Chapter 760 - 363: Jiang Tao’s Business Empire, Progress of Two New Companies! (2)
"Wife, I’m heading out."
After saying this to Xu Li in the kitchen, Jiang Tao stood up from the sofa, ready to leave.
Xu Li jogged out from the kitchen, stopped in front of Jiang Tao, and looked at him intently with her beautiful eyes, then pointed at her red lips.
Smack~
Jiang Tao lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, after which Xu Li contentedly let him go.
As he went downstairs and out the door, Jiang Tao saw Jia Guolin already waiting by the car.
"Old Jia, let’s go to Huilongguan Building first to check out our new company."
As Jiang Tao spoke, he slid into the car.
"Sure, boss."
Jia Guolin responded steadily, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes.
As Jiang Tao’s driver, he was well aware of the rapid expansion of Jiang Tao’s business empire.
The black Mercedes-Benz G-Class cruised smoothly through Beijing’s morning traffic.
About forty minutes later, the car arrived at Huilongguan Building in Pingchang District.
The building looked quite modern, its glass curtain wall glimmering under the sunlight.
As soon as the car came to a stop in front of the building, Jiang Tao saw Jiang Jiaqi and a smartly dressed woman in her early thirties, looking sharp and capable, waiting at the entrance.
The woman was Yan Ping, whom Jiang Tao had personally headhunted to serve as the general manager of "Jiang’s Department Store Trading Company."
Additionally, Yan Ping was Jia Guolin’s wife.
Seeing Jiang Tao get out of the car, Jiang Jiaqi and Yan Ping enthusiastically approached him.
"Good morning, President Jiang!"
"Good morning, President Jiang!"
The two spoke almost in unison, their voices full of respect and a slight, barely noticeable excitement.
Jiang Jiaqi knew her place well, always calling Jiang Tao "President Jiang" during work hours, reverting to "Uncle Tao" only when speaking privately over the phone.
Looking at Jiang Tao, Yan Ping felt particularly complex and thankful.
Not long ago, she was merely a saleswoman at an ordinary home textile company in Beijing.
Although her business skills were outstanding, her take-home pay after deductions for social insurance and housing fund was only seven to eight thousand yuan a month.
In a high-cost city like Beijing, this kind of income could sustain a living, but buying a house and settling down seemed an unattainable dream.
It was Jiang Tao who, through her husband Jia Guolin’s connection, got to know her, and directly parachuted her into the general manager position of this new company, offering a high salary of twenty thousand yuan a month!
What she didn’t know was, Jiang Tao had learned through system-provided intelligence that she had immense potential and was both loyal and reliable, which prompted him to recruit her.
But to Yan Ping and Jia Guolin, Jiang Tao’s actions undoubtedly changed the fate of their family!
Jia Guolin, working as Jiang Tao’s driver, earned over twenty thousand a month when factoring in various generous bonuses and tips.
Now, the couple’s monthly income neared forty thousand, more than double their previous earnings!
Moreover, with Yan Ping in the general manager role, her future career growth and income ceiling were far beyond that of an average salesperson.
This act of recognition and tangible increase in their benefits filled the couple with endless gratitude toward Jiang Tao.
They regarded him not just as a boss but a great benefactor to their entire family!
"Have you two been waiting long?"
Jiang Tao smiled at them, displaying an easygoing attitude.
"Not at all, we just got here too."
Yan Ping replied promptly, keeping a humble stance.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Jiang Jiaqi and Yan Ping led Jiang Tao toward the elevator, with Jia Guolin quietly following at the back.
They took the elevator to the floor where the company was located.
As the elevator doors opened, they were greeted by a bright and clean front lobby, with a new metallic logo of "Jiang’s Department Store Trading Company" hanging on the wall, exuding a sense of quality.
Guided by Jiang Jiaqi and Yan Ping, Jiang Tao began inspecting the office space, spanning over three hundred square meters.
The interior was decorated in a modern minimalist style, predominated by white and light gray tones, making it appear bright and spacious.
The workspace was systematically and reasonably arranged, with each station equipped with brand-new computers and office furniture.
The office had complete facilities—an independent meeting room, general manager’s office, finance room, and a small pantry. Although it seemed a bit sparse at the moment, the basic framework and functions were all complete.
Large floor-to-ceiling windows provided excellent lighting and a nice view over the street below.
Jiang Tao walked around, nodding slightly, showing satisfaction with the office environment.
A yearly rent of eight hundred thousand in this location in Beijing was considered worth the value.
For someone making big money daily now, it was nothing.
At this moment, there were already ten newly hired employees in the office area, undergoing pre-job training on product knowledge and sales skills at their stations.
Seeing the general manager with an extraordinary-looking young man accompanied by Jiang Jiaqi enter, the training instructor immediately paused.
All the employees were curious and a bit nervous, looking over.
Yan Ping clapped her hands to attract everyone’s attention, then introduced loudly:
"Everyone, please pause for a moment. I’d like to introduce you to the founder and chairman of our ’Jiang’s Department Store Trading Company’, Jiang Tao, President Jiang! Please welcome President Jiang for his inspection!"
As soon as the words fell, a warm and organized applause erupted in the office area!
"Hello, President Jiang!"
"Welcome, President Jiang!"
The employees clapped while curiously observing this legendary boss.
When they saw Jiang Tao being so young, handsome, and outstanding, with none of the airs of a big boss they imagined, all displayed looks of pleasant surprise and amazement.
Jiang Tao maintained a smile, walked to the staff, his gaze sweeping over these vibrant faces.
He took out ten thick red envelopes he had prepared from his hand-held bag.
"Welcome to the big family of Jiang’s Department Store."
Jiang Tao’s voice was gentle yet powerful: "The company is just starting out, and we’ll need everyone’s concerted effort in the future,
This is a little meeting gift, hoping everyone gives their all in the coming work, creating greatness together!"
As he spoke, Jiang Tao personally handed out the envelopes to each employee.
The envelopes felt weighty in their hands, the thickness suggesting there was at least a thousand or two thousand yuan inside!
"Thank you, President Jiang!"
"Thank you, boss!"
The staff were both surprised and delighted, hurriedly expressing gratitude.
Especially the seven female employees, holding the thick red envelopes, looking at their boss’s face so handsome that it made hearts race, along with his gentle smile and generous gestures, they instantly felt smitten, their eyes sparkling.
At this moment, one girl with glasses, seeming lively, stared at Jiang Tao’s face for a few seconds, and suddenly covered her mouth in excitement, exclaiming: "Oh my god! President Jiang, you... you’re ’God Jiang’?! The God Jiang from Kuai Shou! I knew you looked familiar!"
The girl’s exclamation immediately awakened everyone else!
"Yeah! A hole-in-one in golf!"
"And predicting the landslide to save people!"
"My god! Our boss is actually God Jiang!"
"I’m your diehard fan, God Jiang! Never thought I could work at your company! So happy!"
"President Jiang, you look even more charismatic and handsome in reality than in videos!"
The office area instantly became lively!
Earlier, people might have only heard how exceptional the boss was, but at this moment, matching the young man before them with the legendary "God Jiang" whom they knew online, the shock and excitement were unparalleled!
Being able to work under such a "legendary boss" made them passionately and eagerly anticipate the company’s future!
Jiang Tao looked at his excited employees, smiled, without denying anything, just gently encouraged them with a few words before signaling for the training to continue.
After touring the office area, Jiang Tao went to the general manager’s office, accompanied by Yan Ping and Jiang Jiaqi.
The office was set up to be simple yet functional, with a large desk, guest sofa, file cabinet, and greenery, all present.
With the door closed, the outside noise was shut off.
Jiang Tao took out two significantly thicker red envelopes, specifically wrapped in special red paper, from his hand-held bag and handed them separately to Jiang Jiaqi and Yan Ping.
"Jiaqi, you’ve worked hard running around for this period."
"Yan Ping, the company is just starting, and there’s so much to do, thank you for your hard work."
"Here’s a token of my appreciation, please take it."
"Thank you, President Jiang!"
Jiang Jiaqi and Yan Ping thanked him in unison, their faces brimming with uncontrollable joy and emotion.
They reached out to take Jiang Tao’s red envelopes, feeling the thickness and texture of the envelopes with a pinch, both were taken aback!
The red envelopes Jiang Tao gave them were evidently much thicker than those given to other employees!
Inside, there was definitely no less than ten thousand yuan!
