Chapter 296: More Pace-Setters

Mingri Group,

Downstairs,

Chen Mo looked at the neat line-up in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

“This time, the pace-setters will be Wei Yan, Fang Chang, Wu Yu, Li Shen, and Wang Maonian. Alright, you can set off now.”

As his words fell,

Watching the pained expressions of Wei Yan and the others, Chen Mo finally let out a comfortable sigh.

Ever since he discovered the changes at Nanhe Coffee two days ago, he had reflected upon it after returning. In the future, when doing good deeds, he must try his best to keep them hidden and not let them be exposed.

Otherwise, it was highly likely to affect his plan to lose money.

Moreover, the incident with Nanhe Coffee had served as a wake-up call, reminding him to be careful in the future.

But because of this incident, he suddenly realized that there were truly more ‘old sixes’ around him.

Even the employees in Beijing could cause trouble for him.

After returning to his office, the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. These employees were really causing him trouble.

In that case, he would just have to implement the morning exercise plan that had been put off since after the New Year.

If you’re going to cause me trouble, don’t blame me for punishing you.

Hmm,

No,

It’s not punishment, it’s physical exercise.

Only with a good body can one work and live better, right?

This time, he had planned a very good route. The distance of one lap was even longer than at the Clothing Factory.

“Department Head Wang, can you run a little slower? I can’t quite keep up.”

Fang Chang said, panting, as he looked at Wang Maonian, who was running at an undiminished speed beside him.

He hadn’t expected this slightly chubby Logistics Department Head to be such a good runner. After running for so long, he was only breathing a little heavier.

He truly deserved the pace-setter award he received at the annual meeting.

“Adjust your breathing, don’t talk.”

Wang Maonian glanced at Fang Chang beside him, then at Wei Yan and Li Shen, feeling a surge of pride.

He remembered that when he first started running, he was the worst runner.

He never thought that after persisting as a pace-setter for over half a year, these people still couldn’t run as well as him.

It even gave him a sense of accomplishment.

“Brother Nian, your pace-setting is really good. Why don’t you go and apply to President Chen? From now on, you can be the only one leading the run.”

Li Shen barely managed to keep up with Wang Maonian and suggested.

“How can that be? President Chen wants us to run to exercise everyone’s bodies. How can I let you all be absent?”

Wang Maonian immediately shook his head and refused.

Are you kidding?

After finally having so many people to run with, how could he let them go?

Not a single one of these people could be spared.

Half an hour later,

The employees returned to the company drenched in sweat, but instead of going straight to their workstations, they went to the fitness area on the 24th floor to shower before returning to their desks.

Fang Chang returned to his office and immediately slumped into his chair.

He had been working for so many years, but he had never exercised like this before.

President Chen’s way of caring for employees was indeed comprehensive; he even considered their physical health.

Fang Chang sighed helplessly.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

His phone vibrated. Fang Chang took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID.

Chen Cong!

He answered the call directly.

“Manager Fang, we’ve made arrangements in Jiangcheng. Tomorrow, we’ll be bringing people to your company to film some short videos to be played during the offline competition’s Live Streaming.”

“Is tomorrow convenient for you?”

Chen Cong’s voice came through the phone.

“Tomorrow? Yes, that’s fine.”

Fang Chang nodded directly. They didn’t need to prepare anything on their end; they just had to wait for the Sky Pavilion Club people to arrive.

“Good, then it’s settled. I’ll contact you in advance when we head over tomorrow.”

After confirming the time, he hung up the phone.

Fang Chang casually placed his phone on the desk. The matter of Sky Pavilion coming over had already been discussed.

This collaboration was still very beneficial for Cangxue Games.

After all, the first-place prize for this offline competition was a million yuan, and such a high prize amount would definitely attract a lot of attention.

Moreover, Sky Pavilion would also Live Stream the offline competition on the Tiger Head Live platform.

More importantly, other Live Streaming platforms would also promote this Live Streaming.

He believed that,

After this competition, the number of players for 【Extreme Survival】 would definitely increase rapidly once again.

At the same time, with the short videos recorded tomorrow being broadcast during the competition’s Live Streaming,

The name Cangxue Games would also quickly enter everyone’s field of vision.

As long as Cangxue Games’ reputation was established and many gamers developed trust in Cangxue Games,

Then, no matter what new games Cangxue Games released in the future, even without promotion, some gamers would choose to try them out based on Cangxue Games’ reputation.

Fang Chang thought to himself, resting in his chair for a while before sitting upright and starting his day’s work.

………

The next day,

“It’s the building up ahead.”

Chen Cong glanced at the location on his phone, then at the building in front of him.

“Mingri Group. The boss behind Cangxue Games has some real power. All ten floors of office space belong to him. I checked the information, and this boss has quite a few assets under his name.”

Du Ziteng exclaimed as he looked at the building in front of him.

He remembered that the last time they discussed cooperation with Cangxue Games, this Mingri Group hadn’t even appeared yet. After returning from the New Year, a group was directly established.

Such a pace of development was too astonishing.

“Hello, are you Chen Cong and Du Ziteng?”

At this moment, a man in a formal suit walked over.

“Yes, and you are?”

Chen Cong looked at the approaching man with a puzzled expression, already having some guesses in his mind.

The man quickly spoke upon hearing this.

“Manager Fang sent me to pick you up. Please follow me.”

“Alright, thank you for the trouble.”

Chen Cong nodded, then led the club members behind him, following the man.

Entering the elevator,

The man directly swiped his card and pressed for the 20th floor.

“This is it. Within Mingri Group, the 20th and 19th floors belong to Cangxue Games. However, the overall work area is currently on the 20th floor, and the 19th floor is still in planning.”

The man led the way, explaining as he went.

Chen Cong and the others followed, carefully observing the layout of Cangxue Games. They passed by a studio and looked inside.

After seeing the layout inside, he showed a look of surprise.

The studios here were very different from the employee studios he had visited at other companies, including his own.

What he saw in other employee studios was crowdedness and a sense of stagnation. Although the employees there were working, it was as if they had no soul.

But what he saw here was different.

Firstly, in these studios, the spacing between each employee’s workstation was very wide, not at all cramped.

Secondly, the working state of these employees. Every employee here was working very seriously; some were intently typing on keyboards, while others were discussing something with each other. Judging by the state of their discussion, they definitely weren’t just chatting; they were clearly discussing work.

More importantly, everyone’s face was full of passion.
