Chapter 61: Heaven’s Timing, Earth’s Advantages, and Human Harmony?

"Bring two more portions of each of these."

The restaurant manager looked at the dishes Chen Mo had ordered, his eyes practically disappearing from how much he was smiling.

This boss is truly generous.

These dishes were all high-end hotel items like lobster, king crab, and so on, and he wanted two portions of each.

"Understood, Mr. Chen."

The restaurant manager greeted him enthusiastically and then began ordering the waiters to rush the kitchen to prepare the food.

"Shen Rou, check later to see where there are any high-end karaoke bars nearby and book a spot. For the employees who don't want to go home after we finish eating here, they can go to the karaoke bar to have some fun."

"There's a budget of 15,000; just book a place according to this budget."

After ordering, Chen Mo realized that he still had 15,000 in System Funds left unspent. The consumption at this restaurant was a bit too low.

With two whole companies combined, there were nearly 60 people, yet he hadn't even spent 100,000 yuan.

This wouldn't do.

It seemed he would have to switch to a more high-end restaurant next time.

"I understand, Mr. Chen."

Hearing this, Shen Rou nodded in agreement.

She sighed inwardly, thinking that Mr. Chen was truly too good to his employees, specifically ordering expensive dishes. Even for karaoke, he wanted a high-end venue.

"Mr. Chen, I'd like to propose a toast to you."

"Without you, Mr. Chen, there would be no Li Shen today."

Just as he returned to the second-floor restaurant, Li Shen walked over holding a glass of wine.

Chen Mo glanced at the banquet table behind Li Shen and noticed that everyone else was also holding their glasses, looking eager to give it a try.

The last time he got drunk, it was because these people kept proposing toasts. And now they wanted to toast him again. Oh! Wait, no. It was the time before last.

"Li Shen, Mr. Chen cannot drink alcohol."

Before Chen Mo could speak, Shen Rou stood up from the side and said, frowning.

She clearly remembered what Chen Mo looked like the day before yesterday after drinking too much fruit beer.

"Then we'll substitute the wine with a drink."

Soon, Chen Mo had a beverage in his hand, thinking that surely he couldn't get drunk from drinking a soft drink.

After a while, Chen Mo let out a burp, looked at the drink in his hand, and couldn't bring himself to drink any more of it no matter what.

He casually waved away the people who still wanted to propose toasts. These people weren't eating properly and were only thinking about finding him to toast. They really were troublesome.

He thought for a moment, then stood up.

He looked around and discovered that Li Shen was chatting with a female employee.

This rascal had led the toasting, only to run off and flirt with a girl himself.

He thought for a moment and walked straight over.

"Li Shen, how does the food taste here?"

"Mr. Chen, the food here is delicious."

Li Shen looked at Chen Mo, who had walked over, feeling flattered and hurriedly spoke up.

"If it's delicious, then eat more. I noticed you haven't touched your chopsticks for a while. Here, this lobster is not bad."

As Chen Mo said this, he placed a lobster in front of Li Shen's table.

"There's also a duck leg here, and half a jar of caviar. Eat it all, make sure you're full."

"Mr. Chen, I'm stuffed; I can't eat anymore."

Li Shen struggled to finish the duck leg and patted his chest, feeling a bit choked.

"Come on, come on, there's half a bottle of red wine here. Drink some to wash it down, and you'll be able to eat more."

Seeing this, Chen Mo placed the half-bottle of red wine into Li Shen's hand.

Li Shen looked at the half-bottle of red wine, his eyes feeling a bit dizzy, but Mr. Chen was truly too enthusiastic, and it was hard for him to refuse.

He reluctantly drank half of that half-bottle of red wine. While he wasn't choking anymore, he felt even more stuffed.

"There are a few more big shrimp here to fill the gaps. I'm going to check elsewhere."

Seeing that Li Shen was already stuffed to the limit, Chen Mo placed a few more shrimp into Li Shen's bowl, patted Li Shen on the shoulder, and left.

Watching Mr. Chen finally leave, Li Shen was instantly moved to tears.

Mr. Chen was great in every way, except for one shortcoming: he was just too good to his employees.

Chen Mo walked around the banquet hall, looking for the few who had been the most enthusiastic about proposing toasts earlier.

"Come on, this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is quite good, and there's still more than half a bowl left. Don't waste it, eat it all up."

"This sea cucumber is very nourishing."

"What? You can't eat anymore? This fish soup is good, drink some fish soup."

After three rounds of drinks and five courses of food, when everyone had eaten their fill, Wei Yan stood up and spoke.

"Brothers, for those who aren't in a rush to go home, Mr. Chen has booked a karaoke bar for us. Everyone is welcome to go sing."

After Shen Rou had finished booking the karaoke bar, she had notified Wei Yan to organize the subsequent activities.

Chen Mo did not plan to go to the karaoke bar. After all, with him, the boss, there, the employees wouldn't be able to let loose.

The next day, early morning, after Chen Mo finished the breakfast Yang Duoduo had delivered, he arrived at the company.

He leaned back comfortably in his gaming chair, drinking the coffee Shen Rou had brewed for him. Today was an important day.

That's right, today was the day for the system settlement.

He focused his consciousness into his mind and looked at the system panel.

[host: Chen Mo] [System Funds: 308 / 4 million] [Personal Assets: 1,942] [Settlement Cycle: One month (Countdown: 2 hours 38 minutes…)]

Thanks to his efforts yesterday, the System Funds had finally been spent down to under 4,000.

Moreover, first thing this morning, he had asked the Business Department if there was any new performance revenue, and the answer he got was that there was none yet.

This meant he didn't need to worry about a client suddenly transferring funds.

He had also kept an eye on Li Shen, who hadn't been up to any tricks, so there wouldn't be any more issues with handling backlogged clothing.

Meanwhile, Snowy Sky was still developing new games, and all other games were in a state of loss.

Heaven's timing, Earth's advantages, and human harmony.

This time, for the system settlement, he was bound to get his hands on those 4 million.

Shen Rou, who had been secretly observing Chen Mo from afar, noticed that Chen Mo was in an exceptionally good mood today, with a smile appearing on the corners of his mouth from time to time.

Had Mr. Chen encountered some good news? Why was he so happy?

At Snowy Sky, Wei Yan walked into the company looking exhausted. Those guys had partied too hard yesterday and didn't return until the middle of the night.

"Morning, Manager Fang."

"How come you didn't have breakfast today?"

Passing by the manager's office, he discovered that Fang Chang actually hadn't eaten breakfast today. He remembered that Fang Chang ate breakfast at this time every day, so it was a bit strange that he hadn't today.

"Morning, Director Wei, I'm not hungry this morning."

Fang Chang recalled the experience from last night. Mr. Chen had given him an entire large bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. No, that couldn't be called a bowl; it was more like a basin.

He had already eaten enough, and with that basin of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, he was almost too stuffed to walk. Even after waking up this morning, he still felt a bit full.

"Manager Fang, there's good news. Tianlong Game suddenly has a large sum of revenue."

Zhao Bowen rushed into the manager's office excitedly.
