Chapter 56: Chapter 56 Grandiose Delusions Disorder
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Looking at Wang Dequan kneeling on the ground, Chen Yu said with dissatisfaction, “There’s no master here.”
After saying so, Chen Yu signaled Zhang Jianshe to help Wang Dequan up. Unexpectedly, Wang Dequan pushed Zhang Jianshe away and said respectfully, “Master, you are right.”
“I was able to make a fortune because of the help of the bronze statue.”
“It has nothing to do with my hard work.”
“I didn’t even tell my own family about these things.”
“To be able to uncover my history clearly; if you’re not a master, who is?”
Most successful businessmen were of suspicious nature.
Wang Dequan was no exception.
However, the fact that such a young man could see through the secret hidden deep within his heart was proof enough of Chen Yu’s abilities.
Also, Wang Dequan’s business decline was already on the verge of collapse.
On the surface, everything seemed fine, but there was a crisis on all fronts.
Once it collapsed, his entire business would be destroyed in an instant. Kneeling expressed his admiration for Chen Yu, but it was also an act.
He pretended to be pitiful and begged Chen Yu to intervene immediately to save him from his predicament.
“Dear patient, 1 understand your pain from being troubled by your illness.
However, if you don’t get up soon, 1 can only order you to leave.”
Chen Yu had a firm expression as he repeated his words.
There were no masters here, as this was a psychological consultation room.
Chen Yu was a psychologist, and everything he said was scientifically analyzed. There were no mystic arts here.

Wang Dequan looked at Chen Yu with a puzzled expression.
Why was Chen Yu still pretending at this time?
Could a psychologist predict the future past?
How else could he know about the existence of the bronze statue?
On the contrary, Zhang Jianshe more or less understood Chen Yu’s intentions. He remembered what his father had said—that Chen Yu was an otherworldly expert.
For some reason, he couldn’t reveal his true identity, so he disguised himself as a psychologist to blend in with the crowd.
Zhang Jianshe immediately leaned over and whispered a few words into Wang Dequan’s ear.
Wang Dequan was surprised at first, but then he nodded repeatedly. Immediately after, Wang Dequan stood up from the ground.
“I’m sorry, Dr. Chen. I was too excited just now and thought you were a charlatan.”
“As long as you’re not angry with me, 1’11 do anything.”
“Alright, please take a seat.”
Chen Yu made an inviting gesture.
Wang Dequan had completely changed his attitude, and he sat on his chair obediently.
His expression was as honest as a student listening to an esteemed professor’s lecture.
Chen Yu poured himself a glass of water to moisten his throat before speaking up.
“Three years ago, many of your domestic clients were poached by someone else.”
“However, these lost customers weren’t a big deal for you. It’s not to the extent that it hurts the core of your business.”
“But this year, your overseas clients all wanted to terminate their contracts with you, yeah?”
“That’s right!”
Wang Dequan subconsciously wanted to stand up but was stopped by Chen Yu.
“Sit down and talk. It’s not good for your condition to be alarmed.”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Wang Dequan replied respectfully.
“Since the beginning of the year, the medicinal herbs I supply to my foreign customers have encountered problems of varying degrees.”
Wang Dequan opened his mouth and spoke of his greatest crisis.
With the help of the bronze statue, Wang Dequan’s traditional medicine business was doing exceptionally well.
With the expansion of his business, Wang Dequan’s ambition also gradually grew.
He wanted more than just to develop his business domestically and gradually set his sights on foreign countries.
With incomparable luck, Wang Dequequan won the right to sell his traditional medicine in five neighboring countries within a year.
He thought that his good luck would last forever and never expected the situation to collapse so quickly.
Just as Chen Yu said,
Starting three years ago, his customers gradually began to leave.
The quality of medicinal herbs sent overseas was discovered to be problematic in January of this year.
Customs destroyed several batches of goods, and Wang Dequan, who had suffered a significant loss, immediately organized his men to replenish the stock.
He personally supervised the quality of the herbs collected, but it was still determined by the customs that he was smuggling inferior medicinal herbs overseas.
This happened a few consecutive times, and the fines paid to customs alone were worth more than a billion yuan.
This excluded the compensation he paid to his customers for not being able to deliver the goods on time.
“I, Wang Dequan, dare swear to the heavens that apart from the first batch of medicinal herbs at the beginning of the year, 1 personally inspected the subsequent batches sent out.”
The more Wang Dequan spoke, the more depressed he became.
It could be attributed to negligence if this situation happened once or twice.
But it was impossible for this to happen every time.
On account of their many years of cooperation, his foreign clients did not make the matter public for the time being.
However, he could not hide it for long.
If he is unable to restore supply quality, Wang Dequan will not only lose his foreign market, but this scandal will also be exposed to the public.
“So strange.”
“Mr. Wang, could it be that someone might be trying to sabotage you?” Zhang Jianshe interjected.
“How could I not have thought about it?”
Wang Dequan replied with a sad face.
“In order to find out if someone was behind this, I secretly sent my confidant, the Deputy Director of the Quality Control Department, to investigate.”
“The investigation results are all normal.”
“The quality of the medicinal herbs is good, but everything changes once it goes overseas.”
“He suspects a foreign client is behind this, but I don’t think so.”
All of his clients were of great wealth and power in their respective countries.
There was no need to take advantage of him, especially with petty tricks.
Even if they really wanted to sabotage his shipments, it was impossible to bribe the customs of all the countries he shipped to.
“That’s true.”
The problem with the goods was found by the customs, not the customer himself.
Thus, this was the reason he came to Chen Yu.
“Dr. Chen, this is my situation.”
“Big businesses like mine usually need to be more careful than smaller businesses.”
“Once our reputation is smashed, it’s not a joke.”
The greater the company’s size, the greater the fear of public opinion.
A negative image wouldn’t only damage the brand’s reputation; it would also affect the company’s stock price.
Once their company’s stock price was shaken, their market value would plummet in the blink of an eye.
A company worth tens of billions would be doomed.
Chen Yu switched his hands’ position on his lap and replied calmly, “I already understand your situation.”
“You suffer from a very serious case of Grandiose Delusions Disorder.” “Grandiose Delusions Disorder?”
Wang Dequan was stunned.
His business was damaged, and his luck was down.
What did this have to do with delusions?
“Dr. Chen, I’m not delusional.”
Wang Dequan had been frustrated recently, and his mood had been low.
However, this had nothing to do with him getting delusional.
“Yes, you are.”
Chen Yu wore a profound smile on his face.
“Your personality was once pure and kind. You care for your siblings and treat your wife well.”
“All of a sudden, your temper took a sharp turn.”
“Your behavior toward your relatives became temperamental. You also became intolerant of any objections from your subordinates at work.”
“If your subordinate tries giving their advice, it always ends with you getting furious.”
“You know that expanding internationally is risky.”
“However, an inexplicable self-confidence prompted you to expand to the overseas market.”
“These emotional changes all happened after obtaining the bronze statue..”
