Crystal knocked on Ouyang Chen's office door.
Crystal: "Mr. Ou, would you like me to order dinner?"
Ouyang Chen: "No need, you can go home."
Crystal: "Okay, see you tomorrow then, Mr. Ou."
After Crystal left, Ouyang Chen deliberately walked over and locked the door.
He pulled down all the blinds and then called Sister Hong.
—Ouyang Chen on the phone—
Sister Hong: "You're saying Cai Yadong voluntarily admitted he gave you the recommendation spot?"
Ouyang Chen: "Yes, and I refused him."
Sister Hong: "Refused? Isn't that the outcome you wanted? Why would you give it up?"
Ouyang Chen: "It's not giving up, I just don't like being played by him."
Sister Hong: "Yun Chen, you're being impulsive. If you anger him, he'll give the spot to his son in the next second."
Ouyang Chen: "I know, but now I want him to feel what it's like to be led around."
Sister Hong: "What do you want to do?"
Ouyang Chen: "I want him to come to me himself, instead of me constantly going to him to get results."
Sister Hong: "There are some risks..."
Ouyang Chen: "I've always dealt with risks, I know how to handle someone so cunning."
Ouyang Chen thought for a moment and added, "Cai Yadong mentioned to me that he really wants to cooperate with the higher-ups."
"The nuclear power plant project will definitely bring him unexpected returns, so he's eager to win me over. Now that I've withdrawn, I have the upper hand."
"And I've also learned his weakness, I can force him..."
Sister Hong: "I told you a long time ago not to get involved with anything related to the higher-ups, your identity is too dangerous."
Ouyang Chen: "I want to hear your opinion, because I'm facing a very serious problem. I've received news that she is about to make a move."
Sister Hong hesitated. Although vaguely stated, she guessed who "she" was!
The only serious problem that could hinder Ouyang Chen's development was Mrs. Su, which was also what Sister Hong had pointed out when they decided to cooperate.
Mrs. Su would definitely not allow Ouyang Chen to develop too quickly or too strongly, as it would make her feel insecure. 138 Reading Net
It's just that this move came a little earlier than expected!
Sister Hong: "You need to leave there safely, but if you leave, all those resources will be wasted."
Ouyang Chen: "If I want to protect myself, I have to cooperate with people like Cai Yadong."
Sister Hong: "You can't use AtL anymore, you have no backup."
Ouyang Chen: "I need money, how much do you have left?"
Sister Hong: "It's no comparison to AtL, you've let them get too fat."
Ouyang Chen: "I will leverage the power of Huaming Capital. They will continue to drive up the stock price, and I need my own position."
Sister Hong: "Shall I help you set it up?"
Ouyang Chen: "Yes, focus on a stock from an education center. I will pull it up."
Sister Hong: "Okay, I'll wait for your news."
—Ouyang Chen ends call—
After hanging up, Ouyang Chen closed his eyes and began to sort out his thoughts. There had been too much happening lately, too much to deal with...
The most pressing issue now was how to extricate himself from AtL without anyone noticing.
Although he had received notification from Su Ruiyi, he knew that Mrs. Su's actions would not be executed immediately. Moreover, he held the secret with Su Ruiyi, which could save him at a crucial moment.
If Mrs. Su's authority was supreme, then he had learned a new trick from Cai Yadong: power is about winning people over!
Therefore, he had to resort to any means necessary, and grasp everything that could be used to his advantage. He would never allow himself to be led by the nose when success was within reach!
