It wasnât that Song Yan didnât trust her daughter but if she took charge of the company, she would need help from others to do her job well.
âI liked that young man and encouraged you to date him seriously before. But you insisted on being with some handsome foreign guy. Have you guys reconciled now?â
Jiang Minghua shook her head and told her mother, âMom, men are all cheap!â âWu Rui is still hung up on me. Iâm not going to let him get his way so easily. Iâll tell him that Iâll get back together with him only after I take over Jiang Corporation.â
âIs that appropriate?â
However, Jiang Minghua was very confident. âThereâs nothing inappropriate about it. Iâve known Wu Rui for years, so I know him very well.â
âWith his help and support from the butler, and Second Brother, I can definitely manage Jiang Corporation.â
Seeing Song Yanâs hesitation, Jiang Minghua added, âMom, Jiang Jingchen is Still part of the Jiang family. What if something happens to Dad and Jiang Jingchen fights us for the family assets?â
âIf I have management rights to Jiang Corporation, it will be that much harder for Jiang Jingchen to fight us.â
Song Yan looked at the butler expectantly and asked, âDo you think Minghua can cut it?â
The butler had worked for Jiang Xing for years and understood how Jiang Corporation worked.
Moreover, if it werenât for the butlerâs help, Song Yan wouldnât have gotten together with Jiang Xing.
âThird Young Miss is smart and quick-witted. We should give her a chance.â
Jiang Xingâs hadnât written his will yet. If he suddenly died and Jiang Jingchen shameless made claims on his estate, he would get some of it.
Moreover, he had a major shareholder agreement with him, which was a huge threat to them.
The three of them discussed and decided that Jiang Minghua would see Jiang Xmg when he woke up from his nap and asked to become his understudy at Jiang Corporation so she could learn how to manage the company. After all, hands-on experience was more important than knowledge.
Jiang Xmg doted on his daughter very much and did not reject her request. However, he said, âStudy well under me so that you can help your brother when he graduates and joins the company.â
Although Jiang Xing doted on his daughter, he still preferred to hand over the family business to his son.
Jiang Minghua was unhappy, but she still nodded with a smile.
Alright, I will study hard and help my brother manage the family business!â
At Jiang Jingchenâs villaâ¦
When Jiang Jingchen arrived home with Tang Beibei after picking her up from school, Uncle Zhang, who had been sitting in the living room, immediately stood up and bowed 90 degrees apologetically.
Tang Beibei was shocked. She retreated and looked at Uncle Zhang in surprise. âWhat are you doing?â
Uncle Zhang sighed. âAll of us knew that the video Xiaoheâs mother made would upset you but someone threatened us with Xiaoheâs life.â
âWe had no choice but to cooperate. But I vowed to tell you if I see you and apologize to you together with Xiaoheâs mother when sheâs back.â
âWhereâs Mrs. Zhang?â
Uncle Zhangâs expression was a little sad as he said, âThe man who wanted to harm you went to Xiaoheâs house and threatened Xiaoheâs mother with his life Xiaoheâs family consists only of the mother and son, so they had no choice but to cooperate.â
âAfter Xiaoheâs mother posted the video, they called me over, saying that they were taking us on a trip.â
âThey told us that it was a trip, but it was actually a ruse to take us somewhere to lock us up.â
â I pretended to cooperate and found an excuse to run away when I went looking for a toilet. I wanted to tell you that someone is trying to harm you. If we find that man, well find the mastermind.â
Jiang Jingchen asked, âDo you remember where that man took Xiaohe?â
âI escaped enroute so Iâm afraid I donât know his whereabouts.â
Uncle Zhang continued with trepidation, âThey wonât harm my family and
Xiaohe in broad daylight, right?â
Jiang Jingchen couldnât answer his question because he had no idea where those people had gone and who they were.
But Tang Beibei said thoughtfully, âI donât think so.â
Everyone looked at her. Tang Beibei explained, âThose people just wanted to ruin my reputation and put me in a very awkward situation. They could only do that online but once Iâm off the internet, the matter has nothing to do with me.â
âIf those people set out to kill someone, they would have killed me.â
Iâm usually at school. Itâs a public place but if they really wanted to kill me, there are still plenty of ways to do it. But since Iâm fine, I can infer that the â enemyâs goal isnât to rob and kill.â
Although what Tang Beibei said made sense, Uncle Zhang was still very anxious.
âHow are we going to save them?â
The situation was dangerous as long as the enemy had his family.
Tang Beibei asked Jiang Jingchen with a frown, âWhy donât we help Uncle Zhang call the police?â
Jiang Jingchen replied, âThe police? We must call the police, but Uncle Zhang must do it himself. We canât help.â
âThe enemy has already used you to harm my wife because you know her. We are going to keep our distance this time. It will be good for you and my wife.â Uncle Zhang felt guilty when he heard Jiang Jingchen hint at the birdâs nest incident. He shouldnât have been nice then and helped that evil man.
Okay, okay, Iâll call the police myself.â
Jiang Jingchen said, âYou go to the police. Iâll send someone to watch over you n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
in secret to make sure that you are safe.â
âThank you, Mr. Jiang. Beibei, you saved Xiaohe, but we brought you so much trouble. Iâm really sorry.â
Uncle Zhangâs face was filled with guilt. They had spoken for so long, but he
was still standing uneasily with his back bent.
Tang Beibei chuckled. âWhat doesnât kill me makes me stronger. Iâm taking this in stride.â
âUncle Zhang, donât think too much. Itâs more important that we find Xiaohe and the rest.â
âYes, yes, you are such a kind girl. Mr. Jiang, youâve married a good wife!â
Uncle Zhang praised Tang Beibei sincerely and gave her a thumbs up.
Tang Beibei was embarrassed by his words. She walked him to the door. After he left, she turned to Jiang Jingchen and said, âIâm quite worried about Xiaohe and the rest. I pray that theyâre okay.â
Jiang Jingchen rubbed her little head and contacted Ji Yi.
The next day, Jiang Jingchen went to the office and found out that Jiang Xing was sick and had brought Jiang Minghua to work with him.
Jiang Jingchen sat unperturbed at his desk and answered calls when he felt like it. Of course, all the customers who were served by him had won the lottery.
Because if they had a problem, he wouldnât be able to help them resolve it. But he was quite good at arguing with customers.
Someone called to complain after Jiang Jingchen hung up the third call that ended in an argument. Mr. Li came over and begged him not to answer calls but to play games instead.
Jiang Jingchen waved his hand. âHow can I just play games? I took this job, so I have to do something. If I donât do my job well, just train me.â
Mr. Liâs head hurt. It wasnât just a matter of training. Jiang Jingchen had been here for months, but he still knew nothing about the business or know what he was talking about. Even when his colleagues reminded him, he didnât understand.
âI know that Young Master wants to do your job well, but we arenât too busy now, so you donât have to worry. Young Master, youâre already very dedicated by showing up at work every day. Games are quite fun. Do you need me to top up your game coins, or buy you some equipment?â
Jiang Jingchenâs colleagues were all staring at him with envy and hatred.
Jiang Jingchen had no choice but to play games.
Wu Rui looked at him and laughed. He then went to get two cups of water and brought one to Jiang Jingchen.
âFirst Young Master, do you really know nothing about Jiang Corporationâs business?â
Jiang Jingchen said bitterly, âIs it my fault that I donât know anything? No one trained me.â
They were all begging him not to work. Who would dare to give him any advice about work?
Wu Rui pushed his glasses up his nose and said with a glint in his eyes, âYoung Master Jiang, I really donât know if itâs because your acting skills are too good, or if youâre unwilling to learn..â
