I was forced to start the second round because I was raised in poverty

Chapter 296 We're Actually Relatives [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Long Ruoli frowned slightly.

What Su Cheng said doesn't seem to be a problem?
Never mind that for now, let's talk about serious matters with Su Cheng.

Long Ruoli sat up straight and looked at Su Cheng seriously: "Team Leader Su, do you know about the product 'Let Me Tell You'?"

"Yeah, I've heard a bit about it. It seems like they've made some pretty good changes. I've seen other colleagues using it," Su Cheng explained.

He knew right away that Long Ruoli wanted to talk about this.

Since Long Ruoli already knows how popular "I'll Tell You" is, then needless to say, the old man must know as well.

However, what Su Cheng didn't know was that it was Long Ruoli who informed her father about the "I'll Tell You" incident.

These past two days, he has been mainly thinking about what kind of mood he should have and what kind of attitude he should present.

In principle, Su Cheng bears no responsibility within the group, but in the old man's eyes, releasing "I Tell You" herself is a heinous crime.

Therefore, Su Cheng must feel guilty towards the group and the leaders for their trust, and be filled with deep remorse.

Otherwise, the old man won't be satisfied.

Perhaps the old man is watching him through a camera in the room, with a dozen behavioral psychology experts sitting behind him analyzing his micro-expressions.

Su Cheng immediately felt aggrieved: "President Long, this is my responsibility. I didn't come up with a solution, and someone else took advantage of the situation."

If it can be described as a "leak".

If one person can't see or think of it, and the entire group can't come up with a practical solution, then it's not really a loophole.

However, the old man had even stricter standards for Su Cheng.

Su Cheng's attitude surprised Long Ruoli.

This... Su Cheng actually took the initiative to admit that it was his responsibility?
Is Tianyan's frugality education really that powerful?

Or perhaps Su Cheng was just being polite?
Or perhaps... that thought that once crossed her mind.

Long Ruoli put herself in Su Cheng's shoes.

He had already identified the problems with "I'll Tell You" and had come up with the best solution: Su Cheng would sell it to her shell company for several million, and then implement the optimal solution to maximize profits.

As for the group, Su Cheng not only bears no responsibility, but actually deserves credit, because before "I Tell You" took off, Su Cheng's quote was higher than the standard, which earned the group more than two million.

The group bears no responsibility, and then made a fortune from "I Tell You," so it's no big deal for them to just say a few polite words to cover it up and take the blame upon themselves.

This logical chain is perfect; every single point is valid.

That afternoon, Long Ruoli found Wu Xiaotong alone and asked her about the matters concerning "I Tell You" before it was sold.

Wu Xiaotong clearly told her that Su Cheng actually had a deep understanding of "I Tell You".

He had already come up with a plan for catering to user needs and discussed it in detail with Wu Xiaotong.

If before today, Long Ruoli was only suspicious...

Based on her observation of Su Cheng's attitude today and the information she had gathered, she could basically confirm that Su Cheng was the mastermind behind the scenes!
Long Ruoli felt like she had been played!

If you had told me earlier that you were behind this, she would have kept it a secret for Su Cheng and not reported it to her superiors.

The key point is that whether she reports it or not, Brother Tianyan will know. The momentum of "I'll Tell You" is too exaggerated, and it's impossible for Brother Tianyan not to know.

If she interferes like this, and Su Cheng retaliates later, wouldn't she be the one to suffer?

Long Ruoli realized she had misjudged him.

She first met Su Cheng during the negotiation case for "Heart Signal".

At first, she thought that Su Cheng's decisive acceptance of the 1 million offer without even trying to negotiate was a bit weak, and that she shouldn't have used the business dominance built by the group so forcefully. She even told Lao Su that it wouldn't work.

Long Ruoli suddenly came to her senses.

The show "Heart Signal" is related to Su Cheng.

"I'll Tell You" is also related to Su Cheng.

have to say.

This young master is quite powerful.

However, he had misjudged Su Cheng from the very beginning.

The key point is that Su Cheng hid it very well and didn't give anything away.

If she hadn't had the most information gap, people might still think that Su Cheng "missed the opportunity".

While her personality may not be perfect, Su Cheng's business acumen is undeniable.

Because only Tianyan and Su Cheng realized that "I'll Tell You" could be made.

As for Wu Xiaotong, she saw it but didn't have a concrete plan, so it was all for naught.

Su Cheng wasn't letting things slip; he had other plans.

They want to earn that money themselves.

What Long Ruoli found regrettable was that no matter how much Su Cheng planned, could he have imagined that she had been raised in poverty?
Is his own biological father the biggest boss behind the scenes of the Emperor Group?

He won big in many areas, but the only thing he lost was Tianyan's judgment, which was far more important than tens or hundreds of millions.

The Emperor Group has no shortage of money.

Su Cheng should behave well now, because once he inherits the Emperor Group, his biggest worry every day will probably be how to spend money.

However, his actions resulted in a much lower score from Tianyan Ge.

Su Cheng made money, but his consequence was being exiled to Australia.

Long Ruoli wasn't at the point of worrying about Su Cheng, so she couldn't possibly tell Su Cheng the whole truth.

but.

Su Cheng's current attitude and emotions are actually beneficial to her.

Because now she doesn't have to be the bad guy, and she doesn't have to say such harsh things.

If Brother Tianyan asks about it later, Long Ruoli can say that Xiaocheng was already very remorseful, so she didn't say anything harsh.

But I should still say a few words, nothing too serious or innocuous.

"Team Leader Su, I've always trusted you, but I never expected you to make such a big mistake this time."

Su Cheng started apologizing incessantly.

They started saying all sorts of things like "I'm sorry to President Long," "I'm sorry to the group," and "I've let the group down."

Uh-huh-huh.

Not bad.

That's how it is.

The more you say that, the less I need to say harsh words to you.

Long Ruoli was very satisfied. She got down to business with a slightly superior attitude: "Team Leader Su, since you have realized your mistake, I think I can give you another chance. I hope you can make the most of it."

Ok?
Su Cheng had initially breathed a sigh of relief, but upon hearing Long Ruoli's words, her heart suddenly tightened again.

The premise of the dialogue between the two sides is that the responsibility lies with Su Cheng, which is their "consensus".

"Our group has a consulting firm in the local area that's not doing very well right now, and we hope you can go there and mentor them."

ha?
place?

Dude, your choice of words is brimming with a sense of superiority!
The fact that he even used the word "local" made Su Cheng wonder if he was going to be exiled.
I only let one slip, the consequences shouldn't be that serious...

Su Cheng pressed further, "President Long, is this the group's decision, or yours?"

Long Ruoli became cautious when faced with this question.

She dared not say it was her own decision, so she gave an ambiguous answer: "It was the headquarters' decision, and it was also my decision."

“The group and I have discussed it, and we will temporarily adjust you to K10.”

"I can tell you privately that this is an internship-type K10 program. It depends on how well you perform after you go there. We won't mention to outsiders that you are a K10 student who is still under evaluation."

"If you do well, then we can remove the word 'internship' from your resume, and you'll be a true K10 student. You can then be transferred back to Jingzhou, or the group can arrange a new position for you."

Su Cheng: ???
"Mr. Long, do you mean to transfer me to another location?"

"Hmm." "Where?"

"Australia Island".

Australia?

"Then what about Shengyue's side? What about Group Seven?"

"I have my own arrangements. Wu Xiaotong will be promoted to deputy group leader and act as group leader. The relevant case files will also be distributed equally to other groups and other consulting companies under the group in Jingzhou."

Su Cheng appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, she had already figured things out.

He is currently at the K8 level in the group, and he has been promoted two levels at once to serve as the vice president of another consulting firm in Australia.

On the surface, it seems like you are upgrading yourself and giving yourself a chance to develop.

If you actually think you've been promoted, then you're a fool.

What kind of group would give someone such an opportunity to spout nonsense?

You don't even need to go to Sucheng, Australia to know that this is not a good place, and nothing good comes of it.

He knew what the old man was thinking.

He made a mistake, but the company still promoted him two levels. When he flew to Australia full of expectations, he found that all he got there were obstacles and pressures set up by the old guys.

At that time, Su Cheng's mood and motivation will plummet to rock bottom, and she will be filled with disappointment in life and career. She will then enter a state full of negative emotions and hone her skills under this pressure.

Su Cheng could already guess the old man's methods pretty accurately.

Grass!
The old man is a master at manipulating emotions.

Su Cheng had already seen through everything.

This is actually what they call 'a promotion in name only, but a demotion in reality, and being sent to a remote area'.

Long Ruoli had been carrying it here since she entered the room. Su Cheng didn't think it was Long Ruoli's intention, but Su Cheng wouldn't be understanding of her actions.

It's because she's in cahoots with that old man.

Su Cheng still needs to show that she is grateful to the group and Long Ruoli.

"Mr. Long, thank you so much!"

"I will definitely make a name for myself in Australia and live up to your and the group's trust in me!"

Long Ruoli nodded in satisfaction: "Mhm."

"Mr. Long, I'd like to ask, am I going alone?"

"Yes."

"Can I bring one person with me?"

"Uh, who do you want to bring?"

"Qin Fen".

Su Cheng thought about it and decided that it would be appropriate to bring Qin Fen along.

"That won't work; our group is also short-staffed."

???

Even if you marry your daughter off to the Xiongnu on the border, you should at least bring a few maids with you as part of her dowry.

You won't even give me Qin Fen?
Is that old man really that ruthless? He's really going to let him go alone?
Su Cheng then tried asking, "What about Zhang Yangwen?"

Ok……

Long Ruoli hesitated for a moment, feeling that it wasn't a good idea to let Su Cheng go alone.

She originally wanted to try to help Su Cheng by applying to headquarters, but that seemed too suspicious. Zhang Yangwen was just an intern; what was there to apply for if she took him to Macau?

Zhang Yangwen has a special identity; he is the young master of the Zhang family. If Brother Tianyan asks, Long Ruoli can explain that she wants the young master Zhang to go with Su Cheng for training. Their original idea was to have Zhang Yangwen follow Su Cheng.

So Long Ruoli took it upon herself to agree: "Okay, that's fine."

"By the way, Team Leader Su, have you heard any rumors circulating in the company lately?"

"Uh? About what?"

"Some people are saying that we are related."

Su Cheng: ???
Is this something to squeeze?

Wu Xiaotong said it was just a small-scale rumor, so how come even Long Ruoli herself knows about it?

Su Cheng pretended not to know: "No way, is it that outrageous?"

“Yes, it’s really outrageous.” Long Ruoli said with a strange smile. “Let me tell you, sometimes the more outrageous a rumor is, the more people will believe it.”

Su Cheng: ???
What does that smile mean?

Are you implying that we're actually related?
Excuse me.

can't read.

Even if you understand, I still won't acknowledge you.

"Mr. Long, should we issue a notice to clarify this? Or should we just pretend we don't know anything about it?"

"We should definitely pretend we don't know, otherwise it would seem too deliberate, and the more we try to explain, the worse it gets."

"Oh, that makes sense."

After a brief and polite conversation, Su Cheng left Long Ruoli's office.

That night.

Su Cheng then received a call from Lao Deng.

Old Deng first complained that Su Cheng hadn't called him in so long, then asked about Su Cheng's recent situation: "How are you? How's work?"

Su Cheng almost threw the phone down.

Don't you know how my job is doing?

Didn't you send me to Australia?

But Su Cheng couldn't get angry, so she could only honestly explain: "Recently, the company has made some changes to my work, and I may need to work in another city."

"Was it a promotion?"

Su Cheng: ???
Whether or not you get promoted is not up to you, is it?

And here you are, pretending to ask.

So speechless.

The old man's tone and eloquence surprised Su Cheng quite a bit.

They can still call him normally, so they probably haven't had a relapse yet, which fits Su Cheng's deduction.

"Did you get a raise?"

"Yes, I added just a little bit."

"Isn't that a good thing? How long will you be working out of town?"

"That's hard to say. It could take a few months, or it could take a year or six months?"

"Then your house in Jingzhou is now empty, you can let your cousin move in!"

“Your aunt mentioned it during the Chinese New Year, and she even came to talk to me about it later, saying that she had nowhere to stay and that the temporary place she found was too far from the company.”

“We’re all relatives, when do you think he should move his things over? You can lend a hand or something.”

Su Cheng: ???
No.

Are you kidding me?
When did I say I wanted my aunt's son to live with me?
Su Cheng couldn't hold back any longer and retorted, "Dad, what do you mean?"

"What does it matter to me whether my aunt's son has a place to live, where he lives, or how far he is from his company commute?"

"If I'm transferred to another city, I can find an agency to sublet it. It's all money anyway."
