Chapter 195: President Chen is giving us face.

After introducing the coffee shop, Li Shen took the opportunity to talk about Cangxue Games.

"You all might not be very familiar with Cangxue Games, but you should know about Tianlong, right? Tianlong is a game under Cangxue. Plus, there is a new game currently in development, so please look forward to it."

Livestream room comments:

"Damn, Tianlong was developed by your company? I play it every day. It's just that the equipment is too hard to grind, but I like it."

"Now that you mention it, it seems that coffee shop is probably pretty good too. I have to go try it when I have time."

"…"

Li Shen looked at the comments in the Livestream room and knew that the goal of this livestream had finally been achieved.

However, the only pity was that there were too few viewers in the Livestream room, with fewer than 200 people.

If he had known, he would have bought some traffic.

The morning passed quickly.

After confirming that all employees had gathered, they headed straight to the reserved hotel.

Inside the hotel,

Wei Yan, Li Shen, and a few other managers looked at the menu handed over by the hotel manager, their expressions troubled.

The morning activities had only cost a few tens of thousands of yuan in total.

Therefore, they had to spend over 900,000 yuan next.

"What should we do? At these menu prices, we might not be able to meet our spending quota today!"

Li Shen was a bit annoyed. He had chosen the restaurant this time, but he hadn't booked the Emperor Hotel that Chen Mo had chosen last time, but rather the Xingyu Restaurant they had used initially.

The menu prices at this Xingyu Restaurant were cheaper than at the Emperor Hotel, so it was clearly going to be more difficult to spend the 900,000 yuan quota.

Wei Yan thought for a moment and asked.

"Have you tallied up the people who are going to go singing after the meal?"

"It's been tallied, there are 143 people in total."

Li Shen said.

Singing would be in the evening, so attendance for this activity was not mandatory.

"Alright, we can reserve some private rooms at a nearby karaoke bar first to see how much we can spend. As for here, we can order all the expensive dishes once, and then add more as appropriate."

"If that really doesn't work, we'll just have to order this."

Wei Yan pointed at the menu.

Li Shen took a curious look, and his throat couldn't help but gulp.

Red wine.

The red wine at this restaurant was cheaper than at the Emperor Hotel, costing only 800 yuan a bottle.

But did they really have to order red wine again? The reason he chose Xingyu Restaurant was specifically because he didn't want to see the red wine from the Emperor Hotel.

Could it be that even after coming to Xingyu Restaurant, they still had to drink red wine?

…

The next morning,

Yang Dahai parked the business van at the entrance of the office building, then quickly went to the back door and opened it.

Chen Mo slowly got out of the car and was just about to walk into the office building when he saw Li Shen and Wu Yu walking over from a short distance away, swaying unsteadily.

Both of them looked listless, as if they hadn't woken up yet.

What was going on?

But soon, a smell of alcohol wafted over from them.

Chen Mo understood instantly; these two guys must have drunk too much at the team-building event yesterday and hadn't sobered up yet.

"Hello, President Chen!"

Seeing President Chen standing at the entrance of the office building, Li Shen and Wu Yu hurriedly greeted him, though their hearts were tight—would they be criticized for coming to work in this state?

But there was no helping it; yesterday, in order to meet the spending quota, they had ultimately ordered red wine.

Neither of them had drunk little, and then at the karaoke bar, they were toasted by a bunch of employees.

Mixing beer and red wine—the result was predictable. Neither of them went back to the factory yesterday; they just stayed in a nearby hotel for the night.

To avoid being late for work, they had gotten up early and taken a taxi to the company, resulting in this state.

Coming to work in this state, it was normal to be criticized, and both of them were prepared for it.

But what they didn't expect was that President Chen looked at them with a smile, without the slightest hint of anger or reprimand.

"Well done. Keep it up in the future."

Chen Mo reached out and patted both their shoulders, then walked into the office building with satisfaction.

These two had finally wised up. This state of working was exactly what he needed, he had to encourage them.

"Brother Shen, is President Chen encouraging us to do this?"

Wu Yu looked at President Chen, who was walking into the office building, and asked, puzzled.

"What do you know? You know that what President Chen said was clearly sarcasm, right? He did this undoubtedly to give us face. After all, this is in front of the office building, and quite a few people are watching. If he reprimanded us here, wouldn't it make us a laughing stock? How would we manage the employees under us in the future?"

"So, we must pay attention in the future; President Chen is giving us face, we cannot push our luck."

Li Shen looked at the back that had already disappeared into the office building, his face full of reverence.

President Chen is truly too great.

Hearing Li Shen's explanation, Wu Yu was suddenly enlightened.

So that's how it is.

As expected of the employee who has been with President Chen the longest, he could grasp President Chen's meaning so quickly. It seems he still needed to work harder!

…

Chen Mo arrived at his office,

He took a look at the consumption report from yesterday's team building; it had indeed followed his requirements, spending over 1 million yuan.

Plus the December salaries, which he had also arranged for the finance department to distribute in advance.

Added to that were the taxes, and some living expenses like electricity and water bills.

A total of nearly 4 million yuan in System Funds had been consumed.

Now, there was only 1.3 million yuan of System Funds left, and of this 1.3 million, over 800,000 was charity funds.

That's right.

It was 800,000.

He hadn't expected that going to the countryside to support those empty-nest elderly would only cost over 300,000 yuan.

The main thing was that rice and flour didn't cost that much; a 100-jin bag of rice was only a little over 100 yuan. Two bags of rice, two bags of flour, and two barrels of soybean oil for one family added up to less than 1,000 yuan.

Adding the 5,000 in subsidies, it came to less than 6,000 yuan per family.

He had run through the surrounding villages and supported nearly 50 poor elderly households.

Calculating it this way,

after deducting the 800,000-plus in charity funds, he only had 500,000-plus in System Funds left.

To complete the mission, he only needed it to be under 7.5 million, which was already very safe. Judging by his company's current capabilities, wanting to have 7 million in revenue in a short period was simply impossible.

There shouldn't be any surprises for this special mission.

After the special mission was completed, it would be the system settlement in two months.

To fully convert the System Funds, he needed to spend the System Funds down to below 150,000. Judging by this development trend, he still had a chance to complete it.

15 million!

Once he thought about how after the full conversion, he could obtain 15 million in personal assets, directly achieving the status of a multi-millionaire.

By then,

wouldn't luxury cars and mansions be something he could buy whenever he wanted?

Thinking of this,

Chen Mo instantly felt motivated—spend money, he had to spend money ruthlessly.

Time passed,

and soon it was twelve o'clock noon. Shen Rou had already returned from the canteen with food, but she had been paying attention to the system panel and had no intention of eating.

Ding!

The system sound rang out.
