Chapter 89 Do you think President Chen is short of these two prizes?

However, when he read the distance of 50 meters, although he had already understood it before, he almost failed to control his expression.

It was his first time hearing that race walking had a 50-meter event.

"A very important person will also participate in this sports event, and that is our boss, Mr. Chen."

"Let's welcome Mr. Chen to the arena."

As the host's voice fell, all the cameramen and the four aerial drones in the sky collectively focused their Spotlight on Chen Mo in the stands, and enthusiastic applause rang out in the sports field.

Chen Mo, hearing the host call his name, had already started walking down, and since he was already wearing sportswear, he didn't need to change into a sports uniform.

Moreover, it was only a 50-meter race walk, so there was no need to worry about sweating.

Besides, he was just going through the motions and would return after getting some points.

It wasn't that he didn't want the priority choice; it was that trying to get first place in points would be too exhausting and not worth it.

And all things considered, it would at most be a difference of about two thousand yuan.

When the settlement comes, with 8 million in hand, would he still be short of these two thousand yuan? That's a joke.

When he arrived at the sports field, the other participants in the race walk were already ready.

Chen Mo carefully looked around and thought, "Goodfellas, they are all familiar faces."

Wei Yan, that traitor; Li Shen, that cunning one; and Wang Maonian; Wu Yu from the business department; Fang Chang from Snowy Sky…

Among these people, except for Wu Yu, almost all the others were forced by him to participate in the competition.

He didn't expect them all to uniformly choose the 50-meter race walk event.

"Hello, Mr. Chen."

As soon as he walked in, those people, as if they had planned it, spoke in unison.

Chen Mo nodded when he saw this and then walked to his position for the competition.

"All the participants for the 50-meter race walk have arrived, and the referee is also in position, just waiting for a command, and the race will begin."

"Let's look forward to seeing who will be the champion of this race walk."

The two hosts cooperated in the stands, providing commentary.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out.

"The race has begun! Let's see who is in first place—it's actually Mr. Chen!"

"It's unexpected that Mr. Chen, who is so strategic in managing the company, is also at the forefront in sports."

"Mr. Chen not only maintains the lead but also moves unhurriedly, strolling along the track as if in a leisurely garden. Truly worthy of Mr. Chen!"

On the field,

After hearing the gunshot, Chen Mo walked out unhurriedly.

Anyway, he didn't intend to get first place, so he would go at his own comfortable pace.

But after walking a few steps, he felt something was off.

He looked left and right, and not a single person had walked in front of him.

He looked back in confusion and saw Li Shen and those other cunning ones following him neatly at a distance of one meter.

And on each person's face, there was an expression of walking with great effort.

Chen Mo's mouth twitched. These cunning ones, could they act any more fake?

At this moment on the track, those in the know understood it was a race walking competition, but those who didn't might have thought it was a boss leading a group of subordinates on a stroll.

The 50 meters passed in an instant.

Chen Mo finally completed this short competition, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

A proper race walking competition had actually turned into a collective stroll.

"Congratulations to Mr. Chen for winning first place in the race walk, achieving a time of 1 minute and 9 seconds…"

The host, Ye Feng, announced loudly from above.

Chen Mo paused his steps, gave Li Shen and the others a faint glance, and then walked back to the stands.

"Master, Mr. Chen looks a bit unhappy, doesn't he?"

Wu Yu stood beside Wei Yan and asked with some concern.

"What do you know? That's not unhappiness, that's seriousness. Employees from both companies are here. If Mr. Chen doesn't act a bit serious, how will he manage the company in the future?"

"Oh!"

Wu Yu slowly nodded, listening to Wei Yan's words, finding them somewhat reasonable.

Then, he thought of something and spoke.

"Master, you just said we should give the boss face in the competition. Should I give my priority choice to Mr. Chen, letting him pick the gifts first? Would that give Mr. Chen more face?"

He had signed up for all the competition events, and because he was young and exercised every morning, he was basically guaranteed first place on the points leaderboard.

Wei Yan shook his head directly when he heard this.

"You're not giving Mr. Chen face; you're undermining Mr. Chen!"

"Do you know why Mr. Chen prepared these gifts? Mr. Chen wants to use this sports meeting and the generous prizes to enhance employee cohesion and a sense of belonging."

"Those gifts are bought for all employees, to let everyone experience the company's generous benefits and increase their loyalty to the company."

"Tell me, if another company were to offer you a 10% higher salary than your current one to poach you, would you go?"

Wu Yu heard Wei Yan's question and rejected it immediately without even thinking.

The company was so good to him, and there were so many hidden benefits; only a fool would change jobs.

"You see, that's the effect Mr. Chen wants."

"You wouldn't think Mr. Chen participated in the competition for those two gifts, would you? With Mr. Chen's worth, how many appliances can't he buy?"

"Mr. Chen participates in the competition just to experience the atmosphere of the event. We just need to cooperate appropriately."

Wei Yan patiently lectured him, thinking that his cheap apprentice still needed more experience.

"I understand, Master."

Wu Yu said gratefully, sighing inwardly, thinking he was lucky to have asked his master; he almost made a mistake.

Chen Mo returned to the stands, and the competition below continued.

Thus, the sports meeting continued until around 2 PM in the afternoon before all the events were completed.

Next was the final awards ceremony.

The host stood on the stage and announced.

"As of now, all events of this sports meeting have been completed."

"Next is the long-awaited awards ceremony."

"The rankings are still being tabulated; please wait two minutes."

After Ye Feng finished speaking, he saw several company employees moving a few tables next to him. He knew these tables were probably for displaying prizes and was curious about what prizes this company would award its employees.

Just then, he noticed Mr. Chen also walking over from the stands and quickly went to greet him.

"Hello, Mr. Chen!"

"Hmm, you've worked hard hosting all day!"

Chen Mo looked at Ye Feng, who had come over, and said something polite. Overall, the couple's hosting skills were quite good; the entire sports meeting didn't feel boring.

Ye Feng smiled, "Mr. Chen, you're too kind. We, as hosts, have been paid, so naturally, we want to make the sports meeting lively."

Soon, he saw several employees carrying two cardboard boxes over.

Ye Feng looked at the size of the two cardboard boxes and noted that they weren't very large.

He guessed inwardly that they were probably just small gifts.

However, for a boss to go to this extent for company employees was already very commendable. How many companies, let alone prizes, might not even be able to organize such an event?
