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

Chapter 303 President Bai finally made his move!

Bai Zihua's initial guess was that Long Ruoli had tried to deliver the wine last time, so she changed her approach.

The wine was delivered to him through other people.

Since Bai Zihua has already seen the wine, he will definitely remember the relevant information.

Anyone who handles it will recognize that this bottle of wine is the same one that Long Ruoli gave him back then.

But now that he's associated with Zhang Yangwen, things are different.

How did Xiao Zhang get this bottle of wine?
You should know that Xiao Zhang's financial situation has been quite bad in recent months. He may have secretly taken a few bottles of Lao Zhang's stock when he went home for the Chinese New Year.
Given Lao Zhang's wealth and social status, collecting this kind of whisky would not be difficult.

But Bai Zihua felt that this was unlikely. Putting aside whether Xiao Zhang had a habit of "stealing," Lao Zhang had raised Xiao Zhang with his understanding of "raising him in poverty" from the beginning.

Even if the economic control is much better than that of President Su towards Xiao Cheng, it's impossible for him to show Xiao Zhang tens of millions of yuan worth of wine and spirits.

Bai Zihua ruled out this possibility.

So the wine still belongs to Long Ruoli.

If selling alcohol is related to Xiao Zhang, then after ruling out Lao Zhang, it must be inextricably linked to Xiao Cheng.

The key is.

How did Xiao Cheng get the wine from Long Ruoli?

Did Long Ruoli give it directly to Xiao Cheng?
If that's the case, then she's incredibly audacious.

A single bottle of wine starts at $2 million, and two bottles would be worth nearly $30 million.

Old Ma has already truthfully informed us that he spent $270 million on this bottle of wine, which is about 1900 million.

If it were placed in Europe or America, it might find a collector with old money, and the price would be higher.

If President Su finds out that Long Ruoli gave Xiao Cheng whiskey worth 30 to 40 million, Long Ruoli will definitely be punished.

No.

Bai Zihua thought he should call Long Ruoli.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ma, I need to make a phone call. Please wait a moment."

Led by the butler, Bai Zihua arrived at a private room, where he spoke with Long Ruoli for more than ten minutes.

During the phone call, Long Ruoli confessed that she had indeed given the wine to Su Cheng.

The reason given was also flimsy: "We gave it to the child because he wanted to drink it."

They didn't consider the possibility of their plan being exposed.

When Bai Zihua questioned Long Ruoli, Long Ruoli explained in detail the scene of delivering the wine.

She said it was a gift from a friend, and emphasized that she didn't know anything about wine, didn't know its value, and that she had received 10,000 yuan from Su Cheng, which was equivalent to selling it to Su Cheng.

Bai Zihua thought for a moment.

The conditions set by Long Ruoli were quite sufficient and seemed reasonable on the surface.

It's like Su Cheng got a bargain by spending 10,000 yuan from "Long Ruoli, who doesn't understand wine".

But President Su will definitely be furious when he finds out, and you, Long Ruoli, will not be able to escape responsibility.

After deducting the auction house's 10% service fee from the $2.7 million, you'll still have $17 million left.

Even if you launder the money, you'll still have 1500 million left.

This is just the price of one bottle.

Su Cheng still has one bottle in her hand.

Then the problem is coming.

Will Su Cheng transfer money to Long Ruoli?
Based on Bai Zihua's understanding of Xiao Cheng, he would definitely tell Long Ruoli the true price of the bottle of wine, because Xiao Cheng's character is kind and she would not embezzle the money.

However, if Su Cheng has other plans, then that's a different story.

There are valid arguments regarding whether or not to give it to Long Ruoli.

It's fine if you give it to me, but it doesn't matter if you don't.

No matter what Su Cheng does, Bai Zihua will allow it.

At the end of the call, Bai Zihua made it clear to Long Ruoli that Su should absolutely not find out about this.

Suppose Xiao Cheng tells Long Ruoli the truth, he will only allow Long Ruoli to accept a small portion.

If Xiao Cheng doesn't tell Long Ruoli how much the wine was auctioned for, he tells Long Ruoli not to ask at all.

Consider it pocket money for the child.

Bai Zihua didn't know whether Long Ruoli did this intentionally or not.

This behavior, to some extent, bound him to her.

If President Su finds out about this, neither of them will escape unscathed.

Long Ruoli is a woman with a very deep mind.

The more she acted this way, the more distrustful Bai Zihua became of her.

Why did Zhang Yangwen help Xiao Cheng sell alcohol instead of Xiao Cheng doing it himself?

Because he was afraid of leaving any records, he specifically found a front man and used a bridging account.

But upon closer inspection, that doesn't make sense.

If Su Cheng was simply afraid that Long Ruoli would find out and wanted to embezzle the money, there was absolutely no need to be so secretive.

So there is only one possibility.

Su Cheng was afraid that the Ministry of Internal Affairs would find out about the large amount of money flowing in his account and then investigate other issues related to him.

As for what the problem is?

This is where it connects to "I Tell You".

Based on the logical chain he has grasped, it can now be confirmed with 100% certainty that Xiao Cheng is the mastermind behind "I'll Tell You".

Thinking of this, Bai Zihua couldn't help but smile like an aunt.

Okay.

This kid is quite promising.

Whether it's selling alcohol or making "I Tell You," Bai Zihua won't tell President Su.

He watched this child grow up.

Besides him, there should be no one else who could understand the difficulties Su Cheng has faced since childhood so deeply.

Xiao Cheng has no problem making money.

Making "I Tell You" is, in effect, stealing from President Su and the assets of the Dihao Group.

However, Xiao Cheng had no idea that her father was the owner of the Dihao Group.

In other words, even after Mr. Su passes away, the Emperor Group will still belong to him.

Let's look at it from another angle.

The amount of assets lost by the Dihao Group each year due to the transfer of benefits is unknown; even if the entire internal affairs department were mobilized to investigate, the amount would still be unclear.

How much does a little book like "I Tell You" cost?

Moreover.

Bai Zihua believes that Xiao Cheng was also forced into this situation.

Xiao Cheng has faced enormous economic pressure since childhood, which can easily lead to psychological problems: she is terrified of being poor.

That's why they took the risk of being investigated by the Ministry of the Interior.

Even now, President Su still routinely controls Xiao Cheng's financial situation.

President Su is still using his parenting method of "no hardship in body, no rich salary; no hardship in mind, no wisdom."

Ultimately, it's President Su who bears more responsibility; no wonder it's Xiao Cheng's fault.

Bai Zihua made a second call, this time to the head of the Internal Affairs Department.

As soon as the call connected, Bai Zihua asked directly, "Where is Wei Qing's team now?"

The answer was: overseas.

Bai Zihua immediately guessed that Long Ruoli must have transferred Wei Qing to investigate the matter of "I Tell You".

He didn't know whether they found anything specific, but Bai Zihua wouldn't allow Long Ruoli to have any more information.

He originally wanted to transfer Wei Qing back to stop Wei Qing's investigation.

But Bai Zihua thought again that if he stopped Wei Qing's investigation now, Long Ruoli would definitely know that it was his order.

Forget it.

Let Longcha investigate.

Bai Zihua understands Wei Qing.

If even a more capable investigator than Wei Qing couldn't find it, then Wei Qing certainly couldn't find it either.

He couldn't leave things unsaid. They had already reached an agreement on the whiskey, but not on "I Tell You."

If Long Ruoli were to stop Wei Qing's investigation now, and then turn around and tell President Su that she had given an order to obstruct it, President Su would definitely think that he had some evidence in his hands.

As long as Long doesn't have evidence, even if he guesses that Xiao Cheng is the beneficiary behind "I'll Tell You," he won't have many cards to play proactively.

Bai Zihua returned to his room after hanging up the phone.

He politely accepted the whiskey that Ma Yingyao had given him.

Ma Yingyao was also very sensible and didn't ask any further questions about the details behind the scenes.

If Bai Zihua wanted to say something, he would have said it directly; if he didn't want to say something, you wouldn't get any information out of him even if you asked.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. There's something I need your help with, Mr. Ma."

"Mr. Bai, please feel free to ask if you need anything, and I will do my best to do it."

Bai Zihua revealed his true purpose in coming to the Ma family.

"I have a child here who needs your help."

Bai Zihua emphasized that the child needs the Ma family's care, but the child must not know that it is the Ma family or any other powerful force behind them that is taking care of him.

Ma Yingyao then had to ask, "Mr. Bai, may I ask who this child is?"

Bai Zihua concealed Su Cheng's true identity: "He is the youngest son of President Su's deceased cousin."

Bai Zihua's willingness to say this directly indicates that he has put in a great deal of effort behind the scenes.

No matter how hard the Ma family investigates, they will never find out that Su Tianyan is Su Cheng's biological father.

Bai Zihua has modified and hidden the relevant household registration information.

Ma Yingyao thought for a moment and said, "I understand, he's President Su's cousin, right?"

"Yes."

"no problem!"

Ma Yingyao had already quickly done the math in his head.

Su Tianyan's biological son is treated differently.

Being a nephew is a privilege.

Now that he's my cousin, he gets a different treatment.

Calling it currying favor is a bit of an exaggeration, but repairing relations with Su Tianyan and the Emperor Group has always been something he wanted to accomplish.

His historical mission in the Ma family has been completed, but if he can accomplish this one last thing before his death, his contribution to the Ma family will be enormous.

Therefore, Ma Yingyao still wanted to do everything he could to treat this cousin as if he were Su Tianyan's own son.

"Mr. Bai, how would you like us to take care of President Su's nephew? Please explain in detail."

Xiao Cheng's exile to Macau was not only a punishment, but also a new test posed by President Su.

Although President Su didn't say it explicitly, but only lost his temper, Bai Zihua still managed to glean the true message from his many years of close interaction with President Su.

Xiao Cheng needs to demonstrate a certain level of leadership in the high-pressure environment of Australia in order to satisfy President Su.

This is a task that Xiao Cheng must complete when taking over the Dihao Group.

Even though Xiao Cheng has excellent overall qualities, if he lacks leadership skills, President Su will still give him a big X.

Bai Zihua meant that Xiaocheng needed to demonstrate leadership skills with more weight than KPIs.

According to him, Xiao Cheng did not show any fear or negative emotions when she received the fax about the billion-dollar KPI business target.

He neither flinched nor complained or questioned the headquarters' orders, but calmly and rationally considered how to solve the problem.

In President Su's eyes, this is the quality a leader should possess, and Bai Zihua will definitely report it to President Su when he gets back.

As for the billion-dollar KPI business, that's not very important.

Although it's not important, it still needs to be done.

Therefore, the latter is the problem that the Ma family needs help solving.

Bai Zihua wants the Ma family to provide Xiao Cheng with as much case business as possible so that this KPI can be achieved as soon as possible.

The Ma family can directly provide business to Xiao Cheng, or they can act as intermediaries.

The only thing to be careful about is that you absolutely cannot reveal that they are helping you.

Not a single detail can be revealed.

Bai Zihua knew that if his actions reached President Su's ears, she would definitely think that he was colluding with the Ma family to harm Xiao Cheng.

“Mr. Ma, I need to emphasize this to you.”

"This child is a person with a strong sense of accomplishment, and he never accepts charity."

"Moreover, the child has a rather strained relationship with President Su and does not know President Su's true identity."

"You absolutely must not be exposed."

"Understand?"

Ma Yingyao nodded slowly but solemnly: "Understood! It's acting."

"You have to act very realistically, otherwise... you know what will happen."

"understand!"

Ma Yingyao was thinking, selecting the right person to complete this task.

That's one of the advantages of having a large family; you can send the right people to do the right things.

Ma Yingyao believes that the child his third son bore for him should be able to do this job very well.

He instructed the steward, "Go and fetch the third son for me."

soon.

A tall and handsome young man walked in.

The young man politely gestured to Ma Yingyao, "Father, you wanted to see me."

His behavior was very proper and respectful, unlike the kind of family hierarchy displayed by a famous director and his son on a variety show. Rather, it was a genuine respect for his father.

"Call someone."

Ma Ru leaned forward slightly and looked earnestly into Bai Zihua's eyes: "Uncle Bai."

Bai Zihua politely replied, "Mm."

Ma Yingyao then introduced Bai Zihua: "Mr. Bai, this is my youngest son. Do you think he's suitable for this task?"

Bai Zihua first asked Ma Ru a few questions, and she answered them all very well.

"Yes, Xiao Ma is perfect for you."

After gaining Bai Zihua's approval, Ma Yingyao told his son, "It's like this, Mario, Mr. Bai and I have something we need you to do."

The two explained to Ma Ru in detail the points that needed attention.

Do you understand?

"Yes, Father, I understand."

"Go and get ready first. Your Uncle Bai and I need to talk about something else."

"Ok."

Ma Ru quietly left the room, carefully closing the door behind him to avoid making any discordant or jarring noises.

"Mr. Bai, do you need our help with security?"

"No need for that. He's just a nobody. Nobody would want to hurt him."

"Ok."

Bai Zihua did not allow the Ma family to get involved in security matters, nor did he even tell them that Su Cheng needed security.

If he were to set up a security team for Su Cheng in a grand manner, it would make his identity as a "cousin" seem very fake.

Secondly, if someone else is in charge of security, wouldn't that be tantamount to handing Su Cheng's life over to someone else?

Furthermore.

One of the main forces we are guarding against is your Ma family, so how could we possibly put you in charge?

Bai Zihua had other plans regarding security.

Even if President Su doesn't care, he definitely will.

The most outstanding and loyal elites of the Dihao Group's field security department had already been secretly arranged by Bai Zihua to enter Australia as soon as Su Cheng landed.

Just to be on the safe side.

Bai Zihua will leave Macau tonight. He's going to the neighboring island to select several elite Flying Tigers teams to secretly go to Macau to cooperate with this security plan.
