Chapter 2: Is it better to spend money when the company goes bankrupt?

"Now."

Hearing Liu Cheng's question.

Chen Mo picked up his phone without thinking, found Liu Cheng's bank account, and quickly transferred four hundred thousand over.

How could he miss such a great opportunity to spend money?

Then, he transferred the fifty thousand yuan lawyer's fee to Tang Qiu.

As soon as the transfer was complete,

He felt a slight change in the System panel in his mind and quickly immersed himself to look.

He found that the original System funds of one million yuan had now become 550,000 yuan.

The next step was how to reasonably spend the remaining 550,000 yuan.

It seems necessary to go to the company to see if there is anywhere he can spend money.

"President Chen is straightforward, clearly someone meant for great things."

Liu Cheng looked at the transfer information displayed on his phone, his spirits lifted, and a bright smile bloomed on his face.

"It's still early. I'll take President Chen to the factory to do the handover."

This was like getting a pillow just as you were falling asleep.

He was just thinking of going to the company, and Liu Cheng spoke up.

Sensible.

Chen Mo nodded in satisfaction, directly agreeing to Liu Cheng's invitation, then turned to look at Lawyer Tang and said.

"Lawyer Tang, would you like to go and take a look?"

"Alright."

Tang Qiu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. She mainly wanted to go and see if the company had the problems she was worried about.

If it did, with her identity as a lawyer, she might still be able to help resolve some issues.

After all, she had received this fifty thousand yuan lawyer's fee too easily; she hadn't really done anything.

Leaving the coffee shop,

The three of them came to the parking lot.

Chen Mo looked at Liu Cheng's old minivan, turned around, and got into Lawyer Tang's large Mercedes-Benz.

"President Chen, didn't you drive here?"

Lawyer Tang looked at Chen Mo sitting in the passenger seat and asked in confusion.

"I don't have a car."

Chen Mo answered truthfully. Although his family in this world was not poor, they were not very wealthy either.

Naturally, they didn't have extra spare money for him to buy a car.

Lawyer Tang's expression became even more peculiar. She hadn't expected that the other party could spend four hundred thousand to buy a loss-making company but hadn't thought of buying himself a car.

She found it increasingly difficult to understand the young people nowadays.

The car slowly started, following behind Liu Cheng's minivan.

………..

West City Industrial Park,

Changfeng Clothing Factory.

"You guys probably don't know, but the boss has already sold the factory. Today is the day to sign the contract."

Inside the workshop,

A young man with slightly dark skin looked at the dozen or so employees gathered around and said loudly.

"How do you know?"

An employee questioned.

"Of course, I heard it. I went to the office today to get a plan sheet and clearly heard the boss talking on the phone."

Li Shen looked at the disbelieving crowd and explained.

As his words fell, the crowd instantly fell into chaos.

They started discussing amongst themselves, with doubts, panic, worry, and so on… .

"The boss did indeed sell the company, but it has nothing to do with us. It's just a change of boss. We should do what we were doing; there's no impact."

A low voice came from the workshop entrance,

Then, a man wearing a white shirt walked in. He looked to be about thirty years old.

"Wei Yan, you're in sales, so naturally, you're in league with Liu Cheng."

Li Shen looked at the approaching man and said with a displeased expression.

Wei Yan's expression was helpless upon hearing this. He had known two days ago that the boss was going to sell the company, but after understanding the situation, he knew that the new boss would retain the company's original setup after buying it.

So, to avoid unnecessary panic, he planned to wait until the contract was signed and then bring the new boss over for the handover.

He just hadn't expected that the boss hadn't returned from signing the contract yet, and the news of the company's sale had already leaked out.

Looking at the restless crowd, he could only patiently explain.

"The boss has gone to sign the contract. If things go smoothly, he should be back soon and will bring the new boss over. You'll know if there are any changes when you ask then."

"Even if what you say is true, then tell me, who will pay this month's salary? Liu Cheng or the new boss?"

Li Shen had already decided to just go for it. He didn't care if the boss changed; he only cared about who would pay this month's salary. He didn't want to work for nothing this month.

As for potentially offending the boss by doing this, then so be it.

Anyway, this wasn't a good job. If it didn't work out, he would just find another one.

Wei Yan was also taken aback by this. He hadn't thought about the salary issue.

Logically, Liu Cheng should have settled the salary accounts before signing the contract, but Liu Cheng hadn't done so. He didn't know if it was intentional or if he had forgotten.

But now that the contract was signed, the company belonged to another boss.

He didn't know how to answer this question.

After thinking for a moment, he looked up at Li Shen.

"This is indeed a problem. When the boss returns, a few representatives can go and ask about it, but there's no need to make such a big fuss."

He was also an employee and naturally had the issue of salary, but as an adult, he still hoped to resolve problems through peaceful means.

………..

The car slowly entered West City Industrial Park.

"President Chen, this is our Clothing Factory."

After parking the car,

Liu Cheng led Chen Mo and Lawyer Tang to a factory area and introduced it with a gesture.

Chen Mo briefly looked around, then his gaze fixed on the simple company plaque, and his eyes lit up.

The plaque was the company's facade,

Such a broken plaque wouldn't do; it definitely needed to be replaced with a grander one.

Sure enough, when the thought arose, the System didn't pop up to remind him.

Feasible,

He hadn't expected to find a way to spend money right at the company entrance. This was a good omen.

Chen Mo thought to himself, unable to help but exclaim, "Good."

"As long as President Chen likes it. I'll take you to the office area first."

Liu Cheng's expression became even happier when he heard Chen Mo's exclamation.

Tang Qiu, on the other hand, looked at the dilapidated plaque with a puzzled expression, somewhat unable to understand how Chen Mo saw anything good about this company.

It was clearly very broken, wasn't it?

Moreover, she suddenly noticed a problem: why was the boss still introducing the company to Chen Mo?

Could it be!

Thinking this, she quickly caught up with Chen Mo.

"Is this your first time at the company?"

"Yes!"

Chen Mo nodded without hesitation and continued looking around, searching for places where he could spend money.

Indeed,

Tang Qiu's face darkened. She had previously thought that if the other party wanted to acquire this company, he would have at least conducted a site inspection. She never expected that he hadn't even visited before directly buying it.

"Aren't you afraid there's something wrong with this company?"

"Didn't you investigate? This company doesn't have any illegal activities, does it?"

Tang Qiu's expression froze. She finally understood what Chen Mo's bottom line for buying the company was: as long as it wasn't illegal, it was fine.

"President Chen, this is the factory area. The first floor on the left is the office, and upstairs are the employee dormitories. The right side is the workshop, also two stories."

"I'll take you to see the office first, and then we'll go to the workshop to do the handover with the employees."

Liu Cheng led Chen Mo and Lawyer Tang to a row of factory buildings.

The buildings only had two floors, and from the outside, some of the wall paint had peeled off, making them look very dilapidated.

Repairing the external walls of the factory building would also be an expense, Chen Mo thought to himself.

Pushing the door open, they walked in.

Liu Cheng was about to continue introducing, but he found that several employees were standing in the hall outside the office.

What's going on!

Before he could ask, he saw Wei Yan already walking over quickly.

"Boss, the employees already know about the company's sale. They want to know about this month's salary."
