Chapter 8: Settlement begins. How come there is suddenly an extra 40,000 yuan?

Old City Community.

Chen Mo leaned on the sofa, staring intently at the settlement countdown.

15 minutes,

10 minutes,

……

Just as the countdown had a little over 3 minutes left, the system panel suddenly flickered.

Chen Mo didn't pay much attention at first, but quickly realized the problem.

The system funds, which were originally only 231, suddenly became 40231.

Nani!

Chen Mo thought he had seen it wrong, rubbed his eyes hard, and looked again.

The system funds were still 40231, he hadn't seen it wrong.

What's going on!

Looking at the sudden increase of forty thousand system funds, Chen Mo was a bit bewildered.

How did an extra 40,000 yuan suddenly appear?

Watching the countdown gradually zero out, it was clearly impossible for him to spend these forty thousand system funds.

[System settlement in progress…]

[System settlement complete, beginning fund conversion.]

[Fund conversion complete, beginning system fund replenishment.]

[System funds have been replenished, please check, Host.]

Chen Mo listened to the system's voice and subconsciously looked at the system panel.

[Host: Chen Mo]

[System Funds: 2,000,000]

[Personal Assets: 3,287]

[Settlement Cycle: In two weeks (countdown…)]

Looking at his personal assets of only a little over three thousand, Chen Mo slumped onto the sofa, feeling utterly deflated.

One million!

One million just slipped away from his grasp like that.

After a long while,

Chen Mo slowly sat up from the sofa, and seeing the replenished system funds, he was re-energized.

This time, as long as he spent the 2,000,000 system funds down to below 2,000 before the settlement, he could fully convert 2,000,000 into personal assets.

This was double the previous one million.

But before that, he had to first find out about the sudden appearance of those forty thousand yuan.

If it weren't for those forty thousand yuan, he would have been a millionaire today.

He had to find out who was trying to harm him.

Ring ring ring!

His phone rang.

Chen Mo glanced at the caller ID, it was Wei Yan, and he answered it directly.

As soon as he connected, he heard a joyful voice.

"Mr. Chen, there was a 40,000 yuan transfer just now, you should have received it, right?"

Goodfellas,

Before he even started investigating, the culprit had already walked right into his trap.

Listening to the question on the phone, Chen Mo said through gritted teeth.

"I've received it, I want to know what this forty thousand yuan is for."

"Oh, that's an order I received yesterday, and the forty thousand yuan is the down payment."

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, although this order isn't big, I'll definitely bring in more resources in the future."

The voice on the phone was full of anticipation and longing.

Chen Mo's mouth twitched. He wanted to scold the other party, but the other party was genuinely thinking about the company's development, so he couldn't find a reason to reprimand him.

Wei Yan, huh!

I'll remember him.

He hung up the phone.

Chen Mo first conducted a self-reflection; this failure also had an element of his own carelessness.

Who would have thought that just two days after acquiring the company, Wei Yan would be able to bring in an order for the company?

It seems that just spending money isn't enough; he also needs to find a way to curb the company's profits so that he can reliably convert the system funds in full.

Consider this a lesson, but he was determined to get the 2,000,000 system funds this time.

The next morning,

Monday.

Chen Mo got up early to wash up. This time, he couldn't stay at home; he had to go to the company to continue looking for places to spend money. Two million was not a small sum, and he needed to hurry.

Opening the door and going downstairs, just as he reached the third floor, he saw the Room 301 door on the third floor open. A middle-aged man and a six or seven-year-old girl walked out, and soon a middle-aged woman leaned out and handed a thermos lunchbox to the middle-aged man.

"Be careful on the road. This is lunch, remember to eat it at noon."

"Work can't be rushed; take your time looking, you'll find something eventually."

The middle-aged woman gently instructed.

Chen Mo watched this scene in surprise.

Just two days ago, he remembered this couple arguing, and from the sound of it, it was quite intense. He didn't expect them to reconcile so quickly.

Looking at the woman's caring demeanor, there was no trace of the fierceness from their argument two days ago.

They truly were an interesting family.

At this moment,

This family seemed to notice him coming downstairs. The middle-aged woman immediately closed the door and returned to the Room, and the little girl seemed a bit shy, timidly hiding behind the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man shielded the little girl and stepped back two paces, clearing most of the aisle, clearly indicating for him to go first.

Seeing this, Chen Mo didn't demur. He smiled kindly at the father and daughter and walked past them.

He left the community and took a taxi directly to the company.

Clothing Factory,

"Good morning, Mr. Chen!"

When Wei Yan saw Chen Mo walk into the company, he quickly stepped forward to greet him.

Upon seeing Wei Yan, Chen Mo immediately thought of the one million he had lost, and his heart couldn't help but ache.

Looking at the expectant Wei Yan, he cleared his throat.

"So, Wei Yan, do you have any plans next?"

Is he testing me?

Wei Yan was startled, then quickly spoke.

"Replying to Mr. Chen, the company is currently in urgent need of orders. I've contacted many clients we've worked with before, preparing to discuss increasing the company's order volume to create more profit for the company."

He wants to bring in more orders?

Chen Mo was alarmed when he heard this.

How could this be? Not to mention whether it would affect the settlement, but for every additional order he accepted, he would have to spend an extra amount of money, which would undoubtedly increase the difficulty of him spending all the system funds.

No, he must try his best to stop Wei Yan from taking on more orders.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke calmly.

"Hmm, there's no rush with taking orders. I have some things to tell you."

"Please tell me, Mr. Chen."

Wei Yan spoke respectfully, his heart beginning to anticipate. Mr. Chen must be entrusting him with some important task.

"Well, I see the paint on the outside walls of the company is peeling off a bit. Go find a worker to renovate it."

"Mr. Chen, this matter can be handled by someone in the workshop. I should still go out and do sales. The current order volume can be completed by the workers in a few days. If we don't continue to take orders, the workers will be idle next."

"Wei Yan, you need to look at the long-term. If we handle the internal matters well now, will we still be afraid of not having orders in the future?"

"But other people can handle this kind of thing!"

Wei Yan was a bit confused.

Chen Mo smiled slightly without responding, patted Wei Yan's shoulder, and then directly entered his office.

Sitting in the office, he began to think about places where he could spend money.

Salaries had just been paid not long ago, so it was impossible to pay them again.

That's right, if he couldn't pay the old employees, he could completely recruit a new batch of employees!

Chen Mo's eyes lit up.

It was simply unacceptable for the entire company not to even have a single finance or HR personnel.

Moreover, as a boss, it wasn't too much to hire an assistant, right?

He could also recruit a few more workshop employees and a few sales representatives.

However, sales representatives needed to be carefully selected; he definitely had to find some with poor sales abilities, otherwise, if they were all like Wei Yan, it wouldn't work.

Also for the assistant, he needed to find someone with little experience, only needing to handle some basic tasks.

Otherwise, if the assistant was too capable and managed the company to become increasingly profitable, it would be troublesome.
