Chapter 618: Summer Vacation Arrives
The whole company gets three days off for the retreat.
I have to say, taking the bus with the employees feels pretty youthful.
Those who want to sing sing, those who want to liven up the atmosphere go ahead. Once we arrived at Sun Island, the accommodation was individual villas.
The young employees gathered for BBQ, with beer and on the beach, sharing their dreams.
As for sports like golf, many people don't know how to play.
Even Chen Pingsheng doesn't like it, but Tang Jing really enjoys it.
She even called Chen Pingsheng to join the BBQ event later.
"Boss, why are you staying in the villa alone?"
"I'm just worried about disrupting your vibe, you know?"
"Not at all, if you join, I'm sure they'll be overjoyed, plus there's a special event today."
Tang Jing mysteriously invited him to join the employees' BBQ event in the evening.
A big group was gathered, grilling chicken wings and skewers of lamb.
Among them, two people looked particularly shy.
Tang Jing introduced that there were many rumors about these two at the company, just one unspoken thing remaining, and everyone was egging them on to get together.
Both are from out of town and have been with Tengying Group for about three years.
They've been colleagues for three years, and the company encourages lovers to get married, as long as there's no superior-subordinate relationship.
Amidst jeers, they even kissed each other.
With Chen Pingsheng around, the employees were inevitably nervous, so he left rather quickly.
The three-day retreat ended swiftly, Tang Jing was not entirely satisfied, because such activities happen only once a year.
Once over, we have to wait until next year.
Back at the company, everyone returns to their normal positions.
Tang Jing chose a few people this time, all around twenty-five or twenty-six, not much younger than his sister-in-law.
Tang Jing introduced their family background, character traits, and everything in detail.
Because it's about finding a match for the boss's sister-in-law, there can't be any negligence.
Of course, Chen Pingsheng can't directly approach them, so he can only let Tang Jing arrange it.
It's said to be a match with Song Wu; claiming not to be nervous would be a lie.
Actually, it's not really matchmaking, just letting them get to know each other first.
Tang Jing arranged it quickly, and as for Chen Pingsheng, as long as they have good character, it doesn't matter whether they have money or not.
In any case, the sister-in-law needs to choose someone she likes and is satisfied with.
Although she's a mother of two, she still looks beautiful and brings millions in dowry.
Many people would still be interested.
Chen Pingsheng checked and found that there are indeed many couples in the group, with quite a few weddings each year.
He straightforwardly instructed Tang Jing to plan a group wedding day, where all couples who have worked at the company for more than two years and get married on that day could receive an 880,000 yuan cash bride price from the group, as a gesture of good fortune.
It's also a kind of group blessing.
This event is not hard to pull off, just need to pick an auspicious day.
Chen Pingsheng thought about it and decided to set the date on National Day, October 1st.
"We can organize it this year. Those who meet the criteria can apply, and additionally, anyone who has worked in the group for more than two years and gets married can enjoy an interest-free loan to buy a house."
"Wow… these benefits are really something else."
"Just so-so, the pressure for young people to get married now is high, bride price and all are too exorbitant, especially in Magic City, where a girl's family demands a house if they're not well off, which can split up many young couples."
"Big boss, you really consider everything for them."
"Not bad, but it's just some small things."
Chen Pingsheng told Tang Jing to get on it immediately, as his three at home would be off for summer break in late June.
He had some small plans for where to go this summer but hadn't formally decided yet.
Every summer vacation, he mostly frees up his time to spend it with his daughter as she grows up.
This year is no exception, and Tang Jing actually knows this, the big boss aside from work is all about family, rarely having any other activities.
A person like him is simply beyond words.
Chen Pingsheng doesn't admit she's right, as he's just fulfilling his responsibility.
When he got home, the fleet of luxury cars belonging to Erya was back too.
This little girl, now every month she had to get a new top-end luxury car.
Money is not an issue; the key is in having fresh experiences.
As for Chen An'an, she rode her bicycle home. Their house was built around the mountain, just one building with no one else around.
When they reached the rooftop, Erya excitedly asked, "Dad, what's the plan for this summer break?"
"Don't worry, it definitely won't disappoint you."
"That's great! Is it going to be touring the world on a super yacht or visiting countries again?"
"None of that."
"Then what?" Erya was still very excited about the annual summer vacation activity. Last year they even managed to bring half of the entertainment industry to produce a mega historic educational drama costing billions.
This year wouldn't be any lesser.
Chen Pingsheng said, "I'm giving you two choices: for two months of summer vacation, first month you join your dad and I in running a BBQ shop, the second month, go anywhere in the world you like."
"And the second choice?"
"Run a BBQ for two months, and don't play at all."
Erya blinked her big eyes, wanting to ask her dad if he was serious. With their family conditions, is there any need to run a BBQ shop?
Then the spoiled brat Chen An asked curiously, "Dad, are you going to head to the city village like before?"
"Pretty much, actually it's something that should be arranged every few years. When Erya was small, she couldn't experience it, back when you hadn't even entered junior high, some things were hard to understand."
"This summer, Dad, I'm going to put aside my work and run a BBQ shop with you three for thirty days."
Alright… Chen An'an surely had no objections, on the contrary, she was quite fond of the idea.
Erya didn't care; it's just thirty days of BBQ after all, as long as there are no customers, she would play around happily.
As for Little Third Chen Lu, he was too young to have much of a say.
Wherever the big sisters go, he can only follow along.
For families like theirs, running a BBQ shop would be too easy.
Originally, he didn't plan to involve many people, but Chang Fu volunteered to sign up, likewise with Gao Hu.
Little cousin Jiang Peiyao also came to be a little waitress, as for dishwashing and such, they would hire others.
This summer, just like before, Chen Pingsheng needed to leave the majority of his time for the family.
Just relying on school education for his children was completely insufficient.
The key depends on how parents accompany their children.
