Chapter 258: Outrageous Corporate Warfare

"Mend the pen after the sheep are lost!"

Su Xi knew those wounds could only be faded by time, but he couldn't give his younger brother that answer. He was afraid his brother would fixate on it and end up tearing the family apart.

"I'll go to the company with you tomorrow."

Su Yi thought about it now—what Su Yu said actually made some sense. He had previously planned to take over Splendid Scenery, but lately the time spent with Ji Yan was so wonderful that he was a little less motivated to strive.

He should go to the company with his eldest brother, get a feel for the atmosphere, and gradually take over the company's business.

"Alright!"

Su Yi was indeed too idle, with time to think about all sorts of things, all because he had too little work! With more work, his mind would probably be left with nothing but how to care for the child. Making money is addictive, and it also stops people from wallowing in the past!

And with Su Yi recording Su Yu's inner thoughts, Su Xi could feel a bit more at ease!

……

"Dad, you're going to the company too?"

"Yes!"

Su Yi yawned. Today's wake-up time was a bit earlier than usual, and his body wasn't quite used to it yet.

"Okay!"

【Going to cause trouble?】

Su Yi: ……

He wanted to hit the kid!

Su Yi planned to make a life-sized Su Yu doll, and punch it whenever he was unhappy! A great idea Su Yu provided—he'd make it happen for her!

The car drove into the underground garage, and Su Yu felt something wasn't quite right at the company.

"Uncle, why is the company out of power? Doesn't our family have an emergency generator?"

Su Clan's headquarters was fully equipped with all kinds of facilities—generators, water storage tanks, emergency lights, first aid equipment, and so on—everything you could need!

How could the company lose power?

In the underground garage, Qin Tao was waiting near the parking spot.

"Good morning, General Manager Su, Little General Manager Su, Mr. Su!"

"What's going on?"

"Someone sneaked into the company yesterday and cut the electrical wires. They're being repaired now and should be fixed in about ten minutes."

【Cut the wires? For what? Just to be disgusting? Wulongcha, help me look into it!】

【Okay!】

Qin Tao was glad he had arrived early. If he had come to the company a bit later, who knows how much would have been delayed!

"We've already called the police. We just received notice from the officials that they've locked onto a suspect and are conducting a real-time arrest operation."

"Mm!"

Su Yu and the others waited in the car for less than ten minutes before all the lights in the underground garage came on and the elevators started running normally.

After going upstairs, Su Yu saw Su Xi head to his office, so she obediently went into her own office.

Su Yi sat at the desk and flipped through some documents. "The files you have here are quite comprehensive."

"Yes! Dad, take your time reading them!"

Su Yu grabbed a book and went to the window to pretend to read. In reality, her eyes were fixed outside the window as she thought about what the three of them would play when Liang Yan and Tang Can came over.

【Building snowmen is a must—we have a huge yard at home, so we can build as many as we want! Should we have a snowball fight? The three of them together would be evenly matched, but adding me makes it hard to say!】

Thinking of this, Su Yu sighed.

She was still too small! Her strength wasn't much either, otherwise the three of them playing together would be just right!

Thinking about how Liang Yan and Tang Can could turn even clothes into a blazing argument yesterday, Su Yu felt a bit worried. The snowball fight she imagined was entertainment. But if Liang Yan and Tang Can actually fought, that would be a real brawl!

【What else can we do in the snow? Hmm, dog sledding won't work—we don't have dogs at home, but I could have Grandpa send me some robot dogs. They should be able to pull a sled, right? Painting, skiing, ice skating—hmm, these all need professional and safe equipment. I have to remember to tell Uncle Butler when I get home!】

Su Yu ran over, grabbed a pen, and wrote down what she had thought of.

【I wonder if fish taste better in winter? The three of us could go fishing together. It's so cold, so we'd need to put up a warm shelter by the pond, but that's a bit costly and not that fun—not really worth it!】

Su Yu wrote and drew, jotting down the things she thought would be fun, preparing to have Uncle Butler help get the relevant equipment ready at home. When the two of them came over to study at her house, the three of them could play together!

Su Yu spent the whole morning organizing before she finished writing down all her inspiration.

【Wulongcha, why didn't you call me?】

【I saw you were happily writing, and that matter wasn't very important.】

They say the human brain rusts if you don't use it. Today's matter wasn't very important, so Wulongcha didn't interrupt Su Yu's thinking.

【Who did it? Why did they cut our company's wires?】

【It was one of your family's rivals. They found out your family was meeting with a foreign partner today to discuss a project, so yesterday they got one of Su Clan's employed security guards drunk and learned the company's front door password from him, and also stole the keys to get into the company.】

【They initially wanted to get in and destroy documents and computers, but every department's door was locked. They didn't dare break the doors, so they cut your company's wires instead, cutting off the power.】

【…Who leaked the timing?】

High-end corporate warfare: stealing projects, planting spies.

The most basic approach to high-end corporate warfare: get the security guard drunk, sneak into the company, cut your wires!

Setting that aside, this approach really does mess with a company's morale. If it were any smaller company, fixing the wires and getting normal operations running would take an hour or two. If the meeting really was this morning, their family would have to change the venue at the last minute, leaving a poor impression on the partner.

【It was leaked from the Ye Clan's side. Your uncle has already contacted Ye Shu.】

This collaborative project was brokered by the Xie Family, with the Ye Family and Su Family working together to complete it. Ye Shu trusted Su Xi greatly and had fully entrusted him with handling it. But some people within the Ye Clan were dissatisfied with Ye Shu's decision.

Back when Ye Shu's matchmaking hadn't been going well, the Ye Family parents had considered hiring a professional manager. They only thought about it, but within the company, some people had grown ambitious.

Ye Shu collaborating with Su Xi on a major project was enough to prove Ye Shu's judgment—that he could inherit the company. Those with ulterior motives would get nothing in the future—how could they accept that!

To make Ye Shu and Su Xi slip up, they didn't hesitate to harm the company's interests.

【Has Ye Shu dealt with that person?】

【Of course, he's not stupid either. However, he's abroad accompanying his wife; the one who actually does the work is still his dad.】

Ye Shu's previous laid-back, carefree attitude was merely because he had a sense of just getting by in life. He thought he would have no descendants; whether he had much money or little, as long as it was enough for him, that was fine.

Now he has to support his family—how could he possibly let others pick money from his pocket? For the sake of his family, he wants to become a qualified capitalist!

Speaking of this, Su Yu sighed, 【If my dad were useful, I should now be with Mom, accompanying my great-grandmother, playing on that beach!】

Su Yi: Don't even think about abandoning me!

【Uncle has taken care of it, so how is his mood?】

Su Yu looked at the thick stack of paper in her hand. Just playing together, she'd have to spend a lot of money buying things, huh—would Uncle not approve?

【Wait a moment, I'll go over and check!】

Wulongcha floated through the wall to the next room, and shortly floated back.
