Chapter 84 You Were Really Using Him
"How can a designer who can't even produce a portfolio hold an important position in the company?"
"How long can a designer who steals other people's work survive? Once exposed, it will cause irreparable damage to the company."
“Grandpa Li, you’ve watched the Jiang family grow up. You can’t just stand by and let Lu Wenchang and his daughter ruin its reputation, can you?”
Mr. Li tossed the documents back onto the table. Looking at the young girl in front of him, he could feel the tenacity and the power that was about to be unleashed in her.
What do you want to do?
Jiang Yimian's lips curled up. "I hope to have your support so that I can join the Jiang family business."
Master Li held a walnut in his hand. The walnut was dark in color, and it made a clear, resonant sound, like solid jade. "Is that all?"
"I won't trouble you with anything else, Grandpa Li. I won't let you down. Don't forget that I have Bo Jinzhou behind me. If you don't trust me, you should trust him."
Master Li's brows relaxed: "Alright, I'll trust you this once."
As they left the Li family's old house, Master Zhang looked at Jiang Yimian in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
"Madam, why did you only make this one request when you had such a good opportunity? With your strength and President Bo's power, it's not impossible for Mr. Li to help you seize the Jiang Group."
Jiang Yimian took off her scarf, feeling much easier to breathe. "Master Zhang, Lu Wenchang has been with Jiang's for over a decade, and his abilities have long been recognized by everyone. Lu Wenchang's people are also deeply rooted in Jiang's. The benefits he brings to Jiang's are something the board of directors doesn't want to give up."
"Even if Lu Wenchang made a mistake, all we need to do is get rid of Lu Yiwan. Do you think it's possible to bring down Lu Wenchang and support a young girl in her early twenties? Only when they see and know the crimes Lu Wenchang has committed will they abandon the pawn to save the king."
“I know exactly what kind of people these old men are. To harm their interests is to go against them. They look down on me, but they look up to Bo Jinzhou. With Bo Jinzhou around, I have a powerful resource background. It’s not difficult to get into the Jiang family, but Lu Wenchang has countless reasons to prevent me from getting in, and countless ways to delay my entry into the Jiang family.”
"To successfully enter the Jiang family, I need the most influential person on the board of directors to vouch for me, so that Lu Wenchang will have no reason to say anything."
Master Zhang immediately understood. He looked at Jiang Yimian with admiration, realizing that she was very shrewd despite her young age.
Jiang Yimian was originally going to visit three families, but Master Li had already given instructions that she wouldn't need to go to the other two.
She had arranged to have dinner with Chu Yao. As soon as she got out of the car at Chunfeng Tower and stepped onto the stairs in her high heels, a figure rushed over and grabbed her wrist.
Jiang Yimian subconsciously tightened her arm strength to avoid being dragged and staggering.
Looking over with cold eyes, Lu Yiwan's face was full of anger. Master Zhang quickly stepped forward and warned in a deep voice, "Miss Lu, if you hurt Madam, President Bo will not let you off."
Hearing this, Lu Yiwan's jealousy intensified, and she glared fiercely at Master Zhang, "Who do you think you are, daring to order me around?"
Jiang Yimian forcefully shook her off, her voice deepening: "If Lu Yiwan wants to throw a tantrum, go home and do it."
"Jiang Yimian, what are you so smug about? You don't actually think you've beaten me, do you?"
She suddenly sneered, her voice sharp and sarcastic, making Jiang Yimian's ears hurt.
Jiang Yimian didn't want to talk to her anymore and walked towards the restaurant. Lu Yiwan stepped forward to stop her and ordered, "Jiang Yimian, divorce A Jin."
Jiang Yimian lifted her eyelids and looked at her with the same gaze she would give someone mentally challenged. "Are you a conductor? You're such a good conductor."
Lu Yiwan gritted her teeth, "Ah Jin is just angry with me. You don't actually think he likes you, do you?"
Mr. Zhang stepped forward and stopped her, saying, "Miss Lu, please have some self-respect."
Jiang Yimian continued walking inside, and Lu Yiwan became anxious, "The first time I was cyberbullied was because of you, how could you be so vicious?"
"But it's okay, Ah Jin helped me settle everything. Someone wanted to investigate my affairs in the United States, but Ah Jin used his connections in the United States to cover it up for me. None of the many scandals exposed my academic qualifications and thesis fraud. You think my father helped me solve it, but in the United States, only Ah Jin has such great power. He has been helping me all along. The more you try to bring me down, the less likely you are to succeed."
Jiang Yimian stopped in her tracks, her hand holding the bag tightening until it trembled. The cold wind was biting, and only three people were standing outside the restaurant. The words they had spoken entered her ears with the cold wind, stinging her ears.
Jiang Yimian turned around, her eyes filled with a sinister coldness. "So what? I helped, that's all," she said, walking closer step by step. "He's just a man, does it really matter whether he likes you or not?"
Jiang Yimian looked down at her, leaned down slightly and whispered in her ear in a voice only the two of them could hear: "As long as he can help me kill your whole family, that's enough."
Lu Yiwan's pupils widened suddenly, and her voice was shrill: "You really were using A Jin, I'm going to report you."
Jiang Yimian looked completely innocent. "Sister, what are you talking about? What do you mean by 'use'? My husband's resources are mine, so why not use them?"
Her smile was so dazzling that it provoked Lu Yiwan to step forward and try to scratch her face. Jiang Yimian quickly took a step back, and Master Zhang restrained Lu Yiwan.
Jiang Yimian smiled, her red lips curving like a rose with deadly poison. Her appearance was bright and dazzling, but a light touch would wound one with the thorns that were naturally attached to her, poisoning one to the bone.
She turned and walked into the restaurant. Chu Yao happened to come down and saw her. He frowned when he saw the bloodshot eyes and her dazed expression: "What's wrong, Xiao Mianmian?"
Chu Yao's red hair was quite alluring, and his pink suit was incredibly flashy. He swayed over and took her arm, asking, "Who bullied you?"
Jiang Yimian closed her eyes and shook her head. "Let's eat. I'm hungry."
Jiang Yimian ate the meal absentmindedly, saying nothing, leaving Chu Yao anxious.
She arrived at the Grand Theatre early in the afternoon, watching Tan Yusu practice backstage, her thoughts drifting far away.
During a break, Tan Yusu came to find her, "Mianmian, what's wrong?"
Jiang Yimian shook her head, "Su Su, you look so beautiful today."
Tan Yusu smiled and said, "I haven't put on makeup yet. I'll look even better with makeup on."
Someone called out to Tan Yusu, and Tan Yusu replied, "I'm going to rehearse now. If you're bored, go for a walk."
Jiang Yimian nodded and walked out. There was a row of plane trees outside the Grand Theater. In winter, the plane trees were covered with a layer of silver, looking cold and aloof.
She lowered her head and stood there for a long time, wiping away the tears in her eyes, her anger burning even more intensely.
At 5 p.m., ticket checking had already begun. Although there weren't that many people coming to see the show, the seats were already more than half full.
The dance performance had already started, but the empty seat next to me remained unoccupied.
Jiang Yimian was a little anxious. Then, the whole room went dark for about four or five seconds. Jiang Yimian felt someone sit down next to her. When the lights came back on, she turned her head and saw that there was another person next to her.
Jiang Yimian finally saw his true face.
