Chapter 117: Incur Hatred

Hanks looked disappointed and upset.

The middle-aged man was stunned.

He looked at Hanks and asked in disbelief.

“What do you mean? What do you mean by we’re going to lose Bell?”

The middle-aged man looked very agitated.

However, Hanks was not surprised.

They knew how important Bell was to the company.

After this period of time, Bell’s videos had increased their company’s profits by 30%.

Even for top streamers, it was very difficult to increase the company’s profits by so much.

It was because they saw Bell’s potential that the company wanted to capture him.

But now, it might have the opposite effect.

The higher-ups of the company were eager to sign a long-term contract with Bell.

They even increased the benefits.

But not only did they not succeed, it instead forced Bell to leave.

The middle-aged man breathed heavily and looked at Hanks.

“What happened? Tell me in detail.”

Then, Hanks explained his encounter with Bell in detail.

After hearing that Bell was so concerned about the contract time, the middle-aged man frowned.

Then, he sighed, “Forget it, I don’t blame you. After all, this is the decision of the higher-ups. Go back. I will report this to them.”

Hanks nodded and returned to his office.

In the room, the middle-aged man held his forehead, his eyes filled with anger.

“Narrow minded bastards!”

The man thought that this matter could be completed smoothly.

But now, it seemed like he had taken it for granted.

“No, we can’t let him leave the company like this.

I have to discuss it with the higher-ups.”

The man thought for a moment and felt that he could not let go of the money tree, Bell, even if they had to use some underhanded methods.

The news quickly spread to the directors.

After knowing that Bell did not plan to sign a long-term contract, they were furious.

“Hmph, looks like our attitude towards him was too good.”

“Since he’s not signing a long-term contract, it looks like he’s preparing to sign a contract with other platforms.”

“When this contract expires, release the news that our company wants to ban Bell.”

“Let’s see how a broadcaster like him can go against the company.

He’s just an eight-year-old child who doesn’t know his place. ”

“When he can’t take it anymore, get someone to contact him. There is no need to give any high-level contracts at that time, just give us a normal one.”

“We have to suppress this young man’s spirit.”

In just a few words, the higher-ups had already decided on the future of Bell.

In fact, this was not the first time this had happened.

Bell was indeed very outstanding and had great potential.

But they had seen many people who were arrogant because of their talent.

However, under the pressure of the company, these people still obediently followed.

They believed that Bell would not be an exception.

They were not worried about Bell starting a company alone.

There were only so many popular streamers. As for celebrities, it was very difficult to invite them. Normally, unless they took the initiative to join, the platform would not be able to invite them at all.

As long as the news was released, everyone would control their streamers.

Bell alone could not support a company.

All the major platforms were very united.

Several days passed quickly.

Bell and the others had not been idle these past few days.

Keira, Scarlett, Anne, and Natalie used their connections.

Bell invested a whole 10 million for this.

It had almost completely used up all his assets.

As for Keira and the others, they symbolically took out a portion and gathered 9 million.

It was not that they could not invest more.

The main reason was that they only wanted to help Bell.

Bell naturally had to be the main shareholder.

As for the legal issues of Bell’s young age, the few of them completed the necessary procedures and signed the contract.

The preparation for the company was going smoothly.

What Bell had to do was to finish building the company before his contract expired.

Then, he could continue seamlessly.

During this period, Hanks had called him once.

Over the phone, Hanks reminded himself to pay more attention to the company. The attitude of the higher-ups seemed to have changed.

Bell only smiled.

He thanked Hanks, but he did not feel anything.

This was not unexpected.

When you could no longer create value for an organization, the organization would bare its fangs.

Bell, who had lived two lives, knew this very well.

On the other hand, he was surprised that Hanks would warn him.

“Maybe this guy is really a qualified manager. Maybe I can recruit him.”

Bell thought to himself.

Hanks definitely did not know that he was about to start a company.

But now was not the time.

After all, the company had yet to be established. Before he resolved the problem with the video platform, it was better if fewer people knew about it.

Bell and the others were busy for four days in the hotel that the production team had booked.

The production team finally arrived.

It had to be said that the production team was much slower than these live-stream platforms.

After getting on the plane, Bell finally returned to China.

As soon as he got off the plane, Bell saw two familiar figures.

They were Li Ziqi and Lin Xiaoxiao.

“Sister Ziqi, Sister Xiaoxiao.”

Bell smiled and waved.

The two of them walked forward when they saw Bell.

“Let me see, you’ve lost weight again.”

Li Ziqi pinched Bell’s chubby face.

Lin Xiaoxiao was not to be outdone.

Bell was like a rubber ball being rubbed by the two women, making him speechless.

Fortunately, this situation did not continue for long.

Because behind Bell, Scarlett and the others walked down.

As soon as Scarlett and Li Ziqi met, Bell felt a smell of gunpowder in the air.

Good lord, he did not know why, but Li Ziqi and Scarlett Johansson did not seem to get along.

Bell could only smile awkwardly and step forward to smooth things over.

“Alright, let’s go eat first. It’s been too long since I ate my hometown’s food. Sister Ziqi, let me taste your food today.”

Bell did not dare to let the two of them continue staring at each other. He quickly turned Li Ziqi’s attention to him.
