Back at the CEO office in Yel Corporation, Anya finished the work she was doing and called in her secretary, who was named Sarah Brown.
"Notify the finance department and tell them to give the manager of the business department, Charles Wright, a raise of three thousand dors in base sry. He will also get a bonus of an extra 20 thousand dors this month!"
Sarah looked very surprised. She couldn''t help asking, "Ms. Wayne, why are you giving Mr. Wright a raise and an extra bonus?"
Anya twirled the fountain pen in her fingers and thought for a moment before she replied, "He''s a family man who treats his wife well and is good to his subordinates."
Sarah''s eyes widened in shock.
Charles'' good treatment of his subordinates could be a reason, but what did him being a family man and treating his wife well have anything to do with thepany?
Sarah was very curious, but she did not dare to ask too much.

Meanwhile, Zachary had reached the office.
However, it was already 10:30 am by the time he arrived, and he was half an hourte.
Zachary was prepared to get his sry cut, but when Charles saw him, he only smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "Zachary, you''ve only been here for a while, so I''ll let it go this time. Be more careful in future!"
Charles was glowing and looked as if he was in an excellent mood.
He cleared his throat and said loudly to the rest of the staff in the department, "Let''s finish all the work on hand early. After work, I''ll treat everyone to a meal so that our department can get together and wee our new colleague, Zachary." The staff members of the business department immediately cheered for joy.
One of the female colleagues said teasingly, "Did you get rich, boss?"
"Thanks to all of you, I got a raise of three thousand dors in my base sry, and Ms. Wayne has even given me 20 thousand dors extra as a bonus for this month!" Charles was very forthright and admitted it generously.
"Damn! Did you save Ms. Wayne''s life? You got three thousand dors all of a sudden and even got a 20-thousand-dor bonus?"
All of the staff members looked curious.
"Don''t be silly!" Charles chuckled and pretended to re at the staff member who had teased him. He scratched his head and said, "I''m also a little confused, but the finance department says that I''m a family man who treats my wife and subordinates well, so she gave me a raise and a bonus."
"Boss, who would believe a reason like that? You must have done something behind our backs!" The staff member who had teased him clearly did not believe
it.
He wasn''t the only one. Apart from Zachary, no one in the department believed it.
"If you don''t believe me, just forget it and get back to work! I won''t wait around after work," Charles saidughingly before

Work was tedious, but time passed by fairly quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work.
Charles took the lead and brought them all to a neighboring restaurant to eat.
There were 21 people in the business department, including Charles himself, so he asked for arge private room.
After a long and busy day, everyone began eating and talking as soon as the food was served.
As the center of attention of the gathering, Charles and Zachary were plied withrge amounts of alcohol.
Charles had a fairly good alcohol tolerance and epted them all.
Zachary wanted to refuse, but he could not reject his colleagues'' enthusiasm, so
he ended up drinking quite a bit.
Just as he was beginning to feel dizzy, his phone suddenly rang.
He pulled out his phone instinctively and answered the call.
"What are you doing, babe?" Ellen''s voice came through the phone.
She sounded soft and gentle, as if she was whining yfully.
Zachary looked rather tipsy, and he he

"Yes. My colleagues are all very enthusiastic!"
"Where are you eating? I''lle and pick you upter!"
"It''s alright. I live near the office, so I can go back on my own!"
"You''ve been drinking so much. What if you find yourself in danger on the way back? Be good and tell me where you are. I''lle right over." .
