Stronger by Paying Salaries and I Have 1 Billion Employees

He had just walked out of the first-floor lobby of Building 9 when he heard the sound of suppressed sobs coming from a corner.

’Who’s that? Wailing like that in the middle of the night?’

Chen Yansen frowned slightly and walked unhurriedly toward the sound of the crying.

By the campus fence, he saw a young man in his early twenties squatting, an Orange Pay ID badge hanging around his neck.

It was pitch-black and the light was dim.

Chen Yansen suddenly spoke up. ”Trouble at home?”

Zhang Peng was so startled he fell and landed on his butt. It was too dark to see Chen Yansen’s face, so he assumed it was a colleague from another department. ”Dude, do you walk without making a sound?” he said irritably.

”Maybe you were too engrossed in your crying,” Chen Yansen teased.

Although the man’s sobs were soft and low, Chen Yansen’s hearing, even when suppressed with his Spiritual Power, could still pick them up with perfect clarity.

”...” Zhang Peng was mortified, wishing the concrete would swallow him whole.

A man in his twenties, crying his eyes out... it was truly embarrassing, especially being caught by a colleague.

”Heartbroken?” Chen Yansen glanced at him and asked with certainty.

”Sigh... I guess so,” Zhang Peng said, remaining seated on the ground.

His thinking was that since it was dark and the other guy couldn’t see his face, there was no shame to be lost. He might as well just give up completely.

With a look of disdain, Chen Yansen casually asked, ”I guess so? Don’t tell me you fell in love with a married woman, kid.”

”No, man! You’re way too nosy.” Zhang Peng wanted to get up and slap him.

Chen Yansen saw right through Zhang Peng’s thoughts. ’This crybaby subordinate has quite a temper,’ he mused.

He had been about to say, ”If you’re going to cry, do it at home. Don’t scare your colleagues at the company.”

But just as he was about to turn away, the words came pouring out of Zhang Peng like spilled beans. ”My girlfriend is thirty-three. She’s ten years older than me. I want to marry her, but my dad says I’m crazy.”

”Your dad... isn’t wrong,” Chen Yansen said, stopping in his tracks to offer his ”gentle” comfort.

”Dude, you should just go,” Zhang Peng gasped, so angry he could barely breathe.

He suspected the person in front of him wasn’t even a Senlian Capital employee.

After all, employees hired by Senlian Capital were known to have decent IQs and EQs.

But every word out of this guy’s mouth was like a dagger twisting in his heart.

”Just kidding, trying to lighten the mood. It’s only ten years. I don’t think it’s a problem,” Chen Yansen added.

”You really think so?” Zhang Peng’s eyes lit up, and he instantly felt much better.

”I used to have a girlfriend who was eight years older than me. I actually really wanted to marry her,” Chen Yansen said with a soft laugh.

”Used to? Did you break up?” Zhang Peng pressed.

”She thought I was too poor and married a rich businessman from Hong Kong Island,” Chen Yansen replied.

”Well, you’ve got it worse than me, then. At least my girlfriend loves me,” Zhang Peng said with a chuckle.

”...” Chen Yansen had to physically restrain his right leg to keep from kicking him.

”Alright, that’s enough. Stop crying at the company. Anyone who didn’t know better would think the place was haunted.”

Chen Yansen grumbled with a dark expression, then waved his hand dismissively and headed toward the parking lot.

”None of your damn business!” Zhang Peng muttered. He could tell this guy’s words were harsh, but he didn’t seem to have any bad intentions.

The corner of Chen Yansen’s mouth twitched. He took a deep breath and made a mental note to mind his own business next time.

”Boss.” Seeing Chen Yansen approach, Huang Boxiang quickly opened the car door for him.

”Back to the Delta,” Chen Yansen instructed.

With Lao Huang on the job, Xiaoli also had time to rest. The two worked in shifts, which made things much easier.

”Understood.” Huang Boxiang cherished this job. Heeding Xiaoli’s advice, he was well aware of the importance of speaking little and keeping his mouth shut, saying as little as possible.

Meanwhile.

The Senlian Star Shining Card’s official Weibo account synchronized its sales progress. A total of ten million phone cards sold in just twelve days. The news gave the three major telecom operators quite a shock.

When Penguin and Ah Li heard the news, they instantly felt they had been right to copy the idea!
