#684

My life is only worth 8 million

As the voice fell, the conference room plunged into absolute silence, and everyone's gaze fell upon Wei Yan and Fang Chang.

"10 million!"

"These two people's project bonuses are actually 10 million!"

Everyone's eyes held a hint of envy and excitement—envy that the others received a 10 million project bonus, and excitement at the thought that if they too could grow their companies one day, perhaps they would receive such bonuses as well.

Meanwhile, Wei Yan and Fang Chang sat in their chairs, stunned.

"A 10 million year-end project bonus!"

They had expected this year's project bonuses to be high, but they never imagined they would reach 10 million.

"10 million!"

It was a figure they had never even considered before.

Li Shen and Wu Yu, sitting not far away, also wore dazed expressions. Their Boring Short Videos had a 100 million year-end project bonus, and according to the distribution rules Chen Mo just announced, they were also entitled to a 10 million project bonus.

Wu Yu secretly pinched his own thigh; feeling the pain, he finally confirmed that he wasn't dreaming.

The fact that the manager's salary had just increased from 26,000 to 60,000 already felt surreal to him.

Now, with an additional 10 million in year-end project bonuses, he felt as if it were all unreal.

"10 million!"

When he was an intern, he had dreamed that one day he would earn a lot of money.

But he never expected that this dream would be realized after working for just over a year.

Chen Mo watched the expressions of everyone in the conference room, his mouth twitching slightly.

He had racked his brains to accumulate personal assets, yet he had only managed to save 1.46 million so far, while these branch managers had already surpassed him with just their year-end and project bonuses.

Especially Wei Yan and Li Shen.

"10 million!"

As the president of such a large Group, he didn't even have 10 million in personal assets.

He picked up the water cup by his side, took a slow sip, and suppressed his inner frustration.

"That's all for today's meeting. Dismissed!"

With that, he stood up and walked out.

Once Chen Mo left, the quiet conference room gradually became lively.

"Congratulations, General Manager Wei."

"Same to you!"

"Congratulations, Manager Fang."

"Same to you!"

"Everyone, let's not linger in this conference room. I see it's almost noon; let's head to the Tomorrow Cafeteria to chat."

Wei Yan checked the time and then called out to everyone in the conference room.

"Yes, let's go to the Tomorrow Cafeteria to chat!"

"It's been a while since I've had a meal at the Tomorrow Cafeteria."

The Group left the conference room, took the elevator down, and arrived at the Tomorrow Cafeteria.

"General Manager Wei, how do you plan to spend this 10 million?"

In the cafeteria, Yao Beiguo looked at Wei Yan and asked curiously.

"What plans could I have? The price of a unit in the Tomorrow Community built by Chen Mo is exactly around 10 million—just enough to buy it in full."

Wei Yan said with a smile.

He had previously planned to sell the house he was currently living in and take out a loan to purchase a property in the Tomorrow Community.

But now, things wouldn't be so troublesome. With this 10 million project bonus, he could pay for a unit in the Tomorrow Community in full.

He wouldn't need a loan, and as for his current home, there was no need to sell it anymore. He wasn't short on money, so he could just tidy it up and rent it out later.

Thinking of this, Wei Yan couldn't help but laugh. He was starting to look forward to his future life.

"That's right, this 10 million is exactly enough to buy a place in the Tomorrow Community."

Li Shen echoed.

He definitely had to buy a unit in the Tomorrow Community; if there was any real estate project he could trust right now, it was only the one built by Chen Mo.

"I'm so envious of you all!"

Li Maode looked at Wei Yan and the others with an envious expression.

He was the latest person to join the Mingri Group, and he couldn't help but wonder if he would have received such generous benefits had he joined earlier.

"What's there to envy? As long as everyone manages their companies well, Chen Mo won't treat anyone poorly. Take the Pet Park and Nanhe Coffee, for example; while they didn't get a 100 million project bonus, they still received tens of millions."

"So, working at the Mingri Group, as long as you can produce results, Chen Mo won't treat you unfairly."

Wei Yan looked at the managers and said earnestly.

All the managers nodded upon hearing this; they trusted Wei Yan's words implicitly.

At the Mingri Group, in the Presidents Office, Chen Mo looked at Shen Rou, who was eating across from him, and suddenly thought of something.

He had distributed project bonuses and year-end bonuses to the managers of those companies and all the positions below them, but he had neglected his own assistant.

Watching Shen Rou eat in small bites, Chen Mo suddenly smiled.

He had almost missed spending that money; he would have to be more thorough next time.

"Shen Rou, today's meeting only announced the bonuses and benefits for the various positions in the branch companies. As for you, being my assistant, I didn't mention anything in the conference room."

"Chen Mo, I'm already very satisfied with my current compensation."

Shen Rou looked up and said slowly. Her current job was something she never dared to dream of before; what more could she ask for?

She no longer had to worry about the children at the orphanage, and during her time off, she could even buy gifts to visit them. She could even occasionally spend money on clothes she liked.

She was already very satisfied.

"You may be satisfied, but the Group's benefits must be distributed. As my assistant, you naturally won't be treated poorly."

"Your salary and benefits will be on par with those of the branch managers: 60,000 per month, and a year-end bonus of 3 million, just like the managers. Then there's the project bonus."

"Although you weren't involved in the operations of those company projects, you coordinated all the big and small affairs of every company, so you played a crucial role in the Group's operations."

"You should also receive a year-end project bonus. Let's set it at the highest amount for this year: 10 million."

Chen Mo pulled out a tissue and wiped the corner of his mouth.

"Ah!"

Shen Rou was stunned. After a long while, she finally came back to her senses.

"Chen Mo, this is a bit too much. I haven't really done anything this year!"

"You don't need to refuse. Whether you've done something or not is for me to decide, not you."

Chen Mo said with a serious expression, then continued.

"Besides you, Yang Dahai is my personal driver. From the time he joined until now, there hasn't been a single traffic accident. During his work, there hasn't been a single instance of him being late."

"For this, he also needs to be rewarded. Let's award him 1.5 million for his year-end bonus, based on a supervisor position. As for the project bonus, my safety is the biggest project, so let's set the project bonus at… 8 million."

As Chen Mo said this, he couldn't help but curse at the dog system again.

His life was actually only worth 8 million.
