"I did say that," Su Ruowei replied without much thought.
Lin Fan then asked, "She must have said that I should hand over my salary, right?"
Su Ruowei was stunned and didn't know how to answer. It was indeed as Lin Fan said, Lin Fan's salary had to be handed over to Shen Yunlan.
However, Su Ruowei planned to take out a portion of her own salary, pretend it was Lin Fan's salary, and give it to Shen Yunlan, while Lin Fan's share would still be paid.
"Is this some kind of unauthorized action, an attempt to take a portion of your salary and pretend it's yours to hand over?" Lin Fan asked seriously.
Looking out the car window at the passing roadside trees, Su Ruowei said softly, "This is my own decision, it has nothing to do with you."
Kindness is often taken advantage of. While kindness is a good thing, it depends on the person. There's no need to treat those who are unkind to you with kindness.
This is a lesson Lin Fan learned in the Nine Netherworld: some people are bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. The kinder you are, the more they will take advantage of you. On the contrary, those petty people will bow down to those who treat them badly.
Lin Fan's way of dealing with the world is to treat good with good, evil with evil, an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth!
“You are now in charge of the project with Shancheng Group, and you are the hope of the entire Su family. You should be more assertive,” Lin Fan said while turning the steering wheel.
“I know,” Su Ruowei replied.
"If you understand, you should learn to say no to some things. Some people don't deserve to be treated kindly, especially in business," Lin Fan said.
"Hmm." Although Su Ruowei didn't want to admit it, she still kept Lin Fan's words in mind. Lin Fan now seemed like a weathered old man, and these words didn't seem like they should come from his mouth.
"Where did you learn that from?" Su Ruowei asked curiously.
"I read it in a book." Lin Fan looked out the window again and said, "We've arrived at the villa. Remember to be firm!"
While processing Lin Fan's words, Su Ruowei got out of the car in a daze. Only after entering the villa did she realize that the entire Su family was already waiting inside.
"The person in charge must have a lot of influence, making everyone wait for you," Su Yulin said sarcastically from the side.
Su Ruowei glanced at Su Yulin, then lowered her head shyly.
“Ruowei arrived at the company early this morning, but who knew we’d be brought here again.” Lin Fan walked forward from behind Su Ruowei and said, “The company is in the suburbs. If you could give up your company in the city, this project might be easier to carry out.”
"You!" Su Yulin, her face flushed red, retorted irritably, "I asked Su Ruowei, since when did it become your place to speak, you piece of trash!"
"Alright! Stop arguing, Grandma must have called us here for something important!" Su Jianqiang stepped forward and shouted.
After he finished speaking, several people in the crowd praised him. Su Jianqiang looked at the old lady's happy smile and felt that he had achieved his goal.
Su Jianqiang was quite adept at putting on an act in front of others and pleasing the old lady.
"Ahem!" Fang Minjun cleared her throat and said, "This morning we received a notification from Shancheng Group that the procurement volume for this project has doubled, and the price has also been increased by 30%!"
These words caused an uproar in the Su family.
"The purchase volume has doubled! And the price has been increased by 30%!"
"No wonder the Shancheng Group is so rich; they're incredibly generous!"
"The purchase price we were offered before was already higher than the market price, and now it's increased by another 30%. Our Su family is going to be rich!"
While everyone else was excited, Su Ruowei couldn't feel happy at all.
Increased procurement volume means increased business volume. Although the profits are considerable, Su Ruowei's small company, with only a handful of people, is ill-equipped to handle the heavy workload.
Based on previous procurement volumes, Su Ruowei's company was already operating at full capacity. All business operations were suspended, and only projects for Shancheng Group were barely sufficient.
The workload has doubled, and it is impossible to have enough staff in the short term, not to mention that the staff need to be trained and qualified before they can start working.
"I think that might not work. With my company's current strength, we wouldn't have enough manpower if we doubled the workload," Su Ruowei said frankly to everyone.
A chorus of boos erupted from the crowd. Su Jianqiang secretly rejoiced. If he were in that situation, he wouldn't reveal his weakness. He would simply take the job and start working, recruiting as he went.
"If that's the case, then we can't just abandon this project, can we?" Fang Minjun asked tentatively.
Upon hearing the old lady's pointed remark, everyone quickly echoed her sentiments:
"Such an important project can't be shelved just because we don't have enough manpower!"
"This is a project that many people would kill for!"
"With the strength of our Su family, we are more than capable of undertaking this project."
"Does this mean we need to change the person in charge?"
"I've always felt that Jianqiang is the most suitable person to be in charge of this project!"
"That's right! Jianqiang is capable, and the company is strong! Making him the perfect person to be in charge is the most suitable!"
Everyone was flattering him, and Su Jianqiang, feigning concern, massaged the old lady's shoulders while saying:
"It's all because you all flatter me, Su Jianqiang. Actually, I'm not that great."
"I'm just doing my bit for the development of the Su family! I'm not qualified to be the project leader!"
The crowd quickly echoed:
"Jianqiang is too modest! You are the only one qualified to be the project leader!"
"For the sake of the Su family's development, you should become the person in charge of this project!"
"Yes, Jianqiang, you'll be the project manager!"
Su Jianqiang looked at the old lady with feigned grievance and asked, "Grandma, what you're saying is really putting me in a difficult position."
Fang Minjun smiled and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Since it's what everyone wants, let Jianqiang be the person in charge of this project!"
"I disagree!" Su Ruowei shouted, her courage seemingly drawn from who-knows-where, perhaps influenced by Lin Fan's words in the car.
Su Jianqiang gritted his teeth and looked at Su Ruowei. At this critical moment, how could Su Ruowei be so bold? It wasn't like her usual way of doing things!
"What do you disagree with? The project was won thanks to Grandma. The Su family was already the designated project partner. You just went to negotiate. Even if I were in charge, I could have won it!" Su Yulin said disdainfully.
"I was the one who drafted this project plan! I was the one who negotiated the cooperation. I thought you would provide me with support if we were short-handed, but I didn't expect you to do this!" Su Ruowei said angrily.
Su Zhengwu and Shen Yunlan, who were standing to the side barely daring to breathe, looked at Su Ruowei in surprise. They never expected that she would change her timid personality and dare to speak to the whole family like that.
I really don't know if this is a blessing or a curse!
"That's settled then! Jianqiang will be in charge," the old lady said firmly.
