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

Chapter 321 Adults can break up whenever they want.

After Tang Li returned to Jingzhou, and after Su Cheng finalized the general draft with Ma Ru and Ma Shuning, Su Cheng began preparations for the implementation of the plan.

However, at the same time, RK also needs to submit a document to the headquarters in accordance with the group's procedures and regulations, and go through a round of review.

However, this step is just a formality, like before. If there are no major flaws, it can be skipped. 99% of the time, the opinions of the people involved in the case will be taken into account.

However, RK's work efficiency did not disappoint Su Cheng. Su Cheng secretly estimated that RK's machine, when running at full power, could reach about 70% to 80% of Sheng Yue's usual work efficiency.

That's alright.

I can only say it is sufficient.

In Su Cheng's view, RK still has a lot of room for improvement.

However, some long-time employees don't think so. They feel that they have to risk their lives for the Ma family's case recently.

It involved collecting data from various industries, creating reports, and then verifying the data. I was incredibly busy.

Many people privately complain that work pressure has increased exponentially compared to before, and they no longer have time to go out for a stroll in the evening.

Every day when I get home, all I want to do is sleep. As soon as I open my eyes, I quickly wash up and go to work. My female colleagues can no longer even put on a full face of makeup; some just apply a BB cream.

There wasn't even time to enjoy a cup of coffee at noon.

The state of the two groups of colleagues can be described in four words: So tired! So annoyed!

In contrast to her old colleagues was the group led by Jiang Shuyue.

The group consisted entirely of new interns, all of whom were energetic and ambitious young people.

But there are also big problems. These newcomers have not been trained or experienced, and the biggest problem is that they don't know what to do.

Unclear business requirements and inaccurate tasks can leave them feeling helpless.

Su Cheng's instructions directly avoided this problem.

All instructions are clear: how to do it, to what step, and what reports to use to present the results.

Whether you need it or not is another matter, just do it.

The two groups were in completely different states.

The interns on that side were desperately trying to prove themselves.

The second group of elderly people were forced to follow their pace, putting themselves through half their lives every day.

Everyone knew that Su Cheng's aim was to address their laxity and lack of motivation.

But there's no need to curl it like that!

So tired!
Gu Jingyan then privately chatted with two of her girlfriends about company matters.

“I used to be able to stand in a long line at a dessert shop every day after get off work, but now I get annoyed just seeing a long line. If I want to eat something, I have to find a scalper to stand in line for me.”

"Huh? I've realized I've been eating a lot of sweets lately too."

"That's normal. When you're under too much stress, your brain needs sugar to keep it energized."

"My boyfriend has been asking me to have sex with him lately, but I really can't get excited about it at all."

“Well, I’m different from you in this respect. I want to do it every day, and my needs are much greater than before. My boyfriend can’t stand me anymore.”

"So what's this, finding an outlet for your frustrations?"

"Yeah, there has to be an opening, right? It's either x or something else. Eating too much oil and sugar mixture will make you fat, so why not do it?"

The two also asked about Gu Jingyan and Jiang Shuyue: "Hey Yan Yan, what's going on between you and Shuyue? I haven't seen you two talking lately?"

"They broke up, what else could it be?" Gu Jingyan subconsciously snorted when she said this.

However, it's not that she doesn't talk to Jiang Shuyue at all; she still maintains appearances and continues to have normal conversations, but she no longer opens up to her.

"Ah? Why?"

"What else could it be? She's practically become Su Cheng's dog. What are we waiting for if we don't break up with her?"

From their perspective, Gu Jingyan did nothing wrong.

Jiang Shuyue's group is now in competition with them.

If they don't perform well, and aren't as good as Jiang Shuyue's group, then they can expect to be eliminated.

Given this kind of relationship, it would be difficult for Gu Jingyan and Jiang Shuyue to remain good friends.

The workplace isn't like those "mutually admiring and respectable rivals" depicted in movies and TV shows; that doesn't exist here.

But it should be said or not.

Su Cheng's exploitation of them does indeed give them a chance to achieve the enormous KPIs set for them by headquarters.

It is said that the Ma family will invest 300 million yuan, which is already about one-third of the total.

Gu Jingyan immediately retorted after hearing this: "It's not one-third."

The headquarters is demanding a billion in profit, not a billion in business volume.

If we're talking about business volume, it must be at least several billion.

"What percentage did the Ma family give us again?"

"I remember it was 5%?"

"This dividend ratio is quite high; what if we make a fortune?"

Gu Jingyan rolled her eyes dismissively and pursed her lips into a straight line: "Don't even dream about it. Even if this business becomes profitable, it will take at least six months before we can recoup our costs."

"Hey, I heard the Ma family is going to give President Su five percent of the profits, is that true?"

This made Gu Jingyan even angrier.

Why should Su Cheng get 5% of the commission?

Even if you give RK 10% of the profits, and then Su Cheng takes half of that 10%, it's fine.

Su Cheng's profit sharing is separate from RK's profit sharing, which is a bit outrageous in terms of privilege.

“Just give it to him directly, you don’t need to share it with the group. Our company takes 10%, and the company still has to take half of that. Yan Yan, you know that.”

This is blatant inequality!
Gu Jingyan was very resentful.

Although Su Cheng was the chief planner of this investment plan, he didn't give anyone else the opportunity to plan or design it.

They never even held a proper discussion meeting; it was completely Su Cheng's one-man show.

Everyone was exhausted, but Su Cheng enjoyed the greatest fruits of victory.

He ate more cake than the entire Emperor Group.

Gu Jingyan then said that she had previously asked them to unite and fight against the enemy together with her.

The consequence of not resisting is the encroachment on the interests of these people, and we can only endure it.

"What are your thoughts now? If you agree, I can plan something and report this to headquarters." Gu Jingyan still harbored a desire to cause trouble.

But the two sisters were still very resistant.

They are all too aware of the risks and consequences of confronting their direct superiors.

"Forget it, Yan Yan. His plan is indeed good. The Ma family only signed the contract with us because of President Su."

"Just bear with it a little longer, Yan Yan. You'll only be busy for a short while. Things will be less busy after these few days."

not busy?

Gu Jingyan felt that they were oversimplifying things.

This level of busyness will become the norm in the future, and it won't just be busy when there are cases to handle.

To Gu Jingyan's surprise, even after all this, they were still unwilling to stand up and be with her.

They're not united at all!
No wonder they're so busy every day that they don't even have time to do anything.

Live it!

Now that the first team is working themselves to the bone every day, the second team has to work themselves to the bone too.

Gu Jingyan had long known things would turn out this way.

"It's not that we're afraid, Yan Yan, but you know how valuable these positions at the Emperor Group are, right?"

"Yan Yan, what I mean is that going against him won't do us any good, and we won't win either. At most, it will just result in mutual destruction. He's K10, you know!" In mainland China, Gu Jingyan alone can't make much of a splash.

But it's a different story in Australia.

With Su Cheng's management style, she wins every lawsuit she files.

But if Gu Jingyan were to file a lawsuit, she wouldn't be able to stay at RK anymore, so she thought of joining forces with others, since there's a lot of people involved.

"Ke Yan Yan, that's the problem. What if we all get kicked out?"

"Yes, Yan Yan, you saw how popular our recruitment event was the other day. The company corridors were almost overflowing with people. Wasn't that just for show?"

Seeing that the two of them weren't interested, Gu Jingyan stopped trying to persuade them.

This frightened them, so what else could she do?
No prospects!
……

RK Vice President's Office.

Zhang Yangwen came in during his lunch break and told Su Cheng some good news.

"Brother Cheng, I have good news for you. I asked Ma Shuning out, and she agreed."

Zhang Yangwen was able to obtain Ma Shuning's contact information because Su Cheng was on the ship at the time and passed it on to him under the guise of being her assistant.

Su Cheng was quite surprised to hear this: "What reason did you use to ask me out?"

"I just said there were some minor details that needed to be considered, so she agreed to meet with me to discuss them."

Ok?
Normally, Ma Shuning wouldn't care about these small details and would let Su Cheng decide for herself.

Su Cheng found this interesting: "Did you ask her out under the guise of work?"

“Uh…” Zhang Yangwen hesitated for a moment, “To be precise, I made the appointment in your name, Brother Cheng.”

Since Ma Shuning has agreed, Zhang Yangwen might still have a chance?
"Sure, but we should still be careful."

"Brother Cheng, why don't you come with me? I'm a little nervous."

“Go by yourself. This is your time alone. Why are you dragging me along? I don’t have any details to discuss with her.”

It just so happens that they've been in Australia for a month now, and Zhang Yangwen has plenty of funds on hand, so it's definitely worth a try to arrange a meeting.

"However, you should still plan within your means. She has plenty of money and nothing to lack, so don't think you can just spend all your money at once to save face."

Su Cheng reminded Zhang Yangwen that since others have eaten and seen everything, he should just behave normally.

Don't be too proactive. Show your elegance and try to attract Ma Shuning rather than pursue her.

"Brother Cheng, I understand!"

"Give me a report when you get back tonight."

"it is good!"

"Tell me if you don't have enough money, and I'll transfer it to you as soon as I see it. We can't lose face no matter what."

Zhang Yangwen nodded solemnly. He understood what Su Cheng meant; he couldn't let himself be called a little rascal.

Su Cheng granted his company a special vehicle.

"Brother Cheng, forget about the bus, this is actually for my private use."

"Okay, I was just worried you wouldn't have a car."

"It's okay, I'll just take a taxi."

Mid-afternoon.

Su Cheng's phone rang, and he saw that it was the old man making a voice call.

This old guy is quite meticulous; he knew Su Cheng was currently in Australia and couldn't be reached by phone, so he directly called via WeChat voice message.

Su Cheng had a bad feeling; the old man calling at this time couldn't be anything good.

As expected, the call went as planned.

The old man's first question was about money, saying he needed to pay the mortgage and that he needed to build a lot of cabinets in the house.

What the fuck.

It's as if they knew today was RK's payday.

The money had barely arrived in my account when the old man called.

Su Cheng guessed that the call from Lao Deng was never good news, so he was always apprehensive when answering Lao Deng's calls.

However, Su Cheng wanted to test whether the old man knew that he had received a 'windfall'.

"Dad, how much does it cost over there?"

"The mortgage is 6,500, and then you transfer me another 30,000. I need to calculate the cost of materials and labor for someone."

"Can I transfer you 20,000 first? I don't have that much money on hand."

After Su Cheng finished speaking, she waited quietly for Lao Deng's reaction.

If he calmly agrees, it means he was unaware of the situation.

If Harden flies into a rage and starts yelling on the phone, it means he already knows.

"Okay, okay, 20,000 is fine too. Just transfer it to me first, and I'll borrow some more from somewhere else."

borrow?
Where are you going to borrow it?

Su Cheng already knew the old man's tricks.

People like this like to play tricks and tell others how much they've put in, but in reality, they've put in very little or nothing at all.

Conversely, they also like to boast about how much they lost, when in reality they only lost a little or nothing at all.

However, Su Cheng was certain of at least one thing: Old Deng was unaware that he had sold a bottle of wine for several million.

If the old man had known he had so much money in his hands, he wouldn't have acted this way.

Su Cheng pretended to dawdle for a moment before saying she would transfer the money to the old man's bank card.

"By the way, Xiaocheng, how's work? Is everything going smoothly in Macau?"

ha?
You only remembered to ask about my job after you'd taken the money?

Get sick!
The old man's voice sounds quite healthy; he seems very energetic and vibrant.

He doesn't look like someone in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease at all.

Row.

Go ahead and torment me.

"It's okay, Dad. Everything's fine here. You don't need to worry about me."

"Oh, that's good."

The old man didn't talk to Su Cheng much; he hung up the phone after getting the money.

Su Cheng stared at her phone's call log, feeling confused.

This old thing.

Holy crap!

Just as Su Cheng was feeling down, Jiang Shuyue knocked on the door and came in.

"Team Leader Jiang, is there something you need?"

"Uh, it's nothing." Jiang Shuyue finally mustered up the courage to ask, "What I wanted to say was... Mr. Su, are you free tonight? A new restaurant has opened in the old town."

“I made an appointment a couple of days ago, but the friend I made an appointment with can’t come, but I don’t want to waste the opportunity to come alone.”

Ok?
Another individual invitation?
The friend Jiang Shuyue mentioned was actually Gu Jingyan.

After the groups were assigned, her relationship with Gu Jingyan gradually plummeted to its lowest point.

Although they appear to be getting along well on the surface, they no longer open up to each other or share their true feelings; they simply treat each other as ordinary colleagues.

"So...Mr. Su, would you like to go and try it together?"
