"Re-verify our current number of streamers immediately!"
"And I especially want a list of all participants in that Streamer Alliance."
"Include their basic information and affiliated companies. Get it done and bring it to me within two hours!"
Even over the phone, the Director of Human Resources could hear the sudden rage in Lin Feng’s voice.
He was completely bewildered, but when the big boss gave a direct order, he had no choice but to execute it immediately!
"Everyone, drop what you’re doing right now! I don’t care how important it is, drop it!"
"Pull up every streamer from the Streamer Alliance in the database and verify their basic information, one by one. And listen—every single piece of information for every person must be re-verified!"
Having navigated the corporate world for so many years, the HR Director knew that when the boss assigned a task in a fit of anger, you had to complete it with guaranteed quality and quantity—or even exceed expectations.
He wasn’t looking for praise. He just wanted to avoid getting chewed out!
After all, he understood that his boss was furious and desperately needed a punching bag. He had no desire to be the scapegoat for no reason!
Meanwhile, Lin Feng was still fuming. He closed his eyes again, sinking into a state of meditation.
He needed to regulate his emotions and, at the same time, think about how to deal with this so-called Streamer Alliance.
But annoyances just kept coming one after another.
Just as he entered his meditative state, his phone suddenly started ringing!
Lin Feng picked up his phone, on the verge of cursing.
But after seeing the caller ID, he forced his simmering anger back down.
He had no choice. The person calling was none other than the woman he loved most, Su Ruoxi.
"What did you do to Lin Xiaoman?"
An accusatory voice came through the moment he answered the call.
"Me? Bully her?"
"How would I dare bully her now!"
"She’s the great leader of the Streamer Alliance! She came over here, threw a tantrum, and started smashing my things. How would I dare provoke someone like that!"
Lin Feng’s anger flared up all over again.
"What’s wrong with you two? Haven’t you always gotten along so well?"
Su Ruoxi was a bit puzzled. Lin Feng usually treated his little sister like the apple of his eye.
If she didn’t know their family situation, Su Ruoxi might have actually found herself getting jealous of his sister from time to time.
"Sigh, it’s a long story. I’ll tell you all about it when I get home."
"What’s wrong? Did she call you to complain? Why else would you suddenly ask me this?"
Lin Feng didn’t want to unload all his troubles onto his girlfriend right now.
Even though he really needed someone to vent to, infecting Su Ruoxi with his bad mood in the middle of the day would just ruin her whole day.
It was better for Lin Feng to just bear his anger himself. There was no need to drag others into it.
"I was just taking a short break and decided to scroll through my Friends Circle. I saw that Lin Xiaoman had posted three or four times, all about lamenting this cruel society and how capitalists have ugly faces."
"I figured either you’d upset her, or she’d been wronged by someone else."
One had to admit, Su Ruoxi was already an amazing sister-in-law.
She had always doted on Lin Xiaoman as if she were her own little sister.
And she never overstepped her bounds. Whenever it came to matters between the two siblings, she would always discuss it with Lin Feng first.
Only after they came up with a concrete, viable plan would she go to Lin Xiaoman to comfort her.
’A wife like this... what more could a man ask for!’
In his heart, Lin Feng couldn’t help but give his girlfriend a big thumbs-up.
They say that the higher a woman’s Appearance, the lower her IQ.
But his girlfriend seemed to be a complete exception. Not only was her IQ sky-high, but her EQ was also in a league of its own, far beyond what most people could ever hope to reach.
"Sigh, it’s not a huge deal. She just came to me for money today. She wanted me to allocate twenty million for her Streamer Alliance to expand, and she also wants to rent some office building. On top of that, she’s proclaiming she’s going to build the biggest streamer alliance in the entire industry."
"But something this big can’t be decided in just a few words, and I think she’s still too green."
"So I made a few sarcastic remarks, and I didn’t expect her to get angry right away."
"She threw my things all over the floor, then turned and slammed the door. And now, she has the nerve to go and complain about me?"
"Looks like that little rascal really needs to be taught a lesson!"
Lin Feng now felt that his sister had truly been spoiled rotten.
How dare she act like this? And on top of that, post three Friends Circle updates in a row complaining about him.
She should know that everything he did was for her own good.
Even if his actions and words were a bit inappropriate this time, his intentions were good!
"Okay, it sounds like this is pretty complicated."
"But it’s rare for Xiaoman to be this passionate about a career. Why don’t you just let her give it a try? I have a few things to take care of on my end. Try to calm down a bit, okay? We can discuss a proper plan when you get home tonight."
"Then I’ll invite Lin Xiaoman over for dinner tonight. You two can talk things out, and this whole thing will blow over."
In her heart, Su Ruoxi really didn’t want to see the two siblings fighting and at odds with each other.
Besides, she had always been quite fond of her little sister-in-law.
Siblings don’t hold grudges overnight, after all!
"Alright, don’t you worry about it. I can handle it~"
When facing his girlfriend, Lin Feng was always so gentle, such a gentleman.
If Lin Xiaoman saw this, she would probably go crazy with anger all over again!
However, after that phone call, Lin Feng really wasn’t as furious as he had been before.
And he began to slowly rethink the issue.
After all, for his sister, this was the first time in her life she had ever managed so many people, and the first time she had shown such strong ambition.
Lin Xiaoman had always been a rather laid-back person, content to go with the flow and just do what she enjoyed. Plus, with such a powerful older brother backing her, she could live a life of carefree luxury, even if she remained idle and did nothing forever.
But all this time, Lin Xiaoman had never wanted to be someone who just lived off her family’s wealth. On the contrary, she was always searching for a job or a career that she loved, something that would allow her to realize her own potential.
So, although she was laid-back, she still possessed a decent amount of ambition.
And now, she had finally found a great ambition, a grand dream.
She wanted to unify the entire industry, to even become number one in her field. But the moment she brought up the idea, she was met with merciless ridicule and suppression from her own brother.
Lin Feng was now starting to feel a little regretful.
He could have originally used a gentler, more tactful approach.
He could have ensured that Lin Xiaoman remained ambitious about her career, while also making her realize that this matter was far from as simple as she imagined.
