Liu Sandao was summoned to a meeting in the small conference room as soon as he arrived at the company.
The person who informed him said that all the company's high-level executives would be attending this meeting.
The small conference room was located on the 117th floor, and it was Liu Sandao's first time attending such a meeting.
In fact, Liu Sandao didn't know many of the company's management personnel. In the past, Fu Ruhai handled all communication matters, and he only worked behind the scenes.
Since Zhang Kuixian became the chairman, certain rules had changed. Zhang Kuixian appeared more frequently within the company, and many people felt that the new leader was more approachable.
This was something Liu Sandao had not expected.
All the attendees arrived, and Zhang Kuixian was naturally the last to enter.
"Let's begin!"
He said calmly. His secretary then started the meeting, explaining the purpose of today's gathering.
As the secretary spoke, she had the materials distributed to everyone present.
Zhang Kuixian quietly looked at the documents in his hands, deep in thought.
Liu Sandao didn't pay much attention to what the secretary was saying, as there was a lot of official rhetoric involved. Ultimately, Zhang Kuixian would be the one to make the final decision.
As expected, Zhang Kuixian began to speak, and the main points were coming.
"The event we are organizing this time aims to build our group's reputation, to make Ying Bafang win in all directions and reach across China!"
"Applause!"
Someone started clapping. Whether the timing was right or not, Liu Sandao always felt awkward.
He still couldn't adapt to such a rhythm, yet he couldn't be too reserved.
Since he joined Ying Bafang and was repeatedly marginalized, he must have improved somewhat in handling company matters.
Moreover, his most important task currently was to save Fu Ruhai, and he needed to leverage the Ying Bafang system to grasp the distribution of Fu Guo across China as much as possible.
With this thought, Liu Sandao's hand instinctively rose. He clapped his left hand with his right, not too forcefully, unsure if the sound was loud enough, but at least it looked like he was applauding.
Zhang Kuixian did not pay attention to these details and continued his speech:
"This time, we will select the Top Ten Benevolent Individuals in the country. The materials in your hands are a general plan. You have all reviewed them. Share your thoughts and offer suggestions."
Liu Sandao had quickly skimmed through the documents. There were no specific measures, only the intention to select the Top Ten Benevolent Individuals. As for the standards, procedures, or planning, there was nothing.
How could this be done?
Liu Sandao suspected that Zhang Kuixian was merely providing a title and not truly looking for anyone.
However, Zhang Kuixian's subsequent words left no room for doubt.
"Our group is providing a prize of 100 million yuan!"
The prize money was so high, even higher than the prize money of the most well-known award in the country. Could this be a joke?
"We have invited you here to brainstorm ideas on how to carry out this task. I'll let you in on a secret: the rewards for this event are substantial. If the Top Ten Benevolent Individuals are truly deserving, you will receive thirty percent of the prize money as a bonus!" - Su Dan Novel Network
"What? Thirty percent, that's thirty million!"
"Just for one event, it seems the company is serious this time!"
Although there were only about a dozen people in the conference room, discussions erupted one after another.
Liu Sandao had nothing to discuss. Among the attendees, he only knew General Ji, Ji Wuming. But Ji Wuming was sitting opposite him, making it difficult to speak to him.
"Mr. Zhang! I'll take on this event. I'm willing to contribute my part!"
It was General Zhao who spoke, his voice somewhat high-pitched, as if afraid someone would snatch the credit from him.
"Mr. Zhang, let us handle it. After all, finding benevolent individuals is the responsibility of our charity company!"
It was General Li from the Charity Foundation who spoke.
With the advantageous conditions of the Charity Foundation, finding not just ten, but a hundred or a thousand benevolent individuals would be effortless.
Seeing the two of them starting to argue, the other general managers couldn't sit still.
Soon, it was General Li arguing that General Zhao shouldn't be so eager, or General Zhang criticizing General Lu for being unreliable.
The meeting, which had been quite orderly, suddenly descended into chaos.
Zhang Kuixian, however, seemed unconcerned, appearing to enjoy the situation.
Liu Sandao found it strange that Ji Wuming hadn't said a word, nor did he indicate whether he would participate or not.
"Alright, alright! Everyone quiet down."
The secretary spoke, acting on Zhang Kuixian's instructions to restore order.
But it seemed ineffective; some people were still chatting and laughing.
"Quiet!"
Zhang Kuixian's face turned grim, and he roared.
The conference room fell silent instantly.
"Since everyone is so enthusiastic, I'll give you all an opportunity. Everyone will have a part. Once you have found your respective candidates, we will consolidate them! It's decided!"
Zhang Kuixian's words sealed the decision, as if he had planned this long ago.
In fact, the reason he did this was because Zhao Qiansun had made a request, stating that Liu Sandao should be responsible for finding the Top Ten Benevolent Individuals.
Zhang Kuixian thought, why should only Liu Sandao be allowed to find them? It's just finding a few benevolent people. China is so vast, Ying Bafang is so large, and there are so many people. Who can't find anyone?
He was notifying Liu Sandao to participate in this event, and others would have to follow suit. After all, good things shouldn't be for one person alone!
Therefore, this was the true purpose of the meeting.
Liu Sandao was unaware of any of this. Regardless, he needed to find Fu Guo, and this event provided him with a legitimate way to do so, so he certainly wouldn't refuse.
After the meeting, Zhang Kuixian left first. As Liu Sandao was leaving the conference room, Ji Wuming asked him, "How is it? Are you going to do it?"
Liu Sandao smiled and retorted, "What about you?"
"Me? Hahaha!" Ji Wuming shook his head. "I don't have time for these things!"
"Thirty million, that's quite a lot!"
Liu Sandao intentionally mentioned it to him. Ji Wuming smiled slyly and walked away directly.
Upon returning to his office, Bai Xiang was already there.
"I heard you went to a meeting. How was it?" Bai Xiang asked.
"Take a look at this!"
Liu Sandao said, handing the meeting materials to Bai Xiang.
Bai Xiang read it carefully and asked, confused, "This event sounds good. It can increase the company's visibility. Is this going to be our next task?"
"Of course."
Liu Sandao replied with certainty.
"But there are no standards mentioned here. How can we select them? How can we find these people?"
"Think carefully about these questions and see how we should proceed."
Liu Sandao deliberately posed the questions to Bai Xiang to gauge her thoughts.
"I'll have to look in the company's system! The data there is very comprehensive, and I'm sure I can find some clues!"
"Good, but can you still find them now?"
"Don't worry, I have my ways!" Bai Xiang said confidently.
