I Really Didn't Mean to Make Money

After listening to Yang Xingguo’s concerns, Chen Mo pondered for a moment before looking up at him.

“If that’s the case, I have a suggestion. My company is also hiring, and I can offer your wife and daughter positions there. We have many roles available, and the benefits are very good.”

“Of course, if you don’t want to be separated from your wife for too long, you can take her with you on business trips. The compensation will be the same as yours.”

Chen Mo then explained the positions and the salary benefits available.

Yang Xingguo was stunned when he heard the offer, his mouth slightly agape.

He had not expected President Chen to offer such generous terms. His fruit stall only made a little over ten thousand a month, which was the total income for him and his wife, and there was no insurance involved.

In contrast, the lowest-paying job that President Chen offered was a cleaning position with a salary of 4,000 per month, plus social insurance, housing fund, free meals, accommodation, and various benefits.

If he participated in the poverty group survey project, the monthly salary would be 10,000, with all travel expenses reimbursed.

Either option was much better than running the fruit stall with his wife.

Most importantly, he would be able to do something he truly enjoyed.

Yang Dahan sighed deeply.

“President Chen, your offer is very tempting, but I can’t give you an immediate answer. I need to go back and discuss it with my wife to get her opinion.”

Although the offer from President Chen was generous, he was moved, but he couldn’t make the decision for his wife.

“Don’t worry, President Chen. I’ll give you an answer before you leave tomorrow.”

“Alright!”

Chen Mo nodded slightly. He had already given the best offer he could. The decision was now in Yang Xingguo’s hands.

He invited him because he believed this person had a kind heart. If he were to lead the poverty group survey team, he would certainly be dedicated to the work.

The barbecue soon ended.

Yang Xingguo said his goodbyes and left to discuss things with his wife.

Chen Mo, Li Shen, and the others returned to the hotel to rest.

After all, they would be heading back the next day, and both Li Shen and Yang Dahan had long journeys ahead, so they needed to rest early.

.......

The next day, Saturday.

In the early morning.

Yang Xingguo arrived early at the hotel entrance, waiting.

“President Chen, we’ve decided to come with you to Jiangcheng, but I need to deal with the remaining stock of fruit before we can leave.”

Yang Xingguo found Chen Mo and said.

After all, if those fruits were left unaddressed, they would all go to waste.

“If you deal with the fruits, can you leave then?”

Chen Mo looked up at Yang Xingguo, already thinking about the next steps.

“Yes, President Chen. It would be a shame to just discard all the fruit.”

“Alright, then I’ll buy all the remaining fruit. You can pack up and come with us today.”

“President Chen, there’s quite a lot of fruit left. What do you need so much fruit for?”

Yang Xingguo quickly reminded him. The leftover fruit wasn’t just one or two boxes; it was enough to fill half of a basement, enough to fill a small truck.

“It’s fine. I’ll buy it and give it to my employees as a benefit. As for the price, just set it at market value. You don’t need to offer me a discount.”

Chen Mo waved his hand nonchalantly.

It had been nearly two months since he last provided his employees with benefits, and these fruits were just perfect to give to them.

But he figured the total cost wouldn’t be much.

The real expenses would come from employee dinners and team-building activities. After returning, they could organize a team-building event.

And in three days, it would be December.

The Winter Sports Meeting also needed to be scheduled soon.

The system required that a sports meeting be held once per season. The last one was the Autumn Sports Meeting, and with winter already upon them, if they didn’t hold the Winter Sports Meeting soon, it would pass by.

Both the dinner and the sports event were great ways to use up System Funds.

And now that they had more employees, the consumption would certainly be higher than before, so a good plan would be needed when they got back.

After some “negotiating” with Yang Xingguo, Chen Mo agreed to buy all the remaining fruit for 50,000.

“President Chen, I’ll lead the way.”

After the deal was made, Yang Xingguo drove his small truck and led the way, with Chen Mo and the others following him to Yang Xingguo’s home.

In about ten minutes, They arrived at Yang Xingguo’s house.

Chen Mo looked around. Yang Xingguo’s house was on the outskirts of Xiguang County, and there were no tall buildings around. It was a row of old-style bungalows.

When the car stopped at the entrance of the courtyard, two women soon walked out from the house.

One of the women, a young girl, was Yang Xingguo’s daughter, Yang Ju, whom Chen Mo had met before.

From what he had learned in the past few days, Yang Ju worked as a kindergarten teacher in the county.

The other woman, a middle-aged woman, was presumably Yang Xingguo’s wife.

“President Chen, this is my wife, Zhang Man, and this is my daughter, whom you’ve met before.”

Yang Xingguo quickly introduced them.

Chen Mo greeted them.

“President Chen, thank you so much for arranging such a good job for us.”

Zhang Man looked at him with gratitude. After hearing her husband’s discussion, she had immediately agreed.

She knew her husband’s character. He must have really liked the job arranged by President Chen, and how could she bear to refuse?

Moreover, the benefits offered by President Chen were extremely generous. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

There was no reason to turn it down.

Chen Mo smiled faintly.

Yang Xingguo spoke up at the right moment.

“President Chen, you can rest inside for a while. I’ll get a few people to move the fruits from the basement to the truck.”

With that, he quickly left.

“President Chen, it’s chilly outside. Please come inside.”

Watching her husband leave,

Zhang Man took the lead and entered the house, then took out three clean cups, filled them with tea, and handed one to each of the three men, Chen Mo included.

Yang Xingguo had already spoken with her on the phone before coming back,

so she had prepared the tea in advance.

“Thank you.”

Chen Mo took the cup and said his thanks.

Zhang Man politely responded, and then the room fell silent.

However, the quiet atmosphere was quickly broken when Yang Ju walked in.

She walked in and immediately fixed her gaze on Chen Mo.

“President Chen, once the fruit is loaded, are you leaving right away?”

“Yes.”

Chen Mo nodded. After all, the journey was six hours long, and the sooner they left, the better.

But this time, he couldn’t afford to be as leisurely as before.

After all, Yang Xingguo also needed someone to take turns driving the truck.

So, after some discussion, Yang Dahan and Yang Xingguo would take turns driving the truck, while he and Li Shen would take turns driving the business vehicle.

There was no other choice;

among the three of them, only Yang Dahan had a truck driving license.

Two veteran drivers were finally about to take action.
