Chapter 37: Such a Familiar Scene

Chen Mo frowned upon hearing this; his intention was to keep the staffing unchanged.

After all, the current staffing level kept the company in a loss-making state. If he made any personnel changes and the company turned from a loss to a profit, wouldn't that be a huge loss for him?

It was just that the other party wanting to lower the price made things a bit difficult for him.

Is it easy to spend money?

Meng Lei had been watching Chen Mo's expression the whole time. Seeing Chen Mo frown, his heart sank to the bottom.

"Is even lowering the price not enough?"

"Well, General Manager Meng!" Chen Mo began, his tone earnest.

Hearing Chen Mo speak, Meng Lei forced a bitter smile.

Usually, after such words, it was basically a rejection script.

In the end, he hadn't managed to save those employees!

Chen Mo, however, didn't notice Meng Lei's expression and continued.

"For a person, the most important thing is credibility. I already said I would acquire it at the quoted price. If I change it, wouldn't I become a person who goes back on his word?"

"So, the acquisition price must remain at 1.5 million, it cannot be changed."

"As for the employees, it's too much trouble for me to hire new ones right now, so let's just keep all the employees and keep their positions unchanged."

"General Manager Chen, are you prepared to keep… all the employees?"

Meng Lei was so excited that he could barely speak clearly. He hadn't expected that after Chen Mo said so much, the final conclusion would actually be to keep all the employees.

"That's right." Chen Mo nodded, looking at Meng Lei with confusion.

He didn't understand why the other party was so excited just because he kept the employees.

Having received confirmation from Chen Mo, Meng Lei hurriedly stood up and walked to Chen Mo, bowing deeply.

"General Manager Chen, thank you. I thank you on behalf of all the employees at Cangxue Games."

Seeing this, Chen Mo quickly helped Meng Lei up.

Looking at his age, this Meng Lei must be over 40. Having him bow to him, wouldn't that shorten his life?

After the expressions of gratitude, Tang Qiu took out the documents and spoke at the right moment.

"The two of you, if the terms have been negotiated and there are no issues, let's sign the contract."

After speaking, she handed the prepared contracts to both of them.

Chen Mo took the contract, didn't look at it in detail, and signed it directly.

Meng Lei, on the other hand, carefully confirmed everything, and seeing no issues, also signed the contract.

With the contract signed, Cangxue Games now belonged to Chen Mo.

"General Manager Chen, let me take you to meet the company's employees; it can be considered a formal handover."

Meng Lei closed the contract, looking relieved. Now that the company and employee issues had been resolved, he could leave with peace of mind after completing the handover.

"Good!" Chen Mo nodded.

Employee office area.

"Everyone, please stop what you are doing for a moment; I have an announcement to make."

Meng Lei walked into the office area, clapped his hands, and shouted loudly.

All the employees heard the call and looked up in unison.

"Everyone knows the problems the company has encountered. I am very grateful that you have all persisted until now after the company ran into trouble."

"However, after today, I will no longer be able to lead everyone. From now on, the company will be taken over by General Manager Chen Mo, who is beside me."

As Meng Lei spoke, he stretched out his palm to point at Chen Mo beside him.

Upon hearing this, all the employees looked at Chen Mo beside Meng Lei, their eyes full of curiosity.

"Hello everyone, I am Chen Mo. You don't need to worry too much; just keep working the way you did before."

Chen Mo, sensing the gaze of the many employees, waved his hand in greeting.

Meng Lei stood quietly to the side, waiting for Chen Mo to continue.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no follow-up.

Was that all he was going to say? Normally, shouldn't he say a few more things, like encouraging words about everyone working hard and striving together?

This General Manager Chen's style of doing things was truly unique!

He sighed inwardly, then stepped forward to continue.

"Everyone, let's give a round of applause."

Warm applause rang out.

When the applause faded, he continued.

"Later, everyone will receive a compensation payment. Please come to my office one by one to collect it later."

Although Chen Mo had kept all the employees, these employees had followed him for so many years, and he felt he still needed to show a gesture of appreciation.

Back in the office.

Chen Mo directly transferred the 1.5 million acquisition payment.

"Many thanks, General Manager Chen." Looking at the transfer information, Meng Lei thanked him again.

At the same time, he took a thick file and handed it over.

"This contains the information for all the company's employees—what positions they hold and their current salaries are all recorded here."

Chen Mo took the documents and then handed them to Shen Rou, who was beside him.

"General Manager Meng, you will be distributing compensation to the employees in the office in a while. Can I take this opportunity to handle some other matters?"

"Does General Manager Chen have any important arrangements?" Meng Lei looked at Chen Mo with confusion.

"Oh, there are no special arrangements; I just happened to take the opportunity to pay the employees." Chen Mo replied with a smile.

When he heard that Meng Lei was going to distribute compensation, he had thought of the issue of payroll.

The tradition of paying wages in advance from the Garment factory naturally could not be broken here.

"Payroll? General Manager Chen, are you talking about paying this month's wages? No need, General Manager Chen. When I distribute the compensation later, I will pay the employees' wages for this month at the same time."

Hearing this, Meng Lei thought Chen Mo was talking about paying the wages for this month, which he hadn't distributed yet.

"Oh, not this month's wages, but the next month's wages." Chen Mo patiently explained.

Hearing this, Meng Lei was dumbfounded.

"But the next month hasn't even started yet."

"Pay first, then work."

"This…" Meng Lei was speechless for a moment. Paying employees in advance—was this General Manager Chen not afraid that the employees would just run away after receiving their wages?

Shen Rou stood behind, watching Meng Lei's expression, and smiled secretly.

She was already accustomed to General Manager Chen's behavior.

Tang Qiu, on the other hand, had a strange look on her face; she always felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.

That's right, a similar scene had occurred when they acquired the Garment factory.

After a while, a long table had been added to the office.

Chen Mo sat in the middle, drinking tea leisurely.

Shen Rou and Tang Qiu were each holding employee documents and a calculator.

Looking at the calculator in her hand, Tang Qiu thought, this isn't just familiar; it's clearly a repeat performance.

Knock, knock! A knock on the door sounded.

A man wearing a white shirt walked in slowly; judging by his appearance, he should be in his 30s.

Fang Chang looked around the office, his gaze pausing on Chen Mo and the others, and then walked to Meng Lei's desk.

Looking at Meng Lei, who had become his former boss, he said with a touch of sadness, "General Manager Meng."

"Hmm, the new boss is a good person; work hard here." Meng Lei looked at Fang Chang and urged him.

This Fang Chang was the company's planner and had good ability. When "Tianlong" added the nobility system in the past, this Fang Chang had strongly opposed it.

Unfortunately, he hadn't listened to the advice at the time.

After sighing slightly, he distributed the compensation.

Fang Chang looked at the compensation amount that had arrived in his account, thanked him, and prepared to turn and leave.

But before he reached the door, he heard a voice calling him from the side.

Turning his head, he saw the company's new boss.

Fang Chang walked over anxiously, looking at the young new boss, and spoke nervously.

"General Manager Chen, are you looking for me?"
