I was forced to start the second round because I was raised in poverty

Chapter 420 She used me to boost her resume!
Chestnut Capital.

Long Ruoli confronted Su Cheng aggressively.

She came to collect a debt.

"Mr. Long, what's the rush? We haven't paid the refund yet."

"Did you make any money?"

"Making money."

"You're not going to make any money. The market has crashed like this, how are you going to make any money?"

"The market may have fallen, but I didn't lose money."

Long Ruoli: ? ? ?

The group's fleet suffered huge losses, how could Su Cheng not have suffered losses?

Long Ruoli has actually made a fortune during this period.

She gained the old man's trust, which was her greatest prize.

But then again.

Upgrading to K1 is upgrading to K1.

Investment is investment.

It's two different things.

This should not be confused with matters like group ownership or inheritance.

She gave Su Cheng money and let Su Cheng act as her agent; this was purely a business investment.

How much money she can line her own pocket using the power she wields is another matter entirely.

Long Ruoli is now Su Cheng's sugar daddy.

It's normal for a client to inquire about financial losses, right?

You have to understand that this two billion is her hard-earned money!
She couldn't just casually toss it to Su Cheng.

"Didn't you take my money and buy an office building in the science park last time?"

"correct."

"Then how come you didn't lose money?"

Su Cheng's logic was: "President Long, you don't understand, do you? If we don't sell, we're not actually losing money."

Long Ruoli: ? ? ?

Who the hell taught you this set of tricks to fool kids?

Not selling means you don't lose money...

Isn't this just burying one's head in the sand?

The market doesn't care whether you sell or not; the asset is simply not worth that price anymore.

If you don't sell, how many years will it take for the price to recover? Isn't that the same as being stuck with a stock?

Su Cheng is really stubborn, even more so than his father.

Long Ruoli directly told Su Cheng that she wanted to take back the investment.

She accepted whatever losses she incurred.

"President Long, please wait a moment while I calculate it for you."

Su Cheng picked up the calculator and pressed the C/E key twice: Reset, reset!
He muttered the data on the books under his breath, his fingers rapidly pressing keys on the calculator, finally arriving at a number.

Su Cheng turned the calculator around to show Long Ruoli: [56981750.22]

"More than 50 million left?"

"Losing so much money??"

"No, Mr. Long, there should be another symbol in front of it."

What symbol?

"I meant there's a negative sign. You misheard. It's negative five hundred and sixty-eight thousand and seven hundred and fifty yuan."

"I'll waive the odd amount for you, Mr. Long. Just give me 57 million."

Long Ruoli was completely stunned.

No, bro.

Is this how you calculate things?
She was supposed to give 5700 million out of 5698 million?

Is this called "waiving the odd amount"?
Also...

Why is it a negative number?!

She gave Su Cheng a whopping 20 billion yuan!
Long Ruoli had already thought it through before she came. She would accept losing half of her principal as long as she could recover 10 billion yuan.

But Su Cheng calculated a negative number for her, leaving Long Ruoli speechless.

“My calculations were correct, Mr. Long. Let me explain it to you.”

"The 5698 figure doesn't even include channel fees, transaction fees, or interest rates. Our interest is calculated on a daily basis."

The building that Long Ruoli bought with her money was mortgaged and then mortgaged again by Su Cheng, resulting in a loan of approximately 150 billion.

The interest alone would amount to tens of thousands a day, certainly far exceeding 5700 million.

That's why Su Cheng said to waive the difference.

Long Ruoli didn't want to discuss the tens of thousands of yuan with Su Cheng, since Su Cheng had already calculated her accounts to be in the negative.

So she didn't earn a single penny, and now she has to pay out over 50 million more?
"If I don't recover the funds, would I still need to spend over 50 million?"

"Of course, Mr. Long, I was just about to ask you for this money."

Long Ruoli: ? ? ?

This kid.

How can he be even more shameless than his father?

The principal of 20 billion was turned into a negative number.

How dare they shamelessly ask her for money again?

How dare you!

Long Ruoli simply gave up on getting her money back, and now she was even being asked to pay out of her own pocket.

"You promised me 100 billion before, how are you going to earn that 100 billion?"

"Of course! Mr. Long, if you transfer another 5700 million to me, I can continue making money."

Long Ruoli: ? ? ?

Row.

She probably knows.

This kid probably pocketed all her money.

This 5700 million thing is clearly Su Cheng trying to extort money from her again!

"Are you sick or am I sick?"

"The remaining value of the assets has all been used to pay interest, so if I give you 57 million, it's still zero."

"I don't care, anyway you owe me 100 billion."

Su Cheng: ???
How did they come up with a debt of 100 billion?

He doesn't acknowledge this debt.

"Mr. Long, I don't owe you anything!"

"If you don't add this money, it will be zero; if you do, it won't be zero anymore."

Long Ruoli: ? ? ?

"So, Mr. Long, are you going to invest more?"

Long Ruoli decisively refused, wanting to cut her losses: "I won't add any more."

Consider the 20 billion as a sunk cost; we've learned a lesson.

You can't trust anything the Su family says, you can't even touch them.

If she had known earlier that it would be a waste of money, she wouldn't have asked Su Cheng to invest.

But then again.

She had already believed Su Cheng's nonsense and knew that she might lose money if she hired someone else to do it herself.

Because she will most likely allocate her assets according to the configuration of the Emperor Group's fleet.

In the end, it was a loss.

But she still doesn't know whether she's really lost money or just pretending.

If there were a real loss, it's impossible for the value to shrink or evaporate by more than 50%.

Long Ruoli looked at Su Cheng's expression.

tmd!

I guess I didn't lose money.

Su Cheng may have already used some business methods to avoid this risk.

Forget it.

Pull it down.

Consider it pocket money for Su Cheng.

She can go ask Su Cheng's dad for it again.

Anyway, she won't suffer any losses.

Long Ruoli always had to find a way to make up for the money.

Moreover, she also has to make up for the 80 billion yuan in profits that she was originally entitled to.

Su Cheng owes her; she can just get it back from the old man.

With her current position and power within the group, generating 100 billion would be incredibly easy for her.

The old man has become mentally unstable, what does he need so much money for?
what?
Su Cheng's money?

This isn't Su Cheng's money anymore.

Now it's her brother Tianyan's money.

What's wrong with her taking some money from her man's pocket?
As for whether it will be Su Cheng's money in the future... that's uncertain.

There's still more to say about this.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I have something important to tell you."

In the open.

Su Cheng made a lot of money by reselling license plates.

This achievement qualifies as a "success" in the group's advancement program. "Do you have any other plans for the future?"

"If there are no good projects for the time being, the group is currently short-staffed and hopes to transfer you back to the group."

Su Cheng: ???
Should we transfer him back?
Is Daenerys Targaryen hiding something for him?

"Mr. Long, I need to think about this."

Long Ruoli pouted: "What's there to consider? Don't you want to go back to the company?"

?

Of course he didn't want that!

Su Cheng couldn't help but wonder if there was some kind of trap being set for him.
He wouldn't dare to talk nonsense now.

"Mr. Long, of course I want to go back to the group, but I need to think about it because I still have a lot of things to deal with."

Long Ruoli did not demand a direct answer from Su Cheng: "Okay, let's do it after National Day. Give me an answer after National Day, okay?"

"OK."

"Okay, then let's leave it at that for now."

"Okay, Mr. Long, I'll see you off."

After Long Ruoli left, Ye Li, who had been hiding, finally came out.

"she left?"

"gone."

"Why did she come to see you? It's not because she wants that money back, is it?"

"Sister Chestnut, you guessed right. She's definitely here to ask for money. 20 billion is no small amount. She probably earned it through hard work."

"You mean she went through all that trouble to keep your dad company?"

"Uh...that's possible too? That's hard-earned money."

Ye Li felt nauseous at the thought of what Su Cheng meant by using the term "blood and sweat money" in this context: "Pah! Pah! Pah!"

"Did you see the group's announcement? She's been promoted to K1."

Su Cheng: ???
My grass?

Long Ruoli has been promoted to K1?
seriously!
"Why would I lie to you?"

Ye Li directly pulled up the original text of the personnel adjustment update issued by the group's official website.

When Su Cheng saw the announcement, she completely lost her composure.

Not sisters.

You've already upgraded to K1, and you're still asking me for this little bit of money?

The Geely Group only has about a dozen K1s, which are distributed across various continents and are the group's key players.

Even Antarctica is guarded by the K2.

Why the hell is Long Ruoli able to be promoted to K1?
In the strictly regulated Dihao Group, starting from K22, each promotion is no less than starting from scratch.

Su Cheng remembered that Long Ruoli was also a K22 in her previous life.

Ever since she participated in my "poor upbringing" program, her career has skyrocketed.

Lao Tzu's suffering became the place where Long Ruoli was promoted and gilded.

They really benefited from his own success.

Eating two billion yuan worth of dragon meat is really too cheap for her.

This is like riding a rocket.

Ye Li sneered sarcastically, "I don't even want to say, was that a rocket she was riding?"

Su Cheng agreed: "Indeed."

"Your brother is only K2, she's taller than your brother, she's already K1."

As a long-time employee of the group, how could Ye Li not know how valuable this was?

"Your stepmother has taken her gender advantage to the extreme."

"That's hilarious, Sister Chestnut. You understand her, and you understand my dad too."

"Otherwise what? I've already seen through the dragon and your father."

"Oh, really? Can you tell me what it means that she was promoted to K1?" Su Cheng was genuinely confused. "We clearly caused Emperor to lose money, but she was promoted. Why is that?"

Ye Li thought for a moment.

This matter cannot be viewed in isolation from Long's promotion.

"What else did she say besides asking for money?"

Su Cheng answered truthfully, "They said they wanted to transfer me back."

"Back to the company?"

"Correct."

"Go back to where? Which department? Or which subsidiary?"

"They didn't say that, but they promised me a promotion."

"What about the level?"

"They didn't say the specifics, but I'll most likely get promoted."

Is your dad sick?

Su Cheng felt confused... Hadn't he always been quite sick?

"What I mean is, is your dad sick, so you promoted her so she can keep an eye on you?"

???

Ye Li really did remind Su Cheng.

In his previous life, Old Deng suffered from Alzheimer's disease.

Based on the timeline, Old Deng should have contracted it by now, right?

K1 is a level that most people will never be able to achieve in their lifetime.

This level is equivalent to Old Deng having absolute trust in Dragons.

"Oh right, there's something else I forgot to mention."

Su Cheng recounted the phone call Lao Deng had given him.

Ye Li frowned: "That's exactly what your father said?"

"Yes, it was very inexplicable. They asked me to eat steak for no reason."

"Is there a recording of the phone call?"

"No."

What SIM card are you using, China Unicom?

Su Cheng nodded.

"Download an assistant app; it should have voice recording functionality."

"There's no record, only the number, but I'm sure what you just said is right, Sister Chestnut. I guess she's sick."

Otherwise, there would be no reason for me to call him.

There was no background or cause and effect.

It's utterly nonsensical.

The three things—the phone call, the promotion to K1, and the transfer back to the group—may seem unrelated, but they are actually closely connected.

If you look at them together, it's easy to spot the clues.

"Wait a minute, so you mean... your dad has Alzheimer's? And while he was having Alzheimer's episodes, your stepmother tricked him into upgrading to K1?"

Su Cheng felt that this might not be the right way to put it: "I don't think so. She must have been promoted while she was conscious."

This puzzled Ye Li: "Why?"

"If you ask me, Long must have gained my dad's trust, otherwise he wouldn't have promoted her to K1."

Ye Li didn't understand.

What trust...

Su Cheng's father got sick, and then Long was promoted?
What's going on here? Are they entrusting their orphan to someone else?
Wouldn't Long Ruoli be considered a key figure in Su Cheng's father's inner circle?
Su Cheng agreed with Ye Li's line of thought: "You know what, you really think it might be true."

Ye Li had a clear understanding of the situation.

If that's the case, then Su Cheng will have a very difficult time doing things next!

"Didn't you say your dad has a secretary? Where is he? You need to find a way to get in touch with him, otherwise it will be too uncomfortable for you to be stuck here alone."

K1 has almost all the rights of the Geely Group.

Su Cheng will be hampered in everything she wants to do in the future.

K1 has too many permissions.

He was second only to the old man in that position.

The power is limitless.

Su Cheng wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Sister Chestnut, it's not something I can just contact whenever I want. He has to contact me first for me to have that opportunity."

Su Cheng told Ye Li that President Bai had sent him an email during the last exam.

"What did they send?"

"It's a notebook from 04, and it's been a great help."

"But I checked later, and the email was still there, but the account was gone, it had been deleted, and the IP address couldn't be tracked."

Ye Li thought, "If he doesn't contact you, then things will get a bit complicated."

"I feel so too."

Both fell into silence.

Let's put this aside for now.

Thinking about it won't help for now.

He moved on to the next topic: "Sister Chestnut, what about National Day? Are you coming back with me?"

"Sure. Go check on your dad?"

"Yes, we'll definitely go back and investigate him. It'll be much easier with you helping me."

"How about we buy your dad some other appliances, like those small appliances you get as a free gift with phone top-ups or gas stations?"

"Hmm... that might work?"
