331: Show your true colors

It was quite normal for data tampering to occur, but they didn't expect the roots of Yuanli Group's internal structure to be completely rotten.

This situation arose because Yuantu Group's internal investigation wasn't done properly, which was quite disappointing for them.

"This is the only way to handle the tampered data, but I don't know what the final outcome will be?" Gu Qingyan clearly expressed her concerns.

"The method for handling this is very simple, it's not difficult for them." Su Yue clearly explained the minimal impact, saying there would be no worries about future consequences.

Gu Qingyan felt an inexplicable sense of ease at Su Yue's words, as if the matter should indeed be resolved this way.

"Okay, thank you," Gu Qingyan said.

"It's also what I should do," Su Yue said, indicating it was very simple for him, without any difficulty.

At this moment, Gu Qingyan noticed that she and Su Yue were a bit close, and she felt a little nervous, starting to sweat slightly.

Su Yue also kept the distance within a safe range, trying his best to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor.

"Professor Gu, if you have anything else, you can come find me again."

"Okay."

After this exchange, the relationship between the two became more harmonious.

The atmosphere between them was no longer as awkward as before.

Su Yue also felt this atmosphere was good and that they could get along further as colleagues and friends.

According to how things developed before, the contract between Yuantu Group and the e-commerce giant should have progressed to the next step by now, but the current situation is indeed facing some obstacles.

This felt a bit off to Su Yue; things shouldn't be developing this way, otherwise, someone must have made a move.

This was the worst-case scenario; Su Yue sensed something fishy about this matter.

"What do you think?"

Li Haoyang came to Su Yue's office to discuss this matter.

"Originally, the work was progressing very smoothly, but I didn't expect Li Cong to play tricks. They tampered with the equity transfer agreement. If we sign, we might only get a tenth of the profit."

Hearing Li Haoyang say this, Su Yue felt that Li Cong's actions were too underhanded. Indeed, no merchant is completely honest. His own efforts had been wasted.

He hadn't expected that after putting in so much effort for half a day, they would return to the starting point. He felt very unwilling to accept this.

No one had dared to treat him like this before. It seemed he had encountered a formidable opponent this time.

"It seems we've encountered a tough nut to crack this time," Su Yue said.

Li Haoyang was also lost in thought.

After all, the situation had indeed reached a bottleneck here.

But for Su Yue, it wasn't like that. If Li Cong didn't fall for this, he had other plans; these were insignificant to him.

As long as he could achieve his goal, Su Yue still knew what he should do.

"I'll find a way to solve it."

When Su Yue said these words, Li Haoyang's eyes lit up.

"Really? Su Yue, you're truly my living Buddha! What do you plan to do next?" Li Haoyang couldn't help but ask, his tone filled with curiosity.

Su Yue looked at him like that and said lightly, "Don't worry about what happens next, I definitely won't disappoint you."

Su Yue kept them in suspense; they would definitely be greatly surprised after the matter was resolved.

And Su Yue also knew his own strengths, but after learning that Li Cong was playing dirty tricks, he was still a bit disappointed.

He hadn't constantly observed his every move, which was why things had come to this point; he was also a bit disappointed in himself.

This time, Su Yue was putting in his utmost effort; he intended to take this matter to the extreme.

What Li Cong did was wrong, but overthrowing their company was still a very simple matter for Su Yue.

It's just that Li Cong wasn't smart enough in handling this matter.

Whereas Su Yue could handle it better, taking the work to its extreme.

Their company was indeed an e-commerce giant, but in Su Yue's eyes, it was merely a place for transactions.

Moreover, this task, if handed over to someone else, might not necessarily be handled worse than by Li Cong.

Although this wasn't something that could be done overnight for them, none of this was a problem for Su Yue.

Furthermore, Su Yue could also manage the assets he had very well.

It's just that Li Cong didn't seize this opportunity.

Su Yue returned home and opened his computer; lines of red and green appeared on the screen.

This was his method for manipulating Li Cong's company.

Su Yue had a very thorough understanding of the financial investment knowledge within it, and he had also been working in it for many years. Manipulating the life and death of a company was still very easy for them.

It was just that for Li Cong, it was his bad luck to have provoked the wrong person.

Su Yue could change the fate of a company with just a slight movement of the mouse.

When he woke up tomorrow morning, it would be another moment of great change.

Su Yue looked at the results before him and felt very satisfied. This was the outcome of his operations, and everything was done through reasonable and legal means.

It was just that tomorrow, he didn't know how the situation would develop.

He wondered if Li Cong would go crazy, which was also what Su Yue wanted to see. After all, he was the one who showed hostility towards Su Yue first.

"Everyone, look at the news! It's gone crazy, completely crazy!"

Li Cong's company was in chaos, everyone was talking at once.

"How could our company's stock value fall so quickly? It's almost below the average."

"Will our company have problems?"

"Based on past development, our company shouldn't have such problems. After all, we are a leading enterprise in this industry."

"No one can say for sure. Maybe it will be fine tomorrow."

The workers below complained incessantly, feeling their lives were full of hardships. Why would such a thing happen after things had finally been good for a while?

"What should we do?"

"It's okay, even if the sky falls, the Boss will hold it up."

Li Cong was considered the last straw of hope for so many employees, but what they didn't know was that Li Cong was also worrying in his office at that moment.

The moment he received the notification, he knew things were not developing well.

He hadn't expected it to be this bad.

This was an outcome he hadn't anticipated, and he couldn't find the mastermind behind it.

He had no clue at all, he could only think that this was a naturally occurring outcome.

But Li Cong didn't think so.

Furthermore, at this moment, there were also many trolls online digging up things he had done in the past, including fraudulent activities.

If he didn't deal with it in time, relevant departments would definitely intervene.

He was also completely overwhelmed.

And although he had a complete legal department, he didn't know what to do, which was truly disappointing.

Li Cong didn't want such a thing to happen.

And Yuantu Group, of course, also knew about this matter.

Li Haoyang was the first to discover it.

"Su Yue, did you do this?" Li Haoyang asked him directly.

"Don't say that, you can only say that evil people get their just deserts," Su Yue replied calmly.

"But, won't this cause difficulties for our subsequent cooperation? Will there be some unfavorable consequences for us?"

Su Yue shook his head. "Don't worry, I have a sense of propriety in what I do."

Li Haoyang was absolutely 100% confident in what Su Yue did, it was just that the speed at which things reversed was too fast.

To think it would turn out this way, it seemed Su Yue's strength was truly formidable. He felt he should hold onto this powerful connection now.

Su Yue didn't know yet that he would make others covet him in this way.

As expected, Su Yue received a message from Li Cong.

"General Manager Su, when should our cooperation proceed? I think now is a good time for development."

Li Cong spoke very carefully, not showing any sign of panic.

But this was already useless to Su Yue. Li Cong currently had no leverage worth Su Yue doing that.

"Li Zong, I think there are still some issues with our cooperation that require further evaluation. Let's discuss the rest later."

Su Yue spoke broadly; after all, their relationship had now reversed, and Su Yue had no reason to appease Li Cong.

Li Cong didn't know that things would reverse so quickly. After all, for him now, this was his last chance.

If he didn't succeed, he might never recover, and he would also have to bear endless debt.

This was unbearable for anyone.

Li Cong didn't want such an outcome for himself.

And for Su Yue now, what he lacked least was time. For the current Li Cong, there was no way out.

In this industry, Li Cong had no one who could help him. Only Su Yue and his group had the strength to provide assistance.

If Li Cong didn't swallow his pride, he wouldn't succeed.

If he wanted to survive, Li Cong had to beg Su Yue.

Su Yue found it very amusing to see Li Cong unable to swallow his pride like this. After all, just a while ago, he had deceived him into cooperating to gain huge profits.

Although he showed an intention to cooperate, it didn't mean he would let others manipulate him at will.

He wouldn't do that. It could only be said that Li Cong had run into his gun.

Su Yue had his own bottom line, and nothing could break it.

"General Manager Su, do you have time now? I'm already downstairs at your company. Can we have a discussion? We've come with the utmost sincerity."

This time, Li Cong spoke very politely, and Su Yue was very satisfied.

If he had shown such an attitude earlier, the subsequent events wouldn't have had to happen. All of this was his own doing, the result of his arrogance and conceit.

"Okay, Li Zong, we'll wait for you in the conference room," Su Yue replied politely.

Li Cong finally swallowed his pride and begged Su Yue.

When they met in the conference room, the atmosphere was not very harmonious.

Su Yue could clearly feel it.

And the Li Cong before him seemed to have aged several years, with a few white hairs sprouting and a scruffy beard, looking completely different from the spirited appearance he had seen on the court.

Su Yue clearly felt that Li Cong had aged.

"General Manager Su, you're here," Li Cong said with a fawning smile towards Su Yue.

"Come, please sit," Su Yue acted very openly, as if this matter wasn't something he had done.

"Okay, okay. Then General Manager Su, let's get straight to the point now," Li Cong said impatiently.

Su Yue nodded, carrying the authority of a superior, and everyone around felt the pressure.

This time, Li Cong came in person, not choosing his own employees. It seemed he had come with the greatest sincerity this time.

Su Yue expressed his satisfaction, it seemed his method was effective.

Li Cong was also someone who could adapt. If he could be taken in for his own use, it would also be a good method.

Now it depended on what Su Yue himself was thinking.

During the presentation, Li Cong was busy, seriously explaining the plan he had made, and occasionally observing Su Yue's expression, afraid he had made a mistake somewhere.

This meeting was very long, so long that all the employees felt a bit tired.

But Su Yue didn't think so; his energy was very abundant. He found Li Cong's presented plan very useful and also knew how much profit this plan would bring to his company if implemented.

It seemed Li Cong was really a bit smarter this time. He knew that if he didn't do this, he definitely wouldn't escape.

Su Yue found that if they weren't given a taste of hardship, they wouldn't admit defeat.

Su Yue completely absorbed this plan and felt that the effect of implementing it would definitely be very good.

"Your plan is very good."

Hearing Su Yue say this, the stone hanging in Li Cong's heart finally fell.

Su Yue's every move held their lifeline. They didn't dare to make any unexpected moves; this was a good restraint for them.

Su Yue was very willing to see such a situation.

"This plan can be done this way, but can you accept such a result?"

The result Su Yue mentioned was a nine-to-one split, with Yuantu Group getting nine.

This would bring no profit to Li Cong's company; they could only maintain their existing assets. However, this was also the greatest benefit for them.

Because this would allow them to preserve their existing assets.

But in reality, their assets were also being transferred step by step under Su Yue's methods.

Counting it, it wouldn't take too much time before Su Yue would control more shares and more real power in the e-commerce giant.

It was equivalent to Li Cong working himself to the bone for Su Yue, and the profit he himself would get would be very little.

Moreover, if Li Cong knew the outcome was like this, he couldn't have any complaints, because he knew that if he didn't follow Su Yue's plan, he might not have any chance to recover and would be doomed forever.

Li Cong expressed great regret.
