Chapter 619: Chapter 617: Your Opponent is Xue Yang

Was he heartbroken? Of course. The feeling was like personally giving away a daughter he had poured countless blood, sweat, and tears into carefully raising. The reluctance and pain were beyond words.

However, faced with the harshness of reality, Su Guoqiang knew that if he continued to stubbornly hold on, he would only sink the ship that was Qiangsheng with his own hands. In doing so, he would not only harm himself but also betray the hopes of the employees who had fought alongside him.

Therefore, this decision was no reckless whim. It was an agonizing choice made after numerous sleepless nights of deep deliberation, weighing every pro and con. He understood that letting go was painful, but it was the only way for Qiangsheng to have a better future and for the partners who had fought by his side to find a new refuge and sense of security. This resolution, though bittersweet, was the ultimate expression of his responsibility and commitment.

Upon learning that Su Guoqiang had willingly handed over Qiangsheng, Su Jianqiang was utterly enraged. His fingers, gripping his phone, turned white from the force. He immediately dialed Su Guoqiang’s number, his voice trembling with fury.

"Su Guoqiang! What on earth are you doing!"

There was a time when Su Guoqiang would have been the one asking this very question, but now, the roles had been dramatically reversed. Facing Su Jianqiang’s fury, Su Guoqiang’s voice was unusually calm, as if he had anticipated this reaction all along. "I just made the decision I thought was right. Qiangsheng isn’t what it used to be."

"Why didn’t you wait for me? Just give me some more time, and I can definitely revive Qiangsheng!" Su Jianqiang’s voice was filled with desperation and defiance.

Su Guoqiang sighed softly, his tone a mixture of helplessness and finality. "Give you time? How long? A year? Two? Or maybe ten, or even twenty? Most of Qiangsheng’s employees have been with me from the very beginning. Every single one of them has elders to support and children to raise. They stayed at Qiangsheng seeking stability. I can afford to wait, but can they?"

Su Jianqiang was at a loss for words, his heart a maelstrom of emotions. He realized, with profound clarity, that he was undeniably to blame for Qiangsheng’s current predicament. If not for his moment of impulse in making an enemy of Xue Yang, Qiangsheng might have been steadily progressing, shining brightly in the industry. Now, he had no path of retreat. All his plans and efforts had coalesced into a single, unshakeable belief—he had to succeed. Failure was not an option.

"One day, I will breathe new life into Qiangsheng and take it back with my own two hands." Su Jianqiang’s words burned with unyielding determination. He then hung up the phone, leaving himself to face a future of endless challenges and uncertainty.

On the other end of the line, Su Guoqiang stared into the empty room, a bitter smile gracing his lips. He whispered to himself, "Take it back? Easier said than done. Your opponent is Xue Yang, a renowned business prodigy. He’s a man who can stir up storms in the business world and continually create miracles. This isn’t just a contest of strength; it’s a battle of wits and strategy." His words carried both a sense of helplessness regarding Su Jianqiang and an acknowledgment of Xue Yang’s capabilities.

Unfortunately, this was a point Su Jianqiang had failed to realize. After hanging up, he immediately began working on his plan. He knew that time was money. The sooner the plan was put into practice, the sooner they could seize the initiative in the fierce market competition and gain a greater advantage. To that end, Su Jianqiang conducted meticulous market research, leaving no detail unexamined. He discovered that no one in the current market was using the kind of innovative model they were about to implement to turn a profit. This fact undoubtedly opened up a brand-new path for them, one filled with endless possibilities and hope.
