Chapter 199: A Shill?

Listening to Li Shen's explanation, Liu Jie understood that Li Shen wanted to master editing techniques to create more engaging videos to promote the company.

Since that was the case, there was no need for him to be modest.

After all, the better the company developed, the more it would benefit him as well.

"Chief Li, if you want the videos you edit to generate traffic, relying solely on editing techniques isn't enough; you also need proper operations."

"However, the operations aspect is hard to master in a short time, so I'll teach you editing first."

"As for operations, I'll handle that for now."

"Alright, then I'll be troubling you." Li Shen thanked him.

"What trouble? We're all working for President Chen."

After work, "Brother Yang, let's go to Changbai Jingyuan." Chen Mo said as he sat in the car.

Since the authorization to use the vehicle had been granted, there was naturally no issue with him using the car for other matters after work.

As for Changbai Jingyuan, it was the Complex he had selected that afternoon to rent a place.

He had only rented his place in the Old City Community for half a year at the time, as he only intended to stay temporarily while waiting for the system settlement to succeed before moving to another residence.

However, he hadn't expected that after four settlements, he would have only accumulated less than 100,000 in personal assets.

This was mostly thanks to the previous time when the system updated and settled over 70,000 in personal assets at once.

Otherwise, he would likely be sleeping on the streets.

But this time, the system finally showed some conscience.

Not only could he use the company car, but it also provided him with a monthly rental allowance of 2,000, so he wouldn't need to spend his own money on housing anymore. Although 2,000 couldn't rent a luxury property, it was perfectly fine for a decent Complex.

Changbai Jingyuan was the property listing he had liked online, and he was preparing to go take a look.

Once he rented the place, his basic needs for clothing, food, housing, and transportation would be completely taken care of.

"President Chen, we've arrived." Yang Dahai parked the car in a parking space at the entrance of the Complex.

"Let's go, let's go up and take a look together." Chen Mo got out of the car and led the way toward the entrance of the Complex, where the real estate agent was already waiting.

"Hello, are you Mr. Chen? Please follow me." After meeting with the agent, the group walked into the Complex together.

They eventually entered a Western-style building and took the elevator to the third floor.

"Mr. Chen, this is it." The agent opened the door on the left and walked inside.

"The owner just finished renovating this Room; it was originally intended for their own use, but due to some circumstances, the family has to go abroad and won't be back for a while."

"That's why they decided to rent it out. The entire property is fully equipped. It's 93 square meters in total, a standard layout with two bedrooms, one living Room, one bathroom, and one kitchen, with all appliances and furniture included."

"If you rent it, you can move in immediately with just your bags."

Chen Mo listened to the agent's introduction while walking around the Room. The interior layout was indeed as the agent had described. The renovation and furniture were all brand new, and even the ceiling fixtures still had their plastic covers on.

"President Chen, are you planning to rent a new place?" Yang Dahai had been following behind President Chen, and upon hearing this, he finally realized that President Chen had come to look at property.

"Yeah, my lease at the Old City Community is about to expire, so I came to look at some new places. What do you think of this one?" Chen Mo turned to look at Yang Dahai.

Yang Dahai looked around at the interior. "The natural lighting and renovation of this Room are much better than the one at the Old City Community. Plus, when we entered the Complex, I noticed the landscaping and such were quite nice."

"Since you think it's nice, do you want to move to this Complex too?" Chen Mo said with a smile.

Of course, he had selfish motives. After all, if he moved away from the Old City Community, there would be no one to bring him breakfast, or dinner for that matter. Hmm, that little girl Yang Duoduo was also quite cute.

"Ah!" Yang Dahai was stunned for a moment, not expecting President Chen to ask such a thing.

However, looking at the renovation and layout of the Room, he felt a bit tempted. After all, the old Complex he lived in now was only 80 square meters; it was fine for him and his wife and Duo Duo to live there, but it got a bit crowded when his eldest daughter came back, and she had to share a bed with her younger sister.

In the past, life had been tight, and he hadn't had the means to move, but now his financial situation could fully support moving to a better place. Plus, as President Chen's driver, living in the same Complex meant he could arrive quickly if President Chen needed anything.

However, moving was a big decision, and he couldn't make up his mind right then and there.

"President Chen, I need to go back and discuss this with my family."

"Sure!" Chen Mo nodded. He was only making a suggestion; as for what Yang Dahai chose to do, he wouldn't interfere.

"If this gentleman wants to rent a place, the one next door is also available for rent. I can take you over to see it." The agent, having heard their conversation, rolled his eyes slightly and spoke up at the right moment.

"The one next door is for rent too?" Chen Mo looked at the agent with some surprise. When he had been looking at the listings, he really hadn't noticed that the neighbor next door was also available for rent.

"It definitely is. Both units belong to the same owner. This 93-square-meter one was prepared for the elderly, while the one next door is 130 square meters and was where the owner lived. But now the whole family has gone abroad, so naturally, they are both up for rent."

"The 130-square-meter one has a layout of three bedrooms, two bathrooms, one living Room, and one kitchen. It doesn't matter if you rent it or not, let me take you to have a look." The agent explained, and without waiting for their response, he walked out of the Room and opened the door to the one next door.

"Let's go, let's go take a look." Chen Mo followed.

"The renovation and furnishings in this Room are the same as the one next door, but because it's larger, the monthly rent is 2,800." The agent introduced as he saw them enter.

Chen Mo listened to the price the agent blurted out, knowing that if he wanted to live in a house this big, he would probably have to work harder at getting settlements.

After the tour, Chen Mo decided to rent the 93-square-meter unit right away. The rent was 1,900, which was 100 less than the 2,000 budget provided by the system.

Basically, properties around 2,000 were all about the same, and there was no need for him to specifically choose one that was exactly 2,000.

This property was excellent in terms of renovation, property management, and location. There was no need to keep searching.

… At Nanhe Coffee, Fang Chang and Wei Yan walked in and, guided by the staff, headed straight toward the two people sitting inside.

"President Du, President Chen, sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Not at all, not at all. It's not even the agreed-upon time yet; we're the ones who arrived early." Du Ziteng and Chen Cong looked at the two newcomers, realizing these were the people they were waiting for, and hurriedly stood up to shake hands.

After some brief pleasantries, both parties took their seats.

"Well, let's skip the small talk and get straight to the point, shall we?" Wei Yan looked up at Du Ziteng and Chen Cong sitting across from him, his expression inquisitive.

Du Ziteng was about to nod upon hearing this, but then he saw Chen Cong speak first.

"Before we discuss business, may I ask a question first?"

"Please go ahead, President Chen." Wei Yan looked serious. Whenever he was discussing business, if the other party said something like that, it usually meant they had discovered some issue on his side.

Just as he was bracing himself to deal with it, he heard Chen Cong speak.

"Does your company, Tianlong, have a shill with the account ID [Xue Luo]?"
