Chapter 44 Another Pay Raise

"They replied saying the proposal has been accepted, and the renovation fee will be transferred to the company account in full later. They want us to arrange for workers to start the renovation as soon as possible."

Wang Yang said quickly, feeling a wave of relief.

"Accepted."

Chen Jun looked stunned, unable to believe it, and leaned over to look at the computer screen.

After seeing the content of the email, he felt completely thrown off.

He always had the feeling that his years of experience were completely useless when it came to Wang Yang.

However, he was happy for Wang Yang that he managed to land this order. After all, for a newcomer to secure such a big order was already quite an impressive feat.

With a renovation fee of 930,000, he would be getting a lot just from the commission.

"Not bad, kid. You've got to treat your big brother to a meal this month!"

Chen Jun patted Wang Yang on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Brother Jun. Even if you didn't ask, I was already planning to treat you to a meal."

Wang Yang chuckled.

And he was telling the truth; he had long thought about treating Chen Jun to a meal, as Chen Jun had helped him a lot since he joined the company.

"Why are you so happy just because it's almost time to get off work?"

A slightly stern voice suddenly came from the doorway.

"Good afternoon, Supervisor!"

The two looked over upon hearing the voice and saw Supervisor Qi Bu, so they quickly greeted him.

"Hmm."

Supervisor Qi Bu looked at them, then fixed his gaze entirely on Wang Yang.

"Xiao Yang, is the renovation plan for the Garment factory dormitory ready? This needs to be done as soon as possible. If it drags on, who knows what might happen? This is quite a big order, and if you can land it, you'll earn a nice commission."

"Supervisor Qi Bu, the renovation proposal has already been finalized over there, and they will transfer the renovation budget to the company account shortly."

Wang Yang said after hearing Supervisor Qi Bu's instructions.

He suddenly remembered that when he sent the proposal to the Garment factory this morning, he hadn't notified Supervisor Qi Bu.

As a result, the other party still thought his proposal wasn't finished yet.

Supervisor Qi Bu frowned upon hearing this. According to standard company procedures, renovation proposals should be submitted to him for review before being sent out.

However, considering Wang Yang was still a newcomer and not very familiar with this yet, he didn't say much and just gave a reminder.

"It's finalized? That's good. But next time, remember to notify me in advance for things like this."

"I understand, Supervisor Qi Bu."

Wang Yang obediently replied. This was indeed his oversight.

Seeing Wang Yang's good attitude, Supervisor Qi Bu nodded in satisfaction.

"By the way, what is the budget for that plan?"

This concerned the company's performance and was linked to his monthly bonus, so of course, he had to be concerned.

"Oh! It's 930,000."

"How much?"

"930,000."

"If I remember correctly, isn't it for renovating employee dormitories?"

Supervisor Qi Bu asked, feeling a bit unsure. Would a renovation for employee dormitories have such a high budget? This didn't seem right!

"Yes, it is just for employee dormitories."

Wang Yang nodded.

Seeing Supervisor Qi Bu's shocked expression, Chen Jun chuckled inwardly. It turned out he wasn't the only one who thought it was abnormal.

He felt much better instantly, so he stepped forward and explained why Wang Yang's budget was so high.

"You mean to say that all the materials for this employee dormitory are from big brands? If that's the case, how could they possibly agree to it?"

Supervisor Qi Bu was somewhat incredulous. He had been in the renovation business for many years and had encountered many people wanting to renovate employee dormitories, but all those bosses were looking for cheap options. If they could save two pennies, they would never spend just one.

Their basic requirement for dormitories was just that they were livable; quality and brand were completely unimportant.

And don't even think about private bathrooms or air conditioning.

"All of this was requested personally by the boss over there."

Wang Yang affirmed.

"This is the first time I've seen such a generous boss. Alright, I know about this now. With a 930,000 budget, plus the previous 400,000+ renovation, you've basically secured this quarter's bonus with your performance."

"I will apply for it for you later. Keep up the good work."

Supervisor Qi Bu looked at Wang Yang, his face full of satisfaction.

Normally, an excellent renovation designer would have a quarterly performance of around one million or so.

Yet with just two orders, Wang Yang had directly boosted his performance to over 1.3 million. Unless some designer suddenly landed an exceptionally large order, he was basically the sales champion for this quarter.

For a newcomer to directly take the quarterly sales championship—no one would probably believe it if they heard it.

Of course, he didn't mind this phenomenon at all. After all, his salary was linked to the company's overall performance. With Wang Yang's two orders supporting this quarter, it was enough for him to rank among the top in several other branches.

If the other few designers worked hard, perhaps his branch could even win the quarterly sales championship.

"I will, Supervisor Qi Bu."

Wang Yang puffed out his chest and nodded.

Several days later.

"General Manager Chen, was there a mistake in my salary? Why is it 2,000 more?"

Shen Rou looked at her bank transfer record and asked, confused.

Her salary had been raised to 10,000. Logically, after deducting taxes and insurance, it shouldn't be over 10,000.

She had even calculated it specifically; after deducting insurance and taxes, her salary was exactly 2,000 more.

She had just called the company's finance department to ask if her salary had been paid incorrectly, but it turned out that was exactly how much the boss had put on the payslip.

But she had also reviewed the payslip, and it was definitely 10,000, no mistake there.

Chen Mo looked up at Shen Rou, who had come to ask, and realized what happened.

"Oh, that extra 2,000 was something I changed temporarily. It's your bonus for this month. I didn't tell you and just sent it directly to finance."

"A bonus? But I haven't done anything special?"

"But you haven't done anything wrong either, have you? If there are no errors in your work, shouldn't you be rewarded?"

"Besides, you aren't the only one who got a bonus; quite a few others did too. You don't need to be surprised."

Chen Mo asked in return. He certainly wouldn't say that there was still over 20,000 in System Funds, and after thinking about it, he just spent it all as bonuses.

Looking at the System Funds which only had a few dozen left, he felt very relieved.

Spending money this time was really smooth; he had used up the System Funds early on.

At this moment, there were ten days left until the system settlement. As long as he kept this up, this time the 4 million in System Funds would certainly be fully converted into personal assets.

Of course, he still had to keep an eye on those sneaky guys.

After Shen Rou left, Chen Mo leaned back comfortably in his gaming chair.

After the System Funds were spent, he suddenly had nothing to do, but he thought of the game "Tianlong" he had played a while ago.

He had acquired the company that made the game, so asking Fang Chang for an internal account for this game wouldn't be a problem at all.

Thinking about the scene where he was insta-killed by that rich player last time, the flames of revenge began to burn fiercely in his heart.

He refused to believe that with an internal account for the game, he still wouldn't be able to win.
