When Boss Ling came back online for the meeting, all the higher-ups were dumbfounded, and they looked at him cautiously.
A few bold people couldn’t help but want to ask their boss what had happened just now, but their boss was already speaking first.
“I had something on just now, which delayed everyone. Your salary will be doubled this month, and your dividends increased by 10%.”
Ah, ah?
Everyone was collectively dumbfounded!
This, this, was this the stingy big boss of the Ling family who looked like he wasn’t to be trifled with?
They still remembered how many people had hit him when he was down when his family ran into trouble back then. Every time someone wanted to take advantage of the situation to increase prices, he would say coldly and mercilessly, “My money is for my wife. Who are you to increase the prices as you like?”
In the company, he would give out bonuses to very hardworking and capable employees.
However, employees who were muddle-headed or even tried to fish in troubled waters would have their basic salary deducted for various reasons until there was little left, leaving them completely speechless.
Everyone secretly called him “stingy boss.”
This sudden generosity made no sense!
Who knew which idiot it was who couldn’t help but be curious and ask, “Boss, did something good happen? Given your usual style, you’ll at most give a few bonuses to Old Liu and Old Zhao. Why is it that even Old Li, Old Miao, and the others…”
“D*mn you!” They too had been working hard for the company recently!
After being called out, these people who usually liked to slack off secretly wanted to strangle that idiot. They were afraid that the boss would come back to his senses and cut their pay.
However, their big boss said, “It’s indeed a happy occasion, but you don’t have the right to know yet. Continue with the meeting.”
“Yes, yes!”
Everyone felt like they had been granted amnesty, and immediately continued “obediently” with the meeting.
It was rare for the boss to be so generous. They had to savor it! No, they had to work harder for the boss!
…
When Lu An came out, Big Brother had already hung up.
It was her fault; she forgot to bring her phone with her when she went out in the morning.
Lu An immediately went back to call Big Brother.
Very quickly, Big Brother picked up.
Big Brother first asked her what she had been doing just now, and Lu An gave a vague answer.
After that, Big Brother said that there was an awards ceremony tomorrow night, and asked her if she was free to be his plus one.
“Of course!”
Lu An agreed without hesitation.
Big Brother’s work was nominated for the Golden Horse Awards; she definitely had to attend.
Who knew, she might even gain some experience!
“Then, I’ll pick you up at 7pm tonight. It’ll probably be midnight by the time we arrive by plane. I heard that there are a lot of great snacks over there, so I’ll take you out to have fun?”
“Oh, alright! Snacks are the best!”
Lu An couldn’t help but speak excitedly; she had never gone anywhere ever since she returned to the real world.
On the other side, a certain big brother’s lips couldn’t help but curl up.
He had thought that his little sister would cry to him about how tired filming was, and how she really didn’t have time, and would apologize for not being able to go.
Thinking back, he had acted as the protagonist when he first debuted.
That was because he had just come out of the forest then, and had a cold and criminal air about him. A director had taken a liking to his aura and insisted on getting him to act.
To be honest, he didn’t have any intention of entering the entertainment industry in the beginning. Without any phone signal in the forest, he had no idea at all what the entertainment industry was like. However, when he saw the pay the director was offering, he was tempted.
