Chapter 393: Crazy Hints

“Pfizer, huh?”

The old leader muttered. He had heard of this name before. It was one of the top medical institutions in the United States. Coupled with the fact that it was currently considered a top-notch pharmaceutical company in China, he felt that the possibility of Pfizer developing preventive drugs was much higher than the officials. After all, there was strength in numbers. Moreover, even the news in China did not spread as quickly as they did in the United States. They had already started manufacturing preventive drugs, but the officials here still did not know anything.

Isn’t the disparity in the news too big?

He rubbed his temples and said, “I know this is a little difficult, but time waits for no man. I hope you can make the preventive medicine in a short time. If you need my help in the future, feel free to ask! I’m willing to pay anything to protect the people of China!”

His gaze was firm, as if there was an inextinguishable flame hidden in it. Even Luming’s calm emotions were stirred up. He nodded and said, “Since I have the ability, it’s naturally my duty to contribute to the country. If I encounter any problems in the future, I’ll come to you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the old leader found him more and more pleasing to the eye. He thought to himself, China needs such energetic young people!

Immediately after, Lu Ming took a sip of tea and changed the topic. “Speaking of which, I fired many employees of the company recently, including the management. If not for the fact that there are many employees in the company, I’m afraid it would have been chaotic for a long time. I think you would have heard of the reason why I fired them, right?”

He planned to alert the old leader secretly. On the account that the old leader was his godfather’s friend and that he treated him well, he couldn’t just watch as the other party was tricked by Fang Tiancheng.

He had not forgotten the evaluation given by the glasses not long ago—wild ambition, pretending to obey, and using his current power to collect high remuneration from others, and his relationship with them was complicated. Such a long evaluation left a deep impression on Lu Ming.

However, it was also within his expectations. From Fang Tiancheng’s previous actions, Lu Ming could tell how greedy this person was. Once a person let his desire grow, he would definitely resort to extreme means in the end. Since Fang Tiancheng could say those things to him, what about others? They would probably be no different, right?

The old leader was stunned for a moment. Why did Lu Ming suddenly change the topic to this? His mind subconsciously recalled a few lines in the news. The reason for the employees’ expulsion was indeed strange. He even suspected that something had happened to Little Ming that day, so he vented his anger on his employees.

However, based on his understanding of Little Ming, he did not think that he would do such an irrational thing since this would ruin his reputation. He only knew the gist of this matter, so he did not know that those who had been laid off were immediately arrested by the police after leaving the company.

“I’ve heard of it, but why?”

Good, he has fallen for it!

It was really beyond his expectations that the old leader would be so cooperative. Could it be that after playing chess a few times, his favorability towards him had improved drastically?

Lu Ming looked at his calm godfather at the side. Perhaps he had the support of the other party. He blew on the steaming tea leaves and said, “Most of these people look pretty good on the surface. Even their usual performance is top-notch. There are even a few good seedlings who are slated for promotion to managerial positions in the future.”

On the surface?

The old leader was a smart man. How could he not know what the person in front of him meant? He asked, “What did they do behind your back?”

“They leaked the company’s secrets. Before I found out, hundreds of millions’ worth of cooperation deals were lost because of what they did. At that time, I was wondering why my actions seemed to have been seen through by those opponents. I didn’t think that their intelligence was enough to see through my actions. Later on, I tried to expose the spies. It was only on the day of the meeting that I completely pulled out these nails.”

Lu Ming paused for a moment and continued, “In fact, Lu Ming Corporation’s remuneration is better than most companies on the market. I thought that this would be able to win over people’s hearts. I didn’t expect that they would betray the company for a small profit. Some of them were even sent by other companies to gather information from the beginning. Those who couldn’t be planted directly used money to bribe old employees.

Such methods are endless. I’m thinking about raising their salaries, but they’re thinking about how to get more money. I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep such heartless people! It’s not that I don’t give them face. As long as they leave the company obediently, I will let bygones be bygones!”

Since he said this, it must have been very ugly in the end, right?

In the old leader’s opinion, his good friend’s godson had already done his best. If it were any other boss, they would have already caused a huge commotion! As the boss of a big company, Lu Ming was very qualified, but still, he could not avoid those who wanted to have their cake and eat it too!

Seeing that he was deep in thought, Lu Ming continued, “They don’t know their limits at all. They even think that I’m being unreasonable. Some people who are unconvinced want to expose this matter and make my reputation plummet. Therefore, I have to remind them what they’ve done. I’m already being magnanimous in not asking them to cough up their year-end bonus!

There are also people who think that they’re talented and can quickly reach my current level, but how can I let them taste so much sweetness and escape unscathed? That’s why I called the police and sued them for leaking company secrets. They should still be in jail.”

Tang Mingkun only had a rough idea. He had no idea that so many things had happened. When he and his old leader heard the word ‘talented’, they had questions. Who is so ignorant? Since when have geniuses become so common? Lu Ming is a genius among geniuses. How could ordinary people reach such a height?

Why do they think that if Lu Ming could do it, so could they? Are they daydreaming? Or are they out of their minds? Even a fool would know that it’s impossible to replicate Lu Ming’s path of success, right? Talent, hard work, and luck are all indispensable. How could there be a second person in the world who perfectly meets such requirements? This is rarer than the chance of becoming rich overnight.

Immediately after, Lu Ming concluded, “There’s no knowing what’s in a person’s heart. No one knows who will eventually betray them for the sake of benefits. I’m starting to pay attention to my employees’ actions now to prevent the company from suffering greater losses. Sometimes, I think years of relationship mean nothing. Lured by profits, it’s normal to betray others for the sake of satisfying one’s desires!”

At this point, Tang Mingkun knew what he meant.
