If they were to be sold as a package deal, the valuation would shrink further, and they wouldn't even be worth a billion.

The money Li Mu earned was almost equivalent to the entire Qu family's fortune, so how could Qu's father not be shocked?

A few days ago, although he had a good impression of Li Mu and thought he was an outstanding young man, he was just an outstanding young man and still regarded him as a junior.

Now, he suddenly realized that this person was perhaps much more capable than him, someone he needed to treat as an equal, or even look up to.

Upon realizing this, he suddenly felt that he needed to cultivate a good relationship with such a rare and remarkable person. From any perspective, there could only be benefits and no drawbacks.

As for his relationship with Qu Xiaoxiao, Qu's father was very confident a few days ago, but now he suddenly lost his confidence. Does he think that his good-for-nothing daughter would be good enough for him?

Just let nature take its course.

After talking with Manager Wang about issuing bonds for a while, Qu's father saw Li Mu passing by again from a distance. He got up, apologized, and planned to go over and say hello.

Chapter 128 It’s better to block than to open up

Li Mu had just signed a financing agreement with Huaxin Securities and was sitting in the VIP room drinking coffee when Mr. Qu walked over with a smile.

"Hello Mr. Li, it's nice to see you again."

Li Mu stood up and shook hands with him: "Hello, Uncle Qu."

Seeing that Li Mu did not show any arrogance, but instead acted very humbly and called him Uncle Qu, Qu's father was in a very good mood.

"Mr. Li, you're too kind. I've heard Xiaoxiao mention you often these past few days. We're so happy for Xiaoxiao to have a friend like you. She can learn a lot from you and improve herself."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Uncle Qu, you're too kind. Xiaoxiao is quite good; she's smart and quick-witted. With proper training, she'll prove herself just as capable as any man."

Mr. Qu waved his hand and laughed, "You flatter me too much. Xiaoxiao is still far from good enough and needs more practice."

“Recently, I plan to have Xiaoxiao become a vice president at a subsidiary company. I will arrange for a seasoned and experienced general manager to mentor her, so that she can learn and become familiar with the company’s business and gradually get the hang of it.”

"Who knew she wouldn't agree and insisted on becoming the CEO directly? I disagreed, and she even made a scene. It's really frustrating."

Li Mu said, "I think I've heard Xiaoxiao mention this before. She has no work experience and no experience in leading a company. It's really not appropriate to put her in the position of CEO so rashly."

Mr. Qu said, "Yes! My daughter is good in every way, both obedient and clever, but she has been a bit too ambitious in this matter."

“Mr. Li, Xiaoxiao speaks of you with great admiration. I would appreciate it if you could keep a close eye on her. Her personality is something most people can’t handle.”

"Take the matter of taking a position at a subsidiary company for example. If things don't go her way this time, she might keep arguing with me. These past two days have been a real headache for me."

Li Mu said, "Uncle Qu, you don't need to worry. Xiaoxiao is your daughter after all. She won't keep arguing with you."

"However, as the old saying goes, when Yu the Great controlled the floods, it was better to dredge than to block. There's no need to dwell on some things too much."

"If Xiaoxiao wants to be the CEO of a subsidiary, let her go and see what she's capable of. There are too many things to worry about and consider when you're a CEO; it's not an easy job."

"Let Xiaoxiao sit in this position and see for herself whether she has the ability to control the company, whether she can hold the position, and whether she can lead the company to development."

"Once she understands the difficulties and her shortcomings, she will naturally be convinced when you arrange other positions for her to train."

"If Xiaoxiao secures the position of CEO and does well, that would be even better, proving that she has talent in this area."

"What else are you worried about!"

After hearing what Li Mu said, Qu's father thought about it very seriously for a while.

“Mr. Li, you’re right. With my daughter’s personality, we can only go along with her, not go against her. Some truths she needs to understand for herself.”

The two chatted for a while longer. Then, Mr. Qu checked the time and saw that Manager Wang was still waiting over there. He then apologized and said goodbye to Li Mu.

……

In the evening, after some exercise with Fan Shengmei, I listened to her chatter on and on about some gossip.

I overheard about Qiu Yingying and Manager Bai.

Li Mu realized that now that Fan Shengmei knew about this, it wouldn't be long before Qiu Yingying was deceived, lost her virginity, and lost her job.

As the only female simp among the five women on the 22nd floor, Qiu Yingying's IQ is indeed lacking when it comes to love. When she's in love, she's like she's possessed.

This was true with Manager Bai, and it was also true with Ying Qin later on. Sometimes they were adorably silly, and sometimes they were so stupid they could make you cry.

This matter is easy to handle; the key is to strike a balance so that Qiu Yingying learns a lesson without suffering the loss of her virginity.

The way to deal with Supervisor Bai also needs to be carefully considered: should we simply punish him or send him to jail?

After thinking about it for a while, Li Mu decided to leave the matter to fate and give Manager Bai a chance.

If he is a greedy person, he deserves to go to jail; if he is not so greedy, he has escaped a terrible fate.

Li Mu plans to handle the matter by using the same methods he used against Li Wei in the previous world, accusing him of embezzlement.

According to the plot, Manager Bai often falsely issues invoices for reimbursement and has many such private dealings with several restaurants. In one episode, Manager Bai went to a bathhouse and had them charge him for all of it as a meeting reception fee.

Later, after falling out with Qiu Yingying, he used his power to make things difficult for her and suppress her. Unexpectedly, Qiu Yingying was so fierce that she flipped the table and reported Manager Bai for issuing false invoices on the spot.

As the head of the finance department, he took advantage of his position to fraudulently issue several expense reports within a little over a week, pocketing the money for himself.

Manager Bai was fired on the spot and left the company under the watchful eyes of security guards.

This is a great opportunity to delve deeper into this matter.

Having worked in the finance department for so many years, given Manager Bai's character and temperament, it's impossible that he only recently had such thoughts; he must have been engaging in such fraudulent invoice issuance for reimbursement and cash-out activities long ago.

It's hard to say how much money has been involved over the years.

According to the Criminal Law, this constitutes the crime of embezzlement, and amounts exceeding 60,000 yuan can lead to criminal charges.

As for whether it will lead to criminal charges, that depends on how greedy Manager Bai is.

The process is simple and only requires a small amount of money. Find a reputable private investigation agency to thoroughly investigate Manager Bai, including which restaurants and other establishments he collaborates with, and whether he issues false invoices and expense reports.

No evidence is needed, just a rough estimate of the amount of money. If it meets the criteria for criminal prosecution, it can be handled in the same way as in the previous world.

Old Beijing had its donors, and Shanghai certainly had its share. By spending some money through these donors, they could get the shareholders or directors of the company where Manager Bai and Qiu Yingying worked to directly push for an audit of the accounts that Manager Bai had handled in the past.

If the amount is less than 60,000, the person will be dismissed immediately and required to return the embezzled funds. They will also bear certain legal responsibilities, and their resume will be tarnished. Forget about continuing in finance; they might even have difficulty finding other jobs.

If it exceeds 60,000, it's even simpler: just hand it over to the police and send them in for two years.

Of course, all of this depends on whether Manager Bai is so greedy as to reach the threshold of 60,000 yuan for criminal prosecution.

Having made up his mind, Li Mu planned to find someone to handle it tomorrow, to get it done as soon as possible and avoid any unexpected problems along the way.

Just as I thought of this, I suddenly felt a jolt, and saw Fan Shengmei lying there, busy with something.

While enjoying himself, Li Mu also felt a bit sentimental. Fan Shengmei was really willing to let go of her pride, and her skills had recently started to improve, making him a little reluctant to part with her.

Don't be fooled by your impressions from previous dramas. After all, with his involvement, the world has changed. The Fan Shengmei of today is not the Fan Shengmei of the past.

Perhaps we can offer more incentives from now on, so they don't have to suffer too much.

Chapter 129 Expanding the Company

The next day, upon arriving at the company and seeing the extra 600 million yuan in cash in the company's accounts, Li Mu decided to further accelerate the company's development and officially launch the Douyin project.

However, with the rapid increase in Toutiao's user base, the need for manpower is growing, and with the launch of Douyin, a large number of developers are also required, so the company needs to expand further.

After talking with Executive Vice President Liu Tianming, we rented five floors of the building, more than 11,000 square meters, with an annual rent of about 20 million yuan.

With this addition, Origin Technology will occupy eight floors of the building, which can accommodate three to four thousand people working at the same time, making it a fairly large internet company.

Li Mu didn't waste any effort on Manager Bai's matter. He spent a little money and arranged for someone to handle it. He believed that Qiu Yingying would be given a surprise that would make her cry for half a day.

……

That day, Li Mu drove back to Joyful Ode. As soon as he opened the car door and got out, a pretty figure rushed up to him.

"Brother Li Mu, you're finally back."

But Qu Xiaoxiao pounced on him.

Li Mu ruffled her hair, pushed her aside, and straightened her up: "Hey Qu Xiaoxiao, what kind of act are you putting on?"

Qu Xiaoxiao said excitedly, "Good brother, I came here specifically to thank you. I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

Li Mu seemed to realize something and tapped her on the forehead: "So, you've finally achieved your goal and become the CEO of the subsidiary."

Qu Xiaoxiao nodded excitedly: "My dad handed over the most lucrative subsidiary of the parent company to me. Good brother, I heard from my dad that he wouldn't have changed his mind if it weren't for you! Let me thank you properly."

Li Mu said, "No need for thanks. I was just making a suggestion, it was no trouble at all. Can you please stand up and speak properly?"

Qu Xiaoxiao pouted: "Brother Li Mu, I came here specifically to thank you, why are you treating me like this?"

Li Mu said, "Alright, I've already felt your gratitude. Stop rubbing against my arm; I don't like it."

Li Mu's words made Qu Xiaoxiao blush instantly, and then she pounced on him, baring her teeth and claws: "Bad brother, you're a pervert, you're bullying me..."

Li Mu quickly grabbed her hand and said with a smile, "Just kidding."

Qu Xiaoxiao bared her teeth and claws again, but seeing that she had no power to resist Li Mu, she finally gave up and stopped wasting her time.

Her eyes darted around, and she leaned closer to whisper, "Brother Li Mu, you guessed wrong. Do you want to know the answer? Maybe I'll give you a chance..."

Li Mu said, "No need. Your scale doesn't need actual measurement; it can be seen with a glance."

Qu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes in anger and let out a scream.

Li Mu watched silently as she finished venting her anger, then said, "Don't think that just because you're in the CEO position, everything will be fine. This position isn't easy, and company affairs aren't so simple to handle."

"You have no work experience and you've suddenly been promoted to a high position. You need to be mentally prepared for the future, so you don't end up crying in private when you don't know anything."
