Chapter 350: Chapter 349: These Two Actually Have This Kind of Relationship?

Meanwhile, at Douhu Entertainment.

Chen Jiang sat in the CEO’s office, speechlessly watching the replay of Dou Zhen’s stream.

’And people were saying Dou Zhen was just imitating him?’

Chen Jiang knew perfectly well that he would never make such affected, artificial movements, say such strange things, and certainly wouldn’t mold his image into that of a white lotus.

’That’s right, a white lotus.’

After watching Dou Zhen’s stream, those three words popped into his mind and wouldn’t leave.

Rubbing the goosebumps on his arms, Chen Jiang turned off the tablet and looked at Lin Feng.

"How does Mr. Lin plan to handle this matter?"

He was a contracted streamer for Douhu, and Lin Feng was Douhu’s boss. Any problems related to his work should be handled by Douhu Entertainment—which meant Lin Feng.

Chen Jiang was at least self-aware enough to know that.

Lin Feng was pleased to see Chen Jiang so calm and clear-headed.

’This is the worst time to be impulsive.’

"Honestly, there’s nothing Douhu can do about this publicly."

Lin Feng said in a low voice.

Just as Dou Zhen’s fans said, Douhu couldn’t produce any concrete evidence to prove the imitation.

Besides, imitation alone isn’t illegal.

Even if Dou Zhen admitted to imitating him, it wouldn’t be an issue. Copying how someone speaks and acts, while strange, doesn’t really mean anything from a legal standpoint.

However, this move from Little Broken Station was basically a public declaration of war against Douhu Entertainment.

Douhu Entertainment had its streamers and influencers, like Chen Jiang, so Little Broken Station was also cultivating its own streamers and influencers—its own version of Chen Jiang—to draw an audience.

To be honest, it was a disgusting tactic, but Bao An clearly didn’t mind. The man was happily raking in cash.

After all, he wasn’t the one getting flamed in the stream chat, so it was no skin off his back.

Lin Feng rubbed the bridge of his nose. Even if he couldn’t do anything publicly, he still had to give Chen Jiang some kind of resolution. After all, Chen Jiang was a Douhu streamer, and being so deliberately imitated must have left a bad taste in his mouth.

Seeing Lin Feng’s difficult position, Chen Jiang sighed.

No one had expected Bao An to pull such a dirty move, catching them completely off guard.

...

Bao An’s move quickly became notorious in the industry.

But aside from Douhu Entertainment, no other person or company cared.

After all, all’s fair in war—and in the business world, such tactics were normal and nothing to be surprised about.

Chen Jiang lowered his gaze to the tablet on the desk. He picked it up and casually gave it a little shake.

"Mr. Lin, can I save this video?"

’I’ll take it back and study it. Know your enemy, know yourself, and you will win every battle.’

’I’ll see for myself what strengths this Dou Zhen has. I’ll learn from the enemy to defeat the enemy, and I’ll win back every single one of my fans.’

Videos of Dou Zhen’s streams were everywhere; it wasn’t a secret.

So Lin Feng waved his hand, signaling that Chen Jiang could just take the tablet. It wasn’t important.

After Chen Jiang left, Lin Feng frowned and called Huizi in.

’If I can’t do anything about that Dou Zhen publicly, I’ll handle it behind the scenes.’

’I will make the industry understand that my company and my people aren’t so easy to copy.’

"What’s the status?"

Lin Feng asked lightly as he looked at Huizi.

"Our man has gained Bao An’s trust."

Huizi placed the USB drive in her hand in front of Lin Feng and said in a low voice, "This is the recording he sent back."

Lin Feng picked up the USB drive, inserted it into his computer with great interest, located the removable drive, and opened it.

Soon, the voices of Bao An and his secretary came from the speakers.

When she heard what was on it, Huizi’s face turned beet red.

She hadn’t listened to the contents before and had no idea that the recording their agent sent back would be... something not suitable for children.

Huizi blinked, wanting to excuse herself from Lin Feng’s office.

But then, she heard two people talking—a man and a woman. Their voices weren’t loud, but they were very clear.

’And those two voices... they sound so familiar?’

Sensing her thoughts, Lin Feng spoke up:

"Bao An and his secretary."

Huizi’s eyes widened. ’Those two... have that kind of relationship?’

She knew about many unspoken rules of the workplace and had heard of many bosses having such relationships with their secretaries, but this was the first time she had encountered it so up close.

Steeling herself, she continued to listen.

Soon, the two people in the recording got to the important part.

"President, our man has been following your orders. He’s been lying low this past month and hasn’t made any rash moves. No one at Douhu Entertainment suspects his identity now."

The secretary’s voice was still coquettish, making everything she said sound like she was pouting playfully.

After she finished, Bao An didn’t answer immediately. The recording seemed to pause for a few seconds before his voice was heard:

"Good. Tell him he can proceed with the next phase of the plan. Find a way to get close to Lin Feng, gain his trust, and obtain some useful information."

"Especially about that Chen Jiang. Find a way to get all of his information. Don’t miss a single thing."

After he said this, the secretary could be heard giving a sweet little laugh.

Immediately after, the sounds from their end became indescribable again.

The recording ended there.

Lin Feng unplugged the USB drive, deleted the playback history from the computer, and then casually fiddled with the drive in his hand, his thoughts unreadable.

The corner of his mouth curled up. ’I just wanted to find out Bao An’s plan, but I got an unexpected bonus.’

[Ding! The Host must make a choice within ten seconds and act on it within one hour.]

[One: Pretend you heard nothing and find another way to deal with Bao An.]

[Two: Edit the recording, keeping the useful parts for yourself and sending the rest to Bao An’s wife.]

[Reward: For two days starting now, Money Blessing bonus: 200 yuan/minute.]

[The countdown begins now. Ten!]

Without waiting for the system to continue its countdown, Lin Feng immediately had Huizi find Bao An’s wife’s phone number within ten minutes and anonymously send the recording to that number.

After doing all this, Lin Feng couldn’t help but let out a gloating laugh.

’I’m really looking forward to this,’ he thought. ’I wonder how Bao An’s wife will react when she finds out?’

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, Host, on completing the mission. Reward acquired: For two days starting now, Money Blessing bonus: 200 yuan/minute.]

[Please continue to strive for excellence, Host.]

This time, Lin Feng was very satisfied with the system’s mission.

It felt a little unethical, but it was just the right amount of dirty, making him eager to see the results.

However, before Lin Feng could see the results, he received an invitation. It was from a food industry giant in the city. They had opened a new branch and were inviting him to a banquet to celebrate.

The timing was very rushed—it was for this very evening.

After glancing at the time and location on the invitation, Lin Feng remained perfectly calm and composed.

’It’ll take some time for Bao An’s wife to receive the recording and process it. I probably won’t get to see the show today.’

So, he temporarily put it out of his mind, instructed his subordinates to keep an eye on the situation, and when it was time to leave work, he sent a message to Su Ruoxi, changed into a formal suit, and headed to the location on the invitation.
