Chapter 291 - Chasing Him Away

Tang Yajing, who had just heaved a sigh of relief, almost choked on her saliva. Lu Ming and Musk?! Was there a mistake? If these two got together, producing a mere chip was nothing! After all, didn’t they say that they wanted to build a spaceship? Although it was a little ridiculous, with their achievements, it was not strange for them to build a rocket!

After coughing a few times, she suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and said, “Are you sure about the truth of this matter? It might be a rumor. Didn’t I hear a while ago that the Boss of Tesla is going to invest in new research? Where did he get the time to do this? Who did you hear it from?”

“I’m sure this is true. Besides, Mr. Musk did not participate in the entire process. Instead, he sent a few people from his research lab to Lu Ming Corporation. As for the source of the information, it was… your eldest sister who knew it first.”

Luo Xiangwen said truthfully.

The husband of Tang Nishang was quite famous in the business world. His family started out in the catering and hotel industries. Now that their businesses were widely distributed throughout the country, it was normal for them to be well-informed. Recently, Luo Xiangwen had been running around. Not long ago, when he returned, he accidentally bumped into Eldest Miss mocking Third Miss and learned about this matter.

“What do we do now?”

What should we do? she thought.

How would I know?!

Tang Yajing thought of a solution frantically with a heavy heart. She had to admit that Lu Ming had taken advantage of the right time, the right place, and the right people. It was as if the heavens were helping him cheat! If she had such luck, she would not have only just come into contact with the family’s core affairs. Then she clicked her tongue.

“Does Old Master know about this?”

“… He doesn’t know yet. He went fishing with a friend this morning.”

This was the only good news now. The old man’s health was not good to begin with. If he heard this news, he would probably faint on the spot! No one wanted to see their enemy living better and better. Especially when their Tang family wanted to cooperate with Tesla back then but was constantly rejected. Lu Ming actually succeeded so easily?!

Wasn’t this a slap in the face?

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Tang Yajing’s eyes as she said, “In that case, we can only try our best to intervene. As long as they can’t make chips and phones, the money invested will go down the drain. The company will suffer heavy losses for a while. So we need to bribe the internal staff now…”

“I don’t think that idea is feasible.”

Luo Xiangwen reminded her, “Previously, there were other companies that tried to bribe the people from Lu Ming Corporation. In the end, not only did they reject them without hesitation, but they were also blacklisted by Lu Ming Corporation forever. If I remember correctly, the reason for their rejection was that their remuneration was inferior to Lu Ming’s.”

Just from this sentence, one could tell how good the remuneration at Lu Ming Corporation was!

Hence, Tang Yajing immediately changed her mind and said, “Then arrange for a few people with clean backgrounds to go in. I don’t believe that they can defend against this!”

…

Shanghai.

He Xiaopeng was wearing blue work overalls and holding a long list in his hand. On it were the names, phone numbers, ages, as well as the details of work experiences of these people.

He swept his gaze across the faces of the people one by one and thought to himself, If not for the fact that I’m so busy with more and more things to do, and urgently need more workers to participate, I would not have exposed myself. The risk of being exposed has increased greatly, so I have to be careful!

At the thought of this, he said solemnly, “I know that you’re all here to earn money, but I’m sure that some of you have other intentions. Then I’ll ask you to leave now. Otherwise, it won’t look good when I call you out one by one! All of you had better be sensible!”

Recently, various parties had been making moves. Just eliminating these people with ulterior motives was a huge waste of his time. Therefore, he decided to make things clear from the beginning. Those who knew better should leave by themselves. There was no need for him to investigate them one by one! After all, he still had to return to the research lab to continue developing the chip!

However, as time passed, none of these people took the initiative to leave. They only looked at each other, clearly not understanding what he meant.

As for the few people who had rushed to Shanghai according to Tang Yajing’s instructions, they stood in a corner and pretended to be blockheads. When they first heard those words, they were a little flustered. However, after thinking about it carefully, they guessed that He Xiaopeng was probably just threatening them because they did not think that he could find out their true identities in such a short time.

Just as they were about to stay, He Xiaopeng suddenly called out a series of names. “Yu Yi, Ping Honglin, Wei Yihe, Mao Song…”

What is going on?! they thought.

Those who were called had a bad feeling.

As expected, after He Xiaopeng finished calling their names, he picked up the thermos glass beside him and took a sip of tea. He said, “You can all leave. Our company has clearly stated that we don’t accept employees sent by other companies to gather information. Everyone, please!”

As soon as he finished speaking, those people froze on the spot, not knowing what to do.

One of them said unhappily, “I don’t think you’re recruiting people. You’re looking for trouble, right? What evidence do you have to prove that we were sent by another company?! You’re probably choosing a few people randomly and using us to assert your power, right? If you can’t give us a convincing explanation for what happened today, then we’ll spread the news that the Lu Ming Corporation is a bully!

Let everyone be the judge!”

As he spoke, he met He Xiaopeng’s gaze confidently. A big company like Lu Ming Corporation had always cared about their reputation. In order to smooth things over, the other party would definitely have no choice but to recruit them. At that time, not only would they be able to turn the tables, but they would also be able to successfully complete their mission. It was simply killing two birds with one stone!

And it was this attitude that changed the minds of the onlookers who were originally suspicious of them. Perhaps it was really Lu Ming Corporation that was bullying ordinary people. Then they should consider whether to change companies. If it was like this at the beginning, then what if something happened later? How could ordinary people like them win against such a large corporation?

He Xiaopeng glanced at him indifferently and said, “Your previous company was the Donghua Group, right? You resigned half a month ago. After that, someone anonymously transferred 400,000 yuan to you. Can you tell me the reason for your resignation and the source of this 400,000 yuan? You’re in your early thirties. After working in the company for so many years, your position was head of a medium-sized department.

If you continue to work there, with your ability, you will definitely advance to higher management. Why do you think a normal person would give up such a good future to become an ordinary employee at Lu Ming Corporation? Although our company’s remuneration is indeed good, how can a junior level position be better than a managerial position?”

The questions pierced that person’s heart. Immediately, his face turned green and white!
