The daughter-in-law of a wealthy family does not lie flat

An engineer asked, "It seems that people in your company love sports."

“How come you see?”

"I saw a lot of bicycles and balance bikes on the side of the stairs on each floor."

"Oh, you mean that one? That's for public use. The park is so big that it's very troublesome and time-consuming to walk back and forth. In addition to the shuttle bus, we also have bicycles, electric bikes, and balance bikes. You can choose any of them. You can put them on any floor after use. The big data system will arrange workers to collect them and put them back on the floors with more people."

"That's a bit like our shared bikes. You have so many facilities that are not related to work. Aren't you afraid that your employees will slack off?"

The receptionist didn't understand what "moyu" meant, so Lu Qing explained it to her.

"There is indeed data showing that employees spend 20% of their time doing things that are not related to work, but as a measure to stimulate creativity, it is very effective. Many laboratory projects have achieved breakthroughs in such an environment."

A male voice sounded behind me, "Because people are people, not machines. Simply making people stay in an uncomfortable environment to do repetitive work without giving them the freedom to innovate is a disregard for human nature."

Everyone looked back and saw that the person who spoke was Mr. Weisker, the founder of Sky.

Weisker had short hair, and wore a white shirt, jeans, and half-rolled sleeves. He had the typical American build, and looked like a programmer. He didn't look like one of the top three richest people in the world.

Lu Qing extended her hand and introduced herself. "Hello, Mr. Weisker. I am Lin Luqing, CEO of Qingguo Qingcheng. We have talked in emails. I am honored to have the opportunity to participate in the planning of the future town. Thank you for arranging for us to visit your company's headquarters. We all gained a lot."

Weisker stepped forward and shook Lu Qing's hand. "Ms. Lin, I have heard of your name for a long time. I have read your proposal, it is very good, but I want to remind you that there are several other companies shortlisted for commercial negotiations."

Lu Qing was very calm, "I understand. May the best man win."

Weisker didn't expect Lu Qing to quote such authentic American English, and the distance between them suddenly shortened. "Yes, that's what I always think. May the best person win!"

Weisker was about to have some afternoon tea and invited everyone to sit in the restaurant. "The vegetables and fruits used in the restaurant, except for those that cannot be grown locally, are all from our own farm. They are very healthy and you can eat them with confidence!"

The receptionist continued to introduce as they walked, "Employees can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner for free in various restaurants. We have food from almost all over the world, including Chinese, American, French, Italian, Indian, and some African and Southeast Asian food. The restaurant we are going to now is called the Chief Restaurant because the chef here is Sky's first chief chef. The restaurant pays great attention to providing fresh, organic and healthy food."

After arriving at the restaurant, the first thing everyone noticed was that although it was not meal time, there were a lot of people eating. Moreover, when Weisker walked in, no one paid attention. Everyone just went about their own business and ate their own food.

Weisker recommended some of his favorites to everyone. Lu Qing and his friends saw salads served in Buddhist bowls, toasts covered with avocado and sprinkled with chili powder, and dumplings stuffed with cream pudding. It was really eye-opening. It felt like a strange way to bring together food cultures from all over the world. It can be imagined that when designing the menu, the chefs must have taken into account various dietary needs and cultural backgrounds. Whether it tastes good is not the most important thing.

Weisker said, "We are hiring people, not robots. Of course they will get hungry. If they eat a lot, they will get hungry after three meals. Therefore, most of these restaurants are open all day, and there is a snack room on each floor, which is full of fruits, cereals, candies, chocolates, and hot and cold drinks."

Lu Qing smiled and said, "It's rare not to gain weight in this situation."

Weisker also laughed. "We have a rule in our company. It's called the Newcomer 15. It says that new employees can't resist the temptation of these foods and gain 15 pounds on average. And it takes 15 weeks of exercise to lose these 15 pounds."

Ding Yingzhen quickly calculated in her mind the annual cost of such free catering, which would probably be at least 5000 million US dollars, which would be hundreds of millions in RMB.

Sky is probably the company that spends the most money on its employees worldwide.

Weiske personally brought Lu Qing a glass of kiwi juice, and Lu Qing was confused.

This is too much of a coincidence. When Lu Qing drinks juice outside, she usually orders kiwi juice. Not many people know this. Why did Weiske only take a glass of kiwi juice among so many drinks?

Weisker and Lu Qing sat at a separate table. "Are you confident about tomorrow's negotiations?"

Lu Qing couldn't help but laugh, "The decision is not mine, it's your company's. But I can say that we came here with the utmost sincerity."

"Ms. Lin, Chinese women have a special kind of beauty. It's not just gentleness, but also something that is hard to see. It's very mysterious. You give me this feeling."

Lu Qing thought it was a compliment, but she still said, "Thank you. In the eyes of Chinese people, foreigners, including American women, are also mysterious. I'm afraid the mystery comes from not understanding, and the charm comes from the distance."

Weisker finished his salad and drank a glass of milk. His assistant came to invite him to a meeting. He stood up and said goodbye to Lu Qing. "Although this is our first meeting, I am already very familiar with Miss Lin. See you tomorrow!"

After Weisker left, Ding Yingzhen came over and sat down, "Okay, Mr. Lin, you are so famous, even the super-rich know you!"

Lu Qing was just as confused as Ding Yingzhen. "Don't flatter me. I'll make a fool of myself. I'm not famous in my own country, let alone in the United States. People are just being polite."

"I don't think so. Americans are not the kind of people who pretend to be polite."

The receptionist also came over and sat down. "Although Mr. Weisker is known for being approachable, he rarely entertains customers in person. Miss Lin, you have a lot of face!"

Lu Qing saw that the receptionist also had an Asian face and asked, "I haven't asked you yet, what is your name?"

The receptionist switched to Chinese for the first time and said, "My name is U, and my Chinese name is Wu Wei."

Lu Qing knew from her accent that she was an ABC, so she asked her where her ancestral home was and which generation she was from.

Wu Wei said, "You are amazing. I think my Mandarin is OK, and I am not mixed-race. How do you know that I was born in the United States of Chinese descent and not an international student?"

Lu Qing laughed, "Because you didn't know what slacking off means just now!"
