Chapter 207 Joining Hands to Create the Future
The coffee shop opposite Yongheng Technology.
Jiang Shiyuan let Ye Yu go back first, and then had a small gathering with her former colleagues and girlfriends who had fought side by side with her at the coffee shop.
"Sister Shi Yuan! I never expected to see you here!" Yin Meng held her hand tightly, her eyes filled with tears of joy.
Jiang Shiyuan smiled gently, her eyes full of tenderness. "I never expected to see you here, Mengmeng. How have you been?"
Yin Meng choked up, but forced a smile. "I'm fine, Sister Shi Yuan. I'm doing well."
Jiang Shiyuan noticed that she had lost a lot of weight, her once round face was now sunken, and her complexion was somewhat haggard, indicating that she had not been doing well lately.
"Mengmeng, what are you doing at Eternal Technology?" Jiang Shiyuan asked curiously.
Yin Meng's eyelashes trembled, and she whispered, "Sister Shi Yuan, I'm here to look for a job."
"Looking for a job? You're a top student who graduated from a prestigious university and have experience working at the Xie Group, so why would you... come to Eternal to look for a job?"
Jiang Shiyuan didn't mean to belittle himself, but given Yongheng's current business situation, it was impossible to attract a top student like Yin Meng, who graduated from a prestigious university, to apply.
unless……
"Sister Shiyuan, now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore. I'm in Beijing now... and it's almost impossible to find a decent job that matches my major. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to Yongheng to try my luck."
Yin Meng lowered her head, her eyes quietly reddening. "It's a pity... even this place doesn't want me. If this continues, I think I'll only be able to do 'Lucky Three Treasures' and 'Ironman Triathlon'."
Jiang Shiyuan's heart tightened, her gaze turning somber. "Why is this happening? You're clearly so capable at work!"
Yin Meng finally couldn't hold back her tears and they streamed down her face. "Before I resigned, Lin Zhixin kept making things difficult for me and causing me trouble. In a fit of anger, I had a big fight with her and even threw my work ID at her."
That narrow-minded and vicious woman must have held a grudge all along. That's why she wouldn't let me off the hook after I left. She deliberately tried to ruin me. Every time I went for a job interview, they would look at my resume and immediately ridicule me, turning me away. They said I had offended the Xie Group president's darling, that I was a hopeless case, overestimating myself… My life was ruined.”
Jiang Shiyuan gasped sharply, her eyes gradually turning bloodshot.
She knew that Lin Zhixin was ostensibly making things difficult for Yin Meng, but secretly she was venting her resentment towards her on this innocent girl!
They are utterly despicable and filthy!
Yin Meng took the tissue Jiang Shiyuan handed her and blew her nose forcefully. "I've searched all the big and small companies in Beijing, but the others are afraid of Lin Zhixin and Xie Jinghuai's relationship and won't take me... Only Yongheng Technology is left."
"So? Has Eternal hired you?"
Yin Meng shook her head, tears welling in her eyes.
"Is Jiang Yongxiao also afraid that Lin Zhixin will cause trouble?"
Although Jiang Shiyuan had a grudge against Jiang Yongxiao and was dissatisfied with his character, the old man was well aware of Lin Zhixin's ways, and Lin Zhixin had previously tricked Yongheng, so he wouldn't show weakness in front of her.
"No..."
Yin Meng wiped away her tears and sniffed. "I applied for an administrative secretary position. Everything was going smoothly until the chairman rejected my application."
Later I found out that the person parachuted into the secretary position was the chairman's girlfriend, who replaced me.
"girlfriend?"
Jiang Shiyuan scoffed, then laughed in exasperation, "I think 'pairing up' would be a more fitting term."
Yin Meng was stunned. "Huh?"
Jiang Shiyuan said casually, "It's nothing."
"If it doesn't work out indefinitely, I'll have to go find a job in another city."
Yin Meng closed her eyes in despair, tears still streaming down her face. "But Beijing is my home, my mom, dad, and friends are all here... I really can't bear to leave everyone..."
Besides, even if I leave Beijing, will I really be able to find a job? The Xie family has businesses and projects all over the country; blocking someone like me with no connections would be as easy as crushing an ant.
Yin Meng became increasingly frightened as she thought about it, covering her head with her hands. "I think they're right, I really have been a dissolute person all my life!"
"No, no, don't cry, Mengmeng!"
Jiang Shiyuan quickly pulled out a tissue and gently wiped away the girl's tears like an older sister. "Mengmeng, let me ask you, if you could go back to Xie's Group or work at Yongheng Technology, which would you choose?"
"There's no such thing as a free lunch. That bastard Lin Zhixin hates me to death. She wants to tear me to pieces..."
Yin Meng shuddered and her eyes widened. "Sister Shi Yuan, you're not going to go find Xie Jinghuai... No, no! This is nothing to me! Please don't go to that scumbag Xie Jinghuai for my sake!"
Even if he agreed to let me return to the Xie family, I would never go back! That cutthroat world of fame and fortune, where I have to be beholden to that bitch Lin Zhixin, makes me sick to my stomach!
Jiang Shiyuan's almond-shaped eyes curved slightly, her heart warming. "So you mean, you've chosen Eternal Technology?"
"I don't have much to choose from now. I'm content as long as I have food to eat. If Yongheng is willing to take me, I will do my best to work hard."
"Okay, then I'm informing you now on this matter."
Jiang Shiyuan sat up straight and solemnly extended his right hand to her, "Congratulations, Ms. Yin, you have now been officially hired by Yongheng Technology. From now on, your position will be the president's assistant."
I hope we can join hands and create a lasting and beautiful future together.
Yin Meng instantly forgot to cry, staring incredulously at Jiang Shiyuan's beautiful face, "Sister Shiyuan, you...you are...the president of Eternal Technology?!"
Jiang Shiyuan smiled shyly, "Excuse me, it is I."
Yin Meng covered her mouth excitedly, almost crying again.
"Ms. Jiang Buyu, the founder of Yongheng Technology, is my mother. After my mother passed away, the company was handed over to my uncle, Jiang Yongxiao."
“I see… No wonder you disappeared for so long, Sister Shi Yuan, or rather, President Jiang.”
Jiang Shiyuan was both amused and exasperated. "From now on, please call me Sister Shiyuan in private. Otherwise, it sounds too bureaucratic."
Yin Meng is a straightforward person and doesn't hold back anymore.
As they talked, Jiang Shiyuan got hungry and ordered a table full of food, including pasta, pizza, and salad. The young girl put aside her reserve and ate voraciously.
Jiang Shiyuan saw this and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
It looks like the little girl hasn't eaten anything all day.
She also said that the Xie Group was rotten to the core, and that Yongheng was just as bad!
"Sister Shiyuan, you chose me. Will Chairman Jiang be unhappy if he finds out? Will this create a rift between you two?" Yin Meng asked worriedly.
Jiang Shiyuan's eyes were cold. "Don't worry, even without you, there's still the East African Rift Valley between him and me. It's hopeless."
Upon hearing this, Yin Meng froze, her cheeks puffing out like a cute little hamster.
"I'll tell you about the eternal situation when I have time."
Jiang Shiyuan said gently, "Go home first, take a good shower, and get some sleep. Just wait for my news when you can officially start work."
As I left the coffee shop, dusk was falling and the sunset was breathtaking.
Both girls were in high spirits. After saying goodbye to each other, Jiang Shiyuan prepared to call a car to go home.
Just then, my phone vibrated; it was Xie Wenshen calling.
"Is there something you need?" Jiang Shiyuan answered the phone, her voice as cold as ice.
"Come to the hospital, Grandma wants to see you." Xie Jinghuai's voice was utterly devoid of warmth.
It seems that no matter how much pain Jiang Shiyuan had experienced, no matter how much she had sacrificed for him, he was always as indifferent to her as an iceberg, like a god who would never be moved by worldly desires.
Jiang Shiyuan asked instinctively, "Now?"
"Heh, what's wrong? You've been wandering around outside for too long, your heart has become wild, and you don't even care about your grandma anymore?"
Xie Jinghuai scoffed, "Before, whenever Grandma called you, you wouldn't ask a single question and would immediately go to see her. What's wrong now? Are you too tired to deal with it, or are you too lazy to even pretend anymore?"
Jiang Shiyuan is usually quite emotionally stable, but at this moment she was really provoked by that jerk, and she also felt a sense of powerlessness that she couldn't immediately slap him.
She retorted, "I only asked one question, and you rattled off a whole bunch of nonsense, like you have an anal fistula."
Xie Jinghuai growled in a cold voice, "Jiang Shiyuan—! You!"
Jiang Shiyuan laughed, "Such a foul mouth, did President Xie drink red wine and use an enema for dinner?"
Xie Jinghuai, on the other side, was so angry that he could hardly breathe. He clenched his fists so tightly that the veins on the back of his hands were about to burst.
"You're always like this, you have no patience at all. If someone says just one sentence, you start to make wild guesses and imagine all sorts of things. You have such a dramatic mind."
Xie Jinghuai had just opened his mouth when Jiang Shiyuan retorted, "Only Ninja Turtles can put up with you. So you'd better watch out in the future, or you'll scare Miss Lin away. By the time Xie Junheng grows up, he might have enough stepmothers to play mahjong with."
"I'll be at the hospital in a bit."
After saying that, she abruptly hung up.
For the past five years, Jiang Shiyuan had been enduring Xie Jinghuai's rude behavior, but one day, things would turn around.
Xie Jinghuai gripped his phone tightly, staring at the black screen, his face even darker than the screen itself.
Was he as bad as Jiang Shiyuan described?
No, I don't think so.
She was just trying to upset him and exaggerating!
...
Jiang Shiyuan took a taxi to the hospital and entered the ward, where he found the old lady having dinner, with Aunt Feng serving her.
"My little girl is here! Come, come to Grandma's side!" The old lady's eyes were full of love, and she was always genuinely happy to see her.
"Young Madam, please have a seat!" Aunt Feng hurriedly brought a chair and placed it by the bed.
A warm feeling welled up in Jiang Shiyuan's heart, and her eyes welled up with tears. She walked to the bedside, sat down, and held her grandmother's hand.
She no longer loved Xie Jinghuai, and had even given up on her son. But she couldn't let go of her grandmother.
Jiang Shiyuan took the bowl from Aunt Feng and fed the old lady the porridge spoonful by spoonful.
After the meal, the old lady asked curiously, "A-Yuan, where's Jing-Huai? Didn't he come with you?"
"he……"
Jiang Shiyuan parted her lips slightly, unsure how to answer, when a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
The old lady beamed and urged, "It must be Jinghuai coming over, Alan, go open the door quickly!"
"Yes, Madam!"
Aunt Feng hurriedly went to the door, opened it, and froze abruptly.
"Aunt Feng, has Grandma woken up? Has she had dinner?"
Lin Zhixin stood at the door, her eyes sparkling with a sweet smile, looking adorable and well-behaved. She was carrying a delicate box in her hand. "I queued for two hours to buy Grandma her favorite snacks. Can I come in... to see Grandma?"
