Then, Lin Shuangshuang quickly told him about the events at the training institution.
After listening, Ou Minghan was very displeased. "Lin Shuangshuang, your people are reaching too far! Don't you forget that you promised not to interfere with company management affairs, which is why I overlooked your little schemes to get close to me under the guise of joining the company. Don't push your luck!"
Lin Shuangshuang was furious. Would Ou Minghan even think a cockroach crawling past him was deliberately approaching him to attract his attention?
However, it was a critical time, and Lin Shuangshuang didn't have time to argue with him about such matters.
"Ou Minghan, get it straight! If you hadn't suddenly disappeared and the company had such major problems with no one to solve them, do you really think I would have contacted you?" Lin Shuangshuang said angrily. "Are you planning to wait until things blow up and the training institution goes bankrupt before you're willing to step in?!"
"What's the hurry?" Ou Minghan scoffed. "I have more important matters to attend to. What's one training institution? Besides, he's just a college student, not the first troublemaker. What kind of waves can he make? If the company really gets into trouble... Cough, haven't you made enough money yet? Woman, stop making excuses to approach me. I told you I'm very busy!"
With that, Ou Minghan hung up the phone.
Lin Shuangshuang was stunned. She hurriedly called Ou Minghan back, only to find she had been blocked!
Angry and helpless, Lin Shuangshuang forced herself to calm down and carefully considered every word Ou Minghan had said.
As for what Ou Minghan was actually doing, she didn't want to guess. Ever since she accidentally overheard Ou Minghan contemplating assassinating Ye Zhi and kidnapping the Ye family members, she had stopped trying to figure out his plans.
In fact, even if she stumbled upon something, she would pretend not to know.
However, Ou Minghan's complete disregard for the training institution was too abnormal. The training institution was essentially a scam. While there had been minor disturbances before, this incident was more serious, and Ou Minghan should have understood that!
Yet, Ou Minghan seemed utterly indifferent to the fate of the training institution, not even willing to consider a solution. And what did he mean by saying, "if the company really gets into trouble..." What was he planning to do with the company?!
Thinking of Ou Minghan's question about whether she had made enough money, Lin Shuangshuang suddenly considered a possibility. Was Ou Minghan planning a cash-out and run?
The training institution was bound to have problems sooner or later. Cashing out and leaving at this juncture would allow him to take the money and avoid responsibility. Moreover, the training institution had been profitable, and it would be easy to find a buyer.
Also, he had rejected investment offers before. But recently, he had started issuing more shares, preparing to raise funds, clearly looking for a naive buyer to take over!
The more Lin Shuangshuang thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Her heart hardened. Whether it was true or not, she had to run! At least, she had to run faster than Ou Minghan!
Lin Shuangshuang immediately picked up her phone and contacted several minor shareholders who had previously intended to acquire her shares, preparing to transfer her own.
Afterward, Lin Shuangshuang cashed out and exited the company at the fastest possible speed.
However, just as she left, the issues with the training institution erupted.
The college student had initially held out hope for a negotiated solution. But he hadn't expected the training institution's staff to keep delaying, pushing things from day to day, week to week, with no end in sight. Some people who had planned to sue the institution with him were even blacklisted by credit bureaus for failing to repay their loans on time.
The college student, furious, directly exposed the matter online.
Many people had been deceived by this training method. Numerous individuals shared their grievances in relevant posts, reigniting public interest. Even lawyers came forward voluntarily, offering to take on their case pro bono.
As the situation escalated, Feng Jie found the operation strangely familiar. After investigating, he went to find Ye Zhi with a sense of exasperation.
"You mean that training institution belongs to Ou Minghan?" Ye Zhi asked, surprised.
"Yes," Feng Jie sighed. "Ou Minghan had someone hold the shares on his behalf, so I hadn't noticed that this shady, potentially illegal training institution was run by Ou Minghan. And now it's too late. I've found out that Ou Minghan has already sold the training institution and cashed out!"
Ye Zhi: ...
She didn't know what to say. How could Ou Minghan keep coming up with illegal schemes one after another?
Using training to trick people into taking out loans was, in this world, something Ou Minghan had 'pioneered'. However, it was precisely because of this that Ou Minghan was able to exploit the loophole.
Ye Zhi even thought that given Ou Minghan's daring and unscrupulous nature, he might eventually go abroad to establish a team dedicated to fraud.
Ye Zhi frowned and tapped her fingers on the table.
"Feng Jie, inform the live streaming department to create a knowledge section," Ye Zhi said sternly.
"Ah?" Feng Jie was taken aback.
"Then, contact university professors, renowned scholars, industry experts, and other talents, and invite them to open courses on T Live. They can charge fees or offer them for free; T Live can provide them with certain subsidies," Ye Zhi continued.
Feng Jie suddenly understood. "President Ye, are you doing this so people won't be tricked by that training institution anymore?"
"More than that," Ye Zhi said slowly. "Ou Minghan has set a bad precedent. Such money-grabbing training institutions will inevitably become more numerous. Therefore, by providing a platform for those in need to learn essential knowledge and skills, the probability of them being deceived will be lower."
"I understand, President Ye," Feng Jie agreed.
"For the knowledge section, you need to categorize and screen the content. The broader the content, the better. However," Ye Zhi added with a reminder, "just adding a knowledge platform is not enough. How about this, Feng Jie, contact the relevant authorities and see if they need to cooperate with our Taoxun to develop a national anti-fraud application."
"An anti-fraud application?" Feng Jie was somewhat taken aback.
"Yes, apart from this training scam, other scams are also becoming increasingly prevalent. In this situation, an anti-fraud application is very necessary," Ye Zhi said seriously. "When people are being scammed, their minds are unclear and they become impulsive, easily led astray by the fraudsters. As long as someone can remind them at that moment, allowing them to calm down and make a decision a few hours later, most people will regain their senses and see through the scam."
Feng Jie quickly understood. "So the application we need to develop will use different methods to remind victims that the other party is a scammer when they receive a call from a fraudster?"
