I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2322 - 1475: Journey to the Western Heaven for Sacred Scriptures

"President Niu, don’t you think your office is missing a painting?"

The Chairman’s Office of Speed’s Board of Directors.

Niu Jili, who had climbed from a rural boy to a business leader, looked around in bewilderment, his eyes filled with uncertainty, before turning back to the enigmatic "Angel Investor" before him.

"...I don’t quite grasp Mr. Jiang’s meaning."

Jiang Chen offered a smile. "The photograph of you sharing drinks with the delivery staff has been making quite a splash online recently."

A realization dawned on Niu Jili, followed by a somewhat sheepish grin.

"I believe that particular photograph is a strong contender for this year’s Best Photography Award," Jiang Chen added with continued commendation.

Sincere praise, indeed.

A billionaire magnate and a humble deliveryman sharing a table, raising glasses in a toast; such a scene is a rarity in society, even if merely for appearances.

Furthermore, Speed’s founder, who genuinely emerged from humble beginnings, distinguishes himself from other tycoons by retaining a down-to-earth demeanor. Anyone viewing that photograph can readily perceive it. In the image, Niu Jili, clad in a delivery uniform, proudly lifts a beer glass. His gaze is resolute and vibrant, and despite his greying hair and the passage of over fifty years, he radiates a potent vitality and unfeigned sincerity, entirely devoid of any pretense.

Never forget the original intention.

These four simple words are far easier said than accomplished.

How many individuals, having attained a lofty position, can genuinely recall their humble origins?

Guiding others toward prosperity was a frequently espoused principle during Niu Jili’s era, but what was the actual practice?

Let alone offering guidance, those who achieved success first often actively hindered the progress of those who followed.

Yet, exceptions always exist.

Back in his day, Niu Jili was so destitute that upon receiving his college admission letter, he still had to rely on the collective support of his fellow villagers to gather the tuition fees due to his family’s impoverished circumstances.

Oh, and yes.

A basket of eggs was also included.

Naturally.

At this present moment, Niu Jili was no longer that impoverished village youth; the two individuals were incomparable. However, when contrasted with others in his professional sphere, he undeniably possessed a greater capacity to empathize with ordinary people.

Jiang Chen’s timely assistance during Niu Jili’s period of hardship was not without its underlying reasons.

"Mr. Jiang, you jest. It was merely an impulse. Speed’s market share finally surpassed the 40% mark, so I decided to share a drink with our delivery associates. It might not always be possible to sit and share a drink with them like this."

As he articulated these words, Niu Jili habitually pressed his lips together, his brows furrowed, his expression conveying a mixture of pride and a touch of melancholy.

Liu Bei is frequently labeled a hypocrite, but if one can maintain the façade of hypocrisy throughout an entire lifetime, does it truly remain hypocrisy?

At his level of prominence, engaging in such an act once is understandable. However, if performed too frequently, he would undoubtedly face accusations of grandstanding.

It mirrors the situation of philanthropists who, despite their charitable contributions, still endure criticism.

But can those who offer criticism truly back their words with action?

Setting aside substantial sums, they likely wouldn't even part with the cost of a pack of cigarettes.

The solitude of the apex is a feeling Jiang Chen could deeply comprehend. "Although you may not be able to frequently share drinks with them, President Niu, they should grasp your intentions. Among the multitude of entrepreneurs nationwide, it is a commendable feat if employees do not speak ill of their employers behind their backs. How many, like yourself, President Niu, are genuinely referred to as 'Brother Niu' from the heart?"

Niu Jili couldn't suppress a proud smile, his eyes alight with joy, appearing far more radiant than Speed's market share milestone.

This business magnate, who once overlooked his wife’s exquisite beauty and weathered numerous adversities, undeniably possessed a unique and captivating charisma.

"In truth, they should be thanking you more, Mr. Jiang. Without your unwavering backing, I would not have been able to champion their rightful entitlements. During that celebratory gathering, one of our brothers, who had dedicated over a decade to Speed, came with his wife to offer a toast. They met while working at Speed, found love at Speed, married under the Speed banner, and raised their children within the Speed family. Mr. Jiang, do you know what touched me the most?"

"As they toasted me, they expressed their wish for their children to join Speed in the future!"

Was it indeed touching?

Observing the glimmer in his eyes, it ought to be described as pure pride, more accurately!

For an entrepreneur, what constitutes the ultimate accomplishment?

It hardly resides in the profits amassed.

Nor in the taxes rendered.

Or in securing a beautiful spouse.

But rather, in earning the genuine affection of one’s employees.

When employees aspire for their offspring to join the company in the future, it represents the pinnacle of recognition and commendation for any entrepreneur.

"That simply won’t do. Speed is a private enterprise; we cannot emulate state-owned practices and institute a hereditary system."

Jiang Chen remarked with a lighthearted tone.

Niu Jili immediately burst into laughter, a wide grin on his face. "I told them precisely the same thing. I urged them to have their children focus on their studies and chase their aspirations. They shouldn't be burdened with hardships like we were. Honestly, delivering food isn't exactly a prestigious occupation."

This business leader, rising from humble beginnings, truly displayed his grounded personality.

How could other business magnates utter such sentiments?

They would undoubtedly espouse the virtues of labor, proclaiming it the most honorable pursuit.

Yet, far from sharing drinks with delivery personnel, they might even deem sharing the same vicinity as unsanitary.

Those who constantly spew pleasantries are often the very ones demanding the most caution.

"While delivering food may not be inherently honorable, doing so for Speed is certainly quite respectable," Jiang Chen interjected with a playful tone.

As a revolutionary force that shook the industry before Speed's advent into the food delivery sector, truth be told, the act of delivering food was not perceived as a legitimate profession by the public, even considered less secure than sanitation work.

However, Speed dramatically altered the destinies of countless delivery riders.

It was Speed that pioneered and instituted social insurance and housing funds. Even though the entire industry eventually adopted these practices reluctantly, Speed, as the initial advocate, firmly embedded a new societal perception.
