Chapter 144 Should I Know?

“My doing?”

“What part of my doing?”

Chen Mo was a bit confused when he heard Li Maode’s question.

“What exactly happened? What does that empty workshop have to do with me?”

“Mr. Chen doesn’t know?”

“Should I know?”

Li Maode looked at Chen Mo, who genuinely seemed unaware, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

“That was a Mechanical Factory. Yesterday, about eighty percent of the factory’s employees all resigned.”

“What does their resignation have to do with me?”

Chen Mo was even more confused.

“Isn’t your Clothing Factory hiring? Those resigned employees all came to your Clothing Factory. Now that Mechanical Factory has stopped production; even if they hire new employees, they can’t compete with your Clothing Factory. This morning, the boss of that Mechanical Factory found me and returned that workshop. He plans to rent a new workshop elsewhere.”

Li Maode recounted the entire incident.

This matter didn’t just affect that Mechanical Factory; other factories in the Industrial Park were also impacted. However, the biggest impact was on small factories that hadn’t signed labor contracts with their employees.

Even if employees who had signed labor contracts wanted to resign, they needed to follow a process.

But those small factories without labor contracts were in trouble; if an employee wanted to leave, it was just a matter of a single word.

When he first heard about this, he was also startled. later, he saw that the recruitment website was only hiring 70 employees, and most of them had already been hired, so he relaxed.

If other factories were also like that Mechanical Factory, with employees collectively resigning, causing the boss to return the workshop, he would be ruined!

His income was linked to these rented-out workshops.

There’s more to this?

Chen Mo’s mouth dropped open in surprise as he listened to Li Maode’s explanation.

“My apologies, unseen boss of the Mechanical Factory, I didn’t do it on purpose.”

Chen Mo apologized silently, then spoke calmly.

“Let’s discuss the price of that Clothing Factory.”

“Okay!”

Li Maode nodded. Before, he had thought that Mr. Chen was deliberately targeting that Mechanical Factory.

After some negotiation, they finally rented it for two years at a price of 160,000 per year.

This alone spent another 320,000 of the system’s funds.

This didn’t even include the renovation of this new workshop.

He hadn’t expected that hiring a few fashion designers would lead to such a large expense.

These fashion designers were really worth hiring!

After signing the contract,

Chen Mo contacted the finance department to transfer the money to Li Maode’s account.

Li Maode also bid farewell and left.

Once Li Maode left, Chen Mo’s consciousness entered the system panel.

After these days of diligently spending money,

The system funds had now dropped to over 16 million, which was still a lot.

However, Chen Mo was not anxious about this.

The renovation budget hadn’t come out yet, and the 3.2 million for purchasing machines hadn’t been spent. If these two items were completed, the system funds would definitely drop sharply.

Not long after,

Shen Rou returned to the office. That fashion designer hadn’t returned; she must have left directly.

“Shen Rou, this is the new workshop I rented. Take a look at the information. In the afternoon, contact Wang Yang and have him come over tomorrow to take measurements. Also, renovate the four Rooms upstairs.”

“Okay, Mr. Chen.”

Shen Rou took the materials Chen Mo handed her, feeling a bit puzzled. She had only been out for such a short time, and Mr. Chen had already rented a new workshop. This speed was simply too fast.

After arranging the renovation, it was almost lunchtime.

Shen Rou noticed the time, put away the workshop materials, and then took out several lunchboxes from the cabinet to go to the cafeteria to get food.

Chen Mo leaned back comfortably in his chair.

It was truly comfortable to have Shen Rou get him food at work and Yang Duoduo deliver food after work!

The only regret was that he was a bit poor.

That’s right, just poor.

Originally, with over 80,000 in funds, after returning home, he only had less than 40,000 left.

Alas!

Other people’s systems would have hundreds of millions of assets credited in minutes, accompanied by luxury cars and beautiful women.

His system, on the other hand, had to rely on settlements to get money.

And even that was fine,

But he also encountered a group of mischievous employees.

However, it was good that after his numerous adjustments, those mischievous ones had settled down.

Ring, ring, ring!

Suddenly, his phone on the table rang.

Tang Qiu!

He answered the call.

“Mr. Chen, the 500,000 worth of cat food and dog food have been prepared at the factory. If possible, they can depart tomorrow.”

“Alright, then, depart tomorrow.”

Chen Mo thought about tomorrow’s schedule. Besides notifying Wang Yang to come for measurements, there didn’t seem to be anything else, so he agreed directly.

As for measurements, he didn’t need to personally show up; he could just arrange for his subordinates to do it.

“Alright, I’ll inform the boss over there to load the cat food and dog food onto the truck today.”

Tang Qiu finished speaking and hung up the phone directly.

……….

Employee cafeteria,

“Old Lu, are those newly hired employees all from the Mechanical Factory?”

Jiang Cheng looked at some of the newly hired employees, who seemed familiar. They were clearly his former colleagues from when he worked at the Mechanical Factory.

“Not only those few, but those over there are also from there.”

Lu Zhenguo pointed to another group of employees who were queuing, and chuckled dryly.

When he resigned that day, he casually mentioned the Clothing Factory’s recruitment while in the dormitory.

Then a younger employee in the same dormitory searched on a recruitment website and indeed saw that the Clothing Factory was hiring, and it was for 70 people.

Eventually, it developed into this situation.

Moreover, he heard from those employees that the Mechanical Factory had been forced to stop production because there was no one to work.

This was something he had never expected.

“Hello, Brother Jiang!”

At this moment, an employee came over after getting his food, looked at Jiang Cheng, and greeted him.

Jiang Cheng looked up and saw that it was indeed a former colleague.

However, the two were not very familiar at the factory back then, but there were no conflicts either.

So, he nodded and said,

“Sit down and eat together.”

He had no particular thoughts about the Mechanical Factory’s employees all coming to the Clothing Factory; after all, it didn’t affect the Clothing Factory.

Moreover, he had no good feelings for that Mechanical Factory; every day, it was nothing but exploiting employees.

Otherwise, so many people wouldn’t have chosen to resign just because their Clothing Factory started hiring.

“Thank you, Brother Jiang.”

The person quickly sat down upon hearing this.

Jiang Cheng looked at the person who had sat down and spoke calmly.

“Don’t thank me. This kind of thing isn’t popular here. If you want to stay, then work hard and don’t be lazy.”

“If I find out you’re not working properly, no matter how much you thank me, I won’t go easy on you.”

Since Mr. Chen had promoted him to the position of department head, he would manage the workshop with all his heart and effort, and he would not keep anyone who was lazy or tried to cut corners.

Only then could he be worthy of Mr. Chen’s trust in him.
