Chapter 356 - 176: Tax-Free for 2 Years, Half-Tax for 3

Chapter 356: Chapter 176: Tax-Free for 2 Years, Half-Tax for 3

"This is all thanks to Mr. Chen’s own efforts. Mr. Chen is quite an influential man himself."

The person in charge said this to Chen Mo with a knowing smile.

"Still, thank you very much for your support."

Hearing this, a flicker of surprise and confusion passed through Chen Mo’s eyes, but he kept a smile on his face as he thanked him.

It was obvious the man was implying something, but for the moment, Chen Mo didn’t know what he meant.

Afterward, the official kept copies of the documents they provided and said he would handle their tax procedures, filing, and so on.

After leaving the tax department, Chen Mo and the financial director rode back to the company in the corporate van.

"President Chen, the company won’t have any tax pressure for the next two years. Our funds will be much more abundant and flexible."

"If any good projects come up, we’ll have the capital to invest in a few more."

The financial director said to Chen Mo with some excitement.

Finance is all about finances, after all. If there’s no money in the accounts, not even a dog would want to be the financial director.

When the company had a lot of money on its books, Chen Mo was the happiest, and he was the second happiest.

Now that they had secured a preferential policy of two years tax-free and three years at a 50% reduction, it was absolutely fantastic news for the company’s finances.

Chen Mo just smiled at his words and said nothing.

’Once Jiang Huiyang’s project succeeds, will the company be short on money for investments?’

He was only worried about not having enough projects, never about not having enough money.

DING~

Just then, his phone chimed. He glanced at it and saw a WeChat message from Feng Yu.

"Did you go to the tax department? There’s a surprise for you. ;)"

Reading Feng Yu’s message, Chen Mo couldn’t help but be slightly taken aback.

’Taxes? A surprise?’

He recalled the knowing words the official had just said.

’Could the "influence" the man mentioned be related to Feng Yu?’

’Otherwise, why would Feng Yu mention a surprise related to taxes?’

"Did you help?"

A flash of understanding crossed Chen Mo’s eyes. He had a good idea of what had happened.

"It wasn’t really helping. Didn’t you let me share in the credit? My family found out and decided to return the favor."

Feng Yu replied to his message quickly.

Reading Feng Yu’s reply, although she was being rather vague, Chen Mo understood what she was trying to say.

It was simply that last time, Chen Mo had called her first, allowing her to be the one to report the incident.

That, combined with her subsequent visit to the scene and so on, had allowed her to take some of the credit.

Feng Yu’s family must have heard about it from her and, as a return of favor, gave him a helping hand.

No wonder they had given him such a significant tax break, and no wonder the official had spoken so suggestively.

No wonder Feng Yu had told him there would be a surprise.

So that was what happened.

"Thanks."

Even so, Chen Mo smiled and typed out his thanks.

He just wondered if, in the future, when his company’s performance and profits exploded, the people at the tax department would go crying to her family in regret.

"I should be the one thanking you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had anything to do with it."

Seeing Feng Yu’s message, Chen Mo shook his head and smiled.

’She has a point.’

If he hadn’t called Feng Yu, Captain Li and his team would have taken over directly.

Feng Yu probably wouldn’t have even known about the incident, let alone been able to share in the credit.

"Then let’s just not thank each other."

Chen Mo smiled slightly and typed his reply.

"Okay. I’m busy with a case these few days. Want to go out and have some fun when I’m done?"

"Sure."

Seeing Feng Yu’s reply, Chen Mo smiled and agreed.

After chatting for a while, Chen Mo put down his phone.

A speculative glint flashed in his eyes. He guessed that the credit she received this time must have been very important to Feng Yu.

That’s why her family had gone out of their way to help him, returning the favor.

After returning to the company, the marketing director reported to him on the situation.

For instance, several waves of media had come, how she had handled them, what she had said, and so on.

"Not bad. You handled it well."

Chen Mo nodded, affirming her work.

"It’s what I’m supposed to do."

A smile appeared on the marketing director’s face, but her tone was very modest.

When you successfully complete a task your boss assigns you and leave him satisfied, you’re not far from a promotion and a raise.

After the marketing director left, he sent a WeChat message to Xu Xiyue, asking her to come to his office.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK~

Soon, Chen Mo heard a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Chen Mo put down his phone and looked toward the office door.

A moment later, Xu Xiyue opened the door and walked into his office.

And, quite obediently, she closed the office door behind her.

"President Chen, you were looking for me?"

Xu Xiyue stood before Chen Mo’s desk, wearing a beige silk blouse, a gray office-style pencil skirt, and black high heels.

"Come here."

Chen Mo leaned back in his chair and beckoned to her.

When she came over, he smiled and patted his lap.

Seeing this, Xu Xiyue’s beautiful eyes blinked as she understood Chen Mo’s meaning.

So, she placed one hand on Chen Mo’s shoulder and gently sat sideways on his lap.

She and Chen Mo had gradually developed a certain rapport; he only needed to pat his lap, and she knew what to do.

She didn’t mind this at all; she was completely willing.

"How is the Pentagonal Game Company’s project coming along?"

Chen Mo asked about the project’s progress.

At the same time, one of his hands wrapped around her slender, willow-like waist, while the other naturally began to ascend Mount Everest.

"It’s progressing very smoothly. With our capital injection, the development is moving forward quickly. Some of the more tedious and detailed work has been outsourced."

"According to Jiang Huiyang’s judgment, they should be able to finish this little game in about a week."

Xu Xiyue leaned sideways against Chen Mo’s chest naturally as she explained the project’s status.

She quite liked leaning in his arms; for some reason, it gave her a strange sense of security.

"It can be finished within a week? That’s pretty fast progress."

Surprise flickered in Chen Mo’s eyes upon hearing this.

But then he considered that the company had money now, so the time-consuming and tedious work could be outsourced.

That would indeed save a lot of time.

For example, things like some of the art assets and mock-ups. As long as they’re made according to their requirements, an outsourced team can produce the same results.

"Looks like it won’t be long before you’re offering yourself to me."

Chen Mo lifted her fair, soft chin, looked into her somewhat expectant, beautiful eyes, and said with a suggestive smile.

"I look forward to that day."

Xu Xiyue let him lift her chin, raising her head to look at him without blinking.

She wasn’t looking forward to offering herself, but to the project’s success.

Because only if the project succeeded would she offer herself to him in such a short time.

Otherwise, it would be at least after the agreed-upon three-month period.

"Then let’s have a rehearsal first."

Hearing this, Chen Mo couldn’t help but smile, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly.

He lowered his head directly and kissed her enticing, lipstick-coated red lips.

Xu Xiyue cooperated, wrapping her slender arms around his neck.

She began to respond with growing skill.
