Evil Husband, Glutton Wife: Buy Miss Piggy, Get Free Little Buns

Chapter 487 - Zhang Jiren Returns (1)

"Then drive. What are you waiting for?" The handsome man sitting on the backseat replied nonchalantly.

He hadn't expected to meet Tang Moyu's daughter today and certainly hadn't anticipated their short encounter. As he held the chocolate bar in his hand, Zhang Jiren briefly remembered the little girl's face.

The corner of his lips turned up. For the longest time, there wasn't a single person who wished him luck or greeted Zhang Jiren with such a smile for his birthday. Suddenly, out of nowhere, that adorable little girl did.

His assistant said no more and drove towards Zhang Corporation, where the Chairman, as well as Zhang Wuying, were waiting. Zhang Jiren had recently come back from London, after going back and forth between New York and Norway to help Zhang Corporation improve their overseas relations.

"Why does that old woman want to meet me?" Zhang Jiren suddenly asked his assistant.

His assistant glanced at the mirror and saw Zhang Jiren looking outside with a bored expression on his face. He wasn't sure what happened, but after years of working for this man, the assistant thought that there was an unusual gentleness in Zhang Jiren's eyes today.

Zhang Jiren looked to be in his early thirties and stood around 180 cm tall. His face was one that could attract both genders at the same time. Those who knew him from the past would be surprised with his current look.

As a young boy, Zhang Jiren was skinny and his prominent cheekbones gave him a skeletal look. Perhaps because when he was growing up, he didn't receive enough nourishment while he was staying at the orphanage. It wasn't until he was brought to the Zhang family did Zhang Jiren's features improve over time.

By the age of fourteen, his boyish charm had started to attract people, albeit his cold demeanor, which didn't allow anyone to be close with him. By the age of twenty, it wasn't just girls who were onto him. He gained manly features and a face that could stop anyone in their tracks.

As he aged, Zhang Jiren's features became all the more striking, setting him apart from the other Zhang family members with such a dashing look on his face. In terms of face value and reputation, none of the other family members of the Zhang family could undermine him.

"Chairman Zhang suggested that Tang Beixuan join the company, and they want to discuss this with you."

Upon hearing Tang Beixuan's name, the hint of gentleness on Zhang Jiren immediately vanished into thin air and the usual coldness and ruthlessness on his face returned, as if none of that gentleness had been there in the first place.

"Tang Beixuan?" He sneered with contempt. "They want me to babysit that man? In their dreams!"

Zhang Jiren knew about Tang Beixuan and who he really was, but he wouldn't divulge such confidential information even to the man himself. Tang Beixuan was neither a Tang nor a Zhang. For whatever twisted reason that Zhang Wuying had, she used the poor boy to strengthen her position as Madam Tang, but failed. historical

His assistant chose to remain silent. It wasn't lost to him that his boss didn't like his aunt nor his cousin, even a bit, but he wouldn't dare to question him. It wasn't his place and he still needed this job!

As outrageous and workaholic as Zhang Jiren could be, he would never turn his anger towards his subordinates. Unlike their clients and partners, when it comes to his people, Zhang Jiren was a reasonable person, but his apparent hatred towards other members of the Zhang family was something they didn't expect from him.

If he could, Zhang Jiren would rather feed them to the sharks than extend a hand to help Zhang Wuying and Tang Beixuan. His cousin's existence was something Zhang Jiren despised, or rather detest.

Was it because he was Zhang Xianzhe's illegitimate child? This was the only logical reason Zhang Jiren's assistant could think of regarding the man's reason to keep an arm's length from his own family. After all, even if he was an illegitimate child, Zhang Jiren was still a threat for inheritance.

When they arrived at Zhang Corporation, Zhang Jiren didn't waste his time and immediately headed to the Chairman's office to meet his father and aunt. The moment he entered the main lobby of the building, everyone stopped in their tracks and lowered their head to greet him, but Zhang Jiren only swept his gaze over them and nodded.

He entered the elevator and pushed the button for the 66th floor, where the Chairman's office was. They were greeted by several secretaries as Zhang Jiren and his assistant made their way to the office.

"Jiren, you are finally here." Zhang Xianzhe smiled the moment his son entered the office. "Take a seat. I heard that you've successfully closed a deal with our new partner in Norway."

"It's nothing, Chairman. As long as we can assure them that we would be able to do our part of the deal, they are willing to work with us." Zhang Jiren said nonchalantly before he turned his gaze to the old woman sitting next to his father.

"Aunt Wuying." He gave her a curt nod. "Forgive me for not greeting you as soon as I arrived. I'm still a bit tired from my long trip."

Zhang Wuying squirmed in her seat and laughed awkwardly at her nephew. She hadn't seen this man for a long time. She thought that with time, she would lose this awkward feeling she felt from this man.

"Jiren, you are too formal. We are family. I understand your concerns." She replied nervously.

She didn't know why, but ever since she met this boy, she had this ominous feeling about him. This man looked at her like she was the lowest sc.u.m on earth, as if he couldn't wait to step on her like a bug.

Zhang Jiren only nodded in response, but the coldness in his eyes as he looked at her remained.
