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

Chapter 244 Will Su Cheng Save Me?

Su Tianyan returned to the command center in anger.

The expert team has already heard about Su Tianyan's ordeal today through the embedded hidden earpiece in his ear.

Everyone knew that President Su was probably not in a good mood today.

It's normal to feel down.

Prior to this, the expert team had made various speculations, and some even opened for sale.

Some people think the young master will give President Su a Honda.

Some speculate that the young master will give President Su a Volkswagen.

Some speculate that the young master will pay a 50% down payment and take out a loan for President Su to buy an SUV worth around 150,000 yuan.

They are roughly divided into four levels: 50,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan, 150,000 yuan, and 200,000 yuan.

The result was completely unexpected.

The young master actually gave President Su a 15,000 yuan old man's car.

Everyone was baffled for a moment, but it seemed reasonable for the young master to give the old man a car, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Although the young master accepted bribes, he did not tell President Su, nor did he mention the reward money for the Du Juan case. Therefore, in the eyes of others, Su Cheng probably only had a little money.

Furthermore, they transferred money and bought mobile phones, and they also received funds when starting their business.

Aside from the fact that the young master moved to a bigger house, he basically had no money left.

President Su himself has speculated many times whether Su Cheng would give him a car, and what kind of car she would give him.

The actual result was so different from what was expected that it was hard not to feel a huge sense of disappointment.

and.

According to President Su's persona, he also had to pretend to be excited and thrilled.

This is really infuriating.

Not only could they not vent their anger, they also had to suppress it in frustration.

After Su Tianyan returned, everyone held their breath, afraid of being targeted.

They had already written today's report, but no one dared to go up and present it.

This matter can only be reported by Secretary Bai today.

Bai Zihua, an old man who had followed Su Tianyan for a long time, was not afraid.

He understood Su Tianyan's personality.

Things are things, and emotions are emotions.

These two must be strictly distinguished, and one should not treat people or things with any subjective emotions.

Some people may know this principle, but Su Tianyan can truly put it into practice.

Therefore, Bai Zihua is not afraid of being scolded, and Su Tianyan will not scold him either.

"Mr. Su, we have already sent someone to have that sales associate delete the photos and text posts on her WeChat Moments and short video platforms, and we have also cleared the data from her phone."

Su Tianyan didn't speak, but just hummed in agreement.

"Also, Mr. Su, I must remind you that your overall performance today was rather poor, which doesn't fit your persona," Bai Zihua said directly.

Su Tianyan asked succinctly, "Where?"

“When we were taking pictures, you showed a strong resistance and didn’t have the excitement of ‘my son bought a car,’ especially after the salesperson congratulated you on getting your new car.”

"Then what should I do?"

"You should have been eager to have the sales assistant take photos, and asked them for two more bottles of windshield washer fluid."

Bai Zihua reported Su Tianyan on the issues of his behavior today in a matter-of-fact manner, in order to avoid the risk of his public image collapsing.

Persona collapse

Su Tianyan frowned.

His behavior today was indeed problematic, just as Bai Zihua and the team of experts analyzed.

When he heard the phrase "happily received his new car," Su Tianyan felt like cursing and had no interest in taking pictures.

It was already very good that they managed to take Su Cheng and the others to the store and not reveal any flaws.

Su Tianyan didn't lose his temper. This was a daily behavior monitoring report that he had set for himself, precisely because he was afraid of his public image collapsing.

At the same time, he was also aware that he had not performed very well today.

"Okay, I got it. I'll be more careful next time."

Su Tianyan assembled a team of experts to analyze why Su Cheng would give him a car for the elderly.

He wanted to know if there were any other reasons besides driver's license and financial issues.

Common sense dictates that an average person can get a driver's license in two months, or even a month if things go smoothly; it's not that difficult.

It would be reasonable for Su Cheng to give him a used Wuling Hongguang, since it can be used to haul goods.

Giving him a "low-speed electric car"... he really couldn't understand it.

He wondered if he was really so unworthy of driving an old man's car in Su Cheng's eyes.

He is now the owner of a decoration company.

So you ended up driving an old man's car?
This is completely out of character for a renovation company owner!

Even Baojun, Haval, or Wuling Hongguang.

After discussion.

The opinions and conclusions of the group were surprisingly consistent:
"President Su, this shows that the young master doesn't see you as the owner of the decoration company at all, but still as a decoration worker. And the young master doesn't think you can make much money. As long as you don't lose money, that's good enough."

"So, Mr. Su, you need to show some results, such as making money, and use that to subtly tell the young master that this decoration company can make a lot of money."

It's the same issue that has been mentioned many times before.

Su Tianyan thought about it and realized it made sense.

Su Tianyan immediately gave orders to the field team, instructing them to draft a plan for execution.

He wanted to make a lot of money through the renovation company in a legitimate and proper way.

Su Tianyan wanted to use this as a basis to increase his importance in Su Cheng's heart and enhance his prestige in Su Cheng's heart.

Bai Zihua then stepped forward again: "President Su, I feel it's necessary to remind you of one thing: this is a plan with certain risks."

Su Tianyan countered, "What do you mean?"

"You must control the speed and amount of money you make."

"If you make money too quickly and too much, it will backfire, making the young master only see the profits and not your abilities."

Su Tianyan lowered his eyes and brows.

Bai Zihua is right.

This kind of emotion built on money is not what he wants.

If making money too quickly and too much is too much, then it's better to just tell the brat that he is the chairman of the Emperor Group.

That makes no sense.

So how exactly do we do it?
First and foremost, it certainly can't be fake.

It is many times harder to forge something than to do it in real life.

The simplest way is for them to actually set up a thriving decoration company in this county, and then slightly inflate the accounts.

In other words.

Su Tianyan was really going to go to the front line to scrape white paint and spray textured paint on people's walls, and he also had to let Su Cheng see the sweat and effort he put in.

"Yes, Mr. Su, that's exactly what I meant."

Su Tianyan seemed to be deep in thought; he had already planned out the entire scheme in his mind.

"What's up with that chubby kid? Did he go see his dad today, you brat?"

"Yes, President Su." Last time, when Bai Zihua introduced Zheng Jiawei to Su Tianyan, he only mentioned the relationship between Zheng Jiawei and Su Cheng.

This time, Bai Zihua focused on Zheng Jiawei's family and the relationship between Zheng Jiawei and his father.

Su Tianyan and Zheng Guotao were not even "unfamiliar" with each other; he didn't know this cripple at all.

"I think this paralyzed person is a bit of a burden to the family."

If Su Cheng and Ye Li were present, they would definitely be very surprised. Su Cheng would even be so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth: the old man actually thinks Zheng Guotao is a burden.
"Mr. Su, if you were Zheng Jiawei, would you still do everything you could to save Zheng Guotao?"

Su Tianyan answered decisively, "Of course not."

Su Tianyan is also a human being; he also has emotions.

But when faced with a problem, he always insists on thinking about it calmly and objectively, without letting any emotions get in the way.

In Zheng Jiawei's case, the sooner Zheng Guotao dies, the better for Zheng Jiawei.

Because Zheng Jiawei doesn't need to expend extra energy, emotions, time, or even money on Zheng Guotao.

This time and energy can be used to expand the business.

The extra money can be used to invest in a larger shop, or to get married and have children.

Zheng Guotao is a waste of air and food, and he only drags his son down with him.

"President Su, may I ask you another question that might offend you? If you were the one lying in the hospital bed, would you prefer the young master to save you or not?"

This question stumped Su Tianyan.

Nobody wants to die.

Similarly, Su Tianyan didn't want to die either.

Su Tianyan's answer was ambiguous: "If you have money, I'll save you; if you don't, then let me die."

Bai Zihua felt that Su Tianyan was avoiding the issue.

If you don't have money, what other options are there?
I can only die.

Following Su Tianyan's logic, the next question is: Where is the line between being rich and not being rich?

Bai Zihua broke down the question, which is actually: How much effort does President Su hope Xiao Cheng will put in to save him?
Emptying their savings and accumulating massive debts?
They empty their savings but are unwilling to take on debt, or only take on moderate debt.

Or, you could take out only a portion of your savings, whether it's 30% or 70%.

Let's follow Su Tianyan's line of thought and rationally consider this issue.

Because if we set aside family ties and emotions when evaluating this issue, then we should consider the value that the patient can create after being cured.

For example, if Su Tianyan earns 60,000 yuan a year, spends half and saves the other half, that's 30,000 yuan a year, and in 20 years it would be 600,000 yuan.

This is the situation where there are no disasters or illnesses, and one can work until old age.

According to Su Tianyan's logic, without considering the amount of savings, once it exceeds 60, it is definitely not worth it.

If, after being cured, one's health is not as good as before, and one is not as capable as before, earning only 30,000 a year and saving 15,000, that would amount to 300,000.

If there is a pension, it's even easier to calculate; you can simply calculate how much pension you can receive while you're still alive.

However, those with pensions generally don't reach this point because they all have medical insurance, so medical treatment doesn't cost much, unless it's an illness that isn't covered by insurance and requires out-of-pocket payment.

Moreover, people with retirement pensions generally have a lot of influence at home because their pensions can support their children.

Bai Zihua was referring to the situation where there is no pension.

If the elderly person has no pension and no income, the son will start paying for their parents' support, so the amount will have to be reduced from the original 60 or 30.

Therefore, the final measurement number may be less than 20.

This consideration is based on conditions such as "it's better to be alive than dead" and "being able to take care of oneself".

have to say.

This algorithm is actually quite inhumane.

If everyone calculates things this way, then society will be a cold society, devoid of any human warmth. Everyone will be like robots, and there will be no kinship between families, only self-interest.

There are exceptions.

If there is affection between father and son, then it is appropriate to add a little more money to the "20" amount.

If there's no emotional connection, then reduce the price appropriately.

Judging from President Su's expression, he certainly didn't want Su Cheng to calculate the score this way.

But the method he taught Su Cheng was to teach her how to do accounts this way.

Without any emotion.

Without any emotional involvement.

This naturally includes family ties.

What Bai Zihua described was still the best-case scenario.

Because whenever someone gets sick, the family has to spend money, which will more or less affect living expenses, lower the quality of life, and reduce the amount in savings accounts.

The coldest thing is: you'd better not get sick.

If you get sick, you might as well just wait to die.

The children said they had no money, and without even doing the math, they just had to prepare for their father's funeral.

"President Su, I must remind you that no matter how much you have contributed, it is your ability, and you have this ability."

“Zheng Guotao doesn’t have that ability; his only ability is to provide Zheng Jiawei with a living.”

"Are there differences? Of course there are, but they are essentially the same."

Bai Zihua continued, "President Su, I'm not saying you're the same as Zheng Guotao. You're more capable and wiser than Zheng Guotao."

Bai Zihua meant that President Su's persona and his actions towards the young master were actually quite similar to Zheng Guotao's.

Bai Zihua only thought about these words once in his mind; he didn't say them aloud.

Even so, Su Tianyan was still rendered speechless.

Su Tianyan naturally hoped that Su Cheng would empty his entire savings, even if it meant going into debt, to save him.

But in doing so, their behavior becomes no different from Zheng Guotao's.

Su Tianyan firmly believed that he and Zheng Guotao were completely different fathers, and he was convinced that this was the truth.

Zheng Guotao is a vampire of the Zheng family.

Su Tianyan, on the other hand, was the one who made the sacrifice.

He devoted a great deal of time and effort to Su Cheng, spending countless resources and money to raise her into adulthood.

This is the essential difference between him and Zheng Guotao.

As for whether to save Su Cheng or not, and how much money to spend on the treatment, there is no standard.

Doing your best is the standard.

If it really comes to that... Su Tianyan believes that Su Cheng should at least take out all the money, including the money he has hidden and the money he has received as bribes. If that is not enough, he will definitely have to go into debt again, right?
Otherwise, how could Su Cheng repay his wholehearted and painstaking efforts?

Su Tianyan believed that she deserved Su Cheng's sacrifice.

As for Zheng Guotao, he is definitely not worth it.

At this moment, Bai Zihua really wanted to ask: Are you sure?
But he didn't ask, afraid that President Su would hesitate.

Lies don't hurt.

The truth is the sharpest knife.

Su Tianyan promptly ended the conversation.

"There's no point in making that assumption."

“I won’t get sick. Even if I do, I have a top-notch medical team and enough money to enjoy the best medical care. That brat won’t have a choice.”

"Alright, that's enough. I'm tired today, I'm going to rest."

"You should all rest too."
