Chapter 666: Strange Mother-in-Law

Considering Chu Ning's mother's strong dissatisfaction, Chen Yang reassigned the six bodyguards. Besides leaving two to guard the house, the remaining four followed Chen Yang and Chu Ning respectively.

However, this weakened the strength used against Yu Wenlong in the Legend Private Server Game.

To keep Yu Wenlong enthusiastic about the game, Chen Yang, while Chu Ning accompanied her mother to tour Xingcheng, set up two vacant apartments in Sunshine Garden Community as game rooms.

Besides that, he had the bodyguards recruit over a dozen teenagers who liked playing the Legend Private Server Game from Chen Bing's internet cafe as new manpower.

In addition to providing food and lodging, they were given a monthly wage of three thousand.

Under the influence of money, Chen Yang's power in the game once again suppressed Yu Wenlong.

Then Yu Wenlong increased the game's recharge amount.

One day later, Chu Ning's mother requested to visit Chen Yang's company in Xingcheng.

Chen Yang did not refuse, and took mother and daughter to tour the Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company and Heavenly Opening Pharmaceutical.

After that, Chu Ning's mother left Xingcheng. Even after Chen Yang saw her off onto the plane, she expressed no opinion about Chen Yang and Chu Ning's relationship.

"Dear, what exactly is your mother's attitude toward me?"

"She acknowledged your career achievements, that's all." Regarding mother's hurried coming and going, Chu Ning remained calm, as if already accustomed to this way of interacting.

"Then can we still be together?" Chen Yang doesn't need anyone's approval of his career; he cares more about his relationship with Chu Ning.

Chu Ning gave Chen Yang a sideways glance and said unhappily, "What are you worried about? I'm right here."

Chen Yang laughed: "I've heard that love not blessed by elders has a low chance of happiness. So I still hope to gain their approval."

Chu Ning sighed: "Then you'll be disappointed. I've been rebellious since childhood; I dislike what they like, and I'm interested in what they don't like. For example, you—they don't like you."

Chen Yang retorted indignantly: "I'm at least a tall, rich, handsome guy, yet they look down on me. What kind of eyes do they have?!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning chuckled and said: "I'll relay your words to them word for word."

Chen Yang also gave her a glance, feigning dissatisfaction: "Heartless, can't you wish me well?"

Chu Ning lightly pinched Chen Yang and said, a little annoyed: "I said those two things just to get my mother to help you connect with the postal service. Since you think I'm heartless, I'll now call her to change her mind."

"No..." Upon hearing this, Chen Yang excitedly hugged Chu Ning. "Dear, I was wrong; you absolutely must not call your mother!"

Chu Ning forcefully pushed Chen Yang away, her beautiful eyes flashing angrily: "In public, don't you know to mind the impact?"

Chen Yang replied indifferently: "We're lovers; what's the problem with a hug?"

Chu Ning looked around, noticed a camera aimed at them, immediately pulled Chen Yang toward the car. Only after getting in did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Chen Yang said bewilderedly: "Dear, you're also a celebrity in Xingcheng, having been in the newspaper several times; what's the big deal about a few photos?"

Chu Ning said: "Being in the newspaper is for work. That doesn't mean my private life should be disturbed."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang decided to drop the topic. After all, he also doesn't like the media excessively scrutinizing his private life.

However, securing cooperation with the postal service is like adding wings to a tiger for the Old Hundreds E-commerce Platform's rural express delivery plan!

To reward Chu Ning's contributions, Chen Yang that night engaged in a lot of public grain.

Three days later, Shen Anna called Chen Yang to the office, saying she needed to go to the capital to discuss cooperation with the postal service's leadership, and asked him to temporarily take charge of headquarters affairs.

This news made Chen Yang extremely excited. After Shen Anna led her team to the capital, he deliberately called Chu Ning: "Dear, what does your mother like? I want to prepare a big gift for her to properly thank her for supporting the Old Hundreds E-commerce Platform."

On the other end of the phone, Chu Ning laughed: "My mother hopes you'll break up with me; are you willing to fulfill her wish?"

Chen Yang pretended the signal was bad and hung up directly.

He couldn't figure it out. Since this strange future mother-in-law doesn't want them together, why did she also help him connect with the postal service?

However, regardless of what they think, he still has to accept this favor. If they ever need anything in the future, he will certainly not be stingy.

Without Shen Anna for a day, Chen Yang was busy as a dog. Just handling the various documents submitted by the secretary already made him dizzy.

At this point, Chen Yang truly envied Yu Wenlong. He doesn't have to do anything, yet still has money spent on him.

He was about to go online using his game account to vent on Yu Wenlong when Luo Xue suddenly knocked and entered the office: "Boss, the E-commerce Customer Service Department, Online Sales Department, and Logistics Department have all been complaining to me about insufficient manpower; should we consider recruiting more fresh forces?"

Chen Yang thought for a moment and told her: "It's best for the Customer Service Department to hire some temporary workers online. Pay them the same as regular employees, letting them provide their own computers to work from home. This way they have flexible hours, we don't need to increase office space or equipment, and we can save quite a bit of cost."

Luo Xue thought Chen Yang's idea was outrageous, yet somehow also reasonable.

From the workers' perspective, they would definitely prefer working from home. After all, with no boss supervising, as long as they finish the task, they can do whatever they want—free and easy.

From the company's perspective, it not only saves office space and equipment, but also eliminates management hassles.

"Boss, if we let customer service work from home, how can we ensure their work is completed properly?"

Chen Yang said: "It's simple—establish a reward-and-punishment system. Those who fully complete their tasks receive their due pay plus appropriate bonuses as encouragement; those who don't complete tasks have money deducted from their wages; and those who fail to complete tasks normally for three consecutive months straight lose their customer service qualifications."

Luo Xue nodded. Having a reward-and-punishment system indeed provides some deterrent power.

"What about the Online Sales and Logistics Departments?"

Chen Yang said: "Our company's main business is agricultural products; we've already established stable online and offline sales channels in recent years, with no need to expand in the short term. I personally believe the e-commerce platform's future development should focus on improving user experience and after-sales service. Optimizing merchants' sales and promotion services, as well as consumers' shopping experience, is what needs to be solved most urgently."

"As for the Logistics Department, if it's to cooperate with the rural express delivery plan, we can appropriately increase staff according to each region's demand."

Luo Xue looked at Chen Yang, somewhat surprised. This boss, though usually hands-off, always manages to give constructive suggestions at critical moments.
