Chapter 119: The System Has a Bug

Chen Mo turned his head to look at Zhang Lan and said indifferently,

"It was two bottles of red wine."

Zhang Lan had a face full of black lines upon hearing this.

Arriving at the dormitory building, he greeted the dormitory manager and took Shen Rou directly into the dorm.

After placing Shen Rou on the bed, Chen Mo stood up and looked at Zhang Lan.

"It is troublesome for you here. Tomorrow when she wakes up, tell her that if she isn't feeling well, she doesn't have to come to work. Give her a day off."

"I understand. Thank you," Zhang Lan said.

Although Shen Rou had drunk too much during the company dinner, it was very rare for a company boss to personally carry her to the dormitory.

The next morning,

Chen Mo looked at the real-time data for Tianlong Game sent by Cangxue Games and felt terrible.

Last night, he heard Fang Chang say that Tianlong had earned 300,000. He changed the beer to red wine, which spent most of it. He originally thought that by giving some rewards to the employees who participated in the Tianlong reform today, he could spend all the remaining System Funds at once.

So, this morning, he ordered Cangxue Games to send him the real-time data for Tianlong. He wanted to calculate the reward amount based on Tianlong's revenue from yesterday to today.

But to his surprise, the funds in Tianlong's account were actually as high as over 900,000.

If you count the 300,000 spent yesterday, Tianlong had earned over 1.2 million in just over a day.

This wasn't even the most critical part;

he discovered an even more unsolvable problem: Tianlong's revenue was still increasing.

Developing at this rate, even if he spent the current 900,000+, the constantly increasing revenue would be enough to make his settlement fail.

So the current situation was that no matter how he spent money, it would be impossible to settle successfully and obtain that 8 million in System Funds.

Thinking of this,

Chen Mo turned his consciousness toward the system panel in his mind.

"System, your system has a bug. According to your current settlement rules and my company's current revenue, it is impossible for me to settle successfully and obtain the full system reward."

"I need an explanation!"

[The system is detecting the host's current revenue, please wait!]

[Detection complete. If the host's current enterprise revenue is calculated according to the current conversion rules, it is indeed impossible to fully convert the system assets. To reflect the fairness and justice of the system, the system is updating.]

[System update complete. Please check the current system settlement rules, host.]

Settlement 1: If the remaining System Funds are less than 1% of the total System Funds, the full amount of System Funds will be converted.

Settlement 2: If the remaining System Funds are less than 50% of the total System Funds, 1% of the consumed System Funds can be converted.

Settlement 3: If the remaining System Funds are more than half of the total System Funds, 0.1% of the consumed System Funds can be converted.

(Example: 8 million in System Funds.

Settlement 1: If the remaining System Funds are below 80,000, full conversion.

Settlement 2: If the remaining System Funds are below 4 million, e.g., if 2 million remains, then 1% of [800-200 = 600] million will be converted, which is 60,000 yuan.

Settlement 3: If the remaining System Funds are above 4 million, e.g., if 6 million remains, then 0.1% of [800-600 = 200] million will be converted, which is 2,000 yuan.)

Chen Mo looked at the latest conversion rules and discovered that this time, if he wanted to fully convert the System Funds, he only needed to spend the System Funds down to below 80,000.

It was indeed easier than the previous 8,000.

Seeing such conversion rules, Chen Mo instantly regained his motivation.

Thinking of this,

Chen Mo quickly called Fang Chang to ask how many people participated in the Tianlong reform and what their positions were.

"General Manager Chen, why are you asking about the personnel who participated in the Tianlong reform?"

Fang Chang asked with some confusion.

"The Tianlong reform was very successful, and everyone's efforts played an indispensable role. I am preparing to issue project bonuses."

Chen Mo said quickly. He wanted to count the number of people as soon as possible and then issue the project bonuses.

However, when he thought about this project bonus, the system gave a reminder.

Project bonuses can be issued, but the bonuses cannot exceed 30% of the current project's profit, and the bonuses for employees at various positions must be reasonably distributed.

As for not being able to exceed 30% of the project's current profit, Tianlong's profit during this period was already nearly 3 million, which meant he could issue 900,000 in project bonuses.

Chen Mo checked that the current System Funds were a little over 940,000. If he spent 900,000 on project bonuses, there would still be over 40,000 in System Funds left.

Over 40,000 was enough for him to fully convert the System Funds.

But there were still 3 hours until the 12 o'clock settlement. During these three hours, Tianlong Game's profit was still growing.

If Tianlong's revenue exceeded 40,000 during these three hours, his settlement would be considered a failure.

However, Chen Mo had no good way to deal with this. After all, he still had to calculate everyone's bonus distribution and then notify the finance department to pay the employees as soon as possible.

This was already enough to keep him busy; he had no extra time to think about anything else.

Soon, he received the list of personnel who participated in the Tianlong reform sent by Fang Chang.

There were 43 people in total, including Wei Yan, Fang Chang, and Zhao Bowen, who were at the supervisor level or above, and then there were four team leaders and 36 team members.

Chen Mo made a simple distribution: he would issue 100,000 in project bonuses to the three people at the supervisor level or above, and 50,000 to the four team leaders.

In this way, 500,000 would be gone, and the remaining 400,000 would need to be split equally among the 36 team members.

Chen Mo used a calculator to calculate it and found that 40 divided by 36 couldn't be divided evenly; the calculator showed 1111.11…

However, he couldn't be bothered to think of a better distribution method. Since it couldn't be divided evenly, he would just pay a little less.

1111.11 yuan wasn't bad.

Thinking of this,

Chen Mo picked up the phone and called the finance department directly. To save time, he didn't ask Shen Rou to handle it.

This was a race against time. If the finance department transferred the money too slowly and it wasn't transferred before the system settlement, all his hard work would be for nothing.

When the call connected,

he quickly told the finance department all his requirements and notified them to make sure the project bonuses were deposited into the employees' accounts before 12 o'clock.

After finishing a series of tasks, Chen Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief and slumped directly into his chair.

This short period of time had drained too much of his energy. For the first time, he felt that spending money was actually quite exhausting.

Not long after,

Chen Mo felt that the atmosphere in the office was a bit off. He turned his head and saw Shen Rou looking at him with a resentful expression.

"General Manager Chen, I'm really fine. Yesterday, the aftereffects of the red wine were just a bit strong; I was fine when I woke up this morning. So, there's no problem with letting me handle tasks like notifying the finance department."

Shen Rou looked at General Manager Chen and said in a low voice. General Manager Chen was worried about her health, and he had been so tired all morning without assigning her any work.

"Oh! I'll arrange for you to do something in a while."

Chen Mo replied somewhat unnaturally, then turned his consciousness to the system panel in his mind; he had to keep a close eye on the changes in the System Funds.
