The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

In the downtown area of ​​Lucheng, in a familiar high-end villa area, a gray-haired man sat by the floor-to-ceiling window of his room with a cup of coffee in hand, looking sullenly, and looking outside with a heavy gaze, it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

The coffee in his hand was only slightly warm. No one knew how long he had been sitting in this position, nor what he was thinking at this moment.

A few minutes later, the gray-haired elderly man finally took a sip of the almost cold coffee, savored it carefully for a few seconds, but still put the coffee cup on the small round table beside him.

He lowered his head slightly with his eyelids drooping, so it was impossible to see the true expression in his eyes, and it was unknown whether he had fallen asleep.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

The person outside knocked on the door politely and restrainedly, but the elderly man with gray hair did not raise his head because of the knock. He still sat there quietly with his head slightly bowed.

The person outside the door seemed to have gotten used to him doing this. He neither raised his hand to knock on the door nor spoke rashly to urge him.

After a long time, the gray-haired old man let out a long sigh and raised his face.

"Come in."

He said something towards the door without turning his head. The person who had been knocking on the door before opened the door and walked in slowly, walking behind the elderly man at a moderate pace.

"Sir, that man has returned to Lucheng."

The young man who walked into the room was wearing a black long coat and long pants that covered all the skin on his limbs in the hot summer, and a black hat that absorbed the most heat, leaving only the skin on his face exposed.

The young man's facial features were ordinary, the kind of face that no one would remember if you saw him walking around the street twice. But his voice was different from his person. It was deep and slightly hoarse, and it was definitely a tone that many people who were obsessed with voices would fall in love with in one second.

"I see."

The elderly man responded softly, and after a pause, he asked again.

"How's that jerk Tang Dong doing? Has he taken any action?"

When the young man heard the old man mention Tang Dong, he seemed to have prepared the answer to this question and gave it in the next second.

"His preparations were pretty good, but the Tianyu Group Building is not an easy place to get into. I have asked many of my men to assist him, but he has not yet set foot on any other floors of the building except the lobby on the first floor."

After listening to the young man's report, the older man's brows, which had originally relaxed, furrowed slightly again, as if he was quite dissatisfied with the answer.

"I'm not interested in the process. You just need to tell me how long it will take for him to take the first step of his plan?"

The old man's tone was extremely calm when he spoke, but the young man could keenly sense the old man's anger from his seemingly calm words.

"Sir, to be honest...I don't know either."

The young man considered his words for a while and finally decided to tell the older man the truth.

The Tianyu Group that Xu Yiyu was leading was different from any of the groups his master had asked him to infiltrate before. Not only was it impossible to bribe the people working in the group with money, the cohesion among the employees was also very strong. They would not fall for any schemes of sowing discord among them. Their vigilance was even so strong that they would immediately suspect anyone who used such schemes.

He had previously sent people to stake out coffee shops near the group and found out the specific times of several employees who often went to the coffee shops to buy coffee. However, every time he took the opportunity to talk to them, it was fine if they talked about other topics, but as soon as the topic involved the Tianyu Group, he could feel that those people's radars seemed to become active instantly, and they would directly change the subject after giving a perfunctory and ambiguous answer.

The old man finally turned around. The young man saw his livid face and immediately realized that his boss was very angry.

The next second, the coffee cup on the small round table was swept hard by the old man and broke into pieces on the ground in less than half a second.

There was no carpet in the room. The broken pieces of the coffee cup were scattered all over half of the room. The coffee that had not been completely drunk at the bottom of the cup also spilled onto the gray-white floor, forming ugly spots.

A few drops of coffee also splashed on the young man's trouser legs. He felt a chill on his back and reflexively knelt down towards the old man. It seemed as if he had done this action thousands of times and he did it without even a moment of hesitation.

"I wasted my precious patience and asked you to help that loser for so long, and all you gave me in return was a simple "I don't know"?"

The old man's voice became deeper and deeper. If you look closely, you can see that his hands, which seemed calm on the surface, are trembling slightly. It is unclear whether he is angry or disappointed.

He has been active in the business world for so many years, making so many friends and enemies, using them as obstacles and giving them so many gifts, all just to gain the highest voice in the business community of Anhui Province.

But now, one of his most trusted subordinates told him that his plan could not be implemented? He might also fall into the hands of the young Xu who he had always regarded as a thorn in his side because of the failure of this plan?

"Sir, everything I said is true. I don't know what means that person used to win over the employees in the group. The inside is basically a solid block. There is no possibility of breaking in at the moment."

The young man lowered his head, forcing himself to focus his eyes on a piece of white porcelain fragment scattered on the ground, and did not look up at Zhan Li's eyes again.

He knew very well that his words would anger Zhan Li, the boss who had a bad temper and patience, but if he made up a lie to deceive the boss, the boss would only get angrier.

"Don't make excuses. If you don't get in, it just means you didn't offer enough benefits."

Zhan Li growled in a stern voice. He had been in a pleasant mood for a long time, but his emotions suddenly fluctuated so much that his face turned red in an instant.

"Yes, I understand. Sir, please don't get angry. You should take care of your health."

The young man followed Zhan Li's words and admitted his mistake, and the next sentence showed concern for Zhan Li's health.

The reason why he could become Zhan Li's most trusted confidant was mostly due to his abilities, but another part of the reason was that he had a mouth that could tell lies to different people.

Zhan Li, who was furious, seemed to be calmed by these words, and his tone softened a little afterwards.

"Always keep an eye on the movements of that useless guy Tang Dong, and don't let him get out of control."

"Okay sir, I have sent five men to monitor him. He can't escape your sight."

The young man's knees felt a slight sting as he knelt on the ground, but he still gave a calm reply without any hint of perfunctory reply.

Zhan Li seemed to be relieved after learning about Tang Dong's movements. He raised his hand slightly to signal the young man to stand up, and then sat back on the single sofa chair by the floor-to-ceiling window.

"That youngster wants to take my place. I'm afraid he'll have to wait until I pass away!"

Zhan Li looked out the window and whispered to himself in a fierce tone.

He admitted that Xu Yiyu was very capable, but now, he was the one and only richest man in Huizhou Province!
