Chapter 65: This Is the Company’s Charity Fund

“Sir, this bunk bed is made of solid wood, and all other materials are environmentally friendly. It’s completely safe for children to use.”

At Tailong Furniture City, Chen Mo squatted in front of a children’s bunk bed, carefully inspecting it. He found that the sales associate was telling the truth—it was indeed made of solid wood.

Standing quietly beside him, Shen Rou hadn’t expected that the reason Chen Mo came to the furniture store was to buy new beds for the orphanage children. Watching him seriously check the bed’s materials, she felt deeply moved.

“How much is this bunk bed?”

After confirming the bed’s quality, Chen Mo stood up and asked the sales associate.

“Sir, this children’s bunk bed is 9,998 yuan each,” the sales associate responded enthusiastically.

“How many do you have in stock?”

This was an important question. If they had enough stock, the children could get their new beds sooner.

“We currently have seven in stock. How many do you need, sir?”

Hearing Chen Mo’s question, the sales associate’s eyes lit up. Based on her years of experience, she could tell that anyone asking such a question was seriously considering a purchase. If she handled it well, the deal was almost guaranteed.

“Sir, if you buy more than five beds, we can offer a 5% discount.”

Chen Mo instinctively frowned at the word “discount” but quickly realized and smiled wryly.

He was getting obsessed with spending system funds efficiently!

But this was a charity donation, and the 800,000 yuan had to be fully used. Saving a little here would allow more funds for other needs at the orphanage.

There were currently 15 children in the orphanage, and with only seven beds in stock, that meant space for 14 kids. But since they were still small, two children could share one bed for now.

“Alright, I’ll take all seven in stock. Plus, I’ll pre-order one more. Please make it as soon as possible.”

“Boss Chen, isn’t this too expensive? The kids are still young—buying such pricey beds is too extravagant. The ones that cost a few thousand yuan looked pretty good too.”

Hearing Chen Mo finalize the purchase, Shen Rou spoke anxiously.

Each bed cost nearly 10,000 yuan! How could she let him spend so much?

“The cheaper ones are made of composite wood, which contains a lot of formaldehyde. Too much exposure can harm children’s health.”

“These are solid wood, top-quality, and free from formaldehyde concerns.”

Seeing Shen Rou’s worried expression, Chen Mo patiently explained.

Formaldehyde exposure was extremely harmful, especially for children. There was no room for negligence. Even when constructing the dormitories at his garment factory, he had insisted on using high-quality solid wood.

“Oh!”

Shen Rou opened her mouth but had never considered this issue before. Now that Chen Mo pointed it out, she realized how serious it was.

It concerned the children’s health—how could she refuse?

“Boss Chen, thank you. Put these beds under my account. I’ll pay you back.”

If she couldn’t refuse, she would consider it a loan.

Now that she earned 10,000 yuan a month, she could afford to pay back the cost of eight beds in about eight months.

Hearing this, Chen Mo frowned. He had carefully planned to spend 800,000 yuan on charity—if she paid him back, how would he achieve that goal?

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Shen Rou seriously.

“Shen Rou, I’m buying these beds for the children, not for you.”

“And this money isn’t just from me—it’s from the company’s charity fund.”

“This money belongs to the company, meaning it comes from everyone at the garment factory and Cangxue Games. If you truly want to do something, then focus on doing your job well.”

“Also, from now on, the company will regularly allocate charity funds for public welfare activities. The orphanage is just the first beneficiary—there will be many more people in need in the future.”

Listening to Chen Mo’s words, Shen Rou lowered her head in shame.

She realized that Chen Mo’s vision far exceeded hers. While she was only thinking about the small orphanage, he was already planning how to help more people.

The orphanage was just the beginning.

“Boss Chen, I understand. I’ll work hard to help the company grow so we can support more people in need.”

Shen Rou lifted her head, her eyes filled with determination.

Looking at her resolute expression, Chen Mo wanted to say, There’s really no need for that.

I hired you as my assistant, not to help the company make more money!

Suppressing his thoughts, he turned to the patiently waiting sales associate.

“You can prepare the invoice now.”

“Understood!”

The sales associate quickly responded, rushing to the counter as if afraid Chen Mo would change his mind.

Earlier, when Shen Rou protested about the price, she thought the deal was off.

From her experience, when a man and a woman shopped together, if the woman objected, the purchase usually didn’t happen.

She had already given up hope—only to be pleasantly surprised.

After quickly preparing the receipt, she returned.

“Sir, please fill out the delivery address and time.”

Chen Mo took the form, filled in the details, and handed it back.

“Alright, sir. Based on your request, the beds will be delivered tomorrow morning. Our workers will also install them for you. If you have any concerns, please contact us anytime.”

After purchasing the beds, Chen Mo also bought a double bed for Grandma Wu and ordered a batch of children’s tables and chairs.

Leaving Tailong Furniture City, Chen Mo asked Yang Dahai to drive to a sports company to discuss installing rubber flooring and some children’s playground equipment.

With this, all the major purchases for the orphanage were settled.

The remaining small items could be handled by Grandma Wu.

By the end of the day, he had only spent a little over 200,000 yuan—still leaving more than 500,000 yuan in the charity fund. That was enough to sustain the orphanage for a while.

“Yang, no need to go back to the office. Just take me home.”

Chen Mo checked the time—4:30 PM. Only half an hour left until the workday ended, so he decided not to return.

“Got it, Boss Chen.”

Yang Dahai responded.

“Where do you need to go?”

Chen Mo turned to Shen Rou.

“I’ll get off at the subway station up ahead.”

Shen Rou glanced at the location and pointed to the approaching subway entrance.

The car slowly pulled over.

Just as Shen Rou was about to get off, Chen Mo suddenly called out to her.
