Chapter 292: Chapter 158: Xu Xiyue About to Jump

She was perceptive enough. Chen Mo had said he was looking for the general manager, but she couldn’t possibly take him to the general manager’s office.

Wouldn’t that be turning things completely upside down?

Who was the boss, and who was the employee, after all?

So, she led Chen Mo directly to the boss’s office.

Although the previous boss had rarely come, the office had always been maintained, and the cleaning staff tidied it every day.

"Boss, this is your office. Please wait a moment while I go report to the general manager."

After leading Chen Mo to the boss’s office, the receptionist gave a slight bow and spoke.

"Go on."

Chen Mo nodded at her.

Old Chen’s office was quite large, but the decor was very old-timer style.

The desk, the sofa, the coffee table—everything had that old-timer aesthetic.

’These have got to go.’

Chen Mo decided to replace it all; he had absolutely no appreciation for this kind of style.

At that moment, the employees of Panshi Venture Capital were all gathering to gossip.

They had just seen the receptionist lead Chen Mo into the boss’s office, which came as a huge surprise.

Could the person who just went in be their company’s new boss?

He looked so young!

"Yueyue, who was that just now?"

Seeing the receptionist come out, everyone’s curiosity got the better of them, and they gathered around to ask in hushed, gossipy tones.

"That’s the new boss. Assistant Zhang, please inform the general manager. The boss wants to see him."

The receptionist briefly introduced Chen Mo’s identity, then looked at one person and spoke.

"Okay, I’ll go report to the general manager."

Assistant Zhang immediately went to find the general manager.

"The new boss is so young."

"Not just young, he’s handsome too!"

"I wonder if the boss is single."

"Give up. Even if he’s single, he wouldn’t be interested in drudges like us."

"That’s harsh."

"He’s probably from a super-rich family. They gave him a company to practice starting a business."

"Probably. Let’s just hope this rich kid’s ’practice’ doesn’t practice our jobs away."

"A new boss always makes big changes. What if he cancels all our current projects?"

"I’m more worried he’ll do a major house-cleaning of the staff. We might not even have our jobs by the end of it."

Everyone was buzzing with discussion about Chen Mo.

They all thought that Chen Mo, their new boss, was just too young.

They guessed he was probably a rich heir using the company as a starter project.

But many were also worried, not knowing what Chen Mo would do next.

Everyone was on edge, and no one could focus on their work.

After pacing around the office a couple of times, Chen Mo sat down in the comfortable boss’s chair.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK~

Soon, Chen Mo heard a knock at the door.

"Come in."

’It must be the general manager,’ Chen Mo thought.

The office door opened, and a slender man of about forty, dressed sharply in a suit, walked in.

"Mr. Chen?"

The general manager asked tentatively upon seeing Chen Mo.

Old Chen had told him that 100% of the company’s shares had been transferred to someone named Chen Mo.

But he had never met Chen Mo and didn’t know what he looked like.

"That’s me."

"Take a look at this."

Chen Mo nodded at him, then took the share transfer agreement and the new business license out of his briefcase for him to see.

The general manager walked over to the desk and quickly glanced at the two documents.

A single glance was all it took for him to confirm Chen Mo’s identity.

"Good to see you, Boss Chen. Now that you’re here, I can also take care of some handover matters with you."

After confirming Chen Mo’s identity, the general manager immediately spoke to him with a polite air.

Although he didn’t report to Chen Mo, he suspected that Chen Mo had some kind of special relationship with Old Chen.

They both had the surname Chen, and the company’s shares had been abruptly transferred, 100% of them, to Chen Mo.

It was hard for him not to speculate.

’But as far as I know, Old Chen only has one daughter...’

’Could he be an illegitimate son?’

He was one of Old Chen’s most trusted men, so he naturally didn’t want to offend someone with such close ties to him.

"First, call a meeting with everyone in the company."

Chen Mo said to the general manager after a moment of thought.

’The handover paperwork can wait.’

’The most important thing right now is for everyone in the company, from top to bottom, to meet me, the new boss. They need to know the company’s owner has changed.’

’At the same time, I also need to get a clear picture of how many people are in the company, who is in which department, and so on.’

"Of course, Boss Chen. I’ll arrange it right away."

The general manager understood Chen Mo’s thinking and nodded in comprehension.

「5 minutes later.」

Accompanied by the general manager, Chen Mo arrived in the main office area.

Because the conference room was too small to fit so many people, they decided to hold the meeting in the office area instead.

It wasn’t as if they were discussing an investment project, anyway; there was no need for the conference room.

By this time, the office area was filled with standing employees.

Everyone who was in the office—from department heads to regular employees—was standing there.

"Everyone, let’s welcome the new boss of Panshi Venture Capital, President Chen Mo!"

The general manager first gave a brief introduction of Chen Mo to everyone, then led the applause.

"Hello, President Chen!"

CLAP CLAP CLAP~

Immediately after, Chen Mo heard everyone greet him in unison, followed by a burst of enthusiastic applause.

For a moment, a smile couldn’t help but spread across Chen Mo’s face.

’So this is what it feels like to be the boss?’

’It’s pretty nice.’

Listening to the unending, enthusiastic applause, Chen Mo couldn’t help but press his hands down, signaling that it was enough.

’If they keep clapping, I’ll be too keyed up to sleep tonight.’

Seeing his gesture, the applause gradually died down.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on him, knowing he was about to speak.

"Hello, everyone."

"Today is the first time I’m meeting you all as a new partner. Rather than your boss, think of me as a fellow traveler on this journey, striving alongside you."
