Chapter 257 Mingri Group

Time passed, and soon it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

After eating yuanxiao in the evening, Chen Mo decided to return to Jiang City the next day.

He had stayed at home long enough, and as he stayed longer, his status in the family had dropped significantly.

It wasn't like when he first got home, when they would make whatever he wanted to eat.

"Leaving tomorrow? Why not stay a few more days? Didn't you say you don't start work until March 1st?"

Yang Xiulian spoke up.

"I won't stay. There aren't many days left until March 1st. As a leader of the company, I need to go back early to handle some matters."

Chen Mo casually made up an excuse.

It wasn't entirely a lie; he did have things to do after returning.

After all, if he were to establish a film and television company, he would definitely need to handle some paperwork and select a location for the company.

Choosing a location was easy; Wang Yang had already sent a message saying that his 10-story office building had been renovated.

Using one floor as the office location for the film and television company would be enough.

However, he would need to handle some of the procedural issues himself.

Then there was the plan for the senior singing and dancing troupe he had thought of earlier, which also needed to be prepared for implementation.

This new money-losing project was the top priority and had to be handled as soon as possible.

Therefore, it was very necessary to go back a few days early to get all these things sorted out.

"Hmm, work is important. Since they pay you such a high salary, you must be responsible."

Upon hearing that her son was returning to handle work matters, Yang Xiulian did not stop him again.

"I know."

Chen Mo nodded. Up until now, his family only knew that he had opened a Garment factory with a friend and was responsible for managing it.

The next day, Chen Mo got in the car and started the engine. When he came back, the car was full of New Year's goods.

When he left, the car was full of local specialties from home.

"Drive slowly on the road."

"When you're by yourself, don't just eat takeout. Eat on time."

"If work is too tiring, take a break. Don't wear yourself out."

"…"

Yang Xiulian looked at Chen Mo in the driver's seat,叮嘱ting him endlessly, her eyes filled with reluctance.

"I know, Mom. I'm leaving now!"

Chen Mo looked at his parents, waved his hand, and then started the car and drove away.

Through the rearview mirror, he could see his parents standing in the same spot, watching him leave.

During the New Year this year, he had intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that he wanted his parents to come to Jiang City, but in the end, they refused, citing that they were used to staying at home and didn't want to leave.

After all, this was the place where they had lived their entire lives. If they left, it would be leaving their homeland.

Of course, more importantly, his parents—one a teacher and the other a public servant in a government department—both held very decent positions.

Although their salaries weren't very high, it was enough for them to spend. Their lives were worry-free.

Therefore, he did not persist.

He set off in the morning and arrived in Jiang City by the afternoon.

He did not go directly back to his residence, Changbai Jingyuan, but instead headed to the office building.

The office building had already been renovated, so he naturally had to go take a look. Of course, the main thing was to check out his luxurious office.

Mingri Group.

Arriving at the bottom of the office building, Chen Mo looked up and saw four large characters at the top of the building.

Although he couldn't see them very clearly from here, he knew those four characters were… Mingri Group.

Entering the office building. He went straight to the top floor.

Upon entering the top floor, the entire field of vision suddenly opened up.

This scene was exactly the same as those seen in television dramas regarding Presidents Office; it felt bright, clean, and was complemented by carefully arranged greenery and potted plants.

It gave people a feeling of being high-end.

After looking around the top floor, he finally walked straight to the Presidents Office.

He gently pushed the door open and walked in.

Before he could admire the layout of the office, he saw a figure inside.

Shen Rou!

Why was she here?

It looked like she was cleaning the office.

Hearing the sound of the office door opening, Shen Rou looked up as well.

She was slightly stunned, then spoke with some surprise.

"President Chen, you're back."

"Yes. What are you doing here? Didn't you say work doesn't start until March 1st?"

Chen Mo nodded, looking at the rag in Shen Rou's hand in confusion.

Shen Rou heard this and explained.

"I didn't have anything to do during my break. I happened to hear a couple of days ago that the office building was renovated, so I came over to tidy up."

"By the way, the office desks and chairs were replaced during the renovation, but the computers weren't. I was worried that there might be important files on the computers, so I had someone transport the computers from the Garment factory over here."

"Mm, thank you for your hard work."

Chen Mo thanked her and then began to walk around the office.

This office was his largest one so far; including the lounge inside, it was nearly 300 square meters in total.

As for Assistant Shen Rou's office, this time it wasn't arranged inside his office, but rather next door, with a door connecting the two.

The main purpose of doing this was that he had already handed over most of the trivial work to Shen Rou, so when staff members reported their work, as long as it wasn't a major issue, they wouldn't need to come find him; they could just find Shen Rou directly.

Therefore, by placing Shen Rou's office next door, employees wouldn't need to enter his office when looking for her.

And when Shen Rou needed to report on work, she could come directly to his office through the connecting door, which was much more convenient.

Walking slowly around the office—bookshelves, the boss's desk and chairs, sofa, coffee table… this is what a boss's office should look like.

Coming to the spacious floor-to-ceiling windows, he could clearly see the winding Qingyun River in the distance.

He turned and entered the lounge.

The layout inside was similar to a normal residence, about 90-plus square meters, with a bedroom, a walk-in closet, a bathroom, and a living room. The furniture and appliances were also fully equipped.

As for a kitchen or the like, it wasn't equipped, as it was just a lounge after all.

After roughly touring the office layout, Chen Mo sat down on the boss's chair with satisfaction.

Now, apart from his personal assets not looking like a boss, everything else could be considered that of a qualified boss.

"President Chen, coffee."

Not long after he sat down, Shen Rou walked over with a cup of coffee.

"Thank you."

Chen Mo took the coffee and took a light sip.

"Did you change the coffee beans? This one is a bit different."

He looked up at Shen Rou; this cup of coffee was much more mellow.

Shen Rou smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"No, it was on Teacher Su's recommendation that we changed the coffee machine. The coffee it makes tastes more mellow than before."

"Oh!"

Chen Mo nodded faintly, thinking to himself that Teacher Su was indeed a professional.

He leaned back comfortably in the boss's chair, his gaze suddenly drawn to a green plant in the distance. It had a tall trunk and lush leaves, a plant he had never seen before.

"What kind of plant is that?"

"This is a Money Tree. Li Shen sent it over yesterday. He said he was worried that the feng shui here wasn't good, so he bought many of them and placed them on every floor."

Shen Rou said with a smile.
