Chapter 25 Only the most expensive

"Mr. Chen, here are the decoration company's quotation and floor plan. You can take a look."

Shen Rou walked over with a stack of documents.

"Mm."

Chen Mo reached out, took the documents, and casually flipped through them.

Shen Rou, as an assistant, was quite meticulous; she had stapled each company's quotation and floor plan together and written the company's name on them.

It was easy to distinguish between them.

For such a careful assistant, a salary of 6,000 yuan wouldn't do; her salary needed to be increased.

"Well done, it seems you've fully adapted to the assistant's job."

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Chen."

Shen Rou thanked him, a slight smile appearing on her face.

The feeling of being affirmed was very pleasant.

"Mm, starting next month, your salary will be raised to 8,000 yuan."

Chen Mo looked at the happy Shen Rou and said with a smile.

He secretly complained in his heart, this dog system was too stingy, only allowing a 2,000 yuan increase.

"Ah!"

Shen Rou exclaimed, then looked at Chen Mo in disbelief, momentarily wondering if she had misheard.

"Mr. Chen, were you just talking about a salary increase?"

"Yes, after observing you these past few days, your professional ability is very good, and the company's staffing is not yet complete, so most of the work requires you to do it alone. Therefore, a raise is inevitable."

"But, isn't that a bit too much?"

Shen Rou said softly; she was very happy about the raise, but she didn't expect it to be a 2,000 yuan increase all at once.

"Not at all, you deserve it."

"You go ahead and get busy; I need to look at these companies' quotations."

Seeing that Shen Rou was about to say something more, Chen Mo directly waved his hand.

Seeing this, Shen Rou reluctantly turned and left.

However, she secretly made up her mind that since Mr. Chen valued her so much, she must work even harder.

Chen Mo, however, was unaware of Shen Rou's thoughts; he was currently frowning as he flipped through these quotations.

He had clearly told those designers that all decoration materials should be name-brand.

But he had just flipped through four or five decoration companies' quotations, and the most expensive quote was only 200,000 yuan.

And he had roughly glanced at the materials used in the quotations; although they weren't small brands, they were still inferior to the major brands he knew.

The most outrageous part was that the central air conditioning only had a quote of just over 20,000 yuan.

Chen Mo, speechless, threw these companies' documents aside and continued to pick up other companies' quotations.

However, very quickly, his brows furrowed even tighter; the quotes from these companies were no different from the previous ones and did not meet his spending expectations at all.

The quotations were thrown aside one by one, and soon, out of more than ten quotations, only three remained.

Hmm,

Just when Chen Mo had given up hope on the quotations, he finally saw a different one.

The amount on this quotation was a staggering 450,000 yuan.

This was more than double the quotes from other decoration companies.

He briefly looked at the materials on the quotation; they were completely in line with his requirements.

Not bad,

Is there someone who can understand what I mean?

Chen Mo nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the remaining two quotations, finding nothing unusual, and directly threw them aside.

"This is it."

Chen Mo kept the quotation from Cheng Lin Decoration and called Shen Rou over again.

As for the floor plan, he only glanced at it; it was not much different from what he had described, and there were no outrageous designs, so he didn't delve deeper.

"Mr. Chen, have you chosen?"

Shen Rou looked at the quotation in Chen Mo's hand with curiosity, wondering which decoration company Mr. Chen had chosen.

While organizing the quotations, she had also roughly looked at the quotes from various decoration companies; except for one ridiculously priced one, the others were quite similar, and she didn't know which lucky one would be chosen.

Shen Rou curiously looked at the name on the quotation.

Cheng Lin Decoration,

Somewhat familiar.

However, very quickly, Shen Rou knew why it was familiar; this Cheng Lin Decoration was clearly the most outrageous quotation, with a quote more than double that of other decoration companies.

So she had a very deep impression of this decoration company; at the time, she was still muttering about how such a high quote could possibly be chosen.

But reality slapped her in the face; Mr. Chen had indeed chosen this decoration company.

Is there something special about it?

Shen Rou was puzzled and opened the quotation to look, quickly realizing the truth.

This quotation was expensive, but there was a reason for it; the decoration materials used were all major brands, which was consistent with the requirements Mr. Chen had described the day before yesterday.

The other quotations were much worse.

Indeed, Mr. Chen's concern for his employees was genuine; he didn't compromise at all, even on the decoration materials.

This was unlike those bosses who talked about various benefits for employees but did nothing in practice, or if they did, it was with many discounts.

Mr. Chen walked the talk.

It was truly wonderful to have such a boss.

As Shen Rou thought about it, her lips unconsciously curved into a smile.

She took the quotation back to her seat, picked up the phone, and called the designer from Cheng Lin Decoration.

………

Cheng Lin Decoration,

Wang Yang sat absentmindedly at his workstation; ever since his colleague said his quotation had problems and shouldn't have been so expensive, he had started to feel anxious.

He spent the entire morning anxiously waiting for the result.

Every time his phone showed some activity, he would eagerly open it to see if there was already a result from that side.

"Xiao Yang, still no reply from them?"

A designer walked by and casually asked.

"No."

Wang Yang glanced at his phone, then shook his head.

"Then it's probably a no-go. You've sent it out for so long; if it had been chosen, they would have called you already."

"Don't wait anymore, work hard, there are many opportunities to become a full-time employee. If you miss this one, just wait for the next."

The designer patted Wang Yang's shoulder, acting like an older brother comforting a younger one.

"I know, Brother Jun."

Wang Yang nodded disappointedly.

He took this design project very seriously; both the design drawings and the quotation were done with great care.

All for the sake of his design proposal being chosen, so he could also take the opportunity to become a full-time employee.

Although he was prepared for rejection, when the result actually fell upon him, he still felt somewhat disappointed.

"Good that you know. Don't be discouraged. Next time you make a quotation, you can discuss it with me. As a senior, I can still pass on some experience to you."

"Then I'll have to trouble Brother Jun a lot in the future."

Wang Yang, hearing this, looked at Chen Jun with great gratitude; getting guidance from a senior could save him many detours.

Chen Jun nodded in satisfaction; he greatly enjoyed this look of gratitude.

He was about to say something more.

But Wang Yang's phone suddenly rang.

He looked at the caller ID.

"Brother Jun, it's the decoration side calling. I'll take it."
