Chapter 127 A Rebellion Is Inevitable

After interrogation, Wang Hu was formally arrested with the approval of the procuratorate on suspicion of multiple crimes and involving a huge sum of money.

On the day he was detained in the detention center, Chen Qishan called Chen Jingyang and said, "Come home for dinner tonight!"

Chen Jingyang paused for a second: "I have plans tonight..."

"Reject it!" The old man's tone was as firm as ever, leaving Chen Jingyang no room for explanation, and he hung up the phone after saying that.

"Damn it!" Chen Jingyang cursed under his breath, but he could only helplessly tell Pengfei.

"Baby." The voice was low and muffled, and Zhang Pengfei immediately sensed something was wrong: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Chen Jingyang said, slightly annoyed, as he ran his fingers through his hair before quickly composed himself. "Is your class over?"

"It's over. I'm on my way home now."

Did your classes go well today?

"It went very smoothly!" Zhang Pengfei's voice was a little excited: "In today's PT class, I jumped rope five times in a row on one foot."

"That's amazing!" Chen Jingyang praised him generously, "Kiss! Mwah!"

When are you coming back? Are you working overtime today?

Chen Jingyang sighed almost imperceptibly, "I won't be home for dinner tonight, I have to go back..."

He paused for a moment, then said, "If you're sleepy tonight, go to sleep first. Don't wait for me. I... will try my best to get back."

Nothing good ever comes of it when I go back, especially today, which is Chen Qinian's routine reporting day, and he'll inevitably mention Wang Hu.

However, he wasn't afraid, because no matter what, the whistleblower letter wouldn't be traced back to him.

Furthermore, Wang Hu's actions also harmed the Chen family's interests, so Chen Qinian should have kept quiet.

However, Chen Qishan's thoughts are always unpredictable, and in order to appease Chen Qinian, he might give some explanation.

But he wasn't sure what this "explanation" would actually be. It was quite possible that he would have to kneel in the study for another night, so he didn't dare tell Zhang Pengfei that he would definitely come back, for fear that Zhang Pengfei would keep waiting for him.

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I'll go to bed on time."

Chen Jingyang was still worried: "Call me if anything happens. My phone will always be on."

"Um."

He added, "Just in case, I mean just in case, if I don't answer the phone, call Lin Zheyan, understand?"

Zhang Pengfei was silent for a moment, then asked him, "Are you in some kind of trouble?"

"No! No!" Chen Jingyang quickly denied, "Don't overthink it, I'm just going back to check on things. I might be back around 10 o'clock. Anyway, just relax and get some sleep. I'll definitely be able to take you to the rehabilitation center first thing tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Zhang Pengfei replied, "If you have something to do, Sister Li can come with me tomorrow, it's the same."

He paused for a moment, then comforted Chen Jingyang: "I can take care of myself now. You can focus on your own affairs and don't worry about me."

Just as the two finished their call, Lin Zheyan pushed open the door and came in, looking rather grim: "Manager Fan just called and said that it seems the company has received an order from Mingjie, and asked what's going on."

Chen Jingyang frowned: "We can't accept Mingjie's order. Didn't we already say that? Who accepted it?"

"It looks like the order was signed by CEO Chen himself!"

A sharp glint flashed across Chen Jingyang's face: "How many have you taken? Who has the contracts?"

"I'm not sure, the contract should be with the legal department."

Chen Jingyang immediately called Guo Wei, the director of the legal department, and asked him to bring the contract up.

Guo Wei handed the contract to Chen Jingyang and said, "Mr. Chen, the contract is completely compliant, and all fees are 100% prepaid, so there is no risk for us at all."

Chen Jingyang raised his eyelids and glanced at him: "How do you know there's absolutely no risk? Doesn't the legal department know very well what kind of company Mingjie is?"

Guo Wei smiled and said, "Mingjie's reputation is indeed not good, which is why we asked them to make 100% prepayment."

Chen Jingyang pointed at the contract, his face darkening, and said, "The upper limit for data security liability is actually 10 times the total contract amount. How dare your legal department approve such a contract?!"

Guo Wei shrugged: "Mr. Chen, look at the purchase price. It's twice that of a regular customer. Moreover, this contract was approved by Mr. Chen himself. He believes that we don't have any data security issues, so from a legal perspective, this contract is risk-free."

Chen Jingyang slowly stood up. He was tall, and when he stood there staring at someone, he exuded a powerful aura of pressure: "He says he won't store it just because there are no data security issues? What does he know?! Why wasn't this contract submitted to me for review before it was signed?! Have you forgotten that I am the legal representative?!"

Guo Wei, being one of Chen Qinian's men, had anticipated Chen Jingyang's challenge and remained calm: "Mr. Chen has your authorization and the right to sign this contract."

"Ha!" Chen Jingyang sneered, "Fine! Then please tell me, how do I revoke my authorization to Chen Qinian?"

"You submit an application, which will be reviewed by the board of directors to assess the rationality and legality of revoking the authorization. Once approved, it can be revoked."

Half of the board members are Chen Qinian's people, but a resolution requires the approval of at least two-thirds of the members. In other words, he can't even revoke the authorization if he wants to!

Chen Jingyang was seething with anger, but had nowhere to vent it. In the end, he could only grit his teeth in frustration and laugh self-deprecatingly, "Fine! Get out!"

Lin Zheyan advised him, "What's done is done, getting angry won't help, you should think about what to do next."

Chen Jingyang glanced at the sky outside the window; the last rays of the setting sun had been completely swallowed up. "He told me to go back tonight, and Chen Qinian will definitely be there too."

Lin Zheyan was a little worried: "I'll go back with you. With me there, the old man will have to give you some face."

"No need." Chen Jingyang lit a cigarette and exhaled a puff of white smoke. "The project with Zenti is at a critical stage. He can't do anything to me. Chen Qinian bears an unshirkable responsibility for what Wang Hu did. It's still uncertain who will emerge victorious!"

Lin Zheyan still advised him, "Then be nicer when you go back."

Chen Jingyang snorted and laughed, "Do you think this is a matter of whether my attitude is good or bad? Don't worry, I know what to do."

He knew Chen Qishan's purpose all along!

On the surface, he has the final decision-making power, but in reality, Chen Qinian has management power and financial approval power.

Chen Jingyang can make decisions, but without Chen Qinian's cooperation, none of his decisions can be implemented, thus forming a perfect balance of power.

In addition, by nominally granting Chen Jingyang sufficient authorization and trust, the potential risks of the project can be largely isolated within Chen Jingyang and the Tanzhi entity, without directly impacting the core assets of the Chen family.

As the "guardian" and the person primarily responsible for the front line, if Chen Jingyang succeeds, it depends on how Chen Qishan, the "emperor," rewards him; if he fails, he will have to pay with his head!

Who is Chen Jingyang? Would he be willing to risk his life for someone else?

Therefore, he will definitely rebel!
