Chapter 758: 753. Make Him Shut Up (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Lin Xiong, Zhao Kui, and Feng Guiyu gathered together once again; these three could be said to represent their respective interest chains.

At this moment, Zhao Kui had completely lost his former arrogance; in the past, he dared to call Zhang Ran a "blockhead" to his face, but now he was sitting there feeling uneasy.

"Xiaoyu, is that Big Boss coming over this time for real or not? Does he know something?" Zhao Kui asked, feeling somewhat nervous.

Just an hour ago, they received news that Zhang Ran was coming over in the next two days to inspect the company.

If this had been in the past, they wouldn't have been worried at all; at most, they would have just laid low for a couple of days.

They wouldn't even have truly stopped, as they didn't believe Zhang Ran would personally go down to the grassroots level, and even if he did come, they figured he wouldn't understand the ins and outs of things.

But things are different now; the situation at Maikai Supermarket is right there before their eyes, and now that Zhang Ran is coming to inspect, who would really dare not take it seriously?

Before, Zhao Kui was just running his mouth; if Zhang Ran were truly standing in front of him, he probably wouldn't even be able to speak from nervousness—of course, that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but he would certainly be nervous.

Feng Guiyu said with a calm expression: "Mr. Zhang is indeed coming, but it is just a routine inspection."

At this moment, his own mind was in turmoil, and he even felt a vague sense of regret that he had gotten involved too early.

He did not know what Zhang Ran's purpose was in coming this time, and he had asked his uncle, Feng Hui, but Feng Hui had not said anything either.

This meant that perhaps even Feng Hui did not know Zhang Ran's intentions, and that was terrifying, because Feng Hui was his greatest reliance.

Everything Feng Hui had could be said to stem from Zhang Ran; if even Zhang Ran's trust was lost, then Feng Hui would lose everything, and the same would be true for him, Feng Guiyu.

But if Feng Hui did know something and just hadn't told him, Feng Guiyu, then the significance for him personally was the same.

However, no matter what Feng Guiyu was thinking, at this very moment, he could only appear composed; otherwise, this temporary team would fall into chaos from within.

"That's good, that's good."

It was hard to tell if they were just comforting themselves, but both Lin Xiong and Zhao Kui breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, I heard there's someone causing trouble at the factory recently?" Feng Guiyu said.

Zhao Kui nodded with an ugly expression and said: "Yeah, a guy named Zhao Feng; he's like a stubborn plaster, completely impervious to reason."

Zhao Feng had not been idle during this period; he had truly made up his mind, so he did not hesitate in the slightest in his actions.

First, he investigated some situations, and then he began to report the issues level by level.

At first, they were barely able to appease him by saying that an investigation was needed, but as time went on, it was clear that Zhao Feng had sensed the perfunctory attitude of some of them.

So he started slamming tables at people and even reported the issues to higher-ups, claiming that if those above didn't resolve this problem and conduct a thorough investigation, he would expose all of these things directly.

Zhao Kui had no way to deal with a person like this.

Fire him?

He didn't have that authority.

He didn't have the power over personnel, and firing an old-timer like Zhao Feng wasn't a simple matter.

Furthermore, many people subconsciously never thought about firing Zhao Feng; it wasn't for any other reason than the fact that ever since the era of Tian Yaohui, Zhao Feng had been like a nail that had been specifically instructed never to be removed.

Although the owner had changed, everyone subconsciously followed this unspoken rule.

Also, they were afraid that if they truly angered Zhao Feng, he would go straight to Zhang Ran to file a complaint.

So, most of the time, they were still trying to appease Zhao Feng; if that didn't work, they thought about pulling Zhao Feng into their circle, though given Zhao Feng's temper, it would be very difficult to get him to agree.

"Make sure you don't let him cause any trouble at this time. You have to know, if Mr. Zhang finds out, he absolutely will not let it go.

His methods are far more ruthless than Tian Yaohui's. Just look at this past period; how many people who have played tricks within companies under Mr. Zhang's name have had a good ending?" Feng Guiyu's expression was also gloomy.

He had just graduated with his doctorate and had an uncle who was a company CEO; he had a bright future ahead of him, and he didn't want to crash and burn here.

Lin Xiong took a deep breath and said: "Don't worry, no matter what, we won't let him cause trouble at this time. At worst, we'll just give him more money to appease him.

As long as we get through this period, it will be fine. I believe Mr. Zhang won't stay for long; based on previous situations, I estimate it will only be ten days or half a month.

As long as no problems arise during these ten days or half a month, then everything will be fine."

"And what if he doesn't accept the appeasement?" Feng Guiyu asked in a low voice.

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Zhao Kui's eyes: "If he dares to run his mouth, then we'll make sure he can't open it."

This was the future of their careers and their wealth; they absolutely would not allow Zhao Feng to mess things up.

Before Feng Guiyu could say anything, Lin Xiong hurriedly said: "Old Zhao, don't you go doing anything reckless; this is not the same thing.

And don't you drag me into such matters. I'll say it clearly here: I don't care about other things, and I've already participated in them.

But for this kind of thing, I will absolutely not get involved."

Lin Xiong heard the implication in Zhao Kui's words; he truly didn't dare to participate in such matters. Once he was involved, if it were ever investigated, it wouldn't just be a matter of spending two years in prison.

Zhao Kui looked at Lin Xiong with cold, sharp eyes, but seeing Feng Guiyu silently saying nothing, he suddenly said: "Don't worry, I won't do anything like that.

But the matter actually isn't difficult. He isn't a lone wolf; if we threaten him a little and invite his wife and son over to be our guests for a while, I believe he will make a choice.

At worst, we can compensate them a bit at the end; I believe one million will be enough."

Feng Guiyu looked at Zhao Kui's eyes and knew that he needed to state his position now; things where you only take the benefits only exist in fairy tales.

If he wanted to obtain benefits, he needed to pay something in return.

"I'll put up this one million," Feng Guiyu said.

"Fine, then that's how we'll do it. I'll handle the matter," Zhao Kui said directly.

With this, Feng Guiyu had completely joined their side, and there was no longer any possibility of regret.

Lin Xiong was also conflicted in his heart, but he knew this was the best way.

"I'll just state one point: I don't care about the rest, but there absolutely cannot be any loss of life." This was Lin Xiong's final bottom line.

Zhao Kui said: "Don't worry, we all have families to support; we aren't lone wolves. Unless it's an absolute last resort, no one would do such a thing."
