn Festival benefits together."

Qin Xun created a new document on his computer and typed the words [Oak Company Mid-Autumn Festival Benefits].

Xia Ning pulled a chair over, sat down beside Qin Xun, and said in a sarcastic tone.

"President Qin, just how happy do you want to be?"

"You absolutely must not think about using public office for private gain or lining your own pockets. If you go too far and cross the line, that's embezzlement, and it's illegal."

Qin Xun turned his head and glanced at Xia Ning.

"Don't worry, do you think I would use the name of employee benefits to top up 50,000 yuan into my Hong Lanman membership card?"

Xia Ning: "..."

It was very possible.

Qin Xun turned back and wrote in the document.

[Vice President: 5,000 yuan shopping card]

[Manager: 3,000 yuan]

[Supervisor: 2,000 yuan]

[Specialist: 1,000 yuan]

Xia Ning looked at it, stunned for a moment, and said.

"Qin Xun, it's not that I'm stingy with this money..."

Qin Xun raised an eyebrow, looked at her, and interrupted her.

"You're stingy with money?"

"What right do you have to be stingy with money?"

"This isn't even your money!"

"You've been my head assistant for two days, and you've already lost track of your position?"

Xia Ning: "..."

That was close; she almost gave herself away.

She took a moment to compose herself and expressed her thoughts.

"I believe that as a startup, the management should share the joys and sorrows with the employees. Only then can we build an unstoppable momentum."

"You're giving yourself five times the shopping card value of the employees, managers three times, and supervisors twice."

"Won't this alienate everyone?"

Qin Xun looked at Xia Ning, noticed her serious expression, and sighed.

"Xia Ning, it's no wonder you ran your coffee shop into the ground."

Xia Ning: "..."

He hits below the belt when insulting people. Does that count as a personal attack?

Qin Xun continued.

"You, a rich heiress, don't know the hardships of the common people, and you always have some unrealistic fantasies."

"Oak Company is harmonious right now, and everyone is full of fighting spirit, but that is definitely not because of my personal charm."

"What they want isn't some superficial feeling of being treated with respect, sharing joys and sorrows, or being courted like a hero."

"For those of us struggling to provide a warm home for our wives and children, cold hard cash is what matters most."

"If supervisors and staff get the same thing, what motivation would the staff have to become supervisors?"

"And if supervisors get the same benefits as regular staff, would they be happy?"

"That would displease everyone!"

Xia Ning fell silent.

Qin Xun always had so many crooked arguments, but they actually seemed to make some sense.

There are two sides to every truth in the world; you can argue it either way.

She believed that human nature is inherently good.

But Qin Xun seemed to believe that human nature is inherently evil.

Xia Ning looked at Qin Xun and said softly.

"Actually, you could just put this money into your own pocket; you do own 10% of the company's shares."

Qin Xun sneered.

"But the other 90% belongs to President Niu!"

"If I lose 1,000 yuan, she loses 9,000 yuan. That makes me happier than making money!"

Xia Ning: "..."

He really was a villain.

"Why do you hate President Niu so much?"

Qin Xun looked up at the ceiling, scanned left and right but couldn't find where the camera was hidden, then lowered his voice and said to Xia Ning.

"That jerk is monitoring me."

Xia Ning: "..."

I was called a dog again!

Suddenly.

Qin Xun turned to look at her, his tone suddenly becoming low.

"I have walked on thin ice my whole life. Do you think I can make it to the other side?"

Hearing the sorrow in his tone, Xia Ning suddenly felt a bit guilty.

Being monitored while working really is quite uncomfortable.

Er...

Wait, no. Who doesn't have a camera above their head while working?

He's just being dramatic!

Qin Xun turned his head back to the computer and continued typing.

[One box of mooncakes]

[One box of nuts]

[One barrel of peanut oil]

[One box of dried cuttlefish]

[One box of donkey meat sauce]

[One box of shredded beef]

...

He wrote down ten items in total.

Xia Ning looked at those ten gifts, did a rough calculation in her mind, and realized this would cost another 1,000 yuan or more.

"You're so generous?"

Qin Xun snorted, acting a bit proud.

"When poor, cultivate your own virtue; when successful, have a harem. Did you think I was just joking with you?"

"This is called having vision!"

Xia Ning: "..."

A harem?

That vision is certainly not small.

Thinking that those ten items would be inconvenient to carry, Xia Ning suggested.

"Why don't you just keep four of the gifts and exchange the rest for a 600 yuan shopping card? It would be easier for them to carry."

"You have to realize, some people don't live in Haicheng, and it's a hassle to ship these things home."

But she saw Qin Xun turn his head and give her a slightly disdainful look.

"Whether it's easy to carry or not, what does that have to do with me?"

"What I want is for it to look good!"

"I don't just want to give them the substance, I want to give them the face as well."

Xia Ning was taken aback.

"I don't understand."

Qin Xun smiled mysteriously.

"If I give them a shopping card, who would have the nerve to shove it in someone's face and say, 'Hey, look, this is the benefit our company gave us, isn't it awesome?'"

"But with these ten items, on the way home from the company, everyone can see them, and they will all look on with envy."

"When they get back to their hometown and put them in the house, relatives and neighbors who come to visit will see them too."

"At that time, they can show off and wave their hands saying, 'Ugh, it's so annoying. This crappy company just sent so much junk for the Mid-Autumn Festival; it's hard to even find a place to put it all.'"

Hearing this, Xia Ning was speechless for a long time.

Qin Xun kept refreshing her worldview.

Would anyone really feel like they have face just because they were given over 1,000 yuan worth of stuff?

She dazed for a moment, walked out of the vice president's office, and hid in the general manager's office to call Xia Shujie.

The call connected.

Xia Shujie's voice rang out.

"Hello, Ningning, this is a rare occurrence!"

"You actually called me on your own initiative."

Xia Ning: "..."

"I will call more often in the future."

"Dad, isn't it Mid-Autumn Festival soon?"

"No, no, that's not it. I'm not going home for the Mid-Autumn Festival; I'm going to Shian for a trip."

"Listen to me first. The company has two plans for the Mid-Autumn Festival benefits. Listen to them and use your years of experience to help me choose one."

Xia Ning told Xia Shujie about the plan she and Cheng Wan had discussed, and the one Qin Xun had come up with.

Xia Shujie replied.

"The first set is correct."

"The second set is excellent."

He paused and added.

"But the second set requires your company to have enough profit to support it. Tell Qin Xun not to get too carried away and not to think that he can land a big client like Dudu Tea that pays 10 million yuan every month."

Xia Ning hesitated for a moment. Thinking about how Qin Xun was preparing to carve a piece of meat off Ye Lan, she told a lie for him.

"Um... don't worry about that. He... Oak Company is about to do another 10 million yuan big project."

Xia Shujie was shocked.

"What?"

"Is he that capable?"

"Uh... Ningning, let me discuss something with you. Send Qin Xun to our group headquarters, and I'll mentor him personally?"

"This kid is ruthless; he's a business prodigy!"

Xia Ning said coldly: "Goodbye!"

Xia Shujie: "???"

The call ended.

...

Three days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was Thursday.

Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Qin Xun had Cheng Wan send out a notice for a meeting in the conference room at 2 PM.

...

Once it was 2 PM.

The employees of Oak Company were excited; everyone knew that according to international practice, this was the meeting for distributing benefits.

When they walked into the conference room and saw a huge pile of gift boxes in front, occupying an entire wall.

Besides the legendary mooncakes and nuts, there was actually dried cuttlefish, beef jerky, donkey meat sauce, peanut oil...

Everyone was stunned!

"Holy cow!"

"What is going on?"

"Is this... a... a farewell dinner?"
