Chapter 73: This Is Probably What President Chen Wanted to See
Wang Maonian heard the visitors asking, then looked at their chests. They had no company ID badges, so he sighed.
"Sorry, this isn't a restaurant. This is the Changfeng Clothing employee cafeteria."
He didn't know how many groups of people had mistaken this place for a newly opened restaurant today.
It seemed he would have to report the situation to the boss and find a solution; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to keep explaining it every day.
"This is an employee cafeteria? You're joking, right? What kind of employee cafeteria has food this good?"
"Oh! I get it. Your cafeteria charges for meals, right?"
The colleague beside Lu Zhenguo said with a sudden realization.
Wang Maonian looked displeased upon hearing this.
"Gentlemen, it's almost time for lunch. Please don't interfere with my work and leave the cafeteria."
"Sorry, we made a mistake."
Lu Zhenguo said apologetically, then pulled his colleague away.
As they walked, he looked at the layout of the cafeteria and sighed internally. The boss of this company was truly generous to spend so much money building an employee cafeteria.
They had only walked halfway when they noticed people starting to enter the cafeteria.
Looking at their uniforms and ID badges—Changfeng Clothing—it was clear these people were employees of the company that owned the cafeteria.
Soon, those people walked to the serving counter, took several dishes, and sat down at tables without making any move to pay.
Clearly, the meals weren't paid for as his colleague had suggested. They were free.
What great benefits!
Lu Zhenguo sighed and walked step by step toward the exit.
But after a few steps, he saw a familiar figure walking into the cafeteria entrance.
Jiang Cheng? Why was he here?
However, upon seeing the uniform the other man was wearing, he understood. Clearly, this Jiang Cheng was an employee of the company.
"Old Lu, why are you here?" Jiang Cheng asked, looking surprised as he saw Lu Zhenguo ahead.
Lu Zhenguo felt a bit awkward upon hearing this and offered a simple explanation.
"Oh, I see." Jiang Cheng nodded in realization, then spoke.
"This is the employee cafeteria, so it's not convenient to host you here. When I have time, I'll treat you to a meal."
"Sure!" Lu Zhenguo nodded and left the cafeteria immediately.
In his heart, he couldn't help but recall the benefits like the two-day weekend and insurance that Jiang Cheng had mentioned when they last met; he hadn't really believed him at the time.
But now, seeing this luxurious employee cafeteria, he felt a bit more inclined to believe it.
It seemed he should really go over and inquire. If there was truly a factory with such benefits, he had to seize the opportunity.
"Yaoyao, take this money and use it. Your dad and I met a good boss; we can earn nearly 20,000 yuan a month now. So, eat whatever you want, don't try to save money, and buy yourself a couple of new outfits. Don't worry about home; your dad and I are doing very well."
"But you, I asked you to come home last time, and you didn't." In the living room, Dong Hong was on the phone, her tone carrying a hint of complaint.
"Mom, I have a lot of classes recently, and I need to review on Sunday, so I don't have time to go back."
"It's not easy for you and Dad to earn money, so don't think about sending me any. I have a scholarship here; it's enough. Little Sister is at the age where she's growing; buy her more good things to eat."
"I have things to take care of here, so I'll hang up now!"
In Linshui City, in front of a door, Yang Yaoyao hung up the phone.
She knew exactly what the situation was like at home. What kind of boss would pay them a salary of 20,000 yuan? They didn't even know how to come up with a better excuse to lie to her.
Forget it. She would just keep the money for now and give it back to them when she went home; otherwise, they would worry again.
Looking at the transfer record on her phone, Yang Yaoyao sighed, put her phone away, and gently knocked on the door in front of her.
Soon, the door opened, and a middle-aged woman walked out. Seeing Yang Yaoyao at the door, she warmly welcomed her inside.
"Yaoyao, come in quickly. Thank you so much; Lili scored more than 40 points higher on this mock exam than before."
The next day, during lunch break. At the entrance of the Garment factory.
A group of Garment factory employees were gathered around a brand-new coach bus, looking at it.
"Damn, where did this coach bus come from?"
"I just saw Chief Li get off the bus. Could it be that the boss bought it?"
"We'll know once Chief Li comes out and we ask."
Several employees stood by the coach bus, whispering among themselves.
Not long after, they saw Li Shen walk out of the building, accompanied by a stranger.
"Everyone is here!" Li Shen looked at the group of Garment factory employees gathered around the coach bus.
"Then it's perfect to announce it right here."
"The coach bus beside you, that's right, was purchased by President Chen."
"And as for its purpose, naturally it is…"
Li Shen paused deliberately here.
Seeing this, the Garment factory staff spoke up anxiously.
"Naturally what? Just tell us!"
"Yeah, we've been waiting here for ages."
Seeing everyone's anxious appearance, Li Shen smiled and said.
"Naturally, it's to be used as a shuttle bus for you all. Let's see if you'll still complain about it being inconvenient to go out."
"President Chen spent a fortune for the sake of your convenience. This coach bus cost over a million yuan."
"So, everyone better work hard. Even though I've been transferred to another department, if I find out any of you are slacking off during work hours, none of you will have a good time."
His tone gradually became serious.
"Chief Li, rest assured. President Chen is so good to us; you don't even need to step in. If I find anyone slacking off, I'll be the first one to not let them off."
"Exactly. President Chen has even shortened our working hours for our sake. If anyone still wants to slack off, aren't they just an ungrateful wretch?"
"From now on, we'll all supervise each other. No one is allowed to slack off during work hours."
The Garment factory employees shouted in righteous indignation.
Li Shen nodded with satisfaction as he watched the employees united.
He thought to himself, President Chen is so good to the employees; this is probably the scene he wanted to see.
With all the company employees united as one, and having this foundation, even if new employees are recruited, they will be influenced by this atmosphere and integrate into the collective.
A company like this must have a bright future.
In the office, Chen Mo was eating the meal Shen Rou had just brought back from the cafeteria when he suddenly heard the shouting outside, which sounded like an oath. His action of picking up food stopped in mid-air, and the food in his mouth suddenly lost its flavor.
That sly dog, Li Shen!
