19: From this moment on, in Chapter 19, the roles of offense and defense have reversed!
"Following negotiations between our side and the concerned party, Lai Yong, Lai Yong's assets will be prioritized for the payment of wages to the employees of Qicai Technology."
The Staff Member solemnly read out the verdict-like result. Everyone present, whose bodies had been tense, instantly relaxed, slumping back into their chairs with varied expressions.
Old Ma and Chen Sheng exchanged a glance. The group of wage-seeking representatives tacitly stood up and bowed to the Staff Member and the suppliers to express their gratitude:
"Thank you!"
"Thank you for your help, and thank you to the government for your help!"
"Thank you all for your understanding!"
"Thank you!"
These few bows gave the frustrated suppliers a way out, and they all waved their hands to indicate it was only right.
"Our company can grit our teeth and hold on for a while longer; you are in more urgent need."
"As a responsible business owner, it is only right to prioritize resolving the employees' issues first."
"That's right! Your situation should be the top priority. At worst, I'll just go back and sell my house and car. I don't believe my company won't survive."
It was already a settled fact that Lai Yong's funds would first be used to pay off the wages of his employees, but how the remaining funds would be distributed was a new battlefield.
The suppliers, who had previously slumped back in their chairs, all straightened up again. Starting from their choice of words in responding to Chen Sheng and the others, a new round of maneuvering between them had officially begun.
However, this was no longer any of Chen Sheng and his group's business.
"We will immediately organize personnel to coordinate with the former HR and finance departments of Qicai Technology to verify the specific data on the wages the company owes everyone as soon as possible. Once verified, the wages will be deposited into your individual salary cards in order."
Under the questioning of the crowd, the Staff Member had no choice but to provide a timeline: "All work is expected to be completed within 7 working days, barring special circumstances."
"Thank you, leader!"
"Thank you for your help, leader!"
"I thank you on behalf of my whole family."
"Thank you!"
Having received the answer, everyone thanked the Staff Member for their help and quickly left the police station.
Just after leaving the police station, Old Liu excitedly suggested, "The matter has been resolved perfectly. How about we all go for a drink later to celebrate?"
Old Ma waved his hand. "It's neither early nor late right now. Let's do it next time. I have a job interview with a company later, so I'll be heading off first."
Watching Old Ma drive away in a cool manner, many people sighed sincerely, "It really has to be sales, damn it. They never have to worry about finding a job."
The threshold for sales is low; those with a junior college degree, vocational high school, or even a high school diploma can work in sales. Of course, precisely because the threshold for sales is low, the starting salary is also low, but once you really get into it, the pay... at the very least, you won't worry about finding work.
Chen Sheng also watched Old Ma leave with a hint of envy, thinking to himself that he should have chosen the path of sales from the beginning.
As for technology? Even a dog wouldn't touch it.
The technician positions needed by ordinary companies can be adequately filled by the 'workhorses' who have just graduated from professional colleges. The difference between them and veteran technicians lies in the experience of handling problems.
Companies can operate entirely through the 'old leading the new' method, which is precisely why Chen Sheng is in an awkward position right now. There are only so many positions available; he either has to rely on luck or lower his price...
Chen Sheng shook his head, shaking the messy thoughts out of his mind. "Damn it, I've gotten so used to being a workhorse that my thinking has become rigid!"
He was a man with a system. What did being a workhorse have to do with him!
Having figured this out, Chen Sheng bid farewell to everyone and, also under their slightly envious gazes, got into his car and drove away coolly. This time, he was truly going home.
Upon returning home, Chen Sheng first followed the sales records on the second-hand platform, took the corresponding items to the courier station downstairs, and packed them for shipment. After receiving the tracking codes, he returned home and entered the codes into the corresponding user boxes in the backend, making it convenient for the buyers to track their packages.
After finishing this, Chen Sheng dug a card reader out of a drawer, inserted the memory card he had taken from the dashcam into the reader, used his computer to copy out today's videos, and then backed up the recordings from his phone to the computer using file transfer technology.
Then he opened the editing software on his computer and started working hard.
"I'll show you for cancelling the order, I'll show you for not knowing the traffic rules, I'll show you for nagging endlessly the whole way, I'll show you for filing a false complaint..."
You have to say! Cursing while editing, the efficiency was top-notch. In less than an hour, a video based on facts and highlighting the young woman's idiocy was complete.
Adhering to the viral video editing principle of stating the point first and then using a flashback to enter the theme, Chen Sheng divided the video into a trilogy—Part 1, 2, and 3—and uploaded all three videos to the backend of his personal TikTok account. Chen Sheng gave them a catchy title: "Shocking! A passenger actually did this to the driver?"
News about what drivers do to passengers is already common online, but it is rare to see what passengers do to drivers. The key is the plot twist; only when netizens can't guess what happens does it have the potential to go viral.
Of course, the most crucial point was that when Chen Sheng published the first video, he immediately went to the backend, found Dou+, and without hesitation, invested five hundred into it. After all, even good wine needs promotion to be noticed.
Then, Chen Sheng set the other two videos to be published at a scheduled time. Once everything was done, he returned to the backend to check the data for the first video and saw that the view count was already approaching one hundred, and there were even eight comments.
Chen Sheng opened the comments and saw that among the eight comments, two were "Poor driver, unlucky to meet such a thing," and the remaining six comments were all discussing the young woman's idiotic behavior. Perhaps because the view count was low, there were currently no idiotic remarks like "thinking the young woman is in the right."
Chen Sheng leaned back in his chair and contentedly lit a cigarette. "Haha! From this moment on, the tables have turned."
Before, the young woman bullied him, cursed him, insulted him, laughed at him, belittled him, treated him cheaply, treated him maliciously, and deceived him; he endured it. With the camera there and the police there, he ignored her. Now, netizens bully her, curse her, insult her, laugh at her, belittle her, treat her cheaply, treat her maliciously, and deceive her. I wonder if she can endure it?
In a great mood, he waited for An Xiaonuan to get off work and come home, then suggested, "Wife, didn't you say you wanted to eat Western food a couple of days ago? It just so happens that your husband made some money today, so I'll treat you to dinner out tonight."
"Husband, do you have some happy news to share with me today?" An Xiaonuan performed as usual, immediately cooperating by putting on a curious and expectant expression.
Chen Sheng excitedly recounted how he happened to run into a silly cat chasing a mouse today, then happened to find the reward for the silly cat, and then how he used all his methods, pulling out all the stops to capture the silly cat, and finally exchanged the silly cat for a 5,000 reward.
In Chen Sheng's recounting, the whole process was full of fantasy elements, just like listening to a fantasy novel, and as the protagonist, he had all sorts of golden fingers maxed out. This caused An Xiaonuan to exclaim repeatedly.
"Wow! That's just too magical!"
"Haha! A cat can actually get stuck? This cat is too silly!"
"Oh my! I wasn't even at the scene for such an exciting event, what a pity."
After Chen Sheng finished telling the story, An Xiaonuan immediately offered a passionate kiss, "Husband! You are the best!"
