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

Chapter 212 The Azalea Case
Group Seven is Deng Qiang's old base.

Ye Li, Su Cheng, Qin Fen, and Mu Xueping were all trained by him. When they received honors, he could also benefit from them, making his position as supervisor more secure.

So he selected the two best groups and the seven relatively good groups.

At this level, if Group 7 performs poorly, there's really nothing he can do.

This is like using connections to get in through back channels; you have the means, but you haven't even met the basic requirements.

Even a god couldn't save them.

If Deng Qiang puts a relatively incompetent team in charge, he certainly won't be able to win people's respect.

But if you pull in Group 7, even if it's your old team, no one will say anything.

Because Group 7 has solved many cases in the past period of time, and has been included in the classics twice.

The large team and the small team worked together to execute this case, and no one could find any fault with it.

This was Deng Qiang's personal motive.

Besides.

Deng Qiang still needs to maintain his ties with Su Cheng.

This case involves not only high compensation and bonuses, but also a high probability of being related to year-end performance and honors reviews.

Looking further ahead, it involves the review of deputy supervisors.

Deng Qiang was appointed as the temporary supervisor; we couldn't just remove him from his position as the permanent supervisor.

Therefore, the position of deputy manager became vacant.

Shengyue has a total of nine groups, and the group leader of each group is an outstanding talent.

However, to become a deputy manager, one must definitely win the most prestigious individual award.

This is the threshold for becoming a deputy manager; it's a step up.

The Du Juan case is just a stepping stone.

Having this honor does not guarantee that you will be promoted to deputy manager.

But without this honor, you definitely won't be able to become a deputy manager.

Therefore, Deng Qiang should also hand over the opportunity to receive this honor to Su Cheng.

This is the power of the supervisor.

The other seven groups were unable to participate in the Dujuan case, so the probability is much smaller.

Groups 2 and 7 participated in the case, and if they did a good job, their chances of success would be much higher.

The opportunity has been given; how well he performs and whether he wins an award are none of his business, and Su Cheng can't find fault with him.

"Do you have any other questions?"

"If not, I will have someone send the relevant information to your email later."

"Let's make some preparations today, and we'll move into Dujuan tonight."

"As for who will be the team leader and who will be the deputy team leader, you can discuss it yourselves and let me know when you get back."

Everyone said it was fine.

But Su Cheng raised her hand.

"Team Leader Su?"

"Um, Manager Deng, I have a question."

"You said."

"I would like to request that I not participate in the handling of Du Juan's case."

Ok?
Everyone present was stunned.

Such a good case, how come Su Cheng isn't involved?
If you don't participate, you won't get any dividends.

Even if you receive an honor, it's not tied to anything else.

Deng Qiang frowned: "What's the reason?"

"I have two cases that haven't been resolved yet, so I probably can't devote too much energy to them, so I'll stay out of it."

"Isn't it just one? The one on the social media app?"

Su Cheng also included Tang Li's coffee shop. Tang Li's place is still under renovation and hasn't opened yet. Given Tang Li's character, there's always the possibility of problems arising there.

Even if something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with Su Cheng; he bears no responsibility.

But right.

Su Cheng is now a shareholder in the coffee shop, so she has to keep an eye on things.

In fact, the group, or rather the parent company, had already considered this situation, which would distract employees' attention, time, and energy. That's why they were not allowed to hold shares or engage in investment activities.

But Su Cheng didn't care about any of that. Rules are rules, but Su Cheng didn't follow them.

"The preparation work for 'Heart Signal' is very intense, and there are many things to do. I also need to be responsible for the follow-up of subsequent cases."

Deng Qiang frowned.

He knew that the headquarters had just invested in "Heart Signal," so it was considered part of the group's business.

Su Cheng's reasons were compelling enough that Deng Qiang could not refuse.

But Deng Qiang still wanted Su Cheng to participate.

What can we say if Su Cheng doesn't participate?

How could he know whether Su Cheng was just being polite or making up an excuse for not having time?

"Since you are busy with cases and are the exclusive liaison officer assigned by headquarters, you will not participate in the handling of this case."

"Alright, Team Leader Su, you will serve as the examiner for this joint team. You will be responsible for supervising everyone's behavior and operations to ensure that they do not violate the group's employee regulations and guidelines, and for urging everyone to refrain from any violations."

Deng Qiang wanted Su Cheng to be involved.

The inspectors are also considered participants; they receive bonuses and honors.

You don't need to put in any real effort; you just need to pretend and slack off. You can still get a share of the money later.

To convince the people in Group 2, Deng Qiang even brought out the headquarters.

Su Cheng wasn't being polite, nor was he trying to make excuses for himself; he genuinely wanted to withdraw and not participate.

But since Deng Qiang has already put it this way, it would be inappropriate for Su Cheng to refuse.

So Su Cheng agreed that he would do a passive job in this case, without needing to conduct research or participate in decision-making.

……

……

The next morning.

A detached villa in Jingzhou.

"Mr. Su, the young master has transferred some money to you."

"Hmm? You finally remembered me?"

Su Tianyan had no idea that Su Cheng had transferred money to him last night.

Just as Su Cheng had imagined, he was still discussing physiological issues with his secretary at 11 p.m. last night. After finishing, he simply took a shower and went to sleep.

Normally, Su Tianyan doesn't use his bank card. He has a dedicated secretary who pays for his daily expenses using a Supreme Black Gold Card issued by a bank that has a deep cooperative relationship with the Emperor Group and in which the Emperor Group holds shares.

He only found out today when Bai Zihua reported to him that Su Cheng had transferred money to him.

Su Tianyan eagerly pressed, "How much money was transferred?"

Five hundred yuan.

"What?"

"five hundred?"

Su Tianyan frowned, muttering to himself, "What the hell is this?"

"How come it's only five hundred yuan?"

"Young Master left you a message asking you to buy clothes." Bai Zihua took out the text message he received on his old-fashioned mobile phone and showed it to Su Tianyan.

"I mean, why only five hundred?"

"Mr. Su, do you think it's too little?"

nonsense!

Of course he thought it wasn't enough.

Su Tianyan deduced that the brat's acquisition must have netted him at least tens of thousands of yuan.
This is to say the least.

Could it possibly be any less?
Su Cheng is such a useless person.

He actually spent 20 million, but Su Cheng only spent tens of thousands?

Any random K8 would eat more than Su Cheng.

But Su Tianyan didn't believe that Su Cheng had only taken tens of thousands of yuan. Even if it was tens of thousands of yuan, why would he only give him five hundred yuan?
Is this for sending away beggars?

He has given so much, is he only worth a few hundred dollars in his son's heart?

“President Su, I must remind you that your idea is based on the premise that the young master has confirmed accepting bribes, but we do not yet have sufficient evidence to prove it…” Bai Zihua had to explain to Su Tianyan.

It really is.

Su Tianyan currently has no evidence to prove that the brat accepted bribes.

But this isn't a courtroom; he doesn't need evidence.

Su Tianyan's six eyes are not just for show; what other evidence is needed?
He definitely accepted bribes!

"Is there anything else? Just this five hundred?" "Yes!" Bai Zihua quickly added, "Young Master also bought you an Android smartphone worth 2499 yuan."

"So, when you calculate it this way, the young master has actually spent 3000 yuan on you."

Su Tianyan's expression was strange.

Three thousand... that's not much!

He suddenly turned to one of the team's data clerks: "What do you want to say? Say it."

The data clerk looked a little flustered when Su Tianyan suddenly called on him.

The data clerk originally wanted to say that this phone could actually be purchased with a coupon, and the price after the discount should be 1996 yuan.

In other words, the money the young master spent on President Su was less than 2500 yuan, not the 3,000 yuan that Secretary Bai mentioned.

But then he remembered that recently an expert had mysteriously disappeared for two days and then resigned to go to Africa.

Even a layman could figure out that this was Bai Zihua's doing.

Just because he reported that the young master had bought snacks, he was exiled to Africa.

The data clerk didn't sympathize with him, because informers are disliked everywhere.

Su Tianyan hadn't even asked about this expert. He didn't know that someone was missing from the team, and he might not even remember this expert.

He certainly didn't want to be exiled to Africa by Bai Zihua!

Actually.

How could Bai Zihua not know that Su Cheng had used a coupon?

He stared intently at the data clerk.

"Reporting to President Su, I have nothing to say."

"Oh."

Su Tianyan ignored him and continued communicating with Bai Zihua: "Haven't you found out yet? How much money did he actually receive?"

Bai Zihua reported truthfully to Su Tianyan: "President Su, there is currently no suspicious fund flow information in any of the young master's accounts."

Su Tianyan didn't feel angry; instead, she thought Su Cheng was very clever.

Oh my!

This kid has even learned how to hide money.

It's probably to avoid censorship, right?

Otherwise, they wouldn't have resorted to hiding funds.

That just proves it even more; that brat must have taken a lot of bribes.

It would cost at least several hundred thousand.

Bai Zihua may not know Su Cheng, but how could his father not understand her?

Besides, Bai Zihua definitely knew; he just wanted to say a good word for the brat.

Su Tianyan wondered, what does he want to do with such a large sum of money?
We need to find a way to get it from him.

That brat is still young; it's easy for him to get into trouble if he carries so much money.

He wasn't worried that Su Cheng would become obsessed with women and go to spas every day.

That's a good thing, at least it proves that there's nothing wrong with my sexual orientation.

His main concern was that Su Cheng might make reckless investments and end up losing everything.

Giving advice to others and making investments yourself are two different things.

Think about it.

Su Tianyan couldn't come up with a good solution either.

Forget it.

Let's keep this kid in our hands for now.

At least let them warm it up first, and then you can find a way to get it back.

“President Su, we couldn’t find any suspicious fund flows, but we discovered that the young master made a transfer of 20,000 yuan to Young Master Zhang.”

"Huh? Didn't he invest all his money in mutual funds?"

"I probably didn't buy them all; I have some left over."

Su Tianyan felt instantly resentful.

You lend your colleague 20,000 yuan, and then spend 3,000 yuan of it on him?

Su Tianyan comforted himself.

Actually, three thousand yuan is not a small amount.

At least I bought myself a cell phone.

Although it's a mid-range Android phone.

But at least Su Cheng, as a son, thinks of his father, which is better than him being completely stingy.

If someone suddenly transfers tens of thousands of yuan to him, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will definitely investigate this kid.

That's plausible.

"In addition, Mr. Su... we also found that Mr. Zhang applied for an ICBC credit card with a limit of about 15,000 yuan."

"Should we contact General Manager Zhang first and inform him about this?"

Bai Zihua had previously handled Su Cheng's credit card application.

Credit cards are a double-edged sword, but they are clearly more harmful than beneficial.

If Zhang Yangwen starts this trend, he's likely doomed.

Su Tianyan tacitly agreed: "Go contact Zhang Lekang and tell him not to transfer money to his son."

This is a crucial moment.

If Zhang Yangwen can get through this, then he can move on to the next hurdle.

If you can't get through this... then you're finished.

"Okay, Mr. Su." Bai Zihua agreed, then fell into hesitation and entanglement.

Su Tianyan easily sensed that Bai Zihua seemed to have something to say: "Is there anything else?"

"Yes, Mr. Su, I'm wondering whether I should report this to you."

"about what?"

"About the young master."

"You said."

Su Tianyan didn't really want to pay attention to Zhang Yangwen.

Ultimately, Zhang Yangwen was merely a test case to prove the success of his educational philosophy, a way for him to show off in front of Zhang Lekang and this group of entrepreneurs.

but.

Su Tianyan would care about everything Su Cheng did, down to the smallest detail.

This is his son!

Nothing concerning his son is trivial; everything is a major issue!

Bai Zihua thought for a moment, and then introduced the recent relationship between Su Cheng and Ye Li.

It seems that Xiaocheng and Yeli have recently had a falling out.

"Ok?"

Su Tianyan felt a little puzzled.

He actually quite likes Ye Li.

From the beginning, he thought Ye Li was quite nice. Later, when the brat tried to burn charcoal, she even stepped forward to stop him and called the police.

It was purely coincidental that Ye Li and Su Cheng ended up working at the same company.

Through long-term observation, they found that Ye Li played a positive role in Su Cheng's life.

"How did he fall out with that person?"

Bai Zihua shared his and his team of experts' analysis.

The two have a conflict of values ​​and beliefs.

"President Su, Ye Li seems to know about some of the young master's irregularities in the acquisition of 'Heart Signal'."

"According to our analysis, she did not want the young master to violate the group's rules, which led to some conflict."

Su Tianyan lowered his eyes and brows.

Does this mean that the brat told Ye Li, and then Ye Li got angry with the brat?
"Yes, Mr. Su, the two haven't spoken for a week."

"Furthermore, according to our intelligence, the young master has launched this joint case, and it seems that he does not intend to help Ye Li fight this battle."

Ok?
To ignore it?
Su Tianyan wanted a son who was decisive and ruthless, capable of putting righteousness before family when necessary.

Only by cultivating this kind of thinking and behavior pattern can one be qualified to take over the Emperor Group and safeguard the vast family business he built from scratch.

In the adult world, relationships can end in an instant.

But this rule doesn't seem to apply to Brat and Ye Li.

"I'm very curious, what was he thinking?"
