Gangster heir? Please call me a legitimate entrepreneur.

Chairman's office, top floor of Sihai Building.

Su Ye leaned back in the large boss's chair.

The silver thermos in my hand, which I never forget, is steaming, with goji berries swirling on the surface.

He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his gaze falling through the lenses onto the huge data monitoring screen on the wall.

On the screen, the red line representing the daily active users of "Sihai Short Video" shot upwards like a rocket.

It has already surpassed the five million mark.

The fighting power of those neighborhood committee aunties was even more terrifying than he had anticipated.

For the few hundred yuan reward for making a tip, they didn't even spare the vagrants who stole manhole covers in the alley at night.

"Brother Su."

Lei Hu pushed open the double wooden door and strode in.

The bald head reflected the light from the overhead lamp, and the scar on his face twitched slightly with excitement.

He held a tablet computer in his hand and strode over to the desk.

"Brother Su! Zhang Ming is amazing!"

Lei Hu, with his hoarse voice, strained to the highest register.

"The algorithm he came up with hooked people up without them even realizing it."

"All the henchmen who used to guard our place have now become livestreamers. There's this guy called 'Tattooed Arm Qiang,' who streams himself chewing garlic every day, and he's actually become incredibly popular! He gets tens of thousands in tips every night!"

Su Ye lowered his head and took a sip of warm water, his Adam's apple bobbing.

"Yes. Once the traffic picks up, you need high-quality content."

He put down his cup and tapped his fingers lightly twice on the solid wood table.

"Have those streamers who became popular on the platform signed contracts with their respective agencies?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Hu's face instantly fell.

He grabbed the bald head with his large, fan-like hand and scratched it hard twice.

"The contract is signed. But... Brother Su, I was just about to report this to you."

Lei Hu lowered his voice, his eyes revealing a fierce glint.

"Several capital guilds in the south are envious of our traffic and are secretly spending money to poach our talent."

"That tattooed guy, along with a few other internet celebrities who danced with their waists twisting, took hundreds of thousands of yuan in signing fees, and suddenly stopped broadcasting this morning."

"I heard he's going to switch jobs to that 'Penguin Live' platform."

Lei Hu became increasingly angry as he spoke, his chest heaving violently.

"Brother Su! These ungrateful wretches! They eat our food and then smash our pot!"

He suddenly pulled out the large black pliers he usually used to cut network cables from his lower back and tossed them in his hand.

"I'll take Er Lengzi and the others to teach these little internet celebrities how to spell 'death'!"

"stop."

Su Ye's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a bucket of ice water poured over Lei Hu's head.

His eyes suddenly turned cold, revealing an undeniable air of authority.

"Lei Hu, is your brain filled with nothing but tofu dregs?"

Su Ye stood up, the hem of his coat drawing a sharp arc in the air.

"What kind of society do we live in now? A society governed by the rule of law."

"You're always cutting people's internet cables with pliers and chopping off their fingers? Do you think this is some old-fashioned gang?"

Lei Hu shuddered in fright and quickly shoved the pliers back into his crotch.

He stammered, "Brother Su, I just can't swallow this. They breached the contract first!"

"Breach of contract?"

Su Ye's lips curled into a cold smile.

"If there's a breach of contract, then use the methods for dealing with breaches of contract."

He pressed the intercom button on the table.

"Have Linda Lin Dai bring some people over."

Less than three minutes.

Lin Dai walked into the office, her ten-centimeter red-soled high heels clicking as she went.

He wore a well-tailored, iron-gray business suit, and his eyes behind his black-rimmed glasses were as sharp as knives.

Behind her followed five lawyers in suits and carrying briefcases.

They are all elites from the Nanshan Pizza Hut team.

"President Su." Lin Dai stopped and bowed slightly.

Su Ye picked up the thermos.

"Have the breach of contract penalties been calculated for those streamers who jumped ship?"

Lin Dai opened the black leather folder in her hand and spoke rapidly, like an emotionless newsreel.

"It's all settled. According to Article 3 of the exclusive brokerage agreement we signed with them."

"If someone unilaterally terminates the contract and jumps to a competing platform, the penalty for breach of contract will be calculated as one hundred times their highest historical monthly income on the Sihai platform."

She pushed up her glasses, the lenses reflecting a cold light.

"The penalty for breach of contract for the tattooed man is 23 million. The other dance streamers all have penalties of over 8 million."

Lei Hu, listening nearby, kept swallowing hard.

Twenty-three million?

Even if these internet celebrities cut all the kidneys off and sold them in Southeast Asia, they still wouldn't make enough to cover this small amount!

The woman in the legal department is even more ruthless than him!

"very good."

Su Ye nodded in satisfaction.

He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the traffic below, which resembled ants.

"Director Lin, bring your team."

He turned around, his gaze behind his glasses sharp as an eagle's.

"Go teach these young people what the spirit of contract is."

……

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

A high-end single apartment in Longhai City.

Qiang, with his tattooed arms, was lying on the sofa in a flashy pajama set, happily counting the balance in his phone account.

The 500,000 yuan signing fee from Tencent Live has already been received.

"Hehe, that crappy platform Sihai is nothing. I'm a big streamer backed by a major company now."

He was picking at his toes, looking smug.

"Knock knock knock!"

The security door was suddenly knocked on, the sound urgent and heavy.

"Who is it?! Leave the delivery at the door!"

The tattooed man yelled impatiently, then slowly got up to open the door.

The door was just opened a crack.

A tremendous force pushed the door open, nearly breaking his nose.

Lin Dai, accompanied by five expressionless lawyers, stood like a wall blocking the doorway.

She stepped into the house in her high heels, glancing disdainfully at the beer bottles and takeout boxes scattered on the floor.

"Who...who are you?! I've called the police for trespassing!"

The tattooed man was startled and pointed at Lin Dai, shouting in a fierce but cowardly tone.

Lin Dai ignored him.

She pulled a thick stack of legal documents, thirty pages long, from her briefcase.

He slammed the slap directly onto the greasy glass coffee table in front of the tattooed man.

A crisp "snap" sound.

"Mr. Zhang Qiang."

Lin Dai's voice was as cold as ice shards.

"I am Lin Dai, Legal Director of Sihai Holdings Group. This is due to your unilateral breach of the exclusive live-streaming agreement and your move to the Tencent platform."

She pointed her finger at the bright red court seal on the document.

"Our company has filed a lawsuit with the Longhai Intermediate People's Court."

"This is the pre-litigation property preservation ruling."

Lin Dai pushed up her black-rimmed glasses and stared at him as if he were dead.

"From this minute onwards, the 500,000 yuan signing fee in this China Construction Bank card under your name, as well as this apartment and the Honda Civic downstairs that is under mortgage, are all yours."

"All of them have been frozen and seized in accordance with the law."

The tattooed man's legs gave way, and he collapsed onto the carpet.

He opened his mouth like a fish out of water, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sound.

"Frozen...frozen? What right do you have to freeze my money! That's money I earned myself!"

A lawyer wearing gold-rimmed glasses stepped forward.

Produce a list of compensation.

"Mr. Zhang, according to the contract, your total penalty for breach of contract is RMB 23,450,000."

The lawyer gave a professional smile.

"If you are unable to pay this penalty within three days, we will apply to the court for enforcement and add you to the list of dishonest judgment debtors."

"That is, what is commonly known as a deadbeat," Lin Dai added coldly.

"You will no longer be able to take the high-speed rail or fly. Your children will not be able to attend private schools."

"Most importantly, all your live-streaming donations on other platforms will be directly deducted by the court to repay our company's debts."

Twenty-three million! A deadbeat!

These two words were like two giant iron hammers, slamming hard onto the head of the tattooed man.

His mind was buzzing, and his vision went black.

I thought I had climbed to a high position, but I never expected to step into the deepest hell!

This gangster not only doesn't beat people, he actually uses legal means to drive people to their deaths!

"Mr. Lin... I was wrong! I was really wrong!"

The tattooed man completely broke down.

He scrambled over and grabbed Lin Dai's leg, crying his eyes out.

"I'm not changing jobs! I'll return the 500,000 yuan to them! Please, please don't seize my house!"

Lin Dai took a step back in disgust and withdrew her leg.

Looking down at him.

"If only I had known then what I know now."

That evening.

A strange phenomenon has emerged on the short video platform Sihai.

All the big internet celebrities who previously threatened to switch platforms and stop broadcasting.

All of them started broadcasting simultaneously, neatly and in an orderly fashion.

One by one, they cried in front of the camera, their faces streaked with tears.

Qiang, with his tattooed arm, frantically stuffed garlic into his mouth, tears streaming down his face from the spiciness.

He shouted at the top of his lungs while looking at the screen.

"Thank you to the Sihai platform for giving me a second chance! President Su is like a second parent to me!"

"I was born a citizen of the four seas, and I will die a ghost of the four seas! Anyone who tries to make me switch jobs, I'll fight them!"

In a short time.

The entire internet live streaming industry was shaken.

Those headhunters that Tencent spent a fortune sending out watched as the streamer on the other side of the screen was crying and pleasuring his loyalty.

They were all dumbfounded.

What kind of sorcery did the Sihai Group use?

Even money can't sway these money-grubbing internet celebrities anymore?
