Chapter 524: Chapter 525: Tricking me Hard

"This is the grand blueprint of our Tianchu Group!" Chu Wenting exclaimed with pride, his arms outstretched, as he delivered the closing remarks to clients nearby.

"Applause!" A chorus of approval erupted from the crowd behind him. They were almost chanting praises.

Chu Wenting was in his fifties, but his appearance bore no traces of old age. His gaze was soft and lively, he was courteous, and his demeanor was gentle.

A woman swaying her hips slowly approached Chu Wenting’s side and whispered something into his ear.

His eyebrows furrowed instantly, he looked at his secretary in surprise, who was nodding in agreement with a lingering look of astonishment in her eyes—she must have been astonished when she received the message, too.

"Excuse me, I have a little matter to attend to now, but I should be back soon." Chu Wenting turned to the clients, a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Ha-ha, don’t worry about it, President Chu. Take care of your business."

"Xiao Hua, you guys take care of General Zhang, okay? If you don’t, I will hold you personally responsible."

"Polite, too polite."

"Rest assured, President Chu."

"Okay, see you soon."

Chu Wenting and his secretary then left the crowd. As they did, Chu Wenting’s face turned somewhat solemn as he spoke to the woman by his side.

"Is it really the Little Ancestor who called me over?"

"Confirmed by the liaison office."

Chu Wenting was somewhat puzzled. Chu You, who usually isn’t involved in the business, is also a student. Could it be that he is now interested in managing the company? Haha, it must be out of interest. This kid, who tends to live life leisurely, I wonder what he wants to tell me.

Arriving on the floor where Chu You’s office was located, Chu Wenting approached the door. There was a vacant front desk next to the entrance, usually staffed by a clerk if it were any other executive.

"Knock, knock, knock!" Chu Wenting knocked on the door.

The door swung open, but it wasn’t Chu You who opened it. It was a familiar face, known to Chu Wenting. His name was Xiang Xing, the Deputy Director of the Executive Department, and also Chu You’s Special Administrative Assistant.

The two had a cordial relationship. Chu Wenting knew that Xiang Xing was not one to latch onto, with no influence in Tianchu Group. He never took sides, only concerned with his work, treating everyone equally. In Chu Wenting’s eyes, it was as if Chu You’s name was etched onto Xiang Xing’s forehead.

Strictly speaking, Xiang Xing didn’t side with Elder Li Yuan either. The fact that he had managed to maintain his independence amid the complex environment of Tianchu’s high-level executives was proof of his wisdom and ability to handle situations.

The two exchanged small smiles before Xiang Xing stepped aside, allowing Chu Wenting to enter. Glancing around the room, Chu Wenting’s gaze landed on Chu You, who was sitting in the much-coveted position—a position Chu Wenting had dreamt of occupying more than once.

The door closed behind him, but Xiang Xing did not leave. Instead, finding a corner to stand in, quietly observing.

Chu You was dressed in a fitted high-end suit. His black, short hair and suit accentuated the fairness of his skin. He seemed youthful, handsome, and supremely confident.

Keeping his gaze focused on some printed materials, he never once glanced up at his Uncle.

"Nephew, why did you come to the company today without giving your uncle a heads up? Did you want to see your uncle?" Chu Wenting maintained a friendly smile on his face, which was rather infectious.

Chu You smiled in response. However, Chu Wenting felt a chill down his spine. This was not a smile of reminiscing the past. It was a dangerous smile.

"Since we are in the company, I won’t call you in terms of seniority. So, what should I call you? Deputy President? Or Operations Manager?"

"What do you mean, Nephew? Our bond is stronger than anything. Are you trying to distance yourself from me?" Chu Wenting maintained his soft-spoken manner, but his face revealed a very subtle change.

"Haha, our bond is merely that."

"Chu You, what do you mean by that?" Chu Wenting’s expression hardened, and he asked with a stern tone.

"What do you mean? Are you still pretending to be naive?" Chu You’s smiling face disappeared. Xiang Xing, who was standing in the corner, subtly shifted his gaze away from the pair.

"You are not here to help me manage the company, but to slowly erode Tianchu. You all disappoint me."

"Chu You, those words were too much. You have no evidence. Who taught you this? If you don’t give me a proper explanation today, I’m not leaving!" Chu You’s words enraged Chu Wenting, his aura flaring, his gaze fixed on Chu You, exerting his paternal authority.

In his mind, Chu You had always lost himself in the luxurious world, never advancing in his studies. How could he know what was happening in the company? It must be someone else secretly inciting Chu You.

Alright then, since that’s the case, I’ll give you an unforgettable lesson today!

"Haha, who are you trying to frighten?"

Chu Wenting inwardly gasped. Chu You’s calm smile, his eyes watching him from the corner, his attitude, all indicating that he had everything under control. Could it be that this kid really came prepared, ready to challenge me? A feeling of foreboding washed over Chu Wenting.

’Beep!’ The sound of a button being pressed echoed in the room, and a video appeared on the large screen inside the office, featuring a man and a woman inside a hotel room.

"Enjoy! It’s quite spectacular."

As Chu Wenting turned his attention to the big screen, his pupils contracted in shock. He knew the people in the video all too well, for it was himself.

A surge of fury welled up inside him, he couldn’t suppress it anymore, he sharply turned his gaze to Chu You, almost roaring, "Chu You, you’ve been spying on me!!!"

However, Chu You simply shrugged his shoulders, an airy look on his face.

"Spying on you? God is watching, you know. You stumbled into a room with a hidden camera, and didn’t even know you were recorded. And coincidentally, the person who set the camera knew you, so they sold the video to me!" As he spoke, the introductory dialogue in the video started.

’Wenting, could you be more specific about when you’re going to promote me? Oh, don’t touch me, tell me first.’

’Hehe, as soon as I manage to transfer your superior away, I’ll promote you. Don’t worry, he’ll be gone in a week at most.’

’Really?! Ah, right, doesn’t promoting me to that position need the president’s approval?’

’President? You mean my nephew? Why should you care about him, no one recognizes him in Tianchu anyway. He’s nothing but a playboy with no ambition. Honestly, I’ve never taken him seriously. And you know as well, I’m the real president of Tianchu!’

’Ah, I haven’t even taken a bath yet.’

’Ha-ha, that’s how I like it!’

"Stop playing it!!!" Chu Wenting roared, he knew the later half of the video contained not only their explicit acts, but also detailed his actual corruption in Tianchu Group.

Chu You pressed the pause button, "Why are you getting so angry, the best part is yet to come!"

"Chu You, you’re ruthless, you’ve really outdone yourself, using such tactics against your own uncle, well done."

"What’s so great about that! You still seem dissatisfied." After saying this, Chu You picked up a paper bag from the table, walked over to Chu Wenting, and handed it over.

"What’s this?" Chu Wenting took the bag with sweaty palms, staring blankly at Chu You.

"Don’t look at me like that, take this and go through it. You, oh you, for these two years I was gone, you truly took the opportunity to plot against me. I once trusted you so much, it turns out, a thief is hardest to guard against within the family!"
