My buildings have attributes

After contacting the management of the office building, Chen Ling rented 350 square meters on the 25th floor as his company's office space.

After signing the contract, paying the money, and getting the access card, Chen Ling went to the commercial street for dinner and then watched a movie.

The movie was actually quite good, but unfortunately, he was surrounded by couples, which seriously affected his viewing experience. Even when he ate popcorn, it tasted like dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), which was very unpleasant.

After watching the movie, Chen Ling returned to his office building.

At this time, most companies had already closed for the day, and the 25th floor was completely deserted.

"System, decorate the office to the highest standard, with a minimalist and modern style," Chen Ling commanded the system.

Instantly, 20 yuan was deducted from Chen Ling's account by the system.

Virtual projection appeared, and as the projection solidified, the office was also decorated.

"Perfect office renovation complete, office attributes generated... Generation complete, office attributes are as follows: Work efficiency +30, Energy +25, Bromance +35."

Holy crap...

Chen Ling was devastated after seeing the last attribute.

That attribute is absolutely awful.

"System, replace the last attribute."

Chen Ling had no choice but to replace the last attribute; otherwise, he wouldn't dare keep the office, as he didn't know when he'd be taken advantage of.

Instantly, the system deducted another 10 from Chen Ling.

Unfortunately, changing attributes costs money.

If this were someone else's office, Chen Ling wouldn't have spent this money, but unfortunately it's his own company, so there's nothing he can do.

"Attribute replacement complete. The newly generated attribute is 'Attract Spy' +30."

To attract spies?

Can the system also make typos?

Is there any other explanation for this attribute?

Chen Ling looked at the newly generated attributes and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Chen Ling decided that it was fine as it was, as long as it wasn't a particularly bizarre or negative attribute, then it was fine.

The next day, Wu Hai arrived at the company with a group of elite investigators.

"Mr. Chen, these are the people I recruited yesterday," Wu Hai said to Chen Ling, leading a group of people.

"Wait a minute... Liu Yuyang, how did you sneak in?" Chen Ling was a little confused when he saw Liu Yuyang in the crowd.

“Mr. Chen, I’ve already looked into Liu Yuyang’s situation. He’s not the finance manager, but a field staff member who runs errands and does odd jobs. He can even be the boss’s driver or bodyguard,” Wu Hai explained.

"Running errands, doing odd jobs, driving, bodyguard? Are you sure?" Chen Ling looked at Liu Yuyang and said speechlessly.

“Yes, boss, I’ve decided to work for you. I believe you’ll see my talent,” Liu Yuyang nodded and said.

At this moment, Chen Ling suddenly thought of the third attribute of an office: it attracts spies and gossip.

If someone as talented as Liu Yuyang insists on working for him, even doing errands and odd jobs, then he must have some ulterior motive.

Chen Ling gave Liu Yuyang a deep look.

My eyes have confirmed it; you're someone with ill intentions.

However, Chen Ling was not afraid. Since you want to run errands and do odd jobs, then so be it. I don't believe you can do anything earth-shattering under my nose.

"Okay, then you can stay. Everyone else, go about your business. There's nothing much going on at the company right now, so get familiar with things first, and I'll arrange things later." After saying that, Chen Ling turned around and went back to his office.

He didn't give his employees any motivational speeches; he simply told them to stay if they wanted, and leave if they didn't.

He is the core of the company. As long as there is a system and projects can be secured, these employees are essentially dispensable.

Half an hour later, Chen Ling was having a headache searching online for publicly available information on key engineering personnel. Then he suddenly realized that he wasn't alone and that he could delegate this task to someone else.

"Secretary, come in here." Chen Ling picked up the phone and gave the order casually.

bang bang bang...

Soon, there was a knock on the door of Chen Ling's office.

"Please come in," Chen Ling said calmly, adopting the air of a boss.

"Mr. Chen, I am your secretary, Chen Mengyao."

The young lady who walked in smiled sweetly at Chen Ling and then spoke.

"Okay, tell Liu Yuyang to go to the construction area and find out about the current projects for officially recognized talents," Chen Ling said without looking up.

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll go and inform them right away." Chen Mengyao nodded and turned to leave.

After Chen Mengyao left, Chen Ling suddenly felt that it would be better to change the third attribute to +35 infatuation.

Chapter Eleven: Working Wholeheartedly

Liu Yuyang, who was cleaning, went to the construction area to inquire about information after receiving a notification from Chen Mengyao.

I, such an outstanding talent, an elite investigator, have been reduced to doing menial tasks, and I even feel quite enthusiastic about it, it's unbelievable.

Liu Yuyang was devastated. Only after leaving the office building did he realize that he had actually been doing menial tasks, and doing them with great enthusiasm. This company was toxic.

Upon arriving at the construction area, Liu Yuyang found the boss and took out the investigators' notebook.

"Compile a list of all the engineering information for the talents here; I'm taking it with me later," Liu Yuyang said arrogantly.

"Okay, boss, please wait a moment," the regional manager said respectfully.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the regional manager of the construction area has a higher position than Liu Yuyang. Their positions are different. If Liu Yuyang wanted to get him, he could put him in jail in no time. These days, everyone has a dirty secret.

So Liu Yuyang sat in the boss's office like an old man, turning on the computer and playing Minesweeper.

Meanwhile, the regional manager of the construction area hurriedly went to organize the documents. He couldn't ask anyone else for help because Liu Yuyang said it was a public secret and only he could handle it personally.

More than half an hour later, the boss returned to his office, covered in sweat, carrying a stack of documents.

"Boss, this is the information about our company's current talent development program," the boss said to Liu Yuyang with a smile.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Remember, I wasn't here today, and you've never seen me before. If you see me again, just pretend you don't know me, understand?" Liu Yuyang took the documents and nodded.

"It's not hard work, I understand, I understand," the boss quickly nodded in reply.

Liu Yuyang took the documents and returned to the company, a round trip of less than an hour and a half.

After Chen Ling received the materials from Chen Mengyao, he was quite satisfied with Liu Yuyang's work efficiency.

"Mr. Chen, would you like coffee or tea?" Chen Mengyao asked quickly as she saw Chen Ling getting ready to work.

"Um...do I have these things in my office?" Chen Ling asked, pausing for a moment.

"Mr. Chen, these were all purchased by the receptionist just now," Chen Mengyao explained.

"Oh, then make me a cup of tea," Chen Ling nodded and said.

Sipping tea and looking at the information on engineering talents in the construction area gave Chen Ling a feeling of being a winner in life.

Indeed, this is the correct way to proceed after obtaining the system.

However, Chen Ling preferred playing games to working.

Thinking of this, Chen Ling put down the documents in his hand and said to Chen Mengyao, "Take these project information and calculate them. Calculate the construction cost of each project and the estimated bid amount. After you have done the calculations, summarize them here for me."

"Mr. Chen, we haven't hired an actuary, have we?" Chen Mengyao said, a little confused.

Chen Ling was stunned for a moment after hearing this. After thinking about it, he realized that his company had not hired a dedicated actuary, nor had it hired any employees with a background in architecture.

HR, administration, reception, and finance positions all seem unsuitable for this job.

Wait... we forgot one person. Liu Yuyang used to be a finance manager and he can also falsify accounts. Actuaries are also finance professionals. Why not just let him do the calculations?

"No need for an actuary, just give it to Liu Yuyang, he'll definitely do it," Chen Ling said nonchalantly.

Running errands and doing odd jobs is too easy for a finance manager. Since he came with bad intentions, of course we should give him something to do and not let him be idle.

“Okay, Mr. Chen,” Chen Mengyao nodded.

After receiving a stack of documents, Liu Yuyang was not overwhelmed; on the contrary, he was very happy because he finally had something to do.

The others had no interest in Liu Yuyang's affairs; they were all busy with their own things.

Even Chen Mengyao, after handing the documents to Liu Yuyang, returned to Chen Ling's office and started cleaning and wiping tables; she just couldn't stay idle.

Although Chen Ling wasn't working, he wasn't idle either; he was busy playing games.

For some reason, Chen Ling felt he was in excellent form today, playing games like a god and having a lot of fun.

Soon, the day was over.

When it was time to leave work, Chen Ling shut down his computer and walked out of the office.

Holy crap...

What's happening here?

The area outside the office was completely different from when he arrived in the morning.

In the morning, although the office was renovated, many things were missing, such as printers, water dispensers, A4 paper, company rules and regulations forms, and so on.

But now, the office walls are covered with several company rule-making forms, performance attendance forms, employee salary levels and welfare systems, as well as current work arrangements and schedules. There are now water dispensers and several potted plants in the corner of the office, and printers, filing cabinets and other office supplies on the desks.

"Alright, everyone stop working, it's time to go home," Chen Ling said to the group who were still busy.

"Ah... it's time to leave work already. I haven't finished the employee training and assessment module yet."

"Yes, I've only finished half of the office procedures and systems."

"Me too, we've only completed one-third of the construction cost calculations."

A group of employees said they hadn't finished their work yet, which meant they wanted to work overtime.

"Don't rush, there's work to be done tomorrow. That's all for today, time to go home." Chen Ling was very satisfied with his employees' performance.

After telling all the employees to leave, Chen Ling was the last to lock the door.

As soon as Chen Ling got on the elevator, his stomach suddenly started growling.

This time it wasn't diarrhea, it was hunger.
