William Rhodes left in embarrassment. In Lin Feng's study, Lin Feng looked at Ellie and others with a strange expression.

"Natalie, what's going on with this contract? Why did it become 5 billion? I was talking about 500 million!" Lin Feng asked with a strange look on his face, "With this 500 million, maybe I can blackmail Rhodes. This 5 billion

US dollars, then unless he is insane, he will definitely not agree to a liquidated damages of US$5 billion!"

Girls, you look at me, I look at you, they all look sideways.

"Boss, are you really planning to sell Ellie for 500 million?" Natalie asked in shock.

Ai Li stared at Lin Feng intently. In her eyes, Lin Feng has always been the kind of person who regards money as dirt, and he is extremely protective of his own shortcomings. He would never betray his own people for money. Now, Lin Feng is preparing to invest 500 million yuan.

She sold it herself, which made Ellie a little bit intolerable.

Lin Feng laughed.

"It's not impossible. Sell it for 500 million US dollars, and then Ellie, you and I will split it 50/50, and you sign an agreement with the other party, lower the liquidated damages, and I'll redeem it for you. That's fine."

Lin Feng laughed and said.

All the girls had black lines on their faces.

"Boss, no matter how stupid Rhodes is, he can't be this stupid. If he signs the contract, he won't have to sign a higher ransom!" Natalie just rolled her eyes. Lin Feng thought that Rhodes was too much.

He must be a bit of an idiot. No matter what he says, he is still the president of Citibank. His IQ is not low, and his EQ is not low either.

"Haha, is this difficult? Ellie can ask for a lower ransom, or even sign a contract with Citibank for zero ransom. If Rhodes doesn't want to do it, then just don't sign the contract. Anyway, there is 500 million US dollars in ransom dividends, which is enough for Ali.

Li made a lot of money! Right, Ellie!" Lin Feng chuckled.

The girls just rolled their eyes. This move was really vicious. If so, Rhodes would be furious to death. No, not furious to death. I'm afraid he would be fired on the spot by Citibank's board of directors.

"Lin, your move is indeed vicious, and I can also profit from it, making money that I may not be able to make in this life. But I don't like your attitude. If to you, I am

Such a dispensable person, Mr. Lin, you'd better apply to Ron for someone else." After saying that, Ellie turned and walked away.

Lin Feng was dumbfounded. What's going on...?

"Boss, you have hurt Ellie's heart. You sold her for only 500 million. This has hurt Ellie's self-esteem." Natalie quickly chased after her.

Lin Feng frowned.

"Am I really wrong? I was just joking." Lin Feng said quietly.

"Boss, don't you understand that the more proud a woman is, the more fragile her self-esteem is. I think you'd better go and apologize like Ellie." Lin Chiling also stood by Ellie this time. To be honest.

, Lin Feng said to sell to others face to face this time, this is a bit hurtful to people's self-esteem. Although everyone has a price. But saying it to people like this is really shocking. To be honest, if Lin Feng sells himself like this, then

Lin Chiling will also be sad.

"Is it really wrong?" Lin Feng was confused. This was really a joke, a joke to tease Rhodes.

"Boss, you are really wrong. Ellie is such a proud person. Moreover, she has a high degree and has made a name for herself in the legal profession. She came to be your legal adviser. But it is only the third day and you are going to

It's sold. From a business point of view, from a conspiracy point of view, you are right. But from an emotional point of view, you are dead wrong. Now, I really doubt it. How did you deceive Avril, Jessica?

They are so indulging in you." Melissa rolled her eyes and scolded Lin Feng.

Although Melissa and the others are Lin Feng's secretaries, and the working relationship between them is that of guest and host, there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority in their normal speech. Everyone communicates equally. This has always been allowed by Lin Feng, and even

It's conniving. Lin Feng has nothing to do recently, so he's reading again. What book should he read? Read the history of the Tang Dynasty. In Lin Feng's view, China had its prosperous Han and Tang Dynasties, but in terms of true openness and enlightenment, the Tang Dynasty was the winner. And in the Tang Dynasty

, there are two Mingjuns. One is Tang Taizong Li Shimin who founded the Tang Dynasty, and the other is Tang Minghuang Li Longji.

However, Lin Feng prefers Li Shimin to Li Longji. Therefore, Lin Feng has been studying Li Shimin recently. As far as Lin Feng is concerned, Li Shimin can definitely be regarded as the emperor of the ages, much better than Kangxi. Because although Kangxi let

The Qing Dynasty prospered, but it also planted the seeds that would ultimately lead to the Qing Dynasty's decay - seclusion.

However, after Li Shimin created the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty, he opened up shipping, opened borders, opened up the Silk Road, and allowed countries to come to the dynasty. If it were not for the later corruption and incompetence of the descendants of the Tang Dynasty, then the Tang Dynasty might have embarked on the path of the British Empire.

Road. Among them, Li Shimin also made mistakes, and it was he who led to the future decline of the Tang Dynasty.

Why do you say this? Because Li Shimin has become dull in his old age. This person is the easiest to flatter. Most people will instinctively flatter their superiors. This is human nature. Just like your colleagues around you,

There is a tall, rich and handsome man and a short, poor man. Both of them are your friends. If they ask you to do something at the same time, you will instinctively favor the tall, rich and handsome man.

Since the death of Wei Zheng, Li Shimin has no one around him who dares to give advice. He has gradually become more headstrong and arbitrary, even if it is obviously wrong, he will do whatever he wants. Lin Feng is trying his best to avoid this and avoid himself.

He has become an older version of Li Shimin, who is arbitrary and self-willed. Therefore, he is very indulgent to the secretaries around him and lets them speak what is in their heart. Whatever they think.

Of course, these blunt words are harsh and uncomfortable to be honest. Lin Feng couldn't stand it at first, but he got used to it gradually. People must have a tolerant heart, so that they can discover their own shortcomings and then they can

Only by changing yourself can you be stronger than others.

"Okay, I'll apologize!" Lin Feng accepted the criticism humbly, "But before that, you sent me a letter to Citibank asking them why they allowed William Rhodes to provoke us and openly insult our company.

President!"

Lin Chiling nodded. This is to strike first. No matter what, hit him first without letting Rhodes react. Otherwise, if he strikes first, he will be the one who responds, and then he will be tired of dealing with it. Of course,

Lin Chiling also knew that Lin Feng was trying to establish prestige for Erika Kazama. Before this, there was dissatisfaction within the 'Second World' company with Erika Kazama being the president of the company, so Lin Feng rectified some people in the company.

, Barron Hilton, which took a stake in "Second World", established its reputation and cleared the way for Erika Kazama to serve as president. Now, the outside world is disdainful of Erika Kazama, and Lin Feng is also using William Luo

Deslivet.

While Lin Chiling was busy sending letters to Citibank, Lin Feng found Natalie and Allie on the roof of the hotel.

"Well, Natalie, go and help Zhiling. She is preparing a letter. As for the English wording, go and help her think about it," Lin Feng ordered.

Natalie nodded, gave Lin Feng a cautious look, and left.

"Um, Aili, what happened today..." Lin Feng struggled for a while and decided to just apologize. It's not embarrassing for a man to apologize to a woman. But Lin Feng didn't expect that when he wanted to apologize, he was interrupted.

.

"Mr. Lin, you don't need to apologize to me. This is just a normal business, isn't it? You are a businessman and I am your employee. You don't need to explain anything to me." Ellie turned around.

He stood up, his eyes were reddish, and he looked at Lin Feng, regaining his usual coolness and wisdom, but his aura seemed to be colder.

"Well, Ellie, to be honest, I was really joking just now. I said the wrong thing. I now formally apologize to you!" Lin Feng knew something was wrong at a glance. This woman likes to be duplicitous when she talks.

He didn't care, he wasn't angry anymore, in fact he was very angry in his heart. Therefore, Lin Feng immediately apologized very bachelorly.

"Mr. Lin, I told you, you are the boss, you don't need to apologize to me. It's nothing, I'll go down first." Ai Li bowed slightly to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng frowned. It was obvious that she was very angry.

"Um, Aili, I really..." Lin Feng wanted to explain, but Aili didn't explain to Lin Feng at all and walked away quickly.

Soon, Lin Feng received a call from Ron.

"Lin, what's going on? Ellie just told me that after she fulfills this year's contract, she will let me change someone next year. What happened between you two?" Ron frowned and asked, "I heard the voice, you seem to

It offended Ellie terribly."

Lin Feng was speechless and told the whole story.

"Lin, what do you want me to say? Hey, hey!" Ron sighed repeatedly on the other end of the phone, "I forgot to tell you about Ellie. She grew up in a single-parent family, and it was her mother who pulled her up.

When she grew up, her experience was the same as that of James LeBron from the Rockets. She didn’t know who her father was. But what was even worse than James was that her mother was originally a daughter of a famous family, but she was...

Her father cheated her away, and after the game, because she was addicted to drugs and had a lot of gambling debts, she sold her to a human trafficker group. Hey, I won't go into some of the subsequent experiences. In short, it was very miserable.

.I think you can also guess that her father is really nothing. Therefore, you said that you sold her for 500 million. This may remind her of what happened to her mother."

After hearing this, Lin Feng was speechless. How should I put this? I really didn’t know there was such an inside story. Now, it’s really a matter of not opening the pot!

"Then what should I do now?" Lin Feng asked helplessly.

"Hey, forget it, let's leave it like this for now. After a while, Ellie will naturally adjust her mood. But don't worry, she is a very professional lawyer. So, there will never be any slack at work. This

Don't worry!" Ron said proudly.
