Leaders' visit

"Xie Zhang, Xie Zhang, what did you say? Your company gave you another raise?"

"Yes, they did."

"How much did they increase?"

"200 yuan per person."

"Oh my, so you had 500 before, now it's 700."

"That's right."

"Not only that, our boss, Chen Yu, said that as long as we work well, there will be more raises in the future."

"Wow, Xie Zhang, does your company still need more people?"

"Do you guys still need more people?"

"Well, I'm not sure, you'd have to ask Jian Ge. But Jian Ge rarely comes back to school."

After Chen Yu gave everyone a raise at the company, Xie Zhang and the others returned to school and began boasting. Of course, they weren't exaggerating; they were simply speaking the truth. However, this plain truth made their classmates envy them greatly.

"Teacher Zhang is here."

"It's so lively here. Oh, Xie Zhang, didn't you all go out to work?"

While they were talking, their class teacher, Zhang Xin, walked over.

"Teacher Zhang, you haven't been in class for a long time. You've come back to strengthen the relationship with your classmates."

That's what they said, but in reality, Xie Zhang and the others usually lived on campus. However, when they returned to school, they typically went straight to the dormitories and didn't spend much time in the classrooms.

"Hehe, strengthening relationships is a good thing. By the way, I heard that your job perks are quite good, 500 yuan a month."

"Teacher Zhang, Xie Zhang and the others got a raise; it's 700 yuan now."

A classmate nearby chimed in, "It's 700 yuan now; they got a raise so quickly?"

Zhang Xin was a bit surprised.

"Hehe, Teacher Zhang, you might not know, but they received a bonus of over 2,000 yuan a while ago."

Previously, for reaching a high level in a game, Xie Zhang and his friends received over 2,000 yuan, which was around 700 yuan per person. Later, they received another bonus when they suggested additional content development, adding up to nearly 2,000 yuan.

"Over 2,000 yuan."

Hearing about the bonus of over 2,000 yuan, Zhang Xin was even more astonished.

Well, as teachers, they earned only around 1,000 yuan a month. Xie Zhang and his friends earned 700 yuan a month, and they occasionally received bonuses, which was more than the teachers' salaries.

"Don't listen to their nonsense; we only received a bonus of a little over 1,600 yuan, not over 2,000 yuan."

Xie Zhang said somewhat embarrassed.

"A little over 1,600 yuan is still a lot, Xie Zhang. I heard your company is involved with the internet business. What kind of work do you mainly do?"

"I mainly work on content development for websites and cooperate with major gaming companies for promotions."

"Xie Zhang, can we visit your company?"

"Well..."

Xie Zhang didn't respond. "I'll have to go back and seek approval from the management."

"Sure, tell your superiors. If it's convenient, we'll visit your company this Saturday."

"Alright, thanks, Teacher Zhang."

The next day, Xie Zhang returned to the company and immediately spoke to Zhang Jianming.

"Jian Ge, Teacher Zhang said she wants to visit the company. What should we do?"

"Did you agree?"

"I'm just a little soldier; how could I dare to agree?"

"Alright, I'll check with Boss Chen."

This matter, neither too small nor too big, led Zhang Jianming to approach Chen Yu's office.

"Jian Ge, what's up?"

"Well, I need to request something."

"Hehe, Jian Ge, what's there to request? Just tell me."

"Um, it's that Xie Zhang ran into our class teacher when he went back to school yesterday, and our class teacher became curious about our company. She mentioned wanting to visit this Saturday. What do you think?"

"It's fine."

Chen Yu agreed without much thought.

"Chen Yu, you agreed just like that?"

"Why wouldn't I?"

"But..."

"But what?"

"About our..."

"Our conditions are already good. Many startups don't have the conditions we have."

Chen Yu looked around the office and didn't see any problems.

"No, I meant, I'm afraid that our class teacher might think you're too young..."

"Oh, I see. Don't worry, I've already run this company. If I'm concerned about something like this, I shouldn't be running it. So, it's settled. Next Saturday, you invite your school teachers to visit."

"Alright."

Since Chen Yu had agreed, Zhang Jianming had nothing more to say.

On Saturday, Zhang Xin brought several colleagues and a few school leaders to Chen Yi Square.

"Dear leaders, we're here."

"Teacher Zhang, have you been here before?"

"No, it's my first time too, and to be honest, I'm quite curious."

"Hehe, curiosity is unavoidable. Who would believe that in a small place like Xinfeng, there could be an internet company?"

"Right, I even thought it was a computer sales company at first. But after looking into it, I realized it's a legitimate internet business."

"Director Li, you even investigated?"

"How could I not? Our school has over ten people working for him. What if they ended up in some shady company?"

"Director Li, you're quite sharp."

Several teachers chatted and laughed, and at this moment, Xie Zhang and his colleagues approached.

"Teacher Zhang, Director Li, hello."

"Xie Zhang, why have you come?"

"Boss Chen was afraid you wouldn't find your way, so he asked us to wait upstairs for you."

"Boss Chen is considerate."

"Teachers, please, follow me to the second floor."

Xie Zhang led the teachers upstairs.

"Wow, your company looks nice."

Although the company had been established not long ago, the office space was over 200 square meters. In the middle, there were a dozen computers and various office equipment, with a small resting area on the side. At first glance, even though they didn't yet know the company's main business, it had a certain high-tech feel to it.

"Teachers are welcome to come and give guidance."

After observing the office environment, Zhang Xin and the others were led out of the office by Chen Yu.

"Who is this?"

"Teacher Zhang, let me introduce you. This is our Boss Chen."

Zhang Jianming introduced, "This is Teacher Zhang, this is Director Li, and this is Teacher Cao..."

"Boss Chen?"

"Are you Chen Simian?"

Director Li adjusted his glasses and asked.

"Chen Simian is my father."

Chen Yu explained.

"So, this company?"

"I registered this company. However, when I registered the company, I was not yet 18 years old, so I couldn't register. I used my father's ID to register."

"I see."

With that explanation, everyone understood.

"Boss Chen, you're really talented."

Director Li exclaimed.

Previously, he had assumed that the owner of "Huanyu Technology" (Universal Technology) was a middle-aged person.

"Director Li, you're too kind. In fact, I'm about the same age as Xie Zhang and the others. Please, don't call me Boss Chen, just call me by my name, Chen Yu."

"Boss Chen, you're being too modest. People of your age are busy studying in school, how could they be running a company like you?"

Though he said this, Director Li still felt a bit uneasy.

Looking at the company's information on the wall, he asked, "Are you an internet company?"

"Yes."

"Have you created your own website?"

"We currently operate a game related website, 5173.com."

"Ah, 5173.com..."

Director Li didn't think much of 5173.com. He hadn't heard of it. Zhang Xin also didn't show any particular reaction. But the male teacher Cao, who was standing nearby, exclaimed.

"Teacher Cao, have you heard of 5173.com before?"

"I have. It's a well-known website."

Teacher Cao said, "I've bought equipment on this website."

"Bought equipment?"

"What?"

"Teacher Cao, what does that mean?"
