Chapter 82: President Chen Must Think We Aren’t Working Hard Enough

"President Chen, this is all thanks to my master."

"A while ago, I went to Cangxue Games to ask my master for some advice on sales, and after he heard that, he actually shared all the client leads he had with us."

"It is precisely because of these client leads that we were able to take on so many orders."

"But more importantly, the quality of the clothes produced by our factory is excellent."

"…"

Upon hearing President Chen's inquiry, Wu Yu hurriedly recounted his visit to Cangxue Games to ask for advice.

If his master hadn't given him so many client leads, they, as a group of newcomers, would never have been able to secure so many orders.

Therefore, he had no intention of taking all the credit for himself.

After all, since his master had shared something as important as client leads with them, he naturally had to give credit to his master in front of President Chen.

Wu Yu's master?

Isn't that Wei Yan?

So it was that traitor.

He really is generous, sharing the client leads he's accumulated over so many years.

I even transferred you to Cangxue Games, and you're still causing trouble for me.

Chen Mo clutched his chest, feeling that if this continued, he would get heart disease from the anger.

"Alright, I understand the situation. You may return now."

Chen Mo waved his hand listlessly.

Upon hearing this, Wu Yu stood up and left the office.

Back at the Business Department.

Luo Yuan looked at Wu Yu and asked, puzzled.

"I just saw President Chen's expression, and he seemed a bit unhappy."

"He was indeed a bit unhappy."

Wu Yu nodded upon hearing this; he had also noticed the change in President Chen's expression.

When they first entered the office, President Chen's expression had been quite amiable.

The change likely occurred when he mentioned that his master had given him all of his client leads.

That's right, it was exactly when he said his master had given him the client leads that President Chen's expression began to change.

Why was that?

Wu Yu fell into deep thought, and not long after, his eyes lit up.

He felt he had figured out the reason.

Looking at his two colleagues, he said:

"I think President Chen feels that we aren't working hard enough."

"Ah, but we've already taken on so many orders!"

Another salesperson, Cai Jing, said in confusion.

"That's because we think we've taken on enough orders, but in President Chen's eyes, these orders might not amount to much."

"After all, these orders all rely on the client leads my master gave us."

"You have to remember that when my master was in the Business Department, he secured a single million-dollar order all by himself. And as for us? We're holding the client leads my master gave us, yet we only managed to secure some small orders of a little over a hundred thousand."

"And yet, we're still here feeling pleased with ourselves. President Chen is angry that we have such good client leads, yet we aren't working hard."

Wu Yu analyzed, while also reflecting on himself.

Indeed, these past two days, they had been getting a bit carried away because they had secured some orders.

If it were a while ago, they would have already gone out to run business; they wouldn't just be sitting in the Business Department.

President Chen called them to his office probably for this reason—to give them a wake-up call.

However, President Chen is famously good to his employees and gives them face, so he didn't point it out directly.

The other two salespersons nodded in agreement after hearing Wu Yu's analysis.

They had indeed been a bit lax these past few days.

The few of them looked at each other, then left the Business Department one after another.

They started heading out to run business.

…

Inside the office, Chen Mo remained silent for a long time.

There was originally only a little over 3 million in System Funds left. After deducting the expenses for employees and the sports meet, he only needed to spend a little over 1 million more in System Funds.

But now, because of these few salespersons, he would have to spend over a million more.

Sigh! Chen Mo let out a long sigh.

He had no way to deal with this. Should he make those salespersons surrender the client leads that Wei Yan gave them and forbid them from using them?

Chen Mo calmed himself down, took out another document, and began to approve it.

This was the canteen's procurement expenses for the week.

However, when he finished approving the procurement form, a plan below it made him frown.

Canteen retail boxed lunches?

What the hell is this?

He opened the plan with a puzzled expression, and when he saw the content inside.

Chen Mo fell into silence once again.

Having one traitor causing trouble is bad enough, but you, this sly fox, are joining in on the fun, too?

You really know how to do business!

You managed to sell over ten thousand yuan worth of leftover food from the canteen in half a month—I really have to thank you!

No wonder the canteen's procurement expenses were much lower than before; so that's why!

Chen Mo looked at the plan for canteen retail boxed lunches, his face turning livid.

These two are working together seamlessly!

One is trying to find ways to make money for me, and the other is trying to find ways to save money for me, right?

…

"Shen Rou, you don't need to go pick up lunch today. I'm going to eat at the canteen."

Chen Mo turned his head and said this to Shen Rou, who was working.

He wanted to see exactly how this Li Shen was selling off the leftovers.

Time passed, and soon it was lunch time. Chen Mo didn't go straight to the canteen; instead, he sat in his office for a while, waiting until the employees in the canteen had mostly finished eating before going over.

Around 12:20, Chen Mo and Shen Rou left the office and arrived at the staff canteen.

At this time, there weren't many employees left in the canteen.

Chen Mo looked around and headed straight toward the kitchen.

Just as he approached the kitchen, he saw Li Shen writing something at a window next to the kitchen.

Seeing this, Chen Mo walked over.

He wanted to see what kind of tricks this sly fox was up to.

Arriving behind Li Shen, because he deliberately lowered his voice, he did not attract Li Shen's attention.

The other party was still hunched over the windowsill, writing.

Chen Mo looked down and saw Li Shen writing on a piece of white paper.

Today's Menu: Braised Pork Ribs, Braised Chicken Wings, Kung Pao Chicken, Twice-Cooked Pork…

Just then, Wang Maonian walked over carrying a cardboard box. Seeing President Chen behind Li Shen, he hurriedly said.

"President Chen, you're here. Your meal has already been set aside; I'll bring it over right now."

"No rush."

Chen Mo waved his hand at Wang Maonian, preparing to continue watching Li Shen write.

However, by this time, Li Shen had been attracted by Wang Maonian's words and turned around. Seeing President Chen right behind him, he hurriedly spoke.

"Hello, President Chen."

Chen Mo glanced at Li Shen, then picked up the white paper with the menu on it and said calmly.

"What is this for?"

"President Chen, employees from other factories will be coming here soon to buy boxed lunches. This is for them to see."

Li Shen hurriedly explained upon hearing this.

Ever since they set up a stall at the entrance of the Industrial Park a few times, their boxed lunches became a hit, so he took the opportunity to move the location to the canteen window.

Those who want to buy boxed lunches come to the restaurant window to purchase them. There are only 20 to 40 portions available each day, first come, first served.

After half a month of trial and error, the boxed lunches would be snapped up in an instant every day, basically becoming a stable sales channel. So, he made a [Canteen Retail Boxed Lunches] plan and submitted it.

Chen Mo listened to Li Shen's words, feeling a bit puzzled. Just as he was about to say something, he saw many employees who had just gotten off work running quickly toward them from the distance.

Their target was clearly their restaurant.

What's going on?
