Before Mu Zhixin could answer, Qi Wende earnestly advised, "Brother, you must not do anything foolish in a moment of impulse."
“Even if LingSi Technology really goes bankrupt, you can return to the family business and take over.”
"In the future, you will still have plenty of money and countless good days."
"you……"
"Alright, alright, just shut up!"
Mu Zhixin interrupted, "Why would I need to murder a freshman to deal with him?"
"If we just tamper with the contract a little, wouldn't everything be fine?"
Qi Wende was taken aback. "Zhixin, you mean..."
“That’s right! Not only will I not return the two million, but I will also take all the assets under his name, including his TikTok that earns five million a month.”
Mu Zhixin sneered, "Haven't you always been eyeing Douyin's monetization capabilities? I happen to lack experience in running websites, so we brothers can collaborate."
Upon hearing this, Qi Wende immediately became excited.
"That's great! But... no matter what, that kid is Chen Shihhan's younger brother. Aren't you afraid Shihhan will turn against you for treating him like this?"
"What's there to be afraid of?"
Mu Zhixin said with a disdainful look, "Those who achieve great things have never been bothered by trifles."
"Moreover, I've already found out everything from Shih-Han."
"Chen Feng has severed ties with the Chen family. Since that's the case, what psychological burden do I still have?"
Mu Zhixin was calculating his plans, but he probably never imagined that while he was scheming against Chen Feng, Chen Feng was also scheming against him.
"Old Du, come to Chenxi Residence. I have something to tell you."
"Chen Feng said into the phone, 'Chenxi Yaju 213.'"
Du Lei is a native of the ancient city, so even during the National Day holiday, he is always available whenever needed.
"Okay, boss, I'm coming right away."
More than an hour later, Du Lei rushed over.
However, Du Lei didn't come empty-handed; he brought two rice bowls with toppings along the way.
"Boss, it's almost lunchtime. I thought you might not have had lunch yet, so I brought some food with me. You won't mind, will you?"
That's why people say Du Lei has a bright future.
Just this desire to "improve" is enough for Zhao He and Jiang Dandan to learn from for several years.
"I'm so grateful that you brought me lunch, how could I possibly complain? Please have a seat."
"Okay!"
Du Lei sat down on the sofa and then asked, "Boss, what do you want to see me about?"
Chen Feng handed Mu Zhixin's business card to Du Lei.
"LingSi Technology?"
"Yes, I need you to help me figure out the details of this company, and it would be best if you could get along well with the junior employees so that they can cooperate with you in putting on a show when necessary."
"ah?"
Du Lei was taken aback. "Boss, isn't this a private investigator's job? You're giving me too much credit. I don't have that kind of ability at all."
Chen Feng knew this wouldn't be easy, but Du Lei was the most suitable person to handle it.
First of all, Du Lei is a local, so he has more connections to draw on when gathering information. Even if he doesn't have any connections, his fluent local accent makes it easier for him to build relationships with the employees of LingSi Technology.
Secondly, before joining Douyin, Du Lei had worked in many places and was intelligent and tactful enough.
Sometimes, you won't know your potential until you push yourself. How can you know you can't do something if you don't even try?
Chen Feng first offered a word of encouragement, then changed the subject, saying, "Lingsi Technology is very important to Douyin. In fact, whether Douyin can grow bigger and stronger and become a website for everyone depends on whether we can acquire this technology company."
"Old Du, you are my most capable assistant. I believe you will be able to complete the mission successfully."
After being given this "chicken soup" (motivational talk), Du Lei not only didn't become more motivated, but instead became even more determined to give up.
"Boss, I appreciate your trust, but I'm really not capable enough. You should find someone else."
Does this concern Douyin's future?
Du Lei was even more hesitant to take on the job.
What if my mistake affects Douyin's future?
He cannot bear this responsibility.
"Old Du, I won't let you work for nothing."
Chen Feng took out five thousand yuan in cash, saying, "This money will be your bonus after the job is done."
Looking at the bright red banknotes in Chen Feng's hand, Du Lei swallowed hard.
"Boss, it's not about the money. If you asked me to do business promotion, I would agree without hesitation. But you want me to do background checks and get along well with other people's employees... I really don't know where to start!"
"Is there anything you don't know how to do?"
Chen Feng curled his lip, opened the online banking payment interface, and transferred 100,000 yuan directly to Du Lei's personal account. "Give red envelopes to the employees of Lingsi Technology and treat them to meals. I don't believe that with money, you can't become friends with them!"
"But……"
“This 100,000 yuan is your activity fund. If you don’t spend it all, I won’t ask for it back. Consider it a reward for you.”
Du Lei's body trembled. "I'd go through fire and water for you, boss!"
"It's not difficult to make?"
Chen Feng glanced at Du Lei and said, "This is something only private investigators can do."
"Hey!"
Du Lei waved his hand, "Sometimes, I don't know how much potential I have until I push myself."
Chen Feng smiled and suddenly understood the true meaning of "money makes the world go round".
In fact, the task Chen Feng assigned to Du Lei may seem complicated, but it might not be that difficult in practice.
LingSi Technology has reached the point where it cannot survive without financing, so it must have been short of money for quite some time.
What happens if a company is short of money for an extended period?
They will definitely default on employee wages!
This might not have much impact on executives like Chen Shih-han, since she earns a high salary, doesn't have to support Chen Li-qiang and Wang Ya-qin, and has no children to support.
What about the ordinary employees of Keling Technology?
They have elderly parents to support and young children to raise, and they rely on their monthly salary to buy rice and cook. When their salaries are delayed, they mostly live a very difficult life.
If someone were to suddenly appear out of nowhere and give them a red envelope, they would be happy to befriend them, let alone slap them a few times.
Chen Feng could have done this himself; it would have been more efficient and saved him some costs.
But what about later?
Chen Feng can't do everything himself, can he?
Taking advantage of this opportunity to train Douyin's senior executives is the best long-term strategy.
"Let's eat."
Chen Feng pointed to the boxed lunches on the coffee table, "Let's eat and chat."
Next, Chen Feng began to give instructions on precautions during the background check process and to guide Du Lei and the LingSi Technology employees on communication skills.
