Zhang Lan’s program selection

“General Manager Chen, there are two buildings in total. The outer building is for elderly people who can work, and the inner building is for those who cannot work. There's a wall separating them, but there are also two doors on the side that allow passage.”

“Some pavilions have also been built in the courtyard where the elderly can relax in the shade.”

“………..”

Upon entering the Elderly Apartment,

Pang Tao took the lead in giving a brief introduction to the Elderly Apartment.

Chen Mo nodded slightly upon hearing this. He had also interacted with impoverished elderly people, and their daily lives were indeed heartbreaking to witness.

Now that he had the capability, it was always good to be able to help.

His gaze swept across the Elderly Apartment, then landed on Wang Yang.

“I won't say much about the renovation; you understand the requirements.”

“However, there are some things here that you need to pay attention to. This is an Elderly Apartment, and the residents are all elderly, so in terms of renovation, you must consider the elderly.”

“For example, some steps should not be made too high, as it might be very difficult for elderly people with mobility issues to walk up.”

“Also, the outdoor areas should be appropriately renovated. Install some simple fitness equipment for stretching, provide some chess and card tables in the pavilions, and also Xiangqi tables, etc.”

“In short, when the elderly live here, we must provide them with some entertainment facilities.”

“Understood, General Manager Chen, I will definitely complete it diligently.”

Wang Yang spoke, his gaze holding a hint of respect for General Manager Chen.

He had arrived at the Elderly Apartment earlier and learned from Pang Tao that the construction of this Elderly Apartment was specifically for impoverished elderly people.

And all the construction and expenses here were provided by General Manager Chen.

What impressed him most was that if it were some others who had done such a large public welfare event, they would have probably summoned all the media for publicity and promotion.

However,

the Elderly Apartment was already built, yet not a single piece of news had been released.

He didn't dislike people who only did public welfare for publicity; no matter what, they were still doing public welfare.

But he wouldn't respect them, because their public welfare also had an ulterior motive.

General Manager Chen's public welfare, however, was different. General Manager Chen was simply doing public welfare silently, never thinking of using public welfare to increase his own or Tomorrow Group's reputation.

This kind of selfless public welfare was truly worthy of admiration.

Chen Mo nodded slightly at Wang Yang's reply. He was quite at ease with Wang Yang, as they had cooperated for so long, and all the renovations had never presented any issues.

He then turned to look at Lu Jie.

“Since Yang Xingguo recommended you, then this Elderly Apartment will be your responsibility from now on. The elderly who are capable of working are easy to manage; they can generally take care of themselves. But those who are immobile and have difficulty moving will require your careful attention. Recruiting caregivers, purchasing wheelchairs, and other equipment will all need to be handled by you.”

“My only request is that you do not reduce the number of caregivers to save money.”

“General Manager Chen, I know all these things; I will definitely manage this Elderly Apartment well.”

Lu Jie promised.

“Alright, that's all for the matters. Pang Tao, please conduct a detailed handover of the Elderly Apartment affairs with Lu Jie.”

Chen Mo turned to look at Pang Tao.

“Understood, General Manager Chen.”

Pang Tao immediately agreed.

Chen Mo pondered for a moment, confirmed there were no other matters, and then directly turned and left the Elderly Apartment.

Yang Dahai was already waiting at the entrance in the car.

“General Manager Pang, please forgive me for taking over your position as the person in charge.”

Watching the black G-Wagon slowly disappear from his sight, Lu Jie turned to Pang Tao with an apologetic expression.

Before this, the Elderly Apartment had always been Pang Tao's responsibility, and after he arrived, he directly became responsible, which undoubtedly snatched Pang Tao's position.

“What's there to snatch? I've always been a temporary manager, and now that I've handed over the matters here to you, I'm much more relaxed.”

Pang Tao smiled and patted Lu Jie's shoulder. There had been many things to deal with recently. He had to oversee the construction of the new plaza every day, following General Manager Chen's requirements and Wei Yan's suggestions. Many things required his on-site arrangements.

There was also the matter of the sports meeting. General Manager Chen was very serious about this sports meeting, so he couldn't be negligent. He was currently training the formation teams every day.

Coupled with some daily affairs, he had a lot of things to do every day, so he was very happy that General Manager Chen handed over the Elderly Apartment to Lu Jie to manage. This way, he could wholeheartedly manage Corner Pet Park.

After all, Pet Park still had some follow-up plans, such as the leisure apartment project.

Therefore, he needed to make a detailed plan for all matters, figuring out how to reasonably allocate the 20 million yuan in additional investment that General Manager Chen provided each month.

……..

In the car,

Chen Mo carefully calculated and confirmed his itinerary for tomorrow: to go to Zhenhao Cannery.

If Zhenhao Cannery were to be rebuilt, it would require 800 million yuan in funds.

According to his previous plan, he would first invest 400 million yuan as initial capital, and the remaining 400 million yuan would be added later.

Thinking of this, he looked up at the driver, Yang Dahai.

“Tomorrow morning, leave an hour later. No need to go to Tomorrow Group; go directly to Zhenhao Cannery.”

“Understood, General Manager Chen.”

Yang Dahai nodded.

Chen Mo withdrew his gaze and then informed Meng Xiuhong, the person in charge of Zhenhao Cannery, about his visit to Zhenhao Cannery tomorrow.

After completing everything, he leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.

……………

At the same time,

Suzhou and Hangzhou TV Station.

“The Voice of China” had already begun recording.

Zhang Lan sat backstage, feeling a bit nervous.

She already understood the program: each contestant would sing a song on stage, and the four mentors would turn their chairs around, judging based on the singing whether the performer met their requirements, and if so, they could press the button to turn around.

The contestant could then join the team of the mentor who turned around. Of course, if multiple mentors turned around simultaneously, the contestant could choose their mentor.

These were the basic rules.

The four mentors were Wu Huan, Li Wuying, Xiao Qing, and Xu Kun, all veteran singers with a certain status in the music industry.

Before participating, she had thoroughly researched all four mentors, and the team she most wanted to join was Li Wuying's.

Li Wuying was the only female singer among the four mentors. She had always loved Li Wuying's songs, so her first choice was to join Li Wuying's team.

Time passed,

one contestant after another went on stage to sing. Some left regrettably, while others received a mentor's turn and successfully joined a team.

Soon,

another singer went on stage to perform but unfortunately left without receiving a mentor's turn.

Then the host walked onto the stage, chatted with the singer for a few moments, and then began to announce the next contestant.

“Next, please welcome contestant number 18 to the stage.”
