1073: Chapter 1074: Look at This Shameless Family 1073: Chapter 1074: Look at This Shameless Family With a single order from Xiao Chen, that group of men pushed Duanmu Lin to the ground and beat him mercilessly.
“I’m crawling, I’m crawling!”
Duanmu Lin cried out in fear.
A wise man knows better than to swim against the tide.
Before an audience of thousands, he crawled out from the Preparatory Committee.
Many people held back their laughter, elated at heart.
Thinking to themselves that the proud and arrogant Patriarch Duanmu also had his day; he absolutely deserved it.
It was only after Duanmu Lin had left that the venue burst into thunderous laughter, the people relishing their relief.
Usually, it was the Duanmu Family causing trouble for others; finally, they had let off some steam.
“Dad, you, why did you actually crawl out!”
Duanmu Yun was shocked to see her father crawling out.
“Slap!”
Duanmu Lin slapped her, truly annoyed at being reminded of the embarrassment.
Duanmu Yun, knowing she had spoken out of turn, didn’t dare to utter another word.
It was Mouse who spoke up, “Patriarch, that Xiao Chen has become a temporary security manager and is already so arrogant.
If he really joins Xiao Corporation, wouldn’t he just walk all over us and piss on our heads?
This incident must be that kid’s doing behind the scenes.”
“That’s right, dad, although that guy isn’t in charge, as the security manager, he definitely has a say.
And, although I hate to admit it, the kid is genuinely handsome and manly.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Bai Xue has been seduced by him,”
Duanmu Yun said, covering her face.
“Hmph, to think they’d dare interfere with the Duanmu Family’s bid.
That kid is dead meat.
Let’s go and get ready to welcome President Andi and other executives from Xiao Corporation.
When the time comes, we’ll complain about Xiao Chen in front of Andi.
Not only will we regain our eligibility, but Xiao Chen probably won’t be able to wiggle out of this one either, and he’ll lose his job to boot,”
Duanmu Lin snorted coldly.
What he obviously didn’t know was that Andi and the others had already arrived in Xiongcheng City, but they were just hiding out in Crow Villa handling affairs, unknown to the outside world.
After they left, the bid announcement ceremony also concluded shortly after.
Xiao Chen and Jiang Meng walked out from the venue, “The Fang Family’s bid was too poor, so they couldn’t possibly win the core project.
This is a welfare project, let them have it.
I personally called Andi for their approval; we must ensure the safe progression of this project.
So, my dear wife, you’ll have to work hard on this one.
Take charge from beginning to end; otherwise, I won’t be at ease.”
“Don’t worry, I will,”
Jiang Meng nodded.
Xiao Chen hesitated, as he could see that Jiang Meng still harbored some illusions about Fang Enze, believing he would reform.
He wanted to share the report from Zhang Qin’an, but in the end, he held back.
Better to let Jiang Meng experience it firsthand.
That way, she would truly understand what kind of people the Fang Family were.
After Jiang Meng received the project contract, she went to the Fang Family.
She wanted to share the good news with her teacher.
Hoping that, upon receiving this contract, he would genuinely turn over a new leaf.
In reality, she was willing to forgo her half of the profits if Fang Enze handled things as previously agreed.
After the success of the project, she didn’t need her share of the earnings.
She only hoped that the teacher who once cared for his students would return and no longer persist in his folly.
At that time, the Fang Family was on edge.
Knowing that today was the day of the bid announcement, they had gotten up early in anticipation, not daring to attend the ceremony for fear of disappointment.
Seeing Jiang Meng enter, they all looked up with expectant eyes.
“Jiang Meng, how did it go?”
Fang Enze asked anxiously.
Jiang Meng nodded and said, “We got it.
Here’s the project contract and detailed information.
The project is worth fifty billion; I didn’t go back on my word, did I?”
While speaking, she handed the contract and project materials over to Fang Enze.
After looking them over, Fang Enze was overjoyed.
Everyone else clamored to see.
“This is really the contract, my God, Jiang Meng really succeeded, this is like heaven itself is helping the Fang Family.”
Fang Enze was uncontrollably excited.
“Jiang Meng, I really can’t thank you enough, I didn’t expect you to actually secure the project for us, thank you so much.”
Jiang Meng shook her head, “This is something I promised Teacher Fang I would do, naturally, I would follow through.
But Teacher Fang, you haven’t forgotten what you promised me, have you?
This project belongs to the Fang Family, but I’m the person in charge, and going forward, the profits will be split equally.”
Fang Enze was taken aback for a moment, and the expressions on the Fang Family members’ faces turned a bit strange.
Jiang Meng felt that something was not quite right.
As expected, Fang Enze said in surprise, “Jiang Meng, how can you be like this?
None of this was mentioned beforehand!”
As soon as he said this, Jiang Meng was immediately stunned.
But more than that, she was heartbroken.
Her biggest fear was exactly this.
She didn’t care about the profits, but what she cared about was Fang Enze’s promise to her.
Regrettably, Fang Enze had still done this.
“Right, Jiang Meng, if you had such requirements you should have stated them earlier.
Even signing a written agreement would do.
You didn’t say anything and now you suddenly come up with this demand, isn’t that a bit like capitalizing on our desperate situation?” said the head of the Fang Family.
“Shut up, I’m not talking to you.
Teacher Fang, I’m just asking you this one thing: are you serious?
Can’t our teacher-student relationship even withstand this small test?”
Jiang Meng was very angry, but beyond her anger, there was more sadness and helplessness.
Money really is a scary thing; even someone like Fang Enze couldn’t maintain control.
“Jiang Meng, what are you talking about?
What do you mean am I serious?
You clearly never mentioned this, and I certainly never agreed.”
Fang Enze was obviously determined.
“Jiang Meng, don’t go too far.
Our family is very grateful for your contribution, but don’t be greedy.
Here is a check for one hundred million yuan, take it.
But don’t push your luck.”
The Family Head Fang handed a check over to Jiang Meng.
“That’s right, Jiang Meng, we were all there at the time, you clearly never mentioned this.
We can testify, did you perhaps dream it?”
“Jiang Meng, a man needs face like a tree needs bark; aren’t you just being shameless?”
“Yeah, how are you any different from that shameless Xiongcheng City Construction Group?”
Jiang Meng listened to these shameless remarks.
She suddenly laughed, a rather desolate laugh: “Teacher Fang, this is the last time I address you as ‘teacher’.
How much I wish this were all a dream.
Unfortunately, it isn’t.
My teacher, who used to care for his students, where has he gone?
Do you really want to continue this way?
Your student is very heartbroken.”
Fang Enze opened his mouth, his eyes flickered, perhaps recalling past events, but in the end, he ground his teeth and said: “I don’t know what you’re talking about, I never agreed to any such thing, are you forcing me to say I did?”
“Forget it, I can’t be bothered to argue with you.
You don’t think that just by doing this, you can secure the project, do you?”
Jiang Meng said coldly: “Xiao Corporation takes this Longcheng project very seriously; you should know that.
Given the Xiao Family’s ability to handle things, how could they trust you?
It was for me that they gave you the project.
Now that you’re excluding me, do you really think everything will be alright?
Foolish!
Ren Jing, let’s go.”
