Chapter 66: What on Earth is Wrong With My Employees

" Mr. Chen, is there anything else? "

Shen Rou stopped getting out of the car and looked at Chen Mo.

" You don't need to come to the company tomorrow morning. The children's beds will arrive at the orphanage tomorrow morning, so go over and take a look. Also, there is a charitable donation for the orphanage that will be transferred to your account shortly. Please hand it over to Grandma Wu together with the beds tomorrow. "

" After you've handled things at the orphanage, go to the bus trading market. Look around, compile the models and prices of the vehicles, and bring that information back. I need to take a look. "

Chen Mo thought about how he needed to arrange a shuttle bus for the employees of the Garment factory, and it was the perfect opportunity to have Shen Rou go and scout it out in advance.

" Alright, Mr. Chen. "

Shen Rou nodded happily upon hearing this. Of course, she wasn't happy about the orphanage this time, but rather because Mr. Chen was finally letting her do the kind of work an assistant should be doing.

Previously, tasks like procurement and scouting had always been handled by Wei Yan.

" Brother Yang, didn't you drive a large truck before? Do you still know any drivers who drive large vehicles? The company will need a bus driver in a few days. "

" If you know anyone, could you help me get in touch with them? "

In the car, Chen Mo asked.

Tomorrow, Shen Rou would finish investigating the information on the buses, and then it would be time to purchase. Now, all that was left was to find a driver. He didn't know how long it would take for HR to recruit someone, but if Yang Dahai had any friends, it could be faster.

" Mr. Chen, I actually do have such a friend. He used to drive long-distance buses and has over 10 years of driving experience. "

" He is two years younger than me, but last year, apparently due to a passenger complaint, the bus company fired him. "

" Mr. Chen, please don't misunderstand. My friend's character is absolutely fine. It was just that the bus company hired a younger driver who cost less, so they purposely found an excuse to fire my friend. "

Yang Dahai seemed worried that Mr. Chen would misunderstand, so he added an explanation.

" What is he doing now? Can we recruit him to be a driver? "

" I remember the last time we met, he was working as a security guard. If you need him, Mr. Chen, I'll contact him tonight. "

" Alright, then I'll trouble you with that. "

Chen Mo said politely, as this was outside of work-related matters.

" Mr. Chen, there's no need to be polite with me, Yang Dahai. Our whole family has received your kindness; otherwise, we would probably still be worrying about our next meal every day. "

Yang Dahai laughed heartily; he was filled with gratitude for Chen Mo from the bottom of his heart.

Ever since he and his wife joined Chen Mo's company, the pressure on him had practically vanished instantly. During this time, he felt like he had become much younger.

" By the way, Mr. Chen, what salary are you planning to offer this bus driver? "

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment upon hearing this; he hadn't actually considered that matter yet.

The salary definitely couldn't be too low. Currently, Yang Dahai's salary was 8,000 yuan. If the new driver also got 8,000, that wouldn't be ideal. After all, Yang Dahai was considered an old employee; how could he have the same salary as a new employee?

Chen Mo had a flash of inspiration. He would just raise Yang Dahai's salary by 2,000, and then giving the new employee 8,000 wouldn't be a problem.

" Brother Yang, I'm planning to offer the new driver 8,000 yuan a month. "

" Eight thousand? Mr. Chen, don't you worry. As long as my friend hasn't lost his mind, he will definitely come to work here. "

Yang Dahai's face lit up with joy upon hearing this.

He remembered the last time he met that friend, the other party was having a hard time. Now, finding him a job with an 8,000 yuan monthly salary, plus various benefits, he didn't believe the other party would turn it down.

" That's good. "

Chen Mo nodded, relieved, and then continued.

" Brother Yang, you've been with us for a while now, and your performance has been excellent. So, I've adjusted your salary for next month to 10,000 yuan a month. "

" Mr. Chen, I'm already very satisfied with a monthly salary of 8,000 yuan; there's no need to raise it further. "

Yang Dahai hurriedly refused upon hearing this. Mr. Chen had already done enough for him, and considering his daily workload, he felt uneasy about earning a 10,000 yuan monthly salary.

" This is company policy. Employees who perform well will receive salary increases. Without rules, there is no order, so Brother Yang, you don't need to refuse. "

Chen Mo rubbed his temples helplessly; he didn't know what was wrong with his employees.

Those he offered raises to didn't want them. Those he told not to do sales would find ways to do sales and get him orders. When there were too many orders, they would organize overtime without waiting for his orders. Was he lucky or unlucky?

The vehicle drove smoothly and soon arrived at the Old City Community.

Evening, Jiangcheng University, female dormitory.

Shen Rou sat in her chair, staring blankly at the transfer record.

In the afternoon, after getting off at the subway entrance, she had gone straight to her part-time job and hadn't paid attention to transfer notifications. Returning to the dormitory in the evening, she remembered that Mr. Chen had transferred a charitable fund for her to take to Grandma Wu. That was when she opened her phone to check.

When she saw the six-figure amount, she was stunned.

Over five hundred thousand. Mr. Chen had actually given the orphanage over five hundred thousand in charitable funds.

If you counted the children's beds and study desks and chairs purchased at the furniture mall, plus the rubber track and entertainment equipment customized from the sports goods company, it probably added up to 800,000.

Shen Rou was silent for a long time; she didn't know how to describe her feelings at this moment. Previously, her biggest goal was to help the orphanage overcome its difficulties and ensure those little ones had a good living environment.

Yet this goal, which she had viewed as so difficult to achieve, had been solved in an instant today. She was happy, happy for the orphanage and those children. But she also felt a bit empty; the motivation that had supported her all this time had collapsed in this moment.

" What's wrong, Xiao Rou? "

Her roommate, Zhang Lan, noticed that Shen Rou's mood was a bit off and asked with concern.

" Lanlan, what do you think I should do if the orphanage suddenly gets out of trouble and doesn't need my financial support anymore? "

Shen Rou looked up at Zhang Lan, looking a bit lost.

" That's a good thing. This way, you won't have to go out for part-time jobs every day, and you won't have to live so frugally. "

" With your monthly salary of 10,000, you can buy some clothes and snacks you like. If you miss the orphanage one day, just buy some small gifts and go visit. "

" Doesn't that sound like a wonderful life? "

" All these years you've been living for the orphanage. If the orphanage really doesn't need financial support anymore, I think you should live for yourself for once. "

Zhang Lan said to Shen Rou earnestly; these were her true feelings. She knew better than anyone how Shen Rou had lived these past few years of university.

But soon, Zhang Lan shook her head and sighed.

" But what's the use of saying all this? It's not like we haven't gone to those big companies to ask for sponsorship. If we meet a decent one, they might donate ten thousand or so, but then they have to post a short video to gain attention. "

" If we meet a bad one, they won't even let us in the door. "

" These days, entrepreneurs who are genuinely doing charity are far too rare. "

" Who knows how long we'd have to wait until we actually meet one. "

" I've met one. "

Shen Rou looked at Zhang Lan and said, enunciating every word.
