Chapter 309: Boarding the Rogue Ship
Aside from feeling deeply moved, the System Broker felt highly self-reproachful!
Not only had it misunderstood the host’s earnest intentions, but it had actually intended to rebel?
It was truly far too much!
After thinking it over left and right, it silently credited another thousand yuan to Su He’s account!
Only by doing this would its circuit board feel a bit better.
Hearing the notification sound of the income, Su He was utterly at a loss for words: “…”
With an IQ like this, it can actually swindle money out of other systems?
Just how foolish must those other systems be?!
Forget it. There were too many things to handle right now. Once she straightened out everything in the three-dimensional world, she would harvest that bunch of foolish systems!
At this moment, Luo Dongchuan had just arrived home from work.
Seeing him look somewhat out of sorts, Zhang Lin asked, “Old Luo, why do I look at you and feel you have something on your mind? Did something happen?”
Just as Luo Dongchuan was about to speak, the telephone rang.
Luo Dongchuan picked up the receiver, and Shen Jiawang’s voice traveled from the other side.
“Old Luo, your sister-in-law has cooked up a few side dishes. Bring younger sister-in-law over for dinner!”
Luo Dongchuan had no choice but to agree, bringing Zhang Lin over to the Shen residence.
After finishing dinner, Shen Jiawang called Luo Dongchuan into the study.
“Dongchuan, I heard Su He made a racket over at the Friendship Hotel today? What’s going on?”
The reason Shen Jiawang didn’t beat around the bush and instead asked directly was precisely to inform Luo Dongchuan that his every move lay firmly within his grasp.
Had it not been for Su He’s words today, Luo Dongchuan truly might have reacted with absolute fear and trepidation just as Shen Jiawang anticipated.
But at this present moment, hearing Shen Jiawang’s words left Luo Dongchuan highly repulsed.
Old Shen, oh Old Shen, you genuinely are spying on me!
Spying on me is one thing, but you even blab it out so blatantly. You truly don’t view me, Luo Dongchuan, as anything significant at all!
No wonder Xiaoling said Shen Ruyi treated her like a servant girl. Their old Shen family truly doesn’t view people as human beings!
He had originally been wavering and indecisive, but this time, he completely leaned toward Su He’s side.
“Old Shen, today’s matter went like this…
“Old Shen, that girl Su He called me into the meeting room alone. First she questioned me about the delayed handbooks, and then she wept while playing the emotional card with me.
“I thought to myself at the time: since she already noticed that I was tripping her up, she’ll definitely be on guard in the future, making it highly difficult to play any tricks.
“It would be better to play along with her scheme and play the emotional card back. Therefore, I blamed the delayed handbooks on the subordinates below, gave her a word of encouragement, and had a heart-to-heart chat with her.
“When all is said and done, that girl lacks experience in the world, and sure enough, she was moved to tears of profound gratitude.
“During this upcoming period, I’ll look after her a bit more. I believe she’ll surely place absolute trust in me. By the time we reach the Canton Fair, playing tricks will be vastly easier. Old Shen, what do you think of my method?”
Shen Jiawang felt somewhat dissatisfied with Luo Dongchuan taking the initiative on his own. But on second thought, this method was indeed excellent, so he said with a smile, “Dongchuan, I just admire your clever quick-wittedness to adapt to circumstances. If Dazhi were as clever as you, he wouldn’t have been stripped to the absolute bottom.
“Then proceed according to what you said. Grant her some minor favors, and deal the blow once the timing ripens.”
Upon emerging from the Shen residence, only then did Luo Dongchuan recount the matter down to the last detail to his wife, Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin’s expression looked somewhat panicked: “Old Luo, does that girl Su He truly possess a colossal backer? If she fabricated it and we end up offending the Shen family, we’ll be thoroughly finished!”
Luo Dongchuan gnashed his teeth: “Even if we don’t offend them, we might still be pushed out like a donkey killed once the grind is finished in the future! Think of it as a gamble!
“Keep your wits about you when you interact with Song Xian in the future too; don’t get dug into a pit by her.
“In addition, pay more attention to her every move. Perhaps it will be of use to Su He.”
“Old Luo, you plan to stand completely on Su He’s side?”
Luo Dongchuan let out a sigh: “By uttering those words just now, I’ve already boarded the rogue ship!”
No, to be precise, his own daughter had invited the wolf into the house long ago!
Boarding the rogue ship was merely a matter of time!
The following morning, the training course officially commenced.
The moment Su He and her group stepped into the meeting room, they spotted Lu Qifeng.
In reality, as a top leader, there was no need for him to come over, just like how the leaders of those major factories hadn’t come at all.
From this, it could visibly be seen that Lu Qifeng was an excellent leader who did genuine work; he was terrified of dragging down the heels of the An County Joint Exhibition Delegation.
In any case, he possessed a car. Coming over for classes in the morning and heading back to handle official business in the evening merely meant a bit of extra hardship.
Su He and her group hurriedly went over to greet him and sat in the few seats right next to Lu Qifeng.
Prior to the training session, Little Wenzhong from the foreign trade department delivered a speech, the general summary being that everyone should accept the training properly and strive to claim more orders at the Canton Fair.
As Little Wenzhong was leaving, he spoke to Luo Dongchuan, “I didn’t expect Old Lu to actually come to listen to the lectures. It seems my prior conjecture was correct; these slots for the Canton Fair must have been secured through his connections, which is why he attaches such high importance to it.”
Luo Dongchuan: “…En, your conjecture was correct.”
Correct, my foot!
Lu Qifeng is just a scapegoat; the slots were secured by Su He leveraging her backer!
The training content was indeed somewhat redundant for enterprises that had already participated in the Canton Fair. But for Su He and her group, it was exceptionally valuable.
Although they had gathered a lot of information, it lacked the systematic and detailed breakdown of the training course.
During the class break, Su He eagerly headed up to the podium to strike up a cozy connection with the staff from the foreign trade department.
“Officer Jiang, I frequently hear Uncle Luo mention you, saying your professional competence and theoretical proficiency are exceptionally strong…”
No one disliked hearing pleasant words, and this Su He was further a relative of Section Chief Luo.
Consequently, Su He very quickly began carrying out the tasks of a little assistant, helping to organize classroom discipline, distribute documents, and the like.
With this title, she smoothly and logically became closely acquainted with the people from the Beiliao Province delegation.
Regardless of whether she could fleece any wool or not, she would mingle to get a familiar face first.
Beholding Su He flying all over the room, Luo Dongchuan: “…”
He seemed to understand why she could mix so smoothly and successfully in An County. Aside from being shameless, her social capabilities were truly formidable!
Lu Qifeng was also somewhat shocked, asking Principal Chen who sat beside him, “Is Little Su always this… this… lively?”
Principal Chen: “…En.”
Terrified that Lu Qifeng would harbor some negative impression of Su He, Principal Chen hurriedly said, “County Chief Lu, Little Su doing this is also to expand connections and strive for more resources to build up An County…”
Lu Qifeng said with a smile, “Old Chen, you’ve overthought it. I feel Little Su being like this is excellent! What our An County needs is precisely comrades with this kind of drive and momentum. Comrade Little Su will surely achieve great things in the future!”
Only then did Principal Chen let out a sigh of relief, though it was good to let Lu Qifeng know Su He’s temperament early on. After all, when participating in the Canton Fair, this girl would only be more… lively than she was now.
Once the first day of the training course concluded, Su He came to find Luo Dongchuan.
“Uncle Luo, shouldn’t our training class take a grand group photograph? Think of it as keeping a souvenir.”
Luo Dongchuan furrowed his brows. “We’ve never taken one before. Is there a necessity for it? Besides, taking a photograph requires funds; I’d have to apply to the department.”
Su He said with a beaming smile, “You don’t need to worry about the problem of funds. Our An County Textile Factory will sponsor it—as long as you agree, that’s all that matters.”
