Chapter 27: This Guy’s a Rebel!

Damn it!

Seeing this, Chen Mo couldn’t help but curse.

He opened the recharge page to check the membership levels:

Basic Membership: ¥100

Premium Membership: ¥1,000

…

Luxury VIP Membership: ¥100,000

Staring at that ¥100,000 price tag, then glancing at the system panel displaying his personal assets, Chen Mo fell silent again. Finally, he picked up his phone, recharged ¥1, bought ten diamonds, and revived himself.

Returning to the wild to grind monsters, it wasn’t long before another streak of light shot toward him.

Then, a familiar figure appeared on the screen.

Your character has been killed by [I Am a Tycoon]…

Immediately after, a message notification popped up.

[I Am a Tycoon] sent you a private message:

Poor bastard, if you can’t afford the game, don’t play it. Trash.

Chen Mo stared at the mocking message, trying to report or block the user—both failed.

This game was full of hostility toward non-paying players.

Is being rich really that amazing?

Without hesitation, Chen Mo uninstalled the game.

Before leaving, he left a one-star review:

“Garbage game, even a dog wouldn’t play it. Wasted ¥1.”

Then, out of curiosity, he checked other players’ reviews—90% were negative. That instantly made him feel much better.

“Pay-to-win garbage.”

“You can’t even play without spending money. Waste of data.”

“……”

Just then, Shen Rou walked over with a cup of coffee. Seeing Chen Mo’s frustrated expression, she asked with concern, “Boss Chen, are you okay?”

“I’m fine.”

Chen Mo waved his hand, took the coffee, and sipped it.

The bitter taste of coffee gradually calmed his emotions.

Knock, knock!

Someone knocked on the office door.

“Come in.”

Chen Mo responded.

Wei Yan walked in with a smile.

“Boss Chen, the snack vending machines have arrived. I’ve arranged for them to be placed in the workshop, and someone will regularly restock them.”

“Good job. But next time, don’t bother reporting such minor matters.”

Chen Mo nodded. Initially, he planned to put the vending machines in the second-floor lounge of the cafeteria. But then he thought—why not place a couple in the workshop too?

Of course, since he was trying to spend money, the snacks in the vending machines would be fully covered by the company.

“Oh, but I have another thing to report.”

Wei Yan had a mysterious smile.

“What is it?”

Chen Mo was intrigued.

“You remember that order I took a while back? The batch was completed and shipped to the client a few days ago.”

“The client checked the clothing quality and was very satisfied. So, they placed another order for 70,000 pieces.”

Chen Mo’s expression froze.

“They placed an order for 70,000 more?”

“Yes!”

“The client also mentioned that if we maintain this level of quality, they will keep ordering from us.”

Wei Yan saw Chen Mo’s stunned expression and thought he was amazed by the good news.

Rubbing his temples, Chen Mo suddenly felt a headache. He looked at Wei Yan.

“When will they make the payment?”

Hopefully, they hadn’t paid yet—he might still have a chance to delay it.

But Wei Yan’s next words shattered that hope.

“They already paid. The money should be in the company account by now.”

Chen Mo hurriedly checked his system panel.

As expected…

His system funds, which were down to 341, had now skyrocketed to 70,341!

Chen Mo slumped in his chair, looking at Wei Yan’s cheerful face. His lips twitched uncontrollably.

Wei Yan… Wei Yan…

This guy is a damn traitor!

I should’ve seen this coming!

“Boss Chen, are you okay?”

Wei Yan asked with concern.

Chen Mo weakly waved his hand. “I’m fine. You can go now… I just need a moment.”

“Alright, Boss Chen, take care.”

Wei Yan left the office.

Meanwhile, in the workshop:

“Move it slightly to the right… Okay, that’s good.”

Li Shen directed workers to position the snack vending machines in a corner.

There were two machines—one stocked with chips and other snacks, the other filled with various beverages.

“Xiao Shen, what’s this for?”

An older employee asked curiously.

“I know! It’s an unmanned vending machine, right? You just scan a QR code to buy snacks,” a younger employee chimed in.

Li Shen glanced at him, then smiled faintly before clapping his hands.

“Everyone, pause your work for a moment—I have an announcement.”

All eyes turned toward him.

“As you’ve all noticed, these vending machines have been installed. They were personally paid for by Boss Chen.”

“The snacks and drinks inside are completely free for employees. You can take whatever you like, and all costs are covered by Boss Chen.”

The word “free” instantly made everyone’s faces light up.

The younger worker, who had assumed there would be a QR code, was visibly shocked. After carefully inspecting the machine, he realized—indeed, there was no payment system.

Seeing the excited reactions, Li Shen cleared his throat and continued:

“However, even though the snacks are free, please be mindful. Take only what you need and avoid waste.”

“Boss Chen has provided these for our comfort, so let’s appreciate and respect his generosity.”

“That’s all. Everyone, please be responsible.”

With that, Li Shen returned to his workstation.

The workshop quickly returned to normal, with employees resuming their tasks.

After a while, one worker hesitated, then walked over to the vending machine and grabbed a bottle of soda before returning to his station.

After taking a sip, he continued working. But now, his energy was noticeably different—he was no longer sluggish or tired.

This vending machine wasn’t just about free snacks; it made him feel valued.

Ever since Boss Chen took over, things had been changing.

Early payrolls, air conditioning, salary increases, insurance benefits, free meals, the renovated cafeteria, the entertainment room—and now, even free snacks.

Each change made employees feel a stronger sense of belonging.

At this moment, his loyalty to the company had reached an all-time high.

Working here is truly a blessing.

Back in the office…

Chen Mo slumped in his gaming chair.

After a long while, he slowly sat up, his expression reigniting with determination.

Turning to Shen Rou, he asked,

“Xiao Rou, count the total number of employees in the company.”

He had one day left.

He still had a chance to spend that 70,000 yuan!
