Chapter 20 Your boss is so generous

Knock knock knock!

The door was knocked on once more.

Listening to the gentle yet rhythmic knocking, Chen Mo carefully opened the door a crack and peered outside.

When he finally saw what was outside, he let out a sigh of relief.

He saw a little girl holding a bag with both hands, and perhaps because it was a bit heavy, her small body was leaning entirely against the wall next to the door.

No wonder he hadn't seen anything through the peephole.

And he recognized this little girl; she was Yang Dahai's daughter from downstairs.

When Yang Duoduo saw Chen Mo open the door, she quickly handed the bag to him.

"Hello, Brother, my mom asked me to bring this over."

Seeing the little girl's struggle, Chen Mo quickly took the bag from her.

Looking at the individual lunchboxes inside the bag and the aroma wafting from them, he knew what it was without asking.

"Thank you, what's your name?"

Chen Mo bent down and ruffled the little girl's head, thanking her. It was a kind gesture from Yang Dahai's family, and he couldn't very well refuse.

Besides, he was just about to eat dinner.

"My name is Yang Duoduo, Brother can call me Yang Duoduo."

"Brother, Mom said the food should be eaten while it's hot, so I'm going back now."

Yang Duoduo blinked her watery big eyes and said with a smile.

Without waiting for Chen Mo's reply, she quickly ran downstairs, seemingly in a great hurry.

Seeing this, Chen Mo smiled, closed the door, and took out the dishes one by one, arranging them on the table.

There were actually six dishes in total, and smelling the fragrant food and seeing its appealing presentation, his appetite instantly increased.

He picked up his chopsticks and tasted it; the flavor was also excellent.

It could truly be described as perfect in color, aroma, and taste.

With such good cooking skills, she could definitely be hired as a chef once the cafeteria is built. Tomorrow, he could ask Yang Dahai what he thinks.

Anyway, it's all about spending money, and it doesn't matter who he hires as a chef. Why not help them out if he can?

………

Night.

Shen Rou had just finished her part-time job and was walking downstairs to the dormitory building when her phone rang.

She glanced at the caller ID.

And quickly answered.

"Wu Grandma, is something wrong?"

"Xiao Rou, why did you transfer so much money? Didn't I tell you not to worry about the orphanage?"

"If you send us all this money, what will you eat and where will you live?"

An old voice came from the phone.

"Wu Grandma, don't worry, I'm currently living in the school dormitory, which doesn't cost money, and the company provides food."

"So, please keep the money without worry and buy some delicious things for those younger brothers and sisters."

Shen Rou said with a smile. After work today, she transferred all the six thousand-plus yuan she had received into the orphanage's account.

She had grown up in the orphanage herself, receiving its kindness since childhood. Now that she was earning money, she naturally wanted to give back to the orphanage.

Moreover, some changes had recently occurred at the orphanage. If she didn't send money, the children there would probably go hungry.

Although her money couldn't completely change the orphanage's current situation, it could at least ensure those children had something to eat.

"Oh, you child!"

A sigh came from the phone.

"Then I'll thank you on behalf of those little ones, but don't do this again. You're in the prime of your youth, and you should start thinking about yourself."

"Also, if you keep sending all your money to us, how will you find a boyfriend?"

"Then I won't get a boyfriend. Anyway, I won't abandon the orphanage."

Shen Rou said stubbornly.

The money for her schooling was initially provided by the orphanage, and that money could have been used to buy more delicious food for the children.

She hung up the phone.

And walked directly into the dormitory building.

"Oh, our Rou Rou is back."

As soon as she walked into the dorm, Zhang Lan rushed over and hugged her.

"How about it? Was I right? Did the boss of that company fall for your beauty?"

Shen Rou looked at Zhang Lan's gossipy expression and rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"What are you talking about? That boss is nothing like what you said."

"Then what's he like? Tell me quickly."

Zhang Lan seemed intrigued and pulled Shen Rou, asking incessantly.

Shen Rou had no choice but to recount her experiences at the company today.

"Ah, there's actually such a generous boss? You're not pulling my leg, are you?"

Zhang Lan exclaimed, somewhat disbelieving.

Getting paid early, installing air conditioning in the workshop, and just for helping to direct one sentence, getting 200 yuan for labor.

All these scenarios, no matter how she thought about it, could only happen in a dream.

"Believe it or not, get away, I need to study."

Shen Rou pushed away Zhang Lan, who was clinging to her, and began to search for information.

Zhang Lan looked at her phone; it was almost midnight.

"What time is it? Aren't you sleeping?"

"I'm looking up some information to see what professional qualities an assistant needs. I've just started my internship, and I'm not very familiar with this area of work."

Shen Rou said without lifting her head. She was very optimistic about this job.

So she wanted to improve her abilities as much as possible and strive to stay at the company.

"Since this job has good benefits, why don't you quit your evening part-time job? That way you can relax a bit."

Zhang Lan couldn't understand why Shen Rou made herself so tired.

Shen Rou's hand movements paused, then she spoke.

"Let's talk about it later."

The money she was earning now was not enough to completely improve the lives of those orphans, so she would earn as much as she could.

…………

In front of the 4S shop.

Chen Mo surveyed the luxurious facade of the 4S shop and nodded with satisfaction.

As expected, it was the largest 4S shop in Jiang City.

"Let's go, let's go in and take a look."

He turned to Shen Rou and Yang Dahai behind him and said.

"Hello, what kind of car are you looking to buy? I can show you around."

As soon as they entered the 4S shop, a salesperson walked over.

"I'll just look around first."

Chen Mo didn't answer directly but instead began to stroll around the 4S shop.

It was his first time at a 4S shop; how could he not look around?

Shen Rou and Yang Dahai also looked curiously left and right.

"Sir, this car you're looking at is this year's new model, and it's selling very well. If you buy it now, there's also a discount."

"And the configuration is also very…"

The salesperson saw Chen Mo lingering in front of a car for a long time and quickly stepped forward to explain.

"How much?"

Chen Mo asked directly.

"The high-end configuration of this car costs 160,000, but if you buy it today, there's a promotional event, so it will be cheaper."

160,000?

Too little.

Chen Mo shook his head and walked directly to other vehicles.

Just like that, Chen Mo continuously walked past one car after another, occasionally asking about the vehicle's price.

At first, the salesperson was still enthusiastic about explaining the vehicle's configuration and so on, but in the end, she simply stated a price.

It wasn't that she was unprofessional; it was just that she didn't know how many cars she had explained along the way, and she was genuinely tired of talking.

Moreover, looking at the other party's demeanor, it seemed like he was just there to ask for prices and had no intention of buying anything.

Just as the salesperson thought Chen Mo was going to continue looking at cars, she saw him suddenly stop.
