Chapter 370 - "Stay away from Jiang Dexian! He's not a good person!" (1)
Li ShiZe had done so much, all for the purpose of getting revenge on Jiang YaGe, the woman who had ruined his life both during this life and his last.
Ruining her reputation alone wasn't going to be enough. He wanted to crush her from the inside out and experience true devastation.
The best way to accomplish this was to reveal the truth to her when she was the happiest and plunged her straight from cloud nine to the abyss. He was also the one behind all the gossip online. He had kept Boss Gu's identity a secret and focused mainly on Jiang YaGe.
Watching as Jiang YaGe passed out from being too emotional, he did not feel bad for her one bit. He felt satisfied. This was probably the happiest day of his life in the past two years.
He had finally avenged himself and his family in his previous life.
He had learned that Jiang YaGe was starting to lose her mind in the next couple of days. Her mind was unclear and she would mumble about being "wife of the CEO" and "the People's goddess" etc.
Li ShiZe thought about it some and gave Wang SiXian a call. He didn't really want to have anything to do with that evil woman if he could help it. He couldn't tell whether Jiang YaGe had really lost her mind or that she was just faking it. He certainly wasn't going to take care of her but she still has an aunt, right?
Wang SiXian's phone number remained unchanged from two years ago, as such, Li ShiZe was able to get hold of her quickly and the two of them met up.
Wang SiXian did her best to dress up but her clothes that were starting to fade out from being washed still exposed her true financial status. One could tell that she had a hard life from her looks and the cheap foundation wasn't able to cover up the thin lines on her face. She could almost pass for 50 years old.
Li ShiZe now realized that both Jiang YaGe and Wang SiXian were of the same type. They were both Chinese dodders that grow on men. Without being supported by men, they would wilt quickly.
"What is it that you want to talk about?" asked Wang SiXian. Her life had been rough and, at her age, she couldn't even be someone's mistress even if she had wanted to. Those who were interested in her were all low-quality men. She had no house or money so she could only be a server. Her days were not easy. She had some hopes in her when she met up with Li ShiZe today.
Li ShiZe said to her, "Jiang YaGe had gone mad. As her only relative, don't you think you should take care of her?" Jiang YaGe had an aunt and uncle on top of Wang SiXian but she had lost contact with that side of the family and Li ShiZe wasn't able to get in touch with them.
His simple words made Wang SiXian's face drop. Her look was cold. "What does that have to do with me? She no longer considers me family, no?"
"Has she not done enough to me?"
She had reached out to Jiang YaGe during her worse time and hoped for some help. Jiang YaGe, worried that Li ShiZe would be displeased, simply added her to her ban list. She didn't care that Wang SiXian had once blocked a disaster for her. Had Fang JunRong not come up with the White Jade Cream later on, her face would never have recovered.
She felt very complicated when she thought about that.
She had no more feelings toward this niece of hers. Li ShiZe would be dreaming if he thought he could pawn Jiang YaGe off on her! She read about Jiang YaGe online the last few days and knew that she was someone's mistress. Reason would stand that she had already broken up with Li ShiZe.
She stood up and planned to leave. She never should have agreed to this meeting. She would have been better off getting a few more hours of sleep at home. She still had to work the night shift tonight.
Chapter 371 - "Stay away from Jiang Dexian! He's not a good person!" (2)
Li ShiZe was calm. "Jiang YaGe had been the mistress of a very rich man a while back. He had given her a house and tens of thousands of yuan when they broke up."
What he was saying was obvious. Those would be hers if she went and took care of Jiang YaGe.
Wang SiXian paused for a little and when she turned her head again, she had a completely different look on her. "You are right. She only has me now. She had been awful to me but, for the sake of my dead sister, I should still take care of her."
Her heart raced. Even if it was just a small house, with City S's current house price, that would still be over a million yuan. She would have a place to stay for the rest of her life. Not to mention that the money would provide her a better life than her current one. It was only natural for her to spend Jiang YaGe money if she was taking care of her, right?
With that in mind, she urged Li ShiZe to take her to see Jiang YaGe at the hospital right away.
Li ShiZe took off after he had handed Jiang YaGe over to Wang SiXian.
It would be very funny should Jiang YaGe recovered one day and learned that all of her possessions had become Wang SiXian's. The two of them could duke it out then.
When all was done, he felt that the hole in his heart had been filled partially. He even had a slight hope that perhaps his mother would forgive him over this?
He finally had some confidence to look for her again.
Li ShiZe's pace hastened when that thought crossed his mind.
***
Fang JunRong was home looking at the invitations that she had received recently. It had only been a few years and she had developed Meifang Corporation from a regular enterprise to the tycoon in the cosmetics field. That was, needless to say, a miracle in the eyes of many. Being in the high place, however, would attract many others.
Fang JunRong would receive many invitations on a regular basis. Curling up on the couch, the invitations were separated into three stacks on the table in front of her. One stack being those that she for sure would not attend, one stack she was still mulling over and the last stack was those that she would be attending.
She couldn't possibly spend all of her time on something so minor.
Suddenly she received a call from security, letting her know that Jiang DeXian was there.
Fang JunRong raised her brows and let Jiang DeXian in. Jiang DeXian was no longer her assistant. His company was growing and a few of their applications were very well received. The game that they had developed a few months ago was extremely popular among young people and had been downloaded over 100 million times. Even after his rebirth, Jiang DeXian still could not let his guard down. He needed to watch out for attacks coming at him both from where he could see and where he couldn't. Success always requires hard work.
Her lips curved upward when she saw Jiang DeXian. "What's the matter?"
Jiang DeXian sat down casually on the couch next to her. It was obvious that he had been here often. "My company's IPO time has been set. It is going to be April 28."
Fang JunRong made it seem like she was listening to him. "There will be a news conference then, right? You will then have to show your face as the boss behind the scene."
Over the past year, only Jiang DeXian's right-hand man had shown his face for Qixing, Jiang DeXian's company. There were even rumors that the boss of Qixing was so ugly that he did not dare to show his face. Of course, most of that was made up by their competitors maliciously. Qixing was growing too fast and was an up-and-coming unicorn. It had taken a big portion of the market shares and was the envy of many.
Nevertheless, with each antagonism, it only made them more known and trusted by the public.
With their current size, going IPO was inevitable.
Chapter 372 - "Stay away from Jiang Dexian! He's not a good person!" (3)
"Yes, I will be attending then," said Jiang DeXian. He didn't mind being looked at as Fang JunRong's boytoy. That was like a label and he quite liked it. What bothered him was that many felt that he wasn't good enough for Fang JunRong and would continue to send pretty men her way.
Nevermind that Fang JunRong would always turn around and hand the pretty men over to her adopted daughter's company and a few of the groups also ended up famous.
He paused for a little and asked, "Do you have time that day?"
Fang JunRong couldn't help but chuckled, "I am not part of your company."
Jiang DeXian said calmly, "You are a major shareholder."
Fang JunRong, who had been flipping through Weibo, looked up at him in surprise, "I only own a small portion, no?"
She had invested a little bit symbolically when Jiang DeXian started his own company. Jiang DeXian had provided her with an Equity Transfer Agreement later on.
Speechless, Jiang DeXian placed his hand over his forehead. "You probably never really looked over the Equity Transfer Agreement that I had given to you, have you?"
Fang JunRong kept that inside her drawer the entire time so she was able to retrieve it quickly.
It was said that she owned 28% of the company. With Qi Xing's current state, they were talking about at least 10 billion yuan.
Never mind that anyone in the know would be able to tell that with the current rate that Qi Xing was going at, that could easly double in a couple of years.
"Why so much? The amount that I paid would not have bought me this much. You didn't have to give me so much."
Jiang DeXian said, "The 50 million that you gave me made up most of my start-up capital."
He was talking about the huge sum of money that they got from Zhang ZhiYang. Fang JunRong had given them all to Jiang DeXian.
"So I counted that as well."
Fang JunRong said, "That was a bonus to you. How you used the money was entirely up to you."
Fifty million turning into 10 billion was probably the best investment ever.
"I will have 40% of shares remaining after what I will offer up during the IPO. I hope that you will be my Sword of Damocles and stop me when I digress."
Fang JunRong's shares plus that of the other shareholders would out vote him.
Fang JunRong sighed and said, "Alright. I can do that."
As she had accepted his shares, then she very well should attend the news conference as a major shareholder.
Once they had reached an agreement, Jiang DeXian invited her out to dinner. He mentioned a newly-opened family cuisine restaurant and that she would like it.
Fang JunRong accepted his invitation right away and went back upstairs to change.
When she walked out of her place and, before she got into the car, she saw a familiar silhouette approaching her.
The smile on her faded away. As much as his looks and temperament had changed, that was Li ShiZe. He had disappeared for two years and was now reappearing in front of her.
Li ShiZe, on the other hand, was both nervous and emotional when he saw Fang JunRong.
It took him quite some work to find out where she lived right now and he had been waiting outside since. He had been waiting for a while before he finally saw her.
There was a lot that he wanted to tell her. He wanted to tell her that he had avenged her; that Jiang YaGe had paid her price; that he knew that his ways were wrong and that he would treasure those that were close to him this time.
After his emotions subsided some, he noticed the outstanding man standing next to his mother. He was handsome with an outstanding aura. His presence was too strong to be ignored.
When he saw his looks clearly, Li ShiZe was frantic. Jiang DeXian! His archnemesis from his previous life!
What was he doing here?
An idea occurred to him: Was Jiang DeXian gunning for his mother? Judging by how Jiang DeXian had treated him in his previous life as though he bore a deep grudge with them, it was entirely possible that he had made his mother his target when he failed to locate them!
"Mom, stay away from Jiang DeXian! He's not a good person! He came for revenge!" said Li ShiZe quickly!
