My Terrible Life in Those Years

After hanging up the phone, I pondered for a long time.

After thinking it over and over, I still couldn't figure out how to help Aunt Shu.

If she could save those two or three million, she would be in a much better mood and under much less pressure.

I haven't had much contact with Boss Liu, unlike the previous Wu Bo incident, where I managed to get him into and out of the company smoothly.

But he's just Wu Bo, so what tricks do I have to deal with him?

I only know a few companies.

Wu Bo, his wife, Aunt Shu, Yi Hongye, Zhou Tong, Qian Bingbing, Ye Tian...

Wait, Ye Tian?

Haha, a sudden inspiration struck me.

That damn Ye Tian, ​​doesn't he have a huge weakness in my hands?

I immediately sat up and started fiddling with my phone.

I'm thinking about how to figure this out.

Then, without causing major changes, let President Liu back down and let Aunt Shu off the hook.

Actually, Aunt Shu knew about this; I called her as soon as I left yesterday.

However, it's clear that she didn't use this incident to negotiate with CEO Liu.

Otherwise, why would you have gone to borrow a large sum of money last night?

It's not that she can't, but rather that she doesn't want to, or is unwilling to, let this incident affect her reputation in the industry.

I, Shu Mei, would rather lose a lot of money than take advantage of you.

As for future competition, it will be a cutthroat battle, with everyone testing their strength.

After her monologue yesterday, I was able to basically grasp her train of thought.

She is indeed a person with a very strong personality.

She would never allow anyone to find fault with her on any matter of principle.

Therefore, I have no choice but to handle it myself.

Moreover, I can't let Boss Liu feel that I'm standing up for her.

Okay, let's do it this way.

Having made up his mind, he immediately picked up the phone and called Xiao Zhou Tong.

"What's wrong, Brother Jiang?" She always answers the phone the fastest, probably learned it from Aunt Shu.

"Has President Shu finished talking with him?"

"They've finished talking? I can't tell how it went. When President Shu came out, her expression was very calm."

Ah, of course it's calm now.

Without delay, I immediately made a direct call to General Manager Liu's office.

After three rings, a standard mid-to-low voice responded: "Hello."

"Hello, Mr. Liu, this is Jiang Ning."

He was surprised; he didn't expect me to call him.

"Oh, Xiao Jiang? What brings you here to call me?"

There was no emotional fluctuation in his tone, nor any hint of happiness or unhappiness.

An old fox.

I had already made my judgment about him.

So, I'm too lazy to beat around the bush with him, let's get straight to the point.

"Well, there's something I'd like to report to Da Liu."

"Hmm? Xiao Jiang, why are you being so polite? You're no longer my subordinate, so there's no need to use the word 'report'."

He was still somewhat surprised, not expecting me to use the word "report".

"No way, in my heart, Liu will always be my boss. This courtesy is essential."

I'll flatter him first, hoping he won't be too surprised when he hears about this later.

Clearly, my words made him feel somewhat comfortable; that was a clever little flattery.

"Hehe, you little Jiang, what a pity, such a promising young man, leaving brilliance so soon. What a shame."

"Tell me, what's the matter you need me for?"

I guess he thought I was asking him for help, or that I wanted to regain my former glory?

"Well, yesterday I saw someone and something happened that I've been thinking about whether or not to tell Mr. Liu. I've been thinking about it for a while now, and I feel that this matter is a bit serious, so I should still tell Mr. Liu. After all, during our heyday, we received a lot of your help."

Mr. Liu was clearly taken aback. What was going on?

"Oh. I'm listening. Tell me specifically what happened." He had a feeling that something was amiss.

If it were just a minor matter, there would be no need to contact him directly.

"Okay, then I'll start from the beginning."

"Yesterday, I went to the stadium to look for someone, and coincidentally, I ran into Manager Ye. And..."

Ok?

Mr. Liu was slightly taken aback.

How could he know about this? A business manager like him doesn't need to worry about business matters at all these days.

"Go on, what happened to him?"

So, the answer lies with Ye Tian?

"At that time, I happened to pass by the bidding office and saw Manager Ye take a large envelope, the kind of large envelope our company used to use to hold shopping vouchers, and put it on what looked like a leader's desk."

At this moment, Mr. Liu probably felt a slight sinking feeling in his heart.

How can we let outsiders see this?

"And then?" He remained calm.

"And then? I said hello to Manager Ye and went about my business. The problem is, when I passed by the office again, I thought I heard him on the phone with someone, talking about something about Brilliance, someone giving gifts, and whether it was arranged by you. I couldn't hear clearly, and I don't know if he was talking to President Shu or to you?"

"I think there might be some problems. Our company is busy with big business and projects, and we're preparing for an IPO. If something goes wrong in this area, it's a minor issue, not to mention whether we win the project or not. But if it delays something important, I'll really be in trouble."

For at least three seconds, Mr. Liu was speechless.

He looked at the office door. Why didn't Shu Mei bring this up just now?

Are you waiting to see my attitude? And then you'll decide how to set a trap?

I just firmly stated that I would follow the contract, so why didn't she bring it up directly and try to negotiate with me then?

"Mr. Liu? Mr. Liu? Are you still listening?"

He snapped out of his reverie: "Oh, yes, yes, thank you, Xiao Jiang, thank you for remembering me and the company. For passing on such important information to me. One more question, have you told President Shu about this?"

"Hmm? Can I tell President Shu? Even without me saying anything, Manager Ye will probably tell her too, right? After all, this is no small matter. Oh, but not necessarily. Manager Ye even treated me to lunch, and it seems he told me not to tell anyone. This won't affect him, will it?"

I'm sorry, Manager Ye, but this time, I have no choice but to take the fall for you. Please, for the sake of my Aunt Shu's three million, take this bullet for me.

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Liu fell into deep thought.

It seems that Ye Tian probably didn't tell Shu Mei, but Shu Mei kept quiet about it, waiting for him to finish the contract before dealing with it.

Given her personality, she either doesn't make a fuss at all, or when she does, it's a big one.

This is the ironclad impression that General Manager Shu gives to everyone in the company!

At such a crucial moment, we can't afford any more problems.

"Mr. Shu, could you please come over again? There were some issues earlier that we'd like to discuss in more detail."

I looked at my phone at home and smiled.

I'm sorry, Manager Ye, but you're going to get scammed again this time.

I like my terrible life back then.
