Chapter 275 Visit

Seeing the receptionist’s respectful expression, Luo Xiao understood that Chen Mo must have given the receptionist a heads-up beforehand, otherwise her attitude wouldn't have changed so quickly.

The two followed the receptionist into the elevator.

Luo Xiao watched the receptionist swipe a card on the elevator panel and then directly press the 26th floor.

“Mr. Luo Xiao, Mr. Wang Yang, I can only take you this far. The CEO’s office is over there,” the receptionist quickly said, pointing towards the CEO’s office.

“Thank you!” Luo Xiao replied gratefully, then walked towards the CEO’s office with Wang Bin.

After knocking, they entered the office.

“You’re here, come in and sit,” Chen Mo said, his face lighting up as he saw Luo Xiao and Wang Bin enter the office.

These two were his money trees for the future; he needed to arrange things well for them.

Luo Xiao and Wang Bin were stunned by the office’s decor; it was too luxurious.

The large floor-to-ceiling windows, spacious layout, huge executive desk and chairs… this office was exactly like those seen in TV dramas.

After a while, they collected themselves and followed Chen Mo to the sofa by the coffee table, sitting down.

“Have some tea.” Chen Mo poured a cup of freshly brewed tea for each of them.

“Thank you, CEO Chen,” Luo Xiao quickly took the tea and thanked him, feeling a bit reserved. At this moment, it was difficult for him to treat Chen Mo as just a classmate.

“Don’t be so formal, we’re old classmates!” Chen Mo smiled and sat down beside them, looking at Luo Xiao and Wang Bin with a grin.

“You’ve come at a good time. I’ve already completed all the procedures for the film and television company; I was just waiting for you to arrive.”

“CEO Chen, what kind of film do you want to shoot, and what’s the budget?” Luo Xiao asked, becoming serious as he heard CEO Chen discuss business.

“I don’t know much about films. I’ve brought you here precisely to be in charge of this.”

“If you have any ideas, feel free to suggest them.”

“Currently, the film and television company has no staff. Since you are a director, you certainly understand better than I do what kind of people and equipment are needed to make a film.”

“All these matters will need to be handled by you. I am only responsible for providing the funds.”

Chen Mo spoke calmly. He indeed didn’t know much about the film and television industry.

Watching movies was fine for him, but when it came to making them, he was clueless.

“CEO Chen, isn’t this too much power?” Luo Xiao was startled. He had thought Chen Mo called him over just to be a director and make films, but CEO Chen’s intention seemed to be that he would also manage other affairs of the film and television company.

This power was not just for a director.

“Not at all. Besides, aren’t you my old classmates? I feel at ease entrusting the film and television company to you!”

“Feel free to propose any needs you have. I only have one requirement: the company’s films must be personally directed and shot by you, Luo Xiao.”

Chen Mo said seriously to Luo Xiao.

What he valued was Luo Xiao’s ability to make bad films. As for managing the film and television company, he simply wanted to be a hands-off boss.

Luo Xiao’s management ability, good or bad, didn’t matter; the most important thing was for him to produce bad films.

“Don’t worry, CEO Chen, I, Luo Xiao, came here to make films, and I will do my best.”

“However, if the film and television company has nothing, then the required funds will be much greater. Some filming equipment and instruments are very expensive.”

“But currently, film equipment is mostly rented; very few people buy it.”

“Then there’s also the equipment for post-production editing and such, which also requires a large sum of money.”

Luo Xiao pondered for a moment and briefly discussed the equipment situation.

Chen Mo listened to Luo Xiao’s words, secretly delighted. The more spent, the better.

This way, he could spend more of the system’s funds.

“How about this: you go back and make a price list for renting and purchasing equipment and give it to me.”

“Also, you can list what kind of talent the company needs to recruit, and I’ll have HR handle the recruitment. Of course, if you have candidates in mind, you can also recommend them.”

“Okay, CEO Chen,” Luo Xiao nodded.

“Then let’s settle the matters for now. I’ll take you on a tour of the company first so you can understand its situation. Once you’ve understood, we’ll sign the contract, and then you’ll be a member of Tomorrow Group.”

After confirming the general matters, Chen Mo directly stood up and led the two out of the office. As they passed Shen Rou’s office, he called her over.

“This is Shen Rou, my assistant. If you encounter anything and can’t find me, you can find her to resolve it.”

“These two are Luo Xiao and Wang Bin.”

Chen Mo gave a brief introduction, then continued.

“Have you prepared the contract I asked you to, as well as the elevator cards and work badges?”

“CEO Chen, everything is ready,” Shen Rou quickly replied.

“Good, have the items ready; we’ll need them later.” Chen Mo nodded. Before Luo Xiao and Wang Bin arrived, he had already instructed Shen Rou to prepare all the necessary items for when Luo Xiao and Wang Bin joined the company.

After arranging things, he turned to Luo Xiao and Wang Bin.

“I’ll give you a simple introduction to the company’s layout.”

“This current floor is the 26th floor, which is the top floor. There’s also the 25th floor, which is Tomorrow Group’s main office location, its headquarters, including finance, legal, and so on.”

As he spoke, he had already led the two to the elevator. The three entered the elevator together and went directly to the 24th floor.

The elevator doors opened.

Chen Mo stepped out and began to introduce:

“This entire 24th floor is the entertainment area, with a fitness zone, gaming zone, lounge area, etc. Employees can use their break time to come here to work out, play games, watch movies, and so on.”

Luo Xiao and Wang Bin were stunned by the layout of the 24th floor. This entire 1000-square-meter floor was an entertainment area.

They walked around the entertainment area for a bit.

Their expressions of shock never faded.

The setup of this entertainment area was incredibly complete: fitness equipment, spin bikes, ping-pong tables, billiard tables, a screening room, and various arcade machines. It also had plenty of snacks and drinks, as well as self-service coffee machines.

This… After looking around, the two didn’t know how to describe their feelings.

With all these amenities, one could spend hours here without getting bored.

They left the 24th floor with expressions of continued shock.

The two then visited the 23rd and 22nd floors, home to Wuliao Short Video, and the 21st and 20th floors, where Cangxue Games was located.

They also met and got acquainted with the respective heads of these two companies.

Throughout this tour, their expressions of shock never subsided.

Wang Bin was merely amazed by the sheer size of the office spaces, but Luo Xiao was different. He had been a director and came from a good family.

So, he noticed more things.
