Chapter 1515 This is a win-win-win situation! The Gate of Time and Space
Faced with the shrewd and extravagant demeanor, Chen Mu could only smile helplessly.
This method of delaying payment means that, in addition to the person repaying the debt, they also disappear without a trace, along with their assets.
To say that the person won't repay the debt is an overstatement, but Jingshezhizun didn't explicitly say they wouldn't. They've simply lost contact with the person; they didn't say they'd never repay it in this lifetime.
Even if they really wanted to pay it back, after turning to Boss Chen, hundreds of thousands of ghost money—would that even qualify as money?
This move by the supremely luxurious ruler is both offensive and defensive.
Aside from getting a few words of criticism from the Time and Space Lord, there's not much else to criticize.
As expected of the most tactful and siding lord in this bizarre apocalypse.
Chen Mu had rarely seen someone so extravagantly swindle people. He never expected that a single encounter would leave such a lasting impression.
Sensing the indignation of the Time-Space Sovereign, Chen Mu smiled and said:
"This incredibly wealthy man is currently my subordinate. I never imagined he would do something so underhanded."
Okay, as his boss, I'll make the decision for him.
Paying back debts is a matter of course!
I'll pay off the hundreds of thousands of ghost money he owes you!
In addition, I paid ten times the price to fulfill his promise to "give you a surprise".
This extra tenfold is the surprise I'm giving you on his behalf.
Upon hearing Chen Mu's words, the Lord of Time and Space was first taken aback, then felt somewhat embarrassed.
What angered the Supreme Being of Time and Space was that the Supreme Being of Extravagance had skipped out on the bill.
Although the current "Stunning Luxury" is Chen Mu's subordinate, when the debt was incurred, "Stunning Luxury" had nothing to do with Chen Mu.
Paying back debts is indeed a matter of course. But there's also the principle of "every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor."
As an outsider, how could Mr. Chen possibly involve innocent people?
The money owed by the Supreme Being of Extravagance was not something Chen Mu was obligated to repay.
Moreover, Chen Mu generously paid off the debt out of his own pocket and offered a 10-fold premium to fulfill his promise of unparalleled luxury.
This made the Lord of Time and Space even more embarrassed.
No matter what, that's still several million yuan in ghost money.
"Mr. Chen..."
Just as the Lord of Time and Space was about to refuse, Chen Mu interrupted him.
"Oh, don't be so polite. My men committed a crime, although it happened before they came to me, I should still take responsibility. This is just a way of expressing my apologies to you."
Upon hearing Chen Mu's insistence, the Supreme Being of Time and Space felt the following:
Mr. Chen is a respectable man!
By personally paying out of his own pocket to make up for his employees' mistakes, Mr. Chen demonstrates his loyalty and sense of responsibility to others, and his compassion for his employees, unwilling to let them pay for their work.
This can be considered the first time that the Lord of Time and Space has met Chen Mu.
The first impression made the Time and Space Lord feel very good.
As the report stated, Mr. Chen was exactly the same person.
Such a good boss earned the favor of the Time-Space Sovereign even more. He had already planned to side with Chen Mu, and Chen Mu's behavior in that small matter just now further solidified the Time-Space Sovereign's confidence.
"Boss Chen, there aren't many good bosses like you anymore."
"That's what everyone says." Chen Mu wasn't modest; it was a self-praise-inducing joke.
However, what the Lord of Time and Space didn't know was that Chen Mu had no intention of paying this money for the Lord of Extravagance.
Yes, this kid is up to no good. He freeloads on other people's newspapers and expects me to pay for cleaning up his mess.
Chen Mu wasn't short of money, but he refused to be a victim of someone else's foolishness. That would make him feel like he was intellectually inferior.
Therefore, Chen Mu definitely won't pay this money.
Of course, you can think that way, but you can't say it like that.
Chen Mu will outwardly offer money, and he will genuinely provide it to the Time-Space Sovereign. Moreover, Chen Mu will also tell the Extravagant Sovereign that he paid to settle this matter for him.
However, at the end of the year, the performance evaluation of the "Extravagant Luxury" may fluctuate by about 5% due to certain circumstances, such as being late for work, management mistakes, and other minor issues.
For a Ghost Lord whose annual salary is in the hundreds of millions, a fluctuation of a few million in performance is quite normal.
Therefore, the source of these millions still comes from the performance of Jingshezhizun.
However, neither the Supreme Being of Extravagance nor the Supreme Being of Time and Space knew anything about it, and Chen Mu didn't say anything either.
The Supreme Being of Extravagance will thank Boss Chen for helping him settle things with money, and will receive the Supreme Being of Extravagance's gratitude.
The Lord of Time and Space will be impressed by Boss Chen's righteousness, thus gaining the Lord of Time and Space's favor;
Chen Mu could also play the good guy, since the money ultimately came from deducting from the performance bonus of the "Extravagant Splendor" (a nickname for a high-ranking official).
This is a win-win-win situation, taking it a step further from the original win-win situation!
In the past, Mr. Chen could only win twice when doing something.
Now, if Mr. Chen does something, he can win three times in a row.
