I nodded: "Absolutely. An alumnus with such outstanding achievements as you will definitely have school leaders personally accompanying you."

He smiled modestly: "Dealing with those things is tiring too. I'd rather have some freedom."

I joked, "That's the trouble of successful people. For us ordinary people, we can just sit back and be spectators."

Su Shenglin was embarrassed by my praise, lowered his head and smiled, then suddenly said, "On the school anniversary, we can go back to our alma mater together."

"Oh? I'm about to take the subway, do you want to come with me?"

I imagine the centennial celebration will be a grand affair, and the area around the school will be completely congested.

For safety reasons, the school won't allow so many outside vehicles to enter; it's much more convenient and faster to take the subway.

"You dressed up so nicely to take the subway?" Su Shenglin raised an eyebrow slightly, then said, "I'll pick you up that day; my car can enter the school from the north gate."

"Is that so?" I was a little surprised, but it also seemed very reasonable.

It's normal for someone of his rank and status to have some privileges; he'll definitely receive the highest level of treatment when he returns to his alma mater.

Forget about the car being allowed on campus; the leaders would have already lined the streets to welcome them even before they arrived.

Thinking about that scene, I hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, but I have to get off early. I can't ride in your car all the way in."

I don't have that honor of being greeted by school leaders.

Su Shenglin chuckled softly, "Alright, we'll talk about it later."

"Yes!" I nodded emphatically, feeling even more excited for the school anniversary.

"Hey, bro, why don't you two come upstairs and have a good chat?" Chen Muxi's voice suddenly came from inside the carriage.

My ears twitched, and I snapped out of my daze. I quickly said, "You should get in the car and go back now, so that Mrs. Su won't keep worrying."

As we were talking, I saw my car also driving towards the entrance of the residential area.

Secretary Ji returned my car.

"Okay, I'm going back. Get in the car and sit down. It's cold, don't catch a chill after drinking." Su Shenglin saw my car return and pointed.

"Okay, bye-bye." Thinking that I should guide Secretary Ji, I quickly said goodbye to him and got into my car.

That night, I was immersed in a hazy, ethereal feeling, even humming a song while taking a shower.

Thinking back to the feeling of being so close to him in the car, I was still feeling happy before I went to sleep.

I'm really crazy.

She had just been hurt terribly by one man, and then, without learning her lesson, she became infatuated with another.

I kept reminding myself in my mind—Jiang Wan, wake up! You can't let yourself get carried away by love anymore!

But another voice is protesting – Jiang Wan, it's not easy to meet someone you admire and like in this lifetime!

As my consciousness began to drift into darkness, my reason was once again defeated by my emotions.

He is Su Shenglin!

Even if I'm deceived by him, even if I can't have the love I want, even if I'm heartbroken, as long as I can enjoy the wonderful feeling of being moved, infatuated, and intoxicated, it's enough to offset all the negative effects.

The next day, I went back to the studio to continue working overtime.

While I was still on my way, my aunt called.

It seems she has already considered my suggestion last night and made a decision.

"Hey, Auntie."

"Xiao Wan, are you up yet?" My aunt smiled kindly and spoke gently. I immediately understood that she had decided to buy all the shares I had, but probably wanted to negotiate a lower price.

I pretended not to know anything, saying, "I got up early and am on my way to the company. I still have to work overtime."

"Oh dear, that must have been really tiring."

I continued to play dumb, smiled, and agreed.

She didn't mention it, and neither did I; we wanted to see who would lose their temper first.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then the aunt couldn't hold back any longer: "Xiao Wan, about the shares you mentioned yesterday, your uncle and I discussed it all night, and we both felt that it's better for the company to be in the hands of our own family, so we decided to buy all the shares under your name, but—"

She hesitated for a moment, then smiled cautiously, "Could the total price be a little lower? We really don't have that much money."

Just as I predicted, it turned out exactly the same.

As I drove, I handled the situation with ease: "Auntie, I'm having a tough time right now. I owe 300 million yuan, and I'm so worried that I can't sleep or feel anxious. I'm even losing clumps of hair. You see, I'm working overtime for two days straight this weekend. The pressure is too much, and I don't dare to rest at all."

I have long seen through human nature, and I have also seen through these Jiang family relatives.

Being kind and soft-hearted towards them does me no good at all.

They got the benefit but acted innocent, secretly laughing at me for being stupid, naive, and easily deceived.

Therefore, I will not back down an inch now.

Sure enough, after I started playing the victim, my aunt couldn't say anything more. "Sigh... I know you've had a tough time."

"Yes, if I can't pay off my debts in time, I'll have to give the company away, sigh..."

After hearing my long sighs, my aunt hesitated for a while before saying, "Then... how about 60 million to buy all the shares under your name?"

"Yes, I won't keep a single penny; I'll give it all away. Once my aunt becomes the largest shareholder of the company, the position of general manager will definitely be yours. As long as the company doesn't run into any problems, you'll earn back this 60 million in a year or two. Moreover, with a company under your name, you'll be first-generation entrepreneurs, and your cousins ​​will be second-generation rich kids. When they get married, they'll have a lot of leverage, and the partners they find will definitely be of equal social standing. With this powerful alliance, your family will achieve a complete leap in social class."

After saying these words, I couldn't help but applaud myself in my heart.

When exactly did I become like this?

Does becoming a boss automatically grant one a natural talent for making empty promises and using psychological manipulation (PUA)?

As expected, my sister-in-law was immediately convinced by my words and laughed, "That's true, you really think long-term. Okay, it's settled then, so when shall we sign the agreement?"

To avoid any unforeseen complications, I said, "Tomorrow, Monday, I'll go to the company at nine o'clock in the morning to sign the contract in front of all the shareholders, and I'll also announce the personnel appointments at the shareholders' meeting."

"Okay, then tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, I couldn't help but laugh as I drove.

After being bullied by the Jiang family for so many years, they have finally turned the tables.

Years later, even if Jiang Haiyang gets out of prison and wants to take back the company, it will have nothing to do with me.

Let the siblings fight amongst themselves.

At nine o'clock the next morning, I arrived at Ocean Trade Center on time.

We signed the equity transfer agreement smoothly, and my aunt transferred 60 million to me on the spot.

Looking at the bank card notification, I felt reassured and stood up with a smile, saying, "Congratulations, Auntie! From now on, you'll be in charge of the ocean trade."

My aunt and uncle were overjoyed, and their conversation immediately became animated, "From now on, it's our turn to make our mark!"

In the conference room, all the shareholders witnessed this scene, and naturally, some were happy while others were sad.

However, after I led the applause, the other shareholders followed suit and applauded.

With this gesture, the couple immediately felt the prestige and grandeur of being bosses, and they laughed with immense pride and joy.

Suddenly, the conference room door was violently kicked open—
