Chapter 106 They’re all messing with me behind my back

At Snowy Sky, Chen Mo leaned back in his seat, his gaze sweeping over Fang Chang, Wei Yan, and Zhao Bowen one by one.

Fang Chang and the other two stood cautiously in front of the desk. Ever since Chen Mo came in, he hadn't said a word, just staring at them like that. They felt immense pressure.

"Tell me, what exactly is going on with Tianlong Game?"

"Mr. Chen, you already know!"

When Fang Chang heard that Mr. Chen was asking about this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"We were planning to inform you after the Tianlong players had completely stabilized."

Chen Mo was startled by Fang Chang's words. If they really waited until those players stabilized to inform him, it would be too late.

Were these Goodfellas planning to give him a big surprise on the settlement day?

Good thing he found out in time, otherwise, he would have been backstabbed by these Goodfellas again.

Thinking of this, he looked at Fang Chang with ill intent.

"I remember last time, I didn't tell you to update and reform Tianlong, did I?"

Fang Chang straightened his chest when he heard Chen Mo's question.

"I asked Mr. Chen what to do next with Tianlong, and Mr. Chen left silently."

"later, I consulted Director Wei and only then understood Mr. Chen's intention. After all, Mr. Chen, you are the boss, and it's impossible for you to constantly monitor our work."

"Mr. Chen, at that time, you used the equipment drop rate to entice rich players to spend money hiring studios to farm equipment, successfully attracting a large number of players into the game, already creating a chance for Tianlong to survive."

"And Mr. Chen has already done so much, yet I still had to ask you what to do next, which is clearly my dereliction of duty."

"Thanks to Director Wei's guidance, I had a sudden realization and then gathered 90% of the company's employees to conduct a half-month update and reform of the game."

"Finally, we lived up to Mr. Chen's expectations. Currently, the game's prospects look very promising."

Chen Mo instantly understood after hearing Fang Chang's explanation.

He glanced at Wei Yan slightly.

It was this traitor causing trouble behind his back!

This Wei Yan is truly poisonous; I didn't say a word, yet he could interpret so much from it.

And that I used the equipment drop rate to entice rich players to hire studios to farm equipment, successfully attracting players.

This was clearly an accident, alright.

And that I lived up to my expectations? What I expected was for this game to lose more money, alright.

I just said it, didn't I?

How could Fang Chang alone cause such a big stir?

Oh, right.

Wasn't Fang Chang always planning money-losing games? How did this reform of Tianlong become so successful this time?

Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat. This was a crucial question! Fang Chang currently had a new project. If that game also turned out like this, it would be troublesome!

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Fang Chang and asked,

"Did you oversee this game's update by yourself?"

"Of course not. It also largely depended on Director Wei and Zhao Bowen. The adjustment of the equipment drop rate was a suggestion given by Director Wei, and it seems to be very successful."

"And the suggestions for new professions and world bosses were proposed by Zhao Bowen. Currently, the newly introduced profession, Swordsman, is very popular among players."

"I merely played a facilitating role in it."

Fang Chang said modestly.

Chen Mo nodded upon hearing this, a sigh of relief escaping his chest. So the success of Tianlong's reform was due to Wei Yan and Zhao Bowen!

He glanced indifferently at Zhao Bowen and Wei Yan.

There was no need to mention Wei Yan; he was a born traitor.

Zhao Bowen, on the other hand, was a bit unexpected. He didn't think he was so capable. How could he feel at ease keeping such a capable person in the company?

It seems he needs to pay attention. He absolutely cannot let Zhao Bowen get involved with Fang Chang's new project. Otherwise, if a game that was supposed to lose money ends up making money under his involvement, that wouldn't be good.

While Chen Mo was deep in thought, Wei Yan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"Mr. Chen, actually Fang Chang has also done a lot, and Tianlong's success is not just the result of a few of us, but the collective effort of all company employees."

"For the past half-month, everyone has been working overtime at home to revive Tianlong Game as soon as possible, and they haven't rested on Saturdays or Sundays either."

Chen Mo's mouth twitched uncontrollably when he heard Wei Yan's words.

Goodfellas!

The whole company was plotting against him behind his back!

He just said it, didn't he? How could Tianlong update so much in half a month? So they were all secretly working overtime for him!

Then he looked at Fang Chang with a somewhat serious expression.

"I clearly stated that employees cannot work overtime, didn't I?"

"Mr. Chen, I didn't ask them to work overtime. They voluntarily worked overtime."

Fang Chang quickly explained upon hearing this.

"But you knew they were working overtime and didn't stop them, which is wrong. I don't want this to happen a second time."

"I understand, Mr. Chen."

Chen Mo nodded, seeing the situation. There was nothing he could do since it had already happened; he could only hope it wouldn't happen a second time.

However, he could try to mitigate the losses.

He looked at Fang Chang and said,

"Go and tally their overtime hours later, pay double overtime pay for all of it, and then notify the finance department to send it out with the salaries at the beginning of next month."

"But I want to warn you, this overtime pay is not to encourage you to work overtime, but what they deserve. Overtime should have overtime pay."

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

Fang Chang nodded quickly upon hearing this, thinking to himself that Mr. Chen indeed had a harsh tongue but a kind heart.

Then he remembered there was one more thing he hadn't informed him about.

"Oh, right, Mr. Chen, there's also good news. The game's player traffic has surged in the past two days, and the game's revenue has started to soar."

"During this period, the game's total revenue has already reached over 200,000."

"How much?"

Chen Mo felt a bad premonition when he heard the good news.

"It's two hundred thousand, Mr. Chen."

Fang Chang looked at Chen Mo with a slight smile.

After confirming that he hadn't misheard, Chen Mo slumped back in his seat, somewhat dejected.

If he had known Tianlong would be profitable, he would have agreed to Fang Chang shutting down the game back then. He wondered if it was still not too late to shut it down now.

"The game is already in a profitable state and no longer meets the conditions for shutdown and delisting. To shut down the game, it needs to have been in a loss-making state for three months or more."

Chen Mo was speechless as he listened to the system's prompt.

Well,

Since the game couldn't be shut down, he could only continue to spend money.

Fortunately, the profit wasn't very much.

There was still some time until the settlement, so he still had ways to spend this money.

He had a trump card: expanding the Clothing Factory.

Although renting a large factory for two hundred thousand was a bit unrealistic, putting down a deposit first wouldn't be too much, would it?

In short, there were still ways to spend it.

Moreover, he also thought of a problem: the money Tianlong was currently earning was still in the game's account and hadn't been transferred to his company account yet.

If he kept the money in the game account and didn't transfer it to the company account until settlement.

Would his system funds just stay at 8,000, and then the settlement would be successful?
