Chapter 336: Living Privileges

Late May, Mingri Group, Presidents Office.

Chen Mo leaned back in his chair, his consciousness sinking into his mind as he looked at the System panel within his thoughts.

He smiled in relaxation.

Over the past month, there hadn't been any major surprises, and everything was basically within his control.

Just two days ago, expenses like employee salaries, taxes, and other payable costs had all been paid out.

The employee dinner party had also successfully consumed a portion of the System Funds.

Under his planned spending, the System Funds had finally dropped below 15 million.

Now, the System Funds stood at 9.3 million.

At this moment, only a few minutes remained until the settlement time for the special mission.

Watching the time tick away, Chen Mo became increasingly relaxed, and by the time the countdown ended, the last shred of worry he had was completely gone.

[ Special mission settlement in progress. Detected remaining System Funds of the host, which meet the settlement criteria. ]

[ Special mission completed. ]

[ Distributing mission rewards… ]

Listening to the voice of the System in his head, Chen Mo curiously looked at the rewards issued by the System.

However, upon seeing those rewards, he couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

This time, the rewards still didn't include tens of millions in cash, nor did they include luxury mansions or luxury cars.

The rewards were the same as last time; they merely unlocked some privileges.

However, there was a slight difference; it also rewarded him with one lucky draw.

[ Charitable Funds Privilege Unlocked ]

1. The usable charitable funds have increased from the original 20% of the initial capital to 50% of the initial capital.

2. Settlement fund changes: Starting from today, when the System settles, the remaining System Funds will no longer be cleared to zero but will instead be fully deposited into the charitable funds account.

Looking at the unlocked charitable funds privilege, Chen Mo took out a calculator and did a quick calculation. This time, the initial System Funds were 30 million; 20% was 6 million. But now that it had become 50%, that meant 15 million.

In other words, for this settlement cycle, he could still transfer 9 million from the System Funds into the foundation's account.

Being able to have an extra 9 million in expenses for nothing was actually pretty good.

As for the second point, that was even simpler. Previously, during every settlement, the remaining System Funds were completely cleared to zero. But this time, they wouldn't be cleared; instead, they would all be injected into the foundation's account.

This unlocked privilege didn't offer him any substantive help, but in the future, the funds in the foundation's account would likely increase more and more as the number of settlements grew.

Once the charitable funds increased to a certain level, he wouldn't have to be so constrained when doing charity work.

Chen Mo thought to himself, then looked at the second unlocked privilege.

[ Living Privilege Unlocked ]

Starting from today, expenses required for the host's travel or activities can be deducted from the System Funds.

For example: suits and ties needed for business activities, watches that represent the boss's status, and the company can add a dedicated boss's car…

However, every item has a certain quota that cannot be exceeded.

Looking at the unlocked Living Privilege, Chen Mo felt a bit better; this privilege was actually quite nice for him.

Although he didn't usually wear things like suits, there was no problem with going to buy them, and it could also consume System Funds.

However, what he found most satisfying was that he could add a dedicated boss's car. Although he wasn't sure what the quota given by the System for this boss's car was, it would definitely be higher than the company car he was currently using.

After all, a dedicated boss's car must be different from a normal company car; otherwise, why would it be called a dedicated boss's car?

And according to the previous privilege unlock, although this dedicated boss's car belonged to the company, it was actually no different from being his own.

Apart from not being able to sell it at will, he could use it as he pleased.

"Very good," Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction. Since the System had given this privilege, he would definitely have to spend a wave.

After reviewing both unlocked privileges, there was only 1 lucky draw opportunity left.

A lucky draw? Chen Mo was still immersed in his mind, looking at the lucky draw button on the System panel, feeling somewhat puzzled.

The two previous special missions he completed didn't have this lucky draw reward.

He wondered what kind of reward this lucky draw would have. Chen Mo curiously pressed the lucky draw button.

[ Congratulations to the host, you have obtained a song from your past life. Please check your rewards. ]

A song from his past life! Listening to the System's voice, Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then looked speechless.

What use did he have for this song? He had previously tested the System, and rewarded songs were also company assets.

He didn't expect that this time, it would reward him with another song.

"Trashy lucky draw," Chen Mo couldn't help but complain. He had thought the lucky draw would yield something good.

[ Reminder to the host: after two privilege unlocks, any songs or works from your past life that you obtain will now have all profits go to you personally as long as they are not associated with your companies during the operation process. ]

Hearing the System's voice, Chen Mo's complaining words instantly stopped.

This was the first time he felt that the System's voice was actually so pleasant!

As long as there was no connection to the companies under his name during the operation process, the profits obtained would belong to him personally.

Isn't this easy to handle? He just needed to find a singer, authorize them to use the song, let them publish it, and he could earn commissions from behind the scenes.

Wouldn't that be making money while lying down?

Of course, he could also choose to sing it himself; after all, once he obtained the song, he would have complete mastery over it.

But after a simple thought, he directly abandoned the idea of singing it himself.

After all, this song was very popular. If he were to sing it, he would definitely make money, but he would face a problem: if the song became a hit, he would become famous.

It wasn't that he was afraid of fame; he was afraid of the celebrity effect that would follow.

If his song became a hit and attracted a large group of fans, and then those fans found out about his businesses, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The fan effect was terrifying.

And besides the fan effect, if he became famous, those businesses he wanted to keep low-profile wouldn't be able to stay hidden either.

The most typical examples were Boring Short Videos and Changfeng Clothing… these businesses absolutely could not be exposed to the public!

Once exposed, it would definitely lead to big trouble!

Finally, after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to authorize other singers to sing the song.

Of course, when authorizing, he would use electronic contracts, not show his face, and try his best not to expose himself.

Only by hiding himself as much as possible could he ensure the stable development of those money-losing businesses under his name.
