Chapter 148: Existence Beyond Cognition

The high-rise building of the new Company and the bustling environment around it finally gave everyone a bit of that "office worker" vibe.

Realizing this was a proper Company, they couldn't help but transform into corporate drones, listlessly getting to work.

Those who have energy at work are the real powerhouses.

Lin Sui finally had the chance to post a recruitment ad on the glass at the Company's front entrance, no longer needing to run around to job fairs.

She had already recruited an HR person at the job fair previously, so she could take it a bit easier from now on.

…

After the rush died down, a lawyer's letter arrived at Fenghua Media, in the hands of Xiao Zhong, the former operator for Colorful Lotus.

It was issued to him personally and had nothing to do with the Fenghua Media Company.

But the higher-ups still found out about it.

"What kind of unknown little company is this? They're targeting me!" When questioned by his superiors, Xiao Zhong firmly insisted that he was being envied by Lin Sui and her group.

"Meng Ge, you know how it is. These newly started little studios love to poach experienced people from big companies when they don't have anyone in the early stages. They wanted to poach me, I didn't go, and now they've got their sights set on me."

Xiao Zhong's lies rolled right off his tongue.

But what he said was somewhat logical, "You know Lotus, right? The Live Streamer I used to manage? When her contract expired and she didn't renew, she was poached by this little studio!"

"At first, they wanted to package me and Lotus together to take us both, but I would rather have taken a demotion than go!"

He observed Meng Ge's expression as he spoke.

Meng Ge was a mature man who looked to be about thirty years old; he was the boss of Fenghua Media.

He really couldn't understand how such a small matter could alarm the boss.

Xiao Zhong had never even heard the name This Is A Live Streaming Company and assumed it was just a small studio that had just been established.

He had a big company backing him, so what was there to fear from a little studio like that?

"Meng Ge, the more we pay attention to them, the more we give them clout. They want to step on our Company to climb up? We absolutely cannot give them that chance!"

"Is that all you want to say?" Meng Ge asked in a flat voice.

Xiao Zhong was stunned for a moment, then said hesitantly, "For a small matter like this, the Company should be able to help handle it, right?"

Meng Ge: "Mm."

Xiao Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I have nothing else to say."

He knew it; although he didn't have much room for promotion, he was still considered an old employee of the Company.

The Company definitely wouldn't abandon him.

The next second, he heard Meng Ge say: "Go to HR; you're fired."

"?"

This sentence made Xiao Zhong panic, "No, Meng Ge, Boss, you're laying off an old employee like me over such a small matter? When people tried to poach me, I didn't even go because I wanted to stay at the Company and continue to shine! I love this Company!"

Meng Ge leaned back in his chair, spinning a pen in his hand, "Whether you slandered them or they slandered you, you know the truth in your heart."

Afraid Xiao Zhong wouldn't understand, Meng Ge added bluntly: "The big brother's wife came to the Company."

Xiao Zhong: "..."

This group of petty women!

They were actually this united!

He had thought that by pretending to be the big brother's wife to slander Colorful Lotus, he would make the new boss of Colorful Lotus dissatisfied with her.

Later, when the real wife of the big brother showed up, he was still thinking that if she could target him like that, there was no reason she wouldn't target Colorful Lotus for "seducing" her husband.

Don't they say three women make a drama?

He wanted to see all three parties end up in a mess and for Colorful Lotus to lose her job.

As it turned out, he was the clown on the stage?

Xiao Zhong immediately threw himself onto the floor, grabbed Meng Ge's calf, and cried, "Boss, I did it for the good of the Company!"

"I trained Lotus for so long, and she—she learned the techniques from me and took them all to the new studio! Why should I, the one who planted the tree, let others enjoy the shade?"

Since she left, he had to dig up the roots of this tree so no one else could take advantage of it!

"Your technique of relying on Live Streamers to flirt with big brothers is already outdated." Meng Ge remained unmoved, "Are you leaving on your own, or should I have security escort you out?"

Xiao Zhong: "..."

This group of feudal-minded old fogies.

He didn't even put the shady stuff out in the open, so why wasn't it allowed?

They didn't even know how to make money when it was right there!

Thinking this with resentment, Xiao Zhong climbed up from the floor and left the office without looking back.

Just wait!

Once he trains a super big Live Streamer and comes back, he'll slap these blind people in the face!

Once he left, Meng Ge picked up a file from his desk.

On it was the information for This Is A Live Streaming Company and Lin Sui.

Looking at the photo of Lin Sui in the file, Meng Ge silently took out his phone, snapped a picture, and sent it to one of his contacts.

Meng Zeming: "Aunt, is this our cousin?"

ˉ

Lin Sui had been selling goods every night for the past few days; although the system told her she could leave it to other Live Streamers, no one else currently had her level of popularity.

She had to rely on herself to build the Company's brand first, and then have other Live Streamers in the Company sell later, so that when people passed by and saw her Company's label, it would be easier for them to make repeat purchases.

In the future, she would also have to set up a department specifically for live-streamed sales; looking at the Live Streamers currently signed, each of them was full of talent and had a beautiful or handsome face, so just having them sell goods was a waste of talent.

Lin Sui was starting to have the air of a boss, already beginning to plan for the future.

The system was very satisfied and decided to tell her a piece of good news.

【Since you have the idea of establishing a Live Streaming sales department, work hard. Once you open a factory in the future, I will provide you with our technical data here.】

In other words, the goods sold previously could be mass-produced in a factory in the future, so there would be no need to wait for the goods to arrive every once in a while.

Lin Sui was a bit puzzled upon hearing this, "Aren't we making money through Live Streaming? Can this even work?"

【It's not like we're selling them offline; wouldn't it be fine to sell them all in the Live Streaming Room? This is also making money through Live Streaming!】

Lin Sui was left speechless.

"The costs would be very high, right?" The prices it set for every item were not cheap, so one could imagine how high the costs were.

The System said calmly: 【Only by being willing to invest can there be a return!】

"Oh~" Lin Sui raised her eyebrows slightly, "So, what kind of return do you want to get from me for your investment of Ten-fold Withdrawal?"

【My friend, you have been asking about this System more and more frequently, both openly and covertly, lately.】

"Isn't that just curiosity?"

Lin Sui rested her hands behind her head and leaned back in her boss chair, "What if, after you achieve your goal, you say something like 'this place is just a novel' or something, and everything is fake? Once you leave, wouldn't all this wealth I've accumulated be nothing but a pipe dream?"

【You must firmly believe that there exist things in the world beyond your cognition; whether it is real or fake, as long as you are enjoying it at this very moment, that is enough.】

【Besides, what could I possibly gain by coming to a fake world? Don't scare yourself~】

【How about this, let's earn 200,000 today as a task to see your strength.】

Lin Sui: "... Are you crazy?"

【Do you feel the sense of reality now?】

Lin Sui: "..."

Too much.

Seeing this number, she nearly died of shock right there.
