How to be financially free

After five o'clock, Xu Wen's phantom arrived downstairs.

Xu Wen opened the cloakroom, looked at the rows and rows of customization, changed into a set of tailored Brioni, and took a Patek Philippe from the watch box to put it on.

In the mirror, there was suddenly a tall and straight figure.

After a while, downstairs, Xu Wen sat on the phantom and gave an order.

"Go to the hotel."

Phantom left Longhu No. [-] and went to the annual meeting site.

After a while, the car arrived at the parking lot in front of the Marriott Hotel.

From a distance, the trailers lined up just left one after another, and hundreds of BMW X3s were neatly parked in the parking lot.

A BMW X3 is nothing, but a hundred brand new X3s are in sight, attracting passers-by to stop and take pictures.

These are the cars that will be given to outstanding employees at the annual meeting tonight.

Although they were only rewarded with the right to use it, Xu Wen didn't set too many restrictions to disgust people.

It was originally a kind of incentive measure, since you want a reward, be generous.

"Hello, Mr. Xu!" Outside the phantom, there was a circle of people, all the executives in charge of various industries under the Haichuan Group, who were waiting outside to greet them.

Ling Xiaomi stood aside, wearing a uniform, she looked quite professional.

After a while, Ling Xiaomi followed Xu Wen, and a group of people from behind entered the hotel.

At the moment, the two adjacent halls on the banquet floor were brightly lit, and the atmosphere gradually filled.

In the corridor, there is a huge sign-in area. Many employees who just got off work and came to attend the annual meeting are giggling and writing their names on it.

From a distance, seeing Xu Wen approaching surrounded by crowds, there was a burst of greetings one after another.

There are a total of more than a hundred tables in the two halls.

The main seat in the main hall is waiting for Xu Wen to take his seat.

On one side of the stage, there are piles of various prizes, including the latest Apple, robot vacuums, happy PS5 for boys, and various cosmetic gift boxes.

Of course, there are not very valuable trophies...

"Xu Dong, what do you think of my luck?" Ling Yutian asked in a low voice beside Xu Wen.

"You mean tonight's lottery draw? How to draw this time? Big screen?" Xu Wen asked first.

"That's right, the big screen is random, and the overall event is planned by the administration department." Ling Yu dessert nodded.

"Then you will definitely not return empty-handed tonight." Xu Wen smiled.

The lottery draw was meant to be a festive event and to motivate employees, so it would be boring to do any inside story. Xu Wen also clearly requested that the annual meeting lottery draw should be fair.

However, rules are dead, people are alive, Xu Wen will not go into details about some innocuous details.

"I will still be taken special care?" Ling Yutian was slightly surprised.

"Please, you drive a big Bentley to and from get off work all day long, and you are still by my side. There are many people in the company who want to please you, right?" Xu Wen nodded to a few employees who greeted him respectfully, and continued.

"Yes...it's quite a lot." Ling Yutian was taken aback, wondering whether she had been too high-profile recently.

Although Xu Dong gave him a Bentley, which was enough to pamper him, but he should know something, right?Otherwise, the effect is not good.

"I'll transfer you out next year." Xu Wen muttered.

On the side, Ling Yutian became a little anxious when she heard it.

"No, Xu Dong, I will drive a small eDonkey to work later, and I promise to set an example in the company."

"I don't blame you, the main reason is to consider many aspects and change your place to make you shine." Xu Wen thought in his heart, or let Ling Yutian go to Haicheng Impression to stay permanently, and it would be a double self s eyes.

The conscience of heaven and earth is definitely not to send Ling Yutian down.

How did Ling Yutian know this, she thought she had fallen out of favor, and her face turned pale immediately.

"This is me, have I been given up?" She muttered to herself.

"What are you thinking? Let's put it this way, there is another task for you. If I give up on you, I will explain it to you straightforwardly." Xu Wen patted Ling Xiaomi's thigh under the table.

"Really?" Ling Yutian asked back in disbelief.

"Don't worry, I promise you will never miss leaving over there." Xu Wen was just an idea at first, but after chatting for a few words, his decision became more and more firm.

That's the arrangement, let Ling Yutian arrange a spare time as a deputy general manager over there, Haicheng Impression can do whatever she wants, it doesn't matter if it's high-profile or not, and you don't need to care about the eyes of other employees.

With Xu Wen's words first, Ling Yutian immediately felt relieved.

At 06:30 in the evening, except for some employees who could not be present, there were two halls with more than one hundred tables, and it was very lively.

The hosts were two employees from the administration department. On the big screen, they began to broadcast New Year's greeting videos of employees from various industries.

Each industry spans hotels and catering, office buildings, commercial plazas, real estate development, film and television entertainment...

Such a large multi-industrial group with tens of billions of assets is impressive.

The employees present felt a sense of pride and a strong sense of impact and collective honor.

On the table, today's standard price is three or four thousand small Lafite plus Wuliangye.

Under the scale of the annual meeting with dozens of tables, this kind of wine is definitely at the ceiling level of the company's annual meeting.

Such a large expense was naturally indicated by Xu Wen.

Anyway, the system has given Oceanpower Group headquarters hundreds of millions of operating funds a year, and now it is the group's annual meeting, so naturally the operating funds can be used.

No need to be white.

The employees below, while waiting for the opening of the annual meeting, took pictures of the scene with their mobile phones.

In the huge annual meeting, there are prizes on one side of the stage, and thousands of wines on the table.

Immediately, the number of likes in each circle of friends exploded.

"I'll go, what kind of local rich company do you use Little Lafite and Wulangye? How many tables?"

"Are the hills of gifts on the stage the gifts for your company's annual meeting? Apple mobile phones, PS5? Are you still hiring?!"

In everyone's circle of friends, the reaction was very strong.

After all, with a scale of more than 3 tables, this kind of wine, the gifts of the lottery, and it is said that hundreds of BMW X[-]s are used to reward employees.

This level of scale is indeed very impactful.

The banquet started with Olong, Steamed Tiger Spot, Dungeness Crab in Soy Sauce... all kinds of dishes were extremely rich.

During the lottery draw, the host on stage looked at Xu Wen with a smile on his face.

"Next, we invite the Chairman of Oceanpower Group, Mr. Xu, to draw a lottery for everyone."

There was thunderous applause below, and the employees looked at the tall figure walking towards the stage from a distance, and felt the aura blowing towards them.

Many of the young girls raised their heads and remained motionless, looking at the light in their eyes from a distance.

"Let me stop!" Xu Wen looked at the big screen and randomly called to stop.

The prizes for the third and fourth prizes are sweeping robots and small cash red envelopes, with the largest number.

After several rounds, the employees who won the lottery came to the stage one after another with joyful expressions on their faces.

At the annual meeting, the atmosphere was suddenly very lively.

The lottery draw is carried out interspersed throughout the normal annual meeting. In addition to the lottery draw, there are also various awards.

One hundred BMW X3s were distributed among them.

When [-] benchmark employees from various departments and subsidiaries came to the stage to accept the award, there was thunderous applause from the audience, and they took away their own car keys from the stage.

One after another, the dynamic pictures of the scene were continuously forwarded.

"Car gift scene!"

"Hundreds of BMW X3s will be delivered on-site, arrogant!"

Even if there is only the right to use it, under a fairly loose use contract, there are countless employees who envy and yearn for it.

The draw is still going on.

In the next few rounds, Xu Wen sent out a sweeping robot, an Apple mobile phone, and a PS5...
As expected, Ling Xiaomi won a set of Helena's black bandage New Year's outfit.

When receiving the award, she turned her back to the stage, winked at Xu Wen, and smiled happily.

In addition to the lottery draw, Xu Wen also distributed cash red envelopes in various internal groups of the group, trying to get everyone to participate.

The upper limit of cash red envelopes is [-], and Xu Wen sent dozens of them all at once.

"How much did you steal?" Xu Wen asked curiously after seeing Ling Xiaomi's disappointed expression.

"I'm ashamed to say, I think the luck of the audience is the worst." Ling Xiaomi said discouragedly.

She clutched her phone, not ashamed to let Xu Wen read it.

The entire annual meeting was immersed in various prizes and incentives.

At Xu Wen's table, the general managers of several industries in Haicheng rushed to toast Xu Wen first. After a while, executives from other tables came to toast.

Between the toasts and cups, before they knew it, the annual meeting came to an end.

Not only the annual meeting, but also the old lunar year is coming to an end.

New Year's Eve is just around the corner.

The annual meeting is over, and all the posts that should be on vacation are on vacation.

Xu Wen didn't go back, and had a room with Ling Xiaomi on the top floor of the Marriott tonight.

"Hello mom? The annual meeting? The annual meeting is over, are you going back tonight? Not going back." In the suite, Ling Yutian talked on the phone with her mother for a while.

After hanging up the phone, it hung up on Xu Wen again, his pretty face blushing with a smile.

"Did you drink a lot at night?" Xu Wen asked Ling Xiaomi, pulling her into his arms.

"Not too much, just two cups." Ling Yutian smiled in Xu Wen's arms, hooked Xu Wen's neck and kissed him passionately.

Xu will be transferred after the next year, and Ling Yutian is particularly active tonight.

"The girl from last night, did you take her home?"

"Or else?" Xu Wen said casually, "That's my high school classmate."

"A class flower?" Ling Yutian leaned on Xu Wen's strong shoulder and asked persistently, "I was also a class flower when I was in our class!"

While chuckling, she stared at Xu Wen's face and reached out to stroke it gently.

"Xu Dong, I wish you a happy new year in advance."

Xu Wen responded, looking at the distant streets outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the city, and the lights in the distance.

The taste of the year, rich and strong, seems to be within reach.

On the top floor of his hotel industry, with his little secretary in his arms, looking at the city skyline, feeling the approaching New Year breath.

There is an inexplicable sense of joy rising in my heart.

That night, I didn't sleep for half the night, and the next day I slept until the sun was three poles before getting up.

"My parents insisted on asking me to buy new year's goods today. By the way, they even asked me to drive a Bentley and give them a gift." Ling Xiaomi muttered, and then looked at the reminder message on the phone.

"I just want to show off!"

"Then you go, so you can drive a Bentley to work every day, and your parents are not allowed to show off with your car once a year?" Xu Wen laughed.

When talking about the New Year's ceremony, Xu Wen thought of something and called Xu Jiang and the others.

"Dad, have you prepared your New Year's goods?"

"I bought it in the store earlier, it's done." Xu Jiang replied straight away.

"I'll ask the hotel to deliver some more later." Years ago, Xu Wen asked the hotel to prepare an annual gift, and now it's just a matter of time for him to give it away.

After hanging up the phone, Ling Xiaomi blinked and watched.

"what happened?"

"Xu Dong, can I come to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year?" Ling Xiaomi asked eagerly.

"No need, it's Chinese New Year, the family is very busy, and there is no one when you go." Xu Wen's words are true.

Needless to say Xu Jiang and his wife, there are countless relatives and friends who want to move around during the Chinese New Year.

As for Xu Wen himself, he may not be able to tell which house he will be in on any given day.

"That's good, I can only call New Year's greetings." Ling Xiaomi sat up gently, the quilt slipped from her shoulders, and the noon sun shone on her skin, making it dazzling white.

After washing up, Ling Xiaomi went back first because of family business.

Xu Wen received a call from Jiang Yuhang's father, Boss Jiang.

"Xu Dong, I wish you a new year in advance!" Boss Jiang smiled enthusiastically on the phone.

"Hello, Boss Jiang." Xu Wen replied.

There is no need to say more about the purpose of this call.

Sure enough, after a while, Boss Jiang asked some hopeful questions.

"Mr. Xu, I have a few friends here. I have always wanted to find a chance to meet you, but there has never been a good chance. Do you think when will you be free before or after the next year? Let's treat you to a meal together?"

Xu Wen thought about it.

"Let's do it this way, choose a day to hit the sun, or just tonight, okay?"

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and the time after the year is even more uncertain.

If possible, today is the most appropriate day.

"No problem, no problem!" Boss Jiang agreed without hesitation, with some excitement in his tone.

"You allow me to inform them and come back to bother you later."

After the phone call, he checked the time and found that it was close to noon. Xu Wen simply asked Marriott's kitchen to prepare brunch and ate at Marriott's side.

Before the meal was finished, Boss Jiang called.

"Xu Dong, I have notified them and I, so it can be set tonight?"

"Okay, you can just book the location and send it to me later." Xu Wen answered casually while tasting the dishes prepared by the Cantonese chef at the Marriott Hotel.

After lunch, Boss Jiang's phone call came.

The address was chosen in a private club in Haicheng. As for the time, it was set at six o'clock in the evening.

In the evening, Xu Wen got into the Rolls-Royce Phantom and went to the place he had agreed with Boss Jiang and the others.

Outside the clubhouse, the environment is quiet, and there are several luxury cars such as Maybach and Land Rover parked in the parking lot.

When Xu Wen got out of the car, he could see the entrance of the clubhouse from a distance. Boss Jiang was waiting eagerly.

Behind him, there were four or five middle-aged people, all about the same age as Boss Jiang, who had already put on enthusiastic smiles before meeting Xu Wen.

"Hello, Mr. Xu." Boss Jiang stepped forward in two steps.

Xu Wen and Boss Jiang met face to face, nodded and went forward to shake hands, and then looked at the construction bosses on the side.
