Lei Feng took the elevator to the Basement Level-2 area and found a Brand new red and black color Bugatti Chiron parked in there.
There were a few office workers who were taking selfies with it. One was even video-calling his brothers to show off. Telling him that this car belongs to his boss.
Lei Feng looked at them with amusement. He had to do several things today so after waiting for another 5 minutes, he decided to leave.
He took the keys out of his pocket and started walking towards it.
"Give way," he said as he approached the car.
The car clicked and scissor doors opened showing the limited edition interior of the car. The car features high-quality materials like leather, carbon fiber, mahogany wood, etc. customizable to the finest details, and state-of-the-art entertainment systems. It blends comfort with a racing-inspired cockpit layout to provide a premium driving experience.
It looks like a luxury car from the inside but what's underneath that classy look that makes it a beast. An 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine, producing around 1,479 horsepower. This immense power allows the Chiron to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just over 2 seconds and achieve a top speed that is electronically limited to 420 km/h.
He started the car and it roared like a beast, ready to hunt. Lei Feng appreciated the car one more time and set off towards The Ancient Group Headquarters.
________________________________
Gu Feitian and Gu Ling were sitting in the office looking haggard with dark circles underneath their eyes.
They barely got any sleep last night just to make preparations for today's aftermath. The incident has already created storms and the waves are about to hit the Ancient Group like a tsunami.
Every WeChat group was flooded with negative memes about their company. News articles about their family's deeds filled the whole internet. Zhao Lang, Gu Tianchen, and Gu Meng were even scared to leave their home.
Only Gu Jing'er went to her work because she works at a Hospital and she cannot be away for too long.
*knock knock*
Someone knocked on the door.
"Come in."
"Good Morning sir, we have found the employee who posted that message on the company's Weibo. It was Li Hong from the propaganda department sir. He has been with us for 4 years and he is currently working as a manager of the propaganda department." The human resource manager said and paused.
Feeling his hesitation Gu Feitian asked him to continue, "And?"
"Sir I am not sure if I should say this or not, but he was brought in by Young Master Gu himself four years ago. He instructed me and the tech department to pave the way for him and give him the rights he has today."
"Otherwise a small manager would not have rights to access our group's Weibo ID."
he stopped there and waited for his response.
"Anything else?!"
"Sir, we found a few call recordings in his phone."
then he pushed a pen drive to Gu Feitian and said, "The Tech and Legal department said to hand it over to you. They sent you the decryption password."
then he left.
....
Gu Feitian rubbed his eyes and looked towards Gu Ling with a serious face, "Do you know anything about this Li Hong?"
Gu Ling thought for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, he is the father of Li Wu. He is a classmate and friend of Gu Tianchen. He was in that video as well that Lei Feng showed yesterday."
She thought 'Was all this instructed by Tianchen? But why would he do that? To defame Lei Feng? No. To vent his anger? Probably.'
Then another possibility came to her mind, 'Does he want Lei Feng to completely break off with Gu Family? But why would he do that? Dad has already named him his future successor.'
Gu Feitian on the other hand knew instantly what had transpired after he left the company yesterday. It was probably Gu Tianchen who called Li Hong to do all this. Against his will, he decided to open the file and listen to the recording.
He plugged it into his personal computer and opened the file after entering the password. There were a bunch of audio files in it.
He clicked on one and they started listening to the recordings.
"Li Hong"
"Good Morning Young Master Gu, what can I do for you?"
"I want 30,000 yuan immediately. Arrange for cash from the company."
"Yes master, I will take some cash out for Donation and give it to Li Wu. Collect it from him at the previous place."
...
"I want 50,000 this time. It's urgent so directly transfer them to this account number."
...
"I want you to book me a flight to Beijing. Make it first class."
...
"I want you to do something for me. If you do this correctly, I will promote you to Director of the Propaganda department when I take over the company."
"Now listen I want you to write ... on the Company's Weibo account. Make sure to defame Lei Feng that b!tch so that he doesn't even dare to go outside. I want to ruin him. How dare he compete with me."
"Can you do it?"
"But master, the Chairman will not be happy with this."
"I will handle Gu Feitian myself, you just do what you are told to do."
"I will take care of your son's expenses in college, he can follow me around. No more."
....
There was too much information in this data. Gu Feitian regretted listening to this in front of Gu Ling. Not only did Gu Tianchen openly misappropriate company funds, but he also passed rude remarks about him and his sister Gu Ling on multiple occasions. Even calling her a b!tch.
Her face was red with anger, she couldn't wait to beat this good brother of hers.
"Dad, what are you going to do about this?"
"We will talk about it at home, contact the HR department, and have them fire Li Hong. Don't pursue it legally unless he bites us back. We don't know if he has backup with him. It's just a few million, we have more serious matters to deal with."
He looked towards the huge screen to his left. The latest market trends were shown on one of them and the other one showed a K-line chart of the Ancient Group.
Gu Ling's expression turned serious as well.
"Let us deal with the market situation for now. How much liquid funds are available at the moment?"
"I called all the branches and was able to scrap 18 billion, leaving enough for working capital that would last 3 months."
"It is far from enough."
Right then a mocking voice came from the door, "Knock Knock, Dad open the door. Your son is here to visit you."
Yes, it was Lei Feng who came. He came here to give one last push to acquire as many shares as possible.
Lei Feng entered the door without waiting for permission, he looked around the room and said, "Old man your taste is not bad."
He walked towards the sofa and sat down.
Secretary came from behind but Gu Feitian asked her to back off.
Lei Feng roamed around the room and said, "I have a Deal for you!"
