Chapter 48: You’ve Been Promoted

"Hehe, I accidentally landed another order."

Wei Yan smiled and scratched his head, his expression unexpectedly appearing a bit shy.

"How much is it for?"

Chen Mo's ominous premonition grew even stronger.

"Not much, not much, just a one-million-yuan order."

"How much?"

Chen Mo suspected he had misheard.

"One million. However, they're planning to pay in two installments. Six hundred thousand will be transferred to our company account tomorrow, and the remaining four hundred thousand will be transferred once we've completed half the work."

Seeing Chen Zong's stunned expression, Wei Yan smiled and continued,

"Chen Zong, there's no need to be so surprised. It's mainly because the fabric our Garment factory uses is so much better than other factories, so for the same price, the customer will definitely choose us."

"So, being able to land this big order is actually thanks to you, Chen Zong."

"It's all because of your foresight, Chen Zong. Only good products can have good sales, right?"

"So, it's my fault then."

Chen Mo looked up at Wei Yan and said expressionlessly.

"Exactly. If you hadn't decided to use good fabric, Chen Zong, it wouldn't have been so easy for us to land orders. The fact that a newcomer was able to land an order so quickly is also partly due to this."

Wei Yan said with a look of certainty.

"I've noted this. You can go out now."

Chen Mo rubbed his head vigorously and waved his hand somewhat helplessly.

He just wanted some peace and quiet right now.

So, sales reps finding orders this easily had to do with him, huh?

If he had known, he would have stuck with the crappy fabric from before.

He had been wondering all along; when he took over this Garment factory, there were basically no orders, but ever since he took charge, orders started pouring in.

And that was even with him occasionally obstructing Wei Yan from pursuing business. If he hadn't interfered, there would probably be even more orders.

Today, he finally learned the reason from Wei Yan's own mouth—it actually had to do with him!

But now, it was definitely impossible to switch the fabric back to what it used to be.

It seemed he could only make moves regarding the personnel.

Wei Yan's business capability was too strong; he absolutely could not let him stay in the Business Department. But where would it be reasonable to transfer him?

Right.

Didn't Fang Chang mention this morning that he was short-handed? He could transfer Wei Yan over to help.

Giving him the position of Office Director would be considered a promotion, and if he gave him a raise, surely it wouldn't be judged as a violation.

Sure enough, this idea did not trigger any warnings from the system.

Since the system allowed it, he wouldn't be polite. He could finally get this traitor, Wei Yan, out of the Business Department.

Without Wei Yan in the Business Department, even if the clothing quality was excellent, relying solely on a newcomer meant the number of orders wouldn't be that high.

He would notify Wei Yan at the meeting tomorrow.

For now, he should think about how to spend the money hitting the account tomorrow.

Wei Yan's 600,000-yuan order, plus the newcomer's 100,000, made a total of 700,000.

Cangxue Games had over thirty workstations. Replacing them all with new chairs would require a budget of about 300,000.

That would leave 400,000.

Speaking of fabric, there wasn't much left in stock, so he could buy another batch.

Let's buy 300,000 worth.

With the remaining 100,000, he could organize a company team-building event to let the people from the game company and the Garment factory get to know each other.

That way, about 700,000 would be spent.

Chen Mo calculated that the 700,000 about to arrive already had a destination.

It was a good thing the company had plenty of places to spend money, otherwise, it would have been really hard to spend the suddenly extra cash.

What made Chen Mo breathe an even bigger sigh of relief was that this order didn't suddenly appear during the system settlement. This traitor Wei Yan had finally done something decent.

…

The next day,

Outside the workshop,

Chen Mo watched the employees running with great interest, especially looking at the panting figures of Wei Yan and Li Shen, and he felt even happier.

It was a pity,

Once Wei Yan was transferred to Cangxue Games, he wouldn't have the chance to watch him run anymore.

But being able to get him out of the Business Department, not running was fine.

After all, even after running until he was that exhausted every day, he still managed to land him a one-million-yuan order. So, he had to get him moved elsewhere quickly; earning less money from him was better than anything.

Soon,

The employees finished running and returned to the workshop, starting to prepare for the day's work.

"Wei Yan, come to the office in a bit."

Chen Mo looked at Wei Yan, who had finished running, and called out to him.

"Alright, Chen Zong."

Wei Yan, supporting his knees with one hand, hurriedly responded upon hearing Chen Zong's call.

In the office,

Chen Mo didn't wait long before Wei Yan arrived.

Looking at his wet hair, he must have just taken a shower.

"Chen Zong, is there something you need?"

Wei Yan looked at Chen Mo and asked, puzzled.

"Sit down first, let's talk slowly."

Chen Mo revealed a kind smile and pointed to the chairs in front of his desk.

Once Wei Yan sat down, he continued,

"Wei Yan, you've been doing business at the company for a long time. I wonder if you have any thoughts about moving up?"

"Chen Zong, I'm just a sales rep, how can I move up? It's nothing more than working harder and striving to pull in more orders for the company. If the company's order volume increases, my commission goes up too."

Wei Yan gave a bitter smile. He hadn't had much schooling since he was a child and had entered society to struggle early on.

He couldn't do technical work at all, so he just entered sales because the threshold was very low.

From starting with absolutely no orders to now having accumulated many connections and clients.

So, it wasn't that he didn't want to move up, but other than the path of sales, he simply didn't know what else to do.

"That's not necessarily true. You should know that I acquired a game company a while ago, and they are short-handed there. I'm planning to transfer you over to be the Office Director. What do you think?"

"And don't worry, the salary and benefits will definitely be higher than what you earn doing sales now, and you won't have to run around meeting clients every day either."

Chen Mo didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"Chen Zong, I haven't had many years of schooling. If you ask me to be the Office Director directly, I don't even know what I'm supposed to do!"

Wei Yan revealed a bitter smile.

Hearing this, Chen Mo was secretly delighted. You don't know what to do? If you knew how to do everything, I wouldn't dare send you there.

Thinking this, he verbally persuaded him instead,

"That's easy to handle. If you don't know, you can learn. The internet is so advanced now; you can watch online courses or something. You can work hard while improving yourself at the same time."

"Besides, they are in urgent need of helpers there. I don't feel at ease hiring new people. I've thought about it for a long time, and you are the only one I trust the most, so I have no choice but to ask you to go over and help."

Listening to Chen Zong's words, Wei Yan's eyes gradually became a bit moist. It was the first time he had been trusted so much, and the first time he felt valued.
