Chapter 758
“Ms. Sophie, you’re the best. Some girls in the office have been talking about Ms. Lombard’s concert in the last couple of days!”
The ladies were fans of Ysabelle’s songs. Though they were thrilled when they learned she would be holding a concert, all the tickets were sold out before they could purchase one.
Sophie hummed in response. “That’s why I came to check on you. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head to Tanner Group now. And don’t forget, if you need help, reach out to Mr. White. He’ll know what to do.”
Although Sophie’s busy schedule sometimes made it difficult for her to be available when needed, she remained committed to supporting and protecting Wilma and the rest.
“Got it, Ms. Sophie. Transfix Cosmetics is thriving, so you need not worry. Everything will be fine,” assured Wilma with confidence.
She would work harder than before now that she was a shareholder of Transfix Cosmetics.
After sending Sophie out, Wilma started distributing the concert tickets. As soon as the girls noticed the tickets on their desks, their jaws dropped. “Oh, my goodness! Are these VIP seats for real? Am I not dreaming? Pinch me, Ms. Lineker! Pinch me!”
That employee had stayed up all night in front of her computer, hoping to purchase a ticket during the sale, but unfortunately, she was unsuccessful.
When unexpectedly given a premium seat, she could not contain her excitement.
“These tickets are from Ms. Sophie. You should know she’d always give you the best!” Wilma explained. Ms. Sophie is the most generous person ever!
Thanks to her generous nature, her employees were motivated to go the extra mile and work diligently.
“Got it, Ms. Lineker. Don’t worry; we’ll give our very best and work harder next year,” assured one of the girls.
Each of them understood the importance of reciprocating kindness. Since Sophie showered them with kindness, they would show their appreciation by repaying her in the best way possible. The foundation of every relationship resides in the reciprocity between individuals. When someone shows you kindness, it’s only appropriate to respond with the same level of kindness. After all, reciprocity is a fundamental part of being a decent human being, right?
As Sophie arrived at Tanner Group, Victor was already deeply engrossed in solving the issue related to employee bonuses.
The company’s business had doubled, and this success was owed to Sophie’s exceptional leadership.
She entered the building when he was just about to call her.
“Ms. Sophie, could you take a look at the bonus distribution plan? I’ll proceed with the distribution if you’re fine with the arrangement,” Victor said.
He was all smiles because he knew he had made the right decision to follow Sophie’s lead as his boss.
After glancing through the figures, Sophie bobbed her head in acknowledgment.
She could always count on Victor to handle things without her intervention. “That looks good. Let’s distribute the bonuses according to this plan! Tell the financial manager to expedite the process. We must give out the bonus before year-end,” she uttered. Every employee in the company had put in a great deal of effort over the past year. With the cost of living on the rise and the New Year around the corner, these bonuses will surely relieve their financial burden.
“All right. I’ll get him to work on it right away,” Victor responded.
Tanner Group’s year-end bonus used to be distributed after the New Year and was never in such a large amount.
Victor called his secretary over, gave him the budget, and asked him to deliver it to the finance department. “Remember to tell them to go to the bank today. They must release the year-end bonus to all employees before they get off work.”
After seeing the amount of his year-end bonus, the secretary’s face lit up with a beaming smile.
Ordinary folks could find happiness in the simplest of things. To them, nothing could compare to having money in their bank accounts. That was the most satisfying and secure feeling.
As the secretary left, his co-workers, who noticed how happy he looked, could not help but ask, “What’s with that smile? Did you hit the jackpot or something?”
“Yes, something good did happen, but not just to me. You guys will receive the good news soon,” he answered.
The secretary immediately went to the finance department, delivered the budget to the manager, and told him Victor’s instructions.
After doing a final check on the plan, the financial manager immediately went to the bank. All the employers in the finance department were grinning from ear to ear when they saw the bonus they would be receiving.
At the general manager’s office, Victor poured Sophie a cup of coffee. “I had someone bring this coffee back from Anglandur. I’m not sure if you’ll like it, but give it a try. If you like it, I’ll get someone to send some to you.”
Sophie shook her head in response. “It’s all right. You can keep it. I’m not a big fan of coffee.”
She had always avoided drinking coffee as she was a light sleeper.
Although her sleep quality had improved significantly since she started dating Tristan, she still had no fondness for coffee.
“All right then,” he said. “Ms. Sophie, we’ve achieved tremendous success this year, far surpassing the initial success of Whitley Group. Truly, there’s nothing we cannot achieve as long as we keep our eyes fixed on our goals.”
In addition to having clear goals, Sophie, the invincible strategist of Tanner Group, played a vital role in the company’s success. She was capable of resolving any issue, no matter how big it was.
“Yes. We did well this year, but we must work harder next year. You should know I’ve bigger dreams for this company,” Sophie uttered.
With Tanner Group now in her hands, she was determined to make it thrive. I want to put Grandpa’s mind to rest.
“Well, Ms. Sophie, I’ll follow your lead, no matter what you say or do,” Victor pledged his loyalty.
Sophie hummed in acknowledgment. “Keep up the good work! I’ve already sent the next year’s development plan to your email. Please take the time to review it, and if you have any questions, feel free to call me.”
She was never a procrastinator. If she had set her mind on achieving something, nothing could stop her from succeeding.
People with high intelligence would always be capable of learning and excelling in any area they chose if they were willing to put in the effort.
“That’s fast, Ms. Sophie.” Victor, who had yet to complete his year-end report, was surprised that she had already devised a plan for next year. That was what set a leader and a follower apart.
“Take a good look at the plan. We’ll attempt something ambitious next year.” Sophie had a clear vision for Tanner Group ever since she took the helm of the company.
“Got it!” Victor replied.
Tanner Group’s employees had started receiving their year-end bonuses in the afternoon.
Upon receiving their bonuses, many employees could not believe their eyes at the amount they had received.
Some even checked the number of zeros in their bank account several times, with one employee exclaiming, “My eyes are not playing a trick on me, right? Can you take a look at the amount in my account? Did they make a mistake? I’m not returning the money to the company, even if the management made a mistake. I don’t care! I’ve worked here for years, and this is the first time I received such a big, fat bonus!”
The person beside him, too, reacted the same way, wondering if the company messed up the figures.
Most of the employees had the same feelings. After regaining their composure, they realized the substantial bonus they received was correct. It seems like we are wealthy now!
