A routine inquiry for directions turned out to be a minor episode that didn't attract much attention. After Wan Min-er informed everyone of the company's location, the group departed with laughter and chatter.

They had just disembarked from the plane and hurriedly shuttled between the airport, the hotel, and the company, and the weather in Pengcheng was scorching. One would think they should be quite tired, but there was no sign of fatigue on their faces.

The company's daily tasks were not particularly demanding, and they had been granted a six-day consecutive holiday. The employees were already quite idle.

Moreover, the company they were about to visit was one of the earliest entertainment and media companies to go public in the country, with a prestigious reputation.

Given the opportunity to interact with an industry leader, it was easy to understand the excitement of the employees.

"Boss, look at the other companies' office buildings, tsk tsk. The landscaping, these two large stone lions, these pine trees..." Chang Zhiqing looked around and exclaimed, "It's truly a top-tier city, a top-tier listed company, very high-end."

Xplendi Entertainment's office building was among the best in the local area, but it couldn't be compared to the working environment at Moon Mansion Media.

Gao Naiyun spent most of her time in the frontier, and this was her first time in such a supercity. The young woman was deeply impressed by the skyscrapers all around and couldn't help saying, "The boss can have this in the future too!"

Although Xplendi Group had been established not long ago, the employees believed that under the wise leadership of Yang Ruoqian, they would one day have such a working environment.

Even though the current working conditions were already very good, Xplendi Group was, after all, a small company, and there should still be a significant gap with well-established listed companies like Moon Mansion Media... right?

This was what most employees who hadn't worked elsewhere were thinking.

But Yang Ruoqian didn't mind. Because he was sure that even if it was a listed company, it might have a large territory, but in terms of the internal environment, it couldn't be as crazy as his company.

For most companies, every unrelated expense saved meant putting more money in their pockets.

But for Yang Ruoqian, who prohibited any means of transferring company funds into personal accounts, saving money was equivalent to eroding his employees' morale.

As they reached the front desk, each of them registered, then took the elevator to the floor where Moon Mansion Media was located.

When the elevator doors closed, Lu Shuyuan couldn't help but exclaim, "From the 18th floor to the 22nd, a whole five floors! It's all their territory!"

As soon as she said this, the employees began discussing it excitedly.

"Even more than that. I just checked the property rights of this office building, and it's owned by Moon Mansion Media. They just don't need all of it, so they rent out other floors to other companies."

"Impressive..."

"This is what it means to be an industry leader. How much would a building like this cost in Pengcheng?"

"Probably at least 1 billion?"

"Mind-boggling."

Listening to the employees' lively discussions, Yang Ruoqian's lips twitched slightly.

As long as you don't work so hard, and they produce a "passerby-level" 18th-tier artist every month, it would only take half a year to buy a whole office building.

Unfortunately, Yang Ruoqian was currently striving not to let his income drop from 55,000 to 5,500, and it wasn't as easy as buying an entire office building.

Soon, the elevator stopped on the 18th floor.

As soon as the doors opened, Yang Ruoqian saw a man in his thirties, dressed in a suit, waiting at the entrance to greet them.

"Is this General Manager Yang? A young and promising figure... Welcome, welcome, I'm Lin Cao, the manager of Yuefu's talent agency."

As he shook hands, he discreetly glanced inside the elevator.

He couldn't help but be a bit surprised.

Not to mention anything else, there were quite a few employees of Xplendi Entertainment who were quite good-looking.

"I've heard of you." Yang Ruoqian casually complimented, "Manager Lin, you seem to be an extraordinary individual."

After an awkward exchange of business pleasantries, both sides fell into a momentary silence.

Lin Cao was the first to break the silence, "Shall I take Mr. Yang on a tour?"

At the same time, he also reached a conclusion in his mind - this young man, who didn't look much different from a recent college graduate, was not a simple character.

As the owner of a company, his clothing was not overly formal but not casual either. He lacked a domineering presence but also didn't make himself seem cheap; he was in just the right position.

So young, and it seems that all of his subordinates obey him unquestioningly. This indicates that he must have achieved something to earn the respect and loyalty of all the employees, rather than simply relying on his position to exert pressure.

Such a person's success is definitely not by chance...

Lin Cao, who had tried to lure Gao Naiyun and Huang Rushi with the prospect of showcasing the high benefits and treatment of a listed company, now had a somewhat uncomfortable feeling. Such an opponent was very difficult to deal with, and trying to poach people from his side would be like trying to move mountains.

Yang Ruoqian, observing Lin Cao's solemn demeanor, couldn't help but find it odd. He couldn't understand why this man was so serious.

Could it be that Lin Cao genuinely believed that so-called "learning and exchange" would yield something meaningful? Or did the manager think that his attire for the trip was somehow disrespectful?

After a moment's thought, Yang Ruoqian spoke, "Thank you, Manager Lin."

Lin Cao nodded and led Yang Ruoqian to visit a few departments he was most proud of.

"Everyone, here is the company's artist training center. All Yuefu's anchors and artists can receive small-group instruction from professional instructors for free."

"And here is our operations department. Every anchor in the Yuefu Group doesn't need to worry about anything beyond live streaming. This includes cover design, UI planning, event planning, and more. Professionals handle all these aspects tailored to the anchor's target audience, greatly saving the anchors' energy."

"We also have a dedicated design department for creating customized artwork and merchandise designs for our artists to expand their influence."

"Then there's the legal department, which can protect the legal rights and interests of our anchors to a great extent."

"Here is the public relations department..."

Lin Cao was speaking with great enthusiasm, but to his surprise, everyone from Xplendi Entertainment, from the leader to the employees, responded calmly.

What's going on?

Could it be that these incentives aren't tempting enough?

Little did he know that there was a reason for the lack of reaction from Yang Ruoqian's group.

Free training classes?

Even a fool knows that this is a trap, who are you trying to deceive?

Operations department?

Our boss, Yang Ruoqian, is the most powerful operator there is. Do you even understand the value of creating two top anchors in a single month?

Design department? Art design? Expanding influence?

Compared to the advertisements for Snowflake Ice City, this seems rather unnecessary.

Legal department?

Even a pig could tell that a legal department is mostly aimed at their own people.

Public relations department?

The only advice our boss gives to employees is to do whatever they want, there's no such thing as public relations here. It will never exist.

As they looked at the narrow spacing between office desks, the long-neglected break room, and the cramped broadcasting room, the people who had initially been looking forward to a large, listed company now had only one thought in their minds.

Is this it?
