Chapter 272: Li Situ Situ Jie: Is this high-end business warfare?

"Great! Five Star Charity Foundation, we trust you!"

"Right! What the Li Family Foundation can't do, the Five Star Charity Foundation can definitely do!"

"We support you!"

The citizens shouted loudly, one after another.

Director Director Guan Zu's approval rating in the Hong Kong Island District was 24%, and at this moment, it was fully reflected among this group of people.

Five Star Charity was more capable of gaining the trust of the citizens than the Li Family Foundation.

Nearby,

Li Situ Situ Jie looked on, feeling a mix of shock and uncertainty.

It was too bizarre.

Just a moment ago, this group of people had all been acting maliciously, exposing the true nature of unruly mobs.

Yet, after laughing said that, these unruly mobs became as obedient as sheep?

What the hell!

laughing smiled, signaled for everyone to be quiet, and continued:

"Thank you for your trust and support. Our Five Star Charity Foundation has now set up in the North Point District. Please help us spread the word; if anyone has difficulties, you can come to us to register."

"As for the matter of the unpaid wages, it won't drag on for too long. How about 3 days!"

laughing said, full of confidence.

In fact, even without needing Director Director Guan Zu's help, with laughing's flexible bottom line, dealing with this Lin Lin Decheng was a piece of cake.

As soon as these words were spoken,

The whole crowd cheered.

"That's great!"

"Five Star Charity is truly impressive!"

"The Li Family Foundation is not even a fraction as good as Five Star!"

The Li Situ Situ Jie standing nearby felt his anger rising rapidly as he listened.

Unruly mobs!

Unruly mobs!

However, he sneered in his heart: If Five Star can't handle that Lin Lin Decheng, then you will be bitten back by these unruly mobs!

The more smug you are now, the more you will cry later!

The higher you are lifted, the harder you will fall!

Just at this moment,

A reporter from the Oriental Daily News received a news tip and rushed over.

Facing the reporter's interview, the citizens answered questions enthusiastically:

"Five Star Charity has already promised us to solve the unpaid wage problem within 3 days..."

"Five Star Charity is indeed as great as the rumors say!"

"The Li Family are just trash; they promised to help us solve the unpaid wage problem, but after several days, there's still no result."

Li Situ Situ Jie, who was in the middle of leaving, heard this and stumbled, almost falling to the ground.

Stop dragging our Li Family into this, you bastards!

Annoying!

He led his secretary away with quick steps.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be unable to resist beating these unruly mobs!

……

……

Evening, 20:00.

The night curtain hung low, and the city lights flickered like fireflies.

After Lin Lin Decheng and Lei Youcai finished a meal at a restaurant, he sat in his other Mercedes-Benz and headed home.

He used to drive himself, but after being 'hijacked' by Director Director Guan Zu last time, he started hiring a driver who also served as a bodyguard to drive for him.

The streetlights kept receding,

Just then, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

A van suddenly darted out from the side and deliberately cut off Lin Lin Decheng's Mercedes-Benz.

The path ahead was blocked, the driver was forced to brake, and the Mercedes-Benz came to a sudden stop on the side of the road.

At this moment,

The van's door slid open with a clatter, and several van-men... no, that's not right, it was hoodlums who came out of the car. Their figures, along with their clubs, were elongated under the streetlights, appearing exceptionally arrogant.

The bodyguard, who was supposed to protect his master, saw this scene and, without a word, revealed a harmless, silly smile.

The pay isn't high enough, it's not worth it!

laughing walked over and knocked on the glass of the back seat:

"Mr. Lin~~~"

Lin Lin Decheng was terrified and stammered, "What do you want to do? This is a main road, many cars pass by here. Also, the police will be here soon!"

The police?

Sorry, I am a cop!

laughing threw a cigarette into his mouth and lit it slowly:

This unhurried, leisurely, and confident demeanor made Lin Lin Decheng even more afraid.

He swallowed his saliva subconsciously.

laughing took a puff of the cigarette, exhaled, and then said:

"Mr. Lin, don't be afraid... I'm not here to rob you, nor am I here to kill anyone..."

"Today, our company received many requests for help from citizens, saying that you owe them over three million in wages..."

Here for the wages?

It's endless, isn't it!

Lin Lin Decheng immediately started cursing in his heart.

laughing: "By the way, let me introduce myself. I am the person in charge of the North Point District for the Five Star Charity Foundation..."

"My name is laughing, you can call me Brother laughing."

Eh?

Five Star Company?

Lin Lin Decheng was stunned for a moment.

His face turned green instantly.

Isn't this that bastard Director Director Guan Zu's company?

I've already lost hundreds of millions, and he still won't let me go?!

Do you think I'm easy to bully?!

Do you really think I'm made of cotton?!

Lin Lin Decheng's inner anger flared up, and then... he looked fawningly at laughing and his lackeys, who were armed with knives and clubs, and gave a fawning smile:

"Unpaid wages, right?"

"No problem, I will definitely pay them back tomorrow!"

Straightforward!

"Very good!"

laughing snapped his fingers: "I really like your attitude!"

"However, perhaps you are not clear about the rules of our Five Star Charity Foundation. Our vision is: to let all people in difficulty receive help, and to let all bad people receive the punishment they deserve. Since you delayed the wages of those employees, you need to add 10% compensation on top of that."

Lin Lin Decheng: "............"

A bit angry.

"Why?!"

"Just because we, Five Star, have intervened. If Five Star hadn't intervened, you would have to pay 3 million. Since Five Star has intervened, you still pay 3 million, wouldn't that mean our Five Star came here for nothing?"

"............"

Fine, fine, so that's how you want to play!

Lin Lin Decheng was almost moved to tears by anger.

It was too damn bullying.

He glanced at the knives, clubs, and tiger-leopard tattoos of the hoodlums behind laughing, and then thought of Director Director Guan Zu's words last time: 'Those who do wrong and refuse to admit it, I will definitely find a way to help them'...

Forget it, forget it, I can't afford to offend them!

"I'll pay! I'll pay, okay!"

Lin Lin Decheng said with a bitter face.

laughing smiled: "That's more like it... I'll have those people go to your company to collect the money."

Lin Lin Decheng: "Okay, okay!"

With the matter settled,

laughing waved his hand, all the lackeys got into the car one after another, and the van sped away.

Lin Lin Decheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Then, seeing the driver/bodyguard who had been acting like a quail just moments ago, he was suddenly so enraged he cursed: "Useless trash! Why didn't you protect me just now!"

The driver defended himself: "Boss, I was protecting you too!"

Lin Lin Decheng: "??"

The driver: "Boss, think about it. If I had resisted, it would have led to a conflict. It wouldn't matter if I got beaten up, but what if they had hit you, Boss? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?" "You have a net worth of over a billion, Boss. Getting into a conflict with this bunch and putting yourself in danger isn't worth it!"

Lin Lin Decheng: "............"

He was rendered speechless.

Damn it, what he said actually made quite a bit of sense.

"No, that's not right!"

Lin Lin Decheng came to his senses and exploded with rage.

F*ck your mother, I hired you to protect me, not to PUA me!

That evening,

!.

Laughing dispatched over 50 men to begin notifying every household:

"Following difficult and friendly negotiations between our Five Star Charity Foundation and Mr. Lin Lin Decheng!"

"Mr. Lin Lin Decheng has finally agreed to return all unpaid wages, and to express his apologies, he will add 10% compensation on top of the owed wages."

"Please go to Mr. Lin Lin Decheng's company tomorrow to collect your unpaid wages..."

As the notifications reached them,

every single North Point neighbor who had been owed wages became excited.

"That's great!"

"As expected of the Five Star Group!"

They praised them one after another.

A new day dawned, and the North Point citizens who had been owed wages all ran to Lin Lin Decheng's company to collect their money.

Although Lin Lin Decheng was a cunning man, he was quite honest when he was intimidated. With over 100 people owed wages, he quickly signed off and settled the payments.

Just like that,

the unpaid wage crisis was thoroughly resolved.

After the citizens returned home, they began to spread the word to their neighbors about how good Five Star Charity was.

"The Five Star Group is too amazing."

"That Li Situ Situ Jie spent several days on it, but it had no effect at all. As soon as Five Star arrived, it was settled."

"Exactly, and they call themselves a top wealthy family? Is that it?"

"Thank you, Five Star Group!"

"From now on, I support the Five Star Group!"

"Support!"

The news quickly spread throughout North Point.

North Point is a somewhat special place.

Most of its residents are Fujianese—yes, the very Fujianese who are often teased about being eaten by Cantonese people.

In the 1930s, the Li Li Fujian Zhangzhou-born wealthy merchant Guo Chunyang, known as the "Sugar King of Nanyang," came to North Point.

He built over three hundred shops in the reclaimed land area, which later became Chunyang Street.

This place gradually became a settlement for Fujianese people doing trade business in Hong Kong, and was later called by people:

Little Li Li Fujian!

There is a saying: Fujianese people from Southern Li Li Fujian understand the character "Min" (閩) this way: a worm inside a gate. If you stay at home, you can only become a worm, so if you want to become a dragon, you must leave your hometown and head out into the world.

Therefore, Li Li Fujian is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese, and their shadows can be found all over the world.

And at this moment, half of these employees who were owed wages were Fujianese.

Thus, the news quickly spread to the ears of every Fujianese person in North Point.

At noon,

in the famous commercial district of North Point, Taikoo Shing,

Li Situ Situ Jie was having lunch at a Japanese izakaya.

Inside the private room, Li Situ Situ Jie sat on a soft cushion on the tatami mat.

A low dining table was placed in front of him, covered with plates of Japanese cuisine.

Fresh tuna, salmon, and sweet shrimp sashimi platter; as well as eel sushi, salmon roe sushi, sea urchin sushi; and a serving of piping hot tempura...

Ring ring ring~~~

The secretary's phone rang.

The secretary answered the call, was startled, and after hanging up, told Li Situ Situ Jie about what had happened with Lin Lin Decheng.

"What?!"

"That punk Lin Lin Decheng actually paid the money back?!"

Li Situ Situ Jie stood up abruptly.

Shocked!

"How is that possible?"

"That Lin Lin Decheng is impervious to reason, how did they manage to do it?"

Li Situ Situ Jie found it hard to believe.

He had used many methods, yet Lin Lin Decheng hadn't backed down, but as soon as Five Star arrived, he conceded.

What the hell?!

He wasn't exactly angry, as he was quite shrewd, but he was extremely curious about what exactly had happened.

Li Situ Situ Jie: "Investigate, see what's going on."

Secretary: "Yes!"

Although plates of tempting Japanese food were laid out on the table, Li Situ Situ Jie no longer had the mood to eat.

He felt very irritated!

He had actually been outdone.

Whether it was a coincidence or not, just at this moment, Lin Lin Decheng happened to arrive here for a meal with a friend.

Passing through the corridor outside the door, Lin Lin Decheng's familiar voice drifted in.

Li Situ Situ Jie quickly stood up and walked out of the private room.

"Lin Lin Decheng!"

Lin Lin Decheng and his friend turned around and were stunned to see Li Situ Situ Jie.

"Mr. Li, what a coincidence!"

"Lin Lin Decheng, didn't you refuse to return those unpaid wages no matter what? Why did you pay them back?" Li Situ Situ Jie's voice carried a hint of interrogation; he was clearly very unconvinced.

"Mr. Li, what do you mean by that? I, Lin Lin Decheng, am a man of high moral character, how could I possibly be the type of person who doesn't pay back owed wages?!" Lin Lin Decheng said with his head held high.

Pfft~~

Li Situ Situ Jie almost spat out a mouthful of salt soda at Lin Lin Decheng.

You? High moral character?!

However, there must be a reason he didn't know about for Lin Lin Decheng to change like this.

"Come in!"

Li Situ Situ Jie dragged Lin Lin Decheng into his private room and closed the door.

"Alright, there's no one here now, you can tell me the truth."

"I approached you many times, and you refused to pay back the money no matter what; yet as soon as Five Star Charity Company appeared, you obediently paid up... what exactly is the reason?"

He was extremely curious!

Lin Lin Decheng looked around, saw no one, and whispered to Li Situ Situ Jie:

"It's very simple, because you are a good person!"

"What?!"

Li Situ Situ Jie found it hard to believe, but soon realized what Lin Lin Decheng meant.

He was trembling with rage!

Bang~~ He slapped the table!

"What kind of bullsh*t logic is this!"

"Do good people deserve to be bullied?!"
