Chapter 30 The system starts to settle, Wei Yan’s little action

Yang Dahai, however, was unaware of his wife's thoughts. Hearing her complaints, he looked innocent and couldn't help but explain.

"I didn't expect it either. General Manager Chen only drank less than one bottle of alcohol and ended up like this."

"You're still explaining? As a boss's dedicated driver, not even knowing your boss's alcohol tolerance—that's your dereliction of duty."

Dong Hong immediately bristled upon hearing Yang Dahai's explanation, glaring fiercely at Yang Dahai.

Seeing this, Yang Dahai chuckled awkwardly.

Years of experience told him that if he dared to talk back now, he would definitely be the one to suffer.

Seeing that Yang Dahai didn't continue to argue, Dong Hong didn't dwell on the matter either and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

"You watch over him for a bit. I'll go make some hangover soup."

………….

Early morning,

Sunlight fell on the bed, scattering speckles of light.

Chen Mo rubbed his throbbing head and slowly opened his eyes.

As memories of last night gradually returned, his face inexplicably flushed with embarrassment.

Damn it,

He had forgotten that he couldn't drink alcohol.

It was all those people's fault for continuously toasting him; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to resist drinking a few cups.

Who was the first one to toast him?

Chen Mo thought back carefully, and gradually, Li Shen's image appeared in his mind.

Was it him?

He had a good impression of Li Shen; he had always been very obedient.

Unlike Wei Yan, that rebellious fellow, who was always thinking of getting orders for the company, making it harder for him to spend money.

Oh, right,

Wei Yan didn't come to the dinner last night. Could it be that he went to cause trouble again?

His heart skipped a beat.

He quickly looked at the system panel in his mind, finding that the system funds were still a few hundred yuan from last night, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

But he was still a bit uneasy.

He picked up his phone and made a call.

"Hello, General Manager Chen, you called me."

Wei Yan's voice came through the phone.

Hearing the call connect, Chen Mo asked,

"I just want to ask, did you not take any orders last night, or today?

"No orders yet, but General Manager Chen, don't worry, I will work hard to run the business and bring more orders to our company."

"Oh, and one more thing…"

Wei Yan was halfway through speaking when he realized the call had already been hung up.

Looking at the disconnected call, he thought for a moment and then put his phone away.

Never mind,

He would report to General Manager Chen in person when he returned to the company. Anyway, the backlog of clothes had already been sold, so there was no need to rush, and the amount of money from selling the clothes these past few days also needed to be tallied and then directly transferred to the company's account.

Upstairs,

Chen Mo hung up the phone, looking displeased.

That rebellious fellow was still thinking about how to get more orders; he was really annoying me.

But thankfully, no new orders had appeared, so it seemed this system settlement should be successful.

Knock, knock, knock…

A knock on the door came.

Chen Mo went to the door and looked out, not seeing anyone, but he already had a guess. He reached out and opened the door.

Indeed, he saw a small figure standing by the door.

"Brother, Mom told me to give you this."

Yang Duoduo said, reaching out and handing the bag in her hand to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo took the bag, reached out and rubbed Yang Duoduo's small head, and said softly,

"Thank you, Yang Duoduo."

"Hehe, then I'm going back, Brother."

Yang Duoduo looked up and giggled, then quickly ran downstairs.

Back in the room,

Chen Mo looked at the steamed buns and stomach-nourishing soup on the table.

He felt somewhat touched in his heart.

Ever since he arranged for Yang Dahai and his wife to work at the company and gave them a good salary,

this family had been expressing their gratitude in their own way.

After quickly finishing breakfast, Yang Dahai drove him to the company.

"Good morning, General Manager Chen."

Shen Rou was wiping the tables and chairs in the office. Seeing Chen Mo walk in, she greeted him.

"Morning!"

Chen Mo nodded and walked directly to his seat.

Looking at the system panel in his mind, he couldn't help but smile.

[Host: Chen Mo]

[System Funds: 385 / 2 million]

[Personal Assets: 1993]

[Settlement Cycle: Two weeks later (Countdown: 3 hours…)]

Only a little over 3 hours left until settlement; he was finally going to become a millionaire.

Chen Mo was very confident this time. After all, Wei Yan hadn't received any orders, so there was no possibility of a customer suddenly making a payment and causing the settlement to fail.

Feeling happy,

He began to open his computer and look for games to play.

However, this time he was much more cautious in his game search. He didn't want to encounter a game like Tianlong again, where he was mercilessly mocked by a rich player.

Just thinking about it made him angry.

When I get rich, I'll definitely go back and get my revenge.

…………….

In the workshop,

Li Shen came to the warehouse and, seeing Wei Yan waiting there, walked over.

"Yan Ge, you were looking for me."

"Yes, the remaining backlog of clothes from last night has all been sold. Now we need to tally how much money was made from the clothes sold these past few days, and after we're done, send it all to General Manager Chen."

"Alright!"

Li Shen nodded and began calculating the amount of money earned from selling the clothes these past few days with Wei Yan in the warehouse.

After a while,

The two looked at the final number on the calculator and exchanged glances.

"74,280 yuan, that's not bad."

Wei Yan said softly. There were over ten thousand pieces of clothes backlog in the warehouse. He sold each piece for 5 to 10 yuan at the night market, so a sales volume of over seventy thousand yuan was already quite good.

More importantly, these backlog clothes were originally returned defective products. If they weren't handled this way, they would probably just sit in the warehouse collecting dust and taking up a lot of space.

"Alright, I'll transfer this money to the company account. You just wait for my good news."

Wei Yan said, getting up and leaving the warehouse, thinking to himself.

General Manager Chen should be very happy to see that these backlog clothes could be sold for this much money.

………..

Watching the countdown decrease bit by bit, Chen Mo happily played computer games, humming a tune.

"On the other side of the mountain, on the other side of the sea, there's a group of Smurfs, they're lively and smart, they're naughty and nimble…"

Shen Rou sat at her desk, occasionally looking up at Chen Mo.

Did General Manager Chen encounter something joyful today? He looks so happy!

And that song is so cheerful; why haven't I heard it before? I'll ask General Manager Chen later. If I get a chance to go back to the orphanage, I can sing it to the children.

Chen Mo played the game while paying attention to the system panel in his mind.

Watching the countdown on it decrease bit by bit, he was getting closer and closer to becoming a millionaire.

Ding dong!

His phone suddenly rang.

Chen Mo subconsciously glanced at it, and his expression instantly froze.
