My Life with Narration-Chapter 254 - 253: Hopefully Your Company Won’t Collapse as Quickly as You Do!

Chapter 254: Chapter 253: Hopefully Your Company Won’t Collapse as Quickly as You Do!

The people of the Su Family are naturally rebellious, whether it’s him, Su He, or even the elder Su, they all have a rebellious streak.

His mom, Zhou Hui, used to say that back in the day, his dad often went against his grandfather, and even becoming the first university student in the village was a result of his rebelliousness.

Of course, in the end, Shen Yi didn’t spend any money; she easily bribed Su He with concert tickets, telling her to report any information anytime in the future.

Fortunately, she didn’t really take Shen Yi’s words back, otherwise Su Qing was sure his mom Zhou Hui would rush over immediately, have a chat with Shen Yi, and discuss marriage matters.

Su He was satisfied, Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief, Shen Yi felt her position was temporarily secure, all three were satisfied, and mom Zhou Hui’s plan died before it even started.

In the evening, Su Qing was driving Shen Yi’s Mercedes on the road.

In the car, Su Qing wasn’t wearing a suit, but his clothes were quite appropriate, personally arranged by Shen Yi, who wore her usual elegant and poised long dress.

Soon, their car stopped in front of a luxury restaurant.

"I’ll go first, I’ll message you in a bit!" Shen Yi adjusted her dress and smiled at him.

"Okay, see you in a bit!"

"Mm!"

With that, Shen Yi gracefully got out of the car and walked towards the restaurant.

Watching Shen Yi’s back, Su Qing couldn’t help but squint his eyes.

Before they came, Shen Yi already told him that Xu Feng would be here too, and knowing that he didn’t like such formal occasions, she arranged for him to be part of the later segment.

Also, through their chat, he found out that even Shen Yi expected some unexpected incidents tonight, fearing Xu Feng might act desperately, so she called him over.

As for the first half, it was naturally about wrapping up the collaboration.

Not long after, about an hour later, Shen Yi messaged him, telling him to come in.

In response, he quickly got out of the car and followed the directions on the phone, led by a staff member, he opened a room door.

The room was large but only had three people, Shen Yi, Xu Feng, and a woman with heavy makeup snuggled next to Xu Feng.

However, looking at the tableware and seats, it was obvious that there were at least three more people here before, and at this moment, Shen Yi only had a slight redness on her face, looking quite sober and fine.

As soon as he entered, Xu Feng’s gaze fixed on him, somewhat sharp, even a bit jealous.

"Why call someone irrelevant into our matter?" Xu Feng said blandly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi chuckled lightly: "We’ve finished the serious talk, I need someone to take me home, don’t I? Besides, didn’t you bring someone too?"

As soon as she finished, the woman next to Xu Feng widened her eyes: "What do you mean, who are you calling irrelevant!"

To this, Su Qing laughed lightly: "Why do I feel like you’re about to start a fight, is the discussion not going smoothly?"

Saying that, he directly walked over and sat next to Shen Yi, ignoring the two’s intentions. Even if he were polite, he wouldn’t warm up to their cold attitudes.

If they didn’t respect him, why should he give them face?

"Not really, just someone trying to stop us from leaving!" Shen Yi glanced at Xu Feng and the woman, smiling.

"Oh, is there still illegal detention these days? I should take a good look, so as not to report to the police and catch the wrong people later."

The two teased back and forth, completely ignoring the woman, making her face turn green and white with anger.

"Shen Yi, isn’t it meaningless to say so much? You can’t handle President Wang’s order, we are just partners, trying to make a living, surely you understand the idea of sharing profits, why do you have to be so ruthless? Working together would be great!" Xu Feng said blandly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi chuckled, then shook her head: "Sure, you saw the contract just now, just bring out the money for however much you want. Expecting all the profit without investment, what kind of business works that way?"

"I already said, I’ll provide the channels, you provide the funds, and we’ll split the profits 50-50," Xu Feng replied blandly.

"And then I take all the risk while you just take the profit?"

"Don’t say it so harshly; we’ve been working together for so long. When have I ever taken advantage of you? It’s been mutually beneficial," Xu Feng said calmly, seemingly unafraid that Shen Yi might refuse.

"Then I’m afraid I can’t comply. I’m in business, not charity."

Hearing this, Xu Feng took a sip of his drink and laughed softly, "If that’s the case, I can no longer supply you with goods. Your business department had quite a volume of work last month. I wonder if you can afford the breach penalty."

As expected, Shen Yi’s expression flickered slightly, but she still chuckled:

"Are you threatening me? You should know my temper! The physical business is just one part of my company. If pushed to the limit, I could simply stop, and as for the penalty, I can afford it!"

Su Qing listened on the side, utterly bewildered. He could understand every word they said, but he couldn’t make sense of the whole conversation.

He knew that Shen Yi’s company primarily focused on internet operations, but it also had some offline industries—affordable luxury, niche luxury goods, and even its own exclusive brand. Xu Feng’s company must be in the physical industry; otherwise, he wouldn’t be using such tactics.

"It’s not a threat, but I hope you’ll consider my proposal seriously. I have some of your company’s orders here, quite substantial, but the price... it can’t be the same as before... Of course, you could sue me, and I wouldn’t need to do anything but stall for a while. Then we can discuss it again."

Hearing this, Shen Yi’s face turned completely dark: "It seems you’ve been working hard on my end. I thought getting rid of some interest-driven people would improve things, but now it seems you’ve been offering quite a bit of kickback."

They were both clever; as soon as Xu Feng said this, she realized where the problem lay. The business department people had taken a lot of benefits while cooperating with the other side, and the person involved wasn’t just an ordinary employee; otherwise, such a mistake wouldn’t have happened.

She had thought her preparations would be enough to ward off the other’s counterattack, but now it seemed that if things continued, both would incur significant losses.

[Xu Feng was playing with fire. He was trying to use this method to solve his company’s financial issues. In fact, for this plan, his company had already become an empty shell. The funding had broken, and he was relying on the support of a woman by his side. But time was limited, and there were issues with the company’s taxes, and the factories had numerous problems. Just a bit of external force could quickly bankrupt him.]

Upon hearing this, Su Qing’s eyes narrowed slightly. Xu Feng was gambling, betting that Shen Yi would compromise. Even if Shen decided on mutual destruction, he had other channels to sell at a flat price. His company would return to its former state, and he could potentially use the last orders from Shen Yi to raise prices and take one last bite to keep himself afloat. Though not enough for a full recovery, he could still bite off a piece of flesh for survival.

The worst outcome would be selling most of the company’s industries at a low price, with the overall asset value shrinking to less than a tenth, but that was assuming no external interference with his company.

Even Su Qing had to admit Xu Feng’s boldness and intelligence.

In this business confrontation, Su Qing’s influence was very limited, but he could still make the best choice.

Just as Shen Yi was considering making a sacrifice as an interest exchange, Su Qing suddenly spoke up:

"I couldn’t tell before, but Mr. Xu also relies on a sugar mommy. But since you’ve chosen to rely on her, why not exploit it a bit more and have that beauty by your side fill in the company’s gap for you?"

Hearing this, Xu Feng was startled but maintained an expressionless face. He turned to look at him, "And who are you? Do I know you?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

His tone was full of disdain. He had already investigated Su Qing, especially since he once had some interest in Shen Yi. Naturally, he learned about the men around her and knew this was just a recent college graduate with nothing much to his name, not worth any attention.

However, as time passed, he realized the difficulty of winning over Shen Yi, so he chose another path—to deepen his company’s business ties with Shen Yi’s company, making her business entirely dependent on his company.

As for himself, he hadn’t been idle; hadn’t he found a woman with a decent family wealth to talk to? Recently, he had even gotten substantial funds through this woman.

But honestly, this woman was nothing more than a rich girl from a good family. Though she was well-dressed and didn’t lack money to spend, it was impossible for her to control a large amount of her family’s wealth.

She could only lie to her family, saying she wanted to do business, and they provided her with some funds, which she had entirely thrown into Xu Feng’s company, but there was still no trace of it.

What really shocked him was that Su Qing actually knew about the problems in his company, which made him uneasy.

Instead of getting angry at such verbal provocation, Su Qing smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, you naturally don’t remember me, but I remember you—9 seconds 58. Miss, how do you put up with that?"

Upon saying this, the woman instantly seemed to recall something, while Xu Feng’s face turned slightly red. He might not have understood the "9 seconds 58" part but couldn’t ignore the rest, as he did indeed once get mocked by a woman for being too quick.

Thinking back to his first meeting with Su Qing when the latter said the same thing, he now felt a bit uneasy; how did he know this? Why did he know this?

Adding to the fact that the other had pinpointed his company’s internal issues, he felt a chill down his spine.

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Xu Feng stood up, his voice heavy, staring intently at Su Qing.

Next to him, Shen Yi was a bit baffled, but seeing Xu Feng’s reaction made her furious, ready to slam the table and stand up before being held back by Su Qing.

"Just wanted to say hello to Mr. Xu. As for what you mentioned, we’re going back to think it over. Hopefully, your company’s speed won’t match yours!"
