Chapter 242: Mingri Group Annual Meeting

Emperor Hotel.

Inside a large banquet hall, it was already bustling with noise.

Many employees were already seated and waiting.

Several areas had been partitioned off.

Changfeng Clothing, Snowy Sky, Nanhe Coffee, Pet Park, Boring Short Videos, and members of the foundation.

From company executives down to the janitorial staff, everyone was invited to attend this company annual meeting.

Above the banquet hall, a huge banner had been hung up.

Mingri Group Annual Meeting.

Below the banner was a massive stage.

Some employees in the know were aware that there would be performances on this stage later.

Behind the stage, the husband and wife duo, Ye Feng and Chen Xuan, looked at the many employees in the banquet hall, both wearing expressions of emotion.

After hosting two sports meets, they had been invited back to host the annual meeting.

Looking at the partitioned areas, he noticed that Mr. Chen's company had added another division, Boring Short Videos, and had also incorporated as a Group.

Clearly, Mr. Chen's business empire had expanded further.

"How is it going, are you two ready?" Wei Yan approached and asked casually.

It wasn't their first time meeting, and they were quite familiar with each other.

"The performance moments, the award ceremonies… we've got all the procedures figured out. We're just waiting for the annual meeting to start."

Ye Feng said confidently; compared to hosting sports meets, he was even more proficient at hosting annual meetings.

Moreover, just two days ago, Assistant Shen had sent him the entire agenda for the annual meeting.

Two days was enough time for him to memorize all the procedures.

"That's good. Mr. Chen is still on the way and should be here in about five minutes. Wait a little longer; I'm going to arrange other matters."

After Wei Yan confirmed that everything was fine with the hosts, he turned and left.

Watching Wei Yan leave, Ye Feng suddenly thought of the awards segment in the agenda.

His expression unconsciously turned strange.

He had hosted quite a few annual meetings, and many bosses gave awards to outstanding employees, but this was his first time seeing these particular awards.

Since when could 'Consistent Front-Runner' be an award?

Shouldn't it normally be something like 'Perfect Attendance' for not taking a single day off all year?

Setting aside the peculiarity of the awards, the prize money this time also exceeded his expectations.

He thought the prizes for the sports meet were already outrageous enough, but he didn't expect the rewards this time to be even higher than those.

Ye Feng shook his head helplessly. Ever since he came into contact with Mr. Chen's company, he kept encountering things that defied his understanding.

…

"Mr. Chen, this is the place." Shen Rou brought Chen Mo into the banquet hall.

Chen Mo looked at the layout of the banquet hall and nodded; everything had been done according to his requirements.

"Mr. Chen, all the employees have arrived; the annual meeting can start at any time." Seeing Mr. Chen walk in, Wei Yan hurriedly went up to greet him.

"Alright, let's begin. Where is my seat?"

"Mr. Chen, please follow me." Wei Yan said, leading the way toward the seats.

Chen Mo arrived at his seat and sat down directly.

The husband and wife host duo, Ye Feng and Chen Xuan, stepped onto the stage at the right moment.

Listening to the host's professional opening remarks for the annual meeting, Chen Mo nodded inwardly; professional is professional.

"Before the official start of the annual meeting, let us invite our respected Mr. Chen to the stage to speak."

Huh!

Chen Mo was just enjoying listening, and the host had actually brought the topic directly to him.

Was there a segment for him to speak?

Chen Mo looked puzzled. When he reviewed Shen Rou's proposal, he had been focused on spending issues and really hadn't noticed a segment for him to speak.

Hearing the enthusiastic applause in the banquet hall.

Chen Mo stood up helplessly. The atmosphere had already been built up to this point, so he had to go on stage and say a few words.

Walking step by step onto the stage, the host Ye Feng respectfully handed him the microphone, then retreated to the side.

Chen Mo took the microphone and looked at the employees below.

He felt somewhat emotional; in just over half a year, with the help of the system, he had developed his businesses to this point.

The only pity was that with so many businesses, his personal assets were only in the tens of thousands.

At this moment, the applause from the employees below the stage had gradually died down.

He cleared his throat and spoke slowly.

"Hello everyone, I am Chen Mo, the boss of Mingri Group."

"The main purpose of holding this annual meeting today is to celebrate, so I won't say any extra pleasantries."

"Later, everyone eat well and drink well; there will be performances in a while."

"That's all."

After finishing, he turned and returned the microphone to the host standing to the side.

Immediately after, another round of enthusiastic applause rang out.

Ye Feng blankly took the microphone back from Mr. Chen. It was over after just a few sentences?

Normally, wouldn't it take half an hour to talk about the company's development, future prospects, and then paint a big picture for the future?

He had even seen a company boss speak for over an hour at an annual meeting. Even the short ones usually lasted 20 minutes.

This was his first time seeing someone finish in just a few short sentences like Mr. Chen.

However, he was on stage, so he couldn't afford to think too much and hurriedly picked up the microphone.

"Let us thank Mr. Chen for his speech. His brief words fully reflect his care for the employees."

Chen Mo returned to his seat, and the annual meeting officially began after his speech.

Hotel staff pushed dining carts into the banquet hall, placing dishes on each table.

The program proceeded item by item under the guidance of the hosts.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall was incredibly lively.

"Mr. Chen, I'd like to toast you." Just then, Wang Maonian walked over from somewhere, holding a glass of wine.

Chen Mo glanced at Wang Maonian indifferently. This guy really didn't learn his lesson; he still dared to come and toast him.

"Brother Wang, Mr. Chen cannot drink alcohol." Shen Rou looked at Wang Maonian and said. She was very clear about Mr. Chen's alcohol tolerance.

"It's fine, Mr. Chen can just drink a beverage. I mainly want to express my gratitude for the care over the past half year. I am very happy working for Mr. Chen."

Wang Maonian said with a smile, his expression quite serious. After finishing, he downed the glass of beer directly.

Chen Mo helplessly drank a glass of beverage.

After Wang Maonian left, he turned to Shen Rou and said.

"Go find the hotel manager and have him replace all the beer with that red wine from last time that cost 800 a bottle."

"Alright, Mr. Chen." Shen Rou stood up and left.

When she returned, she was followed by several waiters.

Then, under the surprised gazes of many employees, the beer was taken away and replaced with red wine.

Wang Maonian looked at the beer being carried away, then looked at the replacement red wine, and fell directly into silence.
