Chapter 272: Second Brother’s Official Debut
She tilted her head. “Like what you saw?”
The man adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. “It’s alright.”
Jiang Yu stretched out her hand. “Then pay me the ticket fees.”
The man shrugged. “I don’t have any money.”
“You don’t look like you don’t have any money.”
“Sorry, I meant that I don’t have any money to give you.”
The man looked at Jiang Yu’s face and wanted to see her reaction.
Jiang Yu gave up quickly. “Forget it then.”
She held An Yimin and said, “Let’s go home.”
An Yimin was still worried. “Yu Yu, are you alright?”
“Don’t worry, it’s nothing.”
…
The two of them left and the people around them gradually left as well.
The cell phone in the pocket of his windbreaker vibrated. The man took out the cell phone. He swiped his fingers across the screen and answered the call.
“Um.”
“Hello, Mr. Alex! May I know where you are? Did something happen? Do you need us to send someone to pick you up?”
“No need.”
Jiang Jingnian refused, “I’ll be there soon.”
After hanging up the phone, another call came in immediately.
David asked from the other end, “Alex, I heard that you stood up the other party’s research institute? They called me to ask where you are!”
Jiang Jingnian replied, “I just finish watching a show and got delayed. I’ll head there now.”
“You still have the mood to watch a show?” David said in surprise, “You’re usually such a picky person, how good was this show?”
Jiang Jingnian raised his lips. “It was very interesting.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk.” David clicked his tongue. “Which poor girl are you targeting now? Please control yourself, okay? I don’t want to hear the sound of another girl’s heart breaking when you come back!”
“I can’t promise you that.” Jiang Jingnian stopped the taxi and got into the car. “Okay, talk to you later. I’m still a little jet-lagged and a little sleepy. I want to take a nap in the car.”
“Then you rest first.”
David hung up the phone. Jiang Jingnian was about to close his eyes when he glanced out of the car window and saw Jiang Yu’s hand holding the car door and letting An Yimin get into the car first.
Jiang Yu seemed to sense something and looked over at his taxi.
What a vigilant little sister.
Jiang Jingnian smiled but it didn’t reach his eyes.
The taxi left and drove in the opposite direction Jiang Yu’s car was headed.
Jiang Jingnian closed his eyes.
He didn’t expect to run into his little sister who had been lost for many years the moment he returned. He even found out that something had happened to the Jiang Corporation.
But…
So what if it was the Jiang Corporation?
So what if it was Jiang Yu?
What did any of that have to do with him?
…
That afternoon, a video began to spread through the internet like wildfire.
In the video, the first person seen was a man shouting at a young girl, “You traitor! You betrayed the Jiang Corporation and gave our project information to our competitors! Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?!”
Then, he shouted at the middle-aged man next to the young girl, “So, did you get a promotion and a raise?! You stepped on our hard work to get to the top. Do you feel at ease taking that kind of money?”
At the end of the video, the young girl stomped hard on the man’s face.
The popularity of the video kept rising.
[This girl is so arrogant. Where did she come from?]
[Didn’t you hear the man mention the Jiang family? It must mean that the girl is related to the Jiangs!]
[If I remember correctly, Jiang Corp. usually recruits university students who are in their third year. This girl… A uni student? She sure doesn’t look like it. She looks so young.]
Chapter 273: Internet Storm
[Let me help clear this up for everyone. Recently, the Jiang Corporation competed against Shun-Ning for the Oasis Project and had lost. Someone exposed that Shun-Ning had plagiarized the Jiang Corporation’s idea, which was why they were able to win this competition.
Jiang Corp. has been looking for a mole for some time now. Looking at the video, if what this man said is true, it was this girl who had stolen the Jiang Corporation’s secrets.
Through the process of elimination, if this girl isn’t a family member of one of the project members, she most definitely is the child of a high-ranking executive. Other netizens have already pointed out that the Jiang Corporation does not recruit interns below the third-year level. Speaking of recruiting interns, they wouldn’t let these interns come into contact with such an important project.
I will just leave my assumptions here for the time being. If I got anything wrong, please correct me.]
This comment was quickly pushed to the top of the comments section. Following that, there were many replies in the comments section.
[Thank you for helping me summarize the situation. I’ll be waiting for what happens next.]
[So, no one has looked into her background yet? Who is this girl? What background does she have? Is she really the child of an executive of the Jiang Corporation? This has to be a joke, right? Why did she sell out her parents?]
[Did anyone else notice the middle-aged man in the video? Could he be an executive of Jiang Corp.?]
[If that’s the case and the employee scolded the executive outside on a public street, that’s a little brave of him… ]
[That’s not right. If he was an executive of Jiang Corp., would they get a promotion and a raise by selling out his company? Definitely not! So, could he be from Shun-Ning instead?]
[I must be dreaming… The daughter of a high-ranking executive of the Jiang Corporation sold information to someone from a rival company, and to a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance… What is this little girl after?]
[Young lady, would you spare me a look? Here’s a middle-aged bald uncle who needs a favor as well. I would like to have a meal of soft rice with you. I’ll be good to you. I promise you’ll be satisfied.]
…
Jiang Yu sent An Yimin back to the An family home and had a meal with An Yimin and Xun Shaorong.
She wanted to talk to An Yimin about finding a new job but An Yimin did not tell Xun Shaorong about his dismissal all throughout dinner. He did not even have the intention to open his mouth.
Jiang Yu did not say anything either.
The new company was still being prepared after all. They still need to choose a location to register. It would be good to wait for him to calm down before inviting him.
After Jiang Yu left, Xun Shaorong’s expression relaxed.
She asked worriedly, “Did something happen when you went to the company? Why were both of you so unhappy when you got back?”
Even though An Yimin did not reveal any negative emotions ever since entering the house and always had a smile on his face, Xun Shaorong and he had been married for decades and was too familiar with his ways. Whether he was in a good mood or not, she could tell at a glance.
She did not say anything before this because Jiang Yu was there. Now that Jiang Yu had left, Xun Shaorong immediately asked about it.
An Yimin evasively said, “It’s nothing. You’re thinking too much. Nothing happened.”
“Don’t keep it from me anymore. Others can’t but I know you too well. What happened that you don’t even want to tell me?”
An Yimin sighed. “Fine, I’ll tell you. I was fired.”
“What?! Why were you fired?” Xun Shaorong was confused. “You worked so hard for the company. Can’t they see that?”
“Maybe it’s because I’m old now,” An Yimin said as he hung his head. “Let’s not talk about me. On the way back, I encountered another matter…”
Before he could finish, his cell phone suddenly rang!
Chapter 274: I’ll Definitely Be On Your Side!
Jiang Yu had arrived back at the Jiang family home but Jiang Chenglang was not home yet.
Her phone had been out of battery. After plugging in her charger and turning it on, she realized that there were a lot of missed calls.
Jiang Yu took a look. She had 16 missed calls in total. Seven were from Jiang Zeyu, five were from the communications team, three were from Old Master Guan, and one was from Jiang Chenglang.
Jiang Yu was about to respond to the numerous missed calls, but before she could press the call button, a call came in. Jiang Yu picked up the call.
It was Feng Linbai.
From the other end of the phone, Feng Linbai’s magnetic and pleasant voice sounded, “Yu’er, are you home?”
“Yes, I just arrived.”
“Old Master Guan suddenly had an urgent matter and left. He didn’t have the time to tell you and he couldn’t contact you. He told me and asked me to pass on the message on his behalf.”
“Got it. I saw the message he had left for me.”
“He said that he would contact you when he was free and told you not to forget him. There, I’ve passed on the message.”
“Got it. Is there anything else?”
Feng Linbai paused for a moment before saying, “No, have a good rest and sweet dreams.”
Jiang Yu did not think much of it and hung up the phone. Jiang Zeyu’s call came in next.
As soon as the call connected, the voice blasted into her eardrum, forcing Jiang Yu to put the phone away from her ear.
“Little Sister! Little Sister! Are you alright? Are you okay? I’ll tell you, don’t mind them! It’s not good to get angry! Whatever it is, I’ll definitely be on your side!”
Jiang Yu frowned. “Mind what?”
“Don’t mind what they say on the internet! Those people are just spouting nonsense out of their mouths and have nothing better to do. That’s why they have to talk sh*it on the internet all day. Don’t lower yourself to their level!”
“On the internet?”
“Yeah, those on the internet…”
Jiang Zeyu only reacted halfway through his sentence. “Little Sister, you don’t know?”
Jiang Yu didn’t answer him.
Her silence implied that she didn’t know at all.
Jiang Zeyu realized that he had said the wrong thing. He quivered and wished that he could slap himself in the face.
I should have kept my mouth shut!
Originally, his little sister didn’t know anything and had been carefree. Now, if she reads all those negative comments online, wouldn’t it affect her mood?
Jiang Zeyu said embarrassedly, “Little Sister, I didn’t say anything. You didn’t hear anything. I was thinking of someone else and dialed the wrong number. It has nothing to do with you.”
Jiang Yu said, “Does that mean that you call someone else ‘little sister’?”
Jiang Zeyu said, “Of course not!”
Jiang Yu said, “Then why did you say ‘little sister’ when you thought you had called someone else?”
Jiang Zeyu: “…”
How could his little sister be so smart…
“Alright, I understand.” Jiang Yu’s tone did not change. “Thank you for your concern, Fourth Brother. Don’t worry, I’ll go online now and see what’s going on.”
Jiang Zeyu: “…”
He weakly added, “Little Sister, nothing much is happening, really… You should rest and get some sleep…”
These words immediately made Jiang Yu realize that Feng Linbai knew about it too.
“I’m hanging up.”
Jiang Yu mercilessly ended the call and logged onto the internet.
Halfway through her search, the communication team called. Jiang Yu rejected the call and went upstairs to her room. She switched to her computer and found the edited video and the comments online.
