Just then, another boy stepped out of the elevator.
Zhang Yong immediately called out to him.
"Hey, young man."
The boy looked at them and saw a group CEO and the head of Taobao. Could they be checking attendance here? But it's almost eight o'clock.
He obediently walked over and greeted them.
"Hello, Mr. Ma. Hello, Mr. Zhang."
"Young man, do you have Pinduoduo on your phone? Can I borrow it for a moment?"
Yes, yes, yes.
The boy took out his phone, but then immediately realized that Pinduoduo seemed to be a competitor's product, and wondered why he had answered so quickly. So he added, "Really."
"Ahem, actually I don't use it much usually."
Zhang Yong took out his phone, added the boy as a friend on Pinduoduo, and then sent him the link to the down jacket.
"Open it and take a look."
The boy clicked the link.
"NaiKe Women's Down Jacket: Warm, Trendy, and Stylish"
The boy looked up with a puzzled expression: "?"
Then he saw two extremely gloomy faces.
Confused and startled, he took two steps back and ran away without even saying goodbye.
Just after running a hundred meters, the boy heard a super loud classic Chinese opera performance behind him.
"C!!! A!!! O!!! Lin Chen, I'll fuck your grandpa!"
That evening, a photo circulated on Weibo.
Two forlorn old men sat on the steps downstairs from Alibaba, smoking and drinking, with cigarette butts and beer cans scattered all over the ground.
"Wow, who is this? Sitting downstairs at Alibaba, smoking and drinking, aren't they afraid of getting arrested by security?"
"Upstairs, which security guard would dare to arrest these two? One is Jack Ma, the head of Alibaba, and the other is Daniel Zhang, the head of Taobao."
"Hiss, I dare not move, I dare not move."
"What happened? Why do these two bigwigs look so miserable? Is Alibaba going to go bankrupt?"
"No way, how could such a big company go bankrupt?"
"I was so scared that I quickly checked my Alipay balance of three yuan and two mao."
...
This photo quickly went viral and became a trending topic.
The next day, Taobao suddenly experienced a wave of returns.
When the secretary called Zhang Yong, Zhang Yong was so startled that he sobered up immediately and ran to the company.
After investigation, the photo on Weibo was identified as the culprit behind the rumor.
After an internal investigation, they finally identified a male programmer who had been working overtime at the company until 10 p.m. that day.
Zhang Yong immediately informed the boy that he had been expelled.
The guy disagreed and started arguing in the company group chat, saying he hadn't done anything wrong and had just casually posted a photo on Weibo.
Subsequently, Alibaba's legal department responded in the group that the boy's behavior involved leaking confidential company information and caused huge financial losses to the company. According to relevant laws and regulations, a lawsuit could be filed against him.
Although Alibaba's legal team isn't as famous as Tencent's, it's still far beyond what a mere programmer like him can compete with. Instead of wasting time with the company, he should hurry up and find a new job.
Fortunately, Zhang Yong still gave him N+1 for normal resignation, which wasn't too excessive.
The secretary quietly asked Zhang Yong.
"Mr. Zhang, why are you so insistent on firing that person?"
"Hmph, because he used a Xiaomi phone to post on Weibo!"
"Ah, this..." The secretary silently stuffed her Xiaomi phone into her pocket.
Jack Ma sat in his office, gazing out the window, lost in thought.
In this group-buying war, why was Koubei.com the only one to suffer losses in the end?
At first, it was clearly Lashou.com that was getting beaten up, and Meituan took the opportunity to poach many of Lashou.com's merchants. So why is it that when it was Meituan's turn to poach, it was Lashou.com that bit them back?
Is it possible that Lashou.com can't even compete with itself without subsidies?
Am I really suited for the group buying industry?
But honestly, Lin Chen's antics are just too outrageous; they're infuriating.
With a sigh, Jack Ma decided that Koubei.com should first develop in a low-key and cautious manner, letting Lashou and Meituan fight it out first.
Wang Xing: Hmm? I'm familiar with this trick!
...
Lin Chen, An Rou, Su Xiaowan, and Shen Yue, Fatty, and Senior Yan on the other end of the video call were all video chatting together!
Lin Chen and his colleagues had just finished get off work, while it was still midday for Mei Di.
"Lin Chen, my vacation is coming up soon!"
"Really? That's great! Fatty must be almost done with his work, right? You guys can come back together now."
"Waaaaah, Brother Chen, can I finally go home? If I don't go home soon, my mom is going to come and kill me."
"Ahem, shouldn't you be thanking me? Come to think of it, I'm practically your matchmaker."
Looking at the fat man's dark circles and thinner face in the video, Lin Chen felt a little guilty when he said this.
"Brother Chen, thank you so much!"
"Don't mention it, don't mention it. You've worked so hard this year, your year-end bonus will definitely be huge. Let's go play mahjong together during the Chinese New Year."
"Damn, Brother Chen, I haven't even received my year-end bonus yet, and you're already planning to start the salary recovery plan? But I probably won't have that much time this year, I'm going to visit Shihan's family on the third day of the Lunar New Year."
"Wow, Fatty, you guys are moving pretty fast. Are you already starting to make wedding arrangements after meeting the parents?"
"Hehe, we still need Shihan's parents' consent, but then it will be perfectly legitimate for us to live together."
After saying this, the fat guy and Senior Sister Yan exchanged a sweet glance.
Meanwhile, Lin Chen felt as if he were being watched by three pairs of eyes at the same time, making him feel sweat break out on his back even in the dead of winter.
Lin Chen quickly changed the subject: "So, what date are you planning to come back?"
"Number 10, I'll check this over again and give you some instructions."
"Okay, then send me the flight information and I'll pick you up at the airport. Alright, I'm going to sleep now, I'm so sleepy."
"Okay, goodnight, Brother Chen. I just finished lunch."
"Kaixuan, let's go take a nap too."
"Ah... well, Brother Chen, I'll hang up too."
"Lin Chen, I'll hang up now. I'm going to study. I have exams in the next couple of days."
"Okay, see you in Shanghai in a few days."
"Okay, bye-bye."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen, An Rou, and Su Xiaowan went to wash up and go to bed.
However, Lin Chen slept in his own room tonight, while An Rou and Su Xiaowan slept in the next room.
Lin Chen was asleep at night when he suddenly felt someone open the door and come in.
Lin Chen turned on the bedside lamp and saw that it was indeed An Rou.
An Rou immediately crawled into Lin Chen's bed.
"It's so cold."
"You came out even though it's cold."
"I came out to use the restroom, and I thought I'd come over and give you a hug."
Lin Chen hugged An Rou tightly, feeling the softness of her body, and suddenly felt a little distracted, so he kissed her.
