Chapter 642 - 640: Killed by You

Just as Lin Xi had thought.

Today, Lin Zhenhai indeed went shopping again.

When Cui Hao received the freshly printed shopping list,

he couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

He scrutinized the contents of the list closely, quietly muttering to himself:

"It's really strange, how could the chairman of Lin Corporation be so fond of buying snacks?"

"Could it be that beneath that stern and imposing exterior lies a childlike heart that hasn't faded?"

With this curiosity and confusion,

Cui Hao lightly shook his head,

and then stepped into Xue Yang's office.

The room was peaceful, he glanced around,

but didn't see the familiar figure,

and couldn't help but ask:

"It's strange, I clearly saw that the boss's wife has already come to the company today, why isn't she here right now?"

Xue Yang looked up at the list in his hand and asked:

"What are you holding?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Hao instinctively hid the shopping list behind his back,

a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.

Xue Yang saw this and the corner of his mouth curved into a faint smile, as if he had seen through everything:

"Is this Chairman Lin's new order?"

Cui Hao, hearing this, awkwardly smiled and had to admit:

"Oh dear, nothing escapes you. Yeah, it's Chairman Lin's order.

That said, the boss's wife doesn't hold back with you,

I'm guessing she already reported this to you."

Having said that, Cui Hao seemed resigned,

took the shopping list from behind him, and handed it to Xue Yang.

Xue Yang took the shopping list, ℴ

his eyes quickly scanned it,

and couldn't help but feel a subtle ripple in his heart.

The list was almost entirely various snacks,

which formed a stark contrast to the impression he had of Chairman Lin as a business magnate,

making it quite unexpected.

Cui Hao, at his side, his eyes flickered with the same surprise and curiosity,

he couldn't help but say:

"See, I told you it's shocking! Who would've thought that Chairman Lin, who's so decisive in the business world,

privately harbors such a childlike heart, truly unexpected."

However,

Xue Yang heard this,

and simply raised his gaze,

glancing at Cui Hao with a tone containing an unquestionable seriousness:

"Cui Hao, you should be well aware of the company's rules and regulations.

We must not subjectively comment or discuss customers' shopping choices,

it's a matter of respect and professionalism.

If you've forgotten this, then perhaps it's necessary to remind you,

violating regulations can lead to appropriate punishment, including but not limited to a notice."

Upon hearing this, Cui Hao's expression changed slightly,

and he quickly waved his hand, laughing:

"Alright, alright, I'll shut up and go arrange the delivery, ensuring the task is completed successfully."

After finishing, he turned to leave, his steps light, evidently wanting to quickly escape from this "troubled place".

Just at this moment, Xue Yang's voice lightly sounded,

like a spring breeze over a lake,

carrying an undeniable power:

"Wait."

Cui Hao, upon hearing this, immediately became rooted to the spot,

stiff in place, then turned around,

his face full of a flattering smile,

his tone somewhat ingratiating:

"Boss, do you have any other instructions? Just say it, I guarantee I'll go through fire and water without hesitation."

Xue Yang said blandly:

"Xiao Xi is probably in the warehouse."

Having said this, Xue Yang then lowered his head again, focusing on his work,

as if everything just now was just a brief exchange amidst work.

While Cui Hao, cheerfully agreed,

quietly relieved he had narrowly escaped trouble.

Meanwhile.

Over at Yonghui Supermarket,

Su Jianqiang found Su Guoqiang's path blocked,

signaling his inevitable failure.

Upon hearing this news, Wang Doudou lost control of his emotions, and in his fury,

he yelled at Su Jianqiang:

"Su Jianqiang, you've ruined me. You've ruined our Wang Family too."

Su Jianqiang, facing Wang Doudou's rage,

sweat appeared on his forehead,

he tried to calm the other's anger, explaining:

"Young Master Wang, please listen to me calmly. I proposed this plan with the intention of seeking your investment for mutual development.

But you were adamant about claiming the plan as your own, and quickly expanding branches, betting all the funds."

Wang Doudou, hearing this, became irate:

"If you hadn't confidently guaranteed this plan would bring substantial profits, why would I act so hastily?"

Su Jianqiang, however unyielding, countered:

"But this also reflects your greed and haste. If you could be more prudent, and avoid blindly chasing expansion, perhaps today's situation wouldn't be so dire.

The road of business is inherently full of variables, and only by progressing step by step can you ensure victory."

Wang Doudou paused, his chest heaving violently,

clearly his soft spot had been poked by Su Jianqiang's words.

He took several deep breaths, trying to stabilize his emotions, yet the anger in his eyes had not completely subsided.

"Su Jianqiang, do you think you can evade responsibility like this? If our Wang Family doesn't fare well, you definitely won't be unscathed either!"

After speaking, Wang Doudou stormed off.

...

In the depths of the Wang Family mansion,

Wang Jianshu was feeling the immense contrast between falling from the clouds into the abyss.

The once brief and glorious moment of spotlight,

has now been replaced by stacks of alarming loss reports,

causing him immense pressure, his brows furrowed as though weighed down by a thousand-pound burden.

"If this trend of losses continues to spread unchecked, the century-old foundation of the Wang Family might be destroyed by my hands."

Wang Jianshu murmured to himself, his tone full of anxiety and self-reproach.

He knew well that as the family leader, he must reverse the situation,

and couldn't let the Wang Family decline under his generation.

Thinking it over, a figure suddenly flashed through Wang Jianshu's mind,

someone who in his memory always provided inspiration and assistance at crucial moments.

His eyes gradually became determined, a sense of unprecedented hope surged in his heart:

"Perhaps, only he can help me through this crisis, breathe new life into the Wang Family."

Wang Jianshu resolved not to respond passively to the predicament,

he decisively entered the grand building of Lin Corporation,

heading straight for Lin Zhenhai's office.

The door lightly opened, he walked in with a sincere smile,

striding energetically, warmly greeting:

"Brother Lin, it's been so long, how have you been?"

Hearing this, Lin Zhenhai looked up, a hint of surprise in his eyes, followed by a laugh:

"Oh, isn't it Mr. Wang? You're always so busy, every second of your time is worth a fortune, how do you have the leisure to visit my little temple today?"

In the words, there was both banter and a touch of genuine curiosity.

Wang Jianshu, hearing this, quickly stepped forward a few steps,

closing the distance with Lin Zhenhai, smiling broadly and saying:

"Brother Lin, your words make us feel distant. Though I am busy with affairs, my thoughts of you have never faltered.

The connection between us isn't something time can weaken."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhenhai curled the corner of his mouth into an amused smile, deliberately teasing:

"Oh? Then I'd like to hear it, Mr. Wang, what's on your mind?

Tell me, so this old man can feel what it's like to be thought of."
