Chapter 67 1/2

At the Starlight anniversary celebration venue, when Shengquan saw Yuxiang Wan walking towards her with a smile, she was stunned.

Then Gu Zhaofang arrived, and she was stunned again.

These two people were already good-looking and usually considered very conscious of their appearance. However, tonight, dressed up, it was not an exaggeration to say that they were almost glowing.

Shengquan admired them openly, feeling that these two were indeed exceptionally talented.

Every day, one was busier than the other, yet their appearance seemed not to decrease but to rise.

But thinking that both of them were her subordinates, she felt happy again.

There were still quite a few Starlight Entertainment employees, and although this anniversary celebration was divided into two batches, the company still booked a large banquet hall in this hotel that could accommodate everyone.

As the time approached, the seats gradually filled up.

Before the scheduled time, Shengquan and Xu Man chatted while leaning against each other. Xu Man was mainly inquiring about what prizes were available tonight, and Shengquan insisted on maintaining a mysterious air.

Xu Man: “…”

The more Shengquan pretended to be mysterious about the prizes, the more Xu Man couldn’t bear it.

The first-anniversary celebration of Starlight Entertainment officially began.

Just like a year-end party, employees were also required to perform.

All departments were very enthusiastic.

The internal competition video from last time had indeed united the department’s atmosphere. Everyone rallied, with each person contributing ideas. Finally, they watched the video they had made together, which was liked and praised by people. It felt really good.

Especially since the company also gave consolation prizes to those who didn’t win any awards. Although it couldn’t compare to the rich prizes of the five award-winning departments, everyone realized one thing:

The brilliance of the stars will not let hardworking employees suffer.

So, in this anniversary celebration of employee performance, the department that won awards last time is determined to continue winning, while the department that only received consolation prizes wants to redeem itself and regain glory.

Perhaps they haven’t realized it themselves, but they now have a sense of belonging and collective pride in the company and their respective departments.

Sheng Quan noticed.

She was suddenly in a very good mood.

Especially when she discovered that all the performances, be it skits, dances, songs, or even cross-talks, were entertaining.

The employees of Xingmang are truly outstanding talents handpicked from a hundred, and almost every department’s performance was flawless.

Isn’t it just missing a penny? I’ll give you a hundred, okay? “

Just missing one penny? Fine, today, let’s perish together! “

“Hahaha!”

When the Finance Department’s skit reached this point, the laughter from the employees below echoed, and Sheng Quan couldn’t contain her laughter, leaning and swaying.

Yu Xiangwan supported her and looked at Sheng Quan, who was almost in tears from laughter, and couldn’t help but smile.

Gu Zhaoyi has never been known for his sense of humor, but seeing Sheng Quan so happy, even to the point of slapping his thigh while laughing, he couldn’t help but reveal a smile.

The actors on stage, seeing the company’s top executives amused, became even more energetic, and the laughter spread outside, making the hotel staff curious.

“Just an anniversary celebration; why is it so lively?”

Although corporate anniversaries are not usually dull, with applause and cheers, it’s rare to be as lively as this. The noise and laughter seemed to almost lift the ceiling.

Another waiter gestured with his eyes for his colleague to look ahead and say, “More than just lively, see who’s there?”

The puzzled waiter looked over and was startled. “The CEO? Why is he here?”

In front of them, where the waiters should be standing, was the CEO of their hotel, currently clapping and laughing.

This was a rare sight. While their hotel might not be a five-star one, it was still quite reputable, and many big companies chose it for their events. But usually, it’s the managers who handle such matters. The CEO personally coming over was a first since the waiter started working there.

The waiter peeked inside and said in confusion, “This company doesn’t seem that big. Xingmang Entertainment sounds familiar, but hasn’t the CEO come personally a bit too much? When did he arrive?”

“He came early, and he’s been busy arranging everything himself.” The well-informed waiter explained in a low voice, “The company is not that large indeed, but it’s not small either. I know one thing for sure: the CEO’s visit is at the chairman’s orders.”

“The chairman?”

The waiter was even more surprised. Their chairman, apart from this hotel, owned other companies as well. In his eyes, the chairman was already a super-wealthy person. The fact that the CEO came personally was indeed a special occasion.

He quickly figured out a reason: “Maybe this company has some connection with the chairman? I took a quick glance, and most of their management seems quite young.”

Second-generation entrepreneurship is not uncommon.

If starting a business could achieve this kind of result, looking at the employees working so diligently and loving the company, he felt this company could likely grow bigger.

The festivities inside continued. Gu Zhaoyi also took the stage to deliver a speech. Surprisingly, he was wearing a light green suit today, accentuating his sharp and deep facial features and giving off a sacred and inviolable beauty, like a domineering CEO from novels.

Sheng Quan clapped while thinking. No wonder Gu Zhaoyi, despite never resorting to tactics like pleasing employees, still maintained popularity within the company. It made perfect sense.

Although Gu Zhaoyi usually seemed like a robot, when it came to uplifting and motivating speeches, he was quite inspiring. Sheng Quan suspected he must have watched those motivational videos with pumped-up speeches.

“Xingmang Entertainment has only been established for a year, but in this time, we’ve signed 121 artists. Through the efforts of the entire company, among these 121 artists, those with fan bases reaching the tens of millions are…”

“Over the past year, the salary increase at Xingmang has averaged a 35 percent rise.”

“In this year, Xingmang has expanded rapidly from a small team to…”

With the employees already feeling a sense of belonging to the company, Gu Zhaoyi’s words stirred genuine pride within them.
