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

Chapter 283 Mr. Long is a relative of Team Leader Su

That afternoon.

Su Cheng asked Qin Fen to reserve a larger conference room, as he had not had a formal conversation with everyone since taking office as the leader of Group 7 and even after the group was merged.

Just then, Long Ruoli assigned a case, and Su Cheng thought it would be good to put the two matters together.

Su Cheng and Qin Fen arrived at meeting room number four ahead of time and waited for the original members of group two who would be merged into their group.

Actually, they had met before; in the last case involving Du Juan, Su Cheng was excluded from her official duties and served as an investigator on the joint task force.

Even if they had never heard of Su Cheng before in Shengyue, the joint team knew of him when handling cases.

After receiving the meeting notice, the members of the new Group 7 arrived at Meeting Room 4 one after another.

They saw that Su Cheng, the team leader, was already waiting in the conference room. Every two or three people who came in would greet Su Cheng.

After sitting down, I would secretly glance at the notifications on my phone to make sure I wasn't late.

Once everyone had arrived, Su Cheng officially began the meeting.

Su Cheng, as the team leader, started with a passionate speech, roughly saying that everyone would be a team from now on and that they should look after each other, along with some other polite remarks.

The original second group had 25 people, but with the addition of Su Cheng, Qin Fen, Zhang Yangwen, Mu Xueping, and Li Shanying, it has now become a large group of 30 people.

The large group is easy to manage. Su Cheng only needs to allocate her people to the existing two groups without making any major adjustments.

“I believe everyone has some questions in their minds: why is Group 2 being merged into Group 7, instead of Group 7 being merged into Group 2?”

The question raised by Su Cheng is indeed one that many people are curious about.

For the original Group Two members, it was simply a matter of a few more people being integrated into their team system; they just had a different leader.

Why not merge Group 7 into Group 2?

Everyone eagerly awaited Su Cheng's answer.

"Regarding this question... I'm not entirely sure either."

The meeting room was filled with muffled laughter; everyone present was amused by Su Cheng's humor.

Su Cheng explained to everyone, "This decision was made by President Long, Supervisor Deng, and the HR department."

He displayed his humor to his new subordinates before getting to the main topic of the day:

"Okay, I'm done joking around with everyone."

"This morning, General Manager Long assigned our group a task, the main task of which was to deal with some non-performing assets of other subsidiaries of the group."

"See the files on the table? That's our task for the next few weeks."

Su Cheng briefly assigned the tasks.

The team members were responsible for screening case files and information, providing suggestions, and finally Su Cheng made the final decision to submit them to Long Ruoli and headquarters.

The group gradually got into the zone.

Su Cheng also needed to review the case files, but his purpose was not to alleviate the group's burdens, but to identify companies, property rights, means of production, and information that had development potential but were considered non-performing assets by the group.

An afternoon passed, and Su Cheng still hadn't found any good assets.

But don't worry, these files have only just begun to be processed and are only just starting to be sorted out.

Finding gold in the dung requires patience.

Su Cheng felt that everyone's brains were probably tired, so she thought she would dismiss them for now: "Let's call it a day for today's group meeting. I'll treat everyone to coffee later. If you want anything, just sign up with Qin Fen."

"Team Leader Su is awesome!"

“Thank you, Team Leader Su!”

"Team Leader Su, is there a share for me?"

Su Cheng looked up and saw Lin Lin leaning against the glass door, smiling at Su Cheng.

The departing team members all said goodbye to Lin Lin, their former team leader.

"Mr. Lin."

"Team Leader Lin."

"Sister Lin."

Lin Lin extended her five fingers and gently pointed them downwards in response.

Su Cheng greeted her with a smile: "Oh, President Lin is here. What a coincidence! Then I'll reluctantly offer you a drink as well."

Lin Lin knew that Su Cheng was having a meeting here half an hour ago, but she didn't disturb them until the meeting ended.

"Team Leader Su is so magnanimous!"

Lin Lin turned to her old team members and said, "Everyone must learn from Team Leader Su in the future. Only through teamwork and cooperation can we do our job well."

Su Cheng knew, of course, what Lin Lin's purpose was in appearing now. The old team leader was supporting the new team leader and his work, which could also be seen as a transfer of power from the previous junior leaders.

A new team leader without the support of an experienced team leader is likely to have a poor relationship with their subordinates.

After the group dispersed, only Su Cheng and Lin Lin remained in the meeting room to talk alone.

"How's it going? Are the guys I brought doing alright?"

"Uh, nothing much, I've only just begun."

Lin Lin rolled her eyes at Su Cheng.

Su Cheng immediately changed her tune: "There shouldn't be any problem."

"What do you mean 'should'? There's definitely no problem. You can use the people I've brought with you without worry."

"Okay! I understand!"

"Do you have anyone in mind for a deputy team leader? Someone to be your assistant or something?"

"Not yet, I haven't even met all the people yet."

"Then I'll recommend someone you can check out. Xiaotong in the group is pretty good. She's smart, ambitious, and follows instructions."

"What's it called?"

"Let's call her Xiaotong, Wu Xiaotong."

Lin Lin added, "I'm not trying to form cliques here, I'm just recommending this to you based on my own standards."

Lin Lin explained that after Yuan Xinhao left the company, she wanted to recommend him to the leadership, but with the arrival of a new leader during the Chinese New Year, she didn't know what to say.

"Okay, I've got it. I'll take a closer look over the next couple of days."

"Uh-huh."

Outside the conference room.

Wu Xiaotong and Yan Yue were also discussing Su Cheng.

"Xiaotong, what do you think of the new team leader?"

Wu Xiaotong shared her honest impression of Su Cheng: "He's alright, quite humorous, and seems responsible. He should be reliable."

"And you, Yueyue, how are you feeling?"

"So-so. Didn't he get rid of our team leader, Yuan?"

"Huh???" Wu Xiaotong looked surprised; she had never heard of it before!
Yan Yue had a so-so impression of Su Cheng, not at all good, and even felt some aversion towards her.

"You don't know?"

"I don't know... Where did you hear this from?"

"That's good, I'll tell you something else you don't know."

Yan Yue whispered in Wu Xiaotong's ear, telling her some very exciting news.

Wu Xiaotong's eyes widened in surprise after hearing this.

Is the new CEO, Mr. Long, a distant cousin of Su Cheng?!
What is this thing again?!
"No, you can't just spread this around like that..." Wu Xiaotong pressed Yan Yue for the source and evidence of this information, "What relative?"

"They said it was his cousin."

"I heard it from someone else, I have no proof, but it feels very true."

Cousin?

How did this cousin come about?
Could it be that this was simply deduced from age?

Yan Yue lowered her voice again, "Then why give him the award for best of the year? Even if it wasn't President Lin, it would be Ye Li, right? Isn't that evidence?"

Wu Xiaotong felt that this inference was barely tenable. Su Cheng did indeed handle a lot of cases last year, performed very well, and was even included in the annals.

However, those cases were relatively small in scale, involving things like coffee shops or lighters, which were minor incidents compared to the cases they usually handled.

The biggest case that Team Seven dealt with throughout the year was Du Juan, but Su Cheng voluntarily left the team and didn't get involved at all, taking only the minimum share of the profits, but she didn't receive any of the honors.

So logically, Su Cheng shouldn't be the winner of the year; it's not his turn.

"There's another piece of evidence."

Wu Xiaotong's gossipy nature was immediately piqued, and she pressed on, "What?"

"Someone saw Su Cheng come out of President Long's office carrying two gift boxes, with a smaller gift box stacked on top of the larger one."

"I guess it's either a gift or a local specialty."

"Shengyue has so many team leaders, why did Boss Long give him this one alone? Don't you think so?"

Ok……

Wu Xiaotong thought about it briefly.

The two things Yan Yue mentioned are both plausible and unfounded; neither is solid evidence.

"Hey, Xiaotong, you're not new to the workplace. Do you need any solid evidence for this? They're not going to pull out their family tree for you to see."

"That's true."

"And then there's the relationship between Ye Li and Su Cheng. Didn't Ye Li go back to Su Cheng's hometown for the New Year? I guess she probably met with President Long, so she knew in advance that President Long was going to be transferred to Shengyue."

"Otherwise, you can't explain why Ye Li didn't win the annual award but still became the deputy director."

"Su Cheng is a relative of President Long, and Ye Li is a near-relative of President Long. Of course, they'll take care of their own people, don't you think?"

Ah... why does Yan Yue's analysis seem more and more outrageous?

Each of her deductions is based on the premise that the previous step was correct.

If any point in this sequence is wrong, then everything is wrong.

You can't have a completely wrong process but a correct result, right?
……

night.

Su Cheng secretly met with Wang Zhiying and Zhao Peng at a restaurant.

The sale of "Heart Signal" has been completed, and Boxer Group has paid the acquisition price in full.

The most absurd thing is that the money from the boxer group wasn't deposited into their company account at all, but into the Emperor Group.

It could also be said that the boxer directly transferred the money to Long Ruoli, who then redistributed it.

Regarding Su Cheng and Wang Zhiying's share, Long Ruoli deducted 90% before transferring it to Wang Zhiying's bank card.

This is just stupid. It doesn't follow the established procedures at all, but they only found out after the other party had already secretly done the job, without even giving them a chance to complain or raise objections.

"That woman is too ruthless, she's still holding back!" Wang Zhiying cursed Long Ruoli fiercely again, "If I just run away, will she not give me the money?"

"Hmm... I think so."

Wang Zhiying's expression and eyes turned resentful and fierce; she had never hated a woman so much.

Su Cheng felt that Dragon Mom even hoped Wang Zhiying would run away, and then leave her without giving her a single penny.

Fortunately, Su Cheng persuaded him to stop, otherwise all the money he had worked so hard to earn would have been deducted.

"Mr. Wang, let's look on the bright side; at least there are still quite a few left."

"Oh, Mr. Su, you have such a good attitude. You can still smile even after having so much money deducted from your pay."

Su Cheng: ? ?

"So what? I'll go find somewhere to cry. How do you know I didn't cry?"

To be honest, Su Cheng really did think about shedding tears; he was already used to it.

Facing the old man's devilish reformation every day, what does it matter if my pay is deducted... At least Su Cheng still got over ten million, nearly twenty million.

This is a number that Su Cheng never dared to even dream of before.

it's OK.

With this capital, there's no need to worry about not being able to get started.

"Mr. Wang, what are your plans next?"

"I haven't decided yet. I'll probably take a break for a year or two first."

"Huh? Taking a break? You're not even doing your job as the president of a beauty company anymore?"

"I quit. Let whoever wants to do it do it."

She was so exasperated by Long Ruoli that she didn't want to stay at the Emperor Group anymore.

She has enough money to last her a while, and plans to travel abroad for a year or two before making any further plans.

I definitely won't be starting a business with Su Cheng.

"Have you decided where to go for fun yet?"

"I didn't think about it."

Let me recommend a place to you.

"where?"

"Stone Lappo".

"Hey, this might work?"

wrong.

Su Cheng's gaze is off.

Who knows what kind of culinary magic is hidden in this kid's belly?

"But I don't like that. I want to go to Europe or America. Australia is nice."

"Don't do that, Mr. Wang. You should go to Selamat. It's much better than Europe and America. You can speak English or Mandarin there, and it's not xenophobic at all."

Wang Zhiying: ???

She was even more convinced that Su Cheng was up to no good.

Why do you insist on making me go to Selamat?

Only then did Su Cheng tell Wang Zhiying about the recent deal Shengyue had taken on with handling non-performing assets.

He wanted Wang Zhiying to register his investment company's paperwork and documents in Selamat, so that he could have a proper cover.

This task is perfect for Wang Zhiying, who wants to retire.

"You don't need to worry about company matters. Just enjoy your retirement and I'll give you a 1% dividend every year."

yeah?
Is there such a good thing?
A 1% dividend might sound low, but it seems enough to cover my annual living expenses.
"Sure, it doesn't matter, but you have to write down your 1% share of the profits in black and white in the contract."

Su Cheng: ???
Where have I heard this before?
He remembered that he had said something similar to Wang Zhiying before.

"Okay, okay, I'll write it for you."

Wang Zhiying rolled her eyes: "If you don't need me to take care of you, who will? Don't say anything, let me guess."

"Are you planning to have Xiao Chen leave the Emperor Group and come to Selamat to help you manage things?"

Su Cheng indeed thought so: "You guessed that?"

"Heh." Wang Zhiying sneered. "Do you want me to do her a favor?"

"Uh, no need, I can talk to her."

the next day.

Su Cheng immediately invited Chen Suna out for dinner, intending to discuss the matter with her.

Su Cheng wasn't sure; he wasn't sure if Chen Suna would agree.

In his eyes, a girl like Xiao Chen would have some dependence on her family, and she certainly wouldn't be as decisive and clean as Ye Li in breaking free from her family.

The task he assigned to Chen Suna required her to travel frequently, often visiting several countries a week.

Su Cheng still planned to try talking to her.
