Chapter 334: Chapter 169: Pan Kejia: Your lips have the taste of Lao 4

He’d previously thought of it as just a small good-luck charm and an honor.

He never expected it would bring him tangible benefits.

The bigger his company grew and the more money he made, the more taxes he had to pay.

If he could get some tax breaks, the benefits would be no small sum.

On top of that, he could also get a tax refund.

He had paid a lot in taxes this year—a substantial amount of personal income tax from his lottery winnings, the property Old Chen had transferred to him, and the transfer of the company.

It was in the millions.

Even if he couldn’t get it all back, even just a portion of it was still money.

’As long as the tax refund is legal and legitimate, I wouldn’t turn my nose up at even just ten thousand.’

"Why thank me? This is all your own doing."

Captain Li shook his head, not daring to take credit.

’If anything, I should be the one thanking Chen Mo.’

If Chen Mo hadn’t fished that thing up, he wouldn’t have been involved at all.

Chen Mo chatted with Captain Li for a bit before Captain Li hung up, saying he had to get back to work.

A little over an hour later, the receptionist hurried over and knocked on the door to Chen Mo’s office.

"President Chen, someone from the government is here for you. They said they’re delivering something..."

The receptionist looked at Chen Mo with a hint of surprise and suspicion.

The ID the person had shown was not from an ordinary department.

’President Chen is connected with people from a special department like that?’

"Okay, I got it."

Hearing this, Chen Mo knew it must be the person Captain Li had sent.

He immediately stood up and walked toward the entrance with the receptionist.

When he got to the entrance, he saw Xiaozhang, the young man who had registered their information the other day.

"Hello, Mr. Chen. Here is your certificate and letter of thanks!"

Upon seeing Chen Mo, Xiaozhang politely greeted him and handed over the certificate and the letter.

"Thank you for coming all this way. Why don’t you come in for a glass of water and rest for a bit?"

After taking the items, Chen Mo smiled and invited him inside to rest.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, but I have other work to do, so I have to get going."

Xiaozhang smiled apologetically and waved his hand to decline.

"Alright, thanks then."

Chen Mo waved goodbye and saw him into the elevator.

After Xiaozhang left, Chen Mo returned to his office with the items.

The receptionist watched Chen Mo’s retreating back, thinking about how polite Xiaozhang had been to him just now.

And she’d also seen the certificate and letter of thanks Xiaozhang delivered.

She felt that Chen Mo definitely had a background they didn’t know about.

Otherwise, given the nature of Xiaozhang’s job, there was no way he would be so courteous to Chen Mo.

In that moment, her image of Chen Mo became shrouded in mystery.

Back in his office, Chen Mo opened the letter of thanks and took a look.

The content was pretty standard, mostly thanking him for his contributions to national security and so on.

The letter was probably a template. He figured his letter was identical to the ones Wu Zicong, Tang Tianyu, and the others received, with only the name at the beginning being different.

Of course, the letter of thanks was just an appetizer.

The certificate was the real main course.

Chen Mo opened the certificate. The words "Outstanding Contribution Award" were printed in large, eye-catching characters.

Moreover, the issuing department’s signature and official seal meant this Outstanding Contribution Award was highly prestigious.

"It’s really hard to put a price on the rewards from this unfortunate incident."

For a moment, Chen Mo really couldn’t quantify the monetary value of this reward.

Because some things couldn’t be bought with money.

But just from the tax benefits Captain Li mentioned, he stood to gain a considerable amount.

’I’ll take the finance guy to the tax department on Monday to ask about it.’

A thoughtful expression appeared on Chen Mo’s face as he made up his mind.

After staying at the company for a while longer and seeing there were no major issues for him to handle, he headed home.

But he didn’t go back to his own place; he went to Miss Pan’s home.

They had made plans this morning for him to spend the night with her.

As soon as he arrived at her door, the lock recognized his face.

Without him even needing to enter a password, the door unlocked.

"It really does save a few seconds."

Chen Mo smiled, pulled the door open, and walked inside.

At the entryway, he slipped on the matching couple’s slippers Pan Kejia had bought specially for him.

Usually when he came over, they went straight to the racetrack, but today he actually took some time to wander around her place.

The apartment was quite large. Since she lived alone and didn’t need so many rooms, she had converted one into a special walk-in closet.

Chen Mo took a look. The walk-in closet was filled with all sorts of designer clothes and bags, and her jewelry was all from luxury brands too.

As for her shoes, they had their own dedicated cabinet.

There were plenty of high heels, flats, and sneakers.

"Born in Rome, huh."

Chen Mo smiled and shook his head, then walked into her bedroom.

"Hm?"

On her nightstand, Chen Mo saw a picture frame.

He picked it up and couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

The frame held an intimate photo of him and Pan Kejia, taken on their date in Suzhou.

He hadn’t realized Pan Kejia had gone to the trouble of printing the photo out and putting it in a frame on her nightstand.

Chen Mo took a picture of it with his phone and sent it to Pan Kejia.

"What’s this? You need to look at a picture of me to fall asleep at night?"

Chen Mo teased her with a smile.

"When I can’t fall asleep next to you, I have to fall asleep looking at your picture."

Pan Kejia quickly replied.

"Tonight, I’ll let you hold me as you fall asleep."

Seeing her text, Chen Mo smiled slightly and typed back.

"In that case, we won’t be getting any sleep at all tonight."

Chen Mo couldn’t help but chuckle. ’She’s not wrong.’

He put down the picture frame, went to the living room, and sat on the sofa, scrolling through his phone.

It felt like he hadn’t been scrolling for long when he heard the sound of the front door unlocking.

A moment later, Pan Kejia walked in, still in her high heels.

When she saw Chen Mo sitting on the sofa, she didn’t even bother to change her shoes. She just dropped her bag and threw herself into his arms.
