Chapter 615: Chapter 613: A Way to Deal with Xue Yang

Two unanswered calls in a row made Su Jianqiang start to doubt himself. "Logically, he should know who I am. Why isn’t he answering?" he murmured. After a moment’s hesitation, he took a deep breath and decided to try again, his finger firmly pressing the redial button.

The ringtone echoed, seeming to drag on longer than usual and nearly reaching the point of an automatic hang-up. Just as it was about to cut off, the other party finally answered. But the voice that came through was Wang Doudou’s, clearly impatient and laced with anger. "Who is this? It’s the middle of the night! Are you looking to die?!"

Damn it. I forgot Young Master Wang is abroad—there’s a time difference. It’s three in the afternoon here, which is prime sleeping time where he is. No wonder he didn’t answer before.

Su Jianqiang immediately adopted a humble, deferential tone. "Young Master Wang, this is Su Jianqiang. I have a business proposal that I’m certain will interest you." Su Jianqiang’s stomach churned with anxiety for having disturbed the man’s sleep.

Hearing this, a playful smile touched the corners of Wang Doudou’s lips. "Oh? Su Jianqiang," he said lazily, "do you have any idea how many ’money-making proposals’ I get pitched every month? I’ve heard that line so often my ears have grown calluses. If I had actually invested in every one of them, the Wang Family would have lost its fortune long ago."

"You’re absolutely right, Young Master Wang," Su Jianqiang continued calmly. "That’s precisely why I’m so confident that my proposal is different. It isn’t just about growing wealth; it’s a strategic move designed to target Xue Yang specifically. I believe the very mention of his name is enough to make you reconsider the value of this proposal."

Wang Doudou’s eyes sharpened instantly, his tone growing serious. "You’re saying this plan can take down Xue Yang? Are you sure about that?"

Su Jianqiang nodded, his voice filled with unshakable confidence. "Absolutely, Young Master Wang. This plan was meticulously designed to exploit Xue Yang’s weaknesses, allowing us to transfer the maximum amount of profit from him at the lowest possible cost. I believe it will be a crucial chess piece for you, whether you want to strike back at him or simply solidify your own position."

A way to hit Xue Yang while also consolidating my own position and making a profit... Needless to say, Su Jianqiang’s words had struck a chord with Wang Doudou.

"Alright, Su Jianqiang. Send me the detailed proposal for review," Wang Doudou said. His words were brief, but they carried an unmistakable decisiveness.

Despite his often-nonchalant demeanor, Wang Doudou had been navigating the world of business since he was young. He understood the weight of every investment and would never act recklessly. He knew that investing wasn’t merely an exchange of money, but a battle of wits and foresight. Therefore, he had to ensure Su Jianqiang’s proposal not only had substance but was also practical and promised a high rate of return. Only then would he extend an olive branch to collaborate on a major venture. After all, business was business, and profit was always his strongest motivator.

Soon after, Su Jianqiang sent the file over. All thoughts of sleep vanished as Wang Doudou began to review the proposal. The more he read, the more excited he became.

"Excellent! Su Jianqiang has finally done something useful for once. With this plan, how could I fail to bring down Xue Yang?" His heart swelled with glee, and the corners of his mouth lifted unconsciously. A hearty laugh escaped him. "HAHAHA!"

However, his excitement was short-lived. Wang Doudou quickly composed himself and redialed Su Jianqiang’s number, his tone now probing. "Where did you get this plan?"

Su Jianqiang didn’t dare hide a single thing. He recounted the entire story to Wang Doudou with sincere caution, holding nothing back. He knew that to get funding from someone, you had to be completely transparent.

"I see. So, Su Guoqiang doesn’t know what you’re planning?" Wang Doudou’s mind began to churn. He chuckled softly, his grasp of the situation tightening.

"Young Master Wang, my brother is a stubborn old fool. If he found out about my plan, I’d be in deep trouble. So, I hope you can keep this a secret for me until it succeeds," Su Jianqiang pleaded, clearly pinning all his hopes on this venture.

"Don’t worry," Wang Doudou said, his tone leaving no room for argument. "From now on, this plan was my idea. It has nothing to do with you. Understand?"

Su Jianqiang instantly understood his meaning. Wang Doudou’s status as an overseas heir lent the proposal significant weight, making it far more convincing. If Xue Yang wanted to challenge it, he’d have to produce irrefutable evidence of its true origin—a nearly impossible task.

But... if the plan belongs to Wang Doudou, then my whole fundraising effort would just be paving the way for him. My dream of being the boss will be shattered. I’ll just be an employee.

"Young Master Wang, but I..." Su Jianqiang started, his voice trailing off with reluctance and helplessness.

"What? Do you have a problem with that?" Wang Doudou cut him off, a hint of disdain in his voice. "Did you really think you could come up with such a brilliant plan on your own? Could you really have finalized every detail of the advertisements, every single creative element, by yourself?"

Su Jianqiang was speechless as a storm of conflicting emotions churned within him. He knew Wang Doudou was right. He only had a rough outline of the advertising plan and lacked the inspiration and expertise to nail down all the intricate details and clever twists himself. Even with Wang Doudou’s investment, he would have to spend an enormous amount of time and energy just to fill in the gaps.

But with Wang Doudou, it’s different. Even if he is a profligate heir, he undoubtedly has the means to flesh out all the details of the plan.

"Su Jianqiang, relax," Wang Doudou’s voice carried a reassuring power. "Once the supermarket opens, you’ll still be the key man. I can’t return to the country right away, so during that time, I’ll need you to take full charge of the management. You will be the boss on the ground."

Wang Doudou’s words were a shot in the arm, instantly dispelling Su Jianqiang’s worries. His eyes lit up as he replied with heartfelt gratitude, "Thank you for the trust you’ve placed in me, Young Master Wang! I will do my absolute best not to disappoint you!"

After hanging up, Wang Doudou did not go back to sleep. Instead, he swiped his phone screen and opened his contacts. His eyes locked onto a single name. With a light tap of his finger, he dialed the familiar number.
