Chapter 2

After Jiang Nuo finished his work at the company, he rushed to the hospital without stopping. The Bentley drove out of the basement and turned an intersection, which was the construction site. The green safety net barely covered the flying dust, but could not stop the noise.

The driver was afraid that his young master would find it annoying, so he hurriedly explained: "This is the only way to get to the elevated highway. The other one is closed because of construction."

"Yes, the Jinchuang Building is being renovated."

Jiang Nuo had an impression of this building. It was a typical example of a high-opening and low-ending business. From the moment the land was acquired, the real estate developer had been promoting it as a landmark of Yanlin City. Before it was even completed, all the shops were sold out. Unfortunately, the city planning was later changed, and all the nearby shopping malls lost all their money.

It would be interesting if the Ding family could be induced to invest more here. Jiang Nuo looked through the glass, lost in thought, when he felt a shadow falling, blocking his sight.

It turned out to be a young worker who was also waiting for the red light - there were spots of cement on his vest, the brim of his baseball cap was pulled down very low, and his shoulders and back were broad, providing strong protection.

From Jiang Nuo's perspective, he could only see the smooth muscle lines on his arms, which were hot and shiny from the sun, and looked very beautiful.

Jiang Nuo felt a surge of envy, subconsciously looking down at his own arm, suddenly feeling a sense of self-humiliation. Just then, the traffic light changed and the car started moving. Young Master Jiang leaned back in his chair in frustration, closing his eyes and resting, instantly forgetting about the tall migrant worker.

.

When he arrived at the hospital, Jiang Nuo remembered that visitors were not allowed in the ICU. He could only watch from afar through the glass. He also ran into his half-brother Jiang Su outside the door.

Jiang Su was caught, his neck stiffening like a fighting cock, ready to fight Jiang Nuo. "I just came to see Dad! What do you think? Only you can look, but not me? I'm also a son of the Jiang family!"

Jiang Nuo: “…”

He remembered that in his previous life, his father suddenly fell seriously ill. When he was conscious, he only met Jiang Nuo and entrusted the company to him. He also transferred the equity in writing. This made Jiang Su and his mother very uneasy. They always felt that their eldest brother had secretly occupied their property. Even though Jiang Nuo later returned the trusteeship property to Jiang Su according to his father's instructions when Jiang Su came of age.

Unfortunately, the mother and son had no business acumen. They sold their shares due to investment failures a few years later, which made Jiang Nuo look down on them even more. However, the two brothers fought for nearly ten years. When Jiang Nuo was finally plotted against by Ding Pingzhou, the younger brother whom he had always looked down upon stood up for him and beat up the Ding man severely. No matter whether he was standing up for him or for the Jiang family, the saying "blood is thicker than water" still made sense.

Later, Jiang Su came to the door awkwardly and said stiffly that he could take Jiang Nuo in.

However, Jiang Nuo was suddenly reborn, but he did not really enjoy his brother's kindness.

"Why aren't you talking? Are you feeling guilty?" Jiang Su interrupted his recollections.

"Nothing, it's only natural for you to come see Dad," Jiang Nuo said, patting Jiang Su's shoulder. The 15-year-old boy was developing well and was almost as tall as Jiang Su. "You sneaked out, didn't you? Go back to school after you're done, don't miss classes. I'll have the driver take you."

I remember that this year, the school could still blatantly organize holiday make-up classes.

Jiang Su: “?”

What was wrong with his brother? Shouldn't he have had a huge fight? His fragile brother, four years his senior, had always been unable to beat him since childhood, and he was particularly cunning. Whenever he couldn't beat him, he would complain to their father, resulting in their frequent punishments... Then, as he grew older, he became even more mean-spirited, verbally attacking him at every opportunity. Why was he suddenly showing concern for him today?

"Don't be so hypocritical! I won't ride in your car." Jiang Su refused tactically.

Considering the kindness this kid had shown him in his previous life, Jiang Nuo said patiently, "The hospital is 20 kilometers away from your school, and it's hard to get a taxi here."

"Then I'll take the bus back!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Nuo was really angry and didn't allow any refusal, "Let Lao Liu come up to pick you up now."

Lao Liu was Mr. Jiang’s driver, and now he has inherited the business to Jiang Nuo.

If it were any other time, Jiang Su would have definitely retorted, "Why can't people sit on the bus anymore?" and criticized his brother for his extravagant and dissolute behavior, but today, he couldn't bring himself to say anything.

Firstly, Jiang Nuo was nice to him for the first time today, and secondly, this brother who had just become an adult was like a mature adult today, and there was an inexplicable aura of him that could not be refused.

Jiang Su was holding his breath and said with his neck stiff: "...What about you? I don't want to ride in the same car with you." Yanlin No. 1 Middle School and the company are in two different directions.

"I have something to do this afternoon, so I'll be taking someone else's car," Jiang Nuo said. "By the way, Dad has already arranged your share of the shares, but he's just asked me to keep it for safekeeping. Dad means to give it to you when you turn eighteen... But if you're in a hurry, I'll make the decision to hand it over early. Think it over carefully and give me your answer before next Monday so I can arrange for a lawyer to notarize it."

Jiang Su once suspected that he was hallucinating. His mother had been making a fuss for a long time, but Jiang Nuo refused to give in. Why did he suddenly agree?

"Is this true?" By the time Jiang Su realized what was happening, his brother had already walked away. At the end of the corridor, he waved with his back to him. Jiang Nuo's figure was somewhere between a young man and a teenager, thin and slender, and his waving gesture was quite calm.

.

Jiang Nuo said he had something to do in the afternoon, and it was not an excuse. According to the time, Lao Jiang had been lying in the ICU for a month and had been unconscious, and he had taken over Jiang's for nearly two months.

The stories that happened in the past two months were more exciting than those in the past year. It was nothing more than the old employees not accepting the management, and several senior executives who had followed Mr. Jiang to build the world wanted to take the opportunity to change the situation. The middle-level managers and small shareholders all followed their teams... Some people were fighting against the old executives, and naturally some people were fighting against the new boss.

The most active member of the new boss Jiang Nuo's faction is Li Qing.

Li Qing, Jiang Nuo and Ding Pingzhou are all childhood friends. Unlike the Jiang and Ding families, the Li family does not engage in legitimate business and has close relationships with the local tyrants in Yanlin. However, they hope that their children can make a clean living, so they sent Li Qing to a fake university abroad to gain experience. After returning, Li Qing used his relationship with Jiang Nuo to get a position in the Jiang family. Later, after Jiang Nuo was parachuted into the position of chairman, his career continued to rise.

It's a pity that Jiang Nuo has raised an ungrateful person after so many years.

Not to mention that Li Qing later colluded with Ding Pingzhou and lost Jiang Nuo's equity, just say that during this period of time, he caused a lot of trouble for Jiang Nuo.

This year, p2p projects were very popular, and Jiang also invested a small amount in a lending platform. However, private platforms are not as credible as banks. If they want to attract customers, they can only raise interest rates and relax loan conditions, just like the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States. This is a huge hidden danger.

Sure enough, there were already signs of a crisis this year, with many people defaulting on their debts.

Some professional deadbeats are well aware of legal loopholes. Although they are rich, they have no executable property under their names. Moreover, even the relevant clauses to restrict deadbeats are not perfect this year. If you go through normal channels, there is no way to deal with them.

Li Qing, who was in charge of this project, went so far as to secretly hire thugs to collect the debt in order to avoid embarrassing the quarterly financial statements. This made even the most reasonable thing to do seem unreasonable.

As expected, the company veterans later made a fuss about this matter, which made Jiang Nuo very anxious for a while.

Calculating the time, now is the time for Li Qing to start taking action.

.

A Range Rover stopped in front of the hospital. Li Qing was sitting in the driver's seat. He stretched out a cigarette from the window and flicked the ash directly onto the ground. When he saw Jiang Nuo, he waved the hand holding the cigarette, "Xiao Nuo! Over here!"

Jiang Nuo frowned and stood by the car without moving.

Li Qing understood and quickly put out his cigarette. He then opened all four windows and turned up the air conditioning to the maximum to dissipate the odor. Two minutes later, he got out of the car himself, opened the passenger door for Jiang Nuo, and said with a smile, "Master, is this all right now?"

Jiang Nuo did not sit in the passenger seat, but opened the back door.

This is treating Li Qing as a driver.

Li Qing was stunned, but didn't care - this young master was notoriously spoiled and picky, and he might just be dissatisfied with the smell in the car.

Li Qing was afraid that Young Master Jiang would get too hot, so he closed all the windows and turned on the air conditioning before asking, "Why did you suddenly call me over? You haven't told me where you're going yet?"

Jiang Nuo reported a place name.

Li Qing's enthusiasm suddenly froze on his face. After a moment, he laughed dryly, "What are you going there for? You never go to places like that. Aren't you allergic to shanty towns, Xiao Nuo?"

"Go take a look at your project." Jiang Nuo curled his lips and said calmly.

Among their group of childhood friends, Jiang Nuo is the best looking and the youngest. His smile is very endearing, like a ball of sweet marshmallow. He can easily get candies from the elders that others can't get. That's why older kids like Li Qing and Ding Pingzhou are willing to play with Jiang Nuo, the little follower.

But now, Li Qing felt a chill down his spine because of Jiang Nuo's laughter. It seemed that the little marshmallow had grown up and was no longer easy to fool.

No conversation along the way.

The Land Rover stopped at the side of the road at the entrance of the alley, and Jiang Nuo and Li Qing walked in side by side.

The further they walked, the paler Li Qing's face became, and the gloomier Jiang Nuo's face became.

He selected this place based on his memories of his previous life and the addresses of several deadbeats. He originally wanted to give Li Qing a warning before he took action, but he didn't expect that he would take action so early - the sound of fighting could be heard in the alley, and the voices were quite loud. It should be a group fight, and even he could hear it at the entrance of the alley.

It was such a big fuss, no wonder it was so hard to calm down! Is Li Qing a pig-brained person?

Jiang Nuo didn't really want to watch the fight. His purpose was just to scare Li Qing into restraining himself. Who could have imagined that he would catch him in the act? Hearing the sounds of the fight getting closer, Jiang Nuo was tempted to back off.

However, Li Qing probably wanted to atone for his sins, so he quickened his pace. "Oh, how come these idiots are making such a big fuss? ... Don't worry, Xiao Nuo, I'll go stop them right away!"

“…” Jiang Nuo thought about it and decided to follow.

Young Master Jiang lived a life of luxury throughout his two lives, rarely going into the alleys, let alone witnessing a gang fight.

The temperature in the afternoon was at least 30℃. There were about a dozen or so men with bare chests, tattoos on their arms, and holding steel pipes. The scorching air was filled with the scent of boiling hormones.

The most eye-catching person here is the only teenager without tattoos. He is wearing a baseball cap and his face cannot be seen clearly, but he is very tall, with agile and fierce skills, which is quite eye-catching. His muscular forearms can knock other people's steel pipes away, and his fists can make a deep hole in the iron old scooter.

Jiang Nuo watched helplessly as he fought ten people at once, beating them up without a fight. A lively fight was quickly brought to an end by this man's absolute strength.

No matter whether he is an enemy or a friend, Jiang Nuo is happy in his heart - at this point, he just hopes that the matter will not get out of hand!

However, two men suddenly rushed out from a house on the side, one holding a pair of scissors, and both rushed towards the tall boy's navel!

Holy crap!!

If blood were to seep into the air, the nature of the situation would be completely different!

Jiang Nuo almost didn't think twice before shouting, "Stop! I'm calling the police!"

"Come back! Don't get so close!" Li Qing said at the same time! If Young Master Jiang got hurt, he would be in big trouble.

Hearing "Call the police", both men looked over nervously. While they were stunned, the tall boy snatched a pair of scissors, but the other man reacted and went all out, stabbing the boy fiercely!

"Xiao Nuo, be careful!" Li Qing rushed over at this time.

Jiang Nuo was just looking for a handy weapon to throw over, but seeing this, he snatched Li Qing's cell phone and smashed it at him!

He even announced the name of the weapon: "Watch this! The first generation fruit machine! Worth seven thousand yuan!"
