You Choose an Adopted Son, I Choose Madness - Chapter 95:

Chapter 95: The Plan to Humiliate Su Chen

Early in the morning two days later, after breakfast, Su Zhenxing took Su Chen and Su Mu to the Su Corporation office building.

Upon arriving at the chairman’s office, Su Mu, already familiar with the company, was given free rein to move around and get to work. As for Su Chen, Su Zhenxing insisted on arranging things for him personally. He was determined to make Su Chen’s day as exhausting and “meaningful” as possible. He wanted Su Chen to experience firsthand how hard he worked, hoping that this would make Su Chen respect him more.

He called in Lu Yunfei, the company’s Chief Financial Officer. A thin, sharp-eyed middle-aged man with an unusually high level of energy, Lu Yunfei walked in briskly.

Pointing at Su Chen, Su Zhenxing introduced him.

“Director Lu, this is my useless son, Su Chen.”

“I’ll have to trouble you to guide him today. Make sure Su Chen understands just how busy and demanding things are at Su Corporation.”

As he spoke, he gave Lu Yunfei a knowing wink.

The arrangement had already been made the day before. His only request to Lu Yunfei was simple—make sure Su Chen had an exhausting and difficult day.

Lu Yunfei nodded with a polite smile. With the chairman’s approval, things would be even easier to execute. He could fulfill both the chairman’s request and Su Mu’s at the same time.

Yes, he was already in Su Mu’s camp. Introduced to Su Mu by Vice President Zhang, he had long aligned himself with the younger man.

Su Chen might be the chairman’s biological son, but what a pity.

First, because Su Chen had grown up in an orphanage, he had no elite education or upbringing like Su Mu.

Second, and more importantly, Su Chen had joined the company far too late. By the time he arrived, many of Su Corporation’s senior executives had already pledged their loyalty to Su Mu. If they switched allegiance now, they would have no future in the company. Instead, it was better to push Su Mu to the top and solidify their own positions as the core figures of the corporation.

Of course, Su Zhenxing had no idea about any of this.

After the introductions, he turned to Su Chen with a stern expression.

“Su Chen, Director Lu is a top talent who studied abroad.”

“You better learn from him properly.”

Su Chen smiled slightly as he looked at Lu Yunfei.

Of course, he knew that Lu Yunfei was a highly educated professional with overseas experience. He also knew that in his previous life, Lu Yunfei had been one of Su Mu’s key allies in taking control of Su Corporation.

However, Lu Yunfei had met a rather unfortunate end.

Not that it was Su Mu’s fault—Lu Yunfei had been a heavy drug user.

In the past life, Lu Yunfei had become more and more addicted to heroin. Eventually, he squandered his fortune and even embezzled company funds to fuel his addiction. When his crimes were exposed, Su Mu had no choice but to throw him in jail.

Su Chen chuckled to himself.

Heroin—one of the most dangerous drugs. Addicts needed to use it daily, sometimes multiple times a day.

Lu Yunfei extended his hand with a professional smile, showing neither arrogance nor servility.

“Su Chen, nice to meet you.”

“Today, I’ll make sure to give you a detailed introduction to our financial department’s workflow, as per Chairman Su’s request.”

Looking at him, Su Chen couldn’t help but admire the image of a refined, high-level executive.

Just by appearance alone, no one would ever guess that Lu Yunfei was a deeply addicted drug user.

Shaking hands with him, Su Chen returned the smile.

“Then I’ll be counting on you, Director Lu.”

Their hands met lightly. They both smiled, but each had their own agenda.

Lu Yunfei was thinking about how to humiliate Su Chen today.

Su Chen, on the other hand, was thinking about how unlucky Lu Yunfei was to have crossed paths with him today.

Watching their interaction, Su Zhenxing mistakenly believed that they were getting along well.

He felt optimistic that today would be an educational experience for Su Chen. As he watched Su Chen follow Lu Yunfei to the finance department, he imagined a future where his son respected him deeply.

The thought brought a smile to his face.

He even laughed aloud.

Quickly glancing around to make sure no one had noticed his sudden laughter, he sighed in relief before closing his office door.

Finally alone, he let himself enjoy the fantasy of a perfect future.

Meanwhile, over in the marketing department, Su Mu was reviewing the latest reports while thinking to himself—Su Chen must already be struggling under Lu Yunfei’s setup.

Su Chen, today will be your day of humiliation at Su Corporation.

Today, you will understand that you are completely unqualified to run this company.

Only I, Su Mu, am destined to lead Su Corporation.

At the finance department, after introducing Su Chen to the team, Lu Yunfei immediately assigned him work.

“Su Chen, sit here.”

He pointed to a desk near the entrance of the department, with a large sign that read “Reimbursements.”

“Reimbursements are one of the most critical functions in our finance department.”

“You should start from this role to get a better understanding of our workflow.”

Lu Yunfei smirked internally.

While reimbursements were indeed an essential task, it was also the most tedious, prone to errors, and frequently led to being scolded.

Even finance professionals with four or five years of experience still made mistakes and got yelled at when handling reimbursements.

Putting Su Chen in this role meant he would constantly make errors and be blamed by the company’s employees.

No matter how privileged Su Chen was as the chairman’s son, repeated mistakes would make others question his competence and look down on him.

This way, he could both fulfill Chairman Su’s request to make Su Chen work hard and meet Su Mu’s goal of making Su Chen look incompetent.

Lu Yunfei admired his own cleverness.

He was simply too brilliant.
