Make Money C331by MarineTL

There was no time to think. He answered the call immediately.

After all, it was a call from President Chen. How could he afford to be careless?

“President Chen, how can I help you?”

“…..”

“Understood, President Chen.”

He hung up.

Wei Yan couldn’t help but marvel. He had just been worrying about the lack of funding, and now, out of nowhere, President Chen had called first and added another 30 million in project investment.

President Chen really was something else.

It seemed every move their project team made was being watched by President Chen. That must be why he called at the exact moment they were facing a funding issue and increased the investment without hesitation.

Noticing the looks from Lu Ren and Xu Yuan, Wei Yan gave a small smile.

“No need to worry about project funding anymore. President Chen just called and added another 30 million to our project budget.”

“Our team has always been under President Chen’s watchful eye, so all we need to do is focus on making this game the best it can be.”

“That’s all for today’s meeting. Dismissed.”

With that, Wei Yan stood up and left the room.

Inside the meeting room, Xu Yuan, Lu Ren, and the others exchanged surprised glances.

They had just been discussing the possibility of a funding shortfall, and now, in the blink of an eye, President Chen had added another 30 million to the project.

Manager Wei must be right. Their project team really was under President Chen’s constant observation.

Thinking about that, the team members took a moment to reflect, making sure they hadn’t been slacking off in their work. Once they were sure they were in the clear, they finally relaxed.

In fact, they silently resolved to work even harder from now on.

………

Mingri Group.

CEO’s Office.

Chen Mo stared at the phone he had just hung up, a trace of confusion in his eyes.

Had Wei Yan changed?

He remembered that every time he asked Wei Yan to spend some money in the past, the guy would always complain. It was either “we don’t need that much” or “we can get it cheaper.”

But this time was different. After he mentioned the additional investment, Wei Yan didn’t say a word of protest. He agreed right away.

Chen Mo had even prepared a whole set of arguments to convince him, but in the end, they were completely unnecessary.

Still, it worked out. Saved him the trouble of talking too much.

Chen Mo thought to himself, then pressed the intercom button to notify the finance department to allocate the additional 30 million to Wei Yan’s project team.

After finishing the arrangements, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

At least he had managed to spend a good chunk of that over-a-hundred-million System Fund.

Now, with only a small amount of System Funds remaining, he just needed to keep an eye on it. There shouldn’t be any major issues.

After all, tens or even hundreds of thousands—within a company this size—could be spent easily if needed.

So as long as there were no large sums of money flowing in, this special mission should be as good as complete.

He wondered what the reward for this special mission would be.

Would it unlock more permissions?

Chen Mo mused silently. What he really hoped for was a reward of several tens of millions in personal assets. That would be ideal.

………

Chenglin Decoration.

Wang Yang sat in his office, looking troubled. His heart was caught in a tangle of conflicting emotions.

In terms of business ability, he was probably the weakest in the company. After all, he had only taken on a single client so far.

But when it came to performance, that one client had already brought in more revenue than the rest of the company combined.

With the coffee shop in Beijing now entering the renovation phase, he had essentially locked in the quarterly sales champion title.

Oh, wait—he probably wasn’t eligible for the sales champion anymore. After all, he was no longer just a designer. He had been promoted to Supervisor.

Ever since President Chen handed him the renovation project for the Beijing coffee shop, Chenglin Decoration’s management had directly promoted him to Supervisor. He no longer worked in the shared studio, but had his own private office.

Still, despite being a Supervisor now, he couldn’t quite let it go. He really wanted to land a renovation order that didn’t come from President Chen.

So recently, he had gone out to look for new clients a few times. But every time, the result was the same: not a single order.

Sigh.

Was he only ever going to get business from President Chen?

Knock knock knock!

A knock came at the door.

Soon, Supervisor Qi Bu walked in.

“Brother Qi, what’s up?” Wang Yang asked.

But he already had a pretty good idea. Lately, aside from the Beijing coffee shop project, he hadn’t received any other renovation orders from President Chen.

Qi Bu had been frequently asking him to get in touch with President Chen to check on any upcoming renovation needs.

But renovation wasn’t something you could just ask about and expect results.

Besides, Wang Yang felt it wasn’t appropriate to keep bothering her like that, so he had been putting it off.

Qi Bu smiled and waved his hand, then sat down across from Wang Yang.

“Wang Yang, you got any plans for today?”

“Yeah, I’ve got a client I’m meeting. Going to measure the space and see if I can land the order,” Wang Yang replied.

Wang Yang wasn’t ready to give up on chasing orders. He believed that if he just visited a few more clients, he’d definitely be able to land a renovation deal.

“Wang Yang, no offense, but you’re already a supervisor at the company. Why are you still worrying about getting orders? Leave that to the designers. And those small orders aren’t even worth the effort. If you’re going to chase something, go after the big ones.”

“Have you been in touch with President Chen lately? Any new renovation projects on his end? I’m telling you, clients need to be nurtured. Sure, President Chen is giving you orders now, but if you don’t maintain the relationship, one day he might just hand those projects to someone else.”

“So stop chasing those other deals. Don’t lose the big picture over small gains. Spend more time at President Chen’s company, build that connection.”

Qi Bu spoke in a measured, persuasive tone.

Wang Yang listened and thought to himself, Just as I expected.

Then he gave a wry smile.

“Brother Qi, to be honest, I’m not actually that close with President Chen. We’ve only met a few times.”

“If I start showing up too often out of the blue, it might come off the wrong way.”

“You’ve only met him a few times? Seriously?”

Qi Bu looked at Wang Yang with skepticism. Just a few meetings, and he’s already handing you all those orders? That didn’t make much sense.

If Wang Yang were a beautiful woman, maybe it’d be more believable.

“It’s true,” Wang Yang nodded. He could count the number of times he’d met President Chen on one hand.

This…

Qi Bu stared at Wang Yang’s serious expression, momentarily stunned. He suddenly couldn’t make sense of it. If they hadn’t spent much time together, why would President Chen give him so many orders?

But regardless of the reason,

President Chen was a major client. He couldn’t be neglected.

“Just because you haven’t seen him much before doesn’t mean you can’t start now. From today on, reach out to him more. Aside from the orders from Beijing, Jiangcheng hasn’t sent you anything in a while. Maybe they’ve already given those projects to someone else.”

“How about today you—”

Before Qi Bu could finish his sentence, Wang Yang’s phone suddenly rang.

“Go ahead, take the call,” Qi Bu said, gesturing toward Wang Yang’s phone.
