Chapter 29 How do I drink this wine?

"Oh, it's fine if you don't go because of something important."

Chen Mo looked up at Shen Rou and said indifferently.

Anyway, the money had already been spent, so what did it matter whether he went or not?

After thinking for a moment, he spoke again.

"By the way, notify the other employees that attendance at tonight's gathering is not mandatory; it's completely voluntary."

"Understood, General Manager Chen."

Shen Rou nodded quickly, and the worry in her heart instantly dissipated.

………….

"Li Shen, General Manager Chen is organizing a dinner tonight, so you don't have to go to the night market with me. There aren't many clothes left anyway, I can handle it myself tonight."

Wei Yan found Li Shen and expressed his thoughts.

Although General Manager Chen stated that attendance at the dinner was voluntary, it was always better if more people went.

Li Shen nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"Alright, then you'll have to run around a bit more on your own."

"Don't worry, those few clothes will definitely be cleared out tonight. Tomorrow, I'll transfer the money we spent on clothes these past few days to General Manager Chen at the company."

"General Manager Chen should be very pleased. I'll also put in a good word for you since this sales method was your idea."

Wei Yan patted Li Shen's shoulder. He was very grateful that Li Shen had accompanied him to the night market to sell clothes these past few days.

Now that it was time to claim credit, he wouldn't do something as ungrateful as abandoning a friend after they'd served their purpose.

"Yan Ge, General Manager Chen is so good to his employees. It's nothing for me to help out a little within my capabilities."

Li Shen shook his head.

"How can that be? How could I forget you for such a good thing? Your Yan Ge is not an ungrateful person."

"Alright, it's settled then."

Wei Yan didn't give Li Shen a chance to refute, turning and entering the warehouse to move the last two bundles of clothes into the car.

…………..

7:30 PM.

Xingyu Restaurant.

Several employees looked at the magnificent decor outside the restaurant and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Wow, this restaurant is impressive! Looking at this decor, the prices must be high."

"Xingyu Restaurant is already one of the top restaurants in Jiang City. The chefs inside are all star-rated chefs in the industry, so the prices naturally won't be low, roughly 500 to 800 yuan per person."

Wang Maonian looked at the Xingyu Restaurant before him and sighed with emotion.

As a star-rated chef himself, others had become chefs in luxury restaurants, while he had entered a company cafeteria.

If his old friends knew about this, they would probably mock him.

But there was nothing he could do; General Manager Chen simply offered too much.

"500 to 800? Then for all of us combined, it must be over twenty thousand yuan."

"General Manager Chen is truly generous."

The employees couldn't help but exclaim upon hearing the prices.

"Don't all crowd at the entrance, let's go in."

Li Shen glanced at the crowd gathered at the restaurant's entrance, said a word, and then led the way into the restaurant.

"Hello, welcome! Do you have a reservation?"

Walking into the restaurant, a waitress quickly approached, smiling.

"Yes, we do."

Li Shen nodded and quickly relayed the information General Manager Chen had provided.

"Alright, please follow me."

The waitress's attitude became even more amiable upon hearing this, and she enthusiastically led the way.

The restaurant manager had specifically instructed her that afternoon, so she had to take it seriously.

"As expected of a large restaurant, this service attitude is something smaller restaurants can't compare to."

"If it weren't for General Manager Chen, I probably wouldn't come to this kind of restaurant in my entire life."

Several employees following behind quietly discussed while observing the restaurant's interior.

"Please enter."

The waitress led everyone to a private room, opened the door, and said respectfully.

"Everyone's here! Please sit wherever you like. Tonight's preparations were a bit rushed; next time, I'll prepare something even better."

Chen Mo looked at the approaching company employees and greeted them with a smile.

While chatting with the restaurant manager earlier, he had looked at the restaurant's menu and realized that with this restaurant's pricing standards, he could spend even more money.

It seemed that company team building could become a stable expenditure channel in the future.

However, this time he had already spent the system funds, so it would have to wait until next time.

"Thank you, General Manager Chen."

Everyone looked at Chen Mo in the private room and shouted in unison.

"Don't be so polite, everyone, please take your seats."

Chen Mo waved his hand, pointing to the dining table.

Everyone took their seats one by one, and the waitstaff began pushing trolleys into the room.

Wang Maonian looked at the dishes on the table and fell silent.

With his many years of chef experience, just looking at the high-end dishes on the top of the trolley, such as Australian lobster, the per capita consumption for this dinner had reached at least 1000 yuan or more.

He hadn't expected that General Manager Chen would be so extravagant for a mere employee dinner.

Time gradually passed, and as a few drinks went down, the initial stiffness in the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Li Shen stood at the table, shouting loudly.

"What are we?"

"Brothers!"

All the employees raised their glasses and shouted in unison.

Then Li Shen spoke again.

"How do we drink this wine?"

"Bottoms up!"

Everyone spoke in unison again, then emptied the wine in their glasses.

Chen Mo watched this scene quietly, smiling slightly.

He began to calculate in his mind: beer probably wasn't worth much, next time he'd switch to red wine. Given these people's drinking capacity, it would definitely be another huge expense.

While he was thinking, Li Shen came over with a glass of wine.

"General Manager Chen, I'd like to toast you. Since you took over the company, everyone in the workshop has emerged from their muddled state and now has expectations for the future."

"Thank you, General Manager Chen."

Saying that, without waiting for Chen Mo's response, he downed the wine in his hand.

Chen Mo watched all of this somewhat awkwardly, feeling a little guilty.

He hadn't considered any of this when he did those things; he simply wanted to spend the system funds.

After Li Shen came up to toast, some bolder employees also came over with drinks.

Late at night,

Chen Mo finally returned upstairs with Yang Dahai's support.

Due to the lively atmosphere of the dinner, he had also had a few drinks under the toasts of many employees.

But he had completely forgotten his alcohol tolerance, and after a few drinks, he was already starting to feel hazy.

Helplessly,

He could only be brought back by Yang Dahai first.

"What happened to you? How could you let Little Chen drink so much?"

Dong Hong looked at Chen Mo lying on the bed and couldn't help but complain.

Through their interactions these past few days, their family had become very familiar with Chen Mo, and Chen Mo had never put on airs as a boss, always treating them as elders.

This made Dong Hong very grateful and also very confident in Chen Mo's character, so a hint of fantasy unconsciously arose in her heart.

Her eldest daughter was currently in her first year of university and was only a few years younger than Chen Mo.

When her daughter was on holiday, she could ask her to come home and meet Chen Mo, get to know him.

Such an excellent young man was rare. If her daughter were with him, it would be a blessing.

Dong Hong thought to herself, looking at Chen Mo lying on the bed, feeling increasingly satisfied.
