My Scheming Little Devil

Third Young Master Jun maintained a poker face as he responded, "What if I could recover the lost materials in time?"

"That’s simply impossible. The companies you’ve collaborated with to provide raw materials simply don’t have enough to supply you in a short amount of time."

A dark light flashed in Jun Shi’s eyes. He had it all figured out - Jun Huang would not be able to gather the materials needed in such a short span of time, giving him the confidence to plan all this without fear.

The goal was to leave no room for this brat to turn things around, to eliminate the possibility of him finding a way out.

"It seems that my father thinks very little of his son’s capabilities. But I would like to request, Grandfather, for five days’ time - that’s all I need to ensure all the materials necessary for the project are in place."

Third Young Master Jun turned to Jun Guanru with a solemn expression, making his request.

Jun Guanru furrowed his brows, contemplating. The risk Jun Huang was taking, his big talk - if he couldn’t live up to his words, his reputation would take a severe blow.

"Your words are rather bold. Why are you so sure that you can accomplish this in five days? It’s something that no one can do, not even me." Jun Shi sneered.

Even with his extensive connections in the business world, he couldn’t gather the necessary materials in such a short period of time.

This kid was ridiculously arrogant.

"Just because you can’t do it does not mean that my father and I would fail as well."

Third Young Master Jun’s eyes were filled with provocation and cold determination.

"Seems like you are not aware that not all raw materials are stored in the warehouse. Due to the heavy fog affecting transportation in previous days, half of the materials will only arrive tomorrow."

Jun Shi’s complexion changed. He had not taken this situation into account at all.

He had seen the photocopy of the contract that Bai Sijia had stolen. The contracts specified the delivery dates, so he assumed that all materials would certainly be stored in the warehouse.

This was an unexpected slip-up.

"Hmm, even if that’s the case, I want to see how you can gather the remaining half on your own. After five days, if you can’t deliver, you’ll have to be accountable for your outrageous claims." Jun Shi was indifferent. He didn’t believe it, even if it was just half the needed materials, it was still quite a stretch. He left coldly after hurling a few warnings.

The gathered guests were shocked. Could Third Young Master Jun really possess such comprehensive capabilities to make this happen? Or was he just being arrogant and ignorant?

They eagerly looked forward to the result. If he could indeed pull this off, it would show his superior capabilities, even beyond those of Jun Shi. It would yield him a great reputation and make him the hero to resurrect the whole large-scale project.

After the banquet, Third Young Master Jun immediately departed with Feiyu, without looking back.

Bai Sijia wanted to catch up with him but didn’t have the courage, so she could only stand still.

She was feeling jittery, as she had a feeling Third Young Master Jun must know something. But if he really knew about her betrayal, why hadn’t he taken any action against her? Instead, he was still marrying her.

He must not know about it, right?

Yes, it must be so.

...

"Thank goodness, Third Young Master, you had me intercept that batch of materials earlier. Otherwise, there would be no way to turn this around. That was close."

Feiyu was sweating profusely, relieved.

"I didn’t expect Jun Shi to be so ruthless. To strip you of all your power in the Jun Family and kick you out, he’s throwing aside even the interests of the Group. But Third Young Master, you really have foresight. Without it, we would have been at a considerable disadvantage this time."

"As soon as he got his hands on that delivery contract, I guessed the possible schemes he could execute with it. Unfortunately, I didn’t anticipate that he would tamper with the warehouse."

Third Young Master Jun silently lit a cigarette, placing it on the table, letting it burn on its own.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t considered this possibility.
