Chapter 75: Bluffing Xia Shiyu!

Su Lin quickly received the information transmitted by the system about the protagonist, Lin Tian. Born into a family of high-ranking officials, Lin Tian’s father, Lin Yourong, was a former soldier and a top-ranking officer.

Initially, Lin Tian led a life of indulgence, but on the day of his high school graduation, he was reborn.

Unlike Ye Feng, the waste protagonist, Lin Tian was highly capable. However, in his previous life, his father was killed in a car accident, and his mother passed away soon after.

After graduating from university, Lin Tian entered the world of commerce and, after 20 years, became a billionaire.

His life took a drastic turn when he died from excessive drinking during his company’s IPO celebration, only to wake up 20 years earlier, before his father’s accident.

After his rebirth, Lin Tian saved his father and discovered the accident was linked to an employee of the Su’s Construction Group.

Blaming Su Zhen Guo for his father’s accident, Lin Tian harbored deep resentment. Though the accident was later proven to be unintentional, Lin Tian’s two decades of hatred couldn’t be extinguished.

He decided to take down Su Zhen Guo and Su Lin through business means. Starting with a supermarket, he partnered with Zhao Yanyan to compete against Su Lin…

The data ended there.

“System, why does it end here? What about Lin Tian’s subsequent actions?”

[Host, future events are for you to unfold.].

“Can I just kill him now?” Su Lin asked, somewhat eager.

[Sorry, Host. Killing Lin Tian now would result in sanctions.].

“So, I can only suppress Lin Tian through business and winning over the female leads?”

[Correct, Host. You can use the rules to your advantage and plan ahead.].

“Got it! This is getting more challenging.”

[Host, this is just a basic protagonist. Not a big challenge.].

Su Lin: “…”

“I know it’s not a big challenge, just more difficult compared to Ye Feng.”

With over a month before Lin Tian’s rebirth, Su Lin had ample time to plan and give Lin Tian a harsh setback. Resolved to be ruthless, Su Lin knew they were destined to be adversaries.

“Su Lin… Su Lin!!!”

“Ah, Xiaoyu!” Su Lin snapped back to reality and saw Xia Shiyu pouting at him, looking aggrieved.

“What’s wrong, Xiaoyu?”

“You were thinking about Xiaowan, right? She’ll be back tomorrow.”

“No… I was thinking about work.” Su Lin smiled.

“But you never get distracted by work when we’re alone together.”

Su Lin playfully smacked Xia Shiyu’s buttocks: “Could I ever lie to you, Xiaoyu? You just haven’t been disciplined for a few days and forgot my seriousness.”

Xia Shiyu defensively covered her backside, “Then what were you thinking about so deeply? I called you several times, and you didn’t respond.”

Su Lin sighed, “What else? Of course, it’s about the supermarket’s expansion plan.”

“Expansion plan?”

“Yes. Xiaoyu, what do you think we should do if Quan Le Gou becomes a hit?”

Xia Shiyu pondered, unaware that Su Lin was testing her. “Expand across Zhongjiang City’s seven districts. If we have enough talent, open six at once; if not, start with three.”

“Just that?”

“If possible, open one in Donghai after summer vacation. Use land loans and the company’s cash flow to continue expanding.”

She became more passionate as she spoke, envisioning a bold expansion strategy common in that era. However, such tactics brought challenges in management and talent.

“But managing and talent reserves would be a problem,” Su Lin said casually.

“We could recruit from universities. I plan to attend Donghai University, so I could arrange a partnership with the school and bring in management talent to help you.”

Surprised by Xia Shiyu’s plan, Su Lin admired her boldness but knew each step had to be perfect to avoid a chain reaction.

“Xiaoyu, make a detailed plan and show it to me before summer vacation.”

“You mean to follow my expansion plan?” Xia Shiyu was taken aback.

Su Lin nodded, “We have money, so let’s expand aggressively.”

“But weren’t you going to handle the strategic issues?”

“Your strategic vision matches mine, but you’re more meticulous. You’re the best person for this.”

Xia Shiyu looked at Su Lin skeptically, feeling like he was flattering her to be lazy.

Su Lin, embarrassed by her gaze, said, “Xiaoyu, I still have to deal with Donghai. You can’t expect me to manage both Zhongjiang and Donghai.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes… I guess.”

“Alright, I’ll reluctantly agree then.”

Su Lin embraced Xia Shiyu gently, “Don’t overwork yourself. Learn to delegate.”

“Okay!!!”.
