C37 Lin Fei's Methods
Although Lin Fei's tone wasn't heavy, it was cold and emotionless. Gu Chulai trembled in fear.
The two security guards were watching the whole scene with rapt attention. They understood Lin Fei's identity right away. They were so scared that they shook all over.
After all, it wasn't easy for them to get this job. Yet they wanted to throw out their boss just now. Wasn't this asking for death?
It seemed like they wouldn't be able to keep this job anymore!
"The two of you, hurry up and go back to your work. Why are you still standing here? Don't tell me you want to lose your job too?"
Just when the two security guards felt at a loss, Lin Fei's words snapped them back.
"Yes, boss!"
They nodded their heads like chicken pecking and thanked Lin Fei. They quickly ran back to their jobs.
At this time, Gu Chulai also recovered from his panic. While kneeling, he walked a few steps forward. He used both his hands and feet to crawl in front of Lin Fei. He hugged Lin Fei's thigh and begged with a crying face. "Boss, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Please, don't fire me!
"I have an eighty year old mother and two underage children. My wife and the whole family is counting on my salary to live!
"I beg you, Boss. Please don't fire me!"
Seeing that Lin Fei remained unmoved, Gu Chulai started crying.
That miserable look, there was no longer the slightest bit of arrogance from before.
"Eh, Director Gu, what are you doing?"
At that moment, Wang Jie rushed in from outside. Upon seeing Gu Chulai kneeling on the ground and begging Lin Fei, his curiosity was piqued.
Before Wang Jie started working in Dahe Pharmaceutical Co., he was a security guard under Gu Chulai. Therefore, he was very familiar with him and his personality.
This guy had been in charge of the entire Yinhui Building for a long time now. He had always conducted himself as someone high and mighty. Hence, Wang Jie really couldn't understand what was going on today.
However, Gu Chulai didn't know that Wang Jie was Lin Fei's friend. He was here to seek forgiveness from Lin Fei, so he didn't pay any attention to him.
"Brother Fei, what's going on?"
Seeing that Gu Chulai didn't pay him any heed, Wang Jie turned to Lin Fei.
"Humph, it's just a disobedient dog. Don't bother with him!"
Lin Fei snorted.
However, his words shocked Wang Jie senseless. He had never seen anyone talk to Director Gu like that
What was happening here?
Lin Fei dared to talk to Gu Chulai like that. He knew Lin Fei had won a lottery, but still, he shouldn't be so arrogant.
He knew Gu Chulai's character. In the past, if Lin Fei dared to speak to him like that, he would have asked the security guards to teach him a lesson. Yet, Gu Chulai didn't make a peep despite being disparaged like that. He really couldn't figure out the change of events.
"Wang Jie, I beg you. Tell the boss not to fire me. We used to be be colleagues, remember?"
Wang Jie was confused when Gu Chulai turned to him.
Gu Chulai did not expect Wang Jie to be good friends with Lin Fei. He felt that he had found a new hope to keep his job.
"Boss? You're calling Brother Fei boss? What's going on?"
Wang Jie looked at Gu Chulai, who was kneeling on the ground and trying to please him. He turned around and shot Lin Fei a puzzled look.
Lin Fei patted Wang Jie's shoulder and said, "Brother, I told you I would bring you to make a fortune. This Yinhui Building is mine now!
"Don't ask unnecessary questions. From now on, you are the administrator of the Yinhui Building. The seat of director of this building management office is yours!"
"Ah, Brother Fei. Hehe, let's not joke around. It's not funny at all. I know you won a lottery, but this building is worth at least one billion yuan. It can't be all yours, right?"
Wang Jie chuckled. He didn't believe Lin Fei's words at all.
"See for yourself!"
Lin Fei didn't waste any words. There were some things that he didn't need to explain himself. He passed the property ownership certificate to Wang Jie.
Wang Jie took it and looked at Gu Chulai nodding at him. He had no choice but to believe it now.
"Hahahaha, hahahaha, Brother Fei, damn it! Awesome! Absolutely awesome!"
Wang Jie instantly burst into laughter.
Fortunately, it was time for work, so not many people passed by the hall on the first floor. Otherwise, he would have been treated as a lunatic.
Still, Wang Jie's heart was riddled with doubts. However, when he recalled Lin Fei telling him not to ask, he suppressed the doubts in his heart.
Then, he looked at Lin Fei and asked, "Brother Fei, where should we start now?"
Wang Jie was a young man who had remained under others since he started working. Now that he knew that everything was real, he suddenly felt like he was the master.
"Haha, there's no rush. Take a look at this first and you will know where we should start!"
Lin Fei laughed and handed the detailed list to Wang Jie.
Wang Jie read it through. In less than five seconds, he saw the details of Dahe Pharmaceutical. Those guys owed rent for half a year. He and Lin Fei looked at each other and grinned at the same time.
Obviously, the two of them had thought of the same thing.
"Do you understand now?"
Lin Fei asked with a smile.
"Brother Fei, of course I understand. If I didn't, could I be your brother?"
Wang Jie also smiled sinisterly. He clearly understood what Lin Fei was thinking.
"If you understand, why aren't we leaving?"
Lin Fei put one hand on Wang Jie's shoulder. The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked towards the elevator. Needless to say, they were going to find the boss of Dahe Pharmaceutical, Chen Biao, to collect rent.
As for Gu Chulai, he was completely ignored.
"Wang Jie—no, Director Wang, I beg you. Please put in a word to Boss!
"Since we used to be colleagues, please ask Boss forgive me. This job is really important to me."
When Gu Chulai saw that the two of them were about to leave, he immediately cried and pleaded Wang Jie. He hoped that he could help him on his behalf.
Wang Jie was a kind and soft-hearted person. Although he did not know what had happened between Gu Chulai and Lin Fei, after being begged by Gu Chulai again and again, his heart immediately softened.
After a moment of hesitation, he looked at Lin Fei and said, "Brother Fei, why don't you give him another chance?"
"No. A blind dog like him must not be left alive."
Lin Fei remained firm in his stance.
Gu Chulai was scared to tears when he heard Lin Fei's words. He started crying like a child.
He was a man in his forties, yet he was weeping so hard that he looked quite pitiful.
Wang Jie walked a few steps, but he could not take it anymore. He said to Lin Fei again, "Brother Fei, you know I don't know how to manage things, but I am a kind person. I can vouch for him. Give him another chance."
Wang Jie was really pleading for Gu Chulai. He could not bear to see a grown man cry so miserably.
Lin Fei was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he pretended to be deep in thought. However, in his heart, he was laughing at Wang Jie's kindness.
In fact, from the beginning until the end, he had never intended to fire Gu Chulai. Although Gu Chulai was arrogant and despotic, he had been a director for a long time. He knew this building like the back of his hand. How could Lin Fei bear to fire such a useful person?
However, he had to temper his personality. Otherwise, he would not be able to order him around in the future.
Now that Lin Fei had given his brother Wang Jie the authority to manage this building, he definitely needed someone to help him. After all, he really did not know anything about management.
And no one was more suitable to assist him than Gu Chulai.
However, if he asked Gu Chulai to help Wang Jie, removed him as the director, and demoted him to the vice director, Gu Chulai would not be willing to accept it. He would even hate and push Wang Jie aside in the future.
But now, when Lin Fei was determined to fire him, Wang Jie had pleaded for him twice. If Wang Jie helped him keep his job, he would definitely be grateful to Wang Jie. If he was asked to assist Wang Jie, he would definitely be willing to do so.
This was Lin Fei's method. When using people, one had to rely on all kinds of schemes and strategies. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to achieve a good result.
Gu Chulai stared at Lin Fei nervously. It was as if he was waiting for an emperor's verdict.
He did not expect to retain his director position. As long as Lin Fei could show mercy and let him stay, he would be satisfied.
Lin Fei stared at him for five to six seconds. He seemed to have thought it through in his mind before he looked at Gu Chulai and said slowly, "Since Wang Jie is vouching for you, I can let you stay."
"Really? Thank you, boss, and Director Wang—"
Gu Chulai heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. He then thanked Lin Fei and Wang Jie.
However, Lin Fei waved his hand and interrupted him. "From now on, you have to follow Director Wang's orders and assist him in managing the entire building.
"If you do well, I can consider giving you the title of deputy director in the future. Not only will your salary not decrease, but it will also be higher than before!
"But if you don't listen to Director Wang's instructions and act arrogant, you better leave the job yourself. You should know very well that Mo City does not lack talents!"
"Yes, boss. Don't worry. From now on, I'll do my best to support Chief Wang. If I do anything to disappoint Director Wang, I'll resign myself!"
Gu Chulai knelt on the ground and said in a submissive manner. He felt as if he had survived a disaster.
"Okay. You can go back to the office first."
Lin Fei waved his hand at Gu Chulai. He then turned around and walked towards the elevator with Wang Jie.
