Chapter 23: Rent a workshop and get me an order

“What do you mean?”

Chen Mo looked at Li Maode with a bewildered expression, a sudden bad feeling washing over him.

“It’s like this: our boss wants to customize a batch of work uniforms. Wei Yan came to my place yesterday, and we just happened to discuss it.”

“The sample was delivered to me this morning. I looked at it, and the workmanship and quality were quite good, so I ordered a thousand sets at 70 per set. So, the 70,000 deduction is for the work uniforms.”

Li Maode said happily. Renting out a property and completing the task assigned by his boss—today was truly his lucky day!

Wei Yan!

It was Wei Yan again.

This guy was deliberately going against him, wasn't he?

He wondered if he could fire him.

“Host, please note: as the boss, if you wish to fire an employee, you must provide a proper reason. Otherwise, employees should not be dismissed at will.”

Chen Mo sighed helplessly as he listened to the system’s warning.

However, Wei Yan himself hadn’t done anything wrong; his original intention was for the company’s benefit. If he were fired just for this, Chen Mo wouldn’t feel right about it.

He couldn’t fire him,

but if he used him, he would secretly cause trouble for him.

He only asked about a property, and Wei Yan brought back an order.

If he were to go out and run errands, who knew how many orders he would bring back?

He was too much trouble.

However, even if he couldn’t be dismissed, he had to find an opportunity to transfer him elsewhere.

Letting him cause trouble in the business department like this wouldn't do. At worst, he could be transferred elsewhere and given a higher salary.

Chen Mo secretly calculated in his mind.

“President Chen, is there something difficult?”

Shen Rou saw Chen Mo’s changed expression and quickly stepped forward to ask.

“It’s nothing.”

Chen Mo shook his head, then turned to look at Shen Rou.

“Find a renovation company. I want to renovate the newly rented property into a cafeteria.”

“Okay.”

Shen Rou nodded, returned to her seat, and began uploading renovation information online.

It was almost noon.

Yang Dahai brought Dong Hong to the company.

“I’m sorry, President Chen, the resignation took a bit of time.”

Yang Dahai said apologetically.

After dropping Chen Mo off at the company this morning, he had gone to pick up Dong Hong to bring her to the company with Chen Mo’s permission.

But he hadn’t expected that

the boss of Dong Hong’s company wasn’t there, and he had to wait for a long time.

“It’s not late. Since Hong Jie has already considered it, let’s sign the contract.”

Chen Mo smiled and handed the already prepared contract to Dong Hong.

With trust in Chen Mo, Yang Dahai took the contract without even looking at it and directly led Dong Hong to sign it.

In a moment, the contract was signed.

Putting away the contract,

Chen Mo directly transferred the salary to Dong Hong’s account, a total of 7,900.

“Thank you, President Chen, you are our family’s benefactor!”

Dong Hong looked at the transfer information on her phone, her eyes reddening for a moment, and she bowed to Chen Mo in thanks, her expression incredibly sincere.

Chen Mo hadn’t expected Dong Hong to do something like this and quickly reached out to help her up.

“Hong Jie, you put in the work, and I pay the salary. There’s no need to thank me.”

“That’s different. In any case, you helped our family.”

“And there’s the cafeteria. It’s almost noon, I’ll go cook. I can’t take this salary for nothing.”

Dong Hong said seriously. The salary was already in her hands, and she felt uneasy if she didn’t do something.

“Hong Jie, the cafeteria is under construction. The company doesn’t have a place to cook yet.”

“Ah, how can that be? Then I’ll return the salary to you first. When the cafeteria is built and I can work, then you can give it to me.”

“Hong Jie, don’t worry. You can’t cook, but there are other tasks you need to complete.”

Chen Mo said with a smile. He truly felt the simplicity of this family.

“I need Hong Jie to create a menu for the future cafeteria, the more dishes, the better.”

Dong Hong regained her composure and readily agreed.

She was confident she could create a menu.

When she was young, she had learned many cuisines from her father, but some dishes she hadn’t made in a long time. She would have to practice them when she got home.

………

Wuyu Office Building.

Chenglin Renovation.

“Everyone, stop for a moment. There’s a job tomorrow that requires measurements. Who wants to go?”

A slightly plump man walked into the studio, clapped his hands, and said.

“Brother Qi, what kind of job is it?”

A designer asked curiously.

The other designers also looked at the slightly plump man with interest. A good job could earn them a lot of commission.

“The资料 says it’s for renovating a cafeteria.”

Qi Bu said.

As his words fell, everyone instantly lost interest.

Renovating cafeterias, restaurants, and the like.

In their design department, it was considered the job with the lowest profit.

Moreover, sometimes there were many requirements, and often after spending a lot of effort on the design drawings, the order would be snatched by other renovation companies.

“Brother Qi, I haven’t finished a design for a villa here, so I won’t go.”

A man said.

“Brother Qi, I need to communicate with the previous client today.”

Qi Bu looked around and found that no one was willing to take the job. He sighed.

He knew there wasn’t much profit in this job, but even a small mosquito was still meat. As the supervisor, he couldn’t just leave this order aside.

After looking around, his gaze finally fell on a young man.

He remembered this young man was a newly hired intern who had been with the company for three months. He could already handle basic design drawings and quotations.

However, he hadn’t been officially hired yet, so he had always assisted other designers.

Perhaps this order could be given to him for practice. If he did well, he would be officially hired.

If he didn’t do well, there wasn’t much profit anyway, so it wouldn’t be a big loss.

Qi Bu thought to himself, then spoke directly.

“Wang Yang, you’ve been with the company for a while. Try this order. If you can complete it, we’ll consider making you a full-time employee.”

Saying that, he casually threw a document to Wang Yang.

“It has the contact person’s phone number and address. You can contact them yourself.”

“Thank you, Brother Qi.”

Wang Yang took the document and quickly thanked him.

Others might not value this job, but he was different. He was just an intern, and in the past, he had always assisted others.

But this time, he could complete an order independently. Regardless of whether the order was good or bad, it was an experience for him.

Moreover, if he could handle it well, he could become a full-time employee, which was something he had longed for for a long time.

He knew that once he became a full-time employee, he wouldn’t have to earn a fixed salary anymore. He could earn commission from renovation fees, just like other official employees.

After the supervisor left, several employees immediately gathered around Wang Yang.

One of the employees looked at the documents on the table and sighed.

“Xiao Yang, don’t have too much hope for this job. I’ve taken similar jobs a few times, and they’re very difficult.”

“Difficulty is secondary. The main thing is that the profit is too little, and it’s not proportional to the labor spent. It’s the kind of job that’s tasteless to eat and a shame to discard. In short, you’ll understand when you experience it yourself.”

“I think Brother Qi just couldn’t give it to anyone else, so he threw this order to you.”

“…”

Several designers discussed and complained around Wang Yang.

Almost all of them were not optimistic about this order.

Wang Yang felt a little nervous after hearing this, but thinking of the supervisor’s words about becoming a full-time employee, he still clenched his fists.
