Chapter 759 Generosity
The next day, it was the annual party of Tanner Group. Since it was the first time the company was hosting an annual party, Victor regarded it with great importance.
Tanner Group performed outstandingly that year. Anyone in Jipsdale would give a thumbs-up whenever they heard about Tanner Group.
The annual party was being held in the ballroom at the Tanner Group office. The ballroom was large enough to accommodate more than two thousand guests.
In order to spice things up, Victor invited a number of celebrities! Hence, the crowd got excited when the celebrities arrived at the event.
Even The Wheelers were there.
The party reached its peak when the band arrived. It was normal for major companies to invite celebrities to their annual parties.
As long as one had money, one would be able to invite anybody to their function. As for the Wheelers, they were the hottest rock band in the whole of Aploth!
As such, nobody expected The Wheelers to attend the party at Tanner Group.
The band even performed three songs, and they were all the greatest hits of that year.
The atmosphere of the party was great, and all the employees of Tanner Group joined in with the singing.
Soon, Victor arrived with Sophie. The moment Sophie arrived, everyone got up on their feet.
They could not believe that under the leadership of a lady in her twenties, they were able to have year-end bonuses that were higher than their annual salaries.
A leader like Sophie indeed deserved their admiration and respect.
By the time Sophie and Victor arrived, The Wheelers had finished their performance.
“Thank you! Thank you for your love and support for The Wheelers! Let's move forward together toward a better future. I believe that both Tanner Group and The Wheelers will do even better because we have the same supporter! And that's Sophie!”
With Sophie around, all of them would definitely become better.
The moment Mark finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out.
Victor, who had been listening, couldn't help but nod. What Mark said was true. As long as Sophie was around, their future could only get better.
He began to applause too.
Victor then walked up to the stage and gave an emotional speech. He was not usually a sentimental person.
However, when he recalled the things that had happened to Tanner Group in the past year, he could not help but become emotional.
At last, it was Sophie's turn to go up on stage. She was all smiles as she stood in front of the microphone stand.
“I want to thank all of you for your support for Tanner Group for the past year. Despite whatever has happened, none of you gave up on the company. Because of that, we will continue to work hard and bring Tanner Group to greater heights in the future. When the company does well, so will everyone! I'm sure everyone is very satisfied with your year-end bonuses. In truth, it's nothing compared to the year-end bonuses at Lombard Group. Therefore, we should work harder to catch up with them and, eventually, surpass them!”
With that, the crowd applauded like crazy. Just then, The Wheelers came onto the stage.
“Sophie, it has been a long time since we last performed together. Why don't we perform a song together today since everyone is in such a fantastic mood?”
Sophie agreed, and Mark handed her the microphone.
“This song, 'Crazy' is for all of you. I hope you like it!”
The crowd went wild.
Oh my goodness!
No one expected Sophie to be so capable! She seemed to be good in everything.
The moment Sophie sang, everyone was impressed by her regardless of their gender. Soon, all of them forgot about Sophie's rumors.
Right now, Sophie was invincible to them.
It had been a long time since she last performed with The Wheelers. Even though she was only performing one song with them this time around, she was very happy about it.
Toward the end of the song, she began to dance with the five members of The Wheelers.
Some of them in the crowd had been to The Wheelers' concert. In fact, they had been to both of their concerts.
“Oh my goodness! Why do I feel as though Ms. Sophie is actually Tanner?”
“Now that you have mentioned it, I think so too. Her presence is formidable!”
The annual party became so lively because of Sophie. At the end of the party, there was a lucky draw.
The employee who won the first prize won a house that was over a hundred square meters. There were some people who could never afford a house in a big city like Jipsdale.
Therefore, the employee who won the house cried as he walked up the stage. When the host handed him the microphone, he began to babble incoherently.
“I'm sorry... I got too excited... I thought I would never own my own house in this lifetime. As we all know, the properties in Jipsdale are very expensive. As for me, I don't come from a wealthy family. My parents are farmers. When I first came to this city, I thought I could find my footing and have my own house here. I don't need a big house. Something moderate will be more than enough. Yet, I have been unable to fulfill this small dream of mine. Today, Tanner Group has fulfilled my dream for me. Because of Tanner Group, I now have a house of my own.”
Everyone else was so envious of that employee and his good luck.
What he said was true.
All of them worked so hard so that they could find their footing in that city.
Yet, once they managed to gather enough money for the down payment, they would have to work harder and be more cautious at work. Otherwise, they might lose their jobs. When that happened, they would not be able to pay the housing mortgage or even live a decent life.
That young man was very fortunate to get what everyone else could only wish for.
“Ms. Sophie, the first prize must have cost a lot!”
Victor was still feeling the heartache, but Sophie smiled.
“That's true. But look at him. He looks so happy! This way, the rest of the employees will work harder next year!”
As long as Tanner Group had money, the benefits of the employees would not be overlooked. Sophie was not a stingy person. She was willing to invest in anyone who was valuable.
“If you put it that way, I think it's okay, then!” Victor was equally pleased because he had earned quite a bit that year too. “Ms. Sophie, I have earned so much money because of you. Why don't I give you a treat? I wonder—”
“Sure. We can do it on another day. Today, I want to spend time with all my employees.” Now was not the time to leave.
“Okay!”
For dinner that night, Victor had arranged for them to go to a famous restaurant in Jipsdale. He booked the entire restaurant even though it cost a lot.
After working with Sophie for two years, he had also become very generous. He knew that the young people loved that restaurant, and that was why he reserved the entire place.
