I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 272 Everything is alright (56)

Overtime is an indispensable part of work and should not be ignored.

For thirty years at Fengdu University, Yan Ye worked as a teacher during the day, constantly trying to find ways to get those dead ghosts to graduate.

In the evening, I would go to the temple to serve as a temple keeper, constantly thinking about how to meet the requirements of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and gain merit to advance myself further.

How can you gain more magical power and win the favor of your boss if you don't work overtime!

How can the company grow and thrive without working overtime!

Without overtime work, how could Chenguang Co., Ltd. possibly become a large conglomerate like Tianyuan? How could everyone exploit and oppress other cities and become the overlord of Changsheng Prefecture?

If Chenguang Co., Ltd. doesn't aim for dominance, how can we go any further!
After a few drinks, Jiang Qiao slammed her hand on the table and said, "President Chen, you're being too lenient! We employees are ready to dedicate ourselves to Chenguang to the very end, why won't he give us that opportunity! Anyone who's worked in a big company knows that if the company doesn't improve, we can't improve either. If the company doesn't improve, it regresses! If the company regresses, we'll lose our jobs, and we'll lose those high-paying jobs! The company is like our second parents, what's wrong with us serving them! What's wrong with us working overtime!"

"you're right!"

Yan Ye also got excited, slamming her hand on the table and saying, "I had a vague feeling that something was wrong before, but you've really enlightened me, sister! The reason why Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is afraid of external gods is because he hasn't used us temple keepers to the death! If President Chen really treats us employees as human beings, then he'll treat us like livestock!"

"I knew you'd understand me! But what's this about Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"

"...Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about."

Xu Youran sipped the rice wine, feeling that the alcohol content wasn't very high.

Why did the two of them start acting crazy at dusk?

She pulled out her chopsticks, twirled the wine glass with the tips, and then asked, puzzled, "I just don't understand, why are you all so greedy? With salaries of two or three thousand, why are you risking your lives?"

Yan Ye was about to retort, but Jiang Qiao had already raised her head, stopped Yan Ye, and looked at Xu Youran, asking, "How much is your monthly salary?"

"I'm a Foundation Establishment expert, so my starting salary is at least 20,000!" Xu Youran said proudly. "Besides that, the temple of the Wood Star Lord also provides me with five social insurances and one housing fund, a benefit that ordinary people can't enjoy. In addition, I receive a food allowance of 150 yuan per day when I come to Tianyuan for business, which adds up to 25,000 yuan. With other miscellaneous subsidies, I end up with about 15,000 yuan!"

Jiang Qiao looked at Xu Youran and said indifferently, "My monthly salary is 12,000 yuan, and after taxes it's just over 10,000 yuan."

"...12,000 Qi Refining Mastery?"

Nodding, Jiang Qiao continued, "Overtime is not allowed. If someone is found working overtime, they will be forced to take time off in lieu of overtime pay."

"...No way!"

“You’ll be forced to leave once a month, then receive a month’s salary as compensation, and be rehired four days later.”

Xu Youran grabbed Yan Ye, who was standing next to her, and pointed at Jiang Qiao, laughing as she said, "Look at her, she's already talking nonsense... Tell me, she's talking nonsense!"

Yan Ye silently withdrew his hand, not wanting to talk to someone who wasn't an employee of Chenguang Company.

Jiang Qiao continued, "In addition, I also have project bonuses. My contribution to the previous 'Tianyuan Prosecutor' was 20%, so I received 20% of the dream revenue as a reward, which is 180,000 yuan."

"You're drunk! Tell me you're drunk!"

"This is my bonus payment notification."

Turning her head to look, Xu Youran said tremblingly, "Isn't it only 144,000?"

Looking at Xu Youran, Jiang Qiao's eyes were full of sympathy: "Large bonuses are subject to a 20% tax. You haven't received a large bonus before, have you?"

"Pfft." "And this is just for this month. With the sales of 'Tianyuan Prosecutor' continuing to rise, next month will only be more. The more President Chen earns, the more I earn. So, why don't you tell me I should work overtime?"

"Puff puff!"

"With this money, I bought my mother top-notch health care services, a large amount of qi and blood-nourishing herbs, and a full range of medical care in Fuzhe City. My mother was happy, and I was happy too."

"Ju, you're so filial!"

At this moment, Xu Youran saw that Jiang Qiao was glowing all over, with a strong aura of wealth and morality emanating from her, which even Xu Youran's Daoist aura could not withstand.

Looking at the 144,000 yuan in the other party's phone notification, she felt her Dao heart tremble.

Damn it, she'd never even seen a six-figure sum before!

Earning in a month what would normally be a year's worth of money—that kind of earning speed would probably make even the most powerful temple keeper envious.

How could she possibly withstand such a terrifying demon god!
Sensing that Xu Youran was starting to back down, Jiang Qiao chuckled and said softly, "Now tell me, should I risk my life?"

"I was wrong!"

Xu Youran dove down and grabbed Jiang Qiao's clothes, saying, "Fellow Daoist, save me! Tell me how I can gain the qualification to enter Chenguang! I have superb swordsmanship, outstanding abilities, I dare to fight, I have excellent conduct, and I'm also very good-looking. Please help me!"

“No problem, I’ll keep an eye on Mr. Chen’s hiring news for you. I’ll let you know as soon as a suitable position becomes available. However, you’re the temple keeper of the Wood Star Lord, this…”

"Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to do part-time work. I will definitely not let Fellow Daoist Jiang down!"

“You’re a promising young man. Now, let’s continue our discussion about working overtime. Today, let’s all share our opinions and think about how we can make Mr. Chen understand our good intentions and allow us to work overtime freely.”

"Why don't we kidnap President Chen, so he can't stop us from working overtime and just watch as we drive up the company's profits? He'll definitely be proud of us then."

"Great idea, write it down!"

"Let's look at it from another angle. If Mr. Chen doesn't allow us to work overtime at the company, then we can work overtime outside! As long as Mr. Chen doesn't know, isn't that the same as us not working overtime?"

"Yes, yes!"

The three of them got more and more excited and happy as they discussed, and then decided to find a place to continue drinking and chatting, and then continue working overtime for General Manager Chen!
While the three were chatting happily, Chen Yu, who was in his office thinking about updates, shivered.

Is another little devil trying to harm me?

But it's alright. I have an employee like Jiang Qiao to help me update my dreams, and a Foundation Establishment expert like Yan Ye to help me manage the overall situation. Even if some little devils are stabbing me in the back, I can still get through smoothly!
Now, all I need to do is work hard to update "Tianyuan Prosecutor" so that I can push my negative emotions to the limit as soon as possible and not repeat the same mistakes!

Chen Yu opened his phone and started browsing the strategy website for "Tianyuan Prosecutor," then nodded repeatedly.

This strategy website is one he recently discovered; it contains a wealth of strategy information, as well as all the data from the dream.

Every cultivator was exceptionally talented, and the strategies inside were numerous and excellent. They were able to outpace Chen Yu in many ways that he hadn't even considered, which surprised him greatly.

Besides these, they also had various other ideas, including realistic fantasies and scams. The content in the discussion forum was a huge treasure trove, which Chen Yu treasured. He constantly absorbed the information from it to update the imposter characteristics of "Tianyuan Prosecutor" and make the dream more interesting.

This effort paid off; as sales of Dreamland continued to rise, so did my negative emotions.

Moreover, the recent sudden increase in both negative and positive emotions has disappeared, and everything is getting better!
