Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 86 Are you done pretending?
Looking at Cheng Wei sitting on the ground, Chen Xiu was first taken aback, and then she subtly curled the corners of her mouth.

He thought Cheng Wei wouldn't show up, but the other party was secretly hiding in a corner and spying on him.

That's good. With Cheng Wei's participation, today's grand show can come to a perfect end.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiu also took a step forward and walked up to Cheng Wei, reaching out her hand to him, whose face was pale.

"Brother Wei, are you alright?"

"what?"

Cheng Wei looked up at Chen Xiu, whose round glasses seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.

His lips trembled slightly, but Cheng Wei quickly composed himself and forced a smile: "I'm fine. I just had a bit of low blood sugar and couldn't stand up straight."

"Oh, I see! Then you shouldn't just sit there. It's quite cold outside today, and the floor is very cold."

Chen Xiu smiled slyly, then stretched out her hand in front of Cheng Wei, gesturing with her eyes for him to grab it.

After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Wei still grasped the helping hand and, with Chen Xiu's pull, stood up from the ground.

However, he used too much force when he got up and bumped into Chen Xiu's shoulder. The reaction force almost knocked him back to the ground.

Just as Cheng Wei lost his balance and tried to sit back down, Chen Xiu grabbed his back and stopped him from falling.

“Viagra, be careful. If you sit on the ground again, the excuse of low blood sugar won’t work anymore.”

"Hehe, you really went to great lengths for this gift today."

“It’s pointless to say that. Without your ‘full cooperation’ in setting up the stage, I would never have been able to perform this play.”

"Their reactions just now prove that I did the right thing!"

The two of them spoke in hushed tones, trying their best not to let a third person hear them.

When Cheng Wei said he hadn't done anything wrong, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, which were always hidden behind his glasses, indicating that he didn't regret his decision.

Chen Xiu stared at him for two seconds, then said calmly, "Only children distinguish between right and wrong; adults only consider advantages and disadvantages!"

With that, the two parted ways, each wearing a warm and friendly smile.

"Xiu, you're coming back to the company, why didn't you tell me?"

"I was withdrawing money from the bank downstairs just now and was busy confirming the amount, so I didn't have time to send a message. I will definitely notify you in advance next time. Next time, I will."

After exchanging pleasantries, Cheng Wei took the initiative to extend his hand to Chen Xiu.

"After you've finished dealing with things here, come over to my office for a chat later?"

"Sure! I do have something I'd like to talk to you about."

Chen Xiu grasped Cheng Wei's hand, they exchanged a knowing glance, and then let go of each other's hands.

Those standing outside Su Xiao's office dispersed silently after the two finished shaking hands.

Cheng Wei turned his head and glanced at Lao Hou and Lao Zhang one last time. He wanted to say a few polite words, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

After watching Cheng Wei leave, Chen Xiu returned to her office and made final arrangements for everyone.

"If you don't have anything else to do, you can take your money downstairs to the bank to deposit it. I've already spoken to the staff there, and someone will be here to handle your business today."

"Brother Xiu, when are we going to the new company?"

Old Hou walked over and asked in a low voice.

Chen Xiu looked at him, then at the others, "I'll create a group chat later, and everyone can start their new jobs tomorrow."

"Whoosh~" *N
These words put everyone's minds at ease.

Next, Chen Xiu asked Wei Feng and Xiong Ben to take them to deposit the money, while she stayed in Su Xiao's office.

After everyone left the office and the door was closed, Chen Xiu turned to look at Su Xiao, her eyes filled with apology.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry, I was a little slow when I was getting the money downstairs..." "I'm not that fragile. It's only 10 o'clock. The speed at which you got the money was already quite fast."

Su Xiao pushed up her glasses and suddenly asked, "Have you arranged the bonuses for Xiao Feng and Da Xiong?"

"Don't worry, the matter of Yang Zhen's shameful soup will not happen here."

After exchanging a glance with Su Xiao, Chen Xiu turned to look at Su Yu.

"Xiaoyu, are we going into the octagon again later?"

"Go talk to Cheng Wei first! He's probably furious right now. That scene just now, he had to swallow his anger and suffer in silence, it was so satisfying..."

"Don't swear!"

Su Xiao raised her hand and flicked Su Yu's forehead, instantly displaying her authority. As the younger brother, he had no choice but to obediently nod.

After comforting her two closest people, Chen Xiu went to Cheng Wei's office and politely knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

Pushing open the door, Chen Xiu habitually glanced around and found that Cheng Wei was the only one inside.

As Chen Xiu closed the door behind her, before she could even walk to the sofa, Cheng Wei's impatient questioning voice rang out.

"This can't be hidden today, and it's impossible to hide it! Spending 2100 million to step on me and gain a reputation for valuing talent is worth it, absolutely worth it! Xiu, your move is truly ruthless and vicious!"

Chen Xiu glanced at him, said nothing, and simply walked over to the sofa and sat down leisurely.

Cheng Wei was particularly annoyed by the fact that he launched a basic attack but received no response, feeling as if he had hit thin air.

He sat down opposite Chen Xiu, leaned forward, rested his elbows on his knees, and began to find reasons for his actions during this period.

“I admit that I didn’t act very ethically in the matter involving Lao Hou and Lao Zhang. But that’s because the company has been developing so fast these past few months that I simply couldn’t keep up.”

"At this time last year, our company's valuation was less than 10 billion US dollars, and now it has increased more than twentyfold! Xiu, you didn't expect us to be this successful at first, did you?"

Seeing Cheng Wei's hopeful face, Chen Xiu neither wanted to lie nor offer comfort, and ultimately chose to remain silent.

The lack of response caused Cheng Wei's expression to stiffen, and his resentment towards Chen Xiu intensified.

"The company is growing so fast that I can only try my best to adapt. Since I can't offer stock options as incentives, I can only dedicate important positions to developing my own people! But, these important positions are all filled with my people. If I don't do this, why should others work for me?"

This explanation, tinged with a sense of helplessness, finally prompted Chen Xiu to speak.

"Are you done installing?"

"what?"

"Shouldn't you be happy right now? I'm leaving, and my people are leaving too. A lot of positions above the middle management level are vacant. You suddenly have plenty of resources to recruit talent. What does mere reputation matter? You were probably thinking about that just now, weren't you?"

Chen Xiu's rapid-fire barrage of words completely stunned Cheng Wei.

Looking at this strong man, Chen Xiu, who had already said a lot today, really had no desire to put on another act with him.

Getting up from the sofa and looking down at Cheng Wei, Chen Xiu gave her final piece of advice to her "friend".

"Recently, I reread the biography of Zhang Taiyue, and there was a sentence in it that touched me deeply. I'll give it to you for free."

"What?"

"When things are going well, it is also the time when hidden worries are brewing."

"What do you mean?"

"If you don't have enough strength, bringing in outside help will inevitably make you feel inferior and end up being controlled by others. Figure it out yourself!"

After saying that, Chen Xiu left the office.
