Chapter 215: Pet Park Expansion

Jiang Jiu watched this scene from behind, helplessly rubbing his forehead. He opened his mouth to say something but ultimately gave up.

A few minutes later,

Chen Cong stared at the dead Game Interface, remaining silent.

“Why don’t you play, I’ll go take a look elsewhere.”

Back in the office,

Chen Cong felt a bit frustrated seeing Du Ziteng still alive.

If one does early in this game, how long would he have to wait before he gets a chance to play?

Not good.

The number of testers is too few.

Tomorrow, he needs to bring everyone from the Sky Dragon Guild to try out the game. Also, Mei Youqian has many gamer groups, and he can help find a batch of people.

Once the numbers increase, wouldn’t it be much easier to find players?

…………..

Monday,

Chen Mo arrived at the office, feeling cheerful.

Just moments ago, he had exchanged both prizes from the Sports Meeting for cash; now his personal assets had reached 40,000.

The System Funds were also progressing very smoothly.

The additional investment of 5 million for the Pet Park had already been transferred, and the budget for employee salaries and purchases would be disbursed today. By the end of the month, he successfully planned to reduce the System Funds to just over 100,000.

To fully convert the 1500 System Funds, he needed to spend below 150,000 by the end of next month.

If he keeps this up, he definitely has a chance to completely convert the System Funds.

With that thought,

He stood up and called out to Shen Rou in the cubicle, “Let’s head to the station.”

“President Chen, what are we going to the station for?”

Shen Rou followed behind President Chen, a bit curious.

“I found a teacher for the Orphanage. She should arrive at the station around noon, so we’re going to pick her up and then arrange for her at the Orphanage to teach the children.”

Chen Mo explained as he walked out.

Just yesterday, Yang Ju had called, confirming that the transfer procedures from the kindergarten had been completed, and she would be coming today.

Now that Yang Ju’s parents had set off to investigate the situations of needy families in various places, the arrangements fell to him.

“The Orphanage already hired a teacher, didn’t they?”

Shen Rou felt puzzled.

After President Chen funded the Orphanage, they hired a preschool teacher.

Currently, there are only about twenty children at the Orphanage, and one teacher is already sufficient; two are unnecessary!

After all, young children don’t need to be taught too many things.

“Two teachers are for the future. Now that the Foundation is established, and the investigation team has set off, they will definitely find some underprivileged children, so the number of children at the Orphanage is bound to increase.”

“When that time comes, one teacher simply won’t be enough.”

Chen Mo provided an explanation. This investigation team isn’t just looking into empty-nest seniors; some kids in impoverished mountainous areas are also part of the care targets.

Since the Foundation is already established, it should be comprehensive in its efforts.

Hearing this, Shen Rou stopped questioning. She knew about the Foundation established by President Chen.

As someone who had always been close to President Chen, she was well aware of his undertakings.

Helping the Orphanage, aiding stray animals, assisting empty-nest seniors…

President Chen continuously helps more people and animals in need. She had never calculated how much he had invested in charitable activities, but it certainly wasn’t a small amount.

The benefits and compensation for employees in the company are also unmatched by other companies.

Take the Sports Meeting held just the day before, for instance; it cost over 2 million.

Yet despite doing all this, President Chen still lives in a rental apartment, having just recently moved to a slightly better neighborhood.

Previously, he resided in the oldest neighborhood.

In terms of transportation, he still uses that initial business vehicle. Logically, it would be quite normal for someone in his position to own a luxury car.

Furthermore, regarding meals, he has always consumed cafeteria food and has never been seen dining in high-end restaurants. However, during company gatherings, President Chen opted for upscale dining without hesitation.

Thinking of all this,

Shen Rou revealed deep respect in her eyes; President Chen truly is magnificent.

………….

At Pet Park,

Pang Tao and Xu Zhengming sat inside a makeshift shelter, sipping tea and discussing business.

The shelter had been built recently, as the weather had turned cool. Since they were overseeing the work here, they certainly needed a temporary place to rest.

“President Chen has invested an additional 5 million; what should we do?”

Pang Tao took a sip of tea and looked up at Xu Zhengming.

Currently, the construction of Pet Park was completely based on the previous 5 million funding, although they had to account for the daily expenses for the pets.

Xu Zhengming pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.

“With President Chen’s additional investment, it’s clear that we need to make Pet Park better. If necessary, we can consider expanding.”

“Expanding? But right now, this area is our only territory; everything around is owned by others.”

“We could rent. If the price is right, I believe they’d be willing to rent to us. Besides, since our Pet Park is still under construction, we definitely need to establish operations. While they rent us the land, we can offer them work and earn some wages in return.”

Pang Tao’s eyes lit up upon hearing this; it indeed presented a great opportunity to secure a rental.

After all, farming requires both time and effort, and more importantly, it’s subject to weather conditions. If the year is poor, there might be no harvest, and they would lose money on fertilizer and seeds.

A year of hard work might even result in a loss of funds; even in good years, after costs, not much remains.

This has led to young people in the surrounding villages going out to work, leaving farming mostly to older individuals.

These older people are already age-worn, making farming difficult. However, renting land is different; they can earn rent every year without having to worry about harvests.

Moreover, if they want to earn extra, they could also work part-time at Pet Park.

This employment opportunity will undoubtedly be ongoing since they will continue to need workers once the park is completed.

By paying rent, Pet Park can also provide a platform for employment.

It’s a win-win situation.

But what else can they do after the expansion? Pang Tao hesitated, looking at Xu Zhengming in confusion.

“What happens after the expansion?”

“After the expansion, many things can be done.”

Xu Zhengming said slowly.

“First, with the expansion, we will have more space for better categorization. We can split it into a viewing area and an interactive area.”

“In the viewing area, we will display pets with strong temperaments and aggressive behavior. Visitors can only watch from outside; they won’t interact.”

“In the interactive area, we will show pets with gentle personalities, and visitors can pet and interact with them.”

“Secondly, since this is Pet Park, we can’t only have cats and dogs; we can appropriately increase the diversity of pets available.”
