Chapter 72: There’s a Cafeteria, Why Go to a Restaurant?

"No need to be so formal, sit down and let's talk."

After Jiang Cheng sat down, he continued.

"Nothing else, I just want to make an adjustment to your position."

"Due to company operations, Li Shen has been transferred to another department, so the position of Workshop Director has become vacant."

"I've thought about it and feel you are very suitable for this position."

"Mr. Chen, but I… I've never been in a leadership position before. I'm afraid I won't manage it well."

Jiang Cheng hurriedly spoke up upon hearing this, his speech even stumbling a bit.

Being a leader was certainly a good thing, but this was Mr. Chen's company. He was very worried that after taking office, he wouldn't manage well and would cause losses for the company.

"It doesn't matter. No one is born a leader. Just manage it however you think is right."

"Slowly, over time, you'll get the hang of it."

"Alright, that's decided. From now on, you are the Workshop Director."

"Additionally, your salary and benefits will be raised to the level of a Workshop Director, with a monthly salary of ten thousand."

Chen Mo didn't give Jiang Cheng a chance to refuse and turned directly to look at Shen Rou.

"Xiao Rou, you communicate with the finance department later to convey the job transfers and salary adjustments for Jiang Cheng and Li Shen."

"Mr. Chen, then I'll give it a try. If I don't manage it well, you can remove me at any time."

Seeing that Mr. Chen had already made his decision, Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement.

"Fine, just manage it with peace of mind. I believe in you."

Chen Mo looked at Jiang Cheng with an encouraging gaze, but secretly thought to himself, if you don't manage it well, I can use you for a lifetime. Removal… that doesn't exist.

Jiang Cheng left the office looking moved.

He felt both excited and apprehensive.

What excited him was the promotion and pay raise. What made him apprehensive was his lack of confidence in his own abilities.

After Jiang Cheng left, Shen Rou poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Chen Mo, sighing.

"Mr. Chen, you are really good to your own employees!"

Whether it was Wei Yan before, or Li Shen and Jiang Cheng now, and of course, including her.

If they were at other companies, they would probably still be working at the very bottom.

Even if the company needed managers, those bosses would rather spend money to recruit experienced people for the positions, and rarely cultivate their own employees.

But Mr. Chen is just different. Even if his own employees don't have current experience for the position, he is willing to promote his own staff and cultivate them slowly.

"Well, no choice. Their abilities are right there."

Chen Mo picked up the water glass and took a light sip.

Near the end of the workday, Yang Dahai also returned to the company.

"Mr. Chen, my friend is willing to come over. He will come to the company to sign the contract tomorrow."

Yang Dahai came to the office to report the matter.

"Sorry for the trouble, Brother Yang."

Chen Mo's expression brightened. Now that the driver was settled, tomorrow he could have Li Shen take the new driver to pick up the car.

This meant another sum of System Funds would be spent.

"Congratulations, Old Jiang. Since you've been promoted, shouldn't you treat us brothers to a meal?"

When the workshop got off work, employees who had a good relationship with Jiang Cheng immediately surrounded him.

Jiang Cheng looked at the friends around him and smiled embarrassedly.

Just after he left the office, Li Shen had brought him to the workshop to announce the news and then did a simple handover of work.

"Alright, what do you guys want to eat? My treat today!"

Regardless, a promotion was something worth celebrating, so treating a few friends to a meal was normal.

"How about we go back to that home-style restaurant we went to last time?"

"That place is actually not bad. Large portions and affordable prices."

A few employees were discussing where to go eat.

Just then, another employee interjected.

"You guys haven't forgotten about the company cafeteria, have you?"

"That's all made by star-rated chefs. Six dishes per meal, and it's unlimited."

"The taste is much better than that home-style restaurant you mentioned."

"And the drinks in the fridge are unlimited too. Drink whatever you want, as long as you don't waste it."

Everyone fell silent after hearing this, exchanging glances. The cafeteria had officially opened last night.

But just that one meal last night had already conquered them.

Before entering the cafeteria, they hadn't had many expectations for the cafeteria food.

But when they went to get their food, it completely overturned their perception.

Stir-fried pork slices, braised prawns, sweet and sour pork ribs… etc., a total of six dishes.

Moreover, every dish was made with perfect color, aroma, and taste, greatly increasing their appetite.

In terms of drinks, it was also very well-prepared. Six large refrigerators were placed around the dining tables, fully stocked with beverages, mineral water, beer, and milk.

Compared to those company cafeterias where it's cabbage one meal and green beans the next, this was simply heaven compared to earth.

Moreover, two large LCD TVs were hung on the walls of the cafeteria. You could even watch movies while eating; the atmosphere was just too good.

After eating and drinking to their fill, there was a lounge on the second floor. Those who wanted to exercise could play table tennis, and those who wanted to rest could get a massage on the massage chairs.

"Why don't we eat at the cafeteria?"

Jiang Cheng tentatively suggested.

"That's for sure. How could the dishes at that restaurant be as good as the cafeteria?"

"Let's go, let's eat at the cafeteria. I wonder what the food is today."

"Come to think of it, I'm actually a bit hungry."

The group walked towards the company cafeteria together, all with smiles on their faces.

"Old Lu, this restaurant has opened!"

Upon hearing his colleague's words, Lu Zhenguo looked inside through the window and discovered that they had actually started cooking.

When he passed by a few days ago, it was still under renovation. He didn't expect it to open today.

Looking at the layout and environment inside, it felt quite nice.

He wondered which boss had built a restaurant here, but he didn't know how the prices were.

Thinking for a moment, he said.

"Why don't we go in and take a look?"

"Alright, let's go inside and see. If the food is good and the price is reasonable, we won't have to take a taxi to go out to eat in the future."

The other colleague nodded in agreement.

The two walked into the cafeteria together.

As soon as they entered, they felt a blast of cool air rushing towards them.

"This restaurant is pretty good. The air conditioning is actually this strong."

"The renovation is also nice. You can tell at a glance that these chairs aren't cheap."

"Hey, these two big LCD TVs are nice. They probably cost quite a bit."

Lu Zhenguo listened to his colleague's exclamations, his eyes filled with shock as well.

Although he didn't know much about renovation, the temperature of the central air conditioning alone, along with those two big LCD TVs, and the several large refrigerators placed around, were enough to show that the restaurant owner had invested a fortune.

But why were there no waiters to be seen here!

Lu Zhenguo looked around, feeling a bit confused.

Soon, the two arrived in front of a display counter, where freshly cooked dishes were neatly arranged.

Roast chicken, braised pork knuckle, spicy shrimp tails…

Lu Zhenguo looked at the various dishes, the aroma wafting towards him, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

He happened to see a somewhat chubby man dressed as a chef walking out from behind the counter, so he asked.

"Hello, how are these dishes sold?"
