My Life with Narration

Chapter 516 - 507: I’ll Beat You Even If You Pretend to Be a Little Blackie!

When it came to Shen Yi’s work, he generally didn’t interfere, mainly because Shen Yi said she could handle it herself.

Also, there’s little he could contribute in this area. Even with stocks, his current influence is limited. After all, dealing with such a large company isn’t easy.

He holds just a small goal, which may seem substantial. While it might allow him to take a small advantage against a listed company’s shares, expecting it to significantly harm the opponent might be wishful thinking.

Of course, he’s not entirely useless. If the opponent has any backup plans during Shen Yi’s resolution period, he would certainly know about it, at the very least he could warn Shen Yi and help her develop appropriate plans.

However, seeing the confidence on Shen Yi’s face, he felt he might be redundant. Since that’s the case, he stopped worrying, deciding to eat and drink as usual. After all, the sky won’t fall.

That afternoon, Shen Yi took over the work at the capital’s headquarters with ease. The company’s leadership, seeing her return, immediately seemed to find their backbone and were full of confidence.

Many plans that were originally in place were directly activated.

"Oh, you’re poaching our technical talents, huh? As if we don’t have a shovel ourselves. It’s just a matter of salary and benefits, have the HR department reach out to their company’s technical elites proactively."

Regarding the competitive business, everyone in the Internet industry knows each other. Truly important business won’t be easily competed away; they are just some small to medium-sized business cooperations.

Products, technology, operations, marketing, functions – it boils down to these five categories. If you can compete with me, I can compete with you too. It’s essentially a price war.

Of course, there’s also a comparison of the effectiveness of one’s own products.

As for Hu Liangcai’s little actions, she didn’t mind giving him a lesson, to see how long he can last as a vice president.

Neither he nor Tang Nan questioned Shen Yi’s methods. Letting professionals handle professional matters is the best management approach for a company.

That evening, Hu Liangcai received the news that Shen Yi had returned and was already counterattacking.

With a crisp snap, an ashtray was shattered, and in his office, Hu Liangcai’s face was extremely grim.

He had just received the news that, this afternoon, four businesses that had originally been negotiated with suddenly backed out, and ultimately nothing materialized.

Negotiating business is supposed to be trustworthy, but having four such temporary cancellations in one day undoubtedly indicates a problem, otherwise, how could it be so coincidental?

Although they weren’t major projects, even a small project is valuable, the smallest was a project worth a million that was suddenly gone, anyone would be annoyed.

Crucially, after some inquiry, he learned it was Shen Yi, the general manager of Baihua, who returned to the capital. They didn’t delve deeper, but he knew what was going on.

The counterattack came unexpectedly fast, something he hadn’t anticipated at all.

The main thing is that Shen Yi has a lot of friends and a wide network in the capital. Sometimes it’s just a matter of a phone call, everyone understands tacitly, and friends helping out is natural.

"President Hu, what should we do now?" a man in his thirties with glasses asked somewhat uneasily.

Upon hearing this, Hu Liangcai contemplated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Continue!"

"Yes, President Hu!"

But after thinking a bit, Hu Liangcai changed his tone: "Forget it, let’s pause for now. You said Shen Yi from Baihua came back this time with a man?"

"Yes, I found out, it’s that ’Stock God’ from the internet."

"I see, I’ll handle this matter, don’t make any more moves!"

"Understood, President Hu!"

With that, the man left, and Hu Liangcai couldn’t help but sigh, his face looking rather unpleasant.

He was just upset about the last incident, and coupled with the exclusion from the board, it annoyed him. He did something to vent his frustration without expecting such a swift response, and Shen Yi’s immediate counteraction upon her return was quite assertive.

Despite his anger, he knew the importance of priorities and couldn’t act recklessly. So, when targeting Baihua initially, he didn’t go all out, just wanted to regain some ground. Now that Shen Yi was back to personally handle this matter and was so assertive right off the bat, if he chose to confront this head-on, the two companies would likely face more than just a small skirmish.

They are in business to make money, not to engage in a battle of wits. Besides, even though he’s the vice president, he’s not second in command in the company. Even if the general manager stands with him, once he insists on engaging with Baihua in a price war, the board wouldn’t allow it.

Small conflicts are manageable, but once it concerns their own interests, it’s absolutely not allowed. Otherwise, he might even face punishment, so he ultimately changed his decision.

Thinking about this, the more Hu Liangcai thought about it, the angrier he got, and finally, he made a phone call.

"Hey, Liangcai, I’m having dinner," Zhou Qingde, the general manager of Huayue, answered the phone.

"Brother Zhou, something happened."

Subsequently, Hu Liangcai briefly explained Shen Yi’s return and actions that happened in the afternoon.

After a long pause, a sigh came from the other end of the line: "Liangcai, I understand what you did, though it wasn’t beneficial, I understand your feelings. It was a bit impulsive, but it’s okay, let’s just end it here. That President Shen isn’t weak, there’s no need to escalate things."

"I thought the same, but judging from President Shen’s attitude, there might be some trouble."

"No worries, I’ll find some time tomorrow to personally visit. Let’s see if we can smooth things over, and for the board... bear with it for now, don’t give them any leverage."

"Got it, Brother Zhou. I will. Oh, by the way, Su Qing... came back with Shen Yi. Do you think we should make any contact? Besides, I’ve heard their relationship isn’t ordinary."

"Well... I’ll think about it. But privately reaching out is unnecessary, they’re not foolish!"

"Understood."

Their conversation wasn’t complicated and didn’t take long.

But the information revealed was quite a lot. Firstly, Huayue didn’t actually want to escalate the situation. Next, Huayue’s upper management isn’t harmonious, with constant internal strife.

Additionally, by this point, Hu Liangcai was already disliked by those above him, and there were even intentions to suppress him.

As for Su Qing, after the last incident, they also understood that although he was young, he wasn’t inexperienced and wouldn’t collaborate with them on such matters. Therefore, there’s no need to engage, saving face for both sides.

Regarding Hu Liangcai’s comment on Su Qing and Shen Yi’s unusual relationship, it might be important to be cautious with one’s attitude when meeting them.

Meanwhile, as Shen Yi began her strategic maneuvers with Huayue, Su Qing found himself at Finance University.

"What are you looking at, big brother? With your little sister here, aren’t you satisfied? Had I known it was like this, I wouldn’t have come."

On the sports field, Su Qing looked at male and female university students, feeling a bit sentimental. But one must admit, the female students at Finance University are indeed high quality, a sea of beauties.

Though they couldn’t compare to Shen Yi, they were pleasing to the eye nonetheless.

Just as he was mesmerized, Su He’s voice came over. To be honest, he hadn’t seen her in months, and her Lin-like quirky tone seemed less genuine.

"Stop babbling, do you think I wanted to come? It’s because Mom heard I was coming to the capital and asked me to check on you. Hey? What are you filming?"

Midway, he suddenly noticed Su He was recording him with her phone.

"It’s been a while since I last saw you. Filming it so I can look at it when I miss you. Otherwise, I’d have nothing to remember you by. So much time has passed, yet you didn’t call once. My heart feels colder than ice in the dead of winter."

He needn’t think much to realize Su He was using him as content. After all, this girl was now making short videos.

"You’re not a little kid. Why would I call you? Are you starving or something?"

"So, brother can’t even come up with an excuse now? I only said a few things, and you’re already talking to me like that. Fine, since you have other sisters who are better at chatting and making you happy."

He’s become immune to Su He’s dramatic antics now. What can he do? Beat her up? That wouldn’t be impossible either!

With this thought, his eyes turned mischievous, and he smirked coldly: "Before I came, Mom said to take you shopping for clothes. Looks like that’s unnecessary now."

Upon hearing this, Su He’s eyes brightened immediately, eagerly asking: "Are you serious, brother? Don’t forget what you said, as I’d be disappointed if you only jested today and forgot later. I might just complain to our mother about you!"

"Alright, going to tattle, huh? No problem, I’ll beat you first." With that, Su Qing lifted his foot and kicked Su He’s behind.

"Ouch, what are you doing~~"

"Playing the fool, I’ll still beat you!"

"No... no, brother, sis... I was wrong, I was wrong, okay? Don’t kick, ouch, my clothes!"

"No worries, if they get dirty, I’ll buy you new ones!"

"No, they’re all watching!"

"You’re the one who threw a sanitary pad at a drill sergeant during military training. You’ve already socially succumbed. Are you still afraid of losing face?"

"Ahh, Su Qing, I’ll fight you!"

"Bring it on!"

"Windmill spin!"

"Arresting Skill!"
