Chapter 9 As my employee, how can you miss out on the five social insurances and one housing fund?

"President Chen, you asked for me."

Li Shen knocked on the door and entered the office.

"Yes, sit down."

Chen Mo pointed to the seat in front of him.

Seeing Li Shen sit down, he spoke softly.

"I wanted to ask you a few things."

"Please do, President Chen."

Li Shen said somewhat cautiously, with his hands on his lap.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to ask if there's anything in the workshop that needs improvement, or if the employees have any suggestions. You can tell me."

Li Shen thought for a moment.

"The workshop is already very good now, there's nothing that needs improvement."

Air conditioning has even been installed, so what could there possibly be to be dissatisfied with?

"Think carefully, are there any areas that require spending money, or any expectations the employees have? Just say it, I won't blame you."

Chen Mo asked, unwilling to give up.

This time, Li Shen thought for a long time before speaking.

"There is one expectation."

"I heard a few older employees mention that it would be great if the company could pay for the employees' five insurances and one housing fund."

Li Shen said seriously, although he didn't have much expectation for this. In small private enterprises like this, he had never seen one pay insurance for its employees.

Chen Mo's spirits lifted instantly upon hearing this. Wasn't this another place where money could be spent?

"Your suggestion is very good. As a good company, paying for the employees' five insurances and one housing fund is a basic matter. Starting next month, the company will fully pay for the employees' five insurances and one housing fund."

"Really, President Chen?"

Li Shen looked at Chen Mo in surprise. He hadn't expected that the boss would agree immediately just because he casually mentioned it.

"Of course it's true. You can go back and tell the other employees to prepare their information. They might need it in a couple of days."

"Okay, President Chen."

Chen Mo looked at Li Shen with satisfaction. This Li Shen is good; he knows how to help him spend money, much better than Wei Yan.

They chatted for a while longer. Seeing that Li Shen couldn't think of any other areas to spend money, he let him leave.

Five insurances and one housing fund!

Chen Mo muttered to himself. He wasn't very clear on the specific process required for paying insurance. It seemed he needed to hire an Assistant as soon as possible. With an Assistant helping, he could be much more relaxed.

Anyway, the System is paying, so there's no reason not to hire one.

He checked his phone and found that there was a job fair at the municipal government building tomorrow. It seemed he could try his luck there.

In the workshop,

Li Shen clapped his hands, gathering all the employees together.

"Li Zi, does the boss have any arrangements?"

An old employee asked with a smile.

Since the air conditioning was installed yesterday, everyone was still in a state of excitement.

Now, seeing Li Shen gather them together as soon as he returned from the office, they figured the boss must have some arrangements.

"There are no arrangements, but the boss asked me to inform everyone that starting next month, the company will begin paying for the five insurances and one housing fund for all employees. Everyone should prepare the necessary information in the next few days, as it might be needed soon."

After Li Shen finished speaking, he began observing everyone's expressions. As expected, after he finished speaking, everyone had a look of shock.

"Li Zi, you're not joking, are you? The boss is really going to pay for our five insurances and one housing fund?"

An employee asked, somewhat disbelievingly.

"Do you think I would dare to joke about something like this?"

Li Shen retorted. Even if he had eight times the guts, he wouldn't dare to make such a joke.

"Five insurances and one housing fund! I was just talking about it the other day, and I didn't expect it to come true today."

"This is great. I didn't expect such a small company to pay for the employees' five insurances and one housing fund."

"President Chen is truly a conscientious boss!"

"Hahaha, if those old friends who left knew, they'd probably regret it to death."

In the workshop,

All the employees fell into excited discussion.

After a while!

An employee suddenly stepped out and asked.

"Li Zi, what information is needed to apply for the five insurances and one housing fund?"

Li Shen was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

That's right!

What information is needed to apply for the five insurances and one housing fund? It seems the boss didn't mention it.

Should he go back and ask the boss?

No,

The boss is busy with a myriad of affairs. How could he bother the boss with such a small matter?

He thought for a moment and said.

"You'll know if you check on your phones yourselves."

Time passed,

Soon it was afternoon, and Wei Yan knocked on the door and entered the office.

"President Chen, the workers for renovating the walls have been found. They can start work tomorrow."

"Tomorrow I plan to go out of town to meet a big client. I might not be able to clock in at the company, so I hope President Chen approves."

Chen Mo was startled. A big client? How could that be allowed? If it succeeded, wouldn't he earn a lot of money again?

No, he must stop it.

"Wei Yan, let's put the big client matter aside for now. I've noticed that the company's office desks and chairs are old. I hope you can procure a new batch."

"President Chen, this…"

"I know you're eager to bring clients to the company, but the company is currently in a reform stage. The company will gradually increase its staff, including salespeople, so for now, let's prioritize handling internal company matters before considering business orders."

"Of course, this will affect your income, but don't worry, your salary next month will be paid according to your usual highest performance standard."

Chen Mo looked at Wei Yan and said meaningfully. He found a loophole in the System. Although the System didn't allow him to intentionally incur losses, giving a reasonable explanation before taking a loss-making action was within the System's allowed range.

Wei Yan opened his mouth. The boss had already said it to this extent, so arguing any further seemed unreasonable.

Evening!

In front of a barbecue stall.

Wei Yan and Li Shen sat at a small square table, eating skewers and drinking small beers.

"What's wrong, Yan Ge? You seem preoccupied!"

Li Shen took a bite of a lamb skewer and asked casually.

"There is something on my mind."

Wei Yan took a sip of beer and spoke with a frown.

"What happened? Did your wife run off with someone else? Your little brother can't help with that kind of thing."

"You little brat, are you itching for a beating?"

Wei Yan glared at Li Shen impatiently, then continued.

"It's about work. Today, President Chen gave me several odd jobs in a row and just wouldn't let me go out to do business…"

"That's just a small matter. Just do whatever the boss tells you to do. The boss isn't short on money for you."

Li Shen said indifferently, and then took a big gulp of beer.

"I know that, but looking at the boss's expression, I always feel like there's some other intention."

"Is that so?"

Li Shen rubbed his chin with one hand, and soon after, he suddenly looked up.

"The boss said that he wanted to handle internal company matters first, right?"

"Right!"

Wei Yan nodded.

Seeing this, Li Shen grinned.

"I think I've found the reason."

"Quick, tell me!"

Seeing this, Wei Yan asked impatiently.
