"The Gao Group is secretly restarting the AI705 project, and they're offering high salaries to bring back the employees from back then. Although everyone is very grateful for your kindness, the Gao Group is offering almost double the salary they used to, so most of them have been poached." Fei Changke carefully observed Tang Yue's expression, and seeing his calm and composed demeanor, he admired him even more.
He was a long-time employee of the Tang Group, having witnessed Tang Yue gradually take over the group and lead it to new heights. His abilities and foresight far surpassed those of the former chairman.
How could someone like that possibly make a series of wrong decisions, leading to the downfall of Tang's Group?
Therefore, he believed that Tang Yue was likely playing a long game, though he didn't know what it was. That's why, when the Gao Group extended an offer, he rejected it without hesitation.
Even if we can't be used by Tang Yue in the future, at least we shouldn't be enemies!
Fei Changke looked around before lowering his voice to warn, "Mr. Tang Zhanhang has close ties with that General Manager Gao. Please be very careful."
Tang Yue glanced at him and said jokingly, "You secretly told me about this. Aren't you afraid of offending the Tang Group?"
Fei Changke wanted to say he wasn't afraid, but when he looked up, he met Tang Yue's sharp and deep gaze, and the words that were about to come out of his throat were swallowed back. The smile on his face froze, and he simply decided to go all out and nodded honestly: "Afraid? How could I not be afraid? My little studio has no power or background, and the Gao family is like an ant to me. But I'm more afraid that after you rise to power, Mr. Tang, you will retaliate against me."
These words were both an expression of loyalty and a test of the other party's attitude.
Tang Yue pursed his thin lips, remaining silent and lost in thought. Fei Changke's keen insight exceeded his expectations; he was astute, far-sighted, and worldly-wise—perhaps he could be of use.
The silence lasted no more than half a minute, but it felt like an eternity to Fei Changke. He nervously rummaged in his pocket, intending to find a tissue to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, but he couldn't find one. He could only wipe it with the sleeve of his bespoke suit, his heart pounding.
Tang Yue said meaningfully, "They offered a high salary, Mr. Fei, why don't you try accepting it?"
Fei Changke swallowed hard, then suddenly realized what was going on, followed by great joy.
"Now, Mr. Fei, humiliate me before you go back." Tang Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, his once gentle black eyes now only showing cold, sharp glints.
"..." What, what is that?
Feeling both scared and bewildered by that gaze, Fei Changke was caught off guard.
Until the handsome man opposite him frowned slightly...
Fei Changke took a deep breath, pretended to be angry, pointed at Tang Yue's nose, and shouted loudly, "You don't know what's good for you! If it weren't for the fact that we knew each other before, would I have hired you to work in my studio?"
He raised his chin, turned and left angrily, his body trembling slightly, completely terrified.
Fei Changke's voice was loud and shrill, and many people in the parking lot looked over, exchanging knowing smiles.
The saying "A phoenix that has fallen to the ground is no better than a chicken" is absolutely true.
-
Tang Yue bent down and got into the car, closing the door to block the intense gazes from outside.
"Master Yue, do you need my help?" Meng Shen turned his head and asked, raising his chin and pointing in Fei Changke's direction, his words carrying a hidden meaning.
These days, even a nobody can come and yell at them; they must be living too comfortably!
The interior of the car was dimly lit.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yue turned his head slightly. His sharply defined profile was striking, and his dark eyes appeared even more piercing and intimidating in the enclosed carriage, like frost.
As if remembering something, the faint smile on his lips vanished in an instant, and his voice was cold and indifferent: "No need."
Meng Shen raised an eyebrow nonchalantly: "Anyway, just say the word if you need anything. I may not be very skilled, but I can still put a sack over a fire. If you don't believe me, ask Yu Xiaowan. Back in the day..."
"Bang!
The driver's seat was suddenly kicked.
Yu Wan raised her eyelids in disgust: "You still have the nerve to talk about such trivial things? Aren't you ashamed?"
“Master Yue isn’t an outsider,” Meng Shen retorted confidently.
Tang Yue was taken aback, then chuckled softly, clearly pleased by the phrase "not an outsider".
"Did you make some kind of deal?" Yu Wan glanced at Tang Yue: "Don't try to fool me. That person's demeanor was respectful and his tone was awe-inspiring. He definitely didn't come to humiliate you."
Tang Yue immediately praised, "Wanwan is really smart."
Yu Wan raised her chin and said smugly, "Of course." She kicked his foot and urged, "Say it now."
Ever since she met Gao Lingchuan and Tang Zhanhang last night, she's been itching to know everything.
"Before the Tang family went bankrupt, they were developing an AI project. Gao Lingchuan had been coveting it for a long time. He colluded with my second uncle to steal the core project results and recruit project team members. That person was one of the original project leaders." Tang Yue explained the matter simply. What he didn't say was that Gao Lingchuan was just a scapegoat for Tang Zhanhang and the S organization, used to divert his and everyone else's attention.
Tang Yue decided to use a counter-strategy, planning to have Fei Changke infiltrate the Gao Group. This was a pawn placed in the open, intended to convince the S organization that he was acting according to their plan.
Yu Wan narrowed her eyes: "That's it?"
She always felt that things weren't so simple, and her sixth sense told her that it might be related to that mysterious organization.
"Mm." Tang Yue met her gaze, his expression completely open and honest.
Therefore, Yu Wan didn't see anything, but her doubts only deepened. Since Tang Yue wouldn't speak, she secretly went to investigate.
Feigning belief in his words, Yu Wan asked again, "What happened to Lily?"
