333: Overshadowing the Master
Speaking of the matter between Wang Ji and Li Cong, it was quite strange how Su Yue came to know about it; he found out by chance.
He used to be quite indifferent to such gossip, but this time the events that unfolded were simply too interesting.
Li Haoyang mentioned it during a dinner gathering among colleagues in the evening. Since there were no superiors present during the dinner, the conversation among everyone was relatively free.
Li Haoyang was drunk at the time, his face flushed.
He spoke loudly at the dinner table: "Do you know? That Wang Ji is a live-streamer specializing in selling goods, cultivated by Li Cong. His daily transaction volume is in the hundreds of millions. Guess what happened?"
Li Haoyang looked at Su Yue and played coy, and Su Yue cooperated fully, shaking his head.
"Li Cong and the others didn't want this Wang Ji to become too famous, to prevent him from potentially taking a share of the company's equity, so they forcefully pulled him down, to the point where Wang Ji is now somewhat erratic."
Li Haoyang was very excited speaking while drunk, but Su Yue listened to the matter thoughtfully.
Wang Ji actually possessed such talent. Although he seemed to have gone crazy, it didn't necessarily mean he had given up on himself. Perhaps there was still a chance to make use of him.
Su Yue set his sights on Wang Ji; this matter would definitely have a turning point.
Furthermore, Su Yue believed Wang Ji could also bring him a path to wealth. His mind had always been very flexible, and he had a keen nose for opportunities to get rich like this.
Among those present at the gathering, only Su Yue and Li Haoyang were men. Su Yue couldn't remember how he laboriously carried Li Haoyang back to the hotel.
He could only spend time with him at this moment. Su Yue wasn't helping for free; he would definitely take the opportunity to extort something from Li Haoyang.
By the time the sun was high, Li Haoyang finally opened his sleepy eyes.
At this moment, Su Yue had already started working at the table in the hotel room; he was using a laptop to communicate with staff in other locations for work.
Li Haoyang was still a bit surprised to see this scene, and also felt a little guilty, not expecting Su Yue to be so diligent in his work.
Su Yue's meeting ended, and at the same time, the hotel breakfast was delivered, which was very luxurious.
Su Yue looked up at Li Haoyang: "You're finally awake. If you don't have anyone you know next time, I suggest you don't drink alcohol; it's simply too torturous."
Even someone as thick-skinned as Li Haoyang actually blushed slightly at this moment.
Su Yue was very slow in this regard. "Come and eat quickly. Oh, by the way, I have something to tell you today."
Li Haoyang, wearing loose clothes, sat in front of Su Yue, picked up his knife and fork, and retorted, "What is it? Just say it directly."
Su Yue also picked up a sandwich and said, "Regarding Wang Ji, whom you mentioned at the gathering, I need to know if you can sign this person to our company."
Li Haoyang was stunned when he heard Su Yue say this, and he even forgot to eat: "Su Yue, are you crazy? This Wang Ji has a lot of stains, and given his current physical condition, working would be extremely difficult, and it might damage our company's image."
Su Yue had carefully considered the situation Li Haoyang described; he didn't speak carelessly.
"That is indeed the case, I agree with your idea, but I want to squeeze out his last bit of value."
Li Haoyang was also very interested when he heard Su Yue say this: "How so? It seems you already have an idea."
Su Yue nodded: "Li Cong has an inconspicuous small e-commerce company under him. Letting Wang Ji go in and do live-streaming sales isn't a bad method. Furthermore, I've assessed Wang Ji's current physical condition, and he is very healthy right now."
How could Su Yue personally take Wang Ji for a physical examination? He only learned this using his own abilities.
At this moment, Li Haoyang was shocked again: "Su Yue, how did you know that? The matter between Li Cong and Wang Ji back then was very unpleasant."
"I have my own methods. In short, it was just Li Cong and Wang Ji destroying each other, but Wang Ji recently played a trick on Liang Yuzhu, and I'm still quite angry about that."
Li Haoyang also had a somewhat close relationship with Liang Yuzhu and had heard a little about this matter, not expecting such unpleasantness between them.
"The current judgment will definitely not give Wang Ji a severe punishment, but we can use some reasonable means to handle it."
Su Yue slowly analyzed it for Li Haoyang, who nodded: "That is indeed the case, I agree. I will follow your instructions later. Moreover, the subsequent work will be conducted within the e-commerce giant, which will not harm us in any way."
Things were proceeding according to the pre-arranged plan.
Wang Ji had already started small live-streaming sessions in the company, but due to the traffic accumulated from his previous live streams, a large number of people surged into the live stream room, and the popularity of the live stream room soared for a time.
This was also a situation Su Yue had anticipated. According to the current development of society, being 'black and red' is still 'red'. What people fear most when making money now is being unable to let go of their pride.
As long as someone breaks through this situation, they won't fear that there's any money they can't make.
Su Yue also knew this kind of relationship in the market and was very familiar with it.
Now, he had grasped this pattern.
Wang Ji himself was actually very comfortable; he was completely immersed in it, as if he had returned to his peak period.
However, all of this was merely an illusion; the truth of everything was breaking through the soil.
This live stream was unprecedentedly grand, successfully concluding with a transaction volume of fifty billion. Everyone who heard such a number would be envious.
They couldn't understand why this former internet celebrity who had fallen out of popularity would bring such high economic benefits.
All of this was thanks to the early promotion done by Su Yue; he was very good at using buyers' psychology to handle this matter.
Li Cong was very opposed to Wang Ji live-streaming at first; he didn't want anyone's prestige in this company to surpass his own, and even said he was very disgusted by it.
However, his current authority was almost hollowed out by Su Yue. Even if he expressed more opinions now, no one would listen to him.
He could only watch helplessly as Su Yue had Wang Ji handle this matter. He harbored resentment towards Su Yue, but his lack of any threat also made him feel very powerless.
After the live stream ended, Wang Ji was still smug when he saw his transaction volume, not expecting to return here so soon. Although the current venue was not as large as before, this was his chance to turn things around.
As long as there was a chance, Wang Ji would climb upwards; no one could stop him.
However, Wang Ji's idea would never be rewarded, after all, Su Yue was suppressing him from above.

Lan Zijun and Su Yue were discussing in the conference room.
"We achieved such a transaction volume by cooperating with Wang Ji, and our share of his earnings is also very high. If it doesn't work out, our subsequent cooperation will also have problems."
Lan Zijun expressed her thoughts. After all, helping a competitor so casually was not her usual style; they, as businessmen, valued profit.
"The current situation is indeed quite tricky, but I will also have my own methods, such as signing a gambling agreement with him, letting him mentor our newcomers. There are many ways to restrain him." Su Yue proposed a series of ideas, which were simple and feasible.
This was indeed a good method for them.
"What you said makes sense. We can adopt this method later."
Lan Zijun was still persuaded by Su Yue.
Su Yue said he would squeeze out Wang Ji's value, so he did not ignore the harm Wang Ji had caused to Liang Yuzhu. Therefore, he chose his own way to retaliate, and he would also profit from it.
Wang Ji was now desperately working for Su Yue.
Liang Yuzhu was still very shocked when she heard Su Yue's idea at home.
"You provided Wang Ji with a job?" Liang Yuzhu was a little incredulous.
"Don't worry, trust me, I will make it impossible for him to harm others in the future." Su Yue said firmly. His feelings for Liang Yuzhu were also sincere; he would not betray her for the sake of immediate profit.
Liang Yuzhu found it difficult to accept such a contrast, but thinking that Su Yue wouldn't have such bad intentions, she slowly calmed down.
"But still, thank you. I don't want you to hurt yourself because of this matter." Liang Yuzhu was now somewhat calm.
"It's nothing, just letting the bad guy receive the punishment he deserves." Su Yue had his own reasons for his actions.
Su Yue was like a bright ray of sunshine in Liang Yuzhu's life, allowing her to see hope for the future.
Later, Su Yue's schedule became very busy. Due to the significant increase in strength after acquiring the company, the subsequent arrangements were also very tight.
But judging from Su Yue's own situation, none of these were problems.
The plan to gradually erode Wang Ji was also being implemented step by step: letting Wang Ji mentor newcomers, actively diverting his own traffic to the company's live-streamers, and driving the development of related industries. These were all part of Su Yue's plan, and achieving success was only a matter of time.
This time, to enhance his image, the company arranged a feature interview for Su Yue. Many people were curious about such a legendary life and wanted to know how such a person achieved success.
Su Yue didn't show much resistance to this; on the contrary, he was quite willing to accept it.
It was just that the reporter who came for the interview surprised him greatly.
They chose to conduct the interview at Su Yue's home. To avoid disturbing Su Yue too much, they only used three staff members for the interview.
When the staff members arrived at Su Yue's home, they were still quite surprised. They hadn't expected Su Yue to live so simply, in a place like a City Village. Someone who didn't know might have thought it was the suburbs.
The staff members maintained a very professional work attitude and did not ask questions unrelated to work.
The staff member interviewing Su Yue was Yang Zi, a big name in the industry. She had interviewed many famous celebrities, scientists, and industry elites, so her professionalism was self-evident.
She would definitely earn a thumbs-up from people.
When Su Yue first met her, he had a feeling of familiarity, as if they had met before.
Yang Zi was very easygoing in her interactions, possessing a temperament that didn't quite fit her, yet it made people feel comfortable.
Everything was ready.
Yang Zi spoke: "Mr. Su, can we start now?"
"Yes." Su Yue made an OK gesture.
The interview between the two went very smoothly, making Su Yue feel more and more familiar. He felt like he had seen this person somewhere before, but couldn't pinpoint the exact feeling, which only made him curious.
Although there were some sharp points during the interview, these were also key pieces of information they used to capture readers' attention, and Su Yue expressed his understanding.
The interview was long, but they didn't take any breaks in between, and time passed quickly.
After it ended, Su Yue also kept a thought in mind and asked Yang Zi: "Have we met somewhere before?"
Su Yue looked at Yang Zi without blinking and said. Yang Zi was very beautiful, with a pair of apricot eyes paired with a delicate and atmosphere appearance, which easily left an impression on people.
Yang Zi smiled slightly. Su Yue was also amused by his seemingly flirtatious remark, wondering why he would ask like that; it was too abrupt.
"I thought you would never remember me." Su Yue was still very shocked when he heard this sentence. Yang Zi spoke again: "We were middle school classmates. Did you forget so quickly?"
When Su Yue heard Yang Zi say this, he patted his forehead and instantly remembered things from the past.
"Look at my memory, how could I forget such an important thing? As soon as you said it, I instantly remembered." Su Yue really didn't mean to. He wanted to use his ability to check, but he found it inconvenient and decided against it.
"It's true that girls change a lot as they grow up; I didn't expect you to become more and more beautiful." Su Yue was very good at complimenting people, and Yang Zi was very happy to hear it.
"I knew you were sweet-mouthed back in school, I didn't expect you to still be so glib now."
"I think saying that is not an exaggeration when complimenting you."
"It has to be you. I feel like the interview process with you today was very smooth, no wonder there's the chemistry of classmates." Yang Zi expressed that this cooperation was also very comfortable.
He hadn't expected their relationship to be quite deep.
"It's just a bit inconvenient. I still have work to deal with. If it were before, we would definitely have had a good get-together." Su Yue looked troubled.
"It's good that we are both in the same city. If we want to meet, it's very convenient. We can exchange contact information, and it's also convenient to discuss work matters."
Although they felt a bit unfamiliar when they first met, by the end, they had reconnected.
The friendship from middle school was still very deep between the two of them.
