Chapter Index

    Some swagger is meant to unsettle enemies, to make them sleepless and anxious. Other swagger is for one’s own people, needing the effect of rallying hearts and minds.

    This is the difference between good and bad swagger.

    Like at this moment, the majority of employees at the group-buying branch were exclaiming “holy shit”, thinking this boss is too awesome. Using his own Bentley as a cargo truck is one thing, but riding over on a little pink electric scooter in this sweltering weather when he has a helicopter at home? What the hell is he doubting?

    For a boss, as long as he’s good to employees, has a strong background, and gives money generously, who cares if he’s nineteen? Even an eight-year-old would be daddy!

    Some big bosses put on superficial airs, with slick hair wearing a Rolex, always having a luxury car following them, with a perky-butted little secretary by their side, busy during the day and busy at night.

    But what use is it?

    No matter how impressive a boss’s food, housing and transportation are, what does it have to do with you employees?

    So, Jiang Qin played this first step of holding down the scene with slick finesse, directly pulling the dispersed cohesion back up with nearly exaggerated respect.

    At the same time, the marketing department manager Sun Zhi, standing in front of the crowd to the right and behind Yue Zhu, breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the company should be stable with this kind of boss.

    Damn, he himself had been selling health products for so many years and wasn’t as good at bullshitting as him.

    Using a Bentley to transport cargo while riding an electric scooter over here in the blazing sun – even he would want to sing a line of “grateful heart, thankful for you” upon seeing it.

    But then thinking about it, even if a Bentley is hauling cargo, it should run faster than an electric donkey, so how could the boss arrive first with the Bentley coming fashionably late?

    Do you even need to ask? It’s all a fucking scheme.

    But it’s precisely because of this little thing that a few seasoned workplace veterans could profoundly realize one point – the boss absolutely has some tricks up his sleeve and can’t possibly be the type who likes to act recklessly.

    “Young master, is it alright to park the car here?”

    The Bentley’s driver side window lowered and a question floated out gently.

    Seeing this, Jiang Qin turned his head: “Uncle Gong, you can just park the car here. In a bit, come up with me for some tea.”

    “Alright!”

    The white-haired Uncle Gong got out of the car, holding a book titled “Domineering Son-in-Law in the City – Final Volume”, standing respectfully yet amiably across from Jiang Qin.

    For a chauffeur of a wealthy family, even the suit he wears is very proper, with a snow-white shirt that definitely won’t have wrinkles. The white gloves for each outing are brand new and absolutely can’t have any stains. Just based on this one point, a lot is already quite clear.

    Next, Yue Zhu began leading people to collect the gifts from the boss one by one.

    The gifts were all in boxes, containing shopping cards, electronic products, and office supplies like neck pillows.

    After all, these things were prepared last minute so they couldn’t be too exquisite, but who doesn’t like free stuff?

    Deng Yuan and Zhang Yu were as excited as little girls, even stealing a few glances at Jiang Qin with flushed cheeks when going to get the gifts.

    While Liang Xiao and Qian Lele watched enviously from the side, gnashing their back molars audibly.

    “Xiao Xiao, look, this college student must be the young of some big family, right? Deng Yuan and them really lucked out this time.”

    Liang Xiao coldly glanced at Qian Lele: “So what? The company I join in the future will definitely be bigger than this one!”

    Qian Lele pursed the corner of her mouth: “It seems they’re about to leave. What about us? Why don’t we stroll around the mall before heading home?”

    “Let’s go. We’ll also follow and take a look. I just don’t get it. What exactly did Deng Yuan and Zhang Yu contribute to this company to deserve getting a bonus every month?”

    “Huh?”

    Liang Xiao pulled Qian Lele’s hand and followed the crowd into the elevator.

    When everyone crowded around Jiang Qin and arrived at the top floor office, He Yijun was already waiting the door, holding a paper bag that he passed over.

    “The cash you wanted, a total of 50,000 yuan, all new bills.”

    “Thank you, Manager He.”

    Jiang Qin tore open the paper bag, gripping a stack of bright red renminbi as he entered the office. He had someone place a table in front and heavily set the money on the tabletop, fanning it out.

    “I’m not great with words and don’t know how to make grand speeches, but I know that everyone has worked hard, from ground promotion to now. One kind word isn’t as good as one banknote. Today I’m sharing some wealth with everyone, hoping you all will continue as before.”

    Whoosh—

    After Jiang Qin finished speaking, he expressionlessly flung out a handful of banknotes, causing He Yijun standing outside the door to be dumbfounded.

    This is actually a common tactic used by many bosses. To put it bluntly, it’s a physical money toss, directly gaining prestige in the most direct and violent way. The fact that this tactic can continue to later generations shows it really is the most effective method.

    What’s more exciting than a boss throwing money in your face?

    “Boss, over here boss, sprinkle it this way, I’m begging you!”

    Liang Xiao’s eyes turned red with envy as she stood up waving her hands and feet wildly, even blowing kiss after kiss at Jiang Qin.

    Jiang Qin didn’t think much of it and flung a handful towards the southwest where she was, making it rain banknotes scattered in the air, swirling down in a flurry, instantly causing everyone to scramble for them.

    Seeing this, Yue Zhu’s expression changed. She hurriedly leaned close to his ear: “Boss, stop throwing. Those two women aren’t from our company!”

    “Really?”

    “Yes, I clearly remember every person here. Hold on a second, I’ll have security show them out right away.”

    “No need, we can’t interrupt the momentum. Let them keep snatching, it’s fine.”

    Jiang Qin said with a lofty expression and flung another handful of banknotes towards Liang Xiao’s direction, then a second, third, fourth handful… No matter how many times he threw, the area around Liang Xiao was given special treatment several times with unending banknotes, so generous it made one’s scalp go numb.

    Under such favor, Liang Xiao snatched a thick wad of banknotes, and Qian Lele also got a considerable amount, nearly stunned silly by the money.

    For young ladies who just graduated, who has seen this kind of scene?

    But while they were thrilled, Deng Yuan and Zhang Yu’s expressions changed, thinking what are these two doing?

    “Liang Xiao, you’re not from our company, why are you also here snatching money?”

    Liang Xiao and Qian Lele couldn’t help rolling their eyes: “So what? It’s raining money, you can’t expect me to just watch and not grab it, right?”

    “But this is our boss giving out bonuses!” Deng Yuan was beside herself with worry.

    “He doesn’t know I’m not an employee, you just don’t say anything and it’ll be fine. Also, also, the boss must have taken a liking to me, every time he throws money it’s towards my direction.” Liang Xiao was so happy her brows and eyes were smiling.

    Zhang Yu couldn’t help furrowing her brows into a 川 shape: “It’s one thing if you secretly hide one bill, but you snatched so much. If it gets exposed later, Deng Yuan and I will be in trouble!”

    “Come on, your boss uses a Bentley as a cargo truck, you think he’ll care about a few thousand yuan?”

    “…”

    Three minutes later, the last wave of money was thrown. Jiang Qin still had over 20,000 left in his hands. He didn’t continue throwing this money but instead rewarded the outstanding employees from last quarter with cash based on department and team.

    While handing out money, Jiang Qin waved to Yue Zhu and lowered his voice: “Manager Yue, I noticed those two girls aren’t employees of our company. Go take back the money in their hands.”

    “?”

    “Hurry, otherwise they’ll run off in a bit.”

    Yue Zhu froze for a second, then immediately went around from the back, inviting the two girls into a private office. She reclaimed the cash they snatched under the rationale that they weren’t company members.

    You really can’t underestimate it. Thanks to Jiang Qin’s special treatment, they had snatched a full 6,300 yuan, truly no small sum.

    And when the money was taken back, Jiang Qin was delighted.

    Damn, he tossed out 19,000 and got the effect of 25,000. There really are noble people everywhere in this world.

    He pocketed 300 and split the 6,000 into two portions, handing them to Yue Zhu: “Manager Yue, you and Manager Bao have been working hard this month. Consider this a small token of my appreciation, don’t think it’s too little.”

    “…”

    Yue Zhu was dazed for a long time, not knowing whether to say ‘awesome’ or what.

    She suddenly recalled their first meeting, when she was dizzied by the 100,000 and 50,000, nearly falling into a trap, thinking she had gained an advantage of 50,000.

    Forbes… this person can even take back the money he throws out. He’ll definitely make it onto Forbes in the future.

    In the warm afternoon sunlight, having dispelled employee suspicions and held down the scene, Jiang Qin convened another meeting with the department heads.

    “I know everyone has actually been quite curious. Why does this company only have the marketing and business departments? I can give you a bit of an answer now.”

    “Whether it’s group-buying or Zhihu, I’ve hidden their core departments in the university. This way not only can risks be effectively avoided, we can also continue enjoying entrepreneurship support for college students.”

    “So our company’s scale is far larger than you imagine, but this matter is temporarily confidential.”

    “Later on, the group-buying business will be temporarily put on hold. You all need to fully take charge of Zhihu’s cross-province promotion. I’ve brought twenty-six accounts this time and hope everyone can lead team members to familiarize themselves with it in the near future.”

    “The task of the marketing team is to figure out the characteristics of the site, organize promotional ideas, and form a written promotional plan.”

    “The business department is responsible for mapping out promotional channels, finding usable organizations and mediums, and incidentally taking care of merchant entry on the group-buying side.”

    As his words fell, the conference room was silent for a few seconds before immediately resounding with “Yes boss”.

    Jiang Qin stood up and pulled the office door open a crack: “Those two words just now, please say it a bit louder. Give me an ear-splitting effect.”

    “Yes boss!”

    “Snatching money just now wore you out? Don’t you dare say it even louder?”

    “Yes boss!!!!!”

    The sonorous voices transmitted out through the door crack, instantly attracting the employees sitting in the office. When everyone chanted this “yes boss” in unison, the eavesdroppers naturally also felt a sense of excited cohesion.

    Jiang Qin revealed a satisfied smile: “If you have confidence, the people who hear your voices will have even more confidence. Meeting adjourned.”
