Chapter 95: The traitor’s apprentice is also a traitor

"Mr. Chen, what are your orders?"

Not long after, Li Shen arrived at the office, ready to be at his beck and call.

Ever since Mr. Chen rejected his side business of selling lunchboxes, he had pretty much reverted to his idle state.

"I do have something to tell you."

"Jiang Cheng has already spoken to you about purchasing machines, hasn't he?"

Chen Mo smiled as he looked at Li Shen.

"Yes, Brother Jiang came to me this morning. We've already contacted the Mechanical Factory, and we'll go inspect the machines tomorrow. If there are no issues, we can bring them back and put them into use."

"Mr. Chen, is there any change regarding this matter?"

Li Shen looked at Mr. Chen, puzzled.

"You can proceed with this matter as normal, but when you go to purchase the machines tomorrow, also buy some daily necessities."

"That's easy to do, Mr. Chen. What daily necessities do you want to buy?"

So it was just for some daily necessities!

Li Shen was a bit disappointed; he thought it was something major.

Hearing Li Shen's question, Chen Mo began to explain.

"It's not for me, it's for the workshop employees. The employee dormitories have already been completed."

"I just went to observe, and there are still many things that haven't been equipped in the dorms."

Li Shen was puzzled by Mr. Chen's words. He had also seen the employee dormitories, and they were basically fully equipped. After ten days to half a month of ventilation, the workers could move in with just their bags.

Was there anything else that needed to be equipped?

Chen Mo looked at Li Shen's confused expression and continued.

"I saw that there are no cleaning tools in the dorms. To maintain indoor hygiene, cleaning tools are essential."

So that's what it was!

Li Shen suddenly understood. He hadn't expected Mr. Chen to think of even these details; he was truly meticulous.

He quickly said,

"Mr. Chen, don't worry. Tomorrow I'll buy more brooms and mops."

"No, don't buy brooms and mops. Aren't there those fully automatic floor cleaning machines that wash, mop, and vacuum now? Buy those. I need one placed in each Room."

"But Mr. Chen, those floor cleaning machines seem very expensive. One costs several thousands of yuan."

"It doesn't matter. Just buy the floor cleaning machines. This will save some time on cleaning the Rooms, allowing employees more time to rest. When employees are well-rested, they'll have better energy to work, won't they?"

Chen Mo waved his hand, thinking to himself, 'I'm buying them precisely because they're expensive.'

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

Li Shen nodded.

"Then, Mr. Chen, is there anything else that needs to be handled?"

"There's also the internet. Employees definitely won't have enough data when they get off work, so we must get internet connected. However, considering that there are too many people in the dorms and the potential for network lag, make sure to connect several more network cables."

"Hmm… just arrange it according to the standard of two dorms sharing one network port. And internet speed is also crucial; choose gigabit speed for all of them."

"Alright, that's all. Just proceed according to these requirements."

Chen Mo finished speaking, leaned back in his chair, and looked at Li Shen.

"O-Okay, Mr. Chen."

Li Shen responded and left the office.

Inside the office,

Chen Mo secretly calculated the cost of the floor cleaning machines and network cables, which would be around 100,000 yuan.

Not bad.

Although it wasn't a huge amount, it was another small step towards spending all the money.

He checked the time.

4:30 PM.

Only half an hour left until closing time.

He thought for a moment, then decided to open Tianlong Game to have some fun.

The office door was knocked on once again.

Wu Yu peeked in, a faint smile on his face.

Seeing Wu Yu like this, Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat.

He was all too familiar with this look. His throat tightened, and his voice was a bit hoarse.

"How much did you take?"

"Mr. Chen truly has keen insight; he saw that I took an order at a glance."

"It's not much this time, just a small order of 100,000, but Cai Jing also took a 100,000 order, making it 200,000 in total."

Wu Yu chuckled twice.

Keen insight, my foot. You always have this expression when you come over after taking an order.

During this period, you've been to the office at least eight or ten times.

Chen Mo gritted his teeth, thinking, 'I just painstakingly spent 100,000, and in a flash, he brings me a 200,000 order.'

Indeed, like master, like apprentice.

A rebellious apprentice is still rebellious.

Looking at the smiling Wu Yu, the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he felt. Was it easy for him to spend money with such effort?

"Ah, Xiao Wu, you won first place in the sports meet, and I see your physical fitness is quite good. Originally, your master led the morning exercises, but since he was transferred to Snowy Sky, that position has been vacant. Starting tomorrow, you'll fill that position."

"But Mr. Chen, I have to go to work tomorrow morning!"

Wu Yu quickly spoke up when he heard Mr. Chen's words.

Leading the run required running every day, and after running, covered in sweat, he definitely couldn't meet clients. He would at least need to shower before leaving, which would waste a lot of time.

If he didn't lead the run, he would only need to do morning exercises once every three days. He had just finished morning exercises today, so he wouldn't need to do them tomorrow. He was planning to leave early tomorrow to meet one or two more clients.

Hearing Wu Yu's words,

'Still thinking about running errands!'

Chen Mo thought to himself. 'As expected, he was brought up by Wei Yan.'

"Xiao Wu, morning exercise is part of the company's corporate culture, and as for business, you can go after you've run; there's still time."

"Alright!"

Seeing Mr. Chen's firm attitude, Wu Yu had no choice but to agree.

It seemed he would have to try to move faster when running errands in the future.

Watching Wu Yu leave, Chen Mo no longer had any desire to play games.

Including Wu Yu's recent 200,000 order, he still needed to spend 1.6 million of the system funds.

Should he really use the trump card of expanding the production facility now?

No.

This trump card was crucial for his successful settlement.

That's right!

He could look for ways to spend money on Snowy Sky's side.

Chen Mo's eyes lit up. He had paid too little attention to Snowy Sky. Ever since he invested 500,000 in Fang Chang's new project, he hadn't paid much attention to it.

He could go visit Snowy Sky tomorrow. Perhaps these system funds could be spent there.

………..

The next day,

Early morning,

Snowy Sky.

Inside the office.

"Mr. Chen, even if all the original art modeling and servers meet high requirements, it still won't use up a 1.6 million budget."

"Moreover, this would also slow down the game's development progress."

Fang Chang heard Mr. Chen's recent request and began to explain.

"It doesn't matter if the game progress is a bit slow. Slow work makes fine products, doesn't it? What I want to create is a high-quality game."

"As for the 1.6 million budget being excessive for the game, that's easy to handle. Don't we also have several other games under our belt? We can appropriately invest the funds into the operations of those other games."

Hearing Fang Chang's words, Chen Mo waved his hand indifferently.

He thought to himself,

'What game progress? I know your true colors. As the chief planner of games, you've planned several money-losing games for your former boss. Slow progress merely means the game launches later, losing money later, right?'

Would he care about that?
