Chapter 27

C27 – Flattery

Confused, the staff quickly arrived.

Upon exiting the car, they realized they had reached the city center.

Even if they were going to experience the rigors of farming, they expected to be headed to the countryside.

President Chen approached and greeted them, saying, “You’ve all made it.”

The employees noticed that President Chen’s expensive suit and leather shoes were carelessly discarded on the ground.

He had rolled up his pants and ventured barefoot into the mud.

His shirt was crumpled, and even his face bore traces of dirt.

The employees were taken aback.

“Today, we’re here to enhance our industry’s service quality and show appreciation for the toil of farmers. We’re hosting an event today. It’s a great opportunity. If you perform well, there might be promotions and raises for you.”

President Chen explained, “Your task for today is to clear out all the weeds from this land.”

President Chen stood there, cheering on the employees.

Upon hearing President Chen’s words, the employees suddenly noticed an empty space behind them.

The empty area was overrun with weeds, but there was someone amidst them.

After setting their objective, the bank employees began to motivate themselves to start working.

They shed their expensive suits worth thousands of dollars and their nearly ten-thousand-dollar smartphones onto the ground, and began pulling up the grass.

They aspired to emulate President Chen!

They aimed to get closer to President Chen!

By diligently uprooting the grass, they hoped to bring a smile to Mr. Su’s face.

If Mr. Su was pleased, it would please President Chen as well.

If President Chen was content, it could lead to salary increases for them.

Su Ming stood there, smiling, and said, “I appreciate your hard work, everyone.”

“We haven’t worked hard enough!”

“Thank you, Mr. Su, for granting us this opportunity to learn.”

“Mr. Su, you’re too modest. We’re not helping you; you’re helping us.”

The employees continued their discussions.

In the heart of the city, a group of well-paid and well-benefited bank employees was bent over, perspiring profusely as they plucked weeds.

This was a beautiful scene.
