Chapter 026: A Disappointing Start
After hearing Lin Fan's words, Su Ruowei felt more at ease, but the cooperation with Shancheng Group still felt like a dream.
When they returned home that evening, Su Ruowei and Lin Fan stepped through the door together.
Upon seeing this scene, Shen Yunlan started nagging again, this time not only criticizing Lin Fan, but also dragging Su Ruowei into it.
"Where have you two been? You left this morning and haven't come back yet!"
After saying that, Shen Yunlan walked towards Su Ruowei and said, "Ruowei, you're becoming more and more useless, getting so close to this good-for-nothing!"
Su Ruowei looked helpless and casually said after changing out of her slippers:
"Mom, don't say that about Lin Fan. He's my husband."
Su Ruowei's words fueled Shen Yunlan's anger, and she pointed at Su Ruowei's nose, saying, "What husband! He's just your bodyguard! Stay away from him from now on. What use is he if you've already lost your job!"
Lin Fan smiled slightly, stepped forward, raised his hand and pressed down, just as Shen Yunlan was pointing at Su Ruowei's hand.
“Ruowei is back at work, and not only that, she’s now the project manager for the collaboration with Shancheng Group,” Lin Fan said.
The next second, Shen Yunlan looked at Su Ruowei with a suspicious expression and asked, "Is what he said true?"
Su Ruowei nodded gently: "That's right, I went to the company today. My grandmother personally asked me to be the project manager."
After saying that, Su Ruowei wanted to go upstairs to rest, but Shen Yunlan grabbed her arm.
"Did the old lady go to your company?"
Su Ruowei said impatiently, "Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, look at the contract right here."
Shen Yunlan looked at the contract Su Ruowei handed him, and when she saw the logo of Shancheng Group, her eyes lit up, and she kept muttering, "My daughter has made something of herself!"
"Do you believe me now?" Su Ruowei shook her head helplessly and continued, "I'm going back to my room to rest. I still need to work on a plan later. I need to go to Shancheng Group again tomorrow to deliver it."
"Go ahead, daughter, don't tire yourself out!" Shen Yunlan said with a smile.
This news was a huge relief for Shen Yunlan. She immediately took a picture of the contract and sent it to the family group chat, not only the Shen family group but also the Su family group chat, although the old lady was not in that group.
The Su family group was created by Su Jianqiang. Originally, it was a tool for him to show off, and he would occasionally make sarcastic remarks about Su Ruowei's family, especially about Lin Fan. Now, it has become a tool for Shen Yunlan to flaunt her power.
After seeing the group message, Su Jianqiang was furious and kept thinking about how to regain his position as the person in charge of the project.
Finally, Su Jianqiang came up with what he thought was a brilliant idea.
In his view, the reason why Shancheng Group was able to cooperate with Su Ruowei was because Su Ruowei was hardworking and had achieved some results that caught the attention of Shancheng Group.
So he decided to fabricate a financial report and show it to the Shancheng Group the next day to prove that he was better than Su Ruowei.
Of course, he hired a professional certified public accountant to fabricate this financial report, making it convincingly fake.
the next day.
Early in the morning, Lin Fan drove Su Ruowei to Shancheng Group. In the parking lot, Lin Fan caught a glimpse of Su Jianqiang approaching the Shancheng Group building.
What is Su Jianqiang doing here?
After Lin Fan stopped the car with a puzzled look on his face, he heard Su Ruowei say, "I'll try to finish the report as quickly as possible, so you won't have to wait too long."
"I'll go with you," Lin Fan said.
Su Ruowei's beautiful eyes flashed, and she teased, "Do you also want to see what the Shancheng Group is like?"
Lin Fan smiled slightly and didn't say anything. He could meet with Su Ruowei whenever he wanted at his own company, but he was worried that Su Jianqiang would persecute her.
After entering the Shancheng Group Building, the two went straight to the 29th floor.
After explaining their purpose to the secretary, Su Ruowei and Lin Fan went to the office of the head of the building materials department.
Upon entering the office, I saw Su Jianqiang chatting happily with the person in charge.
Before Lin Fan and Su Ruowei arrived, Su Jianqiang had already shown the person in charge the falsified financial statements, which were full of his various achievements in the construction industry and the financial statements of the major projects he had undertaken.
Song Xu, the person in charge of the building materials project of Shancheng Group, was really fooled by the fake report. Although Gao Xuan had instructed him to cooperate with Su Ruowei, it now seemed that Su Jianqiang was more capable than Su Ruowei.
Logically speaking, Shancheng Group shouldn't need to designate a specific partner for a small project, especially since Su Jianqiang and Su Ruowei are both members of the Su family, and the project has already been given to the Su family.
After listening to Su Jianqiang's explanation, Song Xu also began to question whether Gao Xuan's talk of cooperating with Su Ruowei referred to the Su family.
Su Jianqiang also brainwashed Song Xu, first expressing his gratitude for the opportunity to cooperate with the Su family, saying that this opportunity was hard-won because Su Ruowei's efforts had been recognized by the Lin family of Shancheng. But in reality, Su Ruowei was not as capable as she seemed; the real power in the Su family was him.
"I will report this situation truthfully to General Manager Gao," Song Xu said to Su Jianqiang.
Upon hearing this, Su Jianqiang couldn't hide his smile and said eloquently, "Thank you so much, President Song. I believe President Gao will also agree, since both of us hope the cooperation can proceed smoothly!"
At this moment, Su Ruowei walked in with a bewildered look, handed the plan to Song Xu with both hands, and said, "President Song, this is the plan I made. Please take a look. If it is acceptable, I will proceed with this plan."
As Su Ruowei spoke, she would glance at Su Jianqiang from time to time, wondering what he was doing there.
Song Xu took the proposal, casually placed it on the table, and said:
"Let's put the plan on hold for now. Just wait for further notice."
Upon hearing this, Su Ruowei frowned and took a few steps back with an embarrassed expression.
Su Jianqiang walked up to Su Ruowei with a smile and whispered, "You're still too green to fight me. You think Shancheng Group really has your eye on you? Stop dreaming. Go cool off somewhere else!"
Su Ruowei's palms were sweating profusely. She tentatively asked Song Xu, "President Song, didn't we have a very pleasant talk yesterday? Why is it like this today?"
“There are new developments today, and I need to reconsider our cooperation,” Song Xu said politely.
As soon as Song Xu finished speaking, Su Jianqiang looked at Su Ruowei with a smug expression, and then suddenly noticed Lin Fan standing at the door.
Suddenly, Su Jianqiang had another idea.
"Ruowei, why did you bring your live-in son-in-law along? Is this your sincerity in discussing cooperation with President Song?" Su Jianqiang continued with a look of disgust.
“Our entire Su family attaches great importance to our cooperation with President Song. Grandma appointed you as the person in charge because she values your hard work. But instead, you’re taking this opportunity to bring this good-for-nothing to broaden his horizons?”
Song Xu's expression underwent a subtle change, clearly influenced by Su Jianqiang's words.
“Ms. Su, I didn’t expect you to be so unimportant about this collaboration. In that case, I don’t think there’s any need to look at the proposal!” Song Xu said.
