Reborn in 2000: Starting from Pursuing the Pure High School Beauty Desk Mate

Chapter 779: The Boss Values Loyalty

Chen Fan's appearance directly brought the annual meeting to its climax.

A group of employees who were originally feeling down suddenly all felt better.

However, those who had performed earlier in the program were now regretting it, wishing they had scheduled their performances for later.

At the end of the party, as per tradition, Chen Fan, as the CEO, went on stage to give a speech.

Those familiar with CEO Chen knew that he was never one to waste words or speak empty platitudes.

Indeed, Chen Fan's entire speech lasted less than 3 minutes.

Overall, he expressed 3 points: first, everyone had performed well this year; second, everyone should continue to work hard next year; and finally, everyone would receive a bonus for the New Year.

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire venue erupted in applause.

Especially the female employees, who looked at Chen Fan with starry eyes, all dazzled.

The CEO was really too charismatic, truly too handsome.

Although he appeared late, as the boss, Chen Fan couldn't escape the ritual of being toasted.

By the time the annual meeting came to an end, Chen Fan had already been made to drink several glasses, and his head was starting to feel a bit dizzy.

As he went downstairs, Ding Dian accompanied him all the way.

"You're too honest. What kind of boss drinks real alcohol? You should have prepared some mineral water in advance to fool them."

Ding Dian complained in the elevator.

Chen Fan smiled and said, "When people sincerely come to toast you, it's not good to play tricks on them."

Ding Dian rolled her eyes, "You're so noble. It's only because you showed up late. Let's see how you handle it at the next annual meeting. You'll probably be carried out, embarrassing yourself in front of the whole group."

Chen Fan laughed, "You have a point. Next time I'll try to drink red wine."

The two walked out of the elevator and came to the front of the hotel.

To their surprise, Feng Pojun was standing there.

"Boss."

Ding Dian, who had originally planned to drive Chen Fan back, immediately spoke up.

"Great! Now I don't have to send you back."

"Don't leave. Come send me home. The little cat I keep at home can do somersaults, don't you want to see?"

Ding Dian looked at Chen Fan with a mischievous smile.

"Alright. You've got some courage after drinking, huh?"

"But this trick might work on naive young girls, but don't bother trying it on me."

Ding Dian turned and walked towards her car.

"I've got a date to go to, no time for you."

When Chen Fan heard this, he immediately became curious and called out, "Hey! You actually have a boyfriend? What's he like, to have caught the eye of the great beauty Ding?"

Ding Dian suddenly turned around and cursed, "Are you trying to get yourself killed? Do you want the whole company to hear about it?"

Chen Fan laughed heartily and walked down the steps.

"Next time, remember to introduce him to me. We're friends after all, I should at least check him out for you."

"Get lost! Mind your own business."

After bantering with Ding Dian, Chen Fan turned to Feng Pojun with a smile.

"When did you get back?"

"Yesterday."

"Boss, I'll drive you back."

Chen Fan nodded, and Feng Pojun gestured to Zhang Shun, the driver standing by the car, indicating that he could leave first.

After opening the door and waiting for Chen Fan to get in, Feng Pojun went around to the front and got in the driver's seat.

Sitting in the back, Chen Fan rubbed his head while asking, "Did everything go smoothly in Sichuan?"

Feng Pojun replied while driving, "Very smoothly. I've already set up a classroom for the children's reading room at the school according to your requirements, Boss. All the books were purchased based on the types you recommended earlier."

"I've also stored the letter paper and stamps in the reading room. The teacher has given the authority to manage the letter paper and stamps to the class monitor. You know her, Boss, it's Yan Ni."

Chen Fan's lips curled into a smile, "It's her, huh. That girl has become the class monitor now."

"By the way, how many teachers are there at the school now?"

"2."

Feng Pojun explained, "After Miss Su returned to school, Manager Lin somehow pulled some strings and got the local education bureau to assign a 30-something-year-old volunteer teacher there."

"In addition, Manager Lin also reached an agreement with a student association at a local university in Sichuan, and had the school send a college student to be a volunteer teacher as well."

"The salaries of both teachers are covered by the club."

Chen Fan nodded, "Lin Xue is a woman who could previously navigate between a group of important figures. She does have her abilities."

"This matter was handled well."

Feng Pojun continued, "Manager Lin also contacted the local education department and promised to donate a township primary school in the area. The agreement has already been signed, and construction of the school will begin after the New Year."

"Because this was something you instructed, Boss, Manager Lin took it very seriously. During my time in Sichuan, she was constantly running around, meeting with people to coordinate."

Chen Fan nodded, "Once the school is built, the children will be able to go there for classes and won't have to climb the big mountain every day anymore."

"By the way, I asked you to notify Lin Xue to come to Yunhai for the annual meeting. Why didn't she come?"

Feng Pojun explained, "Manager Lin declined. She said her identity was special and coming would only cause trouble for you, Boss. Also..."

"She said Yunhai is a place of heartbreak for her, and she will never set foot in Yunhai again."

Chen Fan smiled, "This woman, she's quite stubborn."

Remembering that he hadn't sent a message to Su Ruochu, Chen Fan took out his phone and sent her a message, reporting that he had arrived safely.

Su Ruochu's reply came quickly.

"Okay. Don't drink too much."

Chen Fan smiled wryly. This girl was still awake so late, probably waiting for his message.

"Yes, ma'am. Missing you."

"Me too. Get some rest soon. Good night."

"Good night."

Chen Fan put away his phone and looked up at Feng Pojun who was driving.

"Old Feng, what are your thoughts on your personal career planning?"

Feng Pojun was stunned, not expecting Chen Fan to ask such a question.

"I... have never considered it."

"I'm planning to transfer you from the club to the group."

Feng Pojun was surprised again: "Boss..."

Chen Fan said directly, "After the New Year, you'll handle the job transfer. I'm planning to have you serve as the Security Department Manager for the group company."

The Security Department Manager was basically already considered a mid-level leader in the group company.

Jumping from the club's security team leader to become the group's Security Department Manager, Feng Pojun was the second person after Ding Dian to make such a leap.

However, after hearing this, Feng Pojun looked nervous.

"Boss, I... I'm not suitable. I don't know anything about management..."

Chen Fan interrupted him with a smile, "No one is born knowing everything. Besides, it's not like you'll be managing alone. There will be deputies to assist you."

"After taking up the position at the group company, you'll have more areas to manage in the future, so prepare well. As the internal functional departments of the group increase, your responsibilities will only grow."

Feng Pojun was emotional, his eyes turning red.

For the first time in his life, this man who had been strong all his life almost couldn't control his emotions.

In his life, he had suffered for the first half until he met Chen Fan, when his fate changed.

The boss was a man who valued old friendships.

When Medal Club first started out, those old employees who were willing to stay by Chen Fan's side and suffer with him had basically all received promotions, and some had even become part of the management.

And those managers who were willing to leave with Chen Fan to start a new business when the club was forcefully acquired by the Zhao family, many of them had now been promoted to leadership positions in the group.

It could be said that the fates of many people had changed because of Chen Fan.

Feng Pojun felt that the greatest luck in his life was meeting the boss on that winter day 6 years ago on the street.

Taking a deep breath, forcefully suppressing his excited emotions.

Feng Pojun looked at the road ahead and said in a muffled voice.

"Thank you, Boss."

"I will work hard."
