Post-2000 boss: You can be late up to seven days a week!

Chapter 200 The first customer of Cuttlefish Bookstore.

Pang Panghai couldn't help being stunned when he heard Cao Che's words.

"Reading activity?"

"Would it be too much of a loss for us to do this?"

Pang Panghai couldn't help but look weird. Originally, the bookstore basically borrowed books for free and was holding an event to give out money.

Doesn’t that mean it’s impossible to make a profit purely?

"Loss? This is a good thing that benefits the present and will benefit the future. How can it be measured in terms of money?"

Cao Che looked at Pang Panghai and shook his head in despair.

"Anyway, if you just give me a charter, it can be regarded as attracting traffic to the bookstore!"

With that said, Cao Che patted Pang Hai on the shoulder and left happily.

In the evening, Cuttlefish Restaurant.

Qiao Bo came here to eat as usual and sat by the window with a plate of rice.

As a result, looking at the books each employee held, his brows suddenly furrowed.

He looked at Bai Chen in front of him with a strange expression.

"Brother Bai, has your company started assessing KPIs recently?"

Bai Chen subconsciously raised his head while holding a copy of "Consciousness of Writing Style".

"No! Our company never assesses KPIs. Why do you ask?"

Qiao Bo's face was full of weirdness: "Then why is everyone holding a book in their hands?"

"You're talking about this! Mr. Cao recently opened a bookstore where you can borrow books for free!"

Qiao Bo was still a little puzzled: "Even if you borrow books for free, everyone is reading them. Isn't this too exaggerated?"

"We get bonuses when we read books and learn things. For example, if the people in my art group master the skills of the text and programming groups, by the end of the quarter, they can get more than half a month's salary!"

"Eh?"

When Qiao Bo heard this, he was stunned subconsciously and looked at Bai Chen in disbelief.

"You guys are reading books, and your boss actually gives you money?"

"But this doesn't seem to be easy to assess, right? Is it possible to write a review after reading it?"

Bai Chen looked at Qiao Bo and rolled his eyes.

"If you need any assessment, just report it directly!"

"Aren't you afraid that someone will cheat?"

"This is the noble thing about Mr. Cao. Besides, if someone cheats, I'm afraid there is no need to report it to Mr. Cao. It will be too late for the surrounding colleagues to report!"

"Mr. Cao treats us so well, who would do this?"

"If you earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month and it's easy to work without having to work overtime every day, will you secretly take the company's money?"

Qiao Bo nodded somewhat suddenly.

"It seems to be the same..."

Bai Chen looked at Qiao Bo in front of him and couldn't help but recommend his own bookstore.

"Why don't you go to the bookstore and check it out? Our bookstore allows you to borrow books for free within seven days. Even if the seven days are up, you can borrow them right away after you return them."

When Qiao Bo heard this, his expression that had just calmed down immediately became weird again.

"If there is such a thing, then how does the bookstore make money?"

Bai Chen shrugged:

"Mr. Cao said that we don't rely on the bookstore to make money. If we just borrow books, it will be a public welfare."

"The purpose is to let nearby office workers study more. After all, the company's long overtime work is depriving us of the qualification to study."

Qiao Bo showed a look of surprise on his face, but he was not in a hurry to agree to Bai Chen.

Instead, he nodded thoughtfully and couldn't help but sigh:

"Mr. Cao's state of mind is really beyond the comprehension of ordinary people..."

If it is to benefit oneself at the expense of others, then Qiao Bo can still understand.

But if someone is said to benefit others at the expense of himself, I am afraid that most people will think that this person is a fool.

How can it harm oneself or benefit others?

In this society where work is getting busier and life is getting more and more depressing, everyone has become a sophisticated egoist.

It is very difficult for them to understand Cao Che's thoughts.

Bai Chen also knew this and didn't force it. He just sat by the window and looked down at the Cuttlefish Bookstore below. "In that case, forget it, I also want to tell you that the breakfast sold in the bookstore is made by the master chef in our cafeteria..."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Bo immediately sat up and looked at Bai Chen with golden eyes.

"Brother Bai! What you said is true???"

"The breakfast sold in the bookstore is actually made by the chef in your cafeteria?"

Bai Chen held the book in his hand and nodded calmly.

"Of course, I saw with my own eyes that Brother Hai came to ask for help from the master in our cafeteria!"

"But, aren't you not very interested in bookstores?"

With a playful smile on his face, Bai Chen looked at Qiao Bo in front of him.

Qiao Bo's face didn't turn red and his heart didn't beat.

"Nonsense! What I love most in my life is studying. If anyone doesn't let me study, I will fight to the death!"

……

Ten p.m.

At this moment, the employees of the bookstore have gone off work, leaving only Pang Panghai sitting alone at his desk.

He stared outside with dull eyes, wanting to see what he could see.

Migrant workers working overtime in nearby office buildings also finished their day's work.

However, no one seems to be interested in this newly opened bookstore at all.

Pangdahai encountered a setback on the first day it opened its store, and sighed helplessly.

Just as he was about to lock the door and get off work, a pleasant female voice came from behind.

"that."

Pang Panghai subconsciously turned around and looked back. It was a tall girl wearing OL.

The girl seemed to have trotted all the way to get here, her face was a little rosy, she looked at the huge sea in front of her, and she shyly pushed her hair behind her ears.

"Um, is this a bookstore?"

Perhaps sensing Pang Panghai's fiery gaze, the other party was a little shy and opened his mouth to relieve the embarrassment. .

After hearing the girl's question, Pang Panghai raised his head and glanced around with a strange expression.

There are books nearby. If it’s not a bookstore, why is it a hot pot restaurant?

The girl also noticed Pang Panghai's strange gaze and coughed a few times.

"I will buy books!"

"You can see what you want to buy yourself, or you can just search and I will pick it up for you!"

Pang Panghai handed the girl in front of him a tablet.

The girl shook her head and refused: "No, I'll take a look first!"

The girl was an office worker nearby. Due to some reasons, she forgot important materials for tomorrow's meeting in the office.

I didn't remember it until I got home, and ran all the way here, waiting for my colleagues to bring me the keys.

It's completely dark now, and since it's an office area, there aren't many people nearby.

The darkness made her feel a little scared. Driven by fear, she walked into the bookstore and waited.

The girl walked around for a few times and found that the first floor seemed to be filled with books that looked very boring.

Finally, among this pile of books, I found a Crayon Shin-chan book that I like to read.

Not knowing who put it here, the girl silently picked it up and walked to the counter.

"This. I want to buy this..."

Pang Panghai looked at the Crayon Shin-chan in the girl's hand and recommended very responsibly:

"This! You don't need to buy this. You can borrow it directly. There is no charge for seven days. I recommend you to rhythm a whole set of comics!"

"Eh?"

When the girl heard this, she was stunned.

This was the first time in China that she heard that a complete set of comics could be borrowed without even paying.
