Chapter 620: Justice, Leaving Lanhe
next day
Jiang Xiaoguo came to the company and immediately called Qi Song who had just arrived.
Qi Song saw Jiang Xiaoguo's spirited look and thought something good was going to happen, so he smiled and said:
"Xiao Guo, you seem to be more radiant than before. Did something good happen to you?"
Jiang Xiaoguo ignored Qi Song's teasing and looked at the crowded office. After thinking for a while, he said:
"Come with me, I have something to tell you alone!"
As he said that, he took Qi Song to the small conference room and told Qi Song all the analysis he had made with Zhou Xun yesterday.
Qi Song heard this and stared at Jiang Xiaoguo in astonishment, then said in disbelief:
"You mean to say that Chris exchanged Milin for Hongtuo?"
"This doesn't make sense! Why would Lan He give up Milin? Milin itself is also a project with great potential!"
Jiang Xiaoguo said calmly:
"For Lan He, Milin only has potential. Its future development is still an unknown. It is far better to acquire a unicorn with outstanding performance!"
Qi Song was speechless when he heard this. He didn't expect the truth to be like this, naked!
"Isn't this a leak of secrets?" Qi Song suppressed his anger and asked with a last glimmer of hope:
“Is this in line with industry regulations?”
"Ah~!" Jiang Xiaoguo sighed and said helplessly:
“Sometimes, investors will exchange resources to increase the success rate of their projects!”
Qi Song covered his forehead, his anger had made his breathing rapid, and then he said:
No wonder, why did Chris suddenly become so easy to talk to and polite to us? I thought he had changed his personality. It turned out that we were betrayed! "
"Does the company know about this?" Qi Song asked with the last glimmer of hope.
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo close her eyes, Qi Song understood what she meant.
Come to think of it, with the amount of funds raised in Huaqingji's Series C financing, Alex is an obstacle that cannot be avoided. In other words, they are like a useless chess piece that is abandoned at will.
Thinking of this, Qi Song felt angry and discouraged at the same time.
This was a project they had worked hard to build, but they didn't expect it to become a pawn, a chip that could be exchanged at any time.
Their efforts were directly ignored by the company, and the key point is that the company did not give them even the slightest compensation!
Thinking of this, Qi Song stood up angrily, and Jiang Xiaoguo immediately grabbed Qi Song and said:
"What are you doing?"
"I'll go find them~!" Qi Song said as a matter of course.
"These are all my friends' analysis and speculation, so we can't be too reckless!" Jiang Xiaoguo shook his head and said.
"What should I do?"
“Let’s do this…!”
As Jiang Xiaoguo and Qi Song were talking, they discussed their words and prepared to trick Chris into saying something.
Then we came to Chris's office.
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo and Qi Song, Chris asked calmly:
"Do you have anything to do with me?"
Qi Song sat on the chair and said calmly:
"Huaqingji did a great job in the C round of financing. Xiaoguo and I came to congratulate you!"
Chris looked at the two newbies in front of him and felt that they were up to something, but he didn't understand what they were doing, so he got straight to the point:
"Thank you, just tell me what you want to say!"
Seeing Chris was so direct, Qi Song thought about it and said as planned:
"Xiaoguo and I have privately summarized the methodology for your successful investment this time, and we want to tell you about it!"
Guarding Qi Song, he said with a double meaning: "See if I have grasped your essence!"
"Oh, that sums me up?" Chris looked at the two of them in disbelief, then said with interest:
"Okay, tell me what you think!"
At this time Qi Song kept silent, and Jiang Xiaoguo spoke up:
First, deep connections. Huaqingji is such a big project that all major investors are eyeing it and trying to take a bite of this fat meat!
"So, it's hard to get a ticket!" Jiang Xiaoguo looked at Chris and said:
"But I know that Annie from Hongtuo once stayed in Lanhe, and she has the best relationship with you. I guess you made the breakthrough here!"
Chris heard this, the smile on his face gradually faded, and then he said lightly:
“There may be some factors in this regard!”
"Anything else?" Chris said with his hands folded in his arms, an action that represented vigilance and preparedness. It was obviously Jiang Xiaoguo's words that made Chris suspicious.
Then Jiang Xiaoguo said:
"But favors are favors, and interests are interests. If you want to get Annie to invest in Huaqingji, you must exchange it with equivalent resources!"
"For example, Milin!" As soon as Jiang Xiaoguo finished speaking, Chris's face suddenly changed. Jiang Xiaoguo and Qi Song stared at Chris coldly.
"Am I right?" Jiang Xiaoguo said this, and neither side spoke. The office immediately became extremely quiet!
After a long while, Chris suddenly smiled and said:
"You young people, do you have such wild imaginations?"
"Just say whatever you want to say!"
Qi Heng immediately said in a cold voice:
"The Huaqingji Series C financing project was exchanged for Milin, right?"
After his secret was exposed, Chris' fake smile gradually disappeared, and then he said earnestly:
"Qi Song, Xiao Guo, I hope that you two can honestly accept and face your failures, and learn from them, instead of using conspiracy theories to make yourself feel better!"
Seeing that the two newbies in front of him were still not understanding, Chris simply stopped pretending and said:
"Besides, even if the exchange you just mentioned is real, so what? Making a small profit with a big investment is the way of investment!"
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoguo's face showed an indignant look, and then he suppressed his anger and shouted:
"Just because Huaqingshu is more valuable, we should be cannon fodder, right?"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo scolding him loudly for the first time, Chris finally restrained himself a little and said:
"How can you call them cannon fodder?"
Chris started to use mental PUA again, and analyzed to Jiang Xiaoguo and Qi Song:
"If Milin can be exchanged for Huaqingji, then the unsuccessful Milin is more valuable than the successful Milin!"
"Besides, now that we have invested in Huaqingji, Lanhe Investment will have a better reputation in the industry. When you go out to discuss projects with others, won't you have more say?"
"This is equivalent to sacrificing a little bit of my own self for the sake of the company's overall interests!"
But the two of them didn't buy into this. They didn't want to eat such a big cake. Qi Song immediately asked:
"So what you mean is that we have also made a great contribution to the Huaqingji project?"
Upon hearing this, Chris immediately said with great emotion:
"Of course, it's absolutely indispensable!"
Qi Song said expressionlessly: "What about our project bonus?" However, Chris's expression immediately froze, and the office became silent again.
Chris restrained his smile and said after a long while:
"Why are you young people so utilitarian when doing things?"
"Isn't Milin also my project? Don't I feel bad? Alex needs it and I have the resources. What can I do? I can only replace it!"
"It can only be replaced!" In fact, he laughed angrily at this moment, and then the smile gradually disappeared, and then he shouted angrily:
“Have you put any effort into this project?”
"It was Jiang Xiaoguo and I who put in the hard work. You were very active in grabbing the credit. You even said in front of Alex that you would guide us, but in the end you didn't even talk as well as us!"
"Now you just gave up on our project and asked me to consider the overall situation and the company. Why should I do that?"
"Do you really think we are mentally ill?"
Seeing Qi Song pointing fingers at him, Chris also shouted angrily:
"Stop pointing fingers at me here. I'm doing this for your own good, right?"
"Don't you need to grow up now?"
Qi Song interrupted Chris and shouted:
"What a bullshit growth! Do I need you to grow for me? You really think you are such a big shot!"
After saying that, he threw his work badge in Chris's face and slammed the door and left!
Jiang Xiaoguo stood up calmly and was about to turn around and leave, but at this time Chris said loudly:
"Jiang Xiaoguo, Qi Song is too impulsive. You have to persuade him, otherwise he will suffer a great loss in society sooner or later!"
Then Chris advised softly:
"But you are different. You have always been more visionary than him!"
"Also, I have seen and remembered all the hard work you put into the Milin project!"
Chris thought Jiang Xiaoguo would still compromise, and was about to paint another big pie for her when Jiang Xiaoguo said lightly:
"So, you deliberately delayed the Milin project to buy time for Hongtuo, right?"
Jiang Xiaoguo's words made Chris feel like a duck that was quacking happily but suddenly had its neck pinched, and the chattering sound stopped abruptly!
Just then, Qi Song returned to the office and took out his and Jiang Xiaoguo's resignation letters.
"This is our resignation letter!" Jiang Xiaoguo said meaningfully:
"Sign it! I just found my next employer, so we can part ways amicably!"
But Chris soon came to his senses and felt insulted, so he said angrily:
"Jiang Xiaoguo, you have to think clearly, do you think everything will be fine once you find the next employer?
"I'm telling you, without Lan He, you're nothing. Just one word from me and you'll forget about gaining a foothold in this industry!"
"Will you sign it?" Jiang Xiaoguo asked directly without any nonsense.
Chris pointed at the two people's resignation letters and sneered:
"I don't have time. When I have time, I will read your resignation letter!"
"You don't want to sign, right? As long as you don't regret it!" Jiang Xiaoguo and Qi Song left without saying a word.
After the two returned to their workstations, they looked at the people in the big office and packed their things while Jiang Xiaoguo said:
"Qi Song, what are your plans next?"
Qi Song put down what he was holding, and then said indignantly:
"What are your plans? Of course I'm going to find another job. Anyway, I don't want to work in this filthy and messy company anymore!"
Jiang Xiaoguo deliberately spoke loudly, so many people paid attention to their conversation, and Jiang Xiaoguo immediately said:
"We have been following the Milin project for so long, and it was about to succeed, but the company used the project as a bargaining chip to trade it away!"
"Of course, let's trade it, there's nothing wrong with that, after all we are workers!
But why didn’t they just sell us out and compensate us? Aren’t they afraid of undermining the enthusiasm of their employees?”
Qi Song continued to apply eye drops to Lan He, and then said:
"What are they afraid of? Anyway, they are using the lowest price to exchange for other good projects. As for the enthusiasm of the employees, do they care?"
Jiang Xiaoguo and Qi Song then recounted the events in unison, and Jiang Xiaoguo then said:
"If he can betray us today, he will betray you tomorrow for the greater good!"
Upon hearing this, the employees in the large office immediately started talking about it.
Only then did they realize that the reason why Jiang Xiaoguo and their Milin project failed was because Chris betrayed them and exchanged them to competitors as a bargaining chip in exchange for Huaqingji's Series C financing.
Everyone was also feeling resentful about this. Just as Jiang Xiaoguo said, if they could sell Jiang Xiaoguo's project today, they could sell their own project tomorrow.
Moreover, the company will not give any compensation or rewards, and employees are forced to take a peek at the fruits of their labor.
Soon, the news spread throughout the company, and because of this news, the entire Lan He company became panic-stricken.
Then Jiang Xiaoguo showed his true colors and continued to seduce:
"I do know a place, it's a venture capital company that was just established!"
"The boss is Zhou Xun from Puling Capital. He has now partnered with someone to open a venture capital company above Puling!"
"There are more than 2 billion yuan in the account at present, and there are not many projects on hand. In addition to a lot of money, there is still a lot of money!"
Upon hearing this, many employees subconsciously looked at Jiang Xiaoguo. This meant that he had found a new employer, so what should they do?
Then, the colleagues nearby who had a good relationship with Jiang Xiaoguo asked:
"No, Xiaoguo, you are serious!"
"Xiao Guo, are you talking about the Xingyuan Venture Capital Company in our building?"
"Of course, I~!" Just when Jiang Xiaoguo wanted to continue speaking, Alex suddenly appeared in the big office:
"Jiang Xiaoguo, Qi Song, come to my office!"
Then the two of them came to the general manager's office, and Alex said expressionlessly:
"Tell me, what's going on? And what do you want to do by promoting Xingyuan Investment in the office?"
Jiang Xiaoguo and Qi Song placed the two resignation letters in front of Alex and said:
"It's not about what we want to do, but what the company wants to do. Why did they exchange our Milin project with Hongtuo?"
"We just asked Chris, and he said that you forced him to exchange the Milin project for Hongtuo's Huaqingji. Since~!"
"Not only did they not give us commissions for the project, they even refused to sign our resignation letters and threatened us that if we left Lanhe, we would have no place to stand."
"and many more!"
Upon hearing this, Alex immediately realized something was wrong. It was Chris who suggested exchanging Milin for Hua Qingji, and he also asked him to compensate Jiang Xiaoguo and Qi Song.
But in his eyes, Chris's value is far higher than Jiang Xiaoguo and Qi Song!
