Chapter 980 - 730: Mysterious Big Shot

On the way back, Su Zi still took a ride in Chen Pingsheng's Maybach.

She wanted some time alone to be quiet, because the Dream Fund didn't make her wait and directly had that vice president give her an answer.

Wanting to do this project, given her current status and position, was nothing short of a pipe dream.

It was completely out of her league.

Even though she was somewhat mentally prepared before coming, she couldn't help but feel disappointed.

She had poured all the cash her company made over the years into this.

Now it's all for naught, three years of effort vanished overnight.

Yet she wondered why, just as she was about to leave, that vice president suddenly came to give her a reminder.

Telling her, "Mr. Su, our President Chu said, you do have a sliver of hope, as long as you get the consent of someone next to you."

Not to mention five billion, ten billion.

If it's a hundred billion, a trillion, our Dream Fund will immediately give it to you and will do everything to support you.

Who could "someone next to you" be?

As for someone who could make that vice president so respectful, it could only be the Dream Fund's president and investment queen, Chu Qiuyan.

Su Zi thought it over and didn't believe that someone of Queen Chu's status would come out of nowhere to have the vice president say such a thing to her.

What was the purpose of that statement?

It's clearly not because she was interested in this project; they had already made it clear that the Dream Fund and Tencent had a good cooperative relationship fifteen years ago.

They wouldn't let this partnership falter because of her.

Given that, why say she has hope?

Moreover, from the sound of it, this person could really make the Dream Fund change its mind entirely.

What kind of business status must such a person have?

And how many stories could they have?

Do such powerful people really exist around her?

If her parents had that power, they wouldn't have advised her early on that this project was not feasible.

If it's not her parents, who else around her has such power?

Su Zi was very puzzled, even finding it amusing, like a cloud of fog.

A giant presence was right beside her, and she didn't even know, while that investment queen was clearly aware of that person's identity.

Brought with some intent, had their vice president specifically remind her.

Yet didn't directly give the answer.

The reason here wasn't about any intelligence test; given Chu Qiuyan's status now, she was out of reach for Su Zi.

Even though this meeting was so important, Chu Qiuyan didn't show up directly.

That could only mean that this person was so significant that even she dared not directly reveal their identity.

But instead, used very subtle means to indirectly remind her.

Who could it be?

What was the purpose of such a figure staying beside her?

Deep in thought, Su Zi remained silent, inadvertently seeing the reflection of the driver Old Chen, who must have had his own stories in his youth.

Su Zi curiously asked, "Master Chen, where did you just go?"

"Mr. Su, since I couldn't be of any help when you went to report for work, I just ran into a friend and chatted for a bit."

"You have friends in Baiyun, too?"

"Yes, they're all folks of a certain age."

Su Zi thought about it and realized it made sense, then felt she was being paranoid.

If not, why would she suddenly doubt her driver?

What esteemed figure would come out to be her driver for no reason, having nothing better to do?

"Master Chen, by the end of this month, I'll have the finance department give you an extra three thousand as a bonus."

After saying that, Su Zi closed her eyes to rest.

Chen Pingsheng found it a little odd, but then seemed to understand something, smiling to himself.

After Su Zi returned to the company, just as he expected,

she didn't bring the atmosphere of failure to the company but instead took all the responsibility herself.

She then had the finance department increase everyone's salary and bonus for the month.

Saying it was to thank everyone for their effort together.

It must be said that her reverse tactic was quite clever.

Not only did it give the employees bonuses, but it immediately lifted the company's morale.

As for that big project, it indefinitely lapsed into silence.

That's normal; if such a high-level project isn't prepared with hundreds of billions upfront, there's no point in bringing it out.

It would be easily crushed.

Su Zi dared to take out two billion, which had already shown immense courage.

Chen Pingsheng saw many virtues in her, being good to employees, doing things earnestly and having principles.

When it was time to take responsibility for her own mistakes, she never passed the blame onto her employees.

Such a boss is a good boss indeed.

But everyone around her knew that the blow Su Zi received this time was heavy.

So heavy that she would never mention it during the day, only keeping an eye on everyone around her at night.

Chen Pingsheng even watched her in the car, as she phoned each of her friends.

Asking them, if they were secretly the illegitimate child or daughter of some mysterious tycoon.

If so, hurry up and save your Sister Su.

In the end, she's still a 26-year-old young girl, and when Chen Pingsheng was her age, he was running around the streets driving a tricycle selling durians.

Whenever he visited his mother-in-law, he had to endure a couple of cold sarcastic remarks.

Entrepreneurship, after all, is not easy.

No matter how hard it gets for Su Zi, her parents have a net worth in the tens of billions.

Compared to ordinary people, her background already surpasses most.

Back at home, she still seriously prepared dinner for Little Third, Chen Lu.

She would also earnestly accompany him in reviewing his homework.

She would talk to him about some of her thoughts, as Little Third Chen Lu was still young.

At the age of a middle school freshman, he didn't really have a rebellious phase.

This had a lot to do with Chen Pingsheng's careful accompaniment.

Every time Chen Lu shared his thoughts, Chen Pingsheng wouldn't judge him from his own age's perspective.

He would only empathetically tell him that what he did was quite good.

Chen Lu and Su Xiaoxi's relationship returned to what it was before, perhaps because he knew there was no point in avoiding it.

They simply started going to and from school together again.

He, too, once had his childhood sweetheart, who was Chen Lu's mother, Song Yanxi.

That was a very young and beautiful love story.

He was fortunate to have met her, and she was fortunate to have married him, and they achieved and accompanied each other all the way to today.

Chen Lu asked his father, "Dad, since you don't oppose me being friends with Su Xiaoxi, why don't you talk to mom about it?"

"Dad doesn't oppose it, but that doesn't mean he necessarily supports it. Besides, your mom has done so much for you. Your two sisters aren't as favored by mom as you are, you're the one she's always cherished, so if she has objections, you need to understand and try to see things from her perspective."

Alright... Even though his father always said this, Chen Lu knew he was speaking the truth.

He shouldn't hold any grudges against his mother, nor should he let his father try to persuade her.

If he wanted his mother to agree, he would have to do it himself.

If he wanted to improve Su Xiaoxi's family conditions, he'd have to work hard to surpass her.

Unfortunately, Su Xiaoxi's academic talent was only slightly below Er Piya.

And Er Piya's academic talent could only be described as photographic memory, terrifyingly so.

The family was full of talent monsters, and one person dominated the whole clan.

Er Piya sneezed, not knowing who was thinking about her, muttering a couple of mumbled notes.
