Chapter 360 Ask Wei Yan for Advice

The elevator descended slowly.

Soon, Li Shen and Wu Yu from Wuliao Short Video also walked in, greeting each other.

Several company managers then went to Tomorrow Cafeteria together.

Upon arriving at the cafeteria, the group found an empty table and sat down.

Wei Yan placed his tray down and looked up at Song Xia.

"I wonder what President Song wants to consult me about."

Hearing this, Song Xia organized her thoughts slightly and recounted the entire story.

Wei Yan listened to Song Xia's narration and soon started to laugh.

At the same time, Fang Chang, Wu Yu, Li Shen, and others also began to laugh.

Song Xia looked at Wei Yan and Li Shen, all laughing, and was completely bewildered.

She didn't know what they were laughing about.

Seeing Song Xia's confused expression, Wei Yan stopped smiling and slowly spoke.

"Song Xia probably doesn't come to the group often and has less contact with Chen Mo."

"Chen Mo's behavior is actually very obvious; he's just afraid you'll become arrogant and complacent."

"Afraid we'll become arrogant and complacent?"

Song Xia and Su Dan exchanged glances, not quite understanding what he meant.

Seeing their reaction, Wei Yan continued.

"It's obvious that you've changed the situation for Nanhe Coffee. Chen Mo is worried that showing a happy expression would make you arrogant and complacent, leading you to stop working hard in the future."

"And when Nanhe Coffee was continuously losing money before, why was Chen Mo always so kind? That was because he didn't want to put pressure on you and make you anxious."

"Among those times, Chen Mo was more anxious than any of you when he saw Nanhe Coffee continuously losing money."

"But to prevent you from feeling pressured, he chose to bear it alone. That is Chen Mo's greatness."

"Not being arrogant in victory and not being discouraged in defeat, this is also the message Chen Mo wants to convey to us."

Ah!

Song Xia's small mouth parted. She hadn't expected Chen Mo's coldness today to mean this.

She turned to look at Li Shen and the others, seeing them all nodding in agreement.

Song Xia no longer had any doubts in her heart. These people were all personally promoted by Chen Mo, so there was definitely no problem with their understanding of Chen Mo's intentions.

It turned out Chen Mo was afraid they would become arrogant!

Knowing this, Song Xia also breathed a sigh of relief.

Since that was the case, she had nothing to worry about. She just needed to work hard and strive to make Nanhe Coffee profitable.

"By the way, General Manager Wei, there's one more thing I'd like to discuss with you."

Song Xia's gaze fell on Wei Yan and the others as she continued.

"Chen Mo wants to form a team to bring some impoverished elderly people investigated by the foundation to Jiangcheng."

"The team members will need to be selected from employees of various companies, but I haven't yet determined the exact number of people needed."

Song Xia simply recounted the entire story.

"Is that so, President Song? You should first determine the number of people, and then we'll select them based on the work situation of each company and department."

Wei Yan pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"Okay, that's settled then."

Song Xia nodded.

…………

In the President's Office,

Chen Mo ate the meal Shen Rou had brought up for him, thinking about what would happen after those elderly people arrived.

The Senior Dance Troupe still had certain requirements for the physical fitness of the elderly.

It was impossible for all the elderly who came to join the Senior Dance Troupe.

So, how should those who couldn't join the Senior Dance Troupe be arranged?

Chen Mo pondered for a moment and finally decided on a destination.

That would be Corner Pet Park, where they could feed the cats and dogs in the park and clean up the park's hygiene.

These tasks were all manageable for those elderly people.

However, most of the elderly people coming this time were capable of movement.

In the future, there would also be some elderly people who had no mobility, or had limited mobility but were too frail to work. These elderly people would not be able to join the workforce.

They could only be supported with the help of charitable funds.

Due to the completion of a special task, the charitable funds had changed once again.

Currently, the charitable funds on the system panel were over 16 million.

Previously, he hadn't thought about how to utilize these charitable funds, but now, they could be put to use.

That would be for the elderly apartment.

As more and more impoverished elderly people were investigated by the outside investigation team, it was time to build this elderly apartment.

Otherwise, when those elderly people arrived, it would be easy to arrange for a small number, but impossible to arrange for a large number.

However, this elderly apartment also needed to be divided into two types.

One type would be an elderly apartment that could provide labor value to the company. This apartment would house elderly people who worked for the company.

This should not be called an elderly apartment, but rather an elderly employee dormitory.

Since it was an employee dormitory, there was no need to use charitable funds for its construction; it could be built entirely with system funds.

And there were certainly many impoverished elderly people across the country.

So the construction of this elderly employee dormitory certainly couldn't be too small.

This could perfectly consume a large sum of system funds.

Then there would be the true elderly apartment. This apartment would house elderly people who had no mobility or were unable to work.

These people could not be considered company employees, so they could only be built with charitable funds.

As for the location of the elderly apartment's construction,

Chen Mo thought for a moment and finally decided on the Corner Pet Park area.

That area was relatively remote, mostly villages, so finding an empty plot of land to build an elderly apartment would definitely not be a problem.

However, the land issue also needed to be resolved.

The problem was also very simple; wasn't it just spending money? A problem that could be solved with money was not a problem.

After confirming the arrangements for those charitable elderly people, Chen Mo also finished his lunch.

He immediately took out his phone, found Pang Tao's number, and dialed it.

Since he chose to build the apartment at Pang Tao's location, the matter of the apartment could be handed over to them.

……..

At Corner Pet Park,

Pang Tao and Xu Zhengming looked at the half-built Cat Castle in front of them, both smiling.

"Brother Xu, this Cat Castle will be completed in about another month!"

"Roughly. After this Cat Castle is completed, the landscaping of the Pet Park will take about another month."

"It seems the official opening of the Pet Park in August probably won't happen!"

Pang Tao couldn't help but sigh. In the original plan, the Pet Park could open around August.

However, due to the complexity of the Cat Castle's construction and some interior decorations, the construction period was extended by at least half.

But there was no other way.

To make Cat Castle a major feature of Corner Pet Park, they couldn't ignore its construction to speed up the process; that would be putting the cart before the horse.

"Alas!"

Xu Zhengming also sighed.

"Have you communicated with the Clothing Factory?"

"It's already been communicated. They said it's fine; extending the construction period by a month allows them to develop more pet clothing during that time."

Pang Tao slowly spoke.

Pet clothing was a major collaboration between Corner Pet Park and the Clothing Factory. If handled properly, both sides would benefit.

The Clothing Factory could expand the pet clothing market.

And Corner Pet Park could fully utilize the Pet Fashion Show to attract tourists.
