CHAPTER 884: CHAPTER 676: AWKWARD

Su Mo felt a warmth inside upon hearing this, and he said to Qian Chengxue, "Well, I heard from Zhao Han that you haven’t slept for two days and haven’t been eating much. No matter how busy you are, you shouldn’t overwork yourself."

"It’s fine, I’ve injected the Genetic Potion, it’s not a big deal."

Qian Chengxue shook her head and explained.

"Still, that’s not okay. You have to eat no matter how busy you are."

Su Mo shook his head and advised.

Seeing Su Mo’s concern, Qian Chengxue said, "How about we go eat together?"

"Sure, we can talk while we eat."

Su Mo nodded in agreement.

Then Su Mo and Qian Chengxue pushed open the office door and walked out.

Sun Li and others saw them coming out and immediately stopped whispering, burying themselves in work,

as if they hadn’t been gossiping.

Qian Chengxue looked at her many sisters, smiled, and said, "Alright, everyone take a break, let’s go eat together."

Hearing Qian Chengxue’s words, Sun Li and the others cheered.

"Sister Xue is the best."

.....

Before long, Su Mo and the others reached the dining area. It was actually just a cleared space on the second floor with simple folding chairs.

It could barely fit everyone.

Then pots of braised pork cabbage with vermicelli and steamed buns were brought in. Everyone took two buns and managed with the food.

Su Mo looked at the meal, eyes wide, and asked Qian Chengxue, "Is the company really tight on funds now?"

"We are a bit tight, but it’s manageable."

Qian Chengxue didn’t deny it.

At this moment, Sun Li said with a smile, "Even though the company is tight on funds, we are not that poor. It’s just that the company is in a growth phase, so we all agreed to economize in every aspect and invest all funds in production. Once we get through this, we’ll all succeed."

"Oh, I heard from Zhao Han that the company plans to bid on a big contract?"

Su Mo remembered and asked.

Qian Chengxue nodded and said, "The Federation has a major procurement plan this time, which includes military equipment, special medical protective gear, etc. Just this part of the contract is worth about 5 billion Star Coins, and that’s where we specialize."

"How’s the profit?"

Su Mo asked curiously.

"The profits are quite good, but compared to other companies, we don’t have a significant advantage. So we have to make concessions on price, which means we need to compress costs as much as possible while ensuring quality. That’s why Sister Xue is working hard to reduce costs bit by bit."

Sun Li explained carefully.

"If we can secure this contract, we’ll be successful. You know, Sister Xue put in a lot of effort just to get the bidding qualification."

Tang Yao said with great anticipation.

"Actually, the deal isn’t set, but I think the odds are pretty good. I’ve analyzed our products and our competitors’, and the advantages are clear, so I’m confident."

Qian Chengxue was full of confidence in their products.

"I’ll help out too, though I’m not sure what I can do to help."

Su Mo scratched his head and said.

"There’s always something. Once we win the bid, you can handle the delivery."

Qian Chengxue smiled, having already planned something for Su Mo.

"That’s not a problem."

Su Mo agreed readily.

"Sister Xue, Su Mo just arrived, and you already have plans for him. Did you know he was coming?"

Sun Li teased, winking.

"Right! Sister Xue, when did you two get together?"

All the sisters curiously asked.

Qian Chengxue coughed and told everyone, "Alright, stop asking so many questions, let’s eat and then get back to pricing. The bidding is tomorrow, and it has to succeed. Are you all confident?"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded eagerly.

Su Mo felt unprecedentedly happy seeing everyone’s confidence.

He was increasingly hopeful for the future.

...

Around midnight, Su Mo sat yawning in a corner of the meeting room, quietly waiting.

The room was filled with draft papers.

At this moment, Sun Li excitedly shouted, "Done, the bid documents are finished."

"Finally done."

Tang Yao and others were exhausted.

Qian Chengxue addressed her many sisters, "Thank you all for your hard work during this time. After the bidding, we’ll celebrate together."

"Okay."

The sisters responded, smiling brightly.

Qian Chengxue then took out her phone to check the time, saying, "It’s pretty late, everyone prepare to rest."

"Okay!"

Everyone responded and went to a nearby cabinet to take out rolled-up mats and quilts, spreading them on the floor.

Su Mo was stunned by this scene and asked Qian Chengxue, "Everyone sleeps here?"

"Yes, the housing price in Star Ring City is too high, we can’t afford it. So we camp in the office, but even then, space is limited. Everyone’s sleeping spot is planned out. I’ll get a spot ready for you; wait here."

Qian Chengxue explained to Su Mo.

"Uh, okay."

Su Mo replied, a bit dazed.

It wasn’t long before Qian Chengxue set up Su Mo’s spot; their spots were next to each other, with Sun Li and Tang Yao around them.

Almost all high executives were camping in the meeting room.

Su Mo felt a bit uncomfortable but didn’t say anything.

The women present didn’t mind his presence, so he had no objections.

After a while, Su Mo finished washing up and climbed into his bed.

At this time, he heard rustling around him. Many women were curling up in their blankets, taking off their outer clothes and getting into bed.

Su Mo swallowed hard and asked Qian Chengxue, lying beside him, "Uh, is it okay for me to sleep here? It feels like it’s inconvenient for the others. Should I move somewhere else?"

"The company moved here in a hurry and is in a rush to bid. The first batch of employees was ninety-nine percent female, so it doesn’t matter where you sleep."

Qian Chengxue said with a hint of a smile on her lips.

"Uh, alright then."

Su Mo thought about what Qian Chengxue said and realized he had only seen women since joining the company.

"I mean, Su Mo, we didn’t mind, what are you worried about? If you feel bad, why not tell us how you won over Sister Xue? We didn’t have a clue."

Sun Li’s curiosity was unstoppable.

With Sun Li taking the lead, the sisters who were about to sleep turned over and lay on their stomachs, curiously asking.

"Yeah, how did you win over Sister Xue?"
