Chapter 38 - 38 38 Professionals Additional Update for Alliance Leader Wu Shang Zhonglin

38: Chapter 38 Professionals (Additional Update for Alliance Leader Wu Shang Zhonglin) 38: Chapter 38 Professionals (Additional Update for Alliance Leader Wu Shang Zhonglin) Mo Fei did not take the pen, and directly started reading the document.

This agreement clearly wasn’t the one he had proposed last night, but it also wasn’t the one that Wang Ziheng had shown him before.

The overall content of the agreement remained unchanged, as, due to broadcaster Mo Fei’s violation of company policies, the company would take back Mo Fei’s game account and terminate the related contract.

There was no mention of compensation in the agreement, but a new clause for severance was added—as an acknowledgement of Mo Fei’s work achievements, a severance fee of one million was offered.

One million, huh?

How generous indeed.

He snorted coldly, “This is different from what we discussed yesterday.”

The manager looked at him smugly and said, “Come on Mo Fei, you’re not stupid.

You can’t really think that your little show yesterday would change everything, right?

I admit, you are tough, and your tactics did give me quite a scare back then.

But times have changed, young man.

We now live in a society ruled by law, not an age where you can solve problems just by showing courage and fiercifacesness.

We can let go of yesterday’s incident and even add a million to your severance fee, but that’s as far as goodwill extends.

You now have two choices, sign the agreement or we’ll proceed with legal action.

Of course, you can choose to keep fighting, but let me tell you, it won’t end well for you…”

The manager wanted to continue to show off, but he suddenly fell silent when the middle-aged man raised his hand.

“First, let me introduce myself.

Situ Cheng, legal counsel for Starshine Group.” The man extended his hand towards Mo Fei.

Mo Fei did not shake hands with the man, “Where’s Wang Ziheng?”

Situ Cheng did not mind and replied, “After yesterday’s incident, his father is disappointed in him.

He thinks that Wang Ziheng completely lacks the courage and boldness a businessman should have, his actions rash and without considering the consequences.

Wang Ziheng has already been dismissed from his position by his father.

Now, I’m in charge of this matter, and this is the best offer I can make.”

Mo Fei was somewhat surprised, “The president knows about this?”

“Of course, what else?

You think this is some drama about a rich second-generation bullying employees in his own company?

Heh, you’ve read too many novels.

The president made the decision himself.”

Mo Fei found it hard to believe, “The president personally wants my game account?”

“Not your account, all the broadcasters’ accounts.”

“Allow me to enlighten you, Mr.

Mo Fei.

The essence of capital lies in its relentless pursuit of profit, and in pursuing profit, there’s always the risk involved.

This risk might be financial loss or even a threat to personal safety.

Every year the news breaks stories about construction workers killing real estate bosses in rage over unpaid wages.

But the wage debts remain, why?

The answer is simple because the capital is gambling, betting that the workers won’t dare to take such actions, as after all, those willing to risk their lives are in the minority.

And capital usually wins these bets.

World of Sky is the hottest game on the market right now, with immeasurable value, and no matter what, the boss would not give up control of the game accounts.

I’ve reviewed Mr.

Mo Fei’s means, and they’ve indeed been quite the eye-opener.

Such passionate individuals are rare in this age, but it’s all meaningless; business is business.

If it cannot generate substantial profit, then what’s the point of a contract?

I’ve carefully examined the contract that Mr.

Mo signed initially, along with the company’s regulations.

Demanding compensation of twenty-seven million five hundred thousand is quite laughable, and it’s unlikely to be legally viable, but Mr.

Mo did indeed break some of the company’s rules.

According to the contract’s terms, we are entitled to terminate Mr.

Mo and take back all the financial benefits he received during his streaming periods, including his game account.

We will not lose if this goes to court.

Mr.

Mo Fei should not think he can negotiate with us by resorting to threats of violence; that is simply not possible.

Even if the president would spend money to hire a team of lawyers like me, he would not yield to you because it would send a bad message, making others believe they truly hold an equal stance with capital, that they could forcefully carve out a portion from it.

No, no, that’s impossible.

Capital has its rules of the game; you either abide by them or become its enemy.”

“Actually, there could’ve been a better resolution; we could have provided Mr.

Mo with a hefty compensation in private, while officially taking back the account for a million.

This would ensure no bad signals are sent out.”

“But after yesterday, that possibility has been strangled, thanks to Wang Ziheng’s mistake, and he’s already paid the price for his impulsiveness.

Now it’s your turn, Mr.

Mo Fei.”

“If you feel outraged, Mr.

Mo Fei, that is understandable.

As the head of the legal team, right here in front of you, I can stand firm in my responsibility for this matter.

If you really want to fight, come after me, I can even offer you a tool.”

The man said, taking out an exquisite little knife from his pocket, shiny-bladed and with an ornate handle, “Believe me, this thing is much more useful than a pen.”

He pushed the knife in front of Mo Fei, then picked up the pen, “Or perhaps Mr.

Mo Fei doesn’t plan to do that, and accepts our proposal, accepts this one million.”

He placed the pen on the other side of the contract.

Then he folded his arms and looked at Mo Fei, his face neither smug nor fearful but just watching him.

Mo Fei looked at the knife and the pen on the table, then at the man’s composed expression, thinking to himself, you’re really being quite straightforward.

Should I praise you for your integrity or curse you for your shamelessness?

He picked up the knife, and the lawyer’s face changed slightly, but he did not move.

The nearby security guards wanted to act, but the lawyer gestured for them to stop.

“I’m very good at reading people, and Mr.

Mo is definitely not someone who acts on impulse.

If I’m wrong, I’m ready to pay the price for my mistake.”

(Kill him!

What are you waiting for?) That voice surfaced again.

Mo Fei seemed to see those crimson eyes in the reflection of the blade as the air around suddenly turned hot and suffocating.

(Do it, kill him!

One slice and it’s done, those useless security guards can’t stop us!)

Mo Fei felt a wave of dizziness before him, and he immediately closed his eyes, fighting hard against the thought trying to take over his mind.

(Kill him!

Kill!

Why aren’t you killing?

Waste, trash, if you don’t dare, let me do it…)

“Shut up!” Mo Fei said through gritted teeth, and Situ Cheng was momentarily taken aback, glancing at the manager and thinking that you might be right, this man’s mental state seems somewhat abnormal.
