Reborn through an arranged marriage, I awakened the Shennong farming system.
Chapter 64: Cross-cutting
Su Yangxia's successful negotiation of several collaborative projects caught Su Chengjun completely off guard; he knew nothing about it until the company announced it! Su Chengjun realized that if he didn't achieve something soon, Su Shengrong might really abandon him. So, upon returning to his office, Su Chengjun immediately sent a message to Su Mo, urging her to expedite arrangements for his meeting with Young Master Gu.
It doesn't matter if I don't get in touch with Li Chengtian. His projects are excellent. As long as Young Master Gu is willing to cooperate with him, helping him regain his manager position is a piece of cake.
As for reaching the same level as Su Yangxia, Su Chengjun has another trump card.
Opening his phone's contacts, Su Chengjun found Fu Fei's number and dialed it directly.
After two beeps, the call was answered, and Su Chengjun quickly put on a smiling face and said, "President Fu, this is Su Chengjun. How have you considered the matters we discussed before? Su's Group is very sincere, and President Fu can completely trust me."
Fu Fei was in a meeting with his employees discussing whether to move the company to a shop under Su Bai's name. Before they could reach a decision, the phone rang. Fu Fei saw that it was Su Chengjun calling. After thinking for a moment, he finally answered.
Before he could even speak after the call connected, he heard Su Chengjun's insincere words, which gave him goosebumps.
Shaking off the goosebumps, Fu Fei stood tall and said to Su Chengjun, "I'm sorry, Mr. Su, we've already found investors. We've let you down."
"What! Who is it?" Su Chengjun shouted. He had been watching Fu Fei and his project for almost a year, and they were about to reap the rewards. Who could have interfered and stolen his trump card?
Su Chengjun's voice was so loud that Fu Fei subconsciously moved the phone away. He only picked it up again after the other end of the line went silent. "I'm sorry, I cannot disclose this information."
Fu Fei wasn't stupid. Besides, it was written in novels that there were the most filthy things in wealthy families. He didn't want the investor he had finally found to run into trouble.
Su Chengjun clenched his fists, suppressing his surging anger, and said kindly, "President Fu, things have come to this point, and I should have given up, but I truly have high hopes for you all, and I want to try again! President Fu, you must believe that the conditions offered by the Su Group are absolutely the best, and the Su Group's strength is undeniable. Cooperating with the Su Group is a win-win situation." Su Chengjun was betting that the investor who had interfered hadn't signed a contract with Fu Fei and his team yet, since he genuinely hadn't heard a thing. "President Fu, would you like to reconsider?"
"No need, we've already signed the contract." Fu Fei delivered a fatal blow to Su Chengjun without any mercy. Having a powerful backer is certainly advantageous, but for small fry like them against a behemoth, there's absolutely no chance of victory.
After saying that, Fu Fei hung up the phone, while Su Chengjun's veins bulged as he listened to the busy tone on his phone.
With a loud 'bang,' Su Chengjun kicked the wall hard, and the next second he cried out in pain, clutching his leg.
"Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!" Su Chengjun was even angrier after hurting himself instead of venting his anger. He looked around but couldn't find anything to vent on, so he smashed his phone on the ground. He only calmed down a little after seeing the phone shatter into pieces on the ground.
Has he been cursed lately? One unlucky thing after another has happened to him.
Fu Fei and the game he developed were Su Chengjun's trump card that he had kept hidden for a long time. In order to keep Su Yangxia from finding out, he did everything very carefully. It was basically certain that no one else in the Su family knew about it except himself.
But now that the project he had just secured had been snatched away, Su Chengjun was furious. "Don't let me find out who you are! Otherwise..." A murderous glint flashed in Su Chengjun's eyes.
Clutching his aching leg, Su Chengjun sat down in a chair and made a phone call on the landline. "Help me find out who invested in Fu Fei?"
After hanging up the phone, Su Chengjun felt as if he were standing on the edge of a cliff. His only two trump cards had inexplicably been taken away, and his current situation was truly dire.
After thinking it over, Su Chengjun felt it was necessary to finalize the cooperation with Young Master Gu as soon as possible. There was always something going on if things dragged on, and Su Chengjun was determined not to make the same mistake again.
Su Chengjun picked up the receiver to call Su Mo, but stopped after dialing just three numbers. He realized he didn't remember Su Mo's number!
Glancing at the shattered phone lying on the ground, Su Chengjun couldn't help but curse a few more times before making a call to a team member, "I need a new phone within an hour."
The team members who received Su Chengjun's call were very confused. He was here to work, not to run errands!
But Su Chengjun was now his direct superior, so even if he was unwilling, he had no choice but to make this errand. However... the team member's eyes darted around, and under the questioning gazes of the other team members, he directly knocked on Su Chengjun's office door.
"Go in!" Su Chengjun was still angry, so his tone was naturally not very good, which made the other group members shrink back.
But this didn't include the team member who knocked on the door. He pushed the door open and walked straight up to Su Chengjun without closing it: "Team Leader Su, what brand of phone do you want to buy?"
Su Chengjun thought it was something serious, but he didn't expect it to be just asking about a phone model. His face immediately darkened. "The latest model from Banana Brand."
"Okay." The team member smiled and agreed, then spread his hands out, palms up.
"What do you mean?" Su Chengjun didn't understand. After knowing what kind of phone he wanted, why wasn't he hurrying over? Was he standing there like a doorman? Or did he think the phone had wings and would fly over by itself?
The team member's smile remained unchanged as he said calmly, "Money! How can we buy it if we don't have money? I'm just a newbie at work, and I can't afford the latest Banana brand phone."
Upon hearing this, Su Chengjun's face instantly darkened, but the hand outstretched in front of him remained motionless, as if he wouldn't leave until he got the money. Left with no other option, Su Chengjun took out his wallet and gave the other person a card, because he didn't have enough cash on him.
The team member was all smiles after receiving the card, and before leaving, he promised to buy the phone back within the time limit set by Su Chengjun, leaving Su Chengjun unable to say anything to blame him.
Half an hour later, the team member returned with the new phone, handing it to Su Chengjun along with the receipt and credit card. "Team leader, here's the phone you requested."
Su Chengjun told his team members to put their things down and leave, only starting to work on the project after the door closed. After leaving, the team members received a unanimous thumbs-up from the others; such a courageous approach to work was truly admirable for a newcomer!
After reinserting the SIM card, Su Chengjun found Su Mo's number and dialed it directly.
After the call connected, Su Chengjun asked directly, "How did it go? Has the time for meeting with Young Master Gu been confirmed?"
Su Mo snorted and then said angrily, "Meeting again! Su Chengjun, let me tell you, you've really ruined my life!" Su Mo knew that Su Yangxia had recently closed several projects, so after receiving the message from Su Chengjun, she was afraid that Su Chengjun would do something desperate, so she immediately called Gu Dashao to test him.
Unexpectedly, Young Master Gu fell silent upon hearing her words, and then directly told her that this was not something she should care about! Su Mo knew something was wrong as soon as she heard this, and immediately tried to explain, but Young Master Gu clearly did not want to hear her explanation and hung up the phone directly.
Su Mo was both anxious and angry. She didn't even care about shopping anymore. She found a quiet place and started calling Young Master Gu. She had to tell him that she was innocent and that she didn't want to interfere in the company's affairs.
But Young Master Gu didn't want to talk to her at all. When Su Mo made her third call, he blocked her. No matter how many times Su Mo called, the phone was always switched off. Su Mo was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.
Just as he was about to take a taxi to Gu's company to find Gu's eldest son, Su Chengjun called.
Upon hearing Su Mo's tone, Su Chengjun knew she hadn't succeeded and immediately retorted sarcastically, "What else can you do besides acting? Is your brain useless? It's been so long, and you still haven't captured Young Master Gu's heart!" If Su Mo had half of Su Bai's abilities, why wouldn't Young Master Gu agree?
"What did you say!" Su Mo was furious. She had only ended up like this because she was trying to help Su Chengjun, and yet Su Chengjun dared to blame her for being useless. "If you're so capable, why don't you stop relying on me! Su Chengjun, don't forget we're in the same boat." If she pushed him too far, they might as well both suffer.
Upon hearing this, Su Chengjun was stunned. Su Mo still had some use to her, and now was not a good time to break ties with her. He quickly apologized, "I was just talking nonsense in anger, Fourth Sister, please don't mind me, I apologize! I really need to meet with Young Master Gu, can you see if you can think of another way?"
"What else can I do?" Su Mo rolled her eyes. Young Master Gu is very guarded and has no shortage of women. The fact that she has been able to walk in Beicheng for so long as Young Master Gu's fiancée is already quite an achievement. If she really wants to get into Young Master Gu's heart, it will take a lot of time and planning.
Before meeting Hua Gengchen, Su Mo would definitely have focused all her attention on Young Master Gu, but now, Su Mo would not be willing to do so.
"Fourth Sister, you are a woman!" Su Chengjun stopped there. He was a man, so he knew that men thought with their lower bodies. As long as Su Mo handled things properly, everything should be easy for her.
Su Mo instantly understood Su Chengjun's meaning, but she didn't really want to; she couldn't break the persona she had worked so hard to create.
"I understand, just wait for news!" She had to do things that fit the persona she had created.
"Okay." Su Chengjun responded excitedly, but still emphasized, "Try to be as fast as possible." He was really fed up with being constantly suppressed by Su Yangxia.
Su Mo replied impatiently, "I know!" If it weren't for Su Chengjun, she wouldn't have angered Young Master Gu. Now she has to go to great lengths to please him, which makes Su Mo very disgusted.
After hanging up the phone, Su Mo gave up shopping and went to the supermarket to buy a lot of vegetables and fruits. Then she went home to change into a more elegant outfit before heading to the Gu family home with her purchases.
