Chapter 72: There’s a Canteen, Why Go to a Restaurant?

“Don’t be formal, sit down and talk.”

After Jiang Cheng took his seat, Chen Mo continued speaking.

“There’s nothing else, just a small adjustment to your position.”

“Li Shen has been transferred to another department due to the company’s operations, so the position of workshop director has become vacant.”

“I thought about it for a while and feel that you’re very suited for this position.”

“Mr. Chen, but I… have never been a leader before, I’m worried I might not manage well.”

Jiang Cheng hurriedly spoke up when he heard this, and even stumbled over his words.

Becoming a leader was indeed a good thing, but this was Mr. Chen’s company, and he was very worried that if he took the position, he wouldn’t manage well and might cause some loss to the company.

“No worries. No one is born a leader. Manage the way you think is right.”

“Over time, you’ll get the hang of it.”

“Alright, it’s settled then. From now on, you’re the workshop director.”

“Additionally, your salary will be raised to the workshop director level, and you’ll earn 10,000 a month.”

Chen Mo didn’t give Jiang Cheng a chance to refuse and directly turned to Shen Rou.

“Xiao Rou, please talk to the finance department later to inform them of the position transfer and salary adjustment for both Jiang Cheng and Li Shen.”

“Mr. Chen, I’ll give it a try. If I can’t manage well, you can remove me at any time.”

Seeing that Mr. Chen had already made his decision, Jiang Cheng nodded and agreed.

“Okay, just manage with confidence. I believe in you.”

Chen Mo looked at Jiang Cheng with an encouraging gaze, but inwardly thought, if you can’t manage well, I’ll keep you around for a lifetime. Removal… not happening.

Jiang Cheng, touched, left the office.

He felt both excited and anxious.

Excited because he got a promotion and a raise. Anxious because he wasn’t confident in his abilities.

After Jiang Cheng left, Shen Rou placed a glass of water on Chen Mo’s desk and sighed.

“Mr. Chen, you’re really good to your employees!”

Whether it was Wei Yan before, or now Li Shen and Jiang Cheng, not to mention herself.

If they were in another company, they might still be working at the very bottom.

Even if a company needed managers, those bosses were more likely to spend money recruiting experienced people for the job, and rarely would they cultivate their own employees.

But Mr. Chen was different. Even if his employees temporarily lacked experience in their positions, he was willing to promote them and cultivate them slowly.

“Mm, no choice. Their abilities are right there.”

Chen Mo took a sip of water.

As the workday neared its end, Yang Dahai returned to the company.

“Mr. Chen, my friend is willing to come over, and the contract will be signed tomorrow.”

Yang Dahai came to the office to report.

“Thanks, Brother Yang.”

Chen Mo smiled with joy. Now that the driver was confirmed, he could have Li Shen bring the new driver to pick up the bus tomorrow.

This would also mean another round of system funds spent.

………..

“Congratulations, Old Jiang! Since you got promoted, shouldn’t you treat us to a meal?”

At the end of the workday, employees who were good friends with Jiang Cheng immediately gathered around him.

Jiang Cheng looked at his friends and smiled awkwardly.

After he left the office, Li Shen had already gone to the workshop to announce the news and had completed a simple handover.

“Alright, what do you guys want to eat? Today’s my treat!”

No matter what, a promotion was worth celebrating, and treating a few friends to a meal was normal.

“How about the home-style restaurant we went to last time?”

“That one’s pretty good. The portions are large, and the prices are reasonable.”

“…….”

The group of employees discussed where to go for dinner.

At that moment, another employee interrupted.

“Don’t forget about the company canteen.”

“It’s all made by top-level chefs. You get six dishes, and it’s all-you-can-eat.”

“The taste is way better than that home-style restaurant you mentioned.”

“Plus, the drinks in the fridge are unlimited. You can drink as much as you want, as long as you don’t waste it.”

Everyone fell silent after hearing this, exchanging glances. The canteen had just officially opened the night before.

But even after just one meal, it had already won them over.

Before entering the canteen, they didn’t have much expectation for the food.

However, once they got their food, it completely shattered their preconceived notions.

Stir-fried pork, braised shrimp, sweet and sour ribs… there were six dishes in total.

Each dish was expertly made, full of flavor, and increased their appetite.

As for the drinks, they were well-prepared, with six large refrigerators placed around the dining area, stocked with drinks, mineral water, beer, and milk.

Compared to company canteens where the meals were usually limited to cabbage and beans, this was like heaven and earth.

Additionally, two large LCD TVs were mounted on the canteen walls, so they could watch movies while eating. The atmosphere was incredibly pleasant.

After eating and drinking, there was a leisure room on the second floor. Those who wanted to exercise could play ping pong, and those who wanted to relax could get a massage in the massage chairs.

“Why go to a restaurant?” Jiang Cheng asked tentatively.

“Of course, the restaurant’s dishes can’t compare to the canteen’s.”

“Let’s go to the canteen, I wonder what’s on the menu today.”

“You know what, I’m actually kind of hungry.”

The group headed toward the company canteen with smiles on their faces.

…………….

“Old Lu, this restaurant has opened!”

Lu Zhen Guo, hearing his colleague’s words, looked out the window and saw that it had indeed opened.

A few days ago, when he passed by, it was still under renovation. He never expected it to open today.

Looking at the interior design and environment, it seemed pretty nice.

He wondered who the owner was for deciding to set up the restaurant here. He also wondered how the prices were.

After thinking for a while, he said.

“How about we go in and take a look?”

“Alright, let’s go in and see. If the food is good and the price is reasonable, we won’t have to take a taxi out for meals in the future.”

His colleague nodded in agreement.

The two walked into the canteen.

As soon as they entered, they were hit with a cool breeze.

“This restaurant’s pretty good. The air conditioning is strong.”

“The decoration is nice too, these chairs don’t look cheap.”

“Wow, these two large LCD TVs are impressive. They must’ve cost a lot.”

Listening to his colleague’s praise, Lu Zhen Guo was also taken aback.

Although he wasn’t very knowledgeable about decorations, the central air conditioning, the two big LCD TVs, and the several large refrigerators around the dining area clearly showed that the restaurant owner had invested heavily.

But why were there no waitstaff?

Lu Zhen Guo looked around with some confusion.

Soon, the two arrived at a display counter where dishes were neatly arranged.

Roast chicken, braised pork knuckles, spicy shrimp tails…

Lu Zhen Guo couldn’t help but swallow as the delicious smells hit him.

Just then, a slightly overweight man dressed as a chef walked over from the display counter, so he asked.

“Excuse me, how are these dishes priced?”
