Rebirth of the Evil Life

William Rhodes left in disgrace. In Lin Feng's study, Lin Feng looked at Ai Li and others with a strange expression.

"Natalie, what's going on with this contract? Why did it become 5 billion? I was talking about 500 million!" Lin Feng asked with a strange look on his face. "With this 500 million, maybe I can blackmail Rhodes. This 5 billion US dollars, then unless he is crazy, he will definitely not agree to a liquidated damages of US$5 billion!”

Girls, you look at me, I look at you, they all look sideways.

"Boss, are you really planning to sell Ellie for 500 million?" Natalie asked in shock.

Ai Li stared at Lin Feng intently. In her eyes, Lin Feng has always been the kind of person who regards money as dirt, and he is extremely protective of his shortcomings. He would never betray his own people for money. Now, Lin Feng is preparing to sell himself for 500 million, which makes Ellie a little bit intolerable.

Lin Feng laughed.

"It's not impossible. Sell it for 500 million US dollars, and then Ellie, you and I will split it 50/50, and you sign an agreement with the other party, lower the liquidated damages, and I'll redeem it for you. That's fine." Lin Feng laughed and said.

All the girls had dark faces.

"Boss, no matter how stupid Rhodes is, he can't be this stupid. If he signs the contract, he won't have to sign a higher ransom!" Natalie rolled her eyes. Lin Feng must have thought that Rhodes was too idiotic. No matter what he says, he is still the president of Citibank. His IQ is not low, and his EQ is not low either.

"Haha, is this difficult? Ellie can ask for a lower ransom, or even sign a contract with Citibank for zero ransom. If Rhodes doesn't want to do it, then just don't sign the contract. Anyway, there is 500 million US dollars in ransom dividends, which is enough for Ellie. Li made a fortune! Right, Ellie!" Lin Feng chuckled.

The girls just rolled their eyes. This move is really vicious. If so, Rhodes will be angry to death. No, not mad. I'm afraid he will be fired directly by Citibank's board of directors.

"Lin, your trick is indeed cruel, and I can also profit from it, making money that I may not be able to make in this life. But I don't like your attitude. If to you, I am Such a dispensable person, Mr. Lin, you should apply to Ron for someone else." After saying that, Ellie turned and walked away.

Lin Feng was dumbfounded. What's going on with this...?

"Boss, you have hurt Ellie's heart. You sold her for 500 million. This has hurt Ellie's self-esteem." Natalie quickly chased after her.

Lin Feng frowned.

"Am I really wrong? I was just joking." Lin Feng said quietly.

"Boss, don't you understand that the more proud a woman is, the more fragile her self-esteem is. I think you'd better go and apologize like Ellie." Lin Chiling also stood by Ellie this time. To be honest, Lin Feng's face-to-face talk about selling his family this time was a bit hurtful to people's self-esteem. Although everyone has a price. But saying it to people like this is really shocking. To be honest, if Lin Feng sold himself like this, Lin Chiling would also be sad.

"Is it really wrong?" Lin Feng was confused. It was really a joke, a joke to tease Rhodes.

"Boss, you are really wrong. Ellie is such a proud person. And the one with a high degree has made a name for herself in the legal profession. She came to be your legal adviser. As a result, it is only the third day and you are going to It's sold. From a business point of view, from a conspiracy point of view, you are wrong. Now, I really wonder how you cheated Avril. They are so indulging in you." Melissa rolled her eyes and scolded Lin Feng.

Although Melissa and the others are Lin Feng's secretaries, and the working relationship between them is that of guest and host, there is no distinction between superior and inferior in their ordinary words. Everyone communicates equally.

And this has always been allowed and even condoned by Lin Feng. Lin Feng has been fine recently, so he is reading again. What book are you reading? Look at Tang History. In Lin Feng's view, China had its prosperous Han and Tang Dynasties, but in terms of true openness and enlightenment, the Tang Dynasty prevailed. In the Tang Dynasty, there were two wise kings. One is Tang Taizong Li Shimin who founded the Tang Dynasty, and the other is Tang Ming Emperor Li Longji.

However, Lin Feng prefers Li Shimin to Li Longji. Therefore, Lin Feng has been studying Li Shimin recently. As far as Lin Feng is concerned, Li Shimin can definitely be called the emperor of the ages, much better than Kangxi. Because although Kangxi made the Qing Dynasty prosperous, he also planted the seeds of the Qing Dynasty's ultimate decay - seclusion.

But Li Shimin, after creating the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty, opened up shipping, opened borders, opened up the Silk Road, and allowed countries to come to Korea. If it were not for the corruption and incompetence of the descendants of the Tang Dynasty later, then the Tang Dynasty might have embarked on the path of the British Empire. Among them, Li Shimin also made mistakes, and it was he who led to the future decline of the Tang Dynasty.

Why do you say this? Because when Li Shimin reached his old age, he also began to become dull. This person is the easiest to flatter. Most people will instinctively flatter their superiors. This is human nature. Just like the colleagues around you, one is tall, rich and handsome, and the other is short and poor. Both of them are your friends. If they ask you to do something at the same time, then you will instinctively favor the tall, rich and handsome person.

Since the death of Wei Zheng, Li Shimin has no one around him who dares to advise him. He gradually became headstrong and arbitrary, even if it was obviously wrong, he would still do whatever he wanted. Lin Feng is trying his best to avoid this. Avoid becoming an older version of Li Shimin, being arbitrary and self-willed. Therefore, I indulged the secretaries around me and let them speak their minds. Say whatever you think.

Of course, these blunt words are, to be honest, harsh and uncomfortable. Lin Feng couldn't stand it at first, but he got used to it gradually. People must have a tolerant heart, so that they can discover their own shortcomings, change themselves, and be stronger than others.

"Okay, I'll apologize!" Lin Feng humbly accepted the criticism, "But before that, you sent me a letter to Citibank asking them why they allowed William Rhodes to provoke us and openly insult our company. President!"

Lin Chiling nodded. This is to strike first to gain the upper hand. No matter what, hit him with the stick first and prevent Rhodes from reacting. Otherwise, if he makes the first move, he will be the one who responds, and then he will be tired of dealing with it. Of course, Lin Chiling also knew that Lin Feng was trying to establish prestige for Kazama Erisa. Before this, there was dissatisfaction within the Second World company over Erika Kazama's appointment as the company's president. Lin Feng reorganized some people in the company and took a stake in Second World's Barron Hilton to establish his authority and strengthen the reputation of the company. Hye-Lisa Ma cleared the road to becoming president. Now, the outside world is disdainful of Erika Kazama, and Lin Feng is also using William Rhodes to establish his power.

While Lin Chiling was busy sending letters to Citibank, Lin Feng found Natalie and Ally on the roof of the hotel.

"Well, Natalie, go and help Zhiling. She is preparing a letter. As for the English wording, go and help her think about it," Lin Feng ordered.

Natalie nodded, gave Lin Feng a cautious look, and left.

"Well, Ellie, what happened today..." Lin Feng struggled for a while and decided to just apologize. It is not embarrassing for a man to apologize to a woman. But Lin Feng didn't expect that when he wanted to apologize, he was interrupted.

"Mr. Lin, you don't need to apologize to me. This is just a normal business, isn't it? You are a businessman and I am your employee. You don't need to explain anything to me." Ellie turned around He stood up, his eyes were reddish, and he looked at Lin Feng, regaining his usual coldness and wisdom, but his aura seemed to be colder.

"Well, Ellie, to be honest, I was really joking just now. I said the wrong thing. I now formally apologize to you!" Lin Feng knew something was wrong at a glance. This woman likes to be duplicitous when talking. I don’t care, I’m not angry anymore, in fact I’m very angry inside. Therefore, Lin Feng immediately apologized very bachelorly.

"Mr. Lin, I told you, you are the boss, you don't need to apologize to me. It's nothing, I'll go down first." Ai Li bowed slightly to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng frowned. Obviously, she was very angry.

"Um, Aili, I really..." Lin Feng wanted to explain, but Aili didn't explain to Lin Feng at all and walked away quickly.

Soon, Lin Feng received a call from Ron.

"Lin, what's going on? Ellie just told me that after she fulfills this year's contract, she will let me change someone next year. What happened between you two?" Ron frowned and asked, "I heard the voice, you seem to It offended Ellie terribly.”

Lin Feng was speechless and told the whole story.

"Lin, what do you want me to say! Hey, hey!" Ron sighed repeatedly on the other end of the phone, "I forgot to tell you about Ellie. She grew up in a single-parent family, and it was her mother who pulled her up. When she grew up, her experience was the same as that of James LeBron from the Rockets. She didn’t know who her father was. But what was even worse than James was that her mother was originally a rich girl from a famous family, but she was raped. Her father deceived her, and after that, because she was addicted to drugs and had a lot of gambling debts, he sold her to a human trafficker group. I won't go into the details of what happened next. In short, it was very miserable. . I think you can guess that her father is really bad. Therefore, you said selling her for 500 million probably reminds her of what happened to her mother."

After hearing this, Lin Feng was speechless. How do you say this? I really didn’t know there was such an inside story. Now, it’s really a matter of not picking up which pot!

"Then what should I do now?" Lin Feng asked helplessly.

"Hey, forget it, let's leave it like this for now. After a while, Ellie will naturally adjust her mood. But don't worry, she is a very professional lawyer. So, there will never be any slack at work. This "Don't worry!" Ron said proudly.

Lin Feng nodded. I was thinking about how to ease the conflict with Ellie. This time, it was my fault after all. What a joke!
