Leveling Up With My Pet



Qiu Yang's excitement knew no bounds as he stammered, [ "Boss, this...this is incredible! On behalf of the entire staff, thank you from the bottom of our hearts! " ]

Liu Yong's laughter reverberated in the room. [ " The Boss is here to make dreams come true. Let's continue expanding and creating opportunities for everyone. " ]

Next, Liu Yong passionately shared his vision with the team:

[ " The future headquarters of our company will reside in the majestic Universal Building, " ] Liu Yong stated, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

[ " And to support our employees, the Global Shipping Group will develop and construct a residential area that boasts convenient transportation to the Global Building. Ideally, we'll have direct bus or subway connections. " ]

His voice brimming with excitement, Liu Yong continued, [ " The houses we build will be exquisitely decorated, offering a move-in-ready experience. Imagine walking in with just your bags. " ]

He emphasized, [ " While the Global Shipping Group will hold the property rights to these houses, the employees will have the right to use them indefinitely. As long as you work here, you'll have a place to call home. " ]

Liu Yong's grand vision was to transform the Global Shipping Group into a renowned global corporation known for its extensive scale, formidable strength, and exceptional employee benefits. He understood that attracting elite talent required offering remarkable advantages.

After Liu Yong presented his idea, Qiu Yang sought clarification [ " Boss, how much budget should we allocate for developing and constructing the employee housing complex? " ]

Liu Yong waved his hand confidently and replied, [ " Let's start with 2 billion. We must ensure that the quality of the community matches high-end residential complexes in the market. In the first phase, we'll build 1,000 houses, classified into three grades: two-bedroom apartments, three-bedroom apartments, and four-bedroom apartments. " ]

Ordinary employees would be assigned two-bedroom apartments, supervisors would receive three-bedroom flats, and managers would be allocated four-bedroom apartments.

Qiu Yang's enthusiasm couldn't be contained, and his voice filled with excitement as he spoke, [ " This is incredible! A thousand houses—it's truly a monumental undertaking! And this is only the beginning. I can already envision future phases with even more houses. " ]

Meanwhile, He Hua, a new employee who had just completed his two-month internship, diligently focused on his work. Suddenly, his mobile phone buzzed with a notification from the workgroup. Curiosity piqued, he quickly picked up his phone and read the message, his face lighting up joyfully.

The work group comprised over a dozen members, including their team supervisor, Bao Bigong. It was Bao Bigong who had sent the message with exciting news. He Hua read the announcement aloud, [ " Everyone, I have great news to share! The Boss will be giving each of us an additional bonus of 3,000 yuan. It will be credited to our accounts within the next couple of days. " ]

The previously calm WeChat group erupted with excitement as everyone expressed their jubilation:

[ " This is fantastic! I can't believe it's 3,000 yuan per person! " ]

[ " Pinch me, I must be dreaming! This is such a generous bonus! " ]

[ " Haha, now I won't have to worry about next month's rent! " ]

[ " Our Boss is truly remarkable! I'm so grateful! " ]

Observing his colleagues' enthusiastic reactions, He Hua couldn't help but join in, typing a few messages to convey his current mood. This news was a blessing for him, as financial pressure weighed on his mind. With rent costing 1,500 yuan per month and recently taking on the expenses of a girlfriend, he had almost depleted last month's salary. He had even contemplated using his credit card to cover the shortfall.

But now, with the arrival of the 3,000 yuan bonus, his worries dissipated. The timing couldn't have been better. But the surprises didn't end there. Supervisor Bao Bigong dropped another bombshell in the group chat:

[ " And that's not all, " ] Bao Bigong announced. [ " The company has plans to allocate a whopping 2 billion yuan for the development of a residential complex exclusively for our employees. We aim to construct 2,000 beautifully furnished houses. In just a few months, each one of you will have a place to call your own. " ]

The news reverberated through the workgroup, causing an eruption of excitement:

[ " Is this for real? I can't believe how amazing our company is! " ]

[ " The fact that they're building houses for us... I'm speechless! Boss, I'm eternally grateful! " ]

[ " This company is beyond incredible. I now declare that I will never leave. I'll work here until retirement! " ]

The excitement permeated beyond the work group, spreading like wildfire as the news circulated throughout the company. Even aboard a large bulk ship of the Global Shipping Group, sailing across the Pacific Ocean, the captain couldn't contain his joy as he shared the news with the entire crew.

[ " Attention, everyone! " ] the captain announced. [ " We have some extraordinary news to celebrate. The company will be awarding each one of us a bonus of 3,000 yuan, and it will be deposited into our accounts within the next two days. " ]

The crew erupted in cheers and applause. But it wasn't just the bonus that ignited their excitement. It was the revelation that the company would be constructing houses for its employees, ensuring that each would have a home in the future.

[ " I never imagined I'd have a place in a bustling city like Huahai City, " ] one crew member marvelled.

[ " Once I have my house, I'll finally be able to reunite with my wife and children, " ] another crew member exclaimed.

[ " This makes all the hard work worthwhile! " ] Another declared.

[ " Yes, the toil and effort we've put in throughout our lives—it's all for the chance to own a house in a prominent city, " ] another crew member said.

With Liu Yong's decision to build houses for his employees, his stature and reputation soared. Some employees even chanted, [ " The boss is mighty, " ] expressing their utmost admiration and respect.

Meanwhile, preparations were underway at the National Athletic Center for the upcoming IAAF Diamond League event in RB. Today they marked the final practice session before the athletes travelled to RB to compete.

A crowd gathered by the 100-meter track, where two team members positioned themselves at the starting line. Jiang Xiang, the head coach of the track and field team, held the starting gun, his voice resounding with authority as he commanded, [ " Take your positions, everyone. " ]

[ " Get ready... Run! " ]

A gunshot echoed through the air, propelling the two athletes into a fierce sprint. The onlookers, including other track and field players, coaches, and staff members, erupted in cheers and applause.

While satisfied with the display, Jiang Xiang noticed a slight disparity in the athletes' reaction times. One of them had a quicker start, gaining an early advantage. These athletes were none other than Chen Hu and Su Lei.

Chen Hu exhibited a lightning-fast reaction, edging ahead of Su Lei by a body's length after 30 meters. As the race progressed, the distance between them widened until Chen Hu crossed the finish line first. [ " 9 seconds 42! " ] Jiang Xiang announced, his voice filled with pride.

[ " 10 seconds 01! " ] he reported the time for Su Lei.

The crowd erupted excitedly, applauding Chen Hu's prime time of 9.42 seconds—a remarkable achievement surpassing the current world record.

Jiang Xiang's heart brimmed with satisfaction. He knew Chen Hu's consistent performance would lead them to victory in the upcoming Diamond League event.

Recalling previous Diamond League competitions events, Jiang Xiang couldn't help but sigh. The track and field scene in Yan Guo could have been more robust, with limited success in many circumstances. Before Chen Hu's emergence, Su Lei held the best record for a Yan Guo athlete in the 100-meter event with a time of 9.99 seconds.

As the two athletes slowed down and came to a stop, Su Lei wore an admiring expression on his face. [ " Brother Chen, you're incredible. I can't even fathom running alongside you. It would be pure torture. " ]

Chen Hu smiled, radiating happiness. [ " You're no slouch yourself. You're the first person from China to run under 10 seconds. " ]

-HAHA!

Su Lei chuckled modestly. [ " Ah, my achievement pales in comparison. It's hardly worth mentioning. " ]

[ " Brother Chen, I can't wait to see you in action at the Diamond League. You'll leave the European and American athletes in awe, " ] Su Lei anticipated.
