Chapter 50 Return to Su Group
“Chairman, I have been in the company for three years—I am an experienced employee…”
The lady at the front desk was stunned when she saw that Su Youcheng had personally come down.
Seeing Su Ziyue holding Su Youcheng so affectionately, her eyes widened in surprise. They look so close, and she doesn’t look like she isn’t favored by him at all—unlike what is being spread at the company.
“The fact that you’re an experienced employee in the company shows that this is a serious problem for the company. Ziyue used to work in the company before; she is my granddaughter, and yet you won’t let her go upstairs when she comes to see me? I didn’t know that a small receptionist has such great authority!”
Su Youcheng looked displeased, whereas the lady at the front desk turned pale.
“It’s all my fault, Chairman. I have been working in the company for three years; considering the hard work that I have done, please don’t fire me, Chairman…”
The receptionist looked like she was about to cry, which was a pitiful sight to see.
However, Su Ziyue didn’t plan on letting her off so easily.
She turned her head to look at Su Youcheng. “Grandpa, I don’t think we should keep her. Just like you said, if a small receptionist, who decided arbitrarily not to let your granddaughter from going up, can still be allowed to stay, many people will follow suit. Su Group is a big company with a reputation in Yunzhou…”
Su Youcheng agreed with Su Ziyue on this matter.
Although he really didn’t like Su Ziyue, dirty linen shouldn’t be aired in public after all. If an employee in his company could easily bully Su Ziyue, it was the Su Family’s pride that would be hurt if news of it spread out.
Su Youcheng found it difficult to risk losing his pride.
Moreover, he still wanted Su Ziyue to come back to work, so he had to listen to her. “Fire her as a warning then!”
Hearing Su Youcheng’s decision, Su Ziyue smiled with satisfaction.
Meanwhile, Su Yige happened to come down.
As soon as she saw Su Ziyue, she walked over with a smile. “You’re here, Ziyue.”
“From now on, you will have to teach Ziyue more in the company. Alright, let the HR department take care of this matter then; I have something else to do. Ziyue, come with me.”
Under Su Youcheng’s order, Su Ziyue obediently followed him, showing him plenty of respect.
“Yige, I’ll be going up first.” Turning around, Su Ziyue smiled brightly and blinked at her provocatively.
Su Yige maintained a smile on her face as she clenched her fists tightly.
What is she so proud of as a woman who has nothing?
…
Su Ziyue followed Su Youcheng to his office, but the smile on her face vanished slightly.
She needed to make others think that Su Youcheng favored her, whereas Su Youcheng also needed to let people know that the Su Family was very tolerant and harmonious.
The two hit off in front of others, but when they were in private, they each showed their true colors.
“Follow this document and draw up a new contract,” Su Ziyue said as she put a contract in front of Su Youcheng.
Su Youcheng glanced at her. “You drew this up?”
Su Ziyue sat down and said unhurriedly, “Yes, I minored in law at university, so don’t try to fool me.”
After hearing Su Ziyue’s words, Su Youcheng felt awkward; he did ask the lawyer to rig the previous contract.
As a businessman, he had achieved the highest level of dishonesty in business.
Su Ziyue said it clearly so that he could no longer set her up with the contract.
Therefore, he had no choice but to call the lawyer with a cold look on his face, asking him to draw up a new contract according to the one drawn up by Su Ziyue. Then, both of them signed and sealed it.
After receiving the contract, Su Ziyue flashed a bright smile. “Grandpa, don’t forget to notify me about future shareholder meetings.”
Although Su Youcheng felt a little reluctant, he felt that this share was just a small profit when he thought of the benefits he would get soon.
“I have already given you the shares, so let’s talk about your work after you return to the company.” Su Youcheng took a sip of tea from the teacup on the side and looked at Su Ziyue with a serious look on his face.
Su Ziyue smiled knowingly. It really isn’t that simple.
She was a little curious as well. What exactly is the reason that made Su Youcheng willingly give up his shares to me?
“LK Group wants to work with our company. However, they requested you to be the person in charge of our company and act as their person-in-contact.”
As he said that, Su Youcheng sized up Su Ziyue. He didn’t know why they made such a request, but it was good for him nonetheless.
If Su Group could cooperate with LK Group, the profits he could make was much more than the dividend for the shares he gave to Su Ziyue.
“Why must it be me?” Su Ziyue held the contract in her hand tightly, looking a little thoughtful.
Although it was rather new in the country, the capabilities of LK Group was evident to all.
Some time ago, she heard that the president of LK Group had returned to China, but she did not expect that they would find a domestic company for cooperation.
Su Ziyue believed that LK Group had a lot of options when it came to finding a company to cooperate. Why did they pick Su Group? What’s more, why did they request for me to be in charge? Something fishy is going on.
“Come back to work tomorrow. If you can secure the cooperation with LK Group earlier, the company can benefit sooner; I believe you understand it very well too. Otherwise, the time you spent studying abroad in the past few years will be a waste.”
Su Youcheng unilaterally made the decision for her without giving her a chance to back out.
This reminded Su Ziyue of the reason why she was sent abroad; looking at Su Youcheng coldly, she didn’t say anything else.
She thought that Su Youcheng had another purpose, but she didn’t expect that it was for this reason. Why do the people in LK Group specifically want me?
Not only was Su Youcheng curious, she too was curious herself. Therefore, she did not refute what Su Youcheng had said.
However, she still made a request. “I want An Xia to be my assistant.”
She didn’t trust others.
“No problem.” Su Youcheng glanced at her and nodded in response.
…
Early the next morning, Su Ziyue reported to the company on time.
What happened yesterday spread quickly in the company. Everyone knew that Miss Ziyue, who suddenly stopped working after having worked for a few days, was asked to come back again.
This time, Su Youcheng personally took her to the Project Department instead of being sent away in a casual manner.
“Ziyue is the person in charge of the cooperation with LK Group. If she has any needs, everyone should act in concert with her. Should there be any questions, just ask the manager.”
Su Youcheng left after the short announcement.
“Ziyue!”
Su Ziyue turned around and caught sight of An Xia.
Su Ziyue smiled and walked toward her, who hurriedly leaned in and said in a low voice, “Why is your grandfather so kind to you all of a sudden?”
“Don’t worry about him—I got the shares back. Happy working together!” Su Ziyue stretched out a hand toward An Xia; An Xia shook her hand with a smile and poked her waist.
After the greeting, the two went into action. “The people at LK Group are very efficient; they have already made an appointment for the first meeting, which will be this morning.”
“Where is the location for the meeting?”
“At LK Group, of course.” LK Group had branches in China.
Su Ziyue nodded. “Let’s get ready, and we’ll go there in a bit.”
After the two were ready, they went to LK Group.
LK Group was indeed a leader in the European financial industry; even the building of its branch looked extremely magnificent.
“Hi, I’m Su Ziyue from Su Group. I have been invited by your company to discuss our cooperation.” Su Ziyue handed out her business card at the front desk.
The receptionist was very enthusiastic. “Hi, Miss Su. Someone will come and take you up soon.”
As expected, Su Ziyue and An Xia didn’t have to wait long before someone came down to take them up.
The person was wearing a high-end and well-fitted suit, giving the impression of being the secretary of the president. “The president is waiting for you; please come with me.”
Baffled, Su Ziyue and An Xia looked at each other. Why does the president of LK Group seem to be looking forward to their cooperation?
The secretary led them to the door of the president’s office and pushed open the door. “Please come in!”
Walking in, Su Ziyue immediately saw the man sitting at the desk; she took a glance and quickly backed out.
An Xia asked her, “What’s wrong?”
“I think we may be in the wrong place. Let’s go back.”
However, it was too late; a man’s clear and pleasant voice was heard saying from behind her, “Su Ziyue!”
