Chapter 88: The Sports Meet Officially Begins

Tang Qiu snapped out of her thoughts, quickly responded, and left the office.

Looking at the closed office door behind her, she still felt a bit surreal.

She thought that after completing the legal education program, Boss Chen would assign her some other task.

But not only did the proposal pass with ease, Chen didn’t give her any new assignments either.

So… what was she supposed to do next? Connect with the workshop director to hand over the work?

And then?

Work from home?

But there were no other tasks arranged.

Was she just supposed to stay at home doing nothing?

She opened her phone and looked at the million yuan transfer record, falling into contemplation.

What should she do next?

…………

Time passed quickly.

Soon, it was Friday.

Chen Mo sat at his desk, looking at the performance report Wu Yu delivered that morning.

His mood instantly plummeted.

More orders. Again.

The Sales department guys were like they were on steroids—within just a few days, they had secured over 500,000 yuan in new orders.

Just yesterday, Finance had finished paying out next month’s salaries. Adding on monthly taxes for both companies, utilities, and miscellaneous expenses, they had finally managed to use up nearly a million yuan in system funds.

Yet with the help of those salespeople…

He still had over 3.1 million yuan in system funds left.

“Boss Chen, the employees are ready. It’s time to go.”

At that moment, Shen Rou walked over and gently spoke.

Today was the day of the company sports meet. The employees were already assembled outside and waiting to depart.

Hearing Shen Rou’s words, Chen Mo temporarily set aside his worries about the system funds. But if the Sales department kept signing contracts like this, something had to be done.

“Alright, let’s head out then.”

Chen Mo nodded and got up from his desk.

Outside the workshop—

All of the company’s employees were lined up neatly at the entrance, dressed in matching sportswear emblazoned with the name “Changfeng Clothing.” Everyone also wore pure white baseball caps.

These uniforms had been made by their own workshop—and they actually looked pretty good.

At the very front of the lineup, one employee held a flag bearing the company’s name.

Above them, two aerial drones were filming the scene—most likely the videographers Shen Rou had hired.

“Li Shen.”

Chen Mo called out to Li Shen not far away.

“Boss Chen,” Li Shen ran over quickly.

“Did you get everything I asked you to buy?”

“Yes, Boss Chen. Everything has been purchased according to your specifications. Half of the phones and computers are already loaded onto the vehicle. As for the other prizes that don’t have a physical form, we made laminated prize vouchers with the prize names and values written on them. They can be redeemed for the item or for cash.”

Chen Mo nodded and said calmly, “Alright, then let’s head out.”

Li Shen received the order and quickly began organizing the employees to board the buses.

Once everyone was aboard, Chen Mo also got into the company’s business vehicle, driven by Yang Dahai, following behind the bus.

At the same time—

Cangxue Games’ employees were also dressed in uniforms made by the clothing factory, lined up neatly outside their office building.

Wei Yan and Fang Chang stood at the front of the line, talking about something.

There were also two drones above, recording everything below.

Not long after—

All of Cangxue Games’ employees boarded a large bus parked by the roadside.

…………

Yunfan Stadium

At the entrance of the stadium, a semi-circular inflatable arch read:

“Warmly Welcome Changfeng Clothing and Cangxue Games to Yunfan Stadium for the Company Sports Meet!”

“Who are these two companies, throwing such a grand event just for a company sports day?”

“No idea. I only heard that both companies have the same boss.”

“That boss sure knows how to spend money. Look at all those referees over there, and the cleaners and security too—I heard they were all hired just for this event.”

……

A man and woman dressed like hosts were whispering at the entrance of the stadium.

Soon—

A large bus slowly pulled up in front of the stadium, and employees in matching sportswear began disembarking in an orderly fashion.

“Line up! Get the banners ready! We’re taking a group photo!”

Wei Yan got off the bus and, seeing that the clothing factory employees hadn’t arrived yet, quickly organized his team for a group photo at the stadium entrance.

Once everyone was in position, a videographer rushed forward with a camera to take the photo.

After the photo—

“The factory people haven’t arrived yet. You’re free to move around for now.”

Wei Yan called out before heading over to the two hosts at the entrance.

“You two must be today’s hosts, right? How should I address you?”

“I’m Ye Feng, and she’s Chen Xuan. Are you Boss Chen?”

The male host introduced himself, then looked at Wei Yan with some confusion.

They only knew the company boss was surnamed Chen—they had no idea what he looked like.

“Oh, the boss isn’t here yet. I’m the office director of Cangxue Games. We’ll be counting on you two to host the event.”

“Don’t worry, we’re professionals. We’ll make sure your sports meet is a great success.”

Ye Feng assured confidently.

They weren’t famous hosts, but they were graduates from top universities with majors in broadcasting and hosting. They had a decent reputation within the industry.

And as a husband-and-wife team, they had great chemistry.

Wei Yan smiled and waited at the entrance.

This whole scene gradually began attracting the attention of many bystanders.

“A company sports day, huh? Looks kind of fun. I wonder if we can go in and watch.”

“Looks pretty official. See those two at the entrance? Must be the hosts. And there are quite a few referees around too.”

“Did none of you notice the banners?”

Among the onlookers, a man pointed at the banners held by the employees.

Some people turned to look where he was pointing.

[Work is precious, but health is even more so.]

[Effective work requires a balance of labor and rest.]

[If work is exhausting, don’t push through it—wrecking your health isn’t worth it.]

……

“Damn, those banners are hilarious.”

“Those employees are really cheeky. If the boss sees this, he’ll probably explode!”

“Hahaha, now I really want to see the boss’s reaction to those slogans.”

……

About ten minutes later—

Another large bus pulled up in front of the stadium.

Another group of employees in sportswear disembarked.

Seeing the bus arrive, Wei Yan quickly went to greet them.

Soon, employees from both companies stood neatly together. After taking a few group photos, they entered the stadium in an orderly fashion.

Inside the stadium—

The hosts, holding the event schedule Shen Rou had prepared, got into the zone.

The sports meet had officially begun.

Since the competition used a points system and there were prize incentives, most employees eagerly participated in the events. Some even signed up for all 16 activities just to have the first pick of prizes.

Of course, a few employees didn’t want to join in—like Aunt Dong, Shen Rou, Tang Qiu, Wei Yan, and others. But under Chen Mo’s firm insistence, they each signed up for at least one or two events.

If no one joined, he wouldn’t be able to give away as many prizes—how could he allow that?

Chen Mo relaxed in the bleachers, watching his employees compete enthusiastically.

With the coordination between the hosts and referees, the events progressed smoothly.

Very soon—

One event finished.

Ye Feng took the microphone and announced the next event:

“The next event is…”

“50-meter race walk!”
