Chapter 296: Jian Hanshen
They had quickly sent Yu Yu to the hospital. After treatment, she was able to speak but her voice sounded hoarse. She no longer had the same lively voice as before.
They asked Yu Yu how she ended up like this but all Yu Yu said was that she had eaten something wrong.
With the way she was, how could they bear to interrogate her any further?
The two of them took Yu Yu to many other hospitals. They tried both Chinese medicine and Western medicine, as well as some folk remedies, but they were all useless.
Later on, they simply resigned themselves to their fate. With her gravelly voice, Yu Yu was shunned by others. Gradually, she stopped speaking altogether.
Fortunately, after returning to the Jiang family, Yu Yu’s voice was finally cured.
Now that she thought about it, it seems like she has not seen that necklace since then. However, An Yimin and her had only cared about Yu Yu’s voice at that time. Why would they pay attention to a necklace?
Xun Shaorong could not help but say, “Xingyi, your…”
“What’s wrong, Aunt?”
Xun Shaorong stopped mid-sentence.
She shook her head in amusement. She felt that she was being ridiculous.
The rhinestone necklace was not worth much at all, not to mention why would Jiang Xingyi turn a rhinestone into an ear stud?
He was such a big star and did not lack money. Why would he use such a cheap item?
She must be confused.
“It’s nothing.” Xun Shaorong thought to herself that it was fortunate that she had come to her senses fast enough. Otherwise, she would be so embarrassed, “What I want to say is that there’s nothing else to do here. I’ll watch over Uncle An. If you have any work to do, go ahead. There’s no need to neglect your work.”
“It’s okay. I came after I finished my work. It’s not a big deal.”
Jiang Xingyi smiled. When another call came in, he quickly turned on the silent mode and hung up the call.
He turned his phone to flight mode and said casually, “These are all agents who are trying to persuade me to buy a house. All rubbish, nothing important.”
Jiang Yu glanced at Jiang Xingyi and didn’t say anything.
If she wasn’t mistaken, the person who called just now seemed to be called… Wu Ting?
Was it really a real estate agent?
…
A man and a woman were sitting together in a quiet courtyard.
The courtyard was decorated in a Japanese style. The young girl kneeled on a futon and was making tea.
Opposite her, the man was leaning against a cushion with his eyes closed. He looked lazy.
The strong fragrance of tea wafted around them. The young girl poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of the man. “President Jian, please have some tea.”
The man opened his eyes.
His eyes were dark blue. When he looked at you, if you were not careful, you would feel as if you were being sucked into a vortex.
The man stretched his hand forward and put it on the table but he didn’t take the teacup.
“I don’t think it’s necessary for Miss Jiang to make tea.”
Jian Hanshen refused, “Miss Jiang, now that the Jian family has been pushed into the limelight, do you think this cup of tea will cover everything?”
Jiang Wan bit her lip, “President Jian, I’ve told you before that my big sister is not simple. She’s not easy to deal with.”
“Whether she’s easy to deal with or not, it was all your idea. I provided the manpower and resources all according to your plan. Now that Jian Industries is in trouble, what do you think you should do, Miss Jiang?”
Jiang Wan said, “President Jian, I’m sorry…”
Jian Hanshen’s face suddenly turned stone cold. “I didn’t come here today to hear you say you’re sorry. Get lost. Don’t ever come back here again. I’ve already repaid the favor my father owed your mother. If you use this as an excuse in the future…”
He sneered. “I will have you thrown out with a broken arm and a broken leg.”
Chapter 297: An Ordinary Female High School Student?
Jiang Wan’s heart shook.
She forced out a smile. “Thank you for your help on this matter, President Jian. Also for the other favor that President Jian helped me with… Thank you for going through all that trouble. I won’t bother you anymore. I’ll take my leave now.”
Jiang Wan stood up and left.
Jian Hanshen didn’t even look up to see her leave.
The wind blew and the faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers wafted in from the courtyard.
Jian Hanshen said, “Take this tea set and throw it away.”
A man appeared and replied, “Yes, sir.”
He threw away a tea set worth two million yuan, just like that. This young master was such a clean freak.
If it wasn’t for the old man lying in sick in bed, he would have never let that girl get close to him.
The man asked in a deep and cold voice, “Then where did Jiang Yu come from?”
The man lowered his eyes and said, “We’ve checked. Other than what we already know on the surface, we haven’t found any other connections.”
“Are you saying that she’s just the daughter of the Jiang family, the sister of that girl, Jiang Wan, and an ordinary female high school student?”
Jian Hanshen sneered, “The top four hackers in the country have all come forth as her hammers of justice. They’ve always just been watching and now they’ve made a move. Are they so stupid that they would protect an ordinary female high school student?”
Jian Hanshen emphasized the word “ordinary.”.
The man lowered his head even more.
“Continue to investigate.”
Jian Hanshen supported his head with one hand. His posture was lazy but his gaze was like a cheetah staring at its prey. It was sharp and cold. “You even managed to dig out the Jian family. You truly are quite capable.”
…
After leaving Jian Hanshen’s place, Jiang Wan returned home.
At home, Lu Hetai was already waiting for her.
As soon as Lu Hetai saw that she had returned, he asked anxiously, “Wan Wan, didn’t you ask for help from the Jian family? What did they say? Can you go back to the Jiang family now?”
“Also, I saw that the internet had been scolding that country bumpkin, Jiang Yu, but suddenly they all stopped. They suddenly said that she has nothing to do with it? It turned into a case of the Jian family stealing from themselves. Will this affect the Jian family? More importantly, will this affect you?”
Jiang Wan had learned her lesson and did not want to be dragged down by Lu Hetai anymore. She had not told him that she was the one who came up with the idea so that Lu Hetai would not give her away.
It was just that Jiang Yu had been very lucky this time and managed to saved herself from danger.
Jiang Wan told Lu Hetai that she was looking for Jian Hanshen for another reason; to return to the Jiang family. It was no wonder that Lu Hetai was so worried.
Since Jiang Wan had been banished from the Jiang family home, many people took the opportunity to cease working with Lu Hetai.
Lu Hetai was arrogant because of his connection to the Jiang family. However, the quality of his work was not good. He cut corners and demanded high prices. Many people have wanted to stop working with him for a long time now. When they caught wind of what was happening, they turned tail and left, leaving Lu Hetai in the dirt.
Lu Hetai couldn’t secure any jobs thus he wasn’t able to generate any income. He had spent his money lavishly and did not have any savings. Now that his pockets were empty, how could he bear it? He immediately came to complain to Jiang Wan.
He wanted to get some money from Jiang Wan. After all, Lu Xueping used to give him money whenever he asked.
Now that his sister was gone, it was reasonable for him to ask his niece, right?
“Uncle, don’t be anxious. If I want to go back to the Jiang family, Big Brother needs to be willing to see me.”
Lu Hetai immediately said, “I’ll go talk to Jiang Chenglang now.”
“It’s useless. You can’t force him like this.”
“How could it be useless? Otherwise, I’ll blow the matter up. After all, you…”
Jiang Wan’s face darkened. “Blowing this up… Do you want Big Brother to forget about me? Do you think Big Brother will accept it?”
Chapter 298: The Boss Behind the Feng Ling Group
Lu Hetai said embarrassedly, “But no matter what…”
“Uncle, you know Big Brother very well.”
Jiang Wan frowned and said, “There’s no need to say anymore. Uncle, you should go. I have 200,000 yuan here. I’ll give it to you. For now, don’t come looking for me. I’ve been very busy recently.”
Lu Hetai twirled his fingers and said awkwardly, “Wan Wan, 200,000 yuan is too little. I don’t know how to explain things to your aunt when I go back home. Moreover, your cousin needs money to go to school and he also needs to go for tuition classes. The amount of money is not small…”
Jiang Wan resisted the impatience in her heart.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Lu Hetai was still useful, she would gladly not be dealing with this person anymore.
This was a black hole that couldn’t be filled. She couldn’t understand how her mother could have stood this and even helped him.
Jiang Wan looked distraught. “Uncle, I’ve left the Jiang family home for quite some time already. I don’t have much money on me. I can only give you another 50,000.”
Lu Hetai said with disdain, “Only 50,000? Isn’t that too little?”
“Uncle, if you don’t like it, then just forget about it.”
“I like it, I like it. 50,000 yuan is fine,” Lu Hetai said quickly. “You know my account number. Transfer it to me now.”
Jiang Wan wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood. Lu Hetai watched as she transferred the money before leaving.
He even hinted that he wanted to see the balance in her account. Fortunately, she was using a different account. There was indeed no money in it, thus successfully driving Lu Hetai away.
Jiang Wan held her phone and gave Jiang Chenglang a call.
“Big Brother…”
She said bitterly, “I know you don’t want to see me but it’s my birthday in a few days. I don’t want to spend it alone. Can you come and celebrate my birthday with me?”
…
As the internet went crazy, Jian Industries released a statement.
They said that it was due to their own negligence that one of their employees managed to commit such an act of self-sabotage and leaked the Jiang Corporation’s project proposal to shunning.
As for losses suffered by the Jiang Corporation, Jian Industries was willing to compensate.
Moreover, they had already terminated the cooperation with Shun-Ning. At the same time, they said that if the Jiang Corporation was still willing to accept the project, they would be willing to cooperate. If the Jiang Corporation was not willing, then they would start looking for partners from the public again.
Shun-Ning Corporation fired many of its long-time employees over this incident. This caused the morale of the employees in the company to fall to an all-time low.
At the same time, they urgently issued a statement to try to distance themselves from the mess. They were not willing to bear the responsibility like a proper company.
The Feng Ling Group was the first to terminate its contracts with Shun-Ning. Once they made this move, many other companies followed soon after and announced that they would stop all work related to Shun-Ning.
Don’t joke around, this was the Feng Ling Group!
They had only been established a few years ago but they were already standing at the forefront of the country. Their annual profit was difficult to estimate. They were involved in many different industries and could be compared to the old founding companies, Feng, Jian, and Qin.
If these four families were to join forces, they could monopolize the entire country’s economic lifeline.
Among them, the Feng Ling Group had always been on a steady rise. It was as if they were riding on a rocket. They always seem to be on the verge of surpassing the other three. The other three had been suppressing them publicly and secretly. The fact that Feng Ling was still standing showed that they had a solid foundation behind it.
However, the boss behind Feng Ling has never shown his face. No one knew their name, whether they were a man or a woman, or even how old this person was. They guessed that the person was probably a balding, middle-aged uncle.
