Chapter 598: Selling Your Own Plan?

Chapter 598: Chapter 598: Selling Your Own Plan?

He scolded as he opened it, admonishing not to waste money on these messy things anymore, what if the content was written by a scammer? This statement came out with a hint of disbelief, because who could actually sell such a plan? If one could execute it themselves, they’d earn much more, so why sell it?

Thus, he felt Wang Xiaocon had been deceived. Hearing his boss say this, Wang Xiaocon also felt a bit of dissatisfaction inside—how could he be deceived? He was so clever, and at that time, he had seen the content and thought it was pretty good, which was why he decided to buy it. It wasn’t that he hadn’t seen how complete the content was.

He would never have made a move directly if that wasn’t the case; he wasn’t the kind to have more money than he knew what to do with. He had seized this one because it was truly rare, and upon finding it, he had hurriedly brought it to Shen Dong for review.

"Oh come on, boss, now that it’s in front of you, why not just open it and see what’s inside?" he said. "You’ll know whether I’m telling the truth once you look, and I bet you’ll be surprised because this kind of material has never been seen on the market before. There are some shady origins to this document so it might need some handling later, but don’t worry, I’ll take care of it. I’m quite familiar with these matters—even if the methods aren’t clean, we’ve already paid for it, so that company can only blame their bad luck."

After saying this, Wang Xiaocong felt somewhat proud—it was, after all, the kind of operation he was used to, simple handiwork for him. He felt their bad luck was just his good fortune.

Upon hearing this, Shen Dong instinctively frowned, feeling the matter was not so simple and might implicate him. But he opened the file anyway to see what it was that so excited Wang Xiaocong that he had wanted to buy it.

The man was sharp, his eyes were trained; how could he be fooled by a mere document?

Curious about its merits, he started reading the first line, which seemed eerily familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. It struck him after watching a webinar—it was from the industry he was involved in.

No, that wasn’t right. Broadcasts weren’t widely conducted yet, so how could others know of this ’broadcast’? He had only come up with this name after discussing it with Zhang Tao. Now this plan was presented in the proposal—he was essentially buying his own strategy! Who had betrayed him?

The further he read, the more shocked he became. Initially, he thought it was his competitors copying him, but then he discovered someone from Zhang Tao’s side had leaked the plan, even copying his own words verbatim. This felt like a joke.

Putting down the plan, he felt a burning anger inside. Who dared to play such tricks right under his nose, and even made Wang Xiaocon buy it, essentially using his own money to buy his thoughts? After setting down the document, his visible irritability did not escape Wang Xiaocon.

Feeling a bad premonition, Wang Xiaocon didn’t know how to start his words and weakly asked, "Is it not good? I thought it’s a great money-maker, as no one else has developed it yet. Boss, isn’t it easy for someone with your skills? If you don’t like it that’s fine; I can let others slowly figure it out. Maybe you’re just tired, but please don’t be angry."

After finishing his words, he sneakily observed Shen Dong’s expression. But Shen Dong was so upset he couldn’t speak because it all unfolded too quickly right after he stepped away. He didn’t believe it was coincidentally unsorted.

Those people still didn’t realize the importance of legality; these actions could lead directly to imprisonment. How foolish could they be? Suddenly, a figure appeared in Shen Dong’s mind—it was Lin Kai, who had left grumbling, acting as if the whole planet wouldn’t spin without him.

Thinking about it, Lin Kai might very well have been the one to sell the plan, especially since he could hear everything while packing up. If it was someone internal spreading the news, it’d be tricky to handle.

But if it was Lin Kai, then it would be much simpler. Shen Dong calmed himself, feeling he shouldn’t keep fuming but rather handle the situation since Wang Xiaocong had brought it. He decided to let Wang Xiaocong deal with the issue.

Wang Xiaocon sat there cluelessly watching Shen Dong’s changing expressions, feeling like a child who had done something wrong, unsure where to place his hands and afraid of being scolded any second. Oh no, if only he hadn’t meddled and bought this plan, he wouldn’t be facing monetary loss and his boss’s scrutiny.

Now, he thought it was better not to do such thankless tasks. As he contemplated how to wrap up the matter, Shen Dong, smiling, called Wang Xiaocon over. With no choice, Wang Xiaocon braced himself, sat there, and cheerfully said, "Boss, just speak directly. Can you stop using that expression and this cheerful tone? It makes me nervous, like I’m being judged for something wrong I’ve done, making me all edgy." After saying that, he scratched the back of his head, feeling uncomfortable all over, as Shen Dong obviously knew how to handle Wang Xiaocon, who couldn’t resist such manipulative tactics.

How could he not use such methods if he wanted Wang Xiaocon to dutifully do his bidding? Wang Xiaocon didn’t realize he was already deep in Shen Dong’s scheme—as usual, honest people can’t stand their ground against the manipulative ones.
