The day Lu Mingyuan was laid off, he had only 4,827 yuan left in his bank account.
He was still 3,000 yuan short on rent when his uncle called to mock him. “What future is there in working for someone else? Come work at my factory. I’ll pay you 2,500 a month.”
Just when Lu Mingyuan was at the end of his rope, a transparent panel appeared before him:
[“Conscientious Boss System” bound. Startup funds: 500,000 yuan. Rule: The money can only be spent on treating your employees well. The higher their favorability, the greater the rewards. If their favorability drops to zero, you’ll be left with nothing again.]
Looking at his former boss’s smug face, Lu Mingyuan made a decision no one saw coming:
He spent 500,000 yuan to buy the failing company that was on the brink of collapse.
Double pay, paid time to slack off, three free meals a day... The employees thought their new boss had gone crazy.
Then the System’s rewards arrived: a Ferrari, patents for cutting-edge technology, top-tier connections...
His former boss watched the company he’d run into the ground come back to life, his face turning green with envy.
When a competitor offered five times their salaries to poach them, the employees all replied, “We’re not going. Our boss treats us too well.”
On the day the company went public, even the cleaning lady received shares worth tens of millions. Weeping, she said, “I’ve swept floors for twenty years. I never imagined I’d become a millionaire.”
As for Lu Mingyuan, the nobody who’d once been laid off, his employees practically “held him hostage” and made him the youngest entrepreneur around.
Someone asked him the secret to his success.
He thought for a moment and said, “There’s no secret. I just treat them like people.”
It seems alright so far.
Who's going to listen to your melodramatic displays of emotion when you're just making a fuss over nothing?
The plot is so bland and uneventful. Why does every chapter have to specify a day of the week and time? It's so annoying!
