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

Chapter 395 Zhang Yangwen Takes Over

Regarding the risks of the "Truth or Dare" campaign, Su Tianyan had already had the psychology and behavioral experts in his team study it countless times during the implementation of the "Frugal Parenting Plan."

As time goes on, the risk factor increases.

Later, Su Tianyan simply stopped the team from researching this thing and focused on raising his son first.

As for what Bai Zihua just mentioned, that's a story for another time.

Actually.

Besides demanding that Su Cheng be perfect in every aspect and meet the standards he set for his successor... Su Tianyan was also secretly running away from the situation.

He was quite resistant to being told the truth about letting Su Cheng take over the job.

Bai Zihua knew this very well.

Actually, it doesn't really matter whether it's Long Ruoli or not.

Old Su himself resisted the honesty of the situation, and what Long Ruoli did was simply taking advantage of this thought of Old Su's and catering to the fear hidden in his heart.

Su Tianyan was still trying to dissuade him one last time: "Old Zhang, you should think it over!"

"Brother Tianyan, I've thought it through and had the experts analyze it... there shouldn't be any major problems."

Zhang Lekang's frugal upbringing of Zhang Yangwen is completely different from Su Tianyan's frugal upbringing plan for Su Cheng.

The latter is more extreme and harder to turn back from.

The environment that Zhang Lekang provided for Zhang Yangwen's growth was quite good.

Compared to those laborers in county towns and families struggling on the poverty line, Zhang Lekang, a billionaire CEO, still provided his son with a "well-off" family.

At the very least, Zhang Yangwen never lacked food, clothing, or other necessities, and was provided with certain resources.

Objectively speaking.

The risks associated with Zhang Lekang's confession have always been kept within a controllable range.

Therefore, Zhang Lekang didn't have much of a psychological burden, and it was easier for him to make the decision to be honest.

Even if Yang Wen gets a little emotional at that time, it won't be too big.

They might not be able to accept it at first, but after about a week or a month, they will be grateful to him as their father in terms of wealth.

Besides gratitude, the son might also feel the same kind of luck as if he had won a billion-dollar lottery?
These are all acceptable to Zhang Lekang.

Simultaneously.

Zhang Lekang, on the other hand, started advising Lao Su to just end it quickly.

The longer it drags on, the greater the risk of backlash.

Su Tianyan remained silent for a few seconds.

No one knew what he was thinking.

It may be a matter of weighing the pros and cons.

It could also be a matter of considering the feasibility of confessing to Su Cheng.

Another possibility is that... your attention was not focused and you were daydreaming.

But in the end.

Su Tianyan did not express his opinion to Zhang Lekang and Bai Zihua who were present.

He simply agreed to Zhang Lekang's confession to his son.

Su Tianyan can control Su Cheng.

But if Zhang Lekang wanted to be honest, he couldn't stop him.

This is a matter between Zhang Lekang and his son Zhang Yangwen; he has no right to interfere.

What Su Tianyan has the authority to direct and control is how to ensure that his own line of work is not affected.

Because once Zhang Yangwen learns the truth, it will definitely affect his relationship with Su Cheng, as there is a strong connection between the two.

Although Su Tianyan agreed, he required Zhang Lekang to first develop a plan and scheme under his supervision.

Zhang Lekang readily agreed.

In this training program, Lao Su was the one in charge.

Joining is easy, but leaving is not so simple.

If he messes things up and messes up Lao Su's business, it won't be a small matter like "toothpaste".

That's why Zhang Lekang came to consult Su Tianyan today.

"Zihua."

"Go and invite everyone in the team over here."

"We must consider all possible scenarios and leave no room for error."

Bai Zihua accepted the order: "Yes, President Su."

"Old Zhang, why don't you stay here for the next few days and get the plan sorted out first?"

"Okay, thank you, Brother Tianyan."

"polite."

Within a few days.

Zhang Lekang did indeed stay at the same garden villa as Su Tianyan, and he, Bai Zihua, and a group of experts began to discuss and study how to play this confession game.

Zhang Lekang's health is already very poor, and he plans to transfer all power of Jin Hong Group to his son within three months.

First, the way you are honest is very important and requires a gradual approach.

Secondly, they need to investigate and determine how much of the truth they should reveal to Zhang Yangwen.

Which part tells the truth, and which part hides the truth?

Some things can be said or not said, so you can choose not to say them.

Finally, there are various emergency response plans.

For example, after Zhang Yangwen gains power, will he provide any assistance to Su Cheng in her career?

Will this assistance affect the Su family's succession plan?
All possible scenarios must be taken into account.

……

Vienna.

After finishing her half-day training course, Su Cheng returned to her hotel room.

Su Cheng had just finished showering and hadn't even had time to change her clothes when she saw two missed video calls on her phone.

Su Cheng called Zhang Yangwen back.

"Hey? Cheng-ge, are you busy?"

"I was just taking a shower. What's up?"

Zhang Yangwen hesitated on the other end of the phone: "Brother Cheng, there's something I can't decide on. I hope you can give me some advice."

"Just tell me if you need anything."

"It's like this, Brother Cheng... A company in Shanghai has offered me a very high-paying job and hopes I can come and work there..."

Su Cheng dried her hair with a towel while listening to Zhang Yangwen's introduction on the other end of the phone.

He subconsciously pressed Zhang Yangwen for the name of that company.

But Zhang Yangwen seemed a little embarrassed to say, "Uh, Jin Hong Group?"

Ok? !

Jin Hong Group?

Isn't that Zhang Yangwen's family business?

What's going on?
"Wait a minute, let's video chat."

Su Cheng hung up the phone, hurriedly grabbed a pair of pajama pants, and then called Zhang Yangwen back via video call.

"Hello? Can you see it?" Su Cheng urged, "Tell me carefully, tell me clearly."

In fact, even if you asked Zhang Yangwen, he couldn't give a clear explanation, because there was no cause and effect whatsoever.

A headhunter, posing as a customer, met with Zhang Yangwen in Australia. They didn't discuss business; the headhunter simply wanted to poach Zhang Yangwen for Jin Hong Group and offered him a job on the spot, hoping Zhang Yangwen would consider it.

"They also said that if I'm not satisfied with the conditions, we can discuss it, and I can make any other special requests to them."

Su Cheng could clearly see Zhang Yangwen's every move.

It's clear that he's conflicted and hesitant right now.

Jin Hong Group offered him a price he couldn't refuse.

"Then what do you mean?"

Instead of directly answering Su Cheng's question, Zhang Yangwen continued to elaborate on the conditions that were causing him concern:

"My dad just called me and said he has stage four prostate cancer. Even if the cancer cells are well controlled, he may only have a few years to live." Better benefits + higher job authority.

My father is seriously ill.

Zhang Yangwen really wants to return to Shanghai.

But he felt it would be better to inform Su Cheng in advance.

So he wanted Su Cheng to help him "make a decision".

Jin Hong Group's high-salary offer + Zhang Lekang's serious illness.

When Su Cheng heard this, she pretty much understood.

This is hardly a headhunting operation.

This means the Zhang family is going to let their young master Zhang take over the family business!
Su Chengqing understood that Zhang Yangwen asked him to give suggestions because he didn't want Zhang Yangwen to think that he had learned a lot at Dihao Group and then turned around and jumped ship to another place.

This goes against the spirit and principles of the group. Zhang Yangwen felt that he should be a corporate warrior, but now he has retreated and betrayed the Dihao Group.

Su Cheng naturally supported Zhang Yangwen's return to take over the business.

What he needs to do now is to tell Zhang Yangwen not to worry about these trivial factors and not to let them affect Young Master Zhang.

"Yangwen, don't overthink it."

Su Cheng brought up the time he joked with Jiang Shuyue on the island of Macau again.

“I was just joking with Manager Jiang back then. You decide your own life.”

"Don't feel morally guilty. I'm telling you, you didn't see it. These past two days I've been taking classes with those islanders, and damn it, they're constantly chanting 'loyalty'..."

Su Cheng also told Zhang Yangwen about the interesting things that happened to him in Vienna.

"Huh? Cheng-ge, aren't you in the country?"

"No... I'm in Austria. Headquarters transferred me here for further studies."

"Oh, I see..."

"Okay, so you can just submit your resignation now."

"Is it really okay?"

"What's the big deal? Your dad has terminal cancer. Why don't you spend more time with him these next few years?"

During the video call, Su Cheng didn't even dare to mention that she had just fought a battle with Jin Hong Group over the toothpaste industry.

Bringing up this matter now might make Zhang Yangwen even more hesitant.

He already wanted to switch jobs but couldn't because of his moral issues. If Su Cheng brought this up, Zhang Yangwen would most likely think he had defected to the enemy.

The situation will become even more unsightly then.

Su Cheng encouraged Zhang Yangwen to resign boldly, saying that he didn't need to have any loyalty to the Dihao Group.

Zhang Yangwen was not originally a member of the Emperor Group, nor had he truly entered the Emperor Group system.

First, he was promoted to a permanent position much faster than others. After that, he handled major cases and received bonuses and dividends. Then, he followed Su Cheng to Macau. Almost all the cases he participated in were led by Su Cheng.

He can be considered the number one speedrunner.

From the moment Su Cheng met Zhang Yangwen, she knew his true identity and also predicted that Xiao Zhang might take over the business before her.

I just didn't expect it to be in the form of Old Zhang being diagnosed with cancer.

However, in Su Cheng's memory, it seems that Old Zhang will not die for several years, right?
So they're letting Young Master Zhang take over so early?
But it makes sense.

If it is late-stage cancer, the patient's health will deteriorate in old age, and active treatment is necessary to slow the progression of the disease.

Su Cheng subconsciously projected the power relationship model between Qianlong and Jiaqing, and between the old man and himself, onto Zhang Lekang and Zhang Yangwen.

This is actually wrong.

Look at that guy's dad!
Knowing that he was no longer capable, he arranged for his son to take over the business ahead of schedule.

In Su Cheng's memory, Zhang Yangwen took over the position even earlier than in her previous life.

Anyway.

After waiting for so long, Zhang Yangwen's side has finally made a breakthrough.

Jin Hong Group is, after all, a super-large factory.

With the help of Zhang Yangwen and Jin Hong Group in the future, it will be much easier for me to obtain solid evidence against Lao Deng or to cultivate my own strength.

Su Cheng naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

Zhang Yangwen already had a clear idea in his mind. Su Cheng acted as a catalyst this time, helping Zhang Yangwen find a way out and making it easier for him to make up his mind to leave Dihao and return to his position as the heir of Jinhong Group.

"Okay, Cheng-ge, when are you going back to Shanghai? I'll treat you and Qin-ge to dinner then."

"It'll be soon, I'll be back in a week."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone.

Su Cheng couldn't help but jump up from the sofa.

He is so excited!
If Young Master Zhang is about to take over, how far behind can I be?

With the help of the super-large Jin Hong Group, I have made significant progress.

If Zhang Lekang wants Zhang Yangwen to withdraw from the poverty alleviation plan, then he must have already obtained the old man's permission.

and so.

Su Cheng was thinking.

What is that old man doing right now?
Are you busy figuring out how to be honest with Zhang Yangwen?
Su Cheng was certain that Zhang Yangwen would not know that he was also a trainee of the "poor upbringing" program, nor could he know about his relationship with the Emperor Group.

But it's okay.

Ye Li is Chen Suna's mentor.

And he himself was Zhang Yangwen's mentor.

Whether in business or in life, Su Cheng taught Zhang Yangwen a lot and gave him a lot of help.

Especially considering that he single-handedly ventured into dangerous territory on the island of Macau, and ended up losing everything because of Zhang Yangwen's two million gambling debt.

If Young Master Zhang knew, wouldn't he be moved to death?

Once Young Master Zhang takes power, with the cooperation of the Jin Hong Group, it will be much easier for him to do whatever he wants.

Su Cheng could even leverage the power of the Jin Hong Group to assemble a massive galactic fleet and engage in a head-on battle with the old man in a specific field or product category.

From the moment they met, Su Cheng consciously cultivated and established a relationship with Zhang Yangwen, and his prestige in front of Zhang Yangwen had accumulated to a certain extent.

This means that Su Cheng can finally have a small taste of the fruits of victory.

“Brother Sheng has just given up all his honors and power in the group.”

"Now that Young Master Zhang has taken over, he can lend me a helping hand."

What good luck have I been having lately?

Old Zhang was very cautious.

He didn't choose to tell Zhang Yangwen the truth immediately, and Su Cheng guessed that they might be planning to gradually reveal everything to Xiao Zhang.

to be frank.

The "Frankness Session" is probably the most difficult hurdle to overcome in the "Frugal Parenting Plan".

The authoritative figure of the father can instantly transform from a "role model" and "strict teacher" into a "liar" and "manipulator".

The breakdown of this relationship is devastating.

When the truth is revealed, all the suffering we have endured in the past will be redefined.

It could even be defined as abuse.

Whether Zhang Yangwen would view Su Cheng that way is unknown, but it's highly unlikely... However, Su Cheng has already characterized her experience as abuse.

But it's alright.

"Little Zhang didn't suffer much hardship; he's a very well-off only child from the Yangtze River Delta region."

"The hardest thing this kid ever experienced was when McDonald's burgers and fries were sold out when he was a kid, right?"

"Their confession round should be easier, and both sides may get what they want."

For a time, Zhang Yangwen's dream was to become rich overnight!
He became a billionaire overnight.

"For Xiao Zhang, taking over Jin Hong Group might be a surprise and a pleasant surprise, and he might even be grateful for Lao Zhang's efforts."

This is beyond Su Cheng's control; it's Zhang Yangwen's own research topic.

but……

No problem!

The advantage is mine!
