Chapter 161: The Company Was Smashed
"We also believe that the man Qingqing has set her eyes on won't go back on his word." These students seemed very reassured.
"Good! I'll leave this place to you, I have something to attend to, I'll be going first. If you need money, just come to me, as long as it's not over a hundred million, I can afford it." Lin Yifan instructed them, then drove off.
"A hundred million! Seems like the boss is quite wealthy." Hearing this number, these accounting students felt more confident, and so they perked up and decided to work hard.
They were originally blank slates with no work experience; now someone needed them, and the salary offered was a formal one, what more could they ask for?
Upon hearing this figure, Su Qingqing too was surprised, and wondered where Lin Yifan got so much money in these days. However, she guessed that this money must have been extorted from the bad guys by Lin Yifan.
On the other hand, back at Antian Group, Lin Yifan found the office very calm, as if An Qi hadn't noticed that he had sneakily slipped away, which eased his mind a lot.
After sitting at the company for a day, Lin Yifan went home after work, and then arranged to meet with Su Qingqing to discuss the situation of DouTian TV Company.
"How is it? How many people are we short of? And how much in assets?" Sitting at the dining table, Lin Yifan started asking.
"I've made a rough estimate, the company still has over two billion in funds, plus the liquidated damages from those partners who pulled out midway, altogether there should be about three billion. As for company positions, aside from the finance department, it seems we are short of 258 people," Sun Qingqing answered one by one.
"Then have you found those 258 people?" Lin Yifan asked anxiously.
"Not yet, but they are already looking as quickly as they can, I believe they will all be found soon," Su Qingqing replied.
"If that's the case, then I'm relieved." Lin Yifan let out a sigh of relief.
After dinner, he first dropped Su Qingqing home, then drove back to his own place.
He was just stepping out of the elevator when he was stopped by Han Meiling.
"Your company isn't going to close down, is it?" Han Meiling asked from the doorstep.
Today, she opened the DouTian TV website and found not a single host was broadcasting live, which she found very strange. There were only two reasons that could cause this situation: a technical fault, or the company had closed down. Combining what she knew about Lin Yifan, she was more inclined to believe the latter.
"It hasn't closed down, it's just that something happened today that caused a delay; it will be fixed by tomorrow," Lin Yifan replied.
"Is it really so?" Han Meiling was somewhat skeptical.
"Why would I lie to you? Don't you trust me?" Lin Yifan countered.
"If I didn't trust you, would I have agreed so readily to broadcast live for your company last night?" Han Meiling countered in return.
"Then why ask!" Lin Yifan was speechless.
"I just wanted to make sure, why do you have to be so fierce?" Han Meiling chided.
Lin Yifan also felt that his tone had been a bit heavy just now, so he bowed and apologized, "Sorry, my words were a bit heavy just now, please don't take it to heart."
"Hmph! Seeing as you're so sincerely sorry, I will reluctantly forgive you this time. Remember! There won't be another chance next time." With that, Han Meiling closed her door and went back inside.
Since moving here, Lin Yifan had never seen Han Meiling so angry; this time, he had indeed gone a bit too far.
Going back to his room and opening up various live broadcasting websites on his phone, he found that these sites were mostly focused on gaming, especially League of Legends, which had the most broadcasters and the largest audience traffic.
"Looks like Penguin's game is really hot!" Lin Yifan exclaimed.
After that, he decided to focus the company's live broadcasting mainly on games, to vigorously develop this area.
A few hours later, it was a new day; after taking An Qi and Zhou Jiajia to the company, he sneaked away again.
By the time he reached the company, it was already nine o'clock; by this time, most people should be at work.
With curiosity, he walked into the company to see what the current situation was like.
Upon reaching the second floor and entering the business department, he suddenly realized that everything in front of him was refreshingly different, completely unlike before.
Besides being neat and tidy, there was also a vibrant and energetic atmosphere, with each staff member full of drive.
Although they all had green faces, he believed that after a few years of tempering and settling, they would surely become mature.
"Good! This is the spirit I want!" Lin Yifan was pleased.
He then discreetly left the business department and went on to check the other departments.
After making the rounds, he discovered that everything had changed; the whole company was full of life and thriving.
If he hadn't pinched himself, he would have thought he was dreaming.
"With such employees, it would be hard not to succeed." Lin Yifan was secretly pleased, very satisfied with the outcome.
Next, he visited the general manager's office to see Su Qingqing.
Opening the door, he found Su Qingqing engrossed in her work, truly the image of a strong woman.
Hearing someone at the door, Su Qingqing looked up to see Lin Yifan and asked, "Chairman, is there something you need?"
"Nothing in particular, I just purely wanted to come see you," Lin Yifan replied.
"What's there to see, isn't it all the same?" Su Qingqing asked while checking documents, seemingly very busy.
"No! You're even more beautiful when working!" Lin Yifan complimented.
"Smooth talker!" Su Qingqing smiled but chided, her eyes never leaving the documents on the table.
Seeing this, Lin Yifan curiously asked, "Are you very busy?"
"The company was left in such a mess by the previous staff, many things need to be reorganized, so I'm a bit busy," Su Qingqing replied.
"In that case, I'll leave you to it, keep up the good work!" Lin Yifan encouraged Su Qingqing; then he quietly left.
Back at Antian Group, he checked the live broadcasting situation of his company on his phone, and saw that all the channels were operating normally, only that the number of broadcasters seemed to have reduced a lot, especially the more popular ones.
"Looks like they were poached by that bastard Zhao Ritian again." Lin Yifan muttered to himself.
Zhao Ritian, with the influence of his father and substantial financial capabilities, was constantly making things difficult for him, dead set on taking down his company.
"Do you think you can sign all the broadcasters in the country? I really want to see what tricks you still have left to play!" Lin Yifan said threateningly.
He decided to have Han Meiling start broadcasting today to attract traffic and also planned to recruit various types of broadcasters from universities, offering a base salary plus commission.
After conveying his ideas to Su Qingqing, he continued browsing information related to live broadcasting.
Late in the afternoon, Su Qingqing suddenly called, saying the company had been vandalized.
So, he immediately drove back to check the situation.
