Chapter 19 Mr. Chen should be encouraging us

Wei Yan turned his head and, upon discovering it was Chen Mo, quickly waved his hand.

"No need, Mr. Chen. It's not that heavy. We two can handle it quickly."

"Alright, then you two carry on."

Chen Mo looked at the bundles on the ground, didn't think much of it, replied with a smile, and then left directly.

After Chen Mo had walked far away,

Li Shen leaned over to Wei Yan and asked,

"Yan Ge, do you think Mr. Chen found out what we're doing?"

"He probably did. How could Mr. Chen not recognize these bundles of overstocked clothes?"

Wei Yan thought for a moment and said,

"Then what do we do? We originally wanted to give Mr. Chen a surprise."

"Actually, it's unrealistic for us to hide this from Mr. Chen. After all, as we sell off the overstocked clothes, the inventory in the warehouse will decrease, and Mr. Chen will find out sooner or later."

"That's true."

Li Shen nodded.

Wei Yan, however, smiled confidently.

"Look at Mr. Chen's smiling expression just now; he was clearly encouraging us. So, Mr. Chen supports what we're doing."

"Next, as long as we deal with these overstocked clothes, Mr. Chen will definitely be happy."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get going."

Li Shen quickly loaded the clothes onto the car.

Old City Market,

"Yang Duoduo, what do you want to eat tonight? Dad will buy it for you."

Yang Dahai, carrying a schoolbag, walked through the market with Yang Duoduo.

Yang Duoduo's gaze lingered on the meat stall for a long time, but soon shifted to the vegetable stand.

"Teacher said that eating more vegetables is healthy."

Yang Dahai felt a pang of sadness watching this scene. Although he and his wife tried their best to hide their financial difficulties from their child, he didn't expect their daughter to still notice.

Thinking about it, it was true.

His daughter, who used to love eating meat, hadn't mentioned wanting meat for some time.

But now that he had a job, and the pay was quite good, he naturally wouldn't be as frugal as before.

With that thought, he led his daughter towards the meat stall.

"Boss, three catties of pork, and two catties of beef."

Yang Dahai pointed to two good-looking cuts of pork and beef and said.

"Dad, Yang Duoduo doesn't like to eat meat."

Seeing this, Yang Duoduo reached out and tugged at Yang Dahai's sleeve.

Yang Dahai, with a pained expression, gently ruffled his daughter's little head, bent down, and softly said,

"Yang Duoduo, Dad can earn money now, so we don't have to be as tight as before."

"Really?"

Yang Duoduo's big eyes widened, still seeming a little disbelieving.

"Of course, it's true."

"Great! Yang Duoduo gets to eat meat tonight!"

Yang Duoduo laughed innocently.

Children are easily satisfied; being able to eat the meat they want can make them happy for a long time.

Not long after,

Yang Dahai walked out of the market, carrying large and small bags. Since he had a job today, he decided to celebrate and have a good meal.

Upon returning home,

Dong Hong was stunned to see Yang Dahai enter the house carrying large and small bags, then looked at her daughter and said,

"Yang Duoduo, go into your room for a bit. Mom and Dad need to talk."

"Oh!"

Yang Duoduo tilted her head, looked at her parents, and then obediently went into the room.

Once their daughter was inside,

Dong Hong looked at Yang Dahai with a serious expression.

"Don't you know our financial situation? Buying all this at once, what will we do later?"

Looking at the various meats, vegetables, and even fruits in the bags, Dong Hong's heart ached. The money spent on these things probably covered their usual monthly expenses.

Yang Dahai, hearing this, gave a silly grin.

"You can still smile."

Dong Hong grew even angrier, her eyes turning a little red.

Seeing that his wife was about to cry, Yang Dahai quickly went to comfort her.

"Alright, I'll tell you some good news. I found a job."

Dong Hong, hearing this, indeed calmed down a bit, then nervously asked,

"Is it the job you mentioned last night? Did they ask you for money?"

"No, that boss is very kind. There's no fee to join; I just need to sign the contract."

Yang Dahai said with a smile, thinking of his experience today. It was probably the luckiest day he'd had in recent years.

"It's not some kind of unfair contract, is it?"

"Oh, no, it's not an unfair contract. That boss is very kind; he even had his assistant help me explain the contents of the contract."

Yang Dahai looked at his wife's nervous expression, feeling a little sad yet also a little amused.

"But even if you found a job, you can't spend money like this! Oh, by the way, all the money is with me. Where did you get the money to buy all these things?"

"Oh, Yang Dahai, you've gotten bold! You've been secretly hiding private money from me!"

The more Dong Hong thought about it, the angrier she got, reaching out and giving Yang Dahai's waist a hard twist.

"Ow, ow, ow! Wife, let go first and listen to me."

Yang Dahai winced, quickly begging for mercy.

After a while,

On the sofa,

Dong Hong looked at the transfer record on her phone, her eyes instantly reddening, and tears streamed down uncontrollably.

"Wife, isn't this good news? Why are you crying?"

Yang Dahai, seeing this, felt a bit helpless.

"I'm crying because I'm happy. You must work hard from now on and don't displease the boss."

Dong Hong wiped her tears and said.

"I know. With such a good job in front of me, if I don't cherish it, I might as well die."

"Nonsense."

Dong Hong glared at Yang Dahai, then got up and walked towards the kitchen.

"This time is fine, but next time you're not allowed to buy these things. It's too wasteful."

"Hehehe, I know."

Yang Dahai gave a silly grin.

"What are you laughing at? Come over and help!"

"That Mr. Chen helped our family a great deal. I've noticed that his trash bags these past two days are full of takeout boxes. Eating takeout isn't healthy. Make a bit more food later and send it upstairs."

…………

Upstairs,

Chen Mo sat on the sofa, looking at the system panel in his mind.

"Host: Chen Mo"

"System Funds: 134,600 / 2,000,000"

"Personal Assets: 2,825"

"Settlement Cycle: In two weeks (Countdown: 11 days 15 hours…)"

Only spent a little over 600,000? Looks like I need to think of other ways to spend money.

I can think of a way to buy a car tomorrow, but according to the system's rules, it can probably only be a car within the normal operating scope of the company.

Buying a car worth several million is likely impossible.

However, the employees' lunch problem can be something to work on. Eating boxed lunches every day definitely won't do; it costs too little.

I could consider building a cafeteria and hiring a few star chefs. That kind of expense would quickly add up.

Hmm,

I can check it out when I go to the company tomorrow.

Having decided on his next plan, Chen Mo relaxed and leaned back on the sofa, checking the time. It was already past eight o'clock.

Time for dinner.

Just as he was about to pick up his phone to order some takeout to make do, there was a knock on the door.

Who would be knocking at this hour?

Chen Mo wondered, got up, walked over, and looked through the peephole, but saw nothing.

Did they knock on the wrong door?

Just as he was about to turn back, the door was knocked again.

What's going on?

Chen Mo looked at the empty corridor outside the peephole, feeling a chill run down his spine.

Is it haunted?
