Chapter 138 Beating Workers

Southland Media.

"Mr. Chen." Fu Lingling at the company's front desk greeted him.

Chen Mo smiled and nodded, looking at the newly recruited round-faced girl, and asked casually: "Are you used to coming to the company? Have you encountered any problems in your position?"

"No, there are a lot of people coming for interviews recently. I just need to give them some guidance. It's quite simple." Fu Lingling said happily.

The girl was born in the 2000s and just started working. She is very lively and has a bit of baby fat on her face, which makes her look chubby and cute, and her smile is full of youth.

In other words, there is no class smell on him.

However, after hearing Fu Lingling's answer, Chen Mo couldn't help laughing. Is this the straightforwardness of the post-2000s generation?
Generally, no one would tell their boss that their work is easy. Even if they have nothing to do, they have to pretend to be busy, and do only 30% of the work and talk only 70%.

Anyone who has worked in the workplace knows that sometimes being able to do something is not as good as being able to speak, and that working yourself to death can’t beat someone who’s giving a PPT presentation.

However, Chen Mo thought it was good for the girl's frankness. A new company must have this kind of new vitality.

If the company is full of sophisticated and worldly-wise veterans, it will easily become stagnant.

Chen Mo also asked Fu Lingling about the situations of other new employees. The new company had just been established, and as the boss he needed to understand the status of his employees in a timely manner.

The front desk is often the place with the most up-to-date information in a company, especially some gossip that is only circulated among employees, which basically cannot be hidden from the eyes and ears of the front desk.

Of course, Chen Mo was not interested in these. He just wanted to know what the employees felt and thought about the company's personnel systems.

To understand these situations, it is impossible to get the answers by asking questions in public at a meeting or sending out internal questionnaires.

Only the private chats and complaints of employees are the most real and important.

However, most of the employees have just joined the company and are still in the stage of adapting to the work commute and becoming familiar with nearby takeout. What they share the most with each other is probably which nearby store has delicious food.

You should work for a company for a period of time before you can get a clear understanding of its views.

Chen Mo didn't expect to get anything out of the question in one go, so he just "chatted" from time to time so that he could find out in time if a problem really arose.

After chatting for a while, Chen Mo suddenly remembered something and told Fu Lingling:
"By the way, if there's a kid playing roller skating in the open space in front of our company, let her play and don't chase her away."

"Oh, okay." Fu Lingling nodded in agreement.

Seeing that this girl was quite smart, Chen Mo thought for a moment and gave some advice: "When you have nothing to do, you can learn something on your own and master some skills. If you have an idea, you can try to apply for a transfer. The development space at the front desk is still relatively limited."

Fu Lingling's eyes lit up when she heard this, "I will, thank you, Mr. Chen."

"Well, come on." Chen Mo encouraged.

Fu Lingling clenched her fists and said seriously, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I will work hard. I will never let others talk about me and say that I am good for nothing except my good looks."

"Uh..." Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, his train of thought was a little slow to catch up, "Why are you praising yourself?"

"I'm telling the truth." Fu Lingling said as a matter of course, "If I'm not good-looking, would our company hire me as a receptionist?"

"Well, there's nothing wrong with what you said." Chen Mo couldn't deny that the main requirement of the front desk was really the external image.

Fu Lingling continued: "So, in the eyes of many people, the front desk is just a vase position with no technical content."

"That's not the case. The front desk is very important as the face of the company. You represent the image of the company." As the boss, Chen Mo instinctively said some polite words.

"Mr. Chen, I understand what you said." Fu Lingling sighed softly, "But you don't know that pretending to be a beauty and maintaining your image is also very tiring."

Chen Mo was about to say something encouraging when he heard Fu Lingling add, "Fortunately, I am naturally beautiful, so I am very good at it and enjoy it."

"."Chen Mo finally realized that this little girl's train of thought was a little unconventional.

"Especially for a round-faced beauty like me." Fu Lingling said to herself wistfully.

"How does this have anything to do with face shape?" Chen Mo was puzzled.

"Of course it is related. As the saying goes: A round face represents 70% of wealth. Even if you are not rich, it can bring good luck to the family." Fu Lingling said seriously.

Chen Mo was silent for a moment, then said, “Thank you for the additional benefits you bring to the company, but a pay raise is out of the question.”

Fu Lingling sighed and said, "Boss, I've said so much, but it can't shake your capitalist heart. Otherwise, you can be a boss."

Chen Mo responded with a smile: "Thank you for your compliment, and I hope you can continue to work hard and add bricks and tiles to my villa."

Fu Lingling sighed and said, "I have always had a wish, which can be summed up in four words: 'get something for nothing'."

Chen Mo smiled and said, "I can only tell you that hard work may not be noticed, but laziness definitely will."

"."

Fu Lingling forced a smile, "Thank you for the reminder, boss."

"You're welcome. Keep up the spirit. I'm counting on you."

Chen Mo turned and left.

Fu Lingling looked at Chen Mo's back, wrinkled her nose cutely, and muttered: "Evil capitalists, if I had money, I would throw 200 at every dog ​​on the street."

Chen Mo had already walked away and didn't hear these words. If he had heard them, Chen Mo would definitely tell Fu Lingling that the reason she had such thoughts was because she had no money.

Capitalists are dogs that pass by and they must be put on a leash to see if they can be used like oxen or horses, and every possible way must be used to squeeze out value from them.

Chen Mo had just sat down in the office when Pei Luo walked in wearing high heels.

She was wearing a white women's suit, the loose design of which still couldn't hide her beautiful figure. Her cuffs were slightly rolled up, revealing a section of her fair arms. Her overall look was neat and elegant.

There is a unique charm when a beauty wears a suit.

"You need to sign those documents on the table." Pei Luo gestured, "Didn't you say you'd come around three o'clock? If you're any later, you can almost get off work."

"Haha, sorry, I got delayed for a while in the art gallery next door."

As he spoke, Chen Mo took out the tickets he had just found in the car from his pocket, "Here, I have two tickets to an art museum. Someone gave them to me before. I didn't expect it to be the one next door to us. You can go and have a look when you have time."

Pei Luo frowned upon hearing this, and immediately said unhappily: "I thought you had something to do and couldn't make it here in time, but it turns out that you've arrived and are just hanging out next door?"

"There was a small incident." Chen Mo smiled embarrassedly, "Don't worry, I will finish processing these documents before leaving get off work." "But the wall painting exhibition next door is really well organized. I remember that Auntie likes to watch this kind of art exhibition very much. You can find time to go and see it with Auntie, just as if you are accompanying Auntie."

Chen Mo handed the ticket to Pei Luo.

"Oh, it's rare that you still remember it." Pei Luo took the two tickets and looked at them.

"If my mother knew that you cared so much about her, she might want to recruit you as her son-in-law."

Chen Mo laughed when he heard this, "Haha, to be honest, Auntie's taste is really impeccable."

Pei Luo's mother studied opera when she was young. She was also a famous actress in the Peking Opera Theater. She had an elegant temperament and graceful manners.

When she was a child, Pei Luo was a chubby girl with a wild temperament, just like a boy. She didn't look like her mother at all.

Chen Mo, however, has been good-looking since childhood. He is fair-skinned, cute and likable.

So Pei Luo's mother often joked that she wanted to reserve Chen Mo as her son-in-law in advance, so that her daughter would not grow up like a wild boy and be unwanted by everyone.

"I said you were fat and you gasped." Pei Luo rolled his eyes. "If my mother had good vision, she wouldn't have divorced me."

"Divorce only means that two people are not suitable for each other, it doesn't mean anything else." Chen Mo shook his head.

"Besides, your existence is enough to prove that it was right for uncle and aunt to be together in the first place, otherwise they wouldn't have such a beautiful daughter like you."

Pei Luo couldn't help but wonder: "This is the first time I've heard you say something nice about me. I didn't realize you're quite good at talking."

"But you are giving away tickets and offering consolation. Why are you trying to be so touching? Do you really want to be our son-in-law?" Pei Luo looked playful.

Chen Mo said seriously, "Is it possible that I am doing this to make you more devoted to helping me make money?"

"Also, I'm just telling the truth." Chen Mo spread his hands. "You are indeed beautiful now, but you were also really ugly when you were a child."

"I think the nickname 'Black Fat Girl' is quite appropriate."

Pei Luo smiled and gritted his teeth, "I take back what I said just now, you still can't speak human language, and a dog can't spit out ivory."

Chen Mo also smiled back, "I take back what I said just now. Auntie's worry is still reasonable. With your rude words, you really must be worried about not being able to get married."

Pei Luo said disdainfully: "Don't worry about it, you should just worry about yourself."

Chen Mo smiled proudly, "Oh, unfortunately, I already have a girlfriend."

Pei Luo glanced at him and said, "What's wrong with having a girlfriend? You can get divorced even if you're married."

"." Chen Mo choked immediately, "Pah, pah, pah, let's say something auspicious and stop cursing each other."

"Hmph, I don't want to talk to you anymore. Just read the document and sign it quickly, and give it to me before you leave work." Pei Luo knocked on the table, then turned and left.

Chen Mo blinked his eyes, "This tone, are you the boss and I the boss?"

Pei Luo paused, turned around and glanced, "Hmm? Any opinions?"

Chen Mo coughed lightly, opened the folder in front of him, and said without raising his head:

"Come and get it before you get off work."

The sun sets and the lights come on.

After Chen Mo finished processing the last document, he stretched himself.

"Get off work."

Chen Mo handed the document to Pei Luo, and after being given a cold stare, he went downstairs and prepared to slip away.

When he passed by the front desk, he saw Fu Lingling also packing up and getting ready to leave work.

The little girl was humming a song while she was packing her things:
"You are just a fool. You have to go to work every day. You go to work in order to get off work."

Halfway through her humming, Fu Lingling caught sight of Chen Mo and her movements froze instantly. She smiled awkwardly, sat back in her seat silently, and then silently took out the things she had put into her bag one by one and put them back on the table.

Chen Mo laughed dumbly and waved his hand, saying, "You should leave work when it's time to leave. There is no overtime pay for voluntary overtime."

After saying that, Chen Mo left without paying any attention to Fu Lingling who was lowering her head and pretending to be an ostrich.

After waiting for a while and confirming that Chen Mo had left, Fu Lingling raised her head and looked around.

At the same time, she was also wondering if Chen Mo was speaking in a sarcastic way.

No matter what, enjoy life to the fullest and get off work at a certain time.

Fu Lingling was filled with pride and picked up her bag and left.

However, after arriving home, Fu Lingling still felt a little uneasy.

It’s not that I cherish this job so much, it’s just that it’s not easy to settle down. I don’t want to send out resumes and go for interviews every day. At least I can settle down for a while.

Fu Lingling thought about it and couldn't help but ask online how to deal with this situation.

She posted a selfie with a "sad face" and captioned:
[What should I do if my boss finds out that I leave work earlier than him? ]

Fu Lingling usually posts short videos on her Moments, but because of her good looks, her account has 20,000 to 30,000 followers even without much management.

So soon she received a message from netizens:

[It is recommended to understand the labor arbitration process in advance. ]

After seeing this message, Fu Lingling suddenly felt that the coffee in her hand was bitter.

But no matter how bitter the coffee is, it’s not as bitter as going to work; no matter how bitter work is, it’s not as bitter as not going to work.

Chen Mo didn't know that a meeting after get off work would make the girl anxious all night and worry about losing her job.

At this time, he had arrived at a bar in Houhai according to the address given by Huang Yimei?

Chen Mo looked at the sign in front of him with some uncertainty:
【Elephant Music Bar】
