Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled-Chapter 842 - 643: Meritorious Service_2

Many internal employees have purchased cars manufactured by Tengfei New Energy. This isn’t mandatory, but rather reflects the trust they have in their own group.

Employees purchasing internally can also enjoy extremely favorable prices.

They can save around fifty thousand yuan. It’s not a direct price reduction but instead a subsidy from the group headquarters.

Outside of this, shopping on the commercial street can also be done at internal cost prices.

Tengying Group already has its own independent department store group. Creating this commercial street was also to satisfy the daily needs of employees.

You could say that the daily needs for food, clothing, housing, and transportation are entirely met within this setup.

"Boss, look. These college students are still just like I was back then, their faces brimming with hope."

"When you applied back then, you must have prepared quite a bit, didn’t you?"

"Of course! I had been preparing since my freshman year. Unfortunately, many of those who were with me still couldn’t get in."

Chen Pingsheng nodded. "Actually, I’ve always wanted to benchmark against the very best international companies. I’ve always believed that if a company generates profit by exploiting its employees, it is destined to have no future. Comparatively, the treatment in private enterprises domestically is still far inferior to that of state-owned enterprises, especially industries like tobacco."

"That’s not a fair comparison, is it?"

Tang Jing curled his lips and said, "Those industries are monopolistic. They claim fair entry, but in reality, ordinary people trying to get in is harder than climbing to the heavens."

Chen Pingsheng looked at the hopeful eyes of those college students, lost in thought.

...

"Senior, look, this place is huge!"

"Of course, it is! This is one of the top private enterprises in the country."

"Senior, do you think we can really work in a place like this after graduation?"

Amid the crowd, two girls chatted enthusiastically.

There were quite a few familiar folks around explaining things to them. Even Chen Pingsheng, accompanied by Tang Jing, stepped into the crowd.

He even asked Tang Jing, "Do you think my An’an, once grown up, will need to go through the same kind of application process?"

"Boss, An’an is your eldest daughter! Who doesn’t know she’s Princess An’an of Tengying Group? Who would make her go through an application process?"

"You’ve got it wrong," Chen Pingsheng replied. "I’m really thinking that once she’s in college, she should work at other companies for a few years to familiarize herself with the normal operations of enterprises!"

"Is that so?"

Tang Jing tilted his head, imagining Princess An’an working in another company and reacting to situations where the leadership displeases her.

Would she slam the table to straighten out the workplace?

Honestly, Princess An’an absolutely has the qualifications for something like that. Just the thought of it makes it oddly appealing.

But honestly, with so many companies under her family’s name, there doesn’t seem to be any need for her to work elsewhere.

The two of them, looking like ordinary visitors, wandered among the crowd. If anyone recognized them, Tang Jing subtly signaled for them not to make a fuss. The boss clearly wasn’t into grandiosity.

Walking quietly among the crowd felt just fine.

The group headquarters was undoubtedly beautiful, adjacent to both mountains and a lake, with a massive natural lake the group owned.

There were even employees who enjoyed fishing here after work. As for why there are fish in the lake, you’d have to ask the boss.

He once invested millions to stock the lake with fish—fishing is a kind of joy, after all.

After wandering around for a while, the two headed to the café for a couple of drinks.

Employees here are served for free as long as they have their employee ID cards.

The visiting college students this time also enjoyed the privilege of free coffee.

"Senior, the benefits here are amazing. If I could secure a job in a place like this, I would have no regrets for life."

"Isn’t there someone from our school who said they have an inside connection to get in?"

"Oh... Do people in your school really have connections? How does it work? Can you share it?"

Tang Jing was startled. How could something like this reach the boss’s ears?

Besides, she oversaw the applications herself. There shouldn’t be any backdoor dealings!

Even she got curious.

The two girls didn’t seem keen on responding to the suddenly approaching Chen Pingsheng. After all, these matters weren’t ones to be openly discussed.

"We were just joking. The person told us not to share this with others."

"Is that so?"

Chen Pingsheng motioned for Tang Jing to hand over his business card to the girls. They took it and, after one glance, were startled.

Tang Jing quickly reminded them, "Ladies, this is our Chairman, Mr. Chen Pingsheng. He just happened to overhear your conversation. If possible, we’d appreciate you sharing more details!"

The two girls were both relieved and nervous. "It’s true someone from our school has connections to get in. He often uses such methods to chase pretty girls in school. I’ve heard his older brother works at Tengying Group and is even a senior figure in the Human Resources Department."

"Is that so?"

Chen Pingsheng wasn’t shocked. Truthfully, once a group reaches a certain size, no matter how strict the rules are, it’s impossible to completely eliminate connections.

His group had it relatively well. The situation within state-owned enterprises was far more terrifying.

"Could you leave your phone numbers with me? I’ll look into it. If confirmed, I’ll ask the finance department to send you some money—it would be a reward for reporting misconduct."

Chen Pingsheng instructed Tang Jing to investigate the matter. He despised these kinds of situations.

Tang Jing seriously noted it down, and as soon as the boss left, she followed suit.

It took less than half an hour to uncover the truth.

Someone at their school indeed had connections, and his brother truly was the Vice President of the Human Resources Department within the group.

His brother was typically strict and displayed impeccable behavior.

Regarding instances of backdoor dealings, two specific cases had occurred.

Thanks to these cases, the younger brother bragged about them on campus.

In the span of a year, he managed to date seven or eight girlfriends.

Tang Jing remarked, "Boss, that Vice President really tried to tightly control his younger brother. But this kind of behavior seems beyond his ability to manage."

Chen Pingsheng briefly reviewed the findings and replied, "Handle it according to group standards. Also, circulate a notice within the group to remind everyone—never attempt to misuse group resources for personal bragging rights or benefits."

Tang Jing couldn’t help but sigh. It was truly unfortunate. The elder brother had been sabotaged by his own sibling.

After working so hard to achieve the position of Vice President of Human Resources, it hadn’t been easy.

However, the group absolutely wouldn’t turn a blind eye to situations like this.

Whenever discovered, dismissal was guaranteed.

The boss had even shared an example involving his own relative: a pregnant cousin.

She had offended a powerful individual while running a street stall.

The woman, barely thirty years old, kicked her in the stomach, causing her to lose the baby, and even jailed her husband for half a year.

The aggressor’s husband was only the wife of a city enforcement team leader.

At that time, Chen Pingsheng had yet to rise to wealth and was still in the Capital.

This was a classic example of abuse of power, whose impacts on average citizens and the powerless were unimaginably devastating.

Similar issues within a corporate group were equally damaging.

The Vice President of Human Resources wielded significant hiring power, and if misused for personal gain...

It could lead to situations like the wealthy villager in Pingsheng’s hometown:

The man’s son had barely graduated from university, yet to secure an internship at a bank, he needed fifty thousand yuan as a bribe.

Another instance involved a nursing graduate whose parents spent forty thousand yuan to get her into the city’s largest hospital.

Forty thousand yuan—how many years would ordinary families need to save without spending a dime?

Such situations are rampant across society, unfolding next to everyone’s lives.

They’ve even pervaded the realm of sports: even athletes representing the nation in football have bought their way in.

Which then leads to global humiliation during the World Cup.

Abusing the power of selection has consequences far more severe than imagined.

Even if it only tangentially involves his relatives, Chen Pingsheng wouldn’t hesitate to obliterate such behavior.

He absolutely despised individuals misusing his group’s resources for self-interest.

And he had deeper disdain for those undermining fairness.

As for the two college girls who provided the tip, Chen Pingsheng instructed Tang Jing to reward each of them fifty thousand yuan.

It was, in a way, his peculiar sense of humor.

These girls clearly lacked financial support; fifty thousand yuan was already substantial for them.

He also wanted to make the group’s misconduct reporting accessible not only internally but externally as well, ensuring impartial and public monitoring.

This, he believed, was the best way to minimize such incidents.
