Chapter 1537 Watching Over the River - Underworld Post Office
Upon hearing this, Chen Mu gave the editor-in-chief a strange shrug and said, "Look, we don't have any small rooms in Wangjiang City. You won't have anywhere to stay even if you want to."
These slightly pretentious words, to the editor-in-chief's strange ears, didn't sound pretentious at all.
The editor-in-chief was so excited that his eyes were a little moist.
The other strange creatures behind them were all the same.
Seeing is believing. Mr. Chen and Wangjiang Shouwang, whom I met in person, were a hundred times better than what they wrote in their interviews and reports!
In an environment where everyone lives in a large, single-level apartment, Chen Mu's choice to live in a small villa is already a testament to his financial independence.
This is why, despite owning a small villa and a luxurious resort suite, Chen Mu's employees in Wangjiang City still felt that he lived a very frugal life.
Chen Mu raised his hand, signaling the strange creatures to be quiet.
The strange creatures immediately shut up and looked up, all staring at Boss Chen.
As long as the benefits are sufficient, orders can be strictly followed in a company.
Chen Mu said, "From now on, the Underworld Post Office will be merged into Wangjiang Watch, becoming Wangjiang Watch's propaganda center and post office."
The name "Underworld Post Office" will be retained, along with its original staff. Everyone will continue to perform their duties and handle the previous tasks.
Retaining the name of the Underworld Post Office is also Chen Mu's way of returning the favor to the Lord of Time and Space.
At the amusement park, the Lord of Time and Space gave Chen Mu ample face. Chen Mu also left him a name, preserving a lingering memory.
The editor-in-chief quickly replied in a strange tone, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, with such good treatment, we will definitely work hard for you!"
We brothers here have always worked 24/7. At our Wangjiang watchtower, it's still 24/7, we're on call anytime, and sleeping at our workstations is no problem at all!
Upon hearing this, Chen Mu became displeased.
"Stop, stop, stop. Working 24 hours a day? Wouldn't it be a waste for me to allocate you with such large apartments? At Wangjiang Shouwang, we don't have such an outrageous work system."
The editor-in-chief realized he had misspoke and quickly corrected himself, "Mr. Chen, what I meant was that we are working normally."
But once home, their phones are on all day, ready for work instructions at any time. Even at two or three in the morning, we can…
"Stop, stop, this is getting more and more absurd." Chen Mu cleared his throat and said:
"At our Wangjiang Watchtower, we only work eight hours a day."
These eight hours include a two-hour lunch break.
This also includes the time spent commuting home after get off work. If you start work at 9:00 AM, it means you need to be at the company by 9:00 AM. So, if you finish get off work at 5:00 PM, it means you need to be home by 5:00 PM.
At Wangjiang Shouwang, "9 to 5" means arriving at the company at 9:00 AM, having a two-hour lunch break, starting work at 2:00 PM, having afternoon tea at 3:00 PM, leaving get off work at 4:30 PM, and arriving home at 5:00 PM.
Besides, your job isn't an emergency response department. You don't need to be on call 24/7. After get off work, you must turn off your phone and are not allowed to disturb colleagues who are leaving get off work.
By the way, we currently have three days off per week. We've started promoting a four-day work week with three days off.
Upon hearing Chen Mu's words, the strange editors present all exchanged bewildered glances.
Having been exploited for so long at the Underworld Post Office, I'm finding it hard to adjust to suddenly being here at Wangjiang Watch.
One eccentric editor said, "A reader once asked me to interview Wangjiang Shouwang about his working hours. I used a fabricated interview method and made up a 9-to-5 job with weekends off."
The person I induced to be interviewed at the time looked incredulous.
Now I finally understand why it's unbelievable. It turns out the people being interviewed have even better rest and benefits than this.
All the lies I concocted and the fabricated job benefits I made up actually couldn't compare to the real perks of the job at Wangjiang Shouwang.
Being treated so well made the editor-in-chief feel a little guilty.
The editor-in-chief couldn't help but whisper to Boss Chen, "Boss Chen, isn't this working time too short? I'm worried they won't be able to produce much work and will end up bankrupting our company."
"Or I can be the bad guy and make them work overtime, and I'll say it was me who made them work overtime."
Chen Mu smiled and shook his head, "These working hours are not short at all. Three hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. A full five hours a day."
Think about it. You were on call 24/7 at the Underworld Post Office. But you only actually worked a few hours a day, right? The rest of the time, were you either slacking off or working overtime to impress the boss?
If that's the case, why not shorten the time and make better use of those 5 hours? Five hours is already the limit for a person to concentrate on work all day.
Chen Mu values efficiency over time, and to some extent, he is indeed quite exploitative.
He expects his employees to dedicate their most energetic five hours each day to working for him, willingly and wholeheartedly!
The remaining time is for employees to rest freely. Because rest itself is also a way to build up energy for the next five hours.
The efficiency achieved through this kind of pressing is many times better than simply letting time accumulate.
The editor-in-chief was strangely moved by Chen Mu's words.
He exclaimed excitedly, "Boss Chen has given everyone such great working conditions. If anyone doesn't work their butt off and produce high-quality reports, I'll be the first to object!"
"Yes, I won't agree either!"
"I'll be the first to report anyone who slacks off while doing their job."
"Those who slack off while working are really despicable. Oh no, this is the first time I've empathized with my boss."
The editors, one by one, spoke with righteous indignation.
He only works five hours a day at most. If he can still slack off, Chen Mu doesn't even need to supervise him; his own people will find out.
Chen Mu clapped his hands and said, "Why are you so excited? Such good working conditions? I only mentioned the basics, I haven't even talked about the working conditions yet."
Regarding specific work benefits, each of you will receive a basic salary of 30,000 ghost money per month. Performance bonuses, full attendance bonuses, and travel allowances will be calculated separately, with a total annual allowance of no less than 500,000 ghost money.
And don't worry about the medical insurance that might frighten you at the hospital; it will be automatically arranged.
I'll have Midnight Hotel send over a few chefs later; lunch will be provided free of charge in the cafeteria.
Chen Mu rattled off all the benefits of his job.
For the employees of Wangjiang Shouwang, this is all commonplace.
But for newcomers, everyone's first reaction upon hearing this is to go crazy with excitement.
Chen Mu had gotten used to it.
As expected, after the announcement, the entire office erupted in thunderous cheers.
Chen Mu patted Wild Wanderer on the shoulder and said, "Little Wanderer, from now on, the Underworld Post Office is in your hands. You are the editor-in-chief of the Underworld Post Office, responsible for managing the important task of publicity on my behalf."
Upon hearing this, the wilderness wanderer's eyes widened in surprise.
Boss, this is... a promotion for me!
