I Really Didn't Mean to Make Money

“For example: pets like rabbits and parrots... they don’t need too much space. As long as there is some variety, it can give tourists more options to enjoy.”

“Also, I think we could build a pet boarding facility. One issue people face with pets is what to do with them when going away. Some might leave them at a friend’s house, while others may board them at a pet shop. One relies on favors, the other involves spending money.”

“We could set up a Pet Park membership card. Once a membership is obtained, visitors can enter the park for free within a year, and they can also board their pets for free. This way, it would also increase Pet Park’s income.”

“Additionally, we should establish a Pet Fashion Store. Since there’s going to be a pet fashion show, there will definitely be people interested in pet outfits, making it convenient for them to purchase directly from the Pet Fashion Store.”

“.......”

“In short, after the expansion, there will definitely be a lot of things we can add.”

Xu Zhengming spoke extensively. He had considered these ideas before, but due to budget constraints, he never mentioned them.

However, this time President Chen had added an investment of 5 million, giving him the opportunity to implement all these plans.

Pang Tao listened to Xu Zhengming’s presentation with excitement.

He felt that all these ideas were completely feasible!

“Alright, let’s do it. Tomorrow I will talk to the villagers.”

He grew up in this village and was familiar with the people there. He believed that renting the land would not be an issue at all.

In the business office, Wu Yu looked at Luo Yuan, who had a worried expression, and smiled.

“What’s wrong? Now that you’ve become the head of the Business Department, you look unhappy.”

Upon hearing Wu Yu’s words, Luo Yuan managed a bitter smile.

“Brother Yu, both you and Cai Jing have left, and I’m left all alone. You know my business skills, and I haven’t brought in much business during this time. Putting me in charge of this department is just not right!”

After Wu Yu was transferred to a new project, not long after, Cai Jing was also reassigned, taking over Li Shen’s previous position as the head of the Procurement Department.

Luo Yuan became the most senior salesperson in the Business Department, and President Chen promoted him to head of the department.

However, he was a bit uneasy about being the head!

When Cai Jing and Wu Yu were around, they brought in quite a few agents for the Clothing Factory through live streaming.

The number of people received was evenly distributed, and the success rate of signed contracts was the lowest among the three.

Now, the Business Department was left with only one senior employee and a few new employees who had recently joined.

Additionally, with the live streaming cut off, the department reverted to its previous state, not bringing in any agents over the past several days.

This was very discouraging for him.

He tried his best to pursue business opportunities, but the results were consistently unsatisfactory.

“Don’t be disheartened, take it slow; there will be customers eventually,” Wu Yu comforted Luo Yuan, who was looking disheartened.

However, he didn’t have any better solutions, as he had been busy with short video projects with Li Shen and hadn’t had the time to focus on other matters.

Currently, the technical team working on the APP, with Fang Chang’s help, had just been successfully formed.

They still needed to find an office space, set up desks, computers, and other equipment.

So even though he knew the Business Department had returned to its previous state, he couldn’t be of much help.

Ring, ring, ring!

The phone rang.

Wu Yu glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Li Shen calling.

Knowing it was likely about their short video projects, he offered a brief word of encouragement to Luo Yuan before leaving the Business Department with the phone.

Watching Wu Yu leave, Luo Yuan sighed helplessly.

He had initially intended to refuse the position of department head, but for some reason, after President Chen spoke a lot, he inexplicably agreed.

He still clearly remembered President Chen’s words.

“I am very confident in assigning you as the head of the Business Department; don’t rush with business matters, take your time...”

President Chen had placed a lot of trust in him, and he couldn’t let President Chen down!

The Business Department not having any business wasn’t a sustainable solution either.

Luo Yuan rubbed his head in distress, and suddenly, an idea struck him.

If things really didn’t work out, how about he represented a clothing store?

Just right, after his sister gave birth, she hadn’t found a suitable job. For him to represent a clothing store for her to manage would be a good arrangement.

Moreover, after a few months of work, his salary, some allowances, and two rewards from Sports Meeting converted to cash had almost accumulated enough to cover the agency fee.

As for renting a place and other expenses, there was nothing to worry about. The rent in his sister’s city wasn’t high, and it wouldn’t cost much to settle down.

This way, he would have achievements, and his sister would have work, making it a win-win situation.

More importantly, he had seen the Clothing Factory grow step by step with his own eyes. He believed that joining a clothing store was definitely the right choice. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The more he thought about it, the more reliable this idea seemed. After all, joining President Chen’s brand clothing could be considered an investment.

And with President Chen’s vision, he believed that this clothing brand would certainly become very popular in the future.

As he pondered, Luo Yuan’s eyes suddenly lit up. Since he was joining President Chen’s clothing brand, why not try to get other employees in the company to join as well?

The biggest reason the Clothing Factory was having difficulty recruiting agents was that the brand’s reputation was too low, making it hard to gain customer trust.

But employees within the company were different. They trusted President Chen completely, so there was no need to worry about trust issues.

If he talked to them about agency opportunities, he believed many would be willing to join.

He could also try to reach out to Cangxue Games and the Coffee Shop to see if they could get them involved.

At Jiangcheng Train Station, Yang Ju had just stepped outside when she spotted Chen Mo in the distance.

She quickly walked over.

“President Chen, I’m so sorry to trouble you to come in person.”

“It’s no trouble!”

Chen Mo waved his hand with a smile, gesturing towards Shen Rou beside him.

“This is Shen Rou, my assistant; she grew up in the Orphanage.”

“Hello, Yang Ju.”

Hearing this, Yang Ju extended her hand in greeting.

“Hello.”

Shen Rou had a friendly expression and was grateful to the other party for being willing to teach at the Orphanage.

“Let’s get in the car and chat; we’ll head to the Orphanage first.”

Chen Mo said, leading the way towards the parking area.

Two hours later, Yang Dahai slowly parked the vehicle at the entrance of the Orphanage.

Chen Mo got out and surveyed the Orphanage; it had changed significantly since his last visit.

The most noticeable changes were the newly laid rubber flooring and various play facilities for kids.
