Blackening starts from the golden years

Winner Decoration Company, in Mr. Hu’s office.

"how is everything?"

Looking at Jing Yuheng, Mr. Hu said with concern:

"Are you hurt anywhere, Yuheng? I have some safflower oil here, would you like to apply some?"

"No, uncle, it's okay."

Jing Yuheng said calmly. After looking at him, President Hu looked at Cai Yunfeng standing beside him and frowned slightly, saying with some blame:
"Yunfeng, what's going on? This is the headquarters of Winner Company, not a construction site. Aren't these foremen too presumptuous?"

Hearing this, Cai Yunfeng quickly explained:
"No, it happened too suddenly. I didn't react for a while. The main reason is that our young master has an old grudge with Foreman Wang and his men. Maybe they got into a fight today because of a disagreement."

After listening to Cai Yunfeng, President Hu looked at Jing Yuheng and said:
"Xiao Jing, you concealed your true identity. These people don't know who you are, and you called them Zhen, so..."

Following Mr. Hu’s words, Cai Yunfeng said:

"That's what I mean. You said you had to hide your identity and be a small supervisor. Look at the small supervisors who came from the company. Which one is as reckless as you? You are always polite when talking to the foreman."

"Do you think this is right?"

Looking at Cai Yunfeng, Jing Yuheng said:

"There are problems with the quality of Foreman Wang's construction site. As a supervisor, not only can I not bring it up, but I also have to put on a smile for him, right?"

"I am responsible for them. If there is a problem, just tell me directly and I will solve it."

"What are you talking about?"

Seeing Cai Yunfeng and Jing Yuheng arguing, President Hu frowned and said seriously:

"Xiao Jing is the supervisor. He was not wrong to raise the issue after discovering it. Today's incident is mainly your responsibility. You usually neglect management and let your subordinates do what they want. This kind of thing is the inevitable result."

"Yes, yes, it's my fault. I'll ask Foreman Wang to correct it immediately. I'll go to the construction site and supervise them to correct it. Is that ok?"

Looking at Cai Yunfeng, Jing Yuheng said expressionlessly:
"It's not the first or second time that problems have occurred at Foreman Wang's construction sites. The winner cannot keep him."

"No, you're not?"

Hearing that Jing Yuheng wanted to fire Foreman Wang, Cai Yunfeng immediately frowned and said:

"Foreman Wang has been working with our Yingjia for many years and has always been very cooperative. Are you going to fire him just like that?"

Without waiting for Jing Yuheng to speak again, Mr. Hu said in a deep voice:

"Once the project is finished, we will immediately terminate our cooperation with Foreman Wang."

At this time, Jing Yuheng said:

"And Yang Guang."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Hu said:

"Well, since Xiao Jing has spoken, let's deal with it together."

"Okay, let's handle it together."

Cai Yunfeng nodded and said that he could disobey Jing Yuheng, but he couldn't disobey his uncle.

"Wait a moment."

Looking at Mr. Hu and Cai Yunfeng, Jing Yuheng pretended to be a little worried and said:
"Will firing two foremen at the same time have an impact on us as the winners? I think the owner of the Shuiyunyuan project particularly approves of Yang Guang, so let him finish this order first."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Cai Yunfeng agreed immediately.

"Okay, so be it."

Looking at Jing Yuheng, Mr. Hu smiled and said:

"Xiao Jing, now that your current identity has been revealed, let's..."

"Let's maintain the status quo."

Looking at Mr. Hu, Jing Yuheng smiled and said:

"Uncle, when I returned to China and to Winner this time, I found that if I want to take over Winner, I still have a long way to go. I need to learn more from you. Do you think you are willing to teach me?"

"How can I not want to?"

Looking at Jing Yuheng, Mr. Hu smiled and said:

"Your father gave me the company to look after. Sooner or later, it will be in your hands. It is my responsibility to bring you out of this situation."

"Thank you uncle."

After some more probing, Jing Yuheng stood up and left Mr. Hu's office. After he left, Mr. Hu's smile slowly faded. Looking at him, Cai Yunfeng said anxiously:

"Uncle, are you really going to hand over the company to him?"

"What did you say?"

Staring at Cai Yunfeng, Mr. Hu said sternly:
"This is someone else's company. I'm just helping to look after it."

"You really think so?"

Seeing his uncle's serious expression, Cai Yunfeng was a little unsure. He asked doubtfully:
"Then why do you look so gloomy?"

Hearing this, President Hu said meaningfully:
"Xiao Jing concealed his identity and came back this time. It's obvious that he doesn't trust me. I have been working diligently in Winner for so many years. Although his father is the founder of Winner, I still have a lot of credit for Winner's current situation. Yunfeng, Xiao Jing's behavior really makes me feel disappointed."

"understand."

Looking at his uncle, Cai Yunfeng said:
"Their whole family immigrated abroad a long time ago. You have been the one who has been managing Winner. You have worked so hard for it, why should a young boy like him take advantage of you?"

Mr. Hu did not comment. He murmured:

"But the company belongs to someone else after all, and the debt must be repaid. It depends on whether Xiaojing has the ability to do so."

Hearing his uncle say this, Cai Yunfeng thought that he didn't want to retire so early and return the power in his hands to Jing Yuheng. But in fact, his uncle was much more ruthless than he thought. Before returning the company to Jing Yuheng, he wanted to use Winner to make a fortune. Winner Company was founded by Jing Yuheng's father, but he immigrated abroad early. Mr. Hu has always been the actual manager of the company. He helped the Jing family make so much money, but he himself didn't make much money. So, he began to become unbalanced psychologically. Why do I work so hard and only make such a little money?
The people of the Jing family are enjoying a good life abroad. They don't do anything, so why do they take away so much money?

So, Mr. Hu started to think of ways to make money for himself. His methods were not as crude as Cai Yunfeng's. He secretly opened his own decoration materials company, and then these companies became the strategic partners of the winners. Isn't it he who has the final say on the purchase price?

How much money can one make from small-scale operations like Cai Yunfeng's?

Cai Yunfeng replaced the company's decoration materials in the engineering department. Of course, he only dared to replace a small part of it, and then made a little profit from the difference. Little did he know that the legitimate material supplier of the winner was his uncle. What he did was equivalent to deducting some money from his uncle's pocket. His uncle knew everything and was just pretending to be confused. In this way, Mr. Hu made a lot of money. Correspondingly, the money earned by the winner began to decrease year by year. Jing Yuheng came back for this reason.

Back to the point, when Jing Yuheng came out of Mr. Hu's office and returned to the engineering department, a small number of employees immediately surrounded him, calling him the prince, the young master, Mr. Jing, etc., and it was obvious that they wanted to curry favor with him. Looking at these rubbish around him, yes, Jing Yuheng felt that these employees who were just idling around were all rubbish, either idiots or old-timers, none of them were good employees, what is a good employee?
They are good employees because they are willing to work hard, work overtime, have a serious and responsible attitude towards work, do not complain about low wages, and work hard to create value for the company and make their Jing family richer.

Looking at these rubbish employees around him, Jing Yuheng smiled slightly:

"I hope everyone can remain the same as before. Also, everyone can call me Vincent from now on."

"Vincent?"

“Yes, this is my English name.”

Jing Yuheng smiled and looked approachable. These vampires had already learned the hypocritical face. As long as his interests were not touched, he would smile. However, once his interests were touched, he would reveal the ugly side of vampires and would choose someone to devour.

……

Cai Yunfeng walked out of Mr. Hu’s office, found Yang Guang, took him into his office, and then closed the door.

In Cai Yunfeng's office.

Looking at Cai Yunfeng, Yang Guang said directly:
"Boss Cai, please tell me the result directly."

Looking at Yang Guang, Cai Yunfeng asked in confusion: "Don't you two usually get along well on the construction site? Why did you kick him so suddenly?"

"Well, whether the relationship is good or bad, isn't it all a matter of face?"

Looking at Cai Yunfeng, Yang Guang pretended to smile bitterly and said:
"Today, because of the two big orders from Shuiyunyuan, I saw that Foreman Wang didn't seem very satisfied with me, so I wanted to do him a favor, but I didn't expect to kick the master out. How can this kid be so pretentious?"

"Yeah, I have to pretend to be a little supervisor and endure the hardship."

"Mr. Cai, um, does the winner want to terminate the contract with me?"

"Do you care?"

Looking at Yang Guang, Cai Yunfeng frowned and said:
"Aren't you reluctant to come to our winner?"

"No, that was before."

Yang Guang smiled and said:

"If I hadn't come to Yingjia, how could I have gotten such a good project like Shuiyunyuan? Mr. Cai, can you tell me the truth? Can I still do this?"

"Yang Guang, I'm telling you the truth. Jing Yuheng can't tolerate you. After you finish the Shuiyunyuan project, you will leave Yingjia."

"Ah? Is there no other way?"

"No, that kick you gave was too hard, leaving no room for maneuver."

"It's my fault. I'm used to being on the construction site, so I didn't know how to kick him lightly. I kicked him hard accidentally."

"You can't be blamed for all this."

Cai Yunfeng said:

"You said he had to pretend to be something, some small supervisor, and he deserved to be beaten. However, you have been in Yingjia for a short time, and it is not a loss to receive such a big order from Shuiyunyuan. You should work hard."

Looking at Cai Yunfeng, Yang Guang said tentatively:
"Boss Cai, I'll tell you the truth. I estimate that the Shuiyunyuan project is my last project at Winner. Look at this, this, this, this, the engineering department directly took 35% of the money. I really can't make any money."

Looking at Yang Guang, Cai Yunfeng said:
"Tsk, how can you be so rigid? When we do engineering, we can't be rigid. You said you have made money after working for so many years? No, it's because you don't know how to operate. Do you think that we, who do renovation, just buy some materials and install them for people, it's that simple?"

"I know there's a lot of knowledge involved, but I haven't done any research. How about this? Mr. Cai, please help me plan the Shuiyunyuan project. Let's make money together, and you can get the lion's share."

Looking at Yang Guang, Cai Yunfeng frowned slightly and said:
"Are you trying to trick me here? If you don't work with the winner, why should I work with the winner?"

"No, you see, with President Jing showing up today, no one knows what the future winner will be, right?"

Looking at Cai Yunfeng, Yang Guang said:
"I don't believe that someone as smart as you, Mr. Cai, doesn't have plans for his future. And as for the Shuiyunyuan project, as you said, if it is handled well, it will definitely make a lot of money. How about you plan it and I'll do the execution. You decide how much to share, okay? You eat the meat and I drink the soup, okay?"

"Okay, then you go back first."

Cai Yunfeng was moved. He felt that he had no grudges against Yang Guang. This was a matter that would benefit everyone, and it was Yang Guang who proposed it. It was impossible for him to deliberately frame him, so he didn't think much about it and agreed directly.
"Tomorrow, I'll give you a quote tomorrow and we'll talk in detail."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

"Well, go back."

"it is good."

……

A few months later.

Maybe it was because Yang Guang's acting skills were too good. He fully gained Cai Yunfeng's trust and called Cai Yunfeng "Big Brother". Cai Yunfeng took him to buy fake materials and taught him how to pass off inferior materials as good ones during the decoration process and to mix fake materials with real materials. For example, real materials were used in conspicuous places, like the bathroom, under the sofa in the living room, and under the bed in the bedroom, while high-imitation fake materials were used in hidden places.

There are also quotations, which have to be a thick stack, just like an insurance contract, with each item quoted separately. For example, a door can be divided into door frame, door panel, door paint, door lock, door handle, etc. The more complicated it is, the better, so that customers will not take a serious look at it. As long as the price of each item is raised a little bit, they can make a lot of money. There are many such tricks. Yang Guang praised Cai Yunfeng as a genius, which made Cai Yunfeng very happy. He was sold and even helped others count money.

Yang Guang wrote down all of this and gave it to Jing Yuheng, except for one thing: Yang Guang did not use fake materials during the decoration, but paid for the real materials himself, which neither Cai Yunfeng nor Jing Yuheng knew.

After getting the black material on Cai Yunfeng, Jing Yuheng was very excited. He took the evidence directly to confront Mr. Hu and claimed that Cai Yunfeng used fake materials such as fish belly white rock slabs in the Shuiyunyuan project, which seriously damaged the reputation of the winner. He demanded that he be fired immediately and held accountable. Jing Yuheng was very excited at this time. He felt that he had not only removed the cancer of Cai Yunfeng, but also hit the prestige of Mr. Hu. It was simply killing two birds with one stone.

After seeing Jing Yuheng's evidence, Mr. Hu's face sank. He finally fell out with Jing Yuheng. Of course, on the surface, he still had to handle things impartially. He took Cai Yunfeng, Yang Guang, Chen Xi, Ye Lan, and a group of the company's management and supervisors to Shuiyunyuan for inspection. During the process, Yang Guang was fine because he knew that the materials he used were real. But Cai Yunfeng didn't know. He was so scared that his legs were shaking and his face was covered with sweat. Seeing how guilty he was, everyone felt that he was almost certain.

President Hu's heart sank. He had been telling Cai Yunfeng to behave himself recently, but Jing Yuheng still caught him with a fatal handle. Looking at President Hu's gloomy face and Cai Yunfeng's sweaty face, Jing Yuheng was very proud. He felt that the dawn of victory was just around the corner.

But then, things took a turn for the better, and after careful inspection by Chen Xi and others, they found that the materials used were real. Cai Yunfeng was no longer panicked. He felt that the fake materials he bought were good and had actually deceived the eyes of Chen Xi and others. At the same time, he also felt that Chen Xi and others were just pretending to be so good. Look, didn’t they see through his fake materials?

It was a false alarm, and Mr. Hu and others were relieved. Only Jing Yuheng had a gloomy face. He glared at Yang Guang secretly, which made Mr. Hu see it and instantly understood what was going on. Only Cai Yunfeng was stupid and still didn't know that it was his good brother Yang Guang who betrayed him. He still thought that the fake materials he bought this time were really good and he could buy more next time.

Seeing Cai Yunfeng's happy face, Mr. Hu, who was old and experienced, could tell what he was thinking at a glance. He couldn't help but glared at him, and then in front of everyone, he looked at Jing Yuheng with a gloomy face and smiled:

"Yuheng, what's wrong? Are you disappointed to find out that the materials are all real? With your mentality, how can I trust you to be the winner?"

Jing Yuheng forced a smile and explained himself, but everyone present was not a fool. Except for Cai Yunfeng, everyone knew what he was thinking. Everyone despised such a despicable person, but they just didn't say it out loud.

Looking at the contemptuous eyes of the crowd, Jing Yuheng's mentality was completely unbalanced. He blamed everything on Yang Guang and felt that it was Yang Guang who harmed him.

After returning, President Hu called Jing Yuheng to his office, and the two reached a deal in the office. When Jing Yuheng walked out of President Hu's office, everyone saw that he looked like a bereaved person, as if he had been played by President Hu.

Soon, General Manager Hu issued a notice that Cai Yunfeng was dismissed for lax supervision. As for the inflated quotation of the Shuiyunyuan project, it was all the responsibility of Yang Guang, the contractor. Obviously, Yang Guang was sold out by Jing Yuheng and he became the scapegoat of this matter. The most important thing was that he was indeed involved in this matter. It was over now. The winner let him take the blame on the condition that he would not be held responsible, and got Cai Yunfeng out of it. Strictly speaking, Yang Guang was not wronged, he deserved it, and he himself was very clear about this, so he did not pursue it further, but left the winner in disgrace. At the same time, the winner also returned the contract signed by Fugen to Yang Guang.

In this incident, Cai Yunfeng lost his position as director of the engineering department and was fired by Yingjia. Yang Guang was tarnished, but he got Fugen's contract, which solved Fugen's crisis of going to jail. But whether it was worth it or not, only Yang Guang knew it. There was also Jing Yuheng. President Hu gave him the position of director of the engineering department, but he was completely sidelined by President Hu. Rumors began to spread in the company, saying that he designed Cai Yunfeng for his own selfish interests, even at the expense of Yingjia's reputation. If a person's reputation is tarnished, it is naturally impossible to get the sincerity of others.

In the company, Jing Yuheng was isolated. People no longer gathered around him, thinking that there was nothing great about him as a small boss. He usually pretended to be serious, but now he was easily controlled by President Hu.
After dealing with Jing Yuheng, President Hu started to target Ye Lan again. He knew that Jing Yuheng was brought into the company by Ye Lan. He wanted to clean out all the people in the company who did not belong to him, and then speed up the transfer of the winner's money. Now Jing Yuheng's father is abroad for treatment. If he comes back, President Hu knows that he will have no chance.

Unfortunately, Mr. Hu calculated wrongly. Ye Lan was no longer Jing Yuheng's woman. She was Yuan Xudong's woman. So, when Mr. Hu targeted Ye Lan, she took the opportunity to leave. In this way, it was not that she betrayed the winner, but that the winner and Mr. Hu could not tolerate her. After she left, Chen Xi and many designers resigned together and went to a new company together. Chen Xi was the director of the design department, Ye Lan was the general manager of the company, and Yuan Xudong was the big boss.

Upon hearing the news, Mr. Hu secretly thought that he had made a mistake and helped Ye Lan. However, he didn't care much. He was already very old and just wanted to make money desperately. As for the future of the winner, he didn't care. He planned to immigrate abroad with his family after making enough money, just like Jing Yuheng's father Jing Moshan. It's not that he thinks the moon is rounder abroad, but he did something bad and wanted to run away. He embezzled the winner's money, so it is safer abroad.

Ever since Yang Guang's affair spread in the circle, Sunshine Studio has had no business. Mother Song saw it and was worried, so she asked Yuan Xudong for help. Yuan Xudong had no objection and helped Yang Guang, letting him be the company's foreman. As for the director of the company's engineering department, he hired one but did not let Yang Guang take the position, mainly because Yang Guang had personality problems and Yuan Xudong was afraid that he would cause his new company to go bankrupt.

After a long time, Yang Guang discovered that Yuan Xudong had many girlfriends. He couldn't stand it anymore and told Song Xiaoyu about it. He felt that his sister was a good girl and Yuan Xudong was a bad guy, a scumbag, so he advised her to leave. As a result, Song Xiaoyu said that she was willing and she would never leave Yuan Xudong. If Yang Guang dared to tell her mother about this, it would only cause a fierce conflict between her and her mother and destroy her current happy life. In that case, she would hate him for the rest of her life and would never forgive him.

Yang Guang was silent. He didn't expect his sister to be such a person. He knew that Song Xiaoyu was serious and her mother's health was not good, so Yang Guang was silent. He no longer cared about Song Xiaoyu, as long as Yuan Xudong didn't bully her.

Putting aside Yuan Xudong's scumbag behavior, he was still very good to Song Xiaoyu. He bought her whatever she wanted and let her live the life of a rich lady. So after realizing that the happiness Song Xiaoyu wanted was to live such a wealthy life, Yang Guang no longer cared about it, but worked seriously and returned to his previous peaceful life.

Not long after, old Fugen, who had disappeared for a long time, came back. He knelt on the ground crying and begged Yang Guang to take him in. After everyone’s questioning, it turned out that he was infatuated with a small internet celebrity and spent hundreds of thousands on her. He went through a lot of hardships and finally met the little cutie he had been thinking about day and night. As a result, he collapsed. The other party turned out to be a fat Abi beast, uglier than the yellow-faced woman in his family. He almost vomited, and then he began to ask the other party to return the hundreds of thousands to him, but how could it be possible?
In the end, the little cutie called the police, and Fugen was taken away by the police, educated, and then released. In the words of the police, his money would not be returned, and he was an adult and had to be responsible for his actions.

Fugen suddenly collapsed. He said that he was cheated and that the little cutie didn’t look like that at all. Then he learned what beauty filters and makeup are. Legally, beauty filters and makeup are not illegal. In short, Fugen’s hundreds of thousands of dollars were gone.

The most important thing is that these hundreds of thousands were all borrowed, or he owed other people's wages, such as Sun Ning's 80,000. With no other options, he came to Yang Guang, knelt on the ground with a thick face, and begged Yang Guang to save him, otherwise he would have no choice but to commit suicide.

Seeing that his behavior was more like moral blackmail than begging, Sun Ning would not indulge him. She said directly:

"Then you can just die. When you die, your debts are gone and I don't want my 80,000 yuan anymore."

Of course Old Fugen was reluctant to die. If he really wanted to die, he would have died long ago. Why would he come to beg Yang Guang?

In the end, Yang Guang helped Lao Fugen up and promised to take him in and help him. In this way, Yang Guang found himself another father who owed hundreds of thousands of debts. Sun Ning and the others did not think that Yang Guang's behavior was touching. They just felt that he was still a bachelor with no money, no house and no car. Song Xiaoyu was unwilling to marry him, and it was all his own fault.

Of course, at least Lao Fugen was grateful to Yang Guang. He felt that Yang Guang was a good person, while Sun Ning and others around him were not good people.

Days passed, and one day, Ye Lan and Yuan Xudong said that Winner was finished. President Hu ran away with the money and went to the free United States with his family, leaving the mess to Jing Yuheng. A large number of suppliers and engineering teams, as well as some customers who had paid deposits, crowded into Winner's company to ask for money, but Winner had no money left. The company went bankrupt and could not even pay the employees' salaries.

Just like that, the winner disappeared. Jing Yuheng's father died of illness abroad, and Jing Yuheng went abroad to handle the funeral.

Later, Yuan Xudong saw a hot news on Weibo that an elderly Chinese man was robbed by several thugs in the United States. He was shot three times and his clothes and shoes were taken away. Yuan Xudong widened his eyes slightly. Oh my god, isn’t this Mr. Hu?

Is he going to heaven to enjoy happiness?
Yuan Xudong was somewhat suspicious. Could it be that Jing Yuheng was taking revenge on Mr. Hu? Did he hire someone to kill him?

After all, Jing Yuheng's father died suddenly of illness, and it is possible that he was angered by President Hu. This can be regarded as revenge for the murder of his father.

Soon, Yuan Xudong dispelled this speculation. It turned out that this was an accident. According to the investigation of the U.S. police, those gangsters were habitual offenders. When they robbed Mr. Hu, he tried to resist and call for help, and then he was shot. If he had been robbed obediently, he would have been fine.

My goodness, once you go abroad, your personal safety level drops sharply. Yuan Xudong takes this as a warning and plans to stay in the country in the future. The motherland is still the safest place.
