Jiang Mengxin paced back and forth in the bedroom, contemplating how to help Su Wanran.
Although she was still angry with Su Wanran, there were no insurmountable rifts between sisters. The most important thing now was to unite against the common enemy and teach Su Ru a harsh lesson!
She analyzed, "That scoundrel Xiao Teng is too detestable, passing off inferior goods as superior. The key is that the contract has been signed, and we have no way to deal with him."
No way? Heh heh, when it came to the Dragon Warlord, there was no such thing as impossible!
Lu Ming said calmly, "I will go and see Xiao Teng myself. I guarantee he will be completely compliant and obediently re-sign the contract. As for you, Mengxin, your most important task is to return to the company, stabilize morale, and eliminate the malicious speculation among employees towards Su Wanran."
Jiang Mengxin looked at Lu Ming, "What's the use of you dealing with a scumbag like Xiao Teng?"
Lu Ming chuckled, "Don't worry, I have my ways. To deal with villains, you have to be more villainous than them! Xiao Teng passed off inferior goods as superior, and I won't? Just you wait and see, I'll show Xiao Teng what it means to have a mountain higher than another."
With that said.
Lu Ming immediately got up and left the room to settle the score with Xiao Teng.
Jiang Mengxin repeatedly shook her head, saying, "This kid doesn't know what bad idea he's brewing again. Forget it, let him do as he pleases. I'll go back to the company first and stabilize Wanran's mindset."
...
Origin Project, Office Building.
At this moment, a peculiar atmosphere permeated the company—everyone was gloating, secretly mocking the incompetence of the new chairman, Su Wanran!
Everyone knew what had happened this morning.
Xiao Teng had successfully tricked Su Wanran with two characters that looked very similar, taking away a hundred million from the Su family for free.
Su Wanran had taken quite a painful fall.
This incident had delighted everyone in the company, from top to bottom.
"Did you all hear? Director Su was tricked out of a hundred million with a wrong character, hahahaha, it's hilarious."
"How idiotic does one have to be to make such a mistake?"
"I've realized that Su Wanran is very ruthless when dealing with her own people, but she's useless when dealing with outsiders."
"She's just a bully within her own territory!"
At this moment, Su Wanran was standing in the office as punishment!
Old Madam Shen Dianlan sat in the office chair. After hearing about the incident, she had rushed over immediately.
Losing a hundred million for nothing had infuriated the old woman. She glared at Su Wanran, wishing she could slap her.
"Su Wanran, you're something else! You've been in charge for less than three days, and you've given away a hundred million for free. How can you be so generous? When did our Su family become so rich?"
Su Wanran heard the words and felt the pain in her heart.
She said with tears, "Grandma, I'll take responsibility for my actions. This loss of a hundred million will not be borne by the company; it will all be on me. I will find a way to make up for this deficit. If I can't, my equity dividends will be deducted!"
This was quite a sacrifice.
A hundred million, if counted on Su Wanran's personal account, would mean at least three years of her work being in vain.
Shen Dianlan snorted, "Alright, alright, stop playing the victim here. Do I care about that hundred million? I care about why you're so stupid! You've only been in charge for three days, and you've already lost so much money. Heh heh, Wanran, if you continue like this for three to five months, the entire Su family will be sold off by you, won't it?"
She spewed a torrent of sarcastic remarks, and Su Wanran could only endure it.
What else could she do?
If she got angry and resigned as family head, would she let Su Ru take over? Wouldn't that play right into Su Ru's hands?
Shen Dianlan said fiercely, "Su Wanran, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're the family head. Let me tell you, this old woman is not dead yet! As long as I'm here, I can rally the entire board of directors to oust you! Su Wanran, you'd better find a way to make up for that hundred million quickly. If you can't, your position as family head should be relinquished."
Su Wanran felt utter despair.
Her reputation was ruined.
Her helpers were gone.
And she had dug such a massive hole.
Indeed, from the current situation, Su Wanran's position as family head was precarious; if the hundred million couldn't be repaid, the position would likely have to be handed over to Su Ru.
This was also the unanimous thought of all the employees in the company.
Su Wanran sighed, filled with sadness and despair.
She had never expected that after struggling with Su Feiyang for so long, the position she had finally fought for, she would have to give up to Su Ru after only a few days.
If only she had known this would happen, why have she fought so hard in the first place?
If Su Wanran had known she would have to give the position to Su Ru, she wouldn't have strived so hard to contend with Su Feiyang.
Regret!
...
At the same time, in a flashy bar, Xiao Teng was happily drinking.
He was bragging and drinking with his cronies, with women in his arms, having a great time. His subordinates were all flattering him.
"Boss Xiao, you were so impressive today, getting a hundred million for nothing. Amazing."
"We all have to learn from Boss Xiao. We'll strive for more progress in the future and hopefully earn a hundred million too."
Xiao Teng laughed heartily and said, "You guys aren't capable of it. To earn a hundred million, you need favorable timing, geographical advantage, and popular support. Without any of these, even if you're smart, if you don't encounter someone like Su Wanran, who is foolish and rich, you won't make money."
The subordinates nodded repeatedly, all agreeing it made perfect sense.
"Yes, yes, that's right."
"No matter how smart we are, it's useless if there aren't fools for us to trick."
"We can only say that Boss Xiao is lucky to have met such a stupid, fat sheep, getting a full meal in one go."
Xiao Teng chuckled, "I'm telling you, you didn't see Su Wanran's triumphant expression when she signed the contract. It was as if she had gotten the better deal. I almost died laughing. With that pig's brain, she still wanted to take my money? I played her like a dog, hahahaha."
They bragged and drank, and soon, a case of wine was finished.
Xiao Teng snapped his fingers, "Another case!"
The waiter immediately brought a case of wine. "Please enjoy, take your time drinking."
The subordinates opened the case, took out bottle after bottle of red wine, and filled everyone's glasses.
Xiao Teng rubbed his drunken eyes and picked up a bottle, saying, "This wine looks a bit strange."
A subordinate said, "It does look a bit strange. I haven't had it before. Could someone be trying to poison Boss Xiao?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
They didn't care what kind of wine it was, they picked it up and drank, getting more and more enthusiastic as they drank.
Xiao Teng gave a thumbs-up, "Hmm, not bad. This red wine tastes really good, it's delicious. What kind of wine is this? Next time I come, serve me this kind of red wine! Did you hear that?"
At this moment, Xiao Teng had not yet realized that he, a cunning fox, had fallen into the hunter's trap.
Not far away.
Lu Ming raised his wine glass and drank it all, muttering to himself, "The prey is trapped, reel in the net!"
