After hearing Su Wanyue's words, Liu Feixue let out a sigh of relief.
"That's true. Jiang Hong Group has been so provocative. If we, Su Group, keep tolerating them, we won't earn their respect."
Su Wanyue closed her eyes and said:
"The crisis facing the Su family is not as simple as it appears."
"Look at my uncles, aunts, and cousins. See how they're dealing with the outside forces attacking Su Group?"
"Jiang Hong Group's assets and strength are much weaker than ours, yet they dare to bully Su Group. It's truly laughable."
"They're just relying on the Wu family's influence," Liu Feixue said angrily.
Su Wanyue took a deep breath and sighed:
"Yes, they're telling us that they're the most important leverage on the scale. If the Su family doesn't withdraw from this bid, Jiang Hong Group will form an alliance with the Wu family and target Su Group together."
"If that happens, we'll be doomed."
"However, Su Group won't just give up on the Jiangzhou Hospital bid."
"Jiang Hong Group's rise won't last long."
This move could be the key to saving Su Group, and Su Wanyue couldn't let it slip.
As mentioned before, Su Group and the Wu family were evenly matched.
Su Group owned more land, while the Wu family controlled more properties.
To turn the tables, Su Wanyue knew that the most feasible investment was to expand the company's construction capabilities.
Most real estate companies outsource the construction of their buildings to highly specialized construction firms.
But Su Wanyue was unwilling to back down. She wanted to bring construction in-house and offer a one-stop service.
By leveraging Su Group's more advantageous land business, she could speed up the construction of high-rise buildings and surpass the Wu family.
Without construction capabilities, the Wu family could monopolize all the real estate, even if Su Group owned more land.
At this point, everyone should understand.
Jiang Hong Group is the largest construction company in Jiangzhou.
Jiangzhou Hospital, being the largest hospital in the area, is planning to build a hospital complex worth at least 1 billion yuan.
Such a large project is critical for Su Group.
Given Su Group's greater strength, if they entered the bid, Jiang Hong Group would have nothing to gain.
That's why they're showing off their power, threatening Su Group.
If Su Group dares to enter the bid, Jiang Hong Group will ally with the Wu family and escalate their attack on Su Group.
Su Wanyue sat back in her chair behind the desk, closing her eyes, not opening them for a long time.
Meanwhile, in the simple office of the Security Department, everyone was discussing.
"Damn, our new head is really something. He actually dared to hit Manager Wang in front of Su!"
"Yeah, you don't know how badly Manager Wang looked when he went downstairs, his face covered in blood."
"Do you think our new head has a military background? He's so tough."
Zhang Jun sneered:
"With his looks, he's not fit to be in the army. He's got no brains. By now, he's probably been fired."
Liu Biao smugly said:
"Once he's fired, Su will surely pick a new head between Zhang Jun and me."
"Don't you know what you should be doing right now?"
The others looked at each other, confused.
At this moment, Su Qing walked in coldly and said:
"Don't worry, I have the authority to fire a lousy security guard. I'm not just the project manager; I'm also a shareholder of Su Group."
"As a shareholder, you can't even get rid of a security guard?"
"Minister Su is here! That's great!" Zhang Jun said, walking up to her.
Su Qing smiled and said:
"From now on, let Zhang Jun be the head."
Liu Biao immediately looked bitter, protesting:
"Why, Miss Su?"
"Because you're not as handsome as him."
Liu Biao: "......"
At that moment, Chen Tian walked in, smiling:
"What's all the commotion about?"
"Chen Tian, as a shareholder, I'm telling you, you're fired."
"Get out of here."
Chen Tian rolled his eyes and walked around them.
"Are you deaf? Get out of the company now, or I'll have to throw you out," Su Qing said angrily.
Chen Tian glanced at her dismissively:
"My salary's not coming from you. Whether you fire me or not, what does that have to do with me?"
"Hmph, it has nothing to do with you, but just wait."
Su Qing dialed a number with an expression of disdain.
Soon, Liu Feixue came in, asking in confusion:
"Miss Su, is there something you need?"
"Do you know that I'm a shareholder of Su Group?" Su Qing asked.
Liu Feixue smiled and said:
"Of course, everyone in the Su family is a shareholder."
"Now, I'm telling you to get Chen Tian out of this company. Go tell Su Wanyue," Su Qing said, furious.
Liu Feixue awkwardly said:
"Uh, Mr. Chen is a contract employee of Su, so he's not under company rules."
"What? What does that mean?" Su Qing asked in shock.
Liu Feixue patiently explained:
"It means that Mr. Chen is personally hired by Su Wanyue, and no one in the company, not even the board of directors, has the right to fire him."
"Because his salary is deducted from Su Wanyue's personal account, do you understand now?"
"What? What?" Su Qing was completely stunned.
The security guards in the room were also shocked, staring wide-eyed.
Salary deducted from Su Wanyue's account? What did that mean?
Su Qing immediately fell silent, deeply realizing something.
This operation was quite extraordinary. She had never seen anything like it.
But the reason was simple: before Chen Tian came, Su Wanyue had known that even she didn't approve of him, let alone the rest of the Su family.
But because she had promised her grandfather, and in order to prevent her uncles from finding an excuse to kick Chen Tian out, she had made secret arrangements.
Even if Chen Tian caused trouble in the company, since he was personally hired by Su Wanyue, the board couldn't fire him.
This was because Chen Tian's salary wasn't paid by the company; it was from Su Wanyue's personal account.
She did this to fulfill her promise to her grandfather and keep him from being upset.
"Hmph, Su Wanyue has really gone crazy."
Su Qing had no choice but to leave angrily.
Liu Feixue glanced at Chen Tian with some curiosity.
He looked gentle, not muscular, but the strength he had shown earlier was really impressive!
"Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Chen," Liu Feixue said, then left.
The office of the Security Department fell silent.
Everyone was staring at Chen Tian.
The incident where he hit Manager Wang had spread throughout the company like wildfire, and it was a shocking event for them.
But they hadn't expected that not only was Chen Tian a "connected person," but his relationship with Su Wanyue was also quite deep.
"Head Chen, let me get you some water," one of the more astute security guards said, starting to flatter him.
They rushed to massage his back, get him water, and even offer him cigarettes, all eager to please him.
Zhang Jun and Liu Biao looked at each other, stunned.
At this moment, they felt like their faces had been slapped hard.
They had been so sure that Chen Tian had messed up and would be fired.
It turned out they had been wrong.
Chen Tian had been personally arranged by Su Wanyue, and his connections were much stronger than they had thought. How could they fire him?
Their dreams of becoming the head were shattered.
But they were even more jealous and angry inside.
Why would someone as ordinary as Chen Tian be favored by Su Wanyue?
