Chapter 29 Business War, Plain and Simple
"Did you deliver the things?"
In the top floor office of Shen Group, Shen Shubai stood in front of the altar, the red ribbon of the God of Wealth still on, and he burned three incense sticks with a pious attitude.
Secretary Zou said neatly: "Yes, I delivered it myself." Shen
Shubai asked casually: "What did you deliver?"
Secretary Zou: "Cake."
Shen Shubai: "..."
Secretary Zou: "Eight layers."
"..."
Shen Shubai paused, and the incense stick was broken with a snap. He turned around in disbelief, "Secretary Zou, are you an undercover sent by Li's? Are you sending a cake to celebrate your success?" After
a quarrel with Qin Ningning yesterday, Shen Shubai recalled it carefully after returning home, and finally found that someone had tampered with the fruit.
The good fruits he carefully selected for his lover all turned into crooked melons and cracked dates. One bite would make your teeth sour!
Shen Shubai followed the clues and checked everyone around him, but found nothing. Finally, he found the supermarket. In the surveillance, he saw with his own eyes that Li Wenzhao was standing in a hidden corner, instructing Butler Jing to do something bad to him secretly.
Shen Shubai was almost furious - Li Wenzhao was a domineering boss, where did he learn these despicable methods!
Furious, Shen Shubai ordered his subordinate, Secretary Zou, to find a way to retaliate. He had been holding his anger and waiting for a whole night, but he got such a result. He
was even angrier.
"Mr. Shen, I'm not an undercover agent." Secretary Zou explained softly.
Shen Shubai angrily said, "Then you fucking send them cakes!"
Secretary Zou said calmly, "I send cakes to them to hint that the eighth floor is finished."
"..."
After a long silence, Shen Shubai felt as if he was humiliated.
"Are you kidding me?" Shen Shubai was furious: "Who knows what you mean by giving me a gift like this? Maybe they have already celebrated..."
"They understand." Secretary Zou raised his head: "And the Li Group has already launched its first counterattack." Shen
Shubai was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Secretary Zou turned on his mobile phone and put a photo in front of Shen Shubai: "This is the picture I just took. The Li Group hired a statue for its own group."
In the photo, the third son of the Li family and the housekeeper Jing were both in the photo. A large truck was parked at the gate of the company, and more than a dozen workers were moving a statue down.
Shen Shubai didn't understand: "What does this mean?"
Secretary Zou stepped forward and enlarged the details of the photo: "This is a statue of Liu Bei. I guess they mean that we will always be younger brothers." "
..."
Shen Shubai was so angry.
What the hell is this weird business war?
In the past, I fought with Li Shi in a high-end and grand way. Today, you cheated me of a piece of land, and tomorrow I will do you a trick at the auction. This time, you negotiated a big project, and tomorrow I will put a black-hearted manager in your key department...
After so many years of back and forth, why did Li Shi suddenly change its strategy?
... And it's still so low.
It's like throwing mud at each other like a little kid.
It doesn't fit his domineering personality at all. Who wants to fight this low-end business war.
"Secretary Zou, please ask Guan Erye at the door to leave."
"What about Li Shi?"
"Don't worry about them." Shen Shubai smiled evilly: "Who wants to fight this low-end business war, you first..."
Dangdangdang.
The office door was knocked open, and the young assistant came in carrying a snakeskin bag, "Mr. Shen, this is a specialty sent to you by Li's."
Shen Shubai: "???"
Secretary Zou opened the bag, revealing a bag filled with young bamboo shoots.
Shen Shubai had a weird look on his face: "Is Li Wenzhao crazy? Why give me a bag of bamboo shoots?"
Secretary Zou looked at it for a while, then said carefully: "I guess they mean that you have too many bamboo shoots."
Shen Shubai: "…………"
He was so angry that his face turned red, "Secretary Zou, take out all the koi in front of the Li Group and stew them into fish head soup, and then send it to this lunatic Li Wenzhao!" Secretary Zou
: "……"
·
At the gate of Li’s, Li Ting was directing the workers to put the sculpture in the pond at the gate. The lotus pond, koi and small fountain would surely keep the statue in good condition.
But Jingyi looked at both sides of the gate: "Third Young Master, this is not a good idea."
Li Ting turned around with a smile: "Why is it not a good idea?"
"It's too conspicuous." Jingyi pointed to both sides: "Others will think our company is some kind of weird organization."
[Not conducive to negotiation and cooperation]
Li Ting thought about it and said, "Then where should it be put?"
Jing Yi said shockingly: "Embedded in the wall."
"!!!" Li Ting looked at the statue: "The statue will be offended to death."
This will not only offend Liu Bei, but maybe Guan Erye will also come with his Qinglong Yanyue Sword to kill him.
Jing Yi rephrased: "What I mean is, dig a hole in the wall of the hall, put the statue in, and cover it with glass." Li Ting
was speechless: "...Butler Jing, that thing is called a showcase."
Jing Yi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Yes, it is a showcase."
Li Ting chuckled: "Butler Jing, your choice of words is really frightening."
Jing Yi blinked.
[Really? The eldest young master obviously adapted well. ]
[It is estimated that Li Ting's tolerance is too weak. ]
Li Ting, who can hear everything, sneered.
He rolled his eyes and left, asking the workers to lift the statue into the hall, and chose a corner for someone to build a special showcase. It's okay to chisel the wall, because all four sides are load-bearing.
... The idea proposed by the young butler must be cut off before it can be used.
The workers dispersed, and Jing Yi was about to go upstairs. He glanced and saw a car slowly stop downstairs of Li's building, and a familiar figure came down.
There was a rockery in the pond, just blocking Jing Yi's figure.
Secretary Zou (making a phone call furtively): "Mr. Shen, there's no one around."
Shen Shubai leaned back in the wide chair in the office, wearing sunglasses, and lit a cigarette exaggeratedly: "Go."
Catch all the koi in Li's house, and let them have a lifetime of retrograde Mercury!
Secretary Zou took out a scoop net and bucket from the trunk and carefully went down to the pond.
Jing Yi: "???"
Secretary Zou rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs, and used a scoop net to catch the beautiful fat-headed koi in the pond. These fish were kept at the entrance of the company and were fattened by the employees. When they saw someone coming, they immediately rushed over to grab the food, but Secretary Zou easily caught them all.
Jing Yi watched for a few seconds and said carefully: "Secretary Zou, what are you doing?"
"Oh my God!"
Secretary Zou was so scared that the net bag fell out of his hand, and the carp in the pond were so frightened that they shook their heads in panic.
"Jing Jing Jing... Assistant Jing!" Secretary Zou stumbled.
Jing Yi was also frightened by his huge reaction, and quickly reached out to help him, then patted his chest: "You scared me."
Secretary Zou: "..." Who is scaring who? I'm asking?
Jing Yi looked at him: "Why are you catching our fish?"
Secretary Zou told the truth: "To fight a vicious business war."
Jing Yi: "???"
What kind of business war is this?
What kind of childish business war method is this? The original book doesn't play it this way. Since he came here, what has the author been writing about?
OOC.
Jing Yi frowned and said in disgust: "Your methods are so low-level."
Secretary Zou was speechless for a while: "Assistant Jing, what's so advanced about 'Bamboo shoots have arrived' and 'Stealing kiwis'?"
Jing Yi explained in a gentle voice: "The difference is that I am not breaking the law."
Secretary Zou: "..."
Click.
The net he was using to steal fish hit the pond.
Secretary Zou thought about it carefully, and it seemed that... Jing Yi did not break the law.
He was different. He was stealing fish now.
Still in the surveillance area.
"..." I was so annoyed.
Secretary Zou quickly climbed ashore, put down his sleeves and trousers, and said to Jing Yi: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Jing Yi waved his hands: "Workers should help each other."
Secretary Zou nodded very coldly and turned away.
As soon as the trouble left, Jing Yi received a text message from Li Ting.
[Li Lao San]: The informant next door sent a message that the Shen Group is going to send someone to steal fish. Butler Jing, keep an eye on the door. That's the fine koi selected by the eldest brother himself. It's very expensive.
Jing Yi answered confidently: [Don't worry, Third Master, I'm watching. All the koi are fine! ]
Just after sending the message, Jing Yi found that a small fish had been caught in the bucket that Secretary Zou had not taken away.
In line with the principle of being a competent housekeeper, Jing Yi picked up the bucket and dumped the fish into the pond.
Blah.
Plop.
Jing Yi was stunned. Plop?
He squinted and looked over, and saw a small fish hit the rockery stone.
It fell sideways.
The small fish flipped twice on the stone and fell into the water. Like a drunk driver, it knocked over many normal-moving peers along the way. It took a while to slow down, but it couldn't help but want to lie flat and expose its belly.
"…………"
???
Aren't you going to wait a moment?
[You, Master Jing]: Withdraw a message.
[Li Lao San]: ???

In the office of Li's president, Jing Yi quietly pushed open the door, revealing a pair of eyes that looked at him furtively.
Li Wenzhao was wearing a vest and was listening to Secretary Fan's monthly report. His face was expressionless and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.
Jingyi anxiously walked around the door twice, and knocked when the noise inside stopped.
The knock was cautious, and Li Wenzhao's eyebrows relaxed: "Come in."
Jingyi pushed the door open carefully and slowly: "Young Master, I'm back."
Li Wenzhao hummed and asked as a matter of course: "What has happened to Shen's company because of you?"
Jingyi pursed his lips: "Business war, just an ordinary business war." Li
Wenzhao tried hard to ignore the feeling of stealing from him: "Well, what has happened to Shen's company because of your ordinary business war?"
"..."
The young master really understood him well.
Jing Yi blinked, thinking of what happened downstairs just now: "I'm so angry."
Secretary Zou returned empty-handed, and Shen Shubai was probably so angry that he shut himself off.
Li Wenzhao: "..." He
still underestimated the housekeeper.
Jing Yi sat down with a guilty conscience, thinking of the four words "so expensive" in Li Ting's text message, he felt that his wallet was going to suffer a great punishment.
[Alas (head shaking)]
[What should I do (sigh)]
[One slip and it's all over]
Li Wenzhao was peeped at by the housekeeper nine times in three minutes. When the other party looked at him for the tenth time, Li Wenzhao raised his eyes: "What do you want to say?"
Jing Yi moistened his lips: "Young Master, the koi at the gate of the group seems to be quite beautiful."
Li Wenzhao raised his eyebrows.
Jing Yi tried to test: "Is this kind of fish too expensive?" Li
Wenzhao was stunned.
Jing Yi asked: "Where can I buy it?"
Li Wenzhao glanced over gently: "Tell me, how many did you kill?"
"!"
[Does he have the ability to read minds? ]
Jing Yi explained: "I didn't mean to do that. I wanted to put it back where it was, but I hit a rock."
He lowered his head and twirled his fingers, and said with a distressed look on his face: "Just deduct the money for the fish from my salary."
Looking at the miserable expression of the young housekeeper, Li Wenzhao couldn't help laughing: "No need, it's just a fish."
Jing Yi raised his head: "Really?"
Li Wenzhao: "If you really want to pay, you can."
Jing Yi changed his words in a second: "Thank you, young master, for your generosity. I'm sorry to have made you spend money."
Li Wenzhao: "It has to be broken. I asked for it."
Jing Yi: "..."
The young master's mouth is getting sharper and sharper.
·
After the uneventful work, Jing Yi and Li Wenzhao returned home together.
"Great, you are all back." Li Mingzhi warmly welcomed them.
"Just in time, come and watch my debut variety show."
Jing Yi's eyes shook, and he looked at Li Wenzhao. The latter's eyes moved slightly, and his expression froze.
Li Ting stood by and squinted his eyes: "Why do I feel that your eyes are full of...an affair unknown to others?"
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Jing Yi corrected: "Third Young Master, it's an inside story."
Li Ting: "Okay, let me change the wording. What did you two do secretly just now?"
Jing Yi: "..."
Li Mingzhi asked everyone to sit down and turned on the TV to change the channel: "I was going to broadcast live at the company today, but I wanted to witness my debut with you, so I fought for the opportunity to broadcast live at home. You must stay with me until the end."
Jing Yi looked around and asked curiously: "Second Young Master didn't come back?"
"No." Li Mingzhi said without turning his head: "I heard that he went on a trip to follow the sister of that day. I will send it to him after watching it later."
The variety show started quickly. After an advertisement and an opening speech, the screen switched to a familiar alley.
"Welcome to the alleys of the capital city. There are delicious foods everywhere. Today we will explore the street snacks full of human touch..."
The program captured a lot of food photos, and Jing Yi drooled when he saw them.
After a while, it was time for self-introduction.
The guests stood in a row, and there was no sign of Li Mingzhi. Li Ting doubted: "Did you put it in the wrong place? You are not here either."
"Third brother, wait a minute." Li Mingzhi said mysteriously: "I am making a heavyweight appearance."
Li Wenzhao turned his eyes slightly.
Jing Yi: "..."
Such a familiar description.
Li Ting made a big capture move. He caught it, right? Sure enough, he was secretly doing something!
The screen continued to play, and the director introduced the last guest.
Li Ting was stunned: "The big frog is also a guest? Is this a prank show?"
Li Mingzhi paused: "No, it's a serious food show."
When he saw the big frog doing dozens of backflips, Li Ting's face was stiff: "... You?!"
Li Mingzhi: "Yes, am I handsome?"
Li Ting: "..."
Jing Yi smiled as if he had seen the world.
[Don't panic yet, there will be more panic later. ]
Li Ting: "..."
Before he could get ready, the big frog on the screen began to sing loudly, howling a distorted dolphin sound.
As soon as the big frog appeared, a few bullet screens suddenly flashed across the screen.
[Hahahahahahahaha]
[Special skills!]
[Frog Prince falling from the sky?]
[Don't tell me this is the new guest...hahahahahaha]
[I only apply a facial mask once a month, please don't mess it
up!] [Newcomers are more fun, this is too much]
After the initial embarrassment, Jing Yi was gradually attracted by the lively variety show. The other guests, including Li Mingzhi, were all very funny, and the bullet screens were full of laughter.
Even the guests couldn't help laughing.
Li Mingzhi seemed to be inspired by a mystery, and ran wildly on the road to the comedian. He spent half of the whole show wearing a frog costume.
In the performance segment, the guests need to show their talents to help the store attract customers. The people who were traveling with him were afraid that Li Mingzhi would use sonic attacks again, so they suggested using funny performances to attract customers.
Li Mingzhi agreed.
Then he slipped on the ramp in his frog costume and landed at people's feet.
Li Ting: "...Pfft."
Jing Yi couldn't help but curl up his lips.
Li Mingzhi turned his head angrily: "Why are you laughing at me, third brother?"
Li Ting endured it again and again: "Because I found that you are quite suitable to be a star."
Li Mingzhi, who had a smooth mind, was tempted: "Really?"
"Yeah."
Others have more jokes, and he has more embarrassments, which are equally eye-catching.
Hahahaha variety show laughs, Jing Yi was very hungry, and he stuck to the table and ate without raising his eyes.
Li Wenzhao ate little for dinner, but Li Tingxiao was full. Li Mingzhi needed to control his diet, so Jingyi ate the most at the table.
After dinner, Jingyi had to eat some fruit to relieve his greasy feeling.
Li Wenzhao frowned and said, "It's not good for your health to eat too much at night."
What? Jingyi was
puzzled, holding a cherry in his mouth, "I only ate half full." Li
Mingzhi pursed his lips and asked, "Aren't you afraid of getting fat?"
Jingyi: "If you are sincere, you will have zero calories."
His twisted reasoning successfully made the two brothers speechless: "..."
Li Wenzhao glanced at the thin waist of the young butler, and said in a deep and gentle voice: "The three layers of lower abdomen are not built in one day."
Jing Yi paused after eating: "..."
