I am weak and friendly

Chapter 108 Oh no, the company is really going to go bankrupt!
In the afternoon, the doors of elevator number 9 opened, and Tang Yiping reappeared at Linghai Technology.

Heading straight to his workstation, Tang Yiping greeted his mentor, "Brother Ban, I'm back!"

"Hmm..." Ban responded first, then turned his head and asked, "You're back?"

"I'm back!" Tang Yiping answered loudly, but felt a little guilty under the watchful eye of his older brother.

“I thought you weren’t coming back…” Ban said.

"No...not coming back? Where am I supposed to go if I don't come back?"

"Where do you want to go?" Ban asked.

Oh no, Brother Ban must have seen through me. I'm actually an undercover agent for another sect now!

Yes, Tang Yiping is back, this time as an undercover agent for Tianyu Investment.

Actually, he originally thought that after joining Tianyu Investment, besides finding that mysterious core location, if he could go to Tianyu Investment's office, he might be able to use his computer skills or the Information Ocean Matrix to search for some useful information.

But Zhou Beichuan sent him back to Linghai Technology to infiltrate the company.

Tang Yiping initially refused, but Zhou Beichuan offered him a daily wage of 500 yuan.

Of course, Tang Yiping also refused the daily wage of 500 yuan; one cannot be without conscience.

However, Zhou Beichuan gave him an advance on one month's salary.

Of course, he refused to be given a month's salary in advance; one cannot be without conscience.

However, Zhou Beichuan paid him for 30 working days a month, instead of 21.

Of course, he also refused the salary for 30 working days a month, because one cannot be without conscience.

But Zhou Beichuan actually had someone transfer money on the spot.

Now, the cold, hard 15000 yuan just lies there listlessly in his WeChat balance.

It bought his conscience.

Therefore, Tang Yiping now looked at Ban Ge with a heart full of guilt.

I'm sorry, Master. I didn't want to betray the sect, but they gave me too much!
This world is too dark. The good faction is struggling, while the evil faction is throwing money at people!

Of course, I was just going through the motions with them; my heart will always belong to the sect! To the sect leader! To you, Master!

Loyalty, Linghai Technology!

Of course, if Zhou Beichuan offered him more money, it wouldn't be impossible for him to join the "Ah, you are" organization and pledge allegiance to it.

If you gave me a hundred million, I could even give up the S-rank skill [Entangled State]!
What's the use of conscience? Can you sell it for money?
Tang Yiping felt the sorrow of having his dreams trampled by cold, hard money.

The advance on his salary wasn't Tang Yiping's only gain today.

Another system notification floated in front of him:

—You have successfully, smoothly, and perfectly completed a carrion-eating trial using your three skills. Job change trial progress (2/3)

The progress bar, which hadn't moved for a long time, finally started moving again.

He also gained a brand new skill, [Carrion Eater], which he acquired from Zhou Beichuan.

Outdated cash flow management techniques for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Of the skills mentioned above, such as "The Unpleasant Strategies for Taking the Blame When the Boss Runs Away," "Outdated Cash Flow Management Techniques for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises," and "Ineffective, Extensive Employee Incentive Management Methods," Tang Yiping felt that this was probably the only one that might be somewhat useful.

I really don't know what Zhou Beichuan went through; he seems to have had a pretty tough time.

Now, Zhou Beichuan has also been marked by Tang Yiping and is now Tang Yiping's prey.

Tang Yiping felt that the reason his job change trial progress bar wouldn't budge was probably because he was using the wrong method of "eating carrion".

As a user of the "Survival Guide for the Weak," there are certain requirements to complete the job change trial in order to become a "Carrion Eater."

At the very least, beating the opponent half to death before resorting to such violent methods as "carrion cannibalism" is most likely wrong.

This is by no means a sign of weakness.

Tang Yiping felt that the success of the "Carrion Consumption" and the activation of the progress bar this time was entirely due to his not lifting a finger.

Therefore, completing the trial is not difficult, but it is important to pay attention to the methods and approaches.

This made Tang Yiping a little disappointed.

He quite enjoys hitting people.

Fortunately, the trial mission only requires three attempts. Just bear with it a little longer, and you'll be able to fight again soon.

By then, we'll probably be deep in enemy territory. When we attack, let's go all out! Brother Ban had no idea what was going on in Tang Yiping's mind. He stared at Tang Yiping for a moment and then smiled with satisfaction.

He was actually very happy that Tang Yiping was able to come back.

He said, "Why don't you go and talk to Brother Bao about the internship contract again? Maybe you can talk to Brother Bao about a daily wage of 500 or something."

Huh? 500 a day? Am I even worth that much now?

Could it be that I betrayed them for nothing?
“However, I’m afraid it’s pointless to talk now; the company simply can’t afford your price…” Brother Ban said. “Sigh, you really shouldn’t have come back…”

After all, Tang Yiping currently has absolutely no legal status.

His independent contracting business had ended, and his internship had ended even earlier.

Thankfully, my betrayal wasn't entirely worthless.

As Ban was speaking, Ze suddenly waved to Tang Yiping: "Pingzi! Come here for a second!"

"Brother Ze is calling you. He probably has something important to say. Go over there." Brother Ban waved to Tang Yiping.

"Pingzi, you're back just in time." Ze Ge seemed completely unsurprised by Tang Yiping's return. She said, "Pingzi, you know someone wants to acquire our company, right?"

Tang Yiping certainly knew.

“The company is short of money right now and can’t attract investment, but we don’t want to be acquired… After all, this company is the result of all our hard work, and being acquired means a major overhaul, and many people may have to leave… Pingzi, do you have any opinions?”

"Ah I?"

No, you overestimate me. Asking me about something like this?

I'm just a college student, how would I know what to do?
He said, "In this situation, we need to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. As for reducing expenditure, I think the company has already cut all the costs, and everyone's salaries are already very low... As for increasing revenue, we have already finished the logistics management system, so why don't we try to get a new project? If we can get a deposit, maybe we can keep the company afloat for a while longer."

Ze Ge, Xiang Ge, and the others: "???"

No, you actually know a lot about this!

Wait, what am I talking about? What do I know about company operations?
These are all outdated ideas of mine!
"Ah, I was just kidding!" Tang Yiping quickly covered his mouth, then couldn't help but ask, "How much money do we have in our company's account right now?"

Ze Ge said, "Actually, Pingzi, you're right. That's exactly what we're doing now, but unfortunately..."

"We're not completely broke, are we?!"

"There's a little bit left... The district just gave us a small subsidy, but it's only enough for one month's salary, so..."

Sure enough, there's still a little bit left, which means there's none left, right?

Ze asked Tang Yiping, "Pingzi, do you have any connections to attract investment?"

Tang Yiping: "???"

Thank you, Brother Ze, thank you for thinking so highly of me.

Li Ze also realized that she had probably asked too many questions, but she was already desperate and would try anything.
"So, do you have any good ideas? The company needs a PowerPoint presentation to... attract investment. You're a big shot, you have a lot of insight in this area. What projects do you think are good for the future?"

Tang Yiping: "???"

Seeing Tang Yiping's expression, Ze Ge sighed and shook his head, saying, "I'm sorry, Pingzi, I shouldn't have told you all this. Are you going to do an internship this summer? Do you need me to recommend you?"

You might not believe it, but I've already found another job.

Tang Yiping sniffed.

The company's atmosphere of corruption has become even stronger.

So, is bankruptcy really just around the corner?

This is really bad! I haven't even sorted out my unknown qubits and SSSSSSSS-level skills yet!

Tang Yiping was a little flustered.

And the current situation looks like something is about to happen.

Following a familiar development pattern...

Should I go find Lao Zhou and learn from him how that boss ran away with his money?

Wait a minute, that seems to be a skill used by bosses to run away and take the blame; we can't learn that.

What now?
With that in mind, Tang Yiping first sent a message to Zhou Beichuan: "The company is thriving and actively trying to save itself. There are already many investment intentions."

Zhou Beichuan was so worried when he received the message that he almost turned gray.
