After I died, they cried in the live studio

Jiang Ci Mu sneered, there was no warmth in his laugh, there was a hint of sharpness in his eyes, and he said in a firm tone: "Chu Lin is not an easy character to deal with in the industry. Not only does he have a complicated network of contacts, but his methods are also extremely ruthless. Sang Qi's rash provocation this time is simply a mantis trying to stop a chariot. He is overestimating his own abilities and I am afraid he will end up in disgrace." As he spoke, he clenched his fists slightly, feeling disgusted with Sang Qi's behavior.

Sang Shuwan's thoughts drifted back to the past, and the moments she had spent with Sang Qi came to her mind. Her eyes became a little dazed, and she sighed softly, "He was originally very talented, and had extremely high attainments in art. If he could stick to his heart and keep his feet on the ground, with his talent, he would have made a place for himself in the art world, and how could he have ended up like this today." There was a hint of melancholy in her voice, as if she was feeling sorry for Sang Qi's former talent and potential.

Jiang Cimu noticed that Sang Shuwan was in a low mood, so he reached out and gently patted her shoulder. The warmth from his palm brought comfort. His voice became gentle and soft: "Shuwan, don't worry too much about him. This is all his own choice. No one else can be blamed. We still have to live our own lives and don't let his mistakes affect us." His eyes were full of concern, staring at Sang Shuwan, hoping to dispel the haze in her heart.

Sang Shuwan took a deep breath, and the fresh fragrance of flowers mixed with the fragrance of soil instantly penetrated her heart and lungs. She slowly raised her head and her eyes fell on the beautiful garden in front of her again. The afterglow of the setting sun became softer, giving everything in the garden a golden edge. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly: "You are right, we can't let his affairs disturb our peace. Life goes on, we must cherish the beauty of the present."

Afterwards, the two walked slowly side by side along the path in the garden. The setting sun stretched their shadows out and intertwined them on the stone road. They occasionally talked quietly, sharing their thoughts and feelings, and occasionally fell into silence, just quietly enjoying this rare warmth and tranquility. In this garden shrouded in the afterglow, they temporarily forgot the disturbances of the outside world and immersed themselves in the quiet time that belonged to them, as if time had stopped for them.

In the garden gently wrapped by the afterglow of the setting sun, Sang Shuwan and Jiang Cimu were immersed in a warm and comfortable world for two. The surroundings were quiet, with only the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the branches and the occasional chirping of birds. Jiang Cimu was smiling and was enthusiastically telling Sang Shuwan about an interesting book he had read recently. He gestured in the air from time to time, trying to make the description more vivid. Sang Shuwan, on the other hand, held her chin with both hands, looked at him intently, and was amused to smile softly from time to time, responding with one or two witty remarks, enjoying the tranquility and sweetness.

Suddenly, Sang Shuwan's cell phone rang, breaking this beautiful moment. She subconsciously frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes. After all, anyone would be a little dissatisfied if this rare time for two people was interrupted. She took out her cell phone and saw that it was Alice's call on the screen. She couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Alice would never disturb her at this time unless it was something extremely important.

"Hello, Alice, what's wrong?" Sang Shuwan tried to keep his voice steady, but a hint of nervousness still appeared in his tone. On the other end of the line, Alice's voice was hurried and anxious, and she almost blurted out: "Shuwan, something bad has happened. The company has a super serious situation. You must come here immediately!" Alice's voice was sharp and urgent. Sang Shuwan could even hear her slightly heavy breathing, which made her heart hang in the air.

Sang Shuwan's expression suddenly became solemn, and her face, which was originally full of smiles, was now full of worry. She glanced at Jiang Cimu beside her, her eyes full of helplessness and apology. Jiang Cimu also immediately realized that something was wrong. He pursed his lips slightly, and a trace of concern flashed in his eyes, but he still remained calm, gently patted Sang Shuwan's hand, and motioned her to answer the phone first.

After hanging up the phone, Sang Shuwan gently held Jiang Ci Mu's hand, her fingers exerting a little force due to nervousness. Her voice was full of apology: "Ci Mu, there is an emergency at the company. Alice said the situation is very serious. I must go there right away." Her eyes were full of reluctance. They finally had such a leisurely time for the two of them, but it had to be interrupted.

Jiang Cimu nodded slightly, his eyes showing no complaints, only full of understanding and support. He looked at Sang Shuwan tenderly and said softly, "Okay, work is important, go ahead. Be careful when driving, don't worry, I'll wait for you at home." As he spoke, he gently squeezed Sang Shuwan's hand to give her strength.

Sang Shuwan nodded, looked at Jiang Cimu gratefully, and then kissed him lightly on the cheek, and walked towards the garage quickly with a hint of attachment and determination. Her steps were quick and firm, and her high heels made crisp sounds on the stone road.

As soon as she got into the car, Sang Shuwan quickly fastened her seat belt, started the car, stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove out of the garage like an arrow. She held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and stared at the road ahead with her eyes, her eyes showing concentration and determination. On the road, vehicles came and went, and she kept changing lanes flexibly to overtake, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead because of nervousness. She knew in her heart that the crisis facing the company this time must be not small, and Alice's tone made her feel the seriousness of the situation.

Finally, Sang Shuwan arrived at the company. After parking the car, she almost ran towards the company building. Her high heels made a rapid tapping sound on the smooth floor, and her figure quickly shuttled through the corridor, attracting surprised glances from the surrounding employees.

Sang Shuwan walked straight to the meeting room. Alice had been pacing anxiously inside. When she saw Sang Shuwan coming in, she immediately went to meet him as if she had seen a savior. Alice's face was full of anxiety, her brows were tightly knitted into the shape of a "川" character, the sweat on her forehead had not yet dried, and a few strands of hair were soaked by sweat and stuck to her cheeks. "Shuwan, you're here at last!" Alice's voice was trembling a little, "The partner of the big project that our company had been fully preparing for suddenly unilaterally proposed to terminate the cooperation, and their attitude was very firm. This is simply a disaster for our company!"

Sang Shuwan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew that panicking would be useless at this time and she had to think calmly. Her brows were furrowed, her eyes were sharp, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Alice, don't be anxious. What we need to do now is to calm down and carefully sort out where the problem lies. Do you think the other party is not satisfied with the terms of cooperation, or are there other competitors behind the scenes? In addition, you should sort out all the materials you have previously communicated with them, including emails, meeting minutes, negotiation details, etc. I want to study them carefully."

After hearing this, Alice nodded quickly, said "OK", and hurried to prepare the materials. Sang Shuwan sat alone in the conference room, with her hands crossed on her chin, and fell into deep thought. Her eyes revealed a trace of fatigue, but more of firmness and determination. She knew in her heart that the trouble this time might be beyond imagination, but as one of the core decision makers of the company, she had to go all out, not let the company fall into crisis, and not let down the trust of the employees.

Sang Shuwan originally thought that she could live a peaceful life after getting rid of the shackles of the Sang family. In the past, the Sang family had never stopped fighting and she was looking forward to a peaceful life after leaving. But now, the sudden crisis of the company made her realize that the challenges of life will not disappear just because she leaves the Sang family.

Faced with this difficult situation, Sang Shuwan was a little upset, but she was tough by nature and quickly adjusted her state of mind. Alice was so anxious that her eyes were red and her voice was crying: "Shuwan, what should we do this time? If this project fails, the company will suffer a heavy blow."

Sang Shuwan stood up, walked to Alice, patted her shoulder gently, gave her strength and confidence, and said softly: "Alice, don't panic. Let's work together to find a way, and we will definitely get through this difficult time." Her eyes were firm, revealing a reassuring power.

"When you were communicating with the partners before, did you notice anything unusual on their part? Or were there any terms that you were hesitant or dissatisfied with?" Sang Shuwan asked carefully, trying to find the key to the problem from past details.

Alice tried to recall, frowning, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "They did mention the profit sharing ratio before, thinking that we took a little too much. But we made concessions at the time and made some adjustments, so they didn't mention it again."

Sang Shuwan nodded slightly, paced back and forth in the conference room, and analyzed: "It seems that this profit-sharing ratio may be a breakthrough. In addition, let's check carefully to see if there are any new companies with businesses that overlap with ours in the market recently. Maybe someone is deliberately sabotaging behind the scenes and wants to steal our project."

Alice agreed immediately and started to collect relevant information. Sang Shuwan sat in front of the computer, carefully reviewing the past emails with the partners, not missing any details.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the office became quiet.

As time went by, the atmosphere in the office became more and more solemn. Sang Shuwan rubbed her sore eyes. Staring at the computer screen for a long time made her vision a little blurry. At this time, Alice hurried in with a stack of documents in her hand, looking nervous: "Shuwan, I found something. Recently, there is a new company that has a high degree of overlap with our business, and the investors behind them seem to have a close connection with our partners this time."

Sang Shuwan took the information and quickly glanced through it. Her eyes suddenly became sharp. "It seems that the problem lies here. They want to put pressure on us to make concessions on the cooperation conditions, or even replace us." She pondered for a moment and then said, "Alice, please contact the person in charge of the partner and tell them that we want to renegotiate the details of the cooperation. We must show our sincerity."

Alice quickly dialed the number and said, "The other party agreed to meet, but the time is set for tomorrow morning at their company." Sang Shuwan nodded, "Okay, let's work overtime tonight and come up with the best sincerity and new plan we can."

The office was brightly lit throughout the night. The two discussed the plan repeatedly, from the adjustment of the profit sharing ratio to the promise of providing better service, and carefully considered every detail. Finally, at dawn, a perfect new cooperation plan was born.

The next morning, Sang Shuwan and Alice came to the partner company. The atmosphere in the meeting room was depressing. The person in charge of the other party had a cold expression: "Ms. Sang, our willingness to cooperate is very low now. Your plan is not attractive enough to us."

Sang Shuwan was not in a hurry and opened the plan with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, we understand your concerns. This time we bring a brand new plan, which is not only more reasonable in terms of profit sharing, but also has a series of value-added services." She explained the plan in detail, with clear logic and outstanding advantages.

After hearing this, Mr. Zhang's frown gradually relaxed, and he whispered to the person next to him. After a moment, he looked at Sang Shuwan and said, "Ms. Sang, I have to say that this proposal is very sincere. However, we still need some time to discuss it."

Sang Shuwan and Alice walked out of the conference room, the sun shining on them. Alice asked nervously: "Shuwan, do you think they will agree?" Sang Shuwan took a deep breath and said: "We have tried our best, just wait for the result. I believe our plan is enough to impress them."

Sang Shuwan and Alice walked out of the conference room, the sun shining on them, but Sang Shuwan's mood was like falling into an ice cellar. Before they could recover, Mr. Zhang from the partner hurriedly chased them out with a complicated look.

"Ms. Sang, there is something I think I must tell you." Mr. Zhang hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke, "The investor behind us is actually the Sang Family Group. I just got the news that they seem to have other plans for this cooperation."

Sang Shuwan's heart suddenly sank. She had originally held out a glimmer of hope, but was instantly hit hard by reality. She never thought that after leaving the Sang family for a long time, she still couldn't get rid of their constraints.

"Mr. Zhang, could you tell us in detail what their plans are?" Sang Shuwan tried to calm himself, his voice trembling slightly.

Mr. Zhang sighed, "From what I know, the Sang family wants to ruin this cooperation, suppress your company, and bring you back under their control. They think that your leaving the Sang family is a challenge to the family's authority."

Alice couldn't help but exclaimed: "How can this be! This is too much."

Sang Shuwan gritted his teeth, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, "Mr. Zhang, I understand your difficulties, but I hope you can reconsider our plan. The Sang family's intentions are not pure, and if you are used as a gun by them, you may not get a good result in the end. Our plan is actually beneficial to both parties."

Mr. Zhang pondered for a moment and said, "Ms. Sang, you are right. I will discuss this with other shareholders and give you an answer. But the Sang family is under a lot of pressure, so I can't guarantee it."

After saying goodbye to Mr. Zhang, Sang Shuwan stood in the square outside the building. The wind blew gently, but it couldn't blow away her sorrow. Alice looked at her worriedly, "Shuwan, what should we do now?"

Sang Shuwan clenched his fists, his eyes firm, "No matter who is behind this, I will not let them succeed. The Sang family wants to force me to go back, it's impossible. Let's go back to the company, reorganize the resources, and prepare to deal with all the means of the Sang family. Even if they are a behemoth, I will fight them."

On the streets of a bustling city, there are a lot of cars and people, and the noise is endless. Sang Jiuyue is tall and stands out on the street. She is wearing a very exquisitely tailored Chanel suit. The classic black and white color combination shows luxury and style, and the slim design outlines her figure. Each button on the coat is a small and round pearl, which complements the exquisite chain decoration. The silk shirt inside is soft and smooth, with a faint luster. The black bow tied at the neckline adds a bit of playfulness and exquisiteness to her.

Her well-groomed long curly hair casually falls on her shoulders, a few strands of hair fluttering gently in the breeze, and the ends of her hair fall just right beside her fair collarbone. Her face is like a carefully carved work of art, under her high nose bridge, is a pair of lips that are always painted with bright red lipstick, which makes her look delicate and full of aura. A pair of phoenix eyes are slightly upturned, and the eyes are like a deep pool, revealing coldness and shrewdness. At this moment, these eyes are flashing with a proud light that is almost distorted.

Just now, through her spy in the business world, she learned a piece of news that made her so excited that she almost jumped up - the investment in Sang Shuwan's company was actually manipulated by the Sang family behind the scenes, and they deliberately provoked conflicts with Sang Shuwan's company. In an instant, a huge sense of accomplishment and the pleasure of revenge filled her heart. She seemed to have seen Sang Shuwan's retreat and embarrassment in this business crisis.

At this time, the petite female assistant beside her came over quickly like a pug. The female assistant was wearing a slightly cheap professional suit. Although it was clean and tidy, the fabric and style were completely different from those of Sang Jiuyue. The female assistant's face was full of flattering smiles, her eyes narrowed into a slit, and she said in an almost exaggerated tone: "Sister Jiuyue, you are so amazing! I knew that as long as you use your brain a little, Sang Shuwan will fall into an irretrievable situation. Now she has encountered unprecedented trouble. With her little ability, she still wants to leave the Sang family and make a name for herself in this fiercely competitive business world. It's just a foolish dream!" As the female assistant spoke, she gently patted Sang Jiuyue's arm, and the action was full of flattery. After hearing this, Sang Jiuyue's face became even more proud, and she let out an unusually harsh laugh. The laughter was as sharp as the cry of a night owl, attracting the attention of passers-by. However, she didn't care about the eyes of others at all, and was immersed in her own proud world. The laughter was full of sarcasm. She said contemptuously: "Huh, Sang Shuwan doesn't even consider her own abilities. How capable do you think she is? In this business world, without the protection of the big tree of the Sang family, she is nothing but an insignificant ant. This time the Sang family's move was like a thunderbolt. Her small company had to admit defeat like a candle in the wind. I have to open my eyes and see how she can be proud in front of me in the future, and how dare she put on such a high-handed attitude!"

The female assistant nodded her head repeatedly, the cheap necklace on her neck swaying with her movements. She said in an extremely sure tone: "That's right, Sister Jiyue, you can just wait and see her make a fool of herself. In this situation, anyone with a discerning eye can see that she is obviously at an absolute disadvantage and has no chance of turning things around. Think about it, the Sang family is so powerful and has such a wide network of contacts, they can crush her company with just a flick of their fingers. She is doomed this time!"

Sang Jiuyue held her hands in front of her chest. Her slender fingers were adorned with several priceless rings, each of which exuded a cold and hard metallic luster. Her eyes were full of disdain, as if Sang Shuwan was already a complete loser in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "She used to rely on her little ability and always acted aloof. She was always indifferent to me and didn't take me seriously at all. Humph, I have always kept all this in mind. This time, I have to vent the anger that has been accumulated in my heart in the past and let her know thoroughly how terrible the consequences of offending me are!"

As she spoke, Sang Jiuyue slowly raised her head and looked along the street towards the office building where Sang Shuwan's company was located. Her eyes were full of aggression and provocation, as if she had already regarded the other party as her defeated opponent, and she wanted to rush over immediately to witness Sang Shuwan's miserable appearance with her own eyes. She couldn't wait to say, "Let's go and join in the fun and see with our own eyes how anxious and panicked she is. I'm sure that scene must be very interesting and it will definitely make me feel relieved!"

The female assistant quickly responded, "Okay, Sister Jiyue," and followed Sang Jiyue closely, walking towards Sang Shuwan's company with a proud stride.

Not long after they walked, the female assistant suddenly asked cautiously, "Sister Jiyue, what if we get there and Sang Shuwan refuses to admit defeat and wants to resist?"

Sang Jiuyue sneered, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, and said: "She dares? If she knows what's good for her, she will beg for mercy from me. Maybe I can still give her a chance to live for the sake of the past. If she still wants to resist, I will let the Sang family increase their efforts to uproot her company and make her disappear completely from the business world! I want to let her know that if she goes against me, she will die!"

The female assistant nodded quickly and said, "Sister Jiyue is right, she definitely wouldn't dare to do that. By then, she might even cry and beg you to let her go."

Sang Jiuyue raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a satisfied smile, and said, "Of course. I can't wait to see her pitiful appearance."

As they talked, they continued to walk forward. Sang Jiuyue's high heels made crisp sounds on the ground, as if it was the accompaniment of her proud mood at the moment.

When Sang Shuwan received the news and learned that the investor was the Sang family, she immediately guessed that it was Sang Jiuyue who was behind this. Her eyebrows were raised, her eyes were cold, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Alice, we won't do this project. We have to pay the penalty for breach of contract! We can afford it."

Alice's eyes widened, her face full of panic, and she blurted out: "Boss Sang, we have been preparing for this project for so long, and we have invested so many resources in the early stage. It would be a pity to give up. The penalty for breach of contract is an astronomical figure. This loss is really unbearable!"

Sang Shuwan clenched her fists and spoke word by word, "What do you know? The Sang family is behind this, and there's also that venomous snake Sang Jiuyue. This project was doomed to be a dead end from the beginning. If we continue, they will only gnaw us to the bone!" After she finished speaking, she took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and said in a deep voice, "Notify the partners, arrange a time to meet, and we'll settle this face to face."

Three days later, in the afternoon, the sun shone through the blinds of the conference room, casting mottled shadows on the ground. Sang Shuwan and Alice arrived early and waited quietly. After a while, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and the partner Mr. Zhang walked in with several executives, followed by Sang Jiuyue.

Sang Jiyue was wearing a red slim-fitting dress, a pair of high heels, and a dazzling diamond necklace around her neck. She swayed with every step, and her arrogance was overwhelming. She glanced around and her eyes fell on Sang Shuwan. She raised a mocking smile and said in a delicate voice: "Hey, isn't this the 'eldest lady' of the Sang family? How come you can't even keep a project now that you've left the protection of the Sang family?"

Sang Shuwan sat still, his eyes were cold as ice, his tone was calm but sharp: "Sang Jiuyue, you are too proud too early. I took the initiative to withdraw from this project, but I don't want to play this boring game with you."

Sang Jiuyue heard this as if she had heard a huge joke. She crossed her arms and laughed so hard that she fell forward and backward. "Haha, you quit voluntarily? To put it nicely, you quit. To put it bluntly, you are incompetent and have been forced into a desperate situation. Without the Sang family, you are a waste. Do you still want to gain a foothold in the business world?"

Sang Shuwan slowly stood up, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, and stared at Sang Jiuyue: "Whether I have the ability or not, you don't need to judge me here. Do you think you can prove yourself by relying on the Sang family to suppress me? In fact, you are just a clown, always living in the shadow of others."

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Mr. Zhang hurried out to smooth things over: "You two, stop arguing. Let's talk about the project. Ms. Sang, are you sure you want to withdraw? The penalty is quite high."

Sang Shuwan nodded slightly and looked at Mr. Zhang with a calm expression: "Mr. Zhang, I have made up my mind. Regarding the penalty for breach of contract, we will handle it according to the contract and our company will bear it. We were not thoughtful about this cooperation and brought trouble to your company. I am really sorry."

Sang Jiuyue refused to give in and snorted coldly, "Humph, why are you pretending to be magnanimous? You just can't afford to lose."

Sang Shuwan turned to look at Sang Jiuyue, her eyes were sharp and her words were sonorous: "Sang Jiuyue, I have noted down what happened today. Just wait, things will change, one day, I will make you pay for what you did today." After that, she picked up the documents on the table, strode out of the meeting room with Alice, leaving Sang Jiuyue standing there with a livid face.

Sang Shuwan and Sang Jiyue were at loggerheads in the conference room, and the atmosphere was tense. When Sang Shuwan resolutely decided to withdraw from the project and expressed his willingness to bear the penalty for breach of contract, Sang Jiyue could not believe her ears.

She originally thought that the game she and the Sang family had set up would force Sang Shuwan into a desperate situation and make her kneel down and beg for mercy, but she didn't expect Sang Shuwan to be so decisive and resolute.

Sang Jiuyue's face flushed red instantly, her eyes seemed to be spitting fire, staring at Sang Shuwan. She took a step forward, and her high heels stomped heavily on the ground, making a sharp sound, as if to pierce the floor. "You... you are simply unreasonable!" Sang Jiuyue shouted almost hysterically, her voice became sharp and piercing because of anger, "Do you think that you can cover up your incompetence by pretending to be cool like this? You are just relying on Alice to support you from behind. If you don't have Alice's support, you are nothing?"

Sang Shuwan paused when she heard this and slowly turned around. Her eyes were as cold as a thousand-year-old pond, without a trace of warmth, and shot straight at Sang Jiuyue. "Sang Jiuyue, stop talking nonsense here." Sang Shuwan's voice was low and powerful, and she said word by word, "Any decision I make is based on considerations for the company, and has nothing to do with others. But you, besides using the power of the Sang family to suppress me, what else can you do? Do you think you can show off your strength by doing this? In fact, you are just deceiving yourself."

Alice stood beside Sang Shuwan and couldn't help but speak at this moment. She straightened her back and looked directly into Sang Jiuyue's eyes without fear: "Sang Jiuyue, don't go too far. Ms. Sang is capable and responsible, and I am willing to follow her. And you only do these shameful little tricks behind her back, which is really despicable."

Sang Jiyue was so angry at Alice's words that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Alice, her lips trembling constantly, but she couldn't speak for a long time. Finally, she could only spit out a sentence viciously: "Just wait, today's matter is not over yet!"

Sang Shuwan chuckled disdainfully, "I'm at your service any time. But I advise you, if you have this free time, you might as well improve yourself and stop thinking about stepping on others to get to the top." After that, she ignored Sang Jiuyue and strode out of the meeting room with Alice, leaving Sang Jiuyue alone in the empty meeting room, furious.

After the meeting, Sang Shuwan's company seemed to be hit hard by a storm. The huge amount of liquidated damages was like a boulder, weighing heavily on the company's capital chain, causing the business machine that had been running smoothly to creak under the heavy load. The financial staff frowned all day long, sighing at the dense financial statements. Those shocking figures seemed to be the claws of the devil, dragging the company into a dark abyss. The clouds of sorrow and gloom enveloped every corner of the company, and the private conversations of the employees were also full of worry and anxiety.

At this time, Sang Jiuyue was like a butterfly flying freely among the flowers. She happily took the liquidated damages she had extracted from Sang Shuwan's company and rushed to the Sang family's old house. She sat in the brand new red Ferrari sports car, feeling extremely happy. She hummed a tuneless little song along the way, and her mind kept replaying the surprised expression of her father when he saw the money.

Finally, she hurriedly stepped into the spacious and luxurious living room of the Sang family. She saw the chairman of the Sang family sitting leisurely on the exquisitely carved solid wood chair, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, flipping through the latest issue of a financial magazine in his hand, and the crystal chandelier beside him cast a soft light, making the whole scene quiet and solemn.

Sang Jiuyue didn't care about the atmosphere at all. She jumped in front of her father in a few steps. The excitement on her face could light up the whole room. She shouted loudly, "Father, please take a good look at what I brought you!" As she spoke, she handed the document bag containing the liquidated damages and the carefully selected gift to her father with both hands as if offering treasures. In order to choose this gift, Sang Jiuyue took great pains. She visited all the high-end shopping malls in the city and picked and chose among many luxury goods. Finally, she chose a limited edition Swiss watch, thinking that her father would look more impressive in the mall with this watch.

"Father, we really won a great victory this time. It was a great victory! You don't know that Sang Shuwan's company was cornered by us, like an ant on a hot pot, and could only pay the penalty. All this money was earned by me with great effort." Sang Jiuyue said, while gesticulating with great joy, as if she was telling a thrilling legendary battle. "And this watch, I picked it specially for you, it is limited to the world, and I hope you will like it when you wear it. Look at the diamonds on the dial, how sparkling, how well it matches your status."

Chairman Sang put down the magazine in his hand and took the gift slowly, but his face instantly became as serious as it could be. He squinted slightly, and through the gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes were full of unfathomable depth. His eyebrows were tightly knitted together, forming a deep "川" character, and he stretched out his hand to gently stroke the gift in his hand. He was deliberately silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something important.

Finally, he slowly spoke, his voice deep and powerful, like a roar coming directly from his chest: "Jiyue, do you think this can really be considered a victory?"

Sang Jiuyue's originally smiling mouth froze, and the smile on her face disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if it was blown away by a gust of wind. Her face was full of confusion, her eyes were wide open, and she looked at her father in confusion, her mouth slightly opened, and she muttered softly: "Father, we caused Sang Shuwan's company to suffer such a huge loss, and we also received so much liquidated damages, how can this not be considered a win? I spent a lot of effort to get this done."

The chairman slowly stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly towards the window step by step. With his back to Sang Jiyue, his tone became more solemn, as if every word carried a thousand pounds of weight. "Jiyue, you are still too young to understand the complexity of the business world. The business world is like a battlefield, you know this, but temporary gains and losses don't mean anything at all. You used some means to force Sang Shuwan away this time. On the surface, it seems that you won this game, but in fact, you lost a bigger situation."

He paused for a moment, looking through the window at the high-rise buildings in the distance, as if thinking about the changes in the business world. "You have to understand that the most important thing in the business world is win-win cooperation and long-term development. In order to suppress Sang Shuwan, you have destroyed the potential relationship with your partners at all costs. Think about it, if those partners know that our Sang family will do anything to achieve their goals, will they still dare to cooperate with us sincerely? Moreover, if this matter gets out, the outside world will see the narrow-mindedness of the Sang family. The business image that our Sang family has worked so hard to establish has been destroyed by you. Although this penalty seems a lot, the lost reputation and future cooperation opportunities are not worth this amount of money."

Sang Jiuyue listened to her father's words, lowering her head lower and lower until it was almost buried in her chest. She bit her lips tightly, until they turned slightly white. She felt aggrieved and her eyes were slightly red. But she didn't dare to say anything. After all, she had always been an obedient daughter in front of her father.

However, the chairman was actually very happy. When he learned that Sang Jiuyue had successfully suppressed Sang Shuwan and brought back such a generous penalty, he was very satisfied with his daughter's ability. His superficial criticism was just a deliberate act by the shrewd man. He knew Sang Jiuyue's temperament too well and was afraid that she would become proud and complacent because of this success. He wanted her to become more calm and consider things more carefully.

After a while, the chairman turned around, his serious expression eased a little, and a hint of barely perceptible relief flashed in his eyes. He looked at Sang Jiuyue who lowered her head, and his tone became much softer: "Forget it, although the means this time were not appropriate, the result was not bad. Don't take it too seriously, I know you are doing this for the good of our Sang family. Think more about what you do in the future, consider things from a long-term perspective, and don't be so reckless and impulsive."

When Sang Jiuyue heard her father say this, she immediately raised her head, and her originally dim eyes instantly rekindled their light, like the twinkling stars in the night sky. She raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a big smile, and said happily: "Father, I understand, don't worry, I will definitely do better next time! I will never let you down again."

Seeing his daughter's confident look, the chairman nodded slightly, with a faint smile on his face. He thought silently in his heart that Sang Jiuyue was a gifted child with such high enthusiasm.
