News of Feng Yu leaving Microsoft was passed to the media. This is not targeting Feng Yu. Microsoft is a listed company, and any movements of the top management must be reported.

  After Feng Yu’s departure was announced, news media went to Microsoft to find out the reasons. The media was curious if Feng Yu was forced to resign.

  The media found out that Feng Yu had left Microsoft yesterday, and Paul Allen represented Microsoft to make a statement. Feng Yu had resigned because he felt he is not suitable to take on the higher management role in Microsoft.

  Paul Allen did not state why Feng Yu felt he is not suitable and only gave the reporters a mysterious smile, affirming the suspicions of Feng Yu was fired.

  The reporters rushed to Feng Yu’s house but noticed there was a row of bodyguards outside. Feng Yu’s house is his private property, and no one dares to trespass. If anyone enters the premises without permission, the owner can open fire!

  That’s why the reporters can only wait outside and don’t dare to enter. Even without the bodyguards, they are also worried that Feng Yu will shoot them.

  “Boss, there are many reporters outside waiting to interview you. Should we ask them to leave?” Ralph had stayed in Feng Yu’s house yesterday and was shocked to see so many people outside.

  “You can go and meet them and ask them to leave. You should know what to say.” Feng Yu continued eating his breakfast. Although it’s 10 am now, but he had stayed up late last night to play Legend of Mir. Hah! The American servers are all noobs!

  Ralph walked out of the door, and Feng Yu received a call from Kirilenko.

  “Feng, what happened? I received the news once I woke up. Did you really resign from Microsoft?” Kirilenko’s loud voice almost broke Feng Yu’s eardrums.

  “Yes. I am no longer working in Microsoft, and I will just be one of the shareholders, without any responsibilities.” Feng Yu replied casually.

  “Why? Is it because of Paul?” Kirilenko asked angrily.

  “He is one of the reasons, but just him alone cannot decide whether if I can continue to stay in Microsoft. I had fallen out with Bill Gates, as he tried to interfere with my businesses.”


  “Hmph! Who does he think he is? He dares to interfere with your business? Why don’t you dump your Microsoft shares? Anyway, our software company will be Microsoft’s competitor in the future.

  “I intend to do so.” Feng Yu laughed.

  “What did you say? You are really going to sell your Microsoft shares?! Microsoft shares are rising. Although it is not skyrocketing, it had never dropped. What are you thinking?!”


  Kirilenko was very surprised. Feng Yu loves to invest in Microsoft, and in the past, his biggest investment is buying Microsoft shares. Why did he decide to sell off his Microsoft shares now? Just because he had fallen out with Bill Gates!?

  But this should be impossible. Even if Feng Yu had a fallout with Bill Gates, those Microsoft shares still belong to Feng Yu, and he doesn’t have to sell. Furthermore, Feng Yu believes in letting others make money for him.

  Kirilenko was joking earlier. Could Feng Yu be joking with him too?

  “Who says Microsoft shares will not plunge? If I sell my Microsoft shares, the share prices will plummet. Alright. Don’t worry about me. I am fine, and I am just switching my investments to another company. There are no companies in this world that can remain at the top forever.”


  “Feng, I had also bought some Microsoft shares. You must remember to inform me when you are going to dump their shares.”


  “Hahaha…… Don’t worry. Why will I not inform you?”


  “Feng, are you really alright? Do you want me to visit you in Seattle for a drink?”


  “No need. I will be going to New York in a few days. Let’s chat when I arrive.” Drink with me? You are just trying to make me drink with you!

  After hanging up with Kirilenko, Fu Guangzheng called. “Brother Feng, I saw the news of your resignation from Microsoft.”


  “Yes. Does everyone know about this now? It’s no big deal, and I also do not like being a director in the first place. You should know about this.”


  “I understand. But I feel Microsoft is ungrateful, as you had helped them expand into China! This is killing the donkey the moment it leaves the millstone!”


  Feng Yu: “.……” You are a donkey! Who console others like this?!

  “I am really alright, and I had wanted to quit in the first place. I will also sell off my Microsoft shares later and concentrate on growing Lenovo Kingsoft.”


  “Are you really fine? Are you not disappointed?”


  “What’s there to be disappointed? Not being a director will not stop me from making money. Do you think that others can step all over me just because I am no longer a director with Microsoft?” Feng Yu proudly replied.

  Microsoft Director is only something additional. Even without this title, Feng Yu can still shine!

  “Ok. I will be flying to the US in a few days. Lat’s catch up then.”


  Feng Yu knows Fu Guangzheng is representing the Fu family in the call.

  After a while, Li Zekai called to console Feng Yu. He is almost certain that Feng Yu was kicked out of Microsoft because when Feng Yu was still a director, he had never been to work. Although Feng Yu is not getting paid, he will get bonus shares at the end of the year.

  Feng Yu had no reason to quit as being a director, or not will stop him from doing the things he wants.

  Kameda Masao, Liu Chuanzhi, Heitaro Nakajima, etc. had called to console Feng Yu.

  Feng Yu was speechless. Do I look like someone who cannot accept some setbacks in life? Furthermore, how does this consider a setback?

  Feng Yu kept explaining to them…… I am fine and don’t need any consolation. I am very happy…… and had almost let off fireworks to celebrate……

  So…… Feng Yu went out to buy a lot of fireworks and set them off at his house!

  The neighbors were talking about Feng Yu. Did you see that house there? Yes…… the most beautiful house with a helicopter parked on the roof. That house belongs to the former Microsoft Director Feng Yu, and he was kicked out of Microsoft.

  Look…… he had gone crazy. If he is not crazy, why is he letting off fireworks?

  You say Feng Yu is the World’s Second Richest man, and do not need the money? You are wrong. Feng Yu is someone who aims to overtake Bill Gates. After getting kicked out of Microsoft, he might not have the chance in his lifetime!

  If Feng Yu knows what others are saying behind his back, he will…… he will still set off the fireworks.

  Feng Yu does not care about these speculations and gossips. At this time next year, everyone will know why he is celebrating!

  Translator’s note: ‘Killing the donkey the moment it leaves the millstone’ is a Chinese idiom, which implies getting rid of somebody as soon as he finishes his job.
