"You can go find Chen Kun later and tell him he doesn't need to worry about Tian Sheng Group for now. I'm giving him a month's vacation. He can return to work after he's sorted everything out!" Li Ping said to Dong Rui.
"Okay!"
Dong Rui nodded.
"There's a lot of work at the company. Without Chen Kun, can you manage? Perhaps it's best not to. Chen Kun has always been loyal to me, and besides, he was completely unaware of this matter. It's not his fault!" Jiang Yi pleaded.
"Don't get involved in the company's affairs. I know what I'm doing!"
Li Ping replied, "While our tasks have become much heavier without Chen Kun, it's fine. I've hired quite a few talented individuals recently. With their help, I can handle the company's business!"
Jiang Yi took a deep breath.
He trusted his mother's capabilities, but he felt a pang of sympathy for Chen Kun, who was being implicated without cause.
Chen Kun had been with him the longest.
He had followed Jiang Yi since their days in Jiang City.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Yi returned to his room to rest.
The night passed uneventfully!
The next morning, when Jiang Yi woke up, Li Ping and Dong Rui had already left for the company.
Chen Kun, however, was sitting on the living room sofa, looking helpless, talking to Shen Lu.
Upon seeing Jiang Yi, Chen Kun quickly stood up from the sofa and said, "Brother, I called home last night and warned my father and the Chen family members. My father promised that such a thing would never happen again. Could you please intercede with the chairperson for me so I can continue working at Tian Sheng Group..."
"You know my mother's temper. Once she's made up her mind, no one can change it!"
Jiang Yi patted Chen Kun on the shoulder and said, "You've been working quite hard lately. Take this opportunity to rest well. Once you're feeling refreshed, you can go back to help at Tian Sheng Group."
Chen Kun's expression was one of helplessness upon hearing this.
He knew that nothing he said now would make a difference.
Even if Jiang Yi wanted to help, he couldn't.
"Brother, aren't you planning to deal with Wan Hui Company? How about I help you?"
Chen Kun said, "I can't stand just doing nothing and being idle all day!"
Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh at this.
Chen Kun had truly changed a lot.
He used to be a carefree young master from a wealthy family, spending his days on eating, drinking, and having fun. Now, he was completely different; he couldn't stand even a month of rest.
"Shen Lu can handle the matter of Wan Hui Company for me!"
Jiang Yi looked at Chen Kun and said, "If you really can't stand being idle, then I'll assign you a task!"
"What task?"
Chen Kun asked eagerly.
"At your age, you can get married. Use this time to find a girlfriend and get married quickly!" Jiang Yi said with a smile.
"Brother, you're interfering too much! You're even managing this kind of thing?" Chen Kun said helplessly.
"I don't want to meddle in your affairs, but seeing you like this, I can't just ignore it. You call me brother, and I have to consider your future. I can't have you following me forever, working yourself to the bone every day, can I? If it's like that, life would be meaningless!" Jiang Yi said.
Hearing this, Chen Kun secretly glanced at Shen Lu.
Chen Kun had actually always liked Shen Lu!
He had pursued Shen Lu before, but it was never successful, and he eventually had to give up.
"Why are you looking at me?"
Shen Lu shot Chen Kun a glare.
Chen Kun smiled, then turned his gaze to Jiang Yi and said, "Brother, you know, Shen Lu is the only one I like. I hope you can fulfill my wish!"
Jiang Yi felt a bit exasperated.
"I can't help you with this!"
Jiang Yi said, "Shen Lu herself has to agree to this. How can I help you?"
"You should just give up on that idea! I'm not interested in you!"
Shen Lu looked at Chen Kun and said, "There are many women in the capital who are prettier than me. You were busy with work before and didn't have time. Now that you have time, you might be able to find someone you truly like!"
After speaking, Shen Lu found an excuse and left the living room.
Shen Lu had no interest in Chen Kun.
Moreover, ever since Shen Lu started working with Jiang Yi, she had devoted all her attention to her work and had never thought about romantic relationships.
Seeing Shen Lu leave, Chen Kun's face was filled with helplessness!
"I don't necessarily want you to get married, I just want you to relax. Besides, this is not something that falls under my purview to manage!" Jiang Yi said.
Chen Kun was very disheartened.
He had originally intended to take this opportunity to confess his feelings to Shen Lu, but it had failed again.
Just then, a servant walked in from outside.
"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Dongfang is here!" the servant announced.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi knew it was Dongfang Xun.
Dongfang Xun was probably here to beg him to cure his girlfriend's father.
Dongfang Xun was too pathetic, and Jiang Yi really didn't want to deal with him.
"Go tell Dongfang Xun that I'm not here!" Jiang Yi instructed.
"Yes!"
The servant acknowledged and left the living room.
"Dongfang Xun came to see you in person, so it must be something important. Why aren't you meeting him, Brother?" Chen Kun asked, puzzled.
Jiang Yi explained the situation.
Chen Kun was stunned after listening.
"Dongfang Xun always seemed quite capable. How could he be so completely subdued by a woman? He's become so pathetic. Is this still the arrogant Dongfang Xun from before?" Chen Kun's tone was full of surprise.
"Dongfang Xun is infatuated with that woman, Song Tong!" Jiang Yi said.
"Hearing you say that, I'm quite curious. I want to see what kind of woman Song Tong is, to make Dongfang Xun turn into this state!" Chen Kun grinned.
Just as Jiang Yi was about to speak, the servant re-entered the living room.
"I already told Mr. Dongfang that Mr. Jiang is not here, but he doesn't believe me and is still waiting at the entrance. He said he won't leave until he sees you today!" the servant reported.
"Dongfang Xun is trying to play the rogue with me!"
Jiang Yi remarked.
"Brother, how about I go beat him up and chase him away?" Chen Kun suggested to Jiang Yi.
"No need!"
Jiang Yi said, "He's Dongfang Mei's brother. How can I lay hands on him? Since he's unwilling to leave, let him wait at the entrance!"
Jiang Yi planned to go to Wan Hui Company.
After leaving the living room, Jiang Yi called Shen Lu to accompany him.
Chen Kun also wanted to go, but Jiang Yi refused.
Chen Kun had never been to Wan Hui Company before. If he went along, given Qiu Fang's suspicious nature, it would definitely intensify his doubts about Jiang Yi.
To avoid being seen by Dongfang Xun, Jiang Yi left through the back door of the villa.
However, as soon as he reached the wall, he was blocked by Dongfang Xun.
