The next day, as soon as Jiang Can walked into the company, she felt that everyone was looking at her differently.

She was a little puzzled. After finishing a few documents, An'an knocked on the door and came in, excitedly whispering in her ear, "It's all over the company... Your husband is amazing!"

Jiang Can was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"Those stocks!" An'an waved her phone. "They're all bright red, didn't you see?"

Jiang Can rarely pay attention to these things, but she became interested after hearing An An talk about it.

Looking at the market trend, Gu Mang was right after all!

She frowned, a strange feeling suddenly creeping into her heart.

"I heard those guys in the marketing department bought some Heyan Industry shares and they've all lost a fortune!" An'an gloated. "They can't sell them now, but our Director Dai is really clever. He had his friend at the stock exchange secretly sell them early this morning and buy a few other shares... Ha, he's probably grinning from ear to ear right now!"

Jiang Can forced a smile, her mind somewhat muddled, as if she were walking in a fog.

Is what Gu Mang said really that amazing?

Perhaps... this was just a coincidence for him? He usually likes to read financial news and pay attention to stock market fluctuations. He analyzes the situation to get a feel for things, so it's not surprising.

However, Jiang Can had a small knot in her heart, feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

When she arrived at the restaurant at noon, she was unusually surrounded by a group of employees, unlike her usual solitary self.

"Manager Jiang, please have a seat here!"

"No, I..." Jiang Can was pressed into her seat before she could refuse.

Someone had already prepared the food and brought it to her; this was several times more expensive than what she usually ate.

She was surrounded by flattery and praise, and some people even asked her directly which stocks would rise next week.

Jiang Can was both amused and exasperated, a mouthful of food stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down.

"Sister Jiang Can, who exactly is your husband? Is he a stock market genius reincarnated?!"

"I said it at the last banquet: my brother-in-law looks very distinguished and has an extraordinary presence. He must be a very important person!"

"Ha, who's your brother-in-law? Last time you called him a thug and you were so happy about it!"

"you……"

Several people started arguing amongst themselves, while Jiang Can quietly watched them and gave an awkward smile.

In the past, these people viewed her with prejudice and were very dissatisfied that she could become a manager, but now they fawn over her like a star.

Jiang Can sighed helplessly.

She didn't know much about interpersonal relationships, but she understood that people's hearts were won over by sincerity, not by a few flattering words that changed with the wind.

"Sister Jiang Can, what kind of work does your husband usually do?"

“Oh,” Jiang Can paused, “He’s a coach at a boxing club now, but he’s quite fond of researching things like stocks and funds.”

"Wow, that's amazing!" Everyone praised again. "Why would you need to have dinner with Buffett? Just have a meal with our Sister Jiang Can and you'll be rich!"

The restaurant was filled with lively laughter and chatter.

Jiang Yao, who was not far away, stared intently at this side.

The food on the plate hadn't been touched, but the chopsticks were already about to break.

Last night, I originally wanted to embarrass Gu Mang and humiliate Jiang Can.

Unexpectedly, he shot himself in the foot!

Jiang Yao's eyes flashed with malice as she bit her lip viciously, wishing she could tear Jiang Can apart and drink her blood.

...

Later that evening, Jiang Yao returned home and noticed that Jiang Mingyuan's expression was off. She subconsciously glanced at Yang Juan, who was sitting to the side.

Yang Juan winked at her, then covered her lips with one hand, mouthing "Be careful."

Jiang Yao's heart jumped into her throat.

Jiang Mingyuan coughed twice, then suddenly looked up. The light in his eyes sent chills down Jiang Yao's spine.

"Dad..." Jiang Yao smiled insincerely, "Dad came home early today, is everything alright at the company?"

"Ha," Jiang Mingyuan looked at her coldly, "You seem quite concerned about my company's situation!"

Jiang Yao pursed her lips, "The Jiang family business is our family's business, of course I should care about it..."

"Are you still concerned about who will inherit this estate after I die?!"

Jiang Mingyuan slammed his hand on the table, stood up abruptly, and glared angrily.

Jiang Yao trembled with fright, her face turning pale. She looked at him timidly and hurriedly explained, "Dad, you, you've misunderstood, I didn't..."

"Still trying to argue!"

The teacup on the table crashed to the ground and shattered into pieces! Jiang Yao shrank her neck, clenched her fists tightly, and her lips trembled but she couldn't utter a word.

Yang Juan didn't dare to offer any advice and could only silently endure the anxiety.

It has been like this for so many years.

Whether at home or at the company, Jiang Mingyuan had transformed himself into a feudal emperor, and anyone who dared to disobey him would suffer a terrible fate.

"I heard that when you were negotiating a cooperation deal at Hongzhang Company, you said in front of a room full of people that you wanted to take over the family business?" Jiang Mingyuan walked up to her, his eyes seeming to hide two knives. "Ha, you really are my good daughter! I'm not even dead yet, and you're already scheming for my money!"

"Dad, let me explain..."

"What's there to explain!" Jiang Mingyuan roared, he hated nothing more than anyone coveting his position.

"I'm telling you right now! If you behave yourself, you'll be the heir to the Jiang family. But if you dare to have any ulterior motives, you won't get a single penny!"

"You are not my only successor, Jiang Mingyuan!"

Jiang Yao felt a buzzing in her ears and looked at him in disbelief.

For so many years, hasn't Jiang Mingyuan always disliked Jiang Can and her daughter?

In order to prevent her from marrying Gu Mang, wasn't he willing to sacrifice Jiang Can?

How could it suddenly be like this...?

Jiang Mingyuan glanced at her coldly, revealing a sly smile.

Jiang Yao was spoiled by him, so it's no wonder she's arrogant and looks down on everyone. If she ever really has the idea of ​​seizing the throne, it will be too late for him to regret it!

Therefore, using Jiang Can to restrain Jiang Yao is the best solution.

Jiang Mingyuan clasped his hands behind his back, his fists clenched slightly. Having lived most of his life, he loved no one but himself!

"Yaoyao," his tone softened, but his voice still carried a hint of coldness, "you are the daughter your father has painstakingly raised, so please don't do anything to disappoint me!"

"Yes, that's right!" Yang Juan quickly smoothed things over, pulling Jiang Mingyuan aside. "Sir, our daughter is sensible! Don't let some petty shrew's instigation mislead you into misunderstanding our daughter!"

"What?" Jiang Mingyuan frowned. "Are you saying I'm so senile that I can't even tell if someone is stirring things up?"

"..." Yang Juan didn't dare to say anything more.

Jiang Mingyuan snorted coldly and continued, "There's a big matter I want to entrust to Yao Yao to handle."

"Dad, please tell me!"

"I heard Huo Zhixin is in Jiangzhou." Jiang Mingyuan smiled. "Haven't you always wanted to marry into the Huo family? That young lady is Huo Sanye's own sister! I don't need to teach you how to do it anymore, do I?"
