Chapter 18: The highest configuration is required, saving money does not exist

Chen Mo's expression stiffened; more than 7,000 yuan, what a joke.

This Wei Yan is toxic!

"Well, Xiao Wei, while over 7,000 yuan is enough, you need to consider the company's future development. When the company expands, it might venture into other fields, and then a configuration of over 7,000 yuan might not be sufficient."

"So, let's go with the 43,000 yuan one, twelve units."

"President Chen, won't the 43,000 yuan one be too extravagant?"

Wei Yan found some sense in what Chen Mo said, but there was no need to directly choose the highest configuration.

Even if they ventured into other fields later, a configuration around 20,000 yuan would suffice.

"We're going with the highest tier; you don't need to say anything more."

Chen Mo didn't give Wei Yan another chance to speak, directly setting the price.

"Oh, President Chen, I heard there's a discount event at the computer mall in half a month. Should we wait until then to buy?"

"No need. The office needs them urgently. Order them now and have them ready as soon as possible."

"But I heard that discount event would save a lot of money."

"No need."

Chen Mo said indifferently, then hung up the phone.

This Wei Yan is too much trouble.

If they waited half a month to buy, it would already be time for settlement.

Not far away,

Shen Rou had been observing Chen Mo's movements. Seeing him hang up the phone with a gloomy expression, she was filled with curiosity.

She wondered who had angered President Chen.

Half an hour later,

All the offices on the first floor were tidied up.

"President Chen, everything's done. How should we handle these remaining old desks and chairs?"

Li Shen walked over, pointing at the moved-out desks and chairs as he asked.

"You can handle them yourselves. See if anyone in the workshop needs them. If not, contact people from the second-hand market to sell them. The money from the sale can be used for your cigarettes."

Chen Mo glanced at the moved-out desks and chairs and said casually.

Though these desks and chairs were called old, they were all intact and perfectly usable if taken back.

"Thank you, President Chen."

Li Shen quickly thanked him. These desks and chairs were perfectly sufficient to take back as dining tables.

Chen Mo nodded, and when he saw the few people behind Li Shen, an idea struck him.

"Oh, give me the list of these people who moved the tables."

Li Shen looked puzzled, not knowing why Chen Mo wanted the names of these few people, but he still obediently gave him the list.

Chen Mo looked at the list, found each person's bank account, and transferred two hundred yuan to each.

These people helped move desks and chairs, which was not part of their regular work, so it was appropriate to give them a little extra pay.

Although it wasn't much, just over two thousand yuan for a dozen people, it was better than nothing; every little bit helped.

"President Chen, this money…"

Li Shen quickly received the transfer notification on his phone.

"This is your pay for helping move the desks and chairs. Don't worry about it."

"President Chen, this is what we should do. We don't need this pay."

Li Shen spoke up.

At the same time, the other workers also spoke one after another.

"President Chen, it's just a small matter. Just give us orders in the future. You've already handled the old desks and chairs for us; there's no need to give us money."

"President Chen, let us return this money to you. You've already been good enough to us."

Seeing this, Chen Mo quickly raised a hand to stop their discussion.

"These tasks are not what you should be doing. Your work is in the workshop, so giving you pay is what should be done. You don't need to argue anymore."

Everyone heard this and looked at Chen Mo with reverence.

They had long since had their edges smoothed by society; let alone helping move desks and chairs, they had even helped their bosses move house.

But these things were taken for granted in the eyes of those leaders, and they had long since grown accustomed to it.

At this moment, Chen Mo's actions gave them unprecedented respect.

"Thank you, President Chen."

Everyone spoke in unison at the same time, though without rehearsal.

Their voices were sincere, coming from the heart.

Chen Mo looked at the crowd, remained silent for a long time, then waved his hand and said,

"Everyone, disperse. Go do what you should be doing."

Everyone heard this, silently turned around, and headed straight for the workshop.

After all the workers left, Yang Dahai walked over, his expression serious.

"Thank you."

Just now, he had also received a transfer record.

"No need to thank me. This is your earned labor."

Chen Mo shook his head. He hadn't expected that his action would earn him the gratitude of these people; he just wanted to spend as much of the system's funds as possible.

"Then why did I also get money? I didn't move any desks or chairs!"

At this moment,

Shen Rou also walked over, asking with a puzzled expression.

Chen Mo heard this and lightly coughed twice.

After a while, he said,

"Didn't you just direct them on how to arrange things? Although you didn't physically participate in the labor, directing also counts as participating in labor."

"Ah!"

Shen Rou opened her mouth. She thought back and indeed, she had given some directions.

But it was only a brief direction, just telling them to move the desks and chairs a little to the left, and she hadn't done anything else after that.

Just one sentence had earned her 200 yuan in wages.

When did money become so easy to earn?

"Alright, there's no need to delve further into this matter."

Chen Mo didn't want to get entangled in this matter any further. He dropped that sentence and turned to walk into the office.

The afternoon passed quickly, and soon it was time to get off work.

"Yan Ge, you're back."

Li Shen greeted Wei Yan, who was driving into the company.

"Yeah, don't even mention it. Today, I spent the whole day helping the boss pick out computers and didn't see a single client."

Wei Yan sighed and said.

"President Chen is very good. If he asked you to do this, he must have his reasons."

"I know that, so I'm just saying it, not complaining."

"But President Chen is really generous with money. To equip the office with computers, he chose the highest configuration, costing over 40,000 yuan each."

Wei Yan said with admiration, but honestly, that feeling of spending money was truly exhilarating.

Recalling how he and the salesperson settled on 12 top-configured computers at the computer mall, the salesperson's excited expression was interesting to think about.

Li Shen heard this and also said with agreement,

"President Chen really isn't short on money. You don't know, today, a few colleagues from the workshop and I helped move some desks and chairs, and afterward, he actually transferred 200 yuan to each of us."

"It has nothing to do with not being short on money. There are many rich bosses, but how many have reached President Chen's level? I certainly haven't seen any."

"That's true."

Li Shen nodded in deep agreement, then spoke again.

"I heard today that there's a night market in Beishi with many street vendors. Let's go check it out tonight."

"Okay, go get the clothes out and put them in the trunk and back seat."

Wei Yan nodded.

Soon, the two of them moved the accumulated clothes from the storeroom and loaded them into the car.

They were only halfway done loading when a familiar voice came from behind.

"Need help?"

Chen Mo looked at the two men diligently loading the car and asked.
