I Really Didn't Mean to Make Money

“Hello?”

Wang Yang answered the call, but after hearing Chen Jun’s earlier remarks, he was no longer as hopeful or excited.

“Yes.”

“That’s right.”

“Exactly.”

“Thank you, I’ll handle it right away.”

As he listened to the words from the other end, Wang Yang’s expression gradually changed from calm to excited and finally to sheer exhilaration.

Hanging up the phone, Wang Yang turned to look at Chen Jun, who was still standing nearby, his face full of excitement.

“Brother Jun! They just called to say my proposal was selected! They’re asking us to arrange the renovations as soon as possible!”

“Your proposal got selected?”

Chen Jun looked at Wang Yang in disbelief.

That outrageously expensive proposal actually got chosen?

“Yes, absolutely!”

“I’m heading to inform the supervisor now. They said the contract can be signed at any time, and they want us to start the renovation as soon as possible!”

With that, Wang Yang excitedly ran off toward the supervisor’s office.

Chen Jun stood there, stunned, his mind racing. He couldn’t help but question whether the experience and insights he had accumulated over the years were actually right or wrong.

But soon, he shook his head, dismissing his stray thoughts.

This must have just been a stroke of luck for Wang Yang—he happened to come across a client who didn’t care about money.

But how often does someone like that appear? He surely won’t be that lucky every time.

Not long after—

Supervisor Qi Bu arrived at the design department with Wang Yang in tow. He cleared his throat and addressed the busy designers in a loud voice.

“Everyone, stop what you’re doing for a moment. I have an announcement to make.”

The designers all looked up.

“A couple of days ago, I assigned our intern, Wang Yang, a cafeteria renovation project. Today, we received confirmation that his proposal was selected.”

“As per my earlier promise, from today onward, Wang Yang is officially a full-time employee of our company! Everyone, give him a round of applause!”

A wave of applause erupted.

Once it died down, Qi Bu continued,

“There’s something else I want to mention—do you all know how much the final quote for this cafeteria renovation was?”

He paused for a moment before announcing loudly,

“A full 450,000 yuan!”

“This quote is higher than most of the projects you all have handled!”

“This serves as a reminder to all of us—never underestimate any project. What might seem like an ordinary job could actually be hiding immense profits!”

Qi Bu spoke passionately, seeing Wang Yang’s case as a perfect example to use for future company training.

Changfeng Garment Factory, Office

“President Chen, Chenglin Decoration said they can start work as soon as the contract is signed.”

“However, they require an initial payment of 30% of the renovation fee, with the remaining 70% to be paid in two installments.”

Shen Rou stood beside Chen Mo, relaying the message she had just received.

“Renovation fees? Tell them I’ll pay the full amount upfront.”

“President Chen, isn’t that a bit—”

“What’s the problem?”

Chen Mo dismissed it without concern. Of course, he would pay the full amount—after all, his goal was to spend money!

Shen Rou hesitated for a moment but ultimately followed his instructions.

The Next Day

To the astonishment of Chenglin Decoration, Chen Mo paid the full renovation cost in one go.

The renovation team quickly arrived on-site and began their work.

Over the next few days, Chen Mo also hired two star chefs, finalizing the cafeteria’s renovation plans.

During this time, the custom-ordered computers finally arrived at the company and were set up. The exterior renovation of the workshop was completed on schedule, and even the massive custom-made company sign was finished. Due to its size, it was directly installed on the workshop rooftop.

At night, when the illuminated sign lit up, it became the brightest spot in the entire industrial park.

Then came the recreation room facilities. Although the room wasn’t fully renovated yet, that didn’t stop him from buying the equipment in advance.

Pool tables, ping-pong tables, massage chairs... every single item he purchased was from top brands.

With this wave of spending, he successfully emptied his system funds.

Chen Mo leaned back in his gaming chair, his consciousness entering the system panel. Seeing the remaining system funds, he couldn’t help but smile.

[Host: Chen Mo]

[System Funds: 341/2,000,000]

[Personal Assets: 2,023]

[Settlement Period: Two Weeks Later (Countdown: 1 Day 4 Hours...)]

Tomorrow was settlement day. If things continued like this, he would officially become a millionaire by noon tomorrow.

Feeling pleased, Chen Mo opened his computer and skillfully clicked on the game icon on his desktop.

Since installing the new computers, he had downloaded a game called Tianlong, which he played to pass the time.

Of course, since he had nothing to do at the company most of the time, he played quite a lot.

At this point, his in-game character had already reached level 50, which meant he could finally leave the newbie village and venture into the wilderness to fight monsters.

Entering the game, Chen Mo controlled his character to head straight into the wild.

According to the game mechanics, high-quality equipment was more likely to drop in the wilderness.

From a distance, Shen Rou could hear the constant clicking of the keyboard and mouse. She immediately knew—President Chen was gaming again.

At first, when she heard all the keyboard tapping, she had thought President Chen was hard at work. Out of curiosity, she had once used the excuse of delivering water to peek at his screen...

And that’s when she discovered—he was just playing games!

But after some thought, she realized this also meant he completely trusted her.

Otherwise, what kind of boss would delegate everything to their assistant while spending the entire day gaming?

Shen Rou clenched her fists slightly, silently encouraging herself—

I have to work hard and not let President Chen down!

In the Game

Chen Mo kept grinding away at monsters in the wilderness, and soon enough, a good piece of equipment dropped.

Just as he was about to pick it up, a streak of light shot from afar, striking his character.

His health bar dropped by more than half in an instant.

Before he could react, another streak of light hit him, depleting his health bar completely.

Your character has been slain by [Rich Daddy].

Chen Mo stared at the kill notification, momentarily dumbfounded. Then, he saw a character decked out in luxurious gear approaching him, with a pair of massive, multicolored wings on his back.

Ding!

[Rich Daddy] has sent you a private message.

“Poor kid, call me daddy, or I’ll kill you every time I see you.”

Chen Mo’s face twitched. Without hesitation, he clicked on the report button.

(Sorry, the player you reported is a VIP member. Report unsuccessful.)

Chen Mo fell silent for a long moment, then closed the message window and clicked “Revive.”

(Sorry, you were killed by a VIP member. You can only revive after 30 minutes.)

[Tip: Spend one diamond to revive instantly, or gain the protection of a VIP member to revive immediately.]
