Chapter 257: Chapter 256: Buying Things Feels So Great

「Half an hour later.」

Lin Feng parked the car outside the shopping district.

He took the other three straight into a mall.

”Go look around and see if there’s anything you want to buy.”

”The company’s covering everything today!”

When Lin Feng finished speaking, the other three didn’t move.

They never expected team building to involve shopping, especially at such a high-end mall!

This was especially true for Tian Xiaowu, who had never experienced anything like this.

He was completely stunned.

Seeing the three of them standing motionlessly in the mall aisle like statues, Lin Feng said with a smile,

”We have a business trip to Cyan Mountain Town coming up, so you’ll need to get some proper outfits. We can’t go and lose face for our team!”

”Consider it a company perk. You can buy whatever you want.”

Hearing this, the others exchanged a glance.

Cao Ming put a hand on Tian Xiaowu’s shoulder and started walking toward a men’s clothing store.

”Come on. If Brother Feng says he’ll cover it, he’ll cover it!”

”It’s just a few pieces of clothing!”

With that, Cao Ming dragged the other two inside to start picking out clothes.

Du Hai didn’t snap out of his daze until Cao Ming tossed an outfit at him.

’I can’t believe team building could be this simple and direct...’

’The boss just takes you shopping himself.’

’Now this is what I call effective.’

’It’s way more practical than those team-building events where you go out to eat and drink and still have to pay your own way.’

The mall Lin Feng had brought them to was quite upscale.

At first, the three of them were a little reserved.

But later they gradually loosened up.

Lin Feng had the five million rewarded by the system.

It was to be used as the team’s activity fund.

A few outfits costing tens of thousands was nothing to him.

But this type of team-building activity was exceptionally good at building rapport.

At the very least, the other three were very happy with it.

After they finished buying clothes, Lin Feng had them take another lap around the mall.

”If you see anything else you like, buy it. We have more than enough in the team fund.”

Even so, they were all still a bit hesitant.

They mostly bought things they would use for work.

After all, even though Lin Feng said the funds were plentiful,

the other three had no idea just how large the budget was.

Whenever they asked Lin Feng about buying something, he would just nod without batting an eye.

By the time Lin Feng led the three of them out of the mall, they were all laden with shopping bags of all sizes.

Cao Ming said emphatically, ”No wonder girls love to shop so much. This feeling of buying things is incredible!”

Du Hai, standing beside him, couldn’t help but laugh. He clapped Cao Ming on the shoulder. ”The reason it feels so incredible is because you’re not the one paying!”

Hearing Du Hai’s words, Cao Ming chuckled and sidled up to Lin Feng.

”Of course it’s great when we have our President Lin footing the bill!”

Tian Xiaowu was always more conscious about money.

He did a quick mental calculation.

They had spent over a hundred thousand on clothes alone.

And that wasn’t even counting all the other miscellaneous items.

For Tian Xiaowu, this was more than what he could earn in two years of working and saving every single penny.

So, upon realizing the total cost, Tian Xiaowu hesitantly approached Lin Feng.

”President Lin, did we... spend a little too much?”

Actually, it wasn’t just Tian Xiaowu who felt this way.

Du Hai, the newcomer, also thought they had spent far too much.

’If this is for team building, then the budget is way too generous!’

Lin Feng just smiled and shook his head. ”This is nothing. Don’t worry, our company has money. The budget is more than enough!”

With that, he asked with a smile, ”Want to go to a bar tonight?”

Cao Ming had long been interested in bars. He immediately raised his hand and shouted, ”Of course we’re going!”

”I don’t have anything to do tonight anyway!”

’It’s my first day,’ Du Hai thought. ’It probably wouldn’t be a good look to refuse an invitation like this.’

’Besides, it’s just a bar.’

’I don’t have anything else to do anyway.’

’And it’s important to break the ice with my new colleagues.’

”I’ll go, too,” he said.

Seeing that everyone else was going, Tian Xiaowu felt he couldn’t really refuse either.

”I guess I’ll go, too...”

They had all assumed Lin Feng was just taking them to some place for a drink.

At the end of the day, it would just be eating, drinking, and relaxing.

Du Hai had been to plenty of gatherings like that.

But he never expected Lin Feng to drive to a rather secluded location.

They looked at the massive, two-story bar.

Cao Ming’s mouth hung open.

”We’re going in here?”

Cao Ming looked at the bar’s name, a little surprised.

Bars, too, came in different classes.

The one Lin Feng had brought them to was a high-end establishment.

Cao Ming had read about this bar on his phone before.

The average spend per person was around five to six thousand yuan.

And that was if you were being conservative.

Although Du Hai didn’t know about the bar beforehand like Cao Ming did,

he had a keen eye for things.

”President Lin, this place must be expensive, right?”

Hearing Du Hai’s question, Lin Feng nodded with a broad smile and uttered those now-familiar words:

”Don’t worry, there’s plenty in the team-building fund!”

As Lin Feng walked to the entrance,

the security guard’s expression immediately changed from the one he gave other patrons.

”Ah, Mr. Lin! Shall I take you to a private booth on the second floor?”

Lin Feng smiled and nodded. ”The second floor would be great. Is Brother Lei in?”

The guard naturally knew who Lin Feng was talking about.

It turned out the bar Lin Feng had chosen was none other than

the one owned by Chen Lei, whom he had met through Yang Qiniang.

Chen Lei had originally opened the bar purely as a passion project.

But since he came from a wealthy and influential family,

he went all out with the bar as well.

It was designed to be a high-end business.

The security guard had long since recognized Lin Feng; after all, it was his job to remember the faces of the boss’s friends.

Hearing Lin Feng’s question,

the guard shook his head with a smile.

”Brother Lei hasn’t been around lately. But since you’re his friend, Mr. Lin, we’ll make sure you get all the same perks.”

Lin Feng smiled, nodded, and led everyone inside.

Cao Ming looked astonished.

”Wow, Brother Feng, I can’t believe you actually know the owner of this place!”

Lin Feng gave Cao Ming a light rap on the head.

”Back when you were in the HR department, didn’t I have you organize the client files?”

”Isn’t Chen Lei, the owner of this bar, one of our company’s clients?”

”Right now, Chen Lei’s capital is still invested in Jiang Chao’s project team.”

It dawned on Cao Ming. ”Oh, that Chen Lei! The one whose brother invested five hundred million in our company!”

”I never would’ve guessed he was into running bars!”

Lin Feng nodded and led the three of them through the staff corridor, directly up to the private booths on the second floor.

Compared to the seating below,

the booths upstairs were higher up and offered a more panoramic view.

They even came with a dedicated bartender providing one-on-one service.

It was all about the premium service and treatment.

Tian Xiaowu and Du Hai listened to Cao Ming and Lin Feng’s conversation.

And they gained an even deeper appreciation for Lin Feng’s network.

A man who could make a client comfortable enough to entrust five hundred million to his company for investment...

...was certainly not lacking in connections or capability.

All sorts of liquors were mixed into new creations.

Du Hai felt that this kind of team building was truly a rare experience.

There was no need to worry about discussing work; they were truly just there to relax.

And the venue was incredibly high-end.

After a few rounds of drinks, even though it was Du Hai’s first day with the team,

any initial feeling of unfamiliarity and awkwardness had completely vanished.

Tian Xiaowu and Cao Ming were also easy-going people.

Lin Feng was also a very good boss.

Through a pleasant, drunken haze, Du Hai felt that the atmosphere of this team was simply perfect.

Lin Feng was sampling a new creation the bartender had recently developed.

Suddenly, he heard the system’s voice:

[DING...]

[Three team members’ loyalty to Host has significantly increased. Triggering random reward.]

[Random Reward: Five million in future team development funds. Funds have been transferred to Host’s private account via bank channels.]

The hand Lin Feng was using to hold his glass paused for a moment.

’I can’t believe it. I just used the team-building funds from the system to take these guys out for a good time...’

’...and it actually boosted their loyalty.’

Lin Feng used the rating system to check everyone’s current loyalty.

When Tian Xiaowu and Du Hai first came to Lin Feng’s company,

Tian Xiaowu’s loyalty had been over seventy.

Du Hai’s was only at fifty.

But now, when Lin Feng checked,

he saw that Tian Xiaowu’s loyalty had reached over ninety.

Du Hai’s was now over eighty as well.

”Not bad, not bad!”

Lin Feng smiled and nodded.

Cao Ming, who was a little drunk, thought Lin Feng was praising the drink.

He raised his glass to clink with Lin Feng’s and chimed in, ”I agree, this drink is great. It’s just making me a little dizzy.”

Although the cocktails mixed by the bartender didn’t have an overly strong alcoholic bite,

some of them had a rather high alcohol content.

Cao Ming was already tipsy after just a few sips.

He started incessantly grabbing Lin Feng to complain about Jiang Chao.

Now that Lin Feng no longer lived in the dorm and Yang Qiniang had gone to intern at Yang Tianming’s company,

basically only Jiang Chao and Cao Ming were left living in the dorm.

”That blockhead Old Jiang mixed up my clothes with his last time and just wore mine right out of the dorm...”

Lin Feng listened absently to Cao Ming’s ranting

while his gaze landed on Tian Xiaowu.

’If I remember correctly,’ Lin Feng thought, ’young Tian Xiaowu has already had seven or eight drinks.’

And those seven or eight drinks weren’t low-alcohol fruit cocktails either.

Many of them were based on hard liquors like vodka.

”Looks like you can really hold your liquor!”

Lin Feng said to Tian Xiaowu with a smile and a hint of curiosity in his eyes, then took another gulp of his own drink.

Realizing Lin Feng was talking to him, Tian Xiaowu smiled shyly.

”I grew up in the mountains drinking homemade sorghum liquor, so my tolerance is decent.”

Lin Feng looked at the seven or eight empty glasses in front of Tian Xiaowu.

He chuckled and shook his head.

”This isn’t just ’decent.’ You can drink like a fish!”

Hearing Lin Feng’s praise, Tian Xiaowu gave another bashful smile.

Du Hai had been in the workplace for so many years.

He knew his own limits when it came to drinking.

So, the moment he started feeling a buzz, he stopped drinking for the night.
