Chapter 186 I'm Here to Join You
Han Xu looked at Jiang Shiyuan's beautiful eyes, which were filled with anger, and hesitated.
"Madam, Mr. Xie, he..."
"The news was leaked by KSC, a TV station controlled by the Xie family, which already makes me very suspicious. Moreover, Yongheng Technology is just a small, declining company in Beijing, even on the verge of bankruptcy. It is usually ignored by everyone. How could a piece of negative news attract the attention of KSC, one of the three major TV stations in China?"
Jiang Shiyuan curled her lips into a cold laugh, "Who else but your CEO Xie could give the Jiang family such great respect?!"
"Madam, please calm down."
Han Xu could only bite the bullet and explain, "The person who made KSC leak the news was indeed President Xie... but President Xie did it for your sake."
After saying that, he wanted to slap himself, feeling ashamed for the president and indignant for his wife.
However, he was just an employee, with little influence, and he had no choice but to obediently do as he was told.
"For me?"
Jiang Shiyuan's eyes reddened. "He knows that Eternal Technology is the last thing my mother left me in this world, something I'm willing to protect at any cost. Just because I filed for divorce, challenging his authority, he's going to retaliate against me so severely. To seize Eternal's lifeline is to strangle me. Destroying Eternal is the same as destroying me. It's a damn effective tactic!"
Despite her good upbringing, she was so enraged that she cursed, "If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too! If the managers are all such despicable people, it's no wonder that the Xie family has such wicked and vicious scoundrels as Wu Hui and his wife!"
You can scold me, you can scold me!
Han Xu couldn't help but want to give his wife a good scolding, but it was no use!
“Madam, Mr. Xie is really at his wit’s end. He genuinely doesn’t want to divorce you, but you’ve cut off all contact with him and refuse to go back. He has no choice but to resort to this tactic to get you back to his side.”
Han Xu gently persuaded, "Madam, you and Mr. Xie already have a child. The young master can't be without his mother. Besides, during your absence, he hasn't been eating or sleeping well, and he can't concentrate in class. He really misses you, but children aren't good at expressing themselves..."
Jiang Shiyuan remained indifferent and unmoved: "It's impossible that he can't eat or sleep well. Even when I'm not around, his Aunt Xinxin will still pamper him and take care of him meticulously. As for his lack of concentration in class, it's probably because he played games with his Aunt Xinxin too late the night before."
Han Xu choked for a moment, then continued, "No matter what, Madam, Mr. Xie and the young master can't live without you..."
"It's not that they can't live without me, but that they can't get used to losing a loving and caring old woman who takes meticulous care of them 24 hours a day."
Jiang Shiyuan laughed with a mix of sarcasm and self-deprecation, “It’s okay. It only takes 21 days for a person to form a habit. More than two months have passed now, and they’ve already gotten used to it.”
“Madam, as long as you can go back, I guarantee that all the difficulties Yongheng is currently facing can be resolved, including compensation of hundreds of millions.”
"What? A compensation of hundreds of millions?" Jiang Shiyuan's pupils suddenly contracted.
Han Xu was surprised that his wife was unaware of the situation. After racking his brains, he decided to pin the blame on Lin Zhixin. "Madam, it's like this... That day, Chairman Jiang came to Xie's Group to sign the patent transfer contract with President Xie. They were about to sign when Miss Lin suddenly barged in and said she wanted to add a clause. If Yongheng Technology goes bankrupt, then they will have to compensate Xie's Group at four times the price to make up for the losses suffered by Xie's Group."
I admit that Mr. Xie didn't stop it at the time, but the one who started all of this was Lin Zhixin. If it weren't for that last-minute addition, Yongheng's situation wouldn't be so difficult.
Seeing Jiang Shiyuan's face grow increasingly pale, Han Xu felt so embarrassed he was practically bursting with embarrassment. "Madam," he said, "I admit that President Xie shouldn't have let Lin Zhixin act so recklessly, but... President Xie wasn't the one who started this whole thing. I also hope you can forgive President Xie..."
"Hasn't he always let Lin Zhixin do whatever she wants? Hasn't that been the case for the past five years?"
Jiang Shiyuan took a step back, a crimson glint in her eyes, and said, word by word, "Go back and tell Xie Jinghuai to let him and Lin Zhixin use whatever tricks they have up their sleeves. I, Jiang Shiyuan, will stand with Yongheng through thick and thin, and fight to the bitter end!"
...
Han Xu didn't come alone this time; he brought along people from the Xie Group's legal department.
He went to the office to see Jiang Yongxiao, while Jiang Shiyuan waited outside the door.
During this time, she heard the sounds of impotent rage and smashing things, as well as furious roars, coming from inside, as if the door in front of her led not to an office, but to a gladiatorial arena.
A gladiatorial arena where the victor takes all.
Jiang Shiyuan closed her eyes, her expression serene.
Actually, if you look at it from another angle—
Without destruction, there can be no construction; great destruction leads to great construction.
If Jiang Yongxiao hadn't caused such a scandal, she wouldn't have been able to quickly enter the Eternal Core, but now, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Not long after, Han Xu led his men out expressionlessly. The Xie family's people exuded a strong sense of oppression, making people feel intimidated.
This only makes Eternity seem like a small, insignificant workshop.
After Han Xu left, Jiang Shiyuan pushed the door open and entered without even knocking.
However, in the office, Jiang Yongxiao, who should have been overwhelmed with work, actually had the leisure to sit on the sofa with his legs crossed, smoking a cigar.
"Ah Yuan? What brings you here?" Jiang Yongxiao looked at her as if she were an uninvited guest, which made him even more irritated, and his attitude became less pleasant.
Commonly known as, they're too lazy to even pretend.
"Uncle is in high spirits."
Jiang Shiyuan stopped being polite and sat down opposite him with a half-smile, the two of them facing each other. "There are so many reporters outside the door, like workers demanding their wages. The online public opinion is fermenting like a pickled cabbage jar that hasn't been cleaned in ten thousand years. You might even be summoned by the police. You still have the mood to smoke Gao Xiba. You have a really good mentality."
This is blatant mockery.
Jiang Yongxiao was so angry he almost ground his teeth to powder, and coughed from the smoke.
"Ah Yuan, are you here to kick me when I'm down, or to laugh at your uncle?"
“Uncle, it wasn’t me who kicked him when he was down, it was Xie Jinghuai and Lin Zhixin. If you have any complaints, you should take them out on them.”
Jiang Shiyuan acted as if she were in her own living room, even pouring herself a glass of water and taking a sip. "If you want to kill Xie Jinghuai, not only can I lure him out, but I can also hand you the knife."
“I don’t have time to waste with your nonsense right now. If you have something to say, just say it. If not, then leave.” Jiang Yongxiao had lost patience with his younger sister’s only daughter.
Jiang Shiyuan's tone was neither too light nor too heavy, "Now that things have come to this, Uncle, are you still not planning to let me join the management team of Eternal?"
Jiang Yongxiao could barely contain his anger. "Ha, I see now, you're here to take advantage of the situation."
"How can you say we're taking advantage of someone's misfortune when it's our own business?"
Jiang Shiyuan smiled slightly, "I'm here to join you."
Jiang Yongxiao finally lost his temper, slammed his fist on the table and stood up, "Niece, you are, after all, Ayu's only daughter in this world. As relatives, I will speak frankly to you."
If you want to make a living, I can give you a leisurely job, but if you're thinking about permanent management rights, forget about it! I will absolutely not relinquish management rights to you!
"Let him go? It seems Uncle also feels that he's not in a good position as chairman, and that he's not comfortable in it."
"you--!"
"Moreover, as far as I know, Uncle, you signed a contract with the Xie family for four times the compensation, which is over 100 million yuan in breach of contract fees. Can you come up with that?"
Jiang Shiyuan's gaze was sharp as a knife. "At that time, Eternal will face bankruptcy and liquidation. Do you think there will be any point in you being the chairman then?"
Jiang Yongxiao's face turned red as he slowly sat back on the sofa, scrutinizing the girl he had watched grow up.
Before we knew it, she had grown into a beautiful young woman, not only beautiful but also ambitious!
"Uncle, let's make some terms."
Jiang Shiyuan's expression turned solemn. "As long as you let me be the president of Eternal, I can go back and have Jing Huai delete the compensation clause in the contract."
"Pfft, you?"
Jiang Yongxiao narrowed his cunning eyes. "Niece, tell your uncle the truth, isn't your relationship with Xie Jinghuai already dead in name only?"
Jiang Shiyuan's face remained unchanged, but he was already struggling to breathe.
"That girl from the Lin family, isn't she Xie Jinghuai's lover? I had someone investigate. The two of them have been seen together in various places for the past five years, and they've been very close. Moreover, the girl from the Lin family and your mother-in-law are as close as mother and daughter. How much weight do you still carry in the Xie family, in Xie Jinghuai's heart? His heart has long since left you, hasn't it? Or perhaps he never even looked at you from the beginning?"
As he spoke, even Jiang Yongxiao's gaze towards her couldn't hide his disdain. "That's right, your personality is just as unlikable as your mother's. You don't care about your appearance, and unlike the Lin family girls who spent their lives abroad, you can't find common ground. If I were Xie Jinghuai, I would also like Lin Zhixin. It's only human nature."
This is clearly an insult.
However, Jiang Shiyuan remained calm and composed, simply staring at him, making his scalp tingle.
"So, when you say you have the ability to change Xie Jinghuai's mind, that's probably just bragging. I don't believe you have that ability."
Jiang Shiyuan's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she secretly clenched her ten fingers.
Indeed, she had no confidence at all.
But right now, she has to fool Jiang Yongxiao and get the CEO position.
"A day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness, and we have a son together. Moreover, I have a very good relationship with the old lady of the Xie family. He will change his mind."
"Hmph, if he really cared about these things, he wouldn't have listened to that little vixen from the Lin family in the first place."
Jiang Yongxiao looked at Jiang Shiyuan and felt that she was just as spineless as her mother. He was furious. "In the past five years, Yongheng has encountered more than just this one difficulty. You are Xie Jinghuai's wife, but has he ever lent a helping hand for your sake?! He has never taken you seriously at all!"
Jiang Shiyuan slightly furrowed her brows.
Her uncle's words were truly insightful.
Xie Jinghuai's heart cannot be warmed.
He never showed her any mercy during their marriage, let alone now that they've signed the divorce papers. It's already a miracle he hasn't gone all the way.
"Hey, A-Yuan, since you're so confident, go back and talk to Xie Jinghuai. If he's willing to reconcile, I'll make you the CEO!" Jiang Yongxiao said in a businesslike manner, but inwardly he was sneer.
Once he has squeezed out the last bit of value from Eternity, he will immediately cash out his shares and then throw this hot potato far away!
At that time, she'll not only be the president, but the chairman's seat will be given to her!
He thought it was a hot commodity, and after finally getting his hands on it, it turned out to be a pile of junk. He's had enough of it already!
Jiang Shiyuan didn't say anything more to him and was about to leave when Secretary Zhang rushed in in a panic:
"Chairman Jiang, something terrible has happened! The police have arrived and want to take you to the police station for questioning!"
Jiang Yongxiao covered his face with his hands, and everything went black.
...
As Jiang Shiyuan left the company, she felt as if a huge rock was pressing on her chest, heavy and suffocating.
Is there really no other way but to talk to Xie Jinghuai?
Suddenly, my phone rang.
She picked up her phone, her mind unsettled. The name Xie Jinghuai on the screen was glaringly obvious.
She took a few deep breaths and chose to answer:
"Come to the Xie's Hotel tonight, let's meet. I think with so much happening in one day, you must have something you want to say to me."
Xie Jinghuai's tone was indifferent, yet it revealed an arrogant air of someone who had planned everything.
"Okay." Jiang Shiyuan didn't say anything more and hung up.
She left in a hurry, unaware that a familiar Maybach had quietly stopped across the street.
