Chapter 138: Outstanding Employee

A moment later, Qiao Mian put down his phone.

He sighed.

At critical moments, his teammates always failed to cooperate, watching him helplessly as he marched to his doom.

"A bunch of noobs, you don't deserve to reach the Master tier!" he muttered inwardly in annoyance.

Stuffing his phone into his pocket, he glanced at the crowd, composed himself, and began, "Good afternoon, everyone."

Zhao Gang took the lead in applauding.

Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, and the others instantly followed suit. The "ancients" like Guo Jing, who were already extremely familiar with Earth culture, imitated his actions as well.

Even King Kong, the Velociraptors, and other beasts joined in the clapping.

The Ugly Condor's wings flapped so vigorously that Huang Rong in the front row was nearly exposed.

Python One writhed back and forth in its seat anxiously, constantly flicking its tongue and making a "hissing" sound.

Looking at this chaotic scene reminiscent of a gathering of demons, Qiao Mian quickly waved his hands. "Those without hands, please stop applauding from now on."

He went straight on to say, "Today is our second employee meeting. The main purpose is to summarize our work experience, analyze the problems encountered during operations, and pool our wisdom to make our park develop better and better."

Seeing Zhao Gang raise his hand again, he hurriedly said, "No need to applaud, everyone just listen."

After three minutes of empty chatter, he shifted to the main topic: "Next are a few matters closely related to everyone's interests."

Instantly, even the listless beasts perked up.

"First of all, regarding the bonus pool for everyone..." Qiao Mian gave a rough introduction before continuing, "The total amount of this month's bonus pool is 5% of the operating revenue, which is 2.3 million game coins."

2.3 million!

Hearing this figure, the eyes of many lit up.

Guo Jing counted on his fingers, scratched his head, and looked at Huang Rong.

"An average of 34,000 per person," Huang Rong said softly.

"That's so much!" Li Yunlong in the back row exclaimed.

He had previously regretted how expensive the items in the mall were, but upon hearing this news, a surge of intense hope welled up within him.

If he could get that much money and buy an Iron Man suit, wouldn't he be able to fly straight to the enemy's capital?

Guo Jing also clenched his fists secretly.

Recently, the Southern Song court had already learned about the situation in Xiangyang City.

While cowardly against external enemies, they had never been soft-handed internally and were already planning to send troops over.

The Mongols had also set their sights on him.

Even though he had absolute confidence in the three hundred soldiers he trained and their modern firearms, he inevitably felt a bit nervous.

What if he failed?

If he could get a few more game coins and buy some powerful items to take back, perhaps he wouldn't even need to exert much effort; he could win simply by lying down.

"The specific distribution method is related to the contributions of each department, which Xiaolongnü will announce in a moment," Qiao Mian continued. "The second matter is about outstanding employees."

Seeing that most people looked a bit bewildered, Qiao Mian smiled and said, "This is a special award established to encourage excellence."

"There are a total of five slots for outstanding employees, with a reward of 100,000 game coins for each person!"

The crowd instantly grew restless.

100,000 game coins!

This was by no means a small sum to them.

"Next, Xiaolongnü will make the announcement." Qiao Mian stepped aside to make room.

Xiaolongnü had already received the news from Qiao Mian beforehand.

She stood up and walked toward the front of the stage.

Today, she was wearing a formal gown she had bought just a few days ago, graceful as a proud peacock.

Upon taking the stage, she first smiled at Qiao Mian, and then went straight to the point with a deadpan expression: "First, I will announce the bonuses for each department, which the respective heads will arrange themselves."

"The department with the highest total bonus amount is the Transportation Center, with a total of 60万 game coins."

Megatron raised his fist high.

Ironhide and the other ten newly joined Transformers glowed with brilliant light in their eyes, shooting beams toward the front.

Seeing Xiaolongnü frown, they quickly retracted the beams.

"Next is the Scripture Pavilion, with a total of 400,000 game coins."

Huang Yaoshi's expression remained unchanged, but his beard trembled slightly, making it obvious that he was wildly excited inside.

"The Fitness Plaza and the Security Inspection Department both receive 300,000 game coins," Liang Xiaoyu said in a very calm tone.

Hong Qigong and the others managed to keep their composure, but Drift, Bumblebee, and Jazz excitedly stood up.

Bumblebee seized the opportunity to play a song, and Jazz began to dance.

*"Little people, making a splash, loving to be happily poor every day..."*
*"Carefree souls, pretending to be proper, laughing and giggling as we are happily poor..."*

"Quiet down, please," Xiaolongnü said helplessly. "If you want to celebrate, go ahead and celebrate on your own after the meeting."

The crowd burst into laughter.

The three Transformers immediately quieted down.

Xiaolongnü then went on to announce the bonuses for the remaining departments one by one.

Even the X-Academy, which had only been open for business for a short while, received a bonus of 80,000 game coins.

As for the few beasts, they each received 20,000.

This made everyone happy.

"Next are this month's outstanding employees," Xiaolongnü began. "As for the selection criteria, they are mainly based on departmental revenue, visitor reviews, and..."

She paused for a few seconds before continuing, "And Mr. Qiao's opinion."

No one spoke, but everyone knew the last one was the most important.

"First is Island Master Huang," Xiaolongnü said. "As the head of the Scripture Pavilion, Island Master Huang has been dutiful and responsible, contributing the most revenue to the park..."

"Second is Drift," Xiaolongnü said again. "Drift neither eats, drinks, nor sleeps, working or standing by twenty-four hours a day without a single complaint..."

Light flickered in Drift's eyes as he looked at Qiao Mian standing to the side.

*So this is how Mr. Qiao sees me?*

It was deeply moved by itself.

"Actually, it's not just Drift; the work attitude of all the other Transformers is worthy of everyone's study. Therefore, the third outstanding employee is Optimus Prime."

Before Optimus Prime could stand up to celebrate, Xiaolongnü continued, "Of course, unlike the Transformers, we cannot recharge at any time. Going without sleep for three days might lead to death from overwork, and going without food... living doesn't seem to have much meaning anyway?"

A low chuckle rippled through the crowd.

Qiao Mian, standing to the side, also found it amusing.

Xiaolongnü had actually learned how to make jokes.

She must have learned it from Liang Xiaoyu!

"However," Xiaolongnü said again, "there is someone who remained at their post even after off-duty hours, providing volunteer services to some and creating value for the park."

"Therefore, the fourth outstanding employee slot belongs to Zhao Gang."

Upon hearing Xiaolongnü's words, Zhao Gang almost jumped up.

He had never expected that he would actually have a share in it.

"Congratulations, Old Zhao!" Li Yunlong and Kong Jie by his side said with a tinge of envy.

"As for the last one," Xiaolongnü suddenly turned her head to look at Qiao Mian, who was standing to the side watching her with a gentle smile, and said with some helplessness, "Mr. Qiao insisted on giving it to me, and I certainly couldn't refuse. However, this is a one-time thing; I won't compete with everyone for this spot in the future."

The Old Urchin took the lead in applauding.

Only after the applause from the crowd died down did Xiaolongnü say, "In fact, there are many other colleagues who performed exceptionally well, such as Sadako, who earnestly studied scare techniques, and the Indominus Rex, which effectively prevented three tourists from being eaten by dinosaurs... Everyone will have a chance in the future."

"Next, I invite all the outstanding employees to come up front, and Mr. Qiao will present the awards."

Life needs a sense of ceremony.

After the award ceremony, Qiao Mian discussed the problems encountered in the park with everyone once more.

There were no major issues, only minor areas that required improvement.

The employee meeting concluded three hours later.
