107: Chapter 107: The little waste becomes a eunuch

Song Yuan felt that spending even a single cent to deal with such scum was a waste.

He opened his app to check the stock market; Tianyu Company's stock had fallen by eight percent today, which was slightly better than the previous continuous limit-down drops.

The stock he bought had hit five consecutive limit-up gains, and it was pretty much at its peak.

Song Yuan sold all his stocks, securing his profits, and made a net gain of over ten W in this wave.

Tianyu Company.

The trending topic about Li Mingqi was removed, costing a total of seven million yuan.

He finally dared to go to the company, but as soon as he arrived at his office, he was cornered by a group of directors who had been waiting for him for days and finally caught him.

“Li Mingqi, how dare you show up? Who will bear our losses?”

“You know that a company president’s marriage affects the company’s stock, yet you still messed around outside. Li Mingqi, what are you thinking?”

“We must get an explanation today. The stock has hit four consecutive limit-down drops, and today it fell by eight percent. If nothing unexpected happens, it will fall again tomorrow.

If you can't be the president, you might as well step down early.”

Li Mingqi's head was about to explode.

“Everyone, please calm down! I swear to you all that I will not divorce. The company’s stock price drop is only temporary, and our market value will recover.

Our game will soon be available for download and installation in the app market, which is good news.

Please trust me, okay?”

Several directors looked at each other. They knew Li Mingqi had been working on a mobile game recently. If the game passed the review, it would be beneficial for the company's development and indeed good news.

“When will the game be launched? Is there a definite time?”

Li Mingqi looked at the calendar on his desk. It had been five working days since he sent the game submission email he stole from Song Yuan, so there should be news by next week at the latest.

He replied,

“About three working days.”

The directors bought into the big promise he painted.

“Alright, then we’ll wait three more days for you!”

Once they left, Li Mingqi's ears finally had some peace. He called Liang Kuan over.

“It's been several days since the application emails were submitted to Android and Apple. Why haven't we received a reply yet?”

Liang Kuan used to be a project director at another company, also developing apps, so he had some experience.

Liang Kuan patted his chest and assured him,

“President Li, don’t worry, it will definitely pass the review, it’s just a matter of time. Based on my experience in app development, it will be a week at the fastest and two weeks at the slowest. Let's wait patiently for five more working days; we will definitely receive the approval email.”

Li Mingqi was reassured.

“Alright, then I’ll wait for your good news.”

Once their game hit the market, what could Song Yuan do even if he won the lawsuit?

Even if they didn't continue developing, they could still disgust Song Yuan to death.

If he could just anger Song Yuan, that would be enough for him.

But he had no idea that Song Yuan could hack into the official mailboxes and delete their application emails, cutting off their possibilities at the root.

On Song Yuan's side, the HR and legal personnel he hired earlier arrived this afternoon.

The team was expanding, and more people would be continuously hired in the future.

This temporary office area was no longer sufficient, and there were only two small rooms used as meeting rooms. Song Yuan didn't even have a dedicated office.

He handed this task to the new HR, asking her to find an office building that was conveniently located and reasonably priced, negotiate the price, sign the contract, and then move the entire company there.

The young HR lady was named Gao Tian, and true to her name, she was tall and very clever.

She received such a challenging task right after joining. She knew it was hard to please everyone, and no matter how she chose the location, it wouldn't satisfy everyone in the company.

After understanding the rental market in various areas, she simply sent several selectable locations to the group chat and let everyone vote.

Finally, the area in the East Fourth Ring Road won the vote.

For important decisions like choosing an office area, of course, the leader has a veto right.

Gao Tian came to Song Yuan with a magnified map on her iPad.

“President Song, everyone prefers this area. The location is in the East Fourth Ring Road, where multiple subway lines pass through, making transportation convenient. Do you think I can look for an office building in this area?”

Song Yuan zoomed in on the map and looked. Although this location was in the Fourth Ring Road, it was directly east of Shiyu's company, so it wasn't far by car.

If employees rented houses nearby, the rent would also be relatively cheaper.

Song Yuan nodded.

“I think it’s fine. If everyone agrees, then let’s look in this area.”

“Okay, President Song, I’ll go look immediately.”

It took Song Yuan a while to check his phone, and Gu Shiyuan was furiously sending him messages.

【Brother-in-law, can you not choose the Fourth Ring Road? I live in the West Third Ring Road. Are you making me commute to the Seventh Ring Road every day? Are you really my brother-in-law?】

【Quick, tell that new colleague not to choose the east side, choose towards the west!】

【Brother-in-law?】

...

Song Yuan scratched his eyebrow with his index finger. He really didn't know Gu Shiyuan lived in the West Third Ring Road.

However, that young master was so rich; he should just buy another house in the east. Even if he bought a villa, it would just be a matter of him giving orders.

As for the other colleagues, there were many factors to consider. The rent for residential buildings in that area was slightly lower, and for the same price elsewhere, they could live in a better environment. This was very friendly to the working people.

【Your sister's company is in the East Third Ring Road, so choose the east side!】

Gu Shiyuan: 【??? Brother-in-law, I'm on your side, you can't side with my sister and bully me together!】

Song Yuan ignored him, letting Gu Shiyuan process it himself.

The afternoon was the time agreed upon by the Lin family and the debt collection company for repayment.

The debt collection company called Song Yuan on time.

“Mr. Song, the Lin family originally had the money ready to repay, but now things are a bit complicated. Their daughter has returned and said she has a connection with you, and she is desperately preventing her father from paying.

We are not sure what your relationship with her is, so we called to ask. If she is talking nonsense, then rest assured, we have ways to get this money and will not show her any mercy.”

Upon hearing this, Song Yuan realized Lin Xueyao had returned.

He recalled the words of the Lin family father and son that morning, and couldn't help but feel utterly ironic.

She still hadn't given up on that family.

“Give her the phone, I’ll say a few words to her.”

Soon, Lin Xueyao’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Song Yuan, we had a relationship once, so I'm begging you, don't force my family to a dead end. Do you really want those people to ruin my younger brother? If that happens, then let them stab me with knives, I'll bear this pain for my brother!”

Song Yuan's mind went blank. How could he have not seen before that Lin Xueyao, besides being beautiful, was utterly useless, even a bit brainless?

“Lin Xueyao, Lin Hai and Lin You came to see me this morning. Do you want to know what they said?”

Lin Xueyao was silent on her end. Song Yuan told her, word for word,

“They said to make you my prostitute, to play with you however I want, on-call, to offset the debt based on the number of times. That’s your value in your family’s eyes!”

After Song Yuan finished speaking, the other end of the phone fell into silence.

Then, a thud was heard from that end, and crying came through the phone. A few seconds later, the call disconnected.

Song Yuan looked at his phone screen, wondering if those burly men really castrated that useless little Lin You.
