Chapter 56: When I Grow Up, I Also Want to Work at Brother Chen’s Company

"Sister Shen!"

"Sister Shen!"

"…"

A group of children ran over while calling out.

They soon rushed to the main gate and surrounded Shen Rou.

"Sister Shen, you haven't come to see us for a long time."

"Sister Shen, I missed you so much!"

"…"

"Sister has been quite busy lately. Look at what Sister bought for you all today."

Looking at the children surrounding her, Shen Rou led them gently to the mountain of gifts.

"Wow! So many gifts!"

"Sister Shen, did you buy all of these for us?"

"…"

The group of children gathered around the mountain of gifts, looking left and right, their little eyes filled with excitement.

However, even in their excitement, none of the children took it upon themselves to pick up the gifts.

"Xiao Rou, you could have just come back to visit. Why buy so many things? It's such a waste of money!"

Suddenly, an old woman walked over, looking at Shen Rou with a reproachful expression.

"Grandma Wu, it's been a while since I last came to see them. Besides, these are just little things; they didn't cost much."

Seeing the old woman walk out, Shen Rou hurriedly ran over, hugged her arm, and said affectionately.

"You!"

The old woman sighed helplessly.

"You little rascals, stop crowding around and go help carry the things inside."

"Oh, time to move the gifts!"

"I want to carry this biggest one!"

"I can carry three at once!"

Upon hearing the old woman's words, the group of children scrambled to carry the gifts inside.

Chen Mo wanted to go up and help, but he couldn't even get a hand in.

"Xiao Rou, aren't you going to introduce this person?"

Once the children entered the orphanage, the old woman's gaze fell on Chen Mo, looking him up and down.

"Grandma Wu, this is Chen Mo, he is also my boss."

"This is Grandma Wu, whom I mentioned in the car."

Shen Rou walked between the two and introduced them respectively.

"So you are Xiao Rou's boss. Thank you for taking care of her during this time."

Grandma Wu said gratefully. She knew that Shen Rou had joined a new company and that the benefits were very good.

Now hearing that the young man in front of her was the boss of that company, she hurriedly thanked him.

"Grandma Wu, what are you saying? Shen Rou is very capable; the company's development relies on her."

Chen Mo shook his head and said modestly.

Shen Rou, listening from the side, felt her face flush. Her daily work was just the most basic tasks; any experienced assistant could probably handle it.

She was indeed learning every day, but she still had a long way to go before reaching the level of those elite assistants.

It wasn't nearly as good as what Chen Mo said.

Grandma Wu didn't know this, and hearing Chen Mo's praise, she smiled happily.

She said with some pride.

"Xiao Rou has been smart since she was little; she was the first university student in the orphanage."

"Alright, don't just stand here. Come inside quickly."

"You guys go keep the children company first, I'm going to prepare lunch."

Entering the orphanage building, Grandma Wu led them into a classroom and then turned to leave.

"Grandma Wu, I'll go help you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Rou hurriedly chased after her.

"What help do you need to provide? Are you planning to leave him alone in the classroom to keep those children company?"

Grandma Wu said crossly, gesturing with her eyes toward Chen Mo in the classroom.

"But Grandma Wu, can you handle it by yourself?"

"When you weren't here, I didn't find it too busy either. It's just two extra mouths to feed."

"Go back quickly."

Grandma Wu impatiently pushed Shen Rou back into the classroom.

"Weren't you going to help?"

Chen Mo looked at Shen Rou, who was walking back, and asked curiously.

"Oh, Grandma Wu said she can handle it and doesn't need me."

Shen Rou said, looking at the children playing in the room.

"Sister Shen, who is this big brother?"

Suddenly, a little girl about five or six years old ran over, looking at Chen Mo with a curious expression.

"This is Brother Chen, he is also Sister's boss!"

Shen Rou looked at the little girl who ran over, crouched down, and said softly.

The little girl bit her finger and asked in confusion.

"What is a boss?"

"A boss is the person who pays Sister's salary."

Shen Rou rubbed the little girl's head and explained patiently.

"Oh, is that so? Then Brother Chen, can you be Yue'er's boss too!"

The little girl tilted her head back, looking at Chen Mo with hope.

Chen Mo found it interesting, crouched down, and asked the little girl with a smile.

"What is your name?"

"My name is Dong Yue'er. Brother, you can call me Yue'er."

"Then can you tell me why you want me to be your boss?"

"Because if Brother becomes Yue'er's boss, Brother can pay Yue'er a salary, and then Yue'er can buy gifts for the younger brothers and sisters."

Dong Yue'er said happily.

"Yue'er is still young. You need to study hard. After you graduate from university, Yue'er can come to Brother's company, okay?"

Chen Mo smiled upon hearing this; he found these children quite cute.

"Then Brother, let's make a pinky promise. After I graduate from university, you will be my boss."

The little girl stretched out her small hand, making a pinky promise gesture.

Chen Mo saw this and also stretched out his hand, hooking their little fingers together.

"Pinky promise, a hundred years, no changing, whoever changes is a little puppy."

"Stamp."

The two thumbs pressed together.

The two accompanied the children in the classroom for a while longer before leaving.

"I didn't expect you to get along so well with the children."

Walking in the corridor, Shen Rou looked at Chen Mo with a strange expression.

Thinking of how Chen Mo had just played with the children, there wasn't a hint of a boss's air about him.

"They are quite cute."

Chen Mo said with a smile. Of course, there was one more thing that only he knew.

Before transmigrating to this world, he was also an orphan.

So, seeing these children, he couldn't help but think of himself back then.

However, he was lucky; he had a chance to start over and had a harmonious family.

Thinking of home, it seemed like a while since he had gone back. After he finished with the company's affairs, it was time to go back and take a look.

"I'll take you to tour the orphanage."

Shen Rou thought for a moment and suddenly said.

Just like that, the two strolled around the orphanage.

Finally, they stopped at the third floor.

"The third floor is the children's dormitory. I'll take you inside to see."

As Shen Rou spoke, she had already pushed open a dormitory door and walked in.

Chen Mo followed behind, observing the layout inside.

He saw that the layout inside the room was very simple; there were only two wooden beds, and under each bed, a washbasin and slippers were neatly placed.

Furthermore, those wooden beds were extremely dilapidated; several of the bed legs were broken, and they were supported by a few bricks underneath.

Chen Mo frowned as he looked at this scene. On the way here, he had learned some information about the orphanage from Shen Rou, but he never expected the orphanage to be this poor.

Thinking for a moment, he immersed his consciousness into the system panel in his mind.

He wanted to see if the System Funds could be used for charity.
