Who wants to take the civil service exam after being reborn?

Chapter 496 Dual Swords Combined to Slay the Scoundrel! (4000 words, please vote)
My cousin Xiang Xiaohui frowned deeply.

Because she felt that Wang Haibin's expression and demeanor didn't seem like he was lying.

It's understandable, really. Back when Chen Zhe and Wang Haibin hadn't fallen out, it seemed normal for them to treat their guests to a night out at a club.

For these married women, if their husbands are wealthy and powerful but constantly have social engagements, some of them can understand the saying, "When you're in the world, you can't help yourself."

However, it's best not to let yourself know.

However, this applies to married women. For a girl like my cousin who is still in the throes of new love, finding out that her boyfriend has been caught soliciting prostitutes would probably be a disaster for her, given her personality.

Ni was skeptical.

The part about "faith" was also because what Wang Haibin said was so convincing.

As for the part about "doubt", Ni has always wondered, if she has a girlfriend like Weiwei, why would she still go to a club?
If it's true, then that man is truly despicable!
Even if the flowers in your garden are beautiful, you still have to try some wildflowers, right?
She stole a glance at Weiwei and Chen Zhe.

Song Shiwei was elegant and calm, her face like a clear spring, clear and cold, as if Wang Haibin's hoarse shouting just now was just a performance for thin air.

Chen Zhe, he always seemed so composed, with a hint of amusement and感慨 at the corner of his mouth.

"The quality of early internet entrepreneurs was vastly different from that of later ones."

That's what Chen was thinking.

Even if the soliciting of prostitutes is true, according to Wang Haibin's wishes, I was brought down by him.

But what about Chen Yunpeng and Wei Zhen? Did Wang Haibin also betray his partners?

Will the three of them still be able to trust each other and work together seamlessly in the future?

They couldn't control their emotions at the slightest disagreement, no wonder "Mole's World" was eventually shut down, and Taomee Technology was forced to delist after going public.

With such a business leader, everything seems to make sense.

"Do you believe what he said?"

Chen turned his head to the side and asked Sweet Sister's opinion with a smile.

Song, the school beauty, shook her head. Her slender eyebrows resembled distant mountains shrouded in mist, as if they contained unwavering trust.

How can you not believe me?

Wang Haibin was getting anxious. If Ms. Song chose to trust him unconditionally, the damage from this incident would be much less.

He looked at Chen Yunpeng and Wei Zhen, seemingly wanting the two of them to step forward and testify.

Chen Yunpeng and Wei Zhen both lowered their heads, now feeling not only sorrow and disappointment, but also anger.

"President Wang, please don't make things difficult for me."

Chen laughed and said, "I know you too well. I saw long ago that you would become arrogant and turn your back on us, and I also knew that you were untrustworthy. You clearly wanted to go out and have fun, but you insisted on dragging us along..."

"You fart!"

Wang Haibin was furious, because it was clearly Chen who had offered to entertain him.

"It's no use talking more."

Chen waved his hand, too lazy to argue: "Please watch the VCR."

The game company's conference room has a projector, so Chen asked Ma Haijun to connect the equipment.

However, Ma Haijun was a little unfamiliar with it, and with Wei Zhen's help, the projection screen slowly descended.

I plugged in the USB drive I brought from Guangzhou. It contained a video, which seemed to be a clip taken from surveillance footage.

The first segment of the video shows Chen Zhe, Wang Haibin, Chen Yunpeng, and Wei Zhen getting out of an S600 and appearing in the parking lot with their arms around each other's shoulders.

The second part of the video: Four people appeared in a magnificent hall, talking about something, and soon four brightly dressed young girls appeared.

Three people took the arms of Wang Haibin, Chen Yunpeng, and Wei Zhen and walked into a hidden corner.

However, when the last girl tried to link arms with Chen Zhe, he actually took a step back and then walked away.

In the third segment of the video, Chen returned to the parking lot alone and got back into the S600.

The fourth segment of the video shows that about two hours later, Wang Haibin, Chen Yunpeng, and Wei Zhencai appeared in the parking lot laughing and joking, and then got into the car.

Fifth segment of the video: This segment contains no visuals, only audio recordings from inside the car.

First, Ma Haijun called his daughter.

Then Chen came back, followed by a chanting sound from the back row: Liu Hongjian, Xiang Xiaohui, Cong Ni, and Sweet Sister, all of whom were top students in economics.

It was quickly recognized that Chen was reciting an introduction to economics!

"Fuck!"

Liu Hongjian opened his mouth wide. He accompanied the client to the club, but refused to indulge in the lavish lifestyle. Instead, he went back to his car to recite his textbook knowledge.
If this hadn't happened in real life, I would have thought it was a fictional story from a TV drama!
But this is clearly not fake.

Because at the end of the video, you can hear Wang Haibin, Chen Yunpeng, and Wei Zhen's satisfied exclamations as they get into the car: "So all those actions in the porn were real! What book are you holding...?"

It corresponds perfectly to the fourth video segment.

So when the video ended, the meeting room was even quieter than when Wang Haibin's dismissal was announced.

Dismissing Wang Haibin was something that could have been expected, but Chen Zhe's actions were beyond even the wildest imagination.

Seeing everyone's reactions, Chen felt quite satisfied and deliberately offered a slightly pretentious explanation:

"Exams were coming up, so I was studying with my books everywhere I went. Well... in the end, hard work paid off... I got the second-class scholarship in the department..."

Song Shiwei and Cong Ni both knew that Chen Zhe had won an award in the final exams last semester.

But no one knew that he won the award under such difficult circumstances!
"slight."

From the way Ni looks at Chen now, it's as if he's a god: "Excuse my bluntness, but your taste in men far surpasses your taste in investments!"

This statement, seemingly derogatory but actually complimentary, has grasped the essence of flattery.

Our Sweet Sister, with her rounded chin slightly raised, carried a hint of barely perceptible pride. Her expression seemed calm, but the upward curve of the corners of her eyes resembled ripples spreading across the surface of ice after the sun melted it.

By the way, this sun should be pink.

This added a touch of vibrancy and radiance to Song Xiaohua's already flawless face.

At this moment, it can be said that everyone in the conference room, except for Wang Haibin, was on Chen's side.

Even Chen Yunpeng and Wei Zhen were no exception.

Wang Haibin was completely stunned. His "mutual destruction" move not only had no effect, but instead became material to highlight Chen Zhe's glorious image.

I feel like Jing Ke in the story of "Jing Ke Assassinating the King of Qin". When I arrived in front of the King of Qin, I took out a dagger from my pocket, only to realize that I had grabbed the wrong thing in my haste that morning and mistaken a sausage for a dagger.

He failed to become an assassin and ended up as a red-nosed clown in a circus.

"Since Mr. Wang is so interested in my private life, I can only reciprocate."

Chen gestured to Ma Haijun to hide the A4 paper in the folder and hand it over.

Everyone was curious about what was there, but they couldn't see it.

However, when Wang Haibin opened the folder without understanding why, after just one glance, the color drained from his face, like a photograph suddenly exposed, revealing the veins beneath his skin.

"you you……"

Wang Haibin stammered, his Adam's apple bobbing violently but no sound came out.

"Mr. Wang, shall we find a place to talk privately?"

Chen said meaningfully.

"it is good!"

Wang Haibin actually stood up obediently.

When Chen Zhe, Ma Haijun, and Wang Haibin arrived at the small office next door, everyone in the conference room looked at each other in bewilderment. Liu Hongjian whispered to his wife, "Even if it's a late-stage cancer report, there's no need to panic like this."

"Those with late-stage cancer can live for at least another month."

Xiang Xiaohui felt like her heart was being scratched by a cat: "It means that the contents of that folder can kill Wang Haibin instantly. How annoying, why do we have to talk about this separately? I can't even see it for myself."

"Haven't you seen enough today?" Liu Hongjian asked with a smile.

"Too."

Xiang Xiaohui pursed her lips. The mere act of "bringing books to the club" was enough to keep people talking for a year.

The "Chen Zhe" group was all relaxed. Although they didn't know what was in the folder, judging from the difference in their expressions, Chen Zhe should be able to easily control Wang Haibin.

Wei Zhen and Chen Yunpeng felt like they had thorns growing under their buttocks. They were in an awkward situation, feeling uneasy as if they owed rent, even though it was their rented office.

"President Chen, President Wei."

That calm, cool voice suddenly came.

Although Chen Zhe has left, there is still someone in charge.

With her hair neatly tied back, Song Shiwei's gesture seemed to be a request, a command, and also a way to defuse the awkwardness between Wei Zhen and Chen Yunpeng.

"Please tell me about the company's recent developments."

"it is good……"

Wei Zhen and Chen Yunpeng did not refuse.

……

In the small office next door, Wang Haibin asked in a hoarse voice, "Didn't you say everything was settled? How come you still got the prostitution receipt?"

"Not surprisingly."

Chen sat on the soft chair and said seriously, "If I wanted to, I could bring you the video of you soliciting prostitutes, the statement you made at the police station, and your fingerprints."

Wang Haibin's face turned pale again. Although Chen's tone was arrogant, which was inconsistent with his usual persona.

But this time, Wang Haibin didn't suspect anything.

I've heard that those famous entrepreneurs all have deep-rooted connections in the local area, and it seems that Chen is also going to develop in this direction.

Wang Haibin was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "So what do you want to do?"

"Look at Boss Wang."

Chen succinctly outlined the three steps.

"If Mr. Wang continues to be stubborn and fails to see the situation clearly, then I will have no choice but to play along and get rid of you from the company first."

"Then if you start your own business, I'll say that the business owner was arrested for soliciting prostitutes, and if you work for someone else, I'll go to that company and spread the word that an employee was arrested for soliciting prostitutes."

"Furthermore, do you remember signing an agreement? If you leave the company within five years and engage in the same type of work again, I can pursue legal action against you."

"I……"

Wang Haibin felt that this was driving him to his death, and he couldn't help but want to go up and argue with them.

Ma Haijun silently stepped in front of him to block the way.

This road is blocked!
Wang Haibin took two steps back, somewhat timidly. Only then did he realize that Chen had blocked all his room for struggle.

It's laughable that just yesterday I naively thought Chen would compromise to save face.

Time passed slowly, and although Chen Zhe was very patient and did not urge them, the sounds of Chen Yunpeng and Wei Zhen explaining the company's development could be heard from time to time in the conference room.

To Wang Haibin, this sounded like a signal to surrender to the new boss.

"Then I agree."

Wang Haibin sighed, "200 million, I'm withdrawing."

"167 million, and you still need to sign some agreements."

Chen corrected him expressionlessly.

The "167 million" figure represents the true value, while the "200 million" figure was only increased by 33 due to the founder's circumstances.

"The agreement can be signed, but didn't you just say..."

Wang Haibin asked hesitantly, "Two million?"

"Mr. Wang."

Chen's tone was quite stiff: "You may not know this, but the first terms I offer during negotiations are often the best."

As Chen spoke, he observed Wang Haibin's expression.

This is a test. If he truly submits, he will only be thinking about getting compensation and leaving as soon as possible.

After a moment of hesitation, Wang Haibin gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, 167 million it is..."

"Let's keep it at 200 million."

Chen suddenly changed his mind again.

But Wang Haibin was completely taken aback, and felt a sense of joy at "losing and finding". He couldn't help but ask, "President Chen, is it 200 or 167?"

"200."

Chen smiled slightly.

When someone starts to worry about petty gains, it means they've lost their ambition and are no longer a threat.

However, just as Chen stood up to return to the conference room, Wang Haibin suddenly asked in a complicated tone, "President Chen, when you took us to the club last time, did you already foresee today?"

"what?"

Chen thought to himself, "What nonsense! I'm not a god. I just look down on those vulgar women."

As for today's video, it's purely because I feel that "since I'm going to mess with you, I must be prepared for you to mess with me."

Between you and me, Wang Haibin, the only thing that could be used against us is that trip to the club, so I took precautions in advance.

I never expected you to run into me like this!

However, Chen Zhe certainly wouldn't explain these things to Wang Haibin. He grinned and replied mysteriously, "Guess."

······
Back in the conference room, Chen announced that, for the sake of the company and the future of "Mole's World", President Wang had voluntarily chosen to withdraw and sell his shares to Ms. Song at the agreed price.

Everyone understands that this "proactive" action is probably somewhat forced.

Next, Chen handed over control back to Sister Sweet, as this was her career.

After receiving a supportive look from Chen Zhe, Song Shiwei silently opened her notebook and suddenly announced a resolution to take back the shares held by Chen Yunpeng and Wei Zhen.

The standard is the same as Wang Haibin's, with each person receiving 167 million yuan in compensation.

Chen Yunpeng and Wei Zhen had no power to fight back and no will to resist; they thought this was the beginning of their purge.

Unexpectedly, Ms. Song announced:

First, the additional investment of 200 million RMB will be used for game promotion and operation, which demonstrates confidence to the outside world.

Second, all employees will receive a 10% raise and a 13th-month salary for the whole year. This is to reassure ordinary employees and prevent them from feeling anxious due to the change of leadership.
Third, since Manager Chen Yunpeng and Manager Wei Zhen have made significant contributions to Taomee Technology, each of them will be granted 5% of the shares and will retain their original positions.

This caught Chen Yunpeng and Wei Zhen off guard. Although their shareholding had decreased from 12% to 5%, they used to only have shares, but now they had both shares and money, and could continue to witness the glory of "Mole's World".

Besides, with Ms. Song and Mr. Chen managing it, this 5% is probably worth far more than the original 12%.

With this series of coordinated moves, Taomi's entire staff not only failed to try to retain Wang Haibin or miss him after his departure, but even felt that he had hindered everyone's development.

After announcing these specific measures, Song Shiwei glanced at Chen Zhe beside her and decided to hand over control back.

"Is there anything you want to say?"

Song Shiwei asked softly.

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhe was in a daze. He suddenly realized that everyone's attention was focused on him.

Before he could even figure out what to do, his mouth had already opened unconsciously.
"We... um... want to strengthen corporate social responsibility, promote green gaming, pay attention to the healthy growth of teenagers, and achieve a win-win situation for both economic and social benefits."
