One day, Chen Haoxuan, feeling bored, decided to check how many employees he actually had. He created a table for all the subsidiaries, groups, factories, and stores to fill in the number of their personnel. It took the various subsidiaries and branches a week to tally their numbers because some large factories had hundreds of thousands of workers, and some even reached a million. The smallest factories still had thousands of employees.
Once all the subsidiaries and branches completed their forms, Chen Haoxuan took half an hour to calculate the total number of employees. When he saw the result, he was shocked to find that he had over one hundred million people working for him. Over one hundred million people! This also meant that he was supporting more than one hundred million employees. Some small countries do not even have a population of one hundred million, which shows just how terrifyingly vast Chen Haoxuan's business empire had become. The average salary for regular employees in his industries was around two thousand Renminbi, while office workers earned about three to four thousand. Managers made over ten thousand and received bonuses as well. Including the talented individuals Chen Haoxuan had previously recruited, each earning a million Renminbi, the total monthly salary he needed to pay his employees amounted to three hundred billion Renminbi.
This figure was staggering! This wasn't an annual figure; it was a monthly expense of three hundred billion Renminbi for salaries alone. Even medium-sized countries could not afford to support that many people or pay such high wages because governments also need to spend money on military salaries, police salaries, officials' salaries, infrastructure development, and more.
Chen Haoxuan felt proud of this achievement; it was certain that he would be remembered in history for it. To announce this milestone, he held a press conference where he revealed the total number of his employees to the media. The news caused a sensation worldwide; everyone knew that Chen Haoxuan had many people working for him, but no one knew the exact number until now. When Chen Haoxuan announced that he had over one hundred million employees, who wouldn't be shocked by such a number?
As soon as the press conference ended, various media outlets rushed to print newspapers and broadcast news reports in hopes of achieving high ratings. Foreign media outlets were not far behind; they began transmitting information back to their companies before Chen Haoxuan even returned home so they could report immediately.
Among these news stories, one particularly captivating article was titled "In Ancient Times There Were Landlords; Today There Are Wealthy Tycoons." This article discussed how the richest individuals in ancient times were landlords who not only possessed wealth but also employed many workers. It noted that Chen Haoxuan had purchased vast amounts of land to build factories and companies while employing over a hundred million workers. Thus, it compared him to ancient landlords but highlighted that while landlords primarily made money from farming, Chen Haoxuan earned his wealth through producing various products and reinvesting his profits—hence calling him a wealthy tycoon was more fitting.
Chen Haoxuan saw this article and felt it was quite insightful; he appreciated the journalist who wrote it. He called the news station to inquire about the author and laughed when he found out it was a reporter known for being an avid player of the card game Landlord. The reporter loved discussing landlords and farmers with others and immediately thought of landlords when hearing about Chen Haoxuan's vast employee count, leading to this creative article.
Although the reporter may not have been exceptionally talented, coming up with such a creative idea showed good fortune on their part. To reward the reporter, Chen Haoxuan donated one hundred thousand Renminbi to the news station with instructions for the manager to give it to them.
While others believed Chen Haoxuan was now very wealthy, only he and Chen Yina knew that he was actually quite poor because most of his money went towards charitable causes—helping impoverished people, building schools, constructing bridges, paving roads, and so on.
Chen Haoxuan could now be considered a leading figure; global trends followed him as economies rose alongside his business practices. As he raised salaries for his employees, other businessmen followed suit to encourage their own workers' productivity. How far had Chen Haoxuan come? Even if he wore clothes typical of a beggar out in public, others would call it artistic fashion; if he donned old garments from before, people would say vintage styles were in vogue.
That afternoon, a guest arrived at Chen Haoxuan's home—Meilin Huang. She came personally with an invitation for him to attend her solo performance. Meilin Huang had grown into a beautiful young woman; she had curves in all the right places and resembled her mother in her youth. She was no longer the same Meilin Huang from before; she had become a big star known as a piano master.
Everyone knew how Meilin Huang achieved her current status—it was thanks to Chen Haoxuan's guidance and her performances alongside Song Fangfang combined with extensive promotion from Chen Haoxuan that propelled her into fame.
For Chen Haoxuan, Meilin Huang genuinely liked him from the bottom of her heart. He was the first man who made her feel that men could be handsome, the first man to think of her, and the first man who changed her life. He was also the first man she had feelings for. There were too many firsts; the only thing missing was giving him her most precious first.
In Chen Haoxuan's office (he set up an office at home for convenience, and whenever he needed to handle his business, he would come here), Meilin Huang sat on the sofa opposite him, gripping a ticket tightly in her hands. She didn't know if she was shy, nervous, or just too excited to see Chen Haoxuan. She stammered, "Xuan, Brother Xuan, do you have time the day after tomorrow? I... I... our company organized a piano recital for me, and I would like to invite you to listen to me play."
"Meilin, that's great! You're already holding a personal piano recital. As your teacher, of course I have to go! Just tell me the location and time, and I will definitely be there. Not only will I go, but I'll also wear my signature outfit," Chen Haoxuan replied with a smile.
Meilin Huang stood up and walked to Chen Haoxuan's desk, placing the ticket on the table. Excitedly, she said, "Brother Xuan, this is the ticket. My personal piano recital is at New City University, and it starts at seven o'clock the day after tomorrow."
"Alright, I'll take this ticket. I will definitely be there," Chen Haoxuan said with a smile.
"Mm-hmm, I believe you, Brother Xuan," Meilin Huang nodded happily.
