Chapter 320: Chapter 319: A Strong Sense of Dissonance [3rd Update, Bonus for 11,000 Rewards]

After tossing and turning for half an hour, Lu Xiaobu finally got out of bed.

"I finally understand why all the boys have Qilin arms."

Xiaobu peppered her words with her usual spiciness as she shook her sore arm.

"Cut it out, I’m not a Qilin arm, because I’m an electric motor."

Lu Xiaobu muttered, with a twist of the mouth.

He left the room.

After waiting for a bit.

Everyone was ready and set out.

Yes, they weren’t planning on dining at home today.

Because Lu’s father said something about not being good to do anything that involves water or cutting on the first day of the New Year.

There wasn’t much to say about the meal, as long as everyone was happy, that was enough.

...

On the second day of the New Year.

Li Jin came back.

Lu Xiaobu had given Zhang Meng and Li Jin half a day off, so the two brothers could go and have a good drink.

...

On the third day of the New Year.

Liang Lan came back.

"Young Master, Uncle Lu, Big Brother Lu, Second Brother Lu, I’m back."

Liang Lan returned to the villa.

She felt quite annoyed staying at home.

Because her family kept trying to set her up on blind dates.

Matchmakers were running to her house day after day.

Saying things like, you’re getting on in age, and if you wait any longer, you’ll turn into an old maid - the men they were introducing were some big bosses, marry them and you wouldn’t need to work anymore, blah blah blah!

If it were not for the New Year periods, she really would want to curse at them, just like Young Master Bu.

What do you mean no one wants her?

If she really wanted to get married, she could pick anyone across the Heavenly Dynasty!

She didn’t need them to introduce anyone.

And did they misunderstand something?

Do they really think those so-called good bosses and entrepreneurs dare to act pretentious in front of her?

She worked for Xiaobu, but those people they were introducing, weren’t even fit to work for her!

"Oh, Sister Lan is back?" Lu Xiaobu’s mouth curled up in a smile: "Come, let me check if you’ve grown any bigger?"

At this moment, Liang Lan, despite wearing a down jacket, still couldn’t hide her stunning figure, which made people’s hearts itch.

Especially when she took off the down jacket, just wearing a white wool sweater underneath, the upright feel was even more prominent, as if about to burst forth!

"Stop it, Young Master, you start teasing as soon as I’m back."

Liang Lan playfully scolded.

It really was more comfortable here in this family.

Father Lu and the others took turns to greet her warmly.

Uncle Lu even took out a red envelope and handed it to Liang Lan: "Take it, it’s just a gesture, you’re not lacking money anyway."

He didn’t just give it to Liang Lan, but to Zhang Meng, Li Jin, Xiaobu pepper, Wu Qianmin alike.

Liang Lan initially didn’t want it, but upon squeezing the envelope, she understood.

Because it likely contained at most five hundred yuan.

This really was just a token gesture.

Even the random tips tossed out by Young Master Bu when he was bored didn’t compare.

So she stopped being pretentious: "Then, thank you, Uncle Lu."

"That’s better."

Father Lu was also very happy; it’s New Year after all, the point is to be cheerful.

...

Soon, the time came to the seventh day of the New Year, when it was time to start work.

At this point, the impact that Lu Xiaobu had made during the annual meeting finally erupted.

The attendance rate in every company reached over ninety-eight percent.

Only a small number of people were absent due to some truly unavoidable reasons!

You must know that for some established companies, the post-New Year attendance rate generally only reaches about eighty percent, and this figure is usually tallied over two days, which means the seventh and eighth day of the New Year!

However, all companies under the Lu Group had only been established for half a year, or even just a few months, yet their attendance rate reached 95% in just one day.

What a terrifying figure!

And after the old employees came back, 80% of them could immediately dive into work without any hint of the post-holiday sluggishness.

Even the remaining 20% who were too lazy to do anything quickly adjusted their state in this atmosphere.

Because, starting today.

They will not only face competition among old colleagues.

But also the competition from newly recruited employees and new talents, pouring in like snowflakes.

A positive cycle has formed!

This leads to.

While other companies are still wondering how to adjust their employees’ states and how to motivate everyone to recover their spirit.

Lu Group’s Cola Company signed the first contract of the year, and it was a whopping 30 million order!

Although, this was partly thanks to Lu Xiaobu’s appearance at the Spring Festival Gala, it was still a good start for the new year.

"Young Master, would you like to take a look?"

Liang Lan asked Lu Xiaobu for his opinion.

This was a good start, after all, and if the Young Master could personally praise them, it would likely have an even bigger and better impact on the company.

"Sure, I’ve been eating every day, I’ve gained weight. It’s good to walk around."

Lu Xiaobu stretched and said.

That’s what the holidays are like, eat and eat, everyone gains a few pounds.

"All right, I’ll arrange it."

Liang Lan nodded her head.

...

Upon arriving at Cola Company, Lu Xiaobu personally met the employee who made the first sale and rewarded them with ten thousand yuan as a prize.

This set the whole company abuzz.

The already eager employees became even more fiercely motivated!

"Damn, it’s such a pity, I was just one step behind! Otherwise, Young Master Bu would have rewarded me."

"Envy, jealousy and hate! Not good enough, I need to hurry up and make a sale too!"

"Get moving, get moving! Cola Company has already received praise from Young Master Bu, aren’t you guys jealous?"

"Remember, work hard now, and maybe at this year’s annual meeting, you can sit on the Dragon Throne and hold a bunch of money!"

"..."

While they were striving, Lu Xiaobu, who had nothing else to do, wandered over to Cola Company’s cafeteria.

He wanted to see what his employees usually ate.

Well, it was not out of any concern for his employees; he was just bored out of his mind!

"Young Master Bu, hello!"

"Young Master Bu!"

"Young Master Bu, may you have thousands of autumns and dominion over Jianghu!"

As Lu Xiaobu entered, the room buzzed with waves of eager greetings.

"Young Master Bu actually cares about us so much, he even came to see our cafeteria."

"It’s wonderful, being able to work for Young Master Bu is the honor of my life!"

"I will fight, work hard, cheer on!"

"..."

"Uh-huh, okay, okay." Lu Xiaobu’s mouth twitched.

He realized that he couldn’t do anything normal without it being deliberately magnified and interpreted by people.

This was true from both a positive and negative perspective.

He started to roam around the cafeteria because he had a feeling that something was always missing.

What could it be?

Why was this sense of disharmony so strong?!

Walking around, his frown deepened.

Seeing his furrowed brow, the employees around him didn’t know what had happened.

Especially the chefs in the cafeteria, they thought Lu Xiaobu was dissatisfied with their cooking, so they each tasted the food they prepared.

But, they couldn’t find anything amiss.

Finally!

"Ha ha ha, I know now!"

Lu Xiaobu slapped his thigh as he realized where the discomfort was coming from!
