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

Chapter 396 The Golden Rainbow Prince

Two weeks later.

After finishing her studies in Vienna, Su Cheng did not linger or rest, but returned directly to Shanghai.

In those last few days, Su Cheng was already feeling restless and couldn't wait to return to China.

The day after ending the call with Zhang Yangwen, Zhang Yangwen submitted his resignation to the group and flew to Shanghai.

In other words, Zhang Yangwen has been back in Shanghai for half a month.

After landing.

Su Cheng immediately messaged Zhang Yangwen to say that he had returned to China.

Before even leaving the airport, Zhang Yangwen replied, saying he would host a welcome dinner for Su Cheng that evening.

He also emphasized to Su Cheng that Qin Fen and Ye Li should be invited so that the four of them could have a meal together.

Su Cheng had a strong premonition at this moment.

Old Zhang should have already confessed to Zhang Yangwen by now.

It's unclear exactly when Su Cheng confessed, but Zhang Yangwen should already know the inside story that he is the heir of the Jin Hong Group.

However, Zhang Yangwen remained calm and did not directly inform Su Cheng.

They didn't even discuss Zhang Yangwen's departure from the group and his return to Shanghai in the small group chat.

It's worth noting that Zhang Yangwen is second only to Qin Fen in their small group when it comes to sending messages in the group chat.

That night.

Su Cheng, Zhang Yangwen, Qin Fen, and Ye Li gathered at a restaurant.

This isn't a noisy hot pot restaurant, but rather a more private VIP room, which is different from the usual style of their small group dining out.

All signs pointed to Su Cheng that tonight's event was not just a simple welcome party for him.

It's highly likely that Zhang Yangwen will tell the three of them this fact.

Su Cheng was in a very good mood.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

So during the meal, Su Cheng talked to the three of them about what he had seen and heard in Austria.

This includes things related to the Ninth Research Institute and the things the professors taught in class.

Qin Fen was a little envious of Su Cheng for being assigned abroad by the company: "Brother Cheng, you must have learned a lot this time, right?"

"It's nothing special. I already knew a lot of the things the professor talked about, and I've seen all the case studies in the database. He just gave us a systematic and structured explanation."

After Su Cheng finished talking, the three of them shifted the topic to Zhang Yangwen.

Ye Li's first question was: "Xiao Zhang, when exactly are you going back to Shanghai? You didn't even tell us beforehand."

Qin Fen chimed in, "Exactly! Can't we just have some fun?"

Zhang Yangwen awkwardly explained, "This... I forgot, I've been quite busy lately."

Qin Fen pressed further, "What are you busy with?"

"There are some complicated things going on at home."

"Oh, okay." Qin Fen didn't press further after hearing this. "I have something to tell you. Brother Cheng and Sister Li are dating."

Zhang Yangwen was very surprised: "Huh?"

He looked at Su Cheng and Ye Li and found that neither of them denied it.

So is that true?
Zhang Yangwen forced a smile in response.

Su Cheng frowned slightly.

He noticed a slight change in Zhang Yangwen's emotions at that moment.

Ye Li inquired about Zhang Yangwen's personnel transfer: "Oh, by the way, Xiao Zhang, which company did the group transfer you to? It shouldn't be YH, right?"

“It’s definitely not YH. If it were YH, I would have known long ago.” Qin Fen answered for Zhang Yangwen before he could. “But it doesn’t matter if it’s not YH. Our group has plenty of good companies.”

Zhang Yangwen did not respond to Qin Fen, but calmly answered Ye Li's question: "It's not the Emperor Group."

It wasn't just a calm tone.

Zhang Yangwen's expression and demeanor were also quite calm.

He was a little nervous just now, but he was very calm after he actually said it, which shows that he had already prepared himself mentally.

These words surprised both Ye Li and Qin Fen.

"Not the Emperor Group?"

"Have you resigned, Xiao Zhang?"

"He left the group?"

Qin Fen and Ye Li were both shocked, and their eyes showed surprise at the same time.

This is the Geely Group!

It is a world-leading super giant, with top-level strength in all aspects.

Being selected to work at the Geely Group is a very honorable thing; countless people would do anything to get into the Geely Group.

It's unbelievable that someone would voluntarily leave the group?

Is there any better company in the world than Geely Group?

The other companies, though also referred to as super-large manufacturers, are much smaller than the Geely Group.

There is only one true super-large manufacturer, and that is Geely Group.

Moreover, they all came from the group's inner circle, so there's no way they would voluntarily leave the group.

Unless it's one of those UNV subsidiaries that was invested in by the group halfway through its development.

The two first looked at Zhang Yangwen, then turned to look at Su Cheng, trying to observe Su Cheng's views and stance on the matter.

What surprised Ye Li and Qin Fen even more was that Su Cheng didn't react at all; he remained calm.

It seems Su Cheng already knew about this.

“Jin Hong Group offered me a job. I had already called Brother Cheng to ask for his opinion, and he thought I could go.”

Qin Fen: ???
Jin Hong Group?

But they just had a fight with the Jin Hong Group!

Oh my god.

Qin Fen couldn't understand what the current situation was.

Judging from their joint team's plans, they will have to fight against the Jin Hong Group with UNV next.

Doesn't that mean they'll become Zhang Yangwen's enemy and rival from now on?
When Zhang Yangwen heard Qin Fen express his doubts, he also looked at Su Cheng with a puzzled expression.

Ok?
Yh just fought a battle with the Jin Hong Group?

At this moment, Zhang Yangwen also began to have doubts.

Given this background and circumstances, how could Su Cheng possibly agree to let him go to Jin Hong Group?
In that case, Su Cheng's advice to him was quite objective, purely for the sake of his career and family life.

Su Cheng then spoke up to explain to Qin Fen and Ye Li on Zhang Yangwen's behalf: "Xiao Zhang's father has been diagnosed with cancer, and he wants to go back to Shanghai to take care of his father."

It turned out to be like this...

Ye Li and Qin Fen both expressed their understanding.

"Xiao Zhang, which department are you in at Jin Hong Group?" Qin Fen finally accepted Zhang Yangwen's decision to switch jobs. "So, are we going to meet on the battlefield from now on?"

"It's possible."

Zhang Yangwen's Adam's apple bobbed, and he took a deep breath, as if he were doing some kind of mental preparation for himself.

Su Cheng's expectations were rising.

Coming?

"Actually, I returned to Shanghai half a month ago."

"My father told me on the fourth day after I returned that he was actually the chairman of Jin Hong Group and the de facto leader behind the scenes."

Listening to Zhang Yangwen's narration.

Ye Li and Qin Fen were so surprised they couldn't close their mouths.

On the contrary, Su Cheng's lips unconsciously curled up a few degrees. "Wait, my brain hasn't processed this yet, Xiao Zhang, what did you say? You mean you're the heir of the Jin Hong Group?"

Zhang Yangwen readily admitted to it: "Yes."

Inside the private room, emotions and temperature fluctuated several times.

Ye Li and Qin Fen were both silently calculating the balance in their minds; they needed to reassess their future interactions.

Or, should they adopt a new way of getting along?
The heir of the Jin Hong Group.

This is this...

Even Ye Li found it difficult to accept this fact for a while.

Ye Li even secretly pinched her thigh to make sure she wasn't too tired from work lately and had entered a long period of light sleep.

Light sleep is most prone to these kinds of illogical, chaotic dreams that have no connection to reality.

The last time Ye Li saw Zhang Yangwen was when he was K6, who had just been promoted to a full-time position.

But after a few months, Zhang Yangwen suddenly became the heir of the Jin Hong Group.

He went from a high-level employee to a financial tycoon in an instant.

Eh.

pain.

Holy crap, this is real!

What Zhang Yangwen said was even more illogical than the strange dreams Ye Li had.

Su Cheng had already figured it out.

Zhang Yangwen had already overcome his initial conflicting feelings and had accepted his new identity as the "crown prince".

This was within Su Cheng's expectations.

Because Zhang Yangwen's experience was not as painful as my own, it was easy for me to accept.

Looking back, what challenges did Zhang Yangwen face?
Su Cheng thought about it carefully and realized there wasn't really anything wrong with it.

It seems that Lao Zhang just pretended to be bankrupt, took all of Zhang Yangwen's pocket money, and stopped giving him his allowance.

Especially after the incident in Australia, Zhang Yangwen incurred two million yuan in debt, which must have been incredibly desperate.

However, Su Cheng stepped in and solved this problem for him.

Whether it's "family bankruptcy" or "personal debt".

Throughout the entire process, Zhang Yangwen faced only one challenge: economic issues.

One of the biggest advantages of inheriting the Jin Hong Group is that Zhang Yangwen will no longer have to worry about money.

He no longer needs to keep any kind of journal, nor does he need to compare prices when buying things, nor does he need to deliberately downgrade the items he originally wanted to buy and then deposit the money he saved into his "savings account".

Although Jin Hong Group is not as large as Dihao Group, it is still a global leader in the daily necessities sector.

These fortified cities could provide Zhang Yangwen with unimaginable economic security in a continuous stream.

Zhang Yangwen will never have to worry about money again for a single second in his life.

This matter will be completely erased from Zhang Yangwen's life.

And indeed, things turned out exactly as Su Cheng had predicted.

In the days immediately following the discovery of the truth, Zhang Yangwen was in a daze, and it took him several days to gradually recover.

Zhang Yangwen, with a completely new identity and perspective, looked back on his life of more than 20 years.

He realized that he was actually doing pretty well.

If I had been born the heir to the Jin Hong Group, I would probably be ten times more arrogant and domineering than I am now, becoming a classic spoiled brat in movies and TV dramas.

It's not impossible for someone to turn to crime.

He has nothing to do all day except eat, drink, and have fun, because he has enormous wealth and doesn't need to worry about anything.

Zhang Yangwen doesn't like that version of herself.

It's different now.

Zhang Yangwen's values ​​are now very mature, especially his personal values.

He could understand his father's original intention, and he was also sincerely grateful to his father for raising and nurturing him over the years.

Zhang Yangwen was particularly moved by the effort he put into educating himself.

Zhang Yangwen also thought of other things.

Ma Shuning.

Actually, he and Ma Shuning should be a good match in terms of social status.

The Ma family has been deeply rooted in the local area for many years and should be considered a powerful force in Macau.

The Emperor Group's business spans the globe, operating worldwide.

Although smaller than the Emperor Group, it is still recognized by the business community as a super-large enterprise.

If Ma Shuning had known his true identity, she would definitely have treated him differently back then.

It's not impossible for someone to go to great lengths to pursue their own goals.

Instead of setting a trap for him and making himself owe them two million.

but.

Zhang Yangwen doesn't actually feel any regret.

What's the point of getting Ma Shuning in this way?

What people are interested in is not him as a person, but the Jin Hong Group behind him.

uninteresting.

Followed by.

Zhang Yangwen looked up at Su Cheng and stared directly into Su Cheng's eyes: "Brother Cheng."

Did you know my true identity from the very beginning?

Su Cheng picked up the glass of orange juice, and after taking only a small sip, he choked and coughed repeatedly upon hearing Zhang Yangwen's question.

This was Zhang Yangwen's real purpose in inviting Su Cheng, Qin Fen, and Ye Li to dinner.

He wasn't there to welcome Su Cheng back, nor was he reuniting with his clique; he simply wanted to ask the questions he wanted to ask.

Seeing this, Ye Li patted Su Cheng's back to help him relieve the pain.

Zhang Yangwen's expression remained unchanged as he awaited Su Cheng's reply.

After recovering, Su Cheng immediately retorted, "What did you say?"

This time, Zhang Yangwen didn't repeat himself like he had when answering Qin Fen; he was sure Su Cheng had heard him clearly.

Su Cheng appeared calm on the surface, but inside she was already panicking.

Qin Fen had not yet grasped the situation.

Zhang Yangwen's posture was clearly a questioning of Su Cheng.

Qin Fen, however, interpreted it as Zhang Yangwen joking with Su Cheng, so he joined in the teasing, saying, "That's not right, Xiao Zhang. If you don't even know, how would Brother Cheng know?"

But Ye Li had already figured out the situation.

She remained silent, looking directly into Su Cheng's eyes.

What Su Cheng really wanted to know was why Zhang Yangwen would ask such a question?

Zhang Yangwen was definitely not joking.

The fact that Zhang Yangwen could ask such a question means that he must know something, or rather, have heard something.

At this moment, Su Cheng still had to try her best to appear casual.

He adjusted his expression and understanding of the situation to emulate Qin Fen's level, and even laughed heartily: "That's right."

"If I had known earlier that you were the heir of the Jin Hong Group, I would have done nothing but hang out with you every day and become your best buddy."

"Why would I need to put up with that kind of treatment at the Emperor Group?"

"When you take over, you'll definitely give me a position in Jin Hong Group, which will be much better than what I'm in now!"
