From Wage Slave to Tycoon

Director Li, who still had an angry look on his face, froze on the spot. He forced a smile as he looked at Su Chen and asked, "Mr. Su, is this your sister?"

Su Chen glanced at him and said coolly, "Who else would she be?"

For a moment, Director Li was at a loss. He was trapped, unsure whether to stay or go.

’Someone who can casually throw around two million like it’s nothing can’t be a simple person.’ He wanted to slap himself. ’I must have been blinded by greed.’

Fortunately, his phone rang just then. Without a second thought, Director Li answered it.

"You need me for something? Okay, I’ll be right down!"

After hanging up, Director Li forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace. "Mr. Su, please take your time discussing the contract. I have something else to attend to."

Director Li had barely taken two steps when Su Chen’s voice stopped him. "Director Li, do you think I should report this to your university’s leadership?"

Chen Fei stepped forward, blocking Director Li’s path.

Director Li shivered in fear. Whenever he pulled something like this, he always did his homework first, investigating the target’s background. If they were a pushover, he’d make his move. If they had connections, he’d pretend he saw nothing.

But this had all happened so suddenly that he hadn’t had time to investigate. All he knew was that someone was investing in a Hanfu brand, and when he heard the sum of two million, he was too tempted to think straight.

"I... I..." Director Li opened his mouth, but no words came out.

"Mr. Su, let me handle this," Wang Yue said unexpectedly.

Su Chen glanced at Wang Yue, gave a slight nod, and waved a hand at Chen Fei.

Chen Fei immediately stepped aside. Seeing his chance, Director Li left in a hurry without the slightest hesitation.

"Go get a new contract," Su Chen said, tossing the one in his hand onto the table.

"Hmm?" Wang Yue gave Su Chen a puzzled look, then picked up the contract and scanned it. To her surprise, Party A was listed as the "Entrepreneurship Center," and the recipient for the payment was "Li Sihai"—none other than Director Li.

She instantly understood the look Su Chen had given her earlier. ’He was telling me there was something wrong with this contract.’

"Nannan, what is this?" Wang Yue asked, handing the contract to Qin Nan.

Qin Nan, still wondering why their expressions had changed so quickly, took the contract. Her face darkened the moment she saw it. "Yuanyuan, this isn’t the standard contract we printed!"

For investment deals like this, they always used a standard contract template printed at the Entrepreneurship Center. Qin Nan clearly remembered that this was not the one she had printed.

"It must have been when Director Li said he needed to review the contract. He must have swapped it then!" Zhao Ya quickly explained what had happened earlier.

It turned out that after the two of them printed the contract, Director Li had stopped them and asked a few questions. That explained how he knew Mr. Su’s name the moment he walked in.

Hearing this, Wang Yue shot the two of them an exasperated look. Qin Nan and Zhao Ya knew they had made a huge mistake and walked to the side, their heads bowed in shame.

"Mr. Su, please wait just a little longer."

"It’s fine. I’m not in a hurry," Su Chen said nonchalantly.

Wang Yue was about to go get the contract herself, but Su Qingya beat her to it. Seeing this, Wang Yue had no choice but to sit back down.

A cold glint flashed in Wang Yue’s eyes as she looked at the fraudulent contract on the table. She picked it up and deliberately placed it in her bag.

Su Chen saw everything. He knew Wang Yue was planning to deal with Director Li later.

Su Qingya returned quickly with the new contract. A quick look confirmed it was correct this time.

They signed the contract in less than ten minutes, and Su Chen immediately transferred the two million to Wang Yue’s account.

Wang Yue was reluctant to accept the money into her personal account, but their fledgling startup didn’t have a corporate one yet. As for Qin Nan and the others, they certainly didn’t have the nerve to take it.

After what had happened, the two of them were still filled with remorse.

Su Chen checked the time. It was almost one o’clock, so he suggested they all get something to eat.

Wang Yue and the others agreed without hesitation, suggesting a place near the university.
