Chapter 57: Can system funds be used for charity?

Before each settlement, the host can allocate 10% of the system funds to charity. There will also be a charity fund account, but the charity funds need to be deposited into the charity fund account 7 days before the start of each mission cycle.

Chen Mo was overjoyed when he saw the system's reply, realizing he could actually do charity.

However, even if he wanted to do charity, he would have to wait until the next settlement. After all, he had already spent most of the system funds this time, with less than 100,000 yuan left, which he had already reserved for company team building.

Moreover, there were only three days left until the next settlement. Even if he had sufficient funds, it was already past the seven days before the start of the mission cycle, so the charity funds could not be deposited into the charity fund account.

To sponsor the orphanage, he could only wait for the new system funds to arrive in three days.

"Chen Mo… Chen Mo."

"Ah, what's wrong?"

Hearing Shen Rou's call, Chen Mo immediately withdrew his consciousness.

"It's nothing, let's go back. Wu Grandma should have dinner ready."

Shen Rou shook her head and walked out of the dormitory. She had just seen Chen Mo seemed a bit distracted, so she called out a couple of times.

Then, the two of them had lunch there before leaving the orphanage.

At Tiandi Law Firm,

Wu Zhengguo leaned back on the leather sofa, looking sternly at Tang Qiu opposite him.

"Tang Qiu, our firm has treated you well, haven't we?"

"Mr. Wu and the others have always taken good care of me."

Tang Qiu pushed up the glasses on her nose.

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhengguo stood up from the sofa in a fit of rage and shouted,

"Since you know we've been good to you, why did you deliberately lose the lawsuit?"

"Don't tell me you're not capable enough. We know your capabilities very well; winning this lawsuit should not have been an issue at all."

"Mr. Wu, have you ever considered how that injured family will live after winning this lawsuit?"

Tang Qiu stood up and asked without showing any weakness.

She had personally gone to the hospital to see the family. The wife was tirelessly taking care of them in the ward, with two five or six-year-old children also needing care.

And the hope that sustained them was to win the lawsuit and receive compensation from the company.

"He was operating in violation of regulations; he didn't wear a safety rope at all."

"It's his own fault he ended up like that."

"And even if it was a violation, the company already gave 100,000 yuan in compensation. What more do you want?"

Wu Zhengguo slammed the table and glared at Tang Qiu.

"What do you mean he didn't wear a safety rope? The company didn't even provide any. Those safety ropes now were only installed after the accident."

Tang Qiu said with disdain.

This was what she had learned from the injured employee's colleagues.

"Tang Qiu, you still haven't seen the truth clearly. That company paid our firm, so we should work for them."

"Taking people's money to help them resolve their problems—don't you understand this basic principle?"

Wu Zhengguo sat back on the sofa, his tone much calmer, but his face grew increasingly gloomy.

Their firm had lost a large sum of money because of this matter.

"One cannot be without conscience. I, Tang Qiu, never earn ill-gotten gains."

Tang Qiu pointed to her chest. She chose the legal profession for justice.

Now, to make her go against her conscience and earn ill-gotten gains, she couldn't do it.

"Alright, so you're so noble, you don't earn ill-gotten gains, do you? Then please leave my firm."

"Furthermore, you deliberately lost this lawsuit, causing our firm significant losses. Please compensate for these losses before you leave."

Wu Zhengguo leaned forward, speaking to Tang Qiu word by word.

"When did I say I deliberately lost the lawsuit? I merely wasn't capable enough."

Tang Qiu looked at Wu Zhengguo as if he were an idiot.

"Oh, you certainly didn't say it, but our conversation just now has all been recorded. Don't forget, there are surveillance cameras here."

Wu Zhengguo pointed upwards, sneering.

"You still have a long way to go in life. Always be careful in everything you do."

Tang Qiu looked at the surveillance camera above, knowing that she had been tricked by Wu Zhengguo.

Based on that conversation alone, even if she didn't explicitly say she deliberately lost the lawsuit, it could indirectly prove that she was suspected of going easy.

She just never expected that, as an employee here, the other party would scheme against her like this.

"Thank you for the reminder. It made me realize once again the harshness of this society."

Tang Qiu gave Wu Zhengguo a faint look, then turned and left.

Monday,

Today happened to be the seventh day. He wondered if Fang Chang had finished making the equipment.

Chen Mo was sitting bored in his gaming chair, just about to call and ask, when he saw Fang Chang calling him first.

"Mr. Chen, the set of equipment you requested is ready. How should we list it?"

Fang Chang's voice came through the phone, sounding very tired.

"How did you used to list them?"

Chen Mo asked. Since he wanted to ensure the game continued to lose money, he naturally couldn't make any changes.

"Previously, they were obtained through a gacha system. However, after a certain number of draws, there would be a guaranteed drop."

"If the entire set of equipment was obtained through guaranteed drops, it would cost around a few thousand yuan."

Fang Chang said.

Is that so!

If it could be drawn for just a few thousand, then those rival tycoons certainly didn't seem like they'd be short a few thousand yuan.

Chen Mo thought for a moment, then said,

"Release it through the gacha system, but the winning probability needs to be adjusted. Make it as low as possible, and increase the number of guaranteed draws."

"Ensure that a full set of equipment obtained through guaranteed draws costs 100,000 yuan."

"Also, display the equipment drop probability table and the number of guaranteed draws clearly on the gacha interface, the more conspicuous, the better."

"Mr. Chen, won't 100,000 be too expensive? I don't think anyone will buy it."

Fang Chang hesitated, feeling that Mr. Chen seemed to not want to sell this set of equipment at all.

And to display the probability table and guaranteed draw count in the most conspicuous place?

This would probably make even fewer people draw for equipment.

"It's fine. Just do as I say."

Chen Mo confirmed. What he wanted was for no one to buy it. If someone bought it, wouldn't he make money?

"Oh, and when the equipment is listed, also put a set in my game account. I want to see how it feels."

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

Fang Chang agreed.

"Also, notify your employees that the company team building will be held tomorrow afternoon, with both companies participating."

"Specific time and location will be announced by someone later."

Chen Mo suddenly remembered that the team building had been postponed due to the holiday.

However, holding the team building tomorrow would be perfect, as it would just about use up the system funds, and then the system would settle the day after.

Surely there wouldn't be any surprises this time, right?

Wei Yan had already been transferred, and he had been keeping an eye on the new recruits in the business department, and they hadn't achieved any significant performance.

Li Shen, that old schemer, had also been very quiet lately.

Everything was going exactly as he had envisioned.
