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

Chapter 297 What's wrong with you? [Seeking monthly votes]

"We'll earn the money we're entitled to, and we won't earn the money we're not entitled to."

Su Cheng: ???
"What kind of money should be earned, and what kind shouldn't be earned?"

"We shouldn't have made this money."

Is this profitable?
“Oh, we’re all relatives, why are you being so petty? That’s how relatives are, we help each other out when something happens. If you help him, he’ll help you next time.”

Oh.

Help your mother!

You, as a father, don't support your own son, yet you expect your relatives to do so?
Su Cheng isn't short of money, but this isn't the way to do things.

Su Cheng's subletting was simply a way to recoup the value he hadn't fully utilized, because he paid the rent in real money, so ultimately it was his money, not "making money".

These are two concepts.

Su Cheng could sublet the apartment to Xue Yan for a discount of a few hundred or a thousand yuan, which could be considered as a favor to relatives. His aunt's family only needed to give him a few hundred yuan in face.

In the old man's mouth, it turned out that he was making money off his aunt's family.

Not only could he not "earn" this money, he also had to help Xue Yan move things, and he was exhausted.
Get lost!
Your son's job isn't tiring, is it?

Is sitting in an office with air conditioning a leisurely job where you don't have to do anything?

Don't even think about letting Su Cheng sell it at a 1% discount, or even letting them stay for free!

Seeing that his attitude was firm, Old Deng stopped talking about it: "Alright, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm going to talk to you about something serious."

Su Cheng: ???
Are we not going to talk about the house anymore?

So you just brought it up on purpose to annoy me?
Old people know how to put pressure on themselves.

Grass!
"whats the matter?"

“I recently went for a medical check-up, and the doctor said I might have some kind of illness.”

ha?
That's a good thing!
Su Cheng finally heard what she wanted to hear.

"Where did you get your checkup done? When did you get it done? It wasn't one of those free egg giveaways and free health checkups, was it?"

"Of course not. Just the day before yesterday, at our county hospital, your aunt used her connections to find me a place. Otherwise, why would I let you let someone stay here? You tell me, right?"

Didn't you share a bed with Long Ruoli the day before yesterday?
They slapped him so hard his face was left with marks.

She accompanied you to the checkup, right?
Su Cheng didn't pick up on the second part of the question, but instead asked, "What illness? Is it serious?"

"The diagnosis hasn't been made yet because the doctors can't make a judgment, but it's definitely a medical condition."

Ok?
Judging from Lao Deng's tone, Su Cheng felt that he already knew he had Alzheimer's disease.

However, Su Cheng couldn't make a judgment either, because it was highly possible that the old man wanted to use his illness to put pressure on himself.

"How about this, Dad? You buy a ticket and come to Jingzhou. I'll go with you to a big hospital in Jingzhou for a checkup."

"No need, that's too much of a waste of money. Just a few tests at a big hospital can cost several thousand or even tens of thousands!"

Su Cheng already knew what he wanted to say: "Don't waste money. Your son has money. What's wrong with spending tens of thousands? We can spend what we need to spend."

"Besides, my social security is complete, so you can use my relative's medical insurance."

Come on over.

Let me see how healthy you are and how long you have left to live.

"Oh, don't worry about me. Aren't you going out of town? You won't have time. Just focus on your work."

"What I want to tell you is that Dad's health is getting worse, so I'm thinking of making arrangements for your marriage as soon as possible."

“I bought you a big house in the city, and we used our savings to make the down payment.”

"You don't need to worry about the renovation. Dad knows people who can get it much cheaper. That's what our family does."

"Just transfer the mortgage payments to me every month, and I'll pay them for you."

"How many tens of thousands do you have right now? Transfer them to me first. I need to settle the final payment with the sales office. Dad will figure out the rest for you."

Su Cheng: ???
wcnm!

After all that setup, you still want to swindle money from me?

They use excuses like subletting or illness to ask for money, but in the end, they always use the pretext of buying a house to ask for more!

And they act all righteous and self-righteous, as if they've sacrificed so much.
"How much do you want?"

"Take as much as you can, Dad still has a lot to spare."

Su Cheng thought for a moment.

The old man should know that even though Wang Zhiying paid more than 90% of the "penalty interest" in the acquisition case of "Heart Signal", she still had a lot of savings.

With her year-end bonus, her salary from the past few months, and the quarterly dividends from Taihong Lighters, Su Cheng has money in hand.

"Okay, then transfer me 300,000 first. We'll talk about it later if it's not enough."

"Just transfer it back to that Agricultural Bank of China card for me."

"Let's not talk about your aunt's son's matter. What's the best way to deal with the rented house in Jingzhou? Let's get our money back and also subsidize some of it."

"Three hundred thousand?! Where would I get three hundred thousand?"

"How much can you transfer?"

"I can only transfer 100,000 to you at most. There's no bonus for this transfer, and my expenses in Macau will probably be quite high, so I need to keep some money in reserve."

You fucking know you can get some subsidies back!

"Okay, then I won't say anything more. I'll transfer the money to you now."

After hanging up the phone, Su Cheng transferred 100,000 yuan to her father's card.

Thankfully, tmd made "I Tell You" a success.

Otherwise, the old man will really drain us dry, bit by bit.

Su Cheng now works for the largest and most powerful super corporation on Blue Star, and has been promoted to K10.

I wouldn't say this achievement beats 99% of people, but it certainly beats 95% of people in the same age group.

K10.

How glamorous it looks!

But there wasn't a single penny left in the account; it was all gradually sent to support the family.

Even so, Su Cheng was still violating the group's principles by secretly investing in "Heart Signal" and making it a success through her own wisdom.

If it weren't for "I Tell You" gaining a foothold, Su Cheng would still be that poor working-class guy, probably unable to even afford a clean suit to maintain appearances.

……

The next morning.

Su Cheng called Zhang Yangwen and Qin Fen to her office.

"Brother Cheng, I just had something I wanted to talk to you about." Zhang Yangwen couldn't hide his excitement and joy. "President Long just told me that he's given me a permanent position."

Qin Fen's eyes widened in surprise: "Holy crap? Really? They got promoted ahead of schedule?!"

"Yeah, yeah! I was just thinking about whether I should give President Long a gift or something, what do you guys think?"

Su Cheng shook her head in denial.

Sending gifts is out of the question. This approach might work in other workplaces, but not at the Emperor Group.

Moreover.

What Long Ruoli wants is something Zhang Yangwen can't give her for the time being.

But then again.

Both Dihao Group and Jinhong Group are known as super-large manufacturers, but there are differences between super-large manufacturers.

Even if Zhang Yangwen takes over, he still can't afford to send him off.

"Don't bother sending anything. Mr. Long doesn't need anything. Our Emperor Hotel doesn't do this kind of thing."

"Oh, okay then."

"Don't be too happy yet. There's more to this than meets the eye.

Zhang Yangwen and Qin Fen both showed surprise at the same time: "Huh?"

"She probably didn't tell you that she was going to transfer you out."

"No..." Zhang Yangwen felt as if he had been doused with cold water when he heard that he was going to be transferred.

He had just settled into life in Jingzhou and his work environment at Shengyue, and had gotten along well with his colleagues. Was he really going to be transferred already?
Where am I to be transferred to?

“You’ll be transferred to Australia with me, and you’ll be my assistant. That’s why you were promoted to a permanent position ahead of schedule.”

Zhang Yangwen: ???

Qin Fen: ???
After Su Cheng's simple explanation, the two understood what was going on.

"Brother Cheng, do you mean you've been promoted to K10?"

"Well, it's more like an internship-style K10 program, not a real K10 program."

Qin Fen had never heard of a K10 program with an internship component. Isn't K10 just K10?
“You can also think of me as K10 right now,” Su Cheng added.

"I knew it!" Qin Fen's mind was a beat slow to react.

Wait.

K10?

Isn't Su Cheng now a K8?
Sister Li and Manager Deng are only K9!
Did Su Cheng skip K9 and go straight to K10?
The group has indeed had precedents of skipping ranks, but those were for exceptionally outstanding elites.

Also, those who come from talent-training academies like the Dihao Group Consulting Company are usually promoted one or two levels.

Can Qin Fen now interpret it this way: Su Cheng is about to "graduate" from Sheng Yue and has been sent out to handle affairs?
"Cheng-ge, are you being transferred too?"

"Yes."

"When?"

"The company has already booked the tickets for the flight the day after tomorrow morning."

"I'll hand over my responsibilities at the company today, and take care of some personal chores tomorrow."

"I also want to go to Australia with the two of you."

"You'd better not go. You'll regret it if you do."

"What's there to regret? Should I go talk to President Long?" Qin Fen turned to Zhang Yangwen, "Hey Yangwen, how was President Long's mood when she contacted you just now? Was she easy to talk to?"

"pretty good."

Qin Fen's question was interrupted by Su Cheng.

"Don't bother looking for her. I already asked her yesterday, and President Long doesn't agree to you going."

"Ah? Why?"

"They say that Shengyue is also short-handed."

"Oh, I see... then there's nothing we can do."

Qin Fen was a little disappointed.

In other words.

So, out of their original group of four, he's the only one left at Shengyue?

Sister Li is gone.

Now Su Cheng and Zhang Yangwen have also left.

"It's okay, I'll be back. I'll treat you to a big meal then."

Qin Fen could only force himself to shout, "Okay!"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't mimic us."

"hey-hey."

After Su Cheng handed over the work of Group Seven to Wu Xiaotong, the news spread quickly throughout Shengyue and became the subject of much discussion.

"No, Su Cheng is being transferred out?"

"K10, is it real?"

"It's true. I saw Su Cheng's new employee badge at HR this morning. It clearly says K10 on it."

"This... you skipped two grades!"

"Has Su Cheng 'graduated' from Sheng Yue?"

"It's hard to say, but this treatment feels like graduation."

"He's only been at Shengyue for a few years, a little over three years?"

"I remember his internship was only two years, and his full-time job was only a little over a year."

"Graduating this year? What about all these years I've endured?"

"Don't even mention how long you've been working. How about Manager Deng? He's been with Shengyue for over ten years and he's still a K9."

"Then what makes him qualified to skip grades?"

"Yeah, I don't understand! Even if you're the Player of the Year, you can't skip a grade, right?"

When people were discussing Su Cheng's skipped-grade graduation, it was mostly in connection with the recent "I Tell You" case.

"I'm Telling You" is not defined as a "leak" in principle, and the group will not hold Su Cheng and the other participants in Group Seven accountable.

But it's not exactly something to be proud of if this gets out.

This is especially true for people in the consulting industry.

From the perspective of industry insiders, it is indeed a dereliction of duty on their part to some extent.

These members of Group Seven felt a little embarrassed in front of the other groups.

As the leader of Group Seven, Su Cheng, being the boss, naturally had to take overall responsibility.

If the group members don't realize it, it's not a big deal, but if even the group leader doesn't realize it, then it's a problem.

In light of this case and Su Cheng's promotion, it's hard not to think about the issues they had discussed before.

That is, is Su Cheng actually related to Long Ruoli?

It is said that Long Ruoli's level is very high, even higher than that of the CEO of a typical consulting firm, and she has access to the core of the group's power.

Let alone giving Su Cheng a two-level jump, even giving her a three-level jump and appointing her as the future president of Shengyue (K12) would be perfectly acceptable.

Regardless of Su Cheng's achievements last year, his performance in the "I Tell You" case was indeed poor.

It's hard to say how Su Cheng was able to get promoted despite "making mistakes."

If you said there wasn't some kind of connection behind this, who would believe it?!

Even Wu Xiaotong, who didn't believe these rumors, started to have doubts. Was Su Cheng really related to President Long, as everyone said?
Wu Xiaotong was stunned when she handed over her work to Su Cheng today. She didn't expect to be promoted to deputy team leader so quickly.

Individual transfers and adjustments may occur after the overall personnel reshuffle is completed, but they are rare.

A replacement will only be brought in if there is a vacancy or if someone is genuinely unsuitable for the position.

Lin Lin, the deputy supervisor, found Wu Xiaotong and congratulated her on being promoted to deputy team leader.

Lin Lin originally recommended Wu Xiaotong as the deputy team leader to Su Cheng, but she didn't expect that Wu Xiaotong would be promoted in this way.

The people in Group 7 who were originally capable of handling things have all left.

First Ye Li left, and then Su Cheng was transferred out.

Whether it's the opportunity to advance or being promoted two levels in a row, these are things that ordinary colleagues cannot achieve.

These two are being treated too well.

"Xiaotong, we can't compare ourselves to others! It's just asking for trouble." Lin Lin joked with Wu Xiaotong in a strange tone.

“Look at us, we both got the positions that others didn’t want.”

Wu Xiaotong thought about it and realized it was true.

Lin Jie was able to become the deputy manager because Ye Li left, leaving the deputy manager position vacant.

She was able to become the deputy team leader because Su Cheng was leaving, and she was temporarily transferred to manage the team.

"Have you already met with Team Leader Su?"

"Yes, we've finished handing over our work."

Is he in his office right now?

"He should be here; it looks like he's packing something."

Lin Lin came down here not entirely for Wu Xiaotong, but mainly to greet Su Cheng and offer her congratulations: "Okay, then I'll go over there first."

"Okay, Sister Lin, you go first, we'll talk again tonight."
