164: Chapter 63: The feeling of being someone’s dog is really solid!

To get something done, it’s indispensable to set the stage and bring people together.

Different roles in the team have their own place, and Cheng Daqi’s position for himself was simple—leader.

He was responsible for controlling the overall situation and managing the team’s relationships.

The specific technical and marketing tasks would definitely still need to be done by his employees.

Beyond the conventional team structure, there was also a special existence.

Outsourcing.

Doing the hardest and most tiring work for relatively lower pay.

Li Haiping was now playing the role of an outsourcer.

And he hadn’t taken a single cent of salary!

“CEO Cheng, I was afraid of arriving late and delaying your important business, so I came a bit earlier.

I haven’t caused you any trouble, have I?”

The intermediary brother knew how to socialize.

I’m here to help you for free, but I came early because I’m afraid of delaying your affairs.

“Haven’t I caused you any trouble?” The essence of upward socializing was fully captured in this sentence.

With a smile, he raised his hand and pointed at Li Haiping.

Cheng Daqi opened the front door of Li Haiping’s house, letting Li Haiping in.

“Elder Li, you’re too polite, it’s just past two o’clock now.”

“Ah, CEO Cheng, what are you saying?

Your business is my business, and moving houses is a major event.

I heard you’re cooking dinner tonight; I thought I’d come over a bit early to lend you a hand.”

Hefting the kitchen utensils he had brought directly onto the kitchen counter, Li Haiping countered Cheng Daqi’s words.

But this kind of counter wasn’t forceful, leaving Cheng Daqi somewhat amused and helpless.

Elder Li, you’re too much.

Even with your eagerness, I still can’t raise your commission ratio.

“Elder Li, you said you wanted to meet and talk, have you made any progress on your side?”

The intermediary brother wouldn’t offer his help for no reason, arriving this early with such a low posture definitely meant he wanted something.

Cheng Daqi couldn’t figure out his specific thoughts and decided to probe first.

“There is some progress.

I’ve found a few agents, all veterans.

It’s just the matter of how we bring people in, I have a somewhat immature idea.”

Li Haiping bent over, helping Cheng Daqi prepare the ingredients.

The two stood in front of the kitchen counter, chatting as they worked.

“Just speak your mind.”

Cheng Daqi didn’t offer much of a lead-in, unsure if Li Haiping was playing mind games with him.

It’s actually quite a hassle when a collaborative partner becomes overly eager and harbors their own intentions during the cooperation process.

“It’s like this, CEO Cheng, although we’re doing this with small American groups, American regulatory agencies are numerous, and there might be unexpected issues.”

Li Haiping dared not beat around the bush and went straight to his point.

“We could dress this project up a bit, like making it the ‘Family Reunion Care Plan’ and even create a website for it, making it look proper.

Then, let our future clients believe they succeeded in immigrating through this plan.

Their qualifications certainly won’t meet the requirements of the plan, and our agents will tell them that our business is to make them meet the requirements, thus making our business seem legitimate.”

Appearances can be deceiving, and the sea’s depth unfathomable.

Cheng Daqi hadn’t expected Elder Li to be so creative.

“Elder Li, you look honest enough, but you’re pretty cunning, your schemes are quite comprehensive.

Your idea is good, but don’t overthink it; this matter isn’t as dangerous as you believe.

Even if things do go wrong, as long as you don’t blabber, I can still fish you out.”

While Cheng Daqi was satisfied with Elder Li’s caution, he was reluctant to do more than necessary.

The more actions you take, the more mistakes you make, and the more you do, the more loopholes you create.

He now had the power to break through the situation, at least in this matter.

His confrontation with Gru yesterday had won him a round; Gru’s willingness to meet with Cheng Daqi indicated that the corrupt cop had no intention of burning bridges.

Therefore, even if Li Haiping, who would be in the front line, was caught in the future, Cheng Daqi was confident he could keep him safe.

Cheng Daqi’s words not only failed to dispel Li Haiping’s doubts, but they actually increased his apprehension.

CEO Cheng, are you that confident?

“I know that you can’t be timid or hesitant with this sort of thing, but I have a family and a business too, CEO Cheng, let’s be considerate of each other.”

Li Haiping said with a bitter expression.

He was somewhat dissatisfied with Cheng Daqi; his attitude had been humble enough today.

The request he made wasn’t excessive at all, yet Cheng Daqi seemed to have no intention of yielding, not taking his suggestions seriously.

“Elder Li, don’t leave Saint Rodu for the next few years.

As long as you’re in Saint Rodu, even if Bobole came after you, you wouldn’t need to be afraid.

But if you’re caught in another state, then I could only let you…”

Turning his head, quietly looking at Li Haiping, Cheng Daqi spoke in a low voice.

A cold sweat broke out on the middle-aged intermediary’s forehead; he understood what Cheng Daqi meant.

Though Cheng Daqi was wearing an apron for cooking, in Li Haiping’s eyes, an undeniable air of dominance was exposed.

I reign supreme in Saint Rodu!

“Gulp~” Elder Li swallowed nervously out of fear.

He realized that this operation was much more dangerous than he had thought.

He believed that cooperating with Cheng Daqi was about making money, but at this moment, Cheng Daqi’s words made him realize that this money was much harder to earn than he had imagined.

“Alright, we’re all friends here, what are you worried about?

Just remember not to leave Saint Rodu and you’ll be fine.”

Cheng Daqi said with a smile, bringing the conversation back on track, and asked about Li Haiping’s progress on recruiting clients.

“How many prospective clients have you recruited so far?”

“Nine, and I can round up to twenty by tomorrow.”

Setting aside his concerns, Li Haiping focused on responding to Cheng Daqi’s questions.
