Chapter 360: Chapter 360 He Definitely Won’t Marry
Now in our main branch, the only one left in the Jiang Group is Jiang Chao.
If even Jiang Chao leaves the Jiang Family, then our main branch would be completely finished.
“Mom, Zhongzhen has already left the Jiang Family, isn’t that enough?”
Cheng Wan was so anxious that she almost got up from the hospital bed, “Mom, your heart can’t be so biased, right? Jiang Yan has already become the chairman of the Jiang Family, no one can shake his position now. Why do you still want Chao to leave the Jiang Family?”
“What’s the hurry?” The Old Madam looked at her and said sternly: “When did I ever say for him to leave the Jiang Family?”
Sending him off to Jin City, isn’t that just kicking him out of the Jiang Family?
Of course, she didn’t dare to say this out loud.
The Old Madam said: “Then tell me, what can he do in the Jiang Family? He’s just occupying a department manager position without doing anything, dawdling day after day, and needs an assistant to hold meetings for him. How is that different from occupying a latrine without defecating? Do you want the Jiang Family to support him for a lifetime?”
“I sent him to Jin City to hone his management abilities and problem-solving skills. If he can’t even handle a small subsidiary, how can you expect him to manage the Jiang Family? I think if the Jiang Family falls into his hands, it will go bankrupt sooner or later. Are you still expecting him to provide you with a wealthy life? I think it’s more like a fool’s dream!”
Every word from the Old Madam was sharp and serious.
Cheng Wan was speechless for a moment.
And Jiang Zhongzhen actually very much agreed with his mother’s actions.
Jiang Chao was only able to join the Jiang Family because of him.
If it weren’t for the fact that he was the son of Jiang Zhongzhen, the Jiang Family would have kicked him out long ago.
So, regarding the Old Madam’s words, he didn’t object.
Then, the Old Madam continued: “This matter is not up for discussion. I’m just informing you!”
Although Cheng Wan understood what the Old Madam meant, she still didn’t want Jiang Chao to go to Jin City in her heart.
She said: “Mom, Yanan is pregnant now, letting them, a couple, be separated, I’m worried that it could affect Yanan’s mood.”
Zhong Min sneered: “What, is the Jiang Family short of money for a plane ticket? I am sending him to Jin City to train, I didn’t say he couldn’t come home. Can’t he arrange time to come home and see his wife? Besides, Yanan is not an unreasonable child; she is much clearer-headed than you!”
The last sentence from the Old Madam instantly made Cheng Wan’s face turn very ugly, even embarrassed.
Zhong Min rarely criticized her faults; in many cases, she couldn’t be bothered to speak.
But today, every word the Old Madam said seemed to be aimed at her.
The Old Madam understood Chu Yanan well; in their family, probably only Chu Yanan’s thoughts were the purest. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have agreed to marry her daughter to the Chu Family in the first place.
After all these years, she hasn’t been influenced by Cheng Wan’s market-oriented thinking, which is rare.
“Ah Yan, I’ll leave this matter to you to handle; get it settled as soon as possible, preferably within this month,” ordered the Old Madam directly to Jiang Yan.
Cheng Wan looked at Jiang Zhongzhen, who had been silent the entire time.
She just wanted him to speak up and get the Old Madam to take back this decision.
Unfortunately, Jiang Zhongzhen didn’t even glance at her.
Jiang Yan answered: “Okay, I got it, Grandma.”
The Old Madam got up, “Alright, since there’s nothing else, I’ll head back first.”
This time Jiang Zhongzhen spoke up: “Mom, please take care, and thank you for today.”
The Old Madam looked at him deeply without saying anything and left the hospital room, accompanied by the Housekeeper.
Then, Jiang Yan also left.
Once everyone was gone, Cheng Wan stared at Jiang Zhongzhen furiously and said: “Old man, why didn’t you speak up?”
Hearing her words, for the first time, Jiang Zhongzhen felt powerless.
He really didn’t want to talk to her.
He didn’t know what craziness had possessed him to marry such a brainless woman!
If time could be turned back, he definitely wouldn’t marry her!
Jiang Zhongzhen ignored her and his head still ached.
He pulled up the blanket and just lay down.
He just wanted to feign deafness and muteness; he was too tired, both physically and mentally exhausted.
“…”
Jiang Yan’s execution was extremely swift; he had almost taken care of the matter on that very same day.
For such matters, there was no need for any handover; a simple appointment notice would suffice.
The department Jiang Chao was in charge of did not require him to carry out any handover tasks; after receiving the notification of his personnel transfer, he could just pack up his things and roll off to Jin City.
Human Resources Department.
Director’s office.
“Manager Jiang, this wasn’t my decision. It was made by higher-ups, and I’m just following orders,” said the Director.
Upon receiving the email about his personnel transfer, Jiang Chao went directly to confront them.
“Higher-ups? Are you talking about Jiang Yan?”
The HR Director just smiled and did not respond.
There were very few in the entire company who dared to call the chairman by his name.
The next second, Jiang Chao stormed out furiously.
As soon as he left, the HR Director made a call to the secretariat on the top floor.
“Assistant Jiang, Manager Jiang has left my office.”
“Okay, I’m aware of it.”
“…”
Ten minutes later.
As soon as Jiang Chao reached the top floor and just stepped out of the elevator, he was stopped by Jiang Feng.
Jiang Chao glared at him angrily: “You dare to block me?”
Jiang Feng replied calmly, “Mr. Jiang, the Master is currently unavailable; he’s in a meeting. It’s not appropriate for you to go in right now.”
Jiang Chao did not believe him, “Don’t you try to deceive me here; it’s just that he doesn’t dare to see me!”
“Mr. Jiang, I’m really not lying to you,” Jiang Feng said. “I know what you’re here for, but the matter is already settled. Even if you go to the Master, it won’t make any difference; there is no room for reversal.”
Jiang Chao did not listen to his words at all, “Move aside!”
Jiang Feng sighed inwardly, knowing he was truly stubborn!
He was stopping him for his own good, to save him from being scolded later inside.
“Jiang Feng, don’t force me to get physical with you!”
His threat posed no intimidation to Jiang Feng.
If it really came to blows, it was not certain who would beat who.
At this moment, Jiang Qi came over and exchanged a glance with him.
Understanding the situation, Jiang Feng withdrew his hand and stopped blocking the way.
With no one stopping him, Jiang Chao hurried to the CEO’s office as if his feet had grown wings.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yan was in the midst of an online international conference.
“Bang!”
The door was slammed open with a loud noise.
The people in the video were shocked.
On the other hand, a certain individual was exceedingly calm, without a single ripple.
“Jiang Yan, are you doing this on purpose? You drove my father away, and now you want to drive me out of the Jiang Family, you just want to swallow the entire Jiang Group all by yourself!”
Upon entering, Jiang Chao began yelling and cursing loudly.
The man sat in front of his desk, his expression as cold as ice, and he said to the people in the video, “The meeting will be paused for a moment, no need to disconnect.”
He spoke in English.
The man lifted his gaze slightly, those deep and sharp eyes seeming to burn with a thousand rays of brilliance.
And Jiang Chao was already standing before him.
Between the two was a desk.
When Jiang Chao met the man’s eyes, his previous arrogance dissipated instantly.
The domineering aura emanating from the man, along with the overwhelming pressure, made him shiver uncontrollably.
He swallowed hard, and with trepidation, said: “Jiang Yan, by what right do you transfer me to that godforsaken place in Jin City?”
Jiang Yan looked at him with a deep and somber gaze, his words utterly indifferent and merciless: “Of course, because I am the chairman of the Jiang Group. What, do you have an objection?”
That light and seemingly casual remark left Jiang Chao speechless.
As the highest decision-maker of the Jiang Group, Jiang Yan held absolute authority.
Besides, it was just a simple transfer order.
Even though Jiang Chao was two years older than Jiang Yan, among their male cousins, it was Jiang Yan who had the most say.
He stifled for a long time before blurting out: “I won’t go!”
Having said that, he sat down on the chair beside him, fuming with defeat and frustration.
But the next second, he gave in, even one could say he was behaving shamelessly.
“If you don’t retract this transfer order, then I’ll just stay put right here!”
“…”
Jiang Yan was directly amused to laughter: “Heh…”
Honestly, it’s not that he looked down on Jiang Chao, but in his current state, entrusting the company to him would be akin to throwing it into a pit of fire, wouldn’t it?
To be honest, his great-uncle did have a business mind, even a bit sly and cunning, it’s just that he was a bit too eager for quick success.
But unfortunately, neither of his sons inherited even a bit of this business acumen.
After a moment of silence, the man said indifferently: “Fine, then just hang around.”
After that, he stopped paying him any attention and chose to continue with the meeting.
Jiang Chao hadn’t expected him to let it go just like that.
Sometime later, he heard different voices coming from the computer in front of him.
They were all speaking English, something he couldn’t understand at all.
Yet by contrast, the man in front of him was responding with ease.
From childhood, he knew Jiang Yan was a very outstanding person.
The regal aura that emanated from him was something he never possessed.
And he couldn’t learn it either.
Calm, resolute, decisive, acting with swift efficiency—all of these, he didn’t have.
But he could see all of them in Jiang Yan.
Once Jiang Chao calmed down, he thought a lot, the more he thought and compared, the more he realized how different he was from the man before him.
That is also why the reins of the Jiang Family fell into his hands, and not to those of the main branch.
Even his own father couldn’t beat him, how could he expect to?
Half an hour later.
Jiang Feng and Jiang Qi watched as he left with a dejected look, as if he’d suffered a huge blow, completely downcast.
“What happened to him?” Jiang Feng muttered curiously.
Jiang Qi shook his head, indicating he didn’t know.
“I don’t seem to have heard Master scolding anyone either.”
Since the young master entered, other than his few loud words, they didn’t hear any sound coming from inside.
And Cheng Wan, hearing in the hospital that Jiang Chao had accepted this arrangement, was so furious she couldn’t even eat.
As for Su He, it wasn’t until the evening of that same day that she found out about the incident.
Indeed, it was somewhat beyond her expectations.
But she didn’t inquire too much, after all, it wasn’t of much relation to her.
It was only after hearing about Jiang Chao being transferred to Jin City by Grandma that she immediately thought of Cheng Wan, guessing that woman must be going crazy.
“Didn’t the great-aunt cause a fuss?”
She sat cross-legged on the bed, looking up curiously at the man standing by the bed and asked.
Jiang Yan said: “No.”
Su He raised an eyebrow and said, “That’s quite unexpected, huh.”
“What happens with them doesn’t concern us. Right now, I only care about my own matters.”
After saying that, the man leaned over and pressed down towards her.
Su He could only lie back helplessly.
The man supported himself on the bed with one hand, while his other hand caressed her cheek.
“Has your period ended?”
His gaze on her was gentle as water, filled with hidden desire, seemingly on the verge of bursting forth at any second.
Su He placed her hands on his shoulder blades, curved her red lips into a smile, and said lightly, “It hasn’t.”
Hearing that, the man’s brow furrowed slightly.
That’s impossible, he had counted the days.
Su He knew what he was thinking, “I’m sorry, it’s running a bit long this time, probably because I’ve been staying up late recently.”
“Are you sure you’re not lying to me?” he asked with narrowed eyes.
Right after asking, his hand started to become restless.
Su He quickly caught his wrist with a fast reaction and said speechlessly, “Can you not have such a huge appetite?”
“Would I use something like this to deceive you?”
She was truly amazed by him; this man looked quite proper when he was dressed, but the moment he was on the bed, he became like a starving wolf.
“But I’ve been abstaining for a week now, it’s uncomfortable.”
When Su He saw him looking so aggrieved, she was so irritated that she laughed, “So, how is this related to me?”
“Don’t you feel sorry for me at all?”
“What’s there to feel sorry for?”
“What if it breaks from holding back?”
“Then I will cure it for you. Don’t you believe in my medical skills?”
“…”
Jiang Yan realized that the topic was drifting off course.
Seeing his frown deepen, Su He thought he was genuinely worried, so she added, “You can be rest assured, it won’t break. It’s not like rusting iron that deteriorates with time.”
She patted his shoulder and said, “Alright, let’s sleep. If you really can’t sleep, I’ll play a Heart Clarity Spell for you to listen to.”
Just as Jiang Yan was about to say something, she immediately added, “Oh, right, I forgot to tell you. I have a surgery at City First Hospital tomorrow, so I can’t tire myself out too much.”
That certainly cut off any last bit of hope in his heart.
However, with this, she really wasn’t deceiving him—she did have a surgery scheduled for tomorrow.
Taking advantage of his momentary distraction, Su He pushed him away with force, flipped nimbly into the bed, and snuggled into the blankets.
As soon as she lay down, she took her mobile phone from the bedside table and truly found a Heart Clarity Spell, then played it out loud.
Jiang Yan: “…”
“Wife.”
“Calling me mom is no use; I can’t help you with this.”
She had just finished speaking when she suddenly changed the topic, “Actually, I do have one method.”
Her eyes squinted into a smile as she looked at him, then she reached out, taking his well-defined hand in hers.
She liked his hands very much; they were very good-looking, with a plain ring on the ring finger that made the ring look all the more attractive.
They exchanged a glance, and some words were conveyed without needing to be spoken aloud.
She said, “You know what I mean.”
Jiang Yan: “…”
Su He wasn’t so stingy after all; she sat up and planted a kiss on his cheek, “Goodnight, husband, may you have sweet dreams tonight.”
“…”
