Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Guan Mo was very happy when he got a call from Jiang Minghua. When he heard that she had been bullied by Wen Sang, he was furious and said that he would teach Wen Sang a lesson for her.

“Then will you help Jiang Corporation so I can do a good job as the acting chairperson?”

“I will. Whatever help you need.”

Jiang Minghua was happy that he agreed. She added, “You wanted to propose to me last time. If you help me take over Jiang Corporation, Ill agree to your proposal.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

“I will do my best. Minghua, wait for me!”

Jiang Minghua’s lips curled up after her suitors promised to help her.

She must destroy Wen Sang!

Song Yan figured that Song Enterprise could also play a part at this time to help her daughter.

She contacted Song Kai, the current CEO of Song Enterprise.

Song Kai agreed with a smile. He would help Jiang Minghua, but he had a small request. Could his aunt help him get shares of Song Enterprise?

Song Kai felt that he was a toothless tiger when he didn’t own any shares of

Song Enterprise, just a general manager without any real power.

Song Yan was still very wary of people. “Shares don’t really affect your influence over Song Enterprise. I hope you’ll help Minghua.”

Song Kai revealed a tight smile. “Aunt is right. I will definitely help Minghua.” Song Yan was happy to hear his answer. She said some encouraging words and even gave him something to look forward to: when Minghua took control of Jiang Corporation, there would be more business for Song Enterprise and he would make more money.

Song Kai nodded with a smile. After parting ways with Song Yan, he called Jiang Jingchen.

“Song Yan reached out to me, probably in her attempt to get support from multiple parties to secure Jiang Minghua’s position at Jiang Corporation.” Jiang Jingchen asked, “What are your thoughts?”

“Me?”

Song Kai laughed in frustration when Jiang Jingchen asked him the obvious. “Never mind. If I talk to you some more, you are just going to show off your love. Bye.”

Jiang Jingchen listened to the call disconnect tone on his phone in his study at home. He was indeed going to show off his love. His wife wanted to practice acupressure after reading and asked him to be her test subject.

“Tsk, Obedient Beibei, not so hard please.”

Tang Beibei said innocently, “I’m already very gentle. You must have an old injury here, so you feel pain when I press on it. It’ll get better if I massage it more.”

Jiang Jingchen felt where she was pressing. There had indeed been an old injury on that spot from his car accident. He endured the pain, squeezing his phone tightly, as she massaged that spot.

He then heard the woman say, “If you want to repair these old injuries, you’ll need some extra nourishment. Hubby, when you have time, let’s consult Professor Chen. He can prescribe some medicine for you to rid you of any lingering discomfort.”

Jiang Jingchen grabbed her wrist, got up, pulled her into his arms, and hooked her chin.

“You want me to get some extra nourishment?”

“Yeah. To improve your body’s ability to fight diseases and heal itself. I can also supplement your treatment with acupuncture and moxibustion.”

Jiang Jingchen chuckled. “I think you’re quite nutritious.”

Tang Beibei was stunned. She moved his arms away as she said, “How am I nutritious? I’m not edible but moxibustion… Mmm.”

He didn’t want to hear her talk about how moxibustion could help him. He just wanted her to nourish him now.

Tang Beibei had to go to school and Jiang Jingchen didn’t need to go to work. He worked from home and occasionally took their two dogs out for walks.

He was on his way home with the dogs when a car drove past him, made a sharp turn and stopped in the middle of the road, in front of him.

Xiaokang and Xiaoan sensed danger and barked.

The car door opened, and a man got out.

“Young Master Jiang, you’ve mastered the art of leisure.”

When Jiang Jingchen saw that it was Wu Rui. He must want something to intercept him like that.

“You’re not bad yourself, going for a drive during office hours.”

Wu Rui said with a chuckle, “I’m here to talk to you.”

“I don’t think we have anything to talk about.”

-Yes, for example, the shares you have now. What are you doing to do with them?”

Jiang Jingchen had long expected someone to ask about his shares. Wu Rui was the fourth party who approached him about his shares of Jiang Corporation.

“I’m taking a long position. You okay with that?”

“Sure. But I have a way to make your shares worth even more, like if you sell them to me.”

Jiang Jingchen knew that this kid was up to something.

“How much are you offering?”

Wu Rui heard this and thought that there was a chance.

“One billion yuan!”

Jiang Jingchen chuckled. “You want to buy me out with just one billion yuan? Wu Rui, you really don’t know how to do business, do you?”

Wu Rui asked with a smile, “Did the people who approached you before me offered you a better price?”

“Of course!”

Jiang Jingchen even said deliberately, “The heir of the Wen family, Wen Sang approached me and offered two billion. She even offered me a position to work at Wen Corporation, but I didn’t accept her offer. Wu Rui, go back and calculate how much money you have before you talk to me again.”

Wu Rui frowned. “You want to sell your shares to Wen Sang?”

“Depends on my mood.”

“Don’t you know that Wen Sang swaggered into Jiang Corporation and beat up Jiang Minghua?”

“Whether you like it or not, Jiang Minghua is your sister. Why aren’t you helping her instead of an outsider?”

Jiang Jingchen chuckled. “My sister? How much is that worth?”

Wu Rui didn’t know what to say. He crossed his arms and stared at Jiang Jingchen.

Suddenly, he said with a chuckle, “Jiang Jingchen, you’re quite interesting. I don’t want to be your enemy; I’d like to be your friend.”

“Oh?” Jiang Jingchen tugged at the leash he was holding and called out to Xiaoan.

Xiaoan immediately ran to his feet and snuggled against his leg fawningly.

“I’m friends with dogs,” Jiang Jingchen said. “Are you worthy?”

What he meant to ask was if Wu Rui thought that he could compare to dogs…

Wu Rui gritted his teeth in anger and said coldly, “Jiang Jingchen, don’t think that I don’t know that you’re secretly buying ordinary shares of Jiang Corporation from the market.”

Jiang Jingchen couldn’t be bothered with him. He patted Xiaoan’s head and said, “Let’s go home. Let your Aunt Ruan Qi play with you. I wouldn’t want animals of other species to dirty your fur.”

Wu Rui clenched his fists.

This Young Master Jiang was really sharp-tongued. He didn’t even need profanities when he insulted people.

Over dinner at night, Tang Beibei asked Jiang Jingchen if he was bored at home and if he wanted to work again.

“Yeah, I’m quite bored. I’ll look for a job in the next couple of days.”

Song Zhou watched Jiang Jingchen lie through his teeth and shouted in his heart that they weren’t bored at all.Thɪs chapter is updated by ɴovᴇl(F)ɪre.ɴet

They were so busy every day!

He was always in a hurry. He would try to finish his work when Tang Beibei was in school so that he could act like a slacker when she came home.

Tang Beibei asked, “Do you need to prepare a resume? Can I help? What kind of job are you looking for? It can’t be too tiring, and the working hours can’t be too long. It doesn’t matter if the salary is lower.”

Ruan Qi knew their situation. She clicked her tongue and teased, “Working hours can’t be too long and the job can’t be tiring. Salaries for such jobs are indeed not high. For example, being a janitor, security guard or the like. Sweeping or standing around to watch people isn’t tiring.”

Song Zhou couldn’t help but burst out laughing. He quickly covered his mouth when he felt Jiang Jingchen’s cold gaze.

Tang Beibei said, “My husband is smart. It’ll be a waste to put him in jobs that require physical labor. Besides, sweeping and standing guard doesn’t give one a high sense of personal achievement. No.”

Ruan Qi chimed in again, “Your husband is smart, but you won’t let work jobs that require physical labor. Is it because you want him to expend all his energy on you?” ⁶

“… Qiqi, stop talking!” Tang Beibei was so embarrassed that she wanted to cover Ruan Qi’s mouth.

Ruan Qi made a face at her and said, “Your man is an adult. He has his own ideas about what he wants to do. You don’t have to worry about it. Just focus on your studies. He doesn’t need you to worry about him.”

Tang Beibei pursed her lips, looked at Jiang Jingchen and nodded quietly.

“What you said makes sense. I don’t understand these things anyway, so I can’t really help.”

Jiang Jingchen gave Ruan Qi a mean look, which made her pout aggrievedly.

She was speaking up for him. Could Young Master Jiang have a conscience?

Jiang Jingchen gave her a cold look.

Would having a conscience make his wife happy?

If it wouldn’t, having one was just a waste of space. He was happy not having a conscience! ‘

Ruan Qi was speechless..
