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

Chapter 233 The old man panicked!
Su Tianyan hadn't thought about this in detail before.

As the old saying goes, if you have rice in your hand, you won't have trouble calling for chickens.

Su Tianyan is not just rich, he has so much money that he couldn't spend it all even if he spent all his money at home.

But these are just appetizers.

Su Tianyan's economic foundation and the business scope and global scale of the Dihao Group gave him the power to manage social relationships and networks.

in other words.

Su Tianyan possesses an extremely strong ability to mobilize social resources; he can accomplish many things that money cannot buy.

Even within their circle of wealthy entrepreneurs, this kind of power is extraordinary.

This is why Su Tianyan is so fearless about it.

If Su Cheng passes his trial, he will be able to inherit countless riches, as well as a portion of the favors he can inherit.

Su Tianyan's idea was that after Su Cheng took office, he would spend ten years taking him to get to know the entrepreneurs he had connections with, which would be equivalent to handing over the IOUs for those favors to Su Cheng.

All these favors, taken together, are of considerable value even compared to the massive, frantically operating business machine that is the Emperor Group.

Any favor can be given to an ordinary person to achieve upward social mobility, rising from the bottom to the top – a feat achieved through hardship.

but.

Bai Zihua's words made Su Tianyan feel an unprecedented sense of tension.

He's right.

By using these methods to gradually educate and guide the brat into becoming a heartless and ruthless person, it is a double-edged sword.

Su Tianyan's original intention was to prevent Su Cheng from being influenced by emotions, which would lead to a decline in her judgment, and to always think like a cold machine.

Correspondingly, this must also include a weakening of the fatherly affection shown to him.

If Su Cheng knew about the 'successor plan', would she feel resentful about his actions over the past few decades and thus seek revenge?
Ye Li's case is a good example.

Ye Li even agreed with Su Cheng's approach to some extent.

Su Cheng still showed some leniency when designing these plans.

This time it's about dealing with my best friend's parents.

What if Su Cheng's next target is his own father?
Su Tianyan has already anticipated several scenarios.

First, the father and son turned against each other, with the son refusing to inherit the Emperor Group.

Secondly, Su Cheng successfully inherited the Emperor Group, but their relationship plummeted to a freezing point, maintaining only a superficial father-son relationship.

Third, they concealed and deceived Su Tianyan, the retired leader, and gradually kicked him out of the game. After breaking his wings and limbs, they began to take revenge and torment him for the rest of their lives.

Su Tianyan felt that the first scenario was unlikely; who wouldn't want real money?

The second or third scenario is something Su Tianyan doesn't want to see.

Su Tianyan still hopes to maintain a good father-son relationship with Su Cheng.

If it's the second scenario, then Su Cheng most likely won't go with him to get to know those entrepreneurs, and she won't be able to repay the favors she owes them.

This is similar to how Su Tianyan would give gifts and monetary contributions to these entrepreneurs when they held their weddings.

But when it came to his son Su Cheng's wedding, he should have been able to reap a huge fortune, but Su Cheng took the initiative to refuse them entry.

Imagine those entrepreneurs seeing this display at his home; they'd be so happy they wouldn't be able to sleep for nights on end, knowing they wouldn't have to repay any favors they owed.

As for the third scenario, that's the worst-case scenario.

Bai Zihua's words just now were also alluding to this situation.

Su Tianyan glanced at the cigar in his hand, the red wine on the table, and then thought of Secretary Liu, who would be serving him that night…

Su Tianyan wanted his son to be decisive and ruthless, but he didn't want his son to be so decisive and ruthless.

As a son, you certainly can't be decisive in killing your father!

They definitely excluded him.

The Geely Group business machine has indeed found a qualified successor.

But you, as the successor, can't hang the founder from a street lamp!

People in Su Tianyan's circle are basically aware of his plan to raise a child in poverty, and he often explains to them the achievements and merits that Su Cheng has made in his successor plan.

At the beginning, Su Tianyan would often boast to them about the progress of the plan.

Later on, they began to actively inquire about Su Tianyan's progress and achievements.

Now, more and more entrepreneurs are thinking about raising their sons frugally.

Some of their eldest and second sons were clearly not up to par, and they all wanted to start from scratch, following Su Tianyan's model, to cultivate their own qualified successors.

Even more extreme cases involve sending semi-scrap items to him for training; Zhang Yangwen is a prime example.

If they knew that the son they raised had hung himself on a street lamp... all the achievements he had made, the brilliant battles he had fought at different times, and the legends he had left behind would eventually be treated as a huge joke.

Everyone sighed: Su Tianyan, who was once so powerful and arrogant, ended up like this.

No!

This situation must be prevented.

We must take this seriously now!
Regarding this issue.

Su Tianyan instructed his team of experts to come up with a solution immediately.

Soon, one of the strategists had an idea.

“Mr. Su, it’s Mrs. Su’s death anniversary in a few days. Young Master will definitely be going home to pay his respects. We can make good use of this time.”

Ok?
Su Tianyan immediately became interested upon hearing this and asked the expert to explain the idea in detail.

After listening to it, Su Tianyan felt that it was highly feasible.

However, it violated one of his principles.

That means he should never involve his deceased wife in anything.

Su Tianyan's feelings for Su Cheng's mother are pure and innocent.

Su Cheng's mother is Su Tianyan's eternal white moonlight.

Normally, satisfying physiological needs is one thing.

The fact that Su Tianyan hasn't remarried all these years says it all.

There is a saying that goes well.

Having a stepmother is equivalent to having a stepfather.

The fact that Su Tianyan didn't find a stepmother for Su Cheng, but instead raised his son himself, further demonstrates his deep affection for Su Cheng and Su Cheng's mother!

Su Tianyan's only concern was this.

He didn't want to involve this relationship and feelings.

But it seems there's no better way right now.

Su Tianyan hesitated for a long time.

He ultimately agreed to proceed with and implement the plan.

"Mr. Su, this matter requires preparation. You may need to return to your hometown soon to get things in order," the expert advised.

"Hmm," Su Tianyan responded listlessly.

Immediately afterwards, Su Tianyan gave the order: "Prepare a plane for me. I'll be going back tonight."

……

……

Ye Li had already severed all ties with her parents in her heart, cutting off all relations and contact.

She told Ye Haijun and Liu Wenhua that she had been assigned to do odd jobs at a mailroom in the remote Gansu region.

In fact, she never left the Fourth Ring Road.

Ye Li has moved out of the hotel these past few days and is staying in another bedroom in Su Cheng's house, hiding away like this.

The events of the past few days disgusted Ye Li.

Ye Haijun sublet the house he had rented, earning about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan in rent after deducting agency fees.

After receiving the money, I promptly bought a ticket and went back to my hometown.

But she loathed this practice and really wanted to wash away the last bit of blood she could suck.

Ye Li had to avoid getting caught up in emotional turmoil.

She told herself that this was the last payment anyway, and she wouldn't contact them again.

Let them take advantage of the last bit of benefit they can.

never mind.

Besides the issue of subletting the house, Tangli's branch store has been renovated and has started trial operation.

Tang Li invited Ye Li and Su Cheng over for coffee as a friend.

Today, besides being the day of our soft opening, is also a special day: December 31st. New Year's Eve.

Su Cheng urged from the living room, "Sister Li, are you ready? Can we go out? Qin Fen and the others are already waiting for us!"

"Okay, okay, okay, stop rushing me."

When the two arrived at Tangli's branch, Qin Fen and Zhang Yangwen were still nowhere to be seen.

"??? Where are they?"

"Not yet."

Ye Li: ???
"So you're saying they're already waiting for us."

"whee."

Su Cheng did it on purpose.

These past few days, Ye Li has been staying at his place and has been urging Su Cheng to hurry up, as Ye Li is a person who values ​​time very much.

Today, Su Cheng finally seized the opportunity and, seeing Ye Li spacing out in her room, urged her to hurry up.

Ye Li then realized that Su Cheng had lied to her.

"I'll fucking beat you to death!"

Ye Li punched Su Cheng's arm twice, making two loud thuds.

"Holy crap, it hurts so much!"

"If it hurts so badly, then so be it."

"Sister Chestnut, you went too far!"

"Today's outcome is relatively mild."

"Waaaaah, I'm crying."

Ye Li:?
"Hehehe, I was just pretending. It didn't hurt at all."

Ye Li: ???
"Damn it, you deserve a beating."

While the two were playfully bickering, Qin Fen and Zhang Yangwen arrived at the store late.

"Hey, Brother Cheng, Sister Li, you're here so early?"

"Wasn't it supposed to be four points?"

Both of them expressed their doubts.

Qin Fen lived quite far away, so he started preparing two hours in advance and arrived at the store more than twenty minutes early to pick up Zhang Yangwen.

Unexpectedly, Su Cheng and Ye Li arrived even earlier than them.

Ye Li explained, "No, no, we just arrived too."

Qin Fen had actually seen Su Cheng and Ye Li playing and frolicking through the huge window before he even entered the room.

Their relationship finally returned to what it was before.

That's good!

"Tang Li cleaned this window on the street so well!"

"What else? This is a very important point in the plan I gave him, okay?" Su Cheng raised one eyebrow. "Hey? Where's Tang Li? I can't find him."

Zhang Yangwen called over a waiter so Su Cheng could ask him questions.

"Hello."

"Hello, how can I help you?"

"I'd like to ask, where is your store manager?"

"Um... I am the store manager."

"No, no, what I mean is, where's your boss?"

"Oh, the boss has gone out."

"When will you be back?"

"do not know."

"When did you go out?"

"He's been gone for a while, he'll probably be back soon."

Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.

Tang Li returned just as the store manager left.

As soon as Tang Li entered, he saw Su Cheng and the other three sitting by the window.

"Hey, President Su, President Ye, President Qin, President Zhang..."

Tang Li chatted politely with Su Cheng and the other three for a few minutes before realizing that they hadn't ordered yet. So he offered to let them order whatever they wanted, and the meal would be on the house.

The four people started ordering.

Qin Fen and Su Cheng ordered iced Americano.

Su Cheng noticed that Zhang Yangwen ordered a latte, the shop's signature drink.

He thinks this is good.

Zhang Yangwen didn't follow their lead and order the same drinks, but instead tried different flavors.

Ye Li ordered a decaffeinated coffee, a drink developed by Tang Li that Su Cheng had kept on the menu last time. It tasted like coffee but was decaffeinated.

"Hey, Sister Chestnut, the drink you ordered is really good."

"No, drinking coffee at this hour will keep me awake tonight."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "I can fall asleep."

Qin Fen immediately chimed in, "I can fall asleep too."

"Oh, so you two are pigs?"

"Not at all!"

"At four or five o'clock, the two of them each had an iced Americano, and it was a double shot. How could they possibly sleep at night? What else could they be but pigs?"

soon.

Four drinks were served.

Tang Li, holding an iced Americano, sat down at the table and chatted with Su Cheng and the others about the coffee shop.

Su Cheng gave him some instructions on precautions and the management of funds, and finally praised Tang Li for recruiting a good store manager and barista.

The five of them chatted for about half an hour when Tang Li received a phone call and said he had to leave early.

Before leaving, he told the store manager that whatever Su Cheng and the others ordered would be free, and they could just use his Boss code. He also personally taught the store manager and cashier how to enter the Boss code into the POS system.

After Tang Li left.

The four of them started talking about their respective topics.

The first thing they discussed when they sat down together was the profit sharing from the Dujuan case.

That's right.

The profit-sharing table for the Du Juan case has been completed.

Ye Li's proposal was approved very quickly after it was sent to headquarters, and the client was very satisfied.

Lin Lin quickly took action and determined the profit-sharing ratio for each member of the joint team.

As the proposer of the plan, Ye Li received the highest share of the profits, taking the lion's share of the entire case. Her pre-tax income was 1008 million, exceeding eight figures!

After taxes and other miscellaneous fees, you still get several million!

"By the way, Su Cheng, how much did your house cost again?"

Ye Li inquired about the rent for Su Cheng's house.

After her house was sublet, she would have to find another place to live, and she certainly couldn't stay at Su Cheng's place forever.

"Fifteen thousand."

Ye Li asked in surprise, "So expensive?"

Qin Fen also thought it was expensive, but he felt Ye Li shouldn't think it was expensive: "This is expensive? Sister Li, you're going to get several million this time!"

"So what if it's a few million? We can't just spend it recklessly."

Su Cheng accompanied her to look at several apartments over the past few days, but Ye Li didn't like any of them.

Either the rent is too expensive, the apartment layout is bad, or it's too dilapidated.

"What I'm thinking of is... just buying a set in Jingzhou."

"What do you think?"
