The male supporting character was actually myself.

I have received the latest news that in just three hours, the prices of various basic building materials have risen by at least 5%, and the prices are still soaring!

Our agreement with Wanli clearly states that the supply price will be based on the market price. As long as building material prices rise, we can make an extra 30% or more profit on the materials in our warehouse!

Upon hearing this, Su Li's eyes lit up with excitement. "This is truly heaven's help!"

Haha, it's time for me, Su Li, to take off!

"With prices continuing to soar, we can enter the market with less building materials. Less pressure, more cash flow, and even bigger profit margins—if we can earn 1.3 billion, my next plan can be realized even faster!"

While they were overjoyed at the soaring prices of basic building materials, Jiang Chen also received the news immediately.

"Oh no, oh no, why did the price suddenly skyrocket so much?" Little White nervously rubbed its paws, and seeing its calm host, it couldn't help but ask, "The first batch of building materials should be arriving in three days, right?"

What if the price still hasn't come down by then...?

Jiang Chen sipped his tea leisurely, clicked the mouse to view the drawings that the designer had rushed out based on his plans and descriptions, and said in a light tone, "You didn't read the script properly again, did you?"

Without considering any unforeseen circumstances, the plot will definitely arrange for the price to skyrocket to an unprecedented high on the day of supply, in order to help Su Li turn her life around.

The first batch of building materials worth 1 billion yuan will be half the usual price. How else would the protagonist make money?

Once I've poured a lot of money into buying building materials, the prices will suddenly drop to their lowest point.

That way, I can lose everything, get angry and lose my mind, and try to argue with Su Li to break the contract, which will then give him leverage to bring me down.

To protect me, Old Chu and his wife will hand over the entire project to Su Li.

A year later, the Yujincheng project I designed was unveiled under Su Li's name, and it made hundreds of billions of yuan from selling houses; it won all kinds of design awards.

How's the plot? It fits the protagonist's plot perfectly, doesn't it?

Xiao Bai was so angry that her eyes darted around, and she lay on the sofa with her legs spread out. "Why should I?"

The main system is going too far!

Don't male supporting characters have any rights? Why should all their hard work be wasted on the protagonist?!

"Of course it's because of the protagonist's halo." Jiang Chen poked its soft, round, white belly with his hand. "Alright, don't be angry. Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate."

Little White lay there, wagging its tail twice, and said in a tearful voice, "Leave it to fate? The script is our fate!"

This is it, we're doomed...

Jiang Chen smiled faintly and continued to look through the blueprints, saying softly, "Yes, it's almost finished."

Chapter Twenty-Three: A Mess

"Crackling and popping..."

A series of crisp and melodious firecrackers exploded amidst the rising white smoke, and red debris covered the ground, indicating that today was a good day.

After a series of intensive preparations before construction began, the Yujincheng Community officially started construction on the day of Lixia (the beginning of summer)!

As the person in charge of the project, Jiang Chen was naturally dressed in a handsome haute couture suit, going through the process with a mix of nervousness, busyness, and happiness.

This mission world places great importance on groundbreaking ceremonies, with various rituals and ceremonies alone taking several hours.

A designated person had arranged the time in advance. After a series of ceremonies and celebrations, everyone had a meal together. They waited for the auspicious hour to arrive, when the building materials trucks adorned with large red flowers entered the venue in an orderly fashion. Jiang Chen and a group of distinguished guests then went on stage to cut the ribbon.

The Yujincheng project can now officially and fully commence!

The temporary venue was festive, lively, and cheerful, with smiles on everyone's faces.

The most eye-catching thing in the venue was the project design model, which attracted many people to stop and watch, including the invited city leaders.

"Distinguished leaders and guests, please allow me to introduce the Yujincheng project, which was personally designed and planned by our General Manager Xiao Chu."

First, from an aerial view, the entire Yujin City appears circular, with a winding river running through it, dividing it into two parts.

Four six-lane main streets run east-west and north-south, making transportation convenient…

A specially trained female salesperson stood in front of the model, earnestly explaining Jiang Chen's "design" of Yujincheng to the onlookers.

"Such a large project was designed entirely by the Chu family children themselves?"

"That kid is studying management at Jincheng University, right? When did he start doing design?"

"According to the famous designer Mr. Xing, it was indeed designed by himself. The original plans and design drawings were all hand-drawn. The ideas were good, but they were not professional. It was Mr. Xing who helped to improve them."

"He's a talented and thoughtful kid, not bad at all!"

"I looked at it carefully, and the plan is beautiful, practical, and grand. Whether it's a villa or a high-rise, the unit sizes are all designed very reasonably."

Even the landscaping in the community is unique, exquisite, and meticulously crafted!

……

City leaders and business executives alike praised it highly.

Some people have already started taking photos and posting them on social media; the various media outlets that were invited were not there for nothing, they had already taken a lot of photos with their cameras and were also mentally preparing to promote the event so as not to waste the generous red envelope from CEO Chu.

Xiao Bai lay on a landscape model in the middle of the sand table, praising with a smile: "Host, this move is exactly what I wanted."

That's how it should be!

I will spread the word far and wide, announcing to the world that Yujin City was designed by my host!

Even if Su Li takes the project from us in the future, we can't let him impersonate us and shamelessly claim that it was his design!

Surrounded by a group of people celebrating, Jiang Chen couldn't say a word, but she gave it an approving look from afar.

………………

"Ring ring!"

"Ring ring..."

The constant ringing of telephones echoed throughout Zhongli Building Materials Company, and everyone was as busy as ants on a hot plate.

Unlike the bustling atmosphere at the Yujincheng project venue, Su Li's company was in complete chaos!

"Mr. Su, Wanli called again and said our transport trucks should be arriving in three hours. He asked if we've loaded the trucks and tied on the red flowers..."

The frantic assistant rushed into the office, anxiously saying, "The transport truck was washed clean early this morning, and the big red flowers are ready too."

Our stock of building materials has already been loaded onto the trucks, but they insist that the trucks carrying steel bars should enter the site first, even though those steel bars haven't arrived yet..."

Su Li impatiently slammed the folder in her hand and shouted, "Send someone to urge them!"

What's going on at Tiangong No. 2 Factory?

Didn't we already keep a close eye on all the inventory, enough for our first batch of deliveries?

Why is it still not done after so long!

Who is in charge of this area?

"He can't even handle this small matter, deduct his bonus and salary!"

"I asked, and it turns out that Manager Tian, ​​who is specifically in charge of the Yujincheng project, is responsible for liaising with Tiangong No. 2 Factory."

But he said he told you the day before yesterday that they wanted you to speak to President Su..."

Before the assistant could finish speaking, Su Li threw the pen in her hand at him, saying, "Greet me! A mere manager like you dares to put on airs and act like you're above everyone else!"

Why didn't Su Ziqing ask the old man for permission when she moved inventory?

"Whenever I need to move inventory, he starts making such a fuss!"

Caught off guard, the assistant was suddenly hit, black ink from a fountain pen splashed all over his face. He wiped it away with his hand, remained silent for a few seconds to suppress his anger, and then gently advised, "Now is not the time to assign blame."

The city leaders are all at Yujincheng;

The CEOs of major companies that the Chu family can invite are also present; we can't afford to let them down at this crucial moment.

Contact General Manager Su immediately and ask him to help allocate building materials.

Whether you deduct wages or fire someone, you can do whatever you want after the first batch of building materials arrives.

For real estate developers, today's groundbreaking ceremony is of utmost importance. If we miss the auspicious time and delay the construction period, Wanli can directly sue us for breach of contract!

Imagine the consequences of making a mistake in front of city leaders! Call General Manager Su right away, there's still time!

"If I could get through, I would have called already!" Su Li snapped irritably. "His phone is off, I don't even know where he is!"

The assistant remained silent for a few seconds, then turned and left.

Five minutes later, the assistant, who had washed her face, came in again. "I asked around, and President Su is having a meeting at the Su Group headquarters."

There's still time for your interview.

Su Li stared at him for two seconds, then took out a wad of cash from her wallet and tossed it at him, saying, "Go buy yourself some new clothes."

The office door slammed shut, and Su Li hurriedly drove to the Su Group. The assistant clutched the banknotes thrown into his arms, his expression shifting. After a moment, he straightened his clothes, left the general manager's office, returned to his workstation, and opened a document to write his resignation letter.

"Assistant Li, I received your resignation letter. What happened? Are you unhappy at work?" Su Ziqing came out of the conference room and made a soft-spoken phone call.

After listening patiently for a moment, she still spoke in a gentle voice: "Although Su Li has taken you to Chongli, your personnel file is still with me."

Assistant Li, I understand how you feel.

This is just a job, after all; there's no need to sacrifice my dignity. But if I were to transfer you back now, Su Li might think I'm targeting him.

I understand that you are an excellent assistant. You are very thoughtful and comprehensive, which is why you submitted your resignation instead of requesting a transfer.

Here's what I'll do: I'll call a friend, and you can seamlessly start working for him right now. After things settle down with Su Li, you're welcome to come back anytime.

I will double your salary and bonus this month;

At the same time, I'll tell my friends that their salary and benefits will be no less than mine, and that the calculation will start today.

I was helpless because I couldn't keep you at the time.

This is the only way to make amends now. Don't worry, no one will dare to make things difficult for you or target you for this.

"Please wait a few minutes, I'll send you the new work address in a bit."

Su Ziqing hung up the phone, a bright smile spreading across her face.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Oh wow, this is going to be interesting!

"Oh? This is a pleasant surprise." Jiang Chen was quite surprised when he received the call. "I'm short-staffed here, so have him come start work right away. Salary and benefits are negotiable!"

He put down his phone and, with a broad smile, found his busy secretary. "Your senior, Li, will be coming directly to the venue to take on his new job in a little while."
