Chapter 589: Chapter 589: Finding the Source

With so many people working together, naturally, everyone would choose the better product, so who would care about a nearly obsolete live stream?

Therefore, it was quickly abandoned, which led to Luya’s rapid decline for a while. Now that I have found the source, knowing it’s because Zhang Tao wasn’t steadfast, such things would never happen with me here. I’m already quite skilled at handling these matters.

No one can interfere with what’s really on my mind, who needs to be dealt with. Even if they play on my emotions, no one can do that successfully with me. Sometimes Zhang Tao is just a bit naive, a bit too kind, but other than that, he’s impeccable. He’s willing to listen to me on these matters, and that’s enough.

I can lead Zhang Tao step by step toward the pinnacle of his career, teach him other things later, and gradually push him up. This is what I aim to achieve. As for this person, they can roll as far away as possible and stop plaguing my industry.

Now that they’ve offered to leave, they’re just trying to get a bigger severance, Well, how could I refuse? I watched in amusement as he now hesitated to continue speaking, just one step away from getting rid of him.

Shi Jia, seeing Zhang Tao wavering, thought about speaking up to help, considering how Mr. Lin had looked after them. If Mr. Lin left, who would they go to with their questions if not Zhang Tao?

In truth, they were a bit reluctant to disturb the big boss, fearing a negative impression. Lin Kai had indeed suggested a few times that they could go out on their own with him and asked if they were willing. Not wanting to offend, they had no choice but to say yes and even flattered him a bit.

But they hadn’t expected Lin Kai to take it seriously, and when it came out in the open, it was rather embarrassing. Now, they just had to see if they could persuade him to stay; if not, they’d think of something else.

"Mr. Lin, you’ve already put so much into this project. Rushing to leave now isn’t wise. Why not stay a bit longer? After all, this venture is bound to make a lot of money. You surely can’t bear to see the fruits of your labor go to waste. I believe you definitely want to see it succeed.

What the boss said earlier wasn’t wrong either. If we can further refine the software, certainly more people will choose to download it. This will benefit us as well. Don’t overthink it."

I thought of first persuading Lin Kai, and if he agreed to stay, I would put in a good word for him. Sure enough, my words seemed to provide Lin Kai with a way out.

Lin Kai was obviously not willing to leave in such a crestfallen manner, wanting to secure what he deserved before it was too late. He was waiting for someone to give him an out—a role he expected Zhang Tao to fill, given his previous tolerance. Now that Zhang Tao was showing such discontent, surely he’d try to coax Lin Kai?

After a long silence, Shi Jia was the only one who spoke.

Unhappy inside but given a way to save face, Lin Kai’s expression relaxed, almost as if he would agree to continue working selflessly as soon as Zhang Tao said something. Shi Jia was pleased with this reaction and, seeing it as a sign of agreement, turned to Zhang Tao to prevent him from speaking harshly.

"Mr. Zhang, I’m sure Mr. Lin didn’t mean it. Why not forgive him? Everyone has impulsive moments, especially when young and provoked. I believe that once back at work, Mr. Lin won’t be like this. He’ll work even more diligently—you’ve seen how dedicated he is at completing tasks.

He’s always serious, always staying late. Sometimes, it’s almost heart-wrenching. He probably spoke out just because he was frustrated with his plan being rejected. Mr. Zhang, please give Mr. Lin another chance," Shi Jia personally interceded.

The others who had assisted with the software felt compelled to speak up as well. Lin Kai’s help had been significant, and with someone taking the lead, they followed suit, not wanting to be resented by anyone. So they too expressed their sentiments.

"Mr. Zhang, you know what Mr. Lin is like on a normal day—just a bit impulsive. He definitely didn’t mean what he said earlier; it was just blurted out in a moment of frustration. If we let go of Mr. Lin, our project would only be delayed further, won’t it?"

"As the previous boss mentioned, we still need to add aesthetic features. We’re not well-versed in that area, which is why we initially disagreed. If we’re to include that later, it’ll be challenging for us to catch up. We were just too anxious to see the profits, which is our fault.

We could only see the immediate benefits and failed to look ahead. We will definitely make up for this knowledge gap and then grow and improve the software, benefiting all of us. Let’s not fight among ourselves. Today should be a happy day; why should we make things awkward for everyone over this matter?"

Although initially panicked, Lin Kai now felt proud, surrounded by people speaking up for him. He cast a look at Zhang Tao as if to say, "See, my standing here is quite high. You can’t just easily get rid of me—it’s nearly impossible.

I occupy an important part here, and many people come to me when they don’t understand something." Seeing his ignorant display, Shen Dong wanted to laugh out loud. How well could such a person fare outside? He certainly didn’t believe it.

I might not have many skills, but there is one thing I’m particularly good at—judging people’s potential. I can tell at a glance whether someone has a future or not.
