152: Chapter 152 What a clever little Xia Ning, even resorting to using others to do her dirty work?

"Ningning, for the sake of your future happiness, if you're sick, you need to get treated."

"I know a really good old TCM doctor."

Niu Xiaojun doubled over laughing, tears streaming down her face.

Xia Ning: "..."

She turned her head to glance at Niu Xiaojun, whose reaction was a bit too exaggerated, shook her head, and a smile that no one noticed curled at the corner of her lips.

Niu Xiaojun was still laughing, wishing she could roll on the floor.

Xia Ning couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Niu Xiaojun; she took out her phone and glanced at the gift Qin Xun had just sent her.

It was the planning proposal for Dudu Tea.

A bit strange.

Hadn't she seen this before?

Establishing brand image in first-tier cities, with the main battlefield in second, third, fourth, and fifth-tier cities.

Store design, theme song, brand image.

Next, promotion, opening for franchises, earning franchise fees.

Connecting upstream and downstream supply chains, and earning another sum of money through the supply chain.

...

Flipping through, Xia Ning finally discovered the newly added content.

[Brand Matrix]

When brand influence is strong enough, start getting involved in coffee, craft beer, high-end ice cream, beverage R&D, and even store decoration companies.

Seeing this, Xia Ning was slightly moved.

Dad always says I'm too ambitious.

Today, she finally witnessed what true ambition is.

Is this a gift Qin Xun sent me privately, thinking I would take over Dudu Tea in the future, so I could show off my skills?

Xia Ning looked up, a faint smile on her face, and whispered.

"This guy is still holding back even after taking 10 million from others!"

"Too cunning!"

At some point, Niu Xiaojun had also leaned over, tilted her head to finish reading, and shook her head.

"This person is probably a lunatic."

"He's itching to squander your family's fortune!"

"A madman, an idiot, a moron!"

Just as she was cursing vigorously.

Xia Ning's WeChat received another message from Xia Shujie.

[Ningning, I see Dudu Tea has been red-hot these past two days, so I took another look at the plan Qin Xun wrote.]

[I have to admit, he has some capability.]

[But he is still green after all, not thinking far enough ahead.]

[Let me test your business acumen again; this proposal still has room for improvement.]

[I can give you a hint: 'Brand Matrix'.]

Niu Xiaojun fell silent!

She saw that Qin Xun's ideas actually coincided with those of Xia Shujie, an old fox in the business world; she raised her hand and lightly slapped herself on the face.

She looked at Xia Ning with mockery.

"Ningning, Uncle Xia has been looking for a son-in-law all these years."

"If you don't marry Qin Xun now, I'm afraid your father won't even agree to it!"

Xia Ning hesitated for a moment, then forwarded Qin Xun's proposal to her father.

One minute later.

Her phone rang.

Xia Ning answered.

Niu Xiaojun pressed her ear against the back of Xia Ning's phone again.

Xia Ning: "..."

She was speechless and glanced at Cheng Wan.

Cheng Wan tactfully left the office and closed the door.

Only then did Xia Ning place her phone on the desk and press the speakerphone button.

"Hello?"

Xia Shujie's voice came through.

"Ningning, why did it take you so long to speak?"

Xia Ning: "The signal is bad."

Xia Shujie didn't press the issue and asked directly.

"Who completed the latter part of that proposal?"

Xia Ning glanced at Niu Xiaojun.

"A newly hired planner."

The other end of the phone was silent for a while, then said with some emotion.

"According to this planner's plan, isn't he trying to build Dudu Tea into a global large-scale catering chain giant?"

Xia Ning looked at Niu Xiaojun with a mischievous smile.

"Dad, don't you think this proposal is likely to squander our family fortune?"

"Some people say that the person who wrote this proposal must be a madman, an idiot, and a moron?"

Niu Xiaojun: "???"

Only then did Xia Shujie's voice immediately come through the phone.

"Who uses their own money to do this kind of business?"

"You can raise funds!"

"Also, the person who says that the one who wrote this proposal is a madman is the real fool."

Niu Xiaojun: "!!!"

She turned around and walked away, threw herself onto the sofa, and lay there as if life was meaningless.

Good one, little Xia Ning, actually playing the "borrowing a knife to kill" trick to vent for her lover!

Xia Ning heard her father mention "Qin Xun" and asked.

"Dad, how did you guess it was Qin Xun?"

Xia Shujie snorted coldly.

"Your Oak Company, everyone in the company combined isn't enough for Qin Xun to beat on his own; if it's not him, who could it be?"

"Do you think you can just pick up any planner from the side of the road and have them write something like this?"

Xia Ning was speechless.

Suddenly.

Xia Shujie asked again.

"Ningning, tell me the truth, what is Qin Xun's character like?"

Xia Ning thought for a while, finding it difficult to draw a conclusion.

Noble? No!

Despicable? Not really either!

Just then, she saw Niu Xiaojun lying on the sofa staring at her, curling her lips with a look of contempt.

She guessed Niu Xiaojun must think she would fawn over him and praise Qin Xun shamelessly.

Xia Ning hardened her heart and said softly.

"Qin Xun, he is... his character is despicable!"

As soon as she finished speaking.

Words of praise came from the phone.

"Good!"

"Very good!"

"Despicable character is good!"

"Capable people can make money; if his character is despicable, he can make even more!"

"This Qin Xun is a natural businessman!"

Xia Ning was stunned.

She glanced at Niu Xiaojun and found that the look of contempt on her face had deepened; she helplessly shrugged to show her innocence.

At this moment.

Xia Shujie's voice came through the phone again.

"You buy a few plane tickets for Xiaoju, let this fake president go on a world tour, and delegate the power of managing the company to Qin Xun."

"You, the true president hiding underwater, should not interfere with his decisions either."

"I want to see his ability to manage the company."

Xia Ning was shocked.

"Dad, what are you trying to do?"

She looked at Niu Xiaojun, only to see her give herself the middle finger, then turn around, facing away from her.

It seemed like she couldn't bear to watch anymore!

Xia Shujie's voice rang out with a smile.

"Is our family that easy to enter?"

"I want to see where his limit really is!"

Xia Ning's face flushed slightly.

"I... don't like him."

But she heard Xia Shujie's teasing voice on the phone.

"Don't I have a niece?"

"If you don't want him, there are plenty of people in the Xia family who do; in any case, keep the benefits within the family."

Xia Ning: "..."

Her heart felt so tired.

She really couldn't understand what kind of magnificent business blueprint her father had seen in Qin Xun's proposal.

It actually made him, who had always considered himself refined, say such shameless things.

Xia Ning hesitated for a moment.

"Okay!"

The call hung up.

Niu Xiaojun bounced off the sofa, stood on the sofa, put her hands on her hips, and looked at Xia Ning angrily.

"You, prioritizing romance over friendship!"

Xia Ning's face was awkward, and she smiled.

"Brother Niu, please help."

Niu Xiaojun frowned.

"Besides the air tickets, you have to cover food and lodging."

Xia Ning nodded.

Niu Xiaojun smiled, feeling like she had made a huge profit.

...

Half an hour later.

Cheng Wan called everyone from Oak Company to the conference room.

Niu Xiaojun stood at the front desk, looking at the unfamiliar faces below, with a faint reluctance on her face, and said.

"Partners, I'm sorry!"

"I have to announce... um... sad news to everyone."
