Chapter 135: Brother Jun, Clothing Factory Wants Me to Do Renovation Work again

Lu Zhenguo listened to the factory director’s words and felt very uncomfortable inside.

If it had been in the past, he probably would’ve kept silent and just swallowed this situation.

But he had just finished a phone call with Jiang Chengtong and confirmed that he could go work at the clothing factory, so he made up his mind instantly.

Originally, he had planned to finish today’s work and submit his resignation tomorrow.

But since the factory director had said that, he had no more hesitation. He simply pulled off his gloves and placed them on the nearby table.

“Director, then I quit.”

With that, he walked straight out of the workshop.

The director was stunned as he watched Lu Zhenguo leave just like that. He hadn’t expected this man—who usually never argued no matter what he said—to just up and quit.

It was really unexpected.

Remembering the last-minute task scheduled for tonight, he hurriedly chased after him.

“Old Lu, what do you mean by this?”

“Nothing much. Just not doing this anymore. Didn’t you say if I can do it, then do it; if I can’t, then don’t? Well, I can’t, so I’m out.”

Without even turning his head, Lu Zhenguo walked out, but inside he felt a bit liberated.

So this is what quitting on the spot feels like? No wonder those young workers at the factory would just throw in the towel whenever they felt wronged.

Guess this counts as me being young for once too!

“But you still need to finish tonight’s job!”

The director followed closely behind.

“Get someone else to do it, or do it yourself. I’m not your servant anymore.”

…

The Next Day

Inside a bare new apartment unit.

“If you’re going to put a shoe cabinet here, you could make it floor-to-ceiling. Add two small cabinets at the top—it’d be great for storing seasonal shoes or miscellaneous items.”

“As for the feature wall, just applying a single coat of latex paint would do. It’s cleaner and more elegant than a wallpaper backdrop—and cheaper too.”

“…”

Chen Jun pointed to various spots inside the unfinished apartment, giving his suggestions.

Wang Yang followed behind him, assisting while also paying attention to Chen Jun’s interaction with the homeowner.

After a while,

They finished measuring and discussed some details with the homeowner, then headed out.

“So? How do you feel about that?”

Outside, Chen Jun casually asked Wang Yang.

Wang Yang shook his head. All he noticed was how well Chen Jun got along with the homeowner—he didn’t pick up on anything else.

Seeing that, Chen Jun chuckled and began sharing some of his experience.

“Communication is really important when you’re taking measurements.”

“First, when you talk, speak suggestively. You’re just offering ideas—the final decision should be left to the homeowner.”

“Second, get a sense of their renovation budget. That part’s key. Only when you know the budget can you propose appropriate designs—and increase your chances of closing the deal.”

“…”

“You’ll pick it up eventually. Just talk with clients more. That’s how you get better at this.”

Chen Jun patted Wang Yang on the shoulder, his tone meaningful.

“I understand, Brother Jun.”

Wang Yang nodded, feeling he had gained a lot.

So there’s this much to learn about communication… Looks like he really needed to practice more.

Just as he was about to say something else, his phone buzzed in his pocket.

Assistant Shen?

Looking at the familiar yet somewhat distant name on the screen, Wang Yang froze for a moment.

He quickly picked up.

“Assistant Shen, is there something I can help with?”

“This is Wang Yang, right? We’ve got a workshop that needs renovation. Are you available to come take measurements?”

“Sure, I’ll head over right away.”

Wang Yang quickly agreed and hung up—but he stood there frozen.

He hadn’t expected another renovation job from the clothing factory.

“What’s wrong? Something happened at home?”

Chen Jun saw Wang Yang’s dazed look and asked with concern.

Hearing that,

Wang Yang snapped out of it and replied, “Brother Jun, the clothing factory just contacted me. They said one of the workshops needs renovation and asked me to come measure it.”

“You mean the Changfeng Clothing Factory?”

Chen Jun asked. In his memory, the only factory Wang Yang was connected with was the Changfeng one, where they’d previously done the canteen and dormitory renovations.

But why does that factory have so many renovation jobs?

“Yeah!” Wang Yang nodded.

“I’ll take you there. I’ve been curious about what that place looks like.”

Chen Jun opened the car door and sat in the driver’s seat. His curiosity about the clothing factory was growing. What kind of place was it, that it had so many projects?

He was even a little uneasy—was his title of top sales rep at risk?

Wang Yang quickly got in the passenger seat.

“Thanks, Brother Jun.”

“No need for that. Just start the navigation.”

Chen Jun started the car casually.

…

At the Clothing Factory—Office

Assistant Shen hung up the phone and turned to Chen Mo.

“President Chen, Wang Yang’s been contacted. He’ll be here shortly.”

“Good.”

Chen Mo nodded.

Last night, Song Xia had already called to say the sublease contract was signed.

So after taking care of some basic matters at the company this morning, he had Shen Rou contact Wang Yang to come measure the workshop.

He planned to handle the workshop and café renovations together today.

These two projects could consume a big chunk of system funds.

But since Wang Yang wouldn’t arrive immediately,

Chen Mo’s thoughts shifted to the portion of the initial system funds he could use for welfare. This time, he’d received 15 million yuan in startup system funds.

That meant he could use 1.5 million for welfare.

Chen Mo thought for a moment, then found the bank account for the orphanage and prepared to transfer the money.

Huh?

Why could he only transfer 200,000?

【Reminder: The orphanage’s current account already has sufficient funds for a while. No additional support needed for now.】

There’s a cap?

Chen Mo was stunned. Looks like he’d need to do some other charity work with the welfare funds.

After thinking for a bit,

He opened his laptop and researched some charity organizations.

Soon, he picked one—but when he tried to make a donation, it failed.

What’s going on?

【Reminder: Charity donations can only be made to organizations that allocate over 90% of the funds directly to aid recipients.】

【Also, each new charity project requires the host to personally conduct an on-site investigation.】

The system’s voice sounded again in his mind.

Chen Mo was speechless. Then he tried several other organizations—and all the donations failed.

This…
