Chapter 229 Waiting for her to crash and bleed
Fu Chong stared intently at Jiang Shiyuan, making no attempt to hide his admiration and desire for her.
He had seen countless people, and the woman before him was exceptional, truly special to him. Over the years, the women surrounding him had mostly been mere pretty faces, or just objects of amusement; they possessed both good looks and intelligence, but only good looks.
But Jiang Shiyuan is not only good-looking, she is also intelligent.
He's been with so many women, but he's never experienced the feeling of a female CEO.
His heart was restless.
His eyes held a captivating desire, as if he wanted to immediately pull Jiang Shiyuan into his arms, kiss her, and even possess her.
"Brother Jinghuai, is my sister... really the president of Eternal Technology Company now?"
Lin Zhixin's astonishment was genuine. "You two are husband and wife, and you must have known about your sister managing Eternal... right?"
Xie Jinghuai stared intently at Jiang Shiyuan's face, his deep, brooding gaze fixed on her. His throat tightened and he felt a lump in his throat. "I don't know."
Lin Zhixin's eyes widened. "You two are husband and wife. It's one thing for my sister to keep it from others, but why did you keep it from Jinghuai as well?"
Is it because...you think I'm holding a grudge against you for acquiring the Yonghen patent, so I'm deliberately keeping it from you?
Xie Jinghuai clenched his fist suddenly, his face darkening.
Lin Zhixin continued singing: "But Brother Jinghuai, you did this for your sister, to help Yongheng! Even if we take a step back, the patent is Jiang Yongxiao's, and he came to you begging for your help. What does that have to do with you?"
Those patents, if you don't buy them, no one will buy them; in the end, they'll just be a pile of worthless junk. If your sister takes her anger out on you because of this, she'll really break your heart!
"He's just a president. So what if he becomes the chairman of Eternal?"
Xie Jinghuai took a deep breath, his phoenix eyes filled with contemptuous mockery, "The current Eternal is a mess that would be a huge headache for anyone who takes it over. It's already at its last gasp and there's no way to turn things around. Jiang Yongxiao only agreed to let her be the president to appease his niece."
Moreover, she lacks management and technical expertise, and has no one around her who can help her make decisions. What kind of waves can she possibly make in Eternal? She'll only continue to embarrass herself and become a laughingstock.
That disdainful attitude made Lin Zhixin feel comfortable and at ease.
Sure enough, Brother Jinghuai was just momentarily blinded by that bitch's mention of divorce; deep down, he still looked down on her.
But she still subtly probed, "But... Sister has you, Brother Jinghuai. If she has any questions about management, she can ask you for advice."
If my sister encounters any technical difficulties and comes to me for help, as sisters, I will definitely do my best to assist her.
As she spoke, she gave a helpless, bitter smile. "However, my sister is so stubborn and dislikes me so much... she probably won't contact me. I was just being presumptuous."
Why should I help her?
Xie Jinghuai raised his chin slightly with a cold arrogance, "If she had told me earlier that she wanted to be the president of Eternal, I might have supported her out of consideration for her honesty with me."
But she kept it from me completely, clearly not respecting me as her husband. Since she's so determined, let her struggle in that quagmire of eternity. She won't give up, and she won't learn her lesson, until she comes back covered in filth and resentment.
He'll sit back and wait, hoping Jiang Shi will break through the wall in Eternity, preferably until she's bleeding profusely!
Otherwise, how could she have completely changed her mind and returned to his side? Sooner or later, she would have turned back, crying and begging him to help her.
Here, Ms. Guo seemed determined to avenge Jiang Shiyuan, and angrily asked:
"Get someone from the organizers here right now. I want you to confront them face-to-face! If you're not with the organizers, you should know what the consequences will be!"
The staff member was panicked and unable to defend himself.
Jiang Shiyuan glanced subtly in Xie Jinghuai's direction, then coldly looked away:
“Ms. Guo, now that I have been able to stay at the event, I don’t want to pursue this matter any further.”
Ms. Guo stared in disbelief. "Why? Good boy, you were almost kicked out! You're a company president, yet you lost face in front of so many people. How can this be left like this?!"
Jiang Shiyuan smiled and dismissed the matter with composure, saying, "First of all, I wasn't kicked out. Today, the organizers gave everyone an opportunity to gather together, and I didn't want to make things awkward for everyone. Secondly, he's just an employee, and I believe he didn't intentionally come to pick a fight with me; he just had no other choice."
He's already had a hard time, and I don't want to make things harder for him. Let's leave it at that.
Everyone showed her approving expressions. Her demeanor and composure were truly remarkable, far beyond what an ordinary young girl could achieve. She was remarkably mature and composed!
Xie Jinghuai's breath hitched, and for some reason, he felt as if he had been slapped, his cheeks burning.
"Alright, fine, we'll do it your way!"
But Ms. Guo still couldn't swallow her anger and glared at the man, demanding, "Why aren't you apologizing to President Jiang right now?"
The man bowed repeatedly, apologizing, "President Jiang, I'm so sorry... I've caused you so much trouble, I'm really sorry..."
After the minor incident subsided, Yin Meng returned to Jiang Shiyuan's side, holding a plate of delicate pastries in her hands, a carefree smile on her face. She was such a silly girl, completely unaware of what had just happened.
"President Jiang, what happened?" Yin Meng asked, puzzled as everyone around them stared at them.
Jiang Shiyuan smiled dismissively, "It's nothing."
Ms. Guo hurriedly said, "Nothing much? Your General Manager Jiang was almost kicked out by some ill-intentioned people!"
Yin Meng was so shocked she almost dropped the plate in her hand. "Ah? How could this happen?!"
"It's all over now, just a small trouble. Thanks to Ms. Guo for your help."
Ms. Guo waved her hand, her eyes full of concern, "Oh, it's nothing. You're your mother's precious darling, so I have to take good care of you for her sake!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiyuan's eyes reddened slightly, and she gently pursed her lips.
Ms. Guo was unaware that she already knew she was not her mother's friend, and that her mother had no connection with her at all during her lifetime.
She didn't know why Ms. Guo had her mother's shares, why she returned them to her, or why Ms. Guo cared about her so much.
On the one hand, she wanted to understand more, but on the other hand, she didn't want to expose him.
A person who lacks love and longs for it is always so easily moved by the kindness of others. She carefully collects all the love and cherishes it dearly.
"Mr. Fu, thank you for getting me out of that situation just now." Jiang Shiyuan didn't forget Fu Chong and thanked him with a smile.
"Miss Jiang recognizes me?" Fu Chong's face lit up with joy.
She smiled. "Of course, how could I not know the president of the two most powerful families in Beijing, the Xie family and the Fu family?"
"Brother Jinghuai, look over there, Sister and President Fu are having a great chat." Lin Zhixin tugged at Xie Jinghuai's sleeve.
She didn't seem like someone attending an event; she looked more like a human camera with malicious intent. Ever since Jiang Shiyuan entered, her eyes had been glued to her!
Xie Jinghuai stared intently at Jiang Shiyuan and Fu Chong as they talked, his clenched fists bulging with muscle tension, his chest heaving.
One Fu Chenzhou isn't enough; you need to get in touch with Fu Chong as well.
Who are you planning to hook up with next? Is Fu Lixian such an old geezer?
Fu Chong was extremely pleased. A smile played on his lips as he stepped forward, getting closer to Jiang Shiyuan. The desire in his dark pupils gradually surfaced, becoming increasingly naked.
“Miss Jiang… no, Mr. Jiang, you’re too kind. It was Ms. Guo who solved your problem; I haven’t even had a chance to help you in any way.”
Jiang Shiyuan smiled slightly, oblivious to the lust in the man's eyes. In fact, she hadn't even considered that possibility.
However, Ms. Guo saw this and her alarm bells went off.
She took the opportunity to turn around, avoid the two of them, and temporarily leave the venue.
"But I think that even without Ms. Guo, I would never allow anyone to disrespect Mr. Jiang today."
Fu Chong narrowed his eyes and extended his hand to Jiang Shiyuan. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Fu Chong, President of Fu Group. It's a pleasure to meet Miss Jiang."
“Eternal Technology, Jiang Shiyuan, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” Jiang Shiyuan shook hands with him generously.
The two chatted and laughed, unaware that Xie Jinghuai, standing in the shadows, had two balls of anger burning in his eyes, turning them red.
However, even though he knew Fu Chong was a dangerous person, he seemed to have no intention of going to publicly acknowledge his marital relationship with Jiang Shiyuan.
It's as if he wouldn't feel comfortable unless Jiang Shiyuan suffered some losses, pain, or hardship.
Outside the venue, Ms. Guo made a phone call.
After ringing several times, the other end answered.
Before anyone could speak, Ms. Guo asked urgently, "Chen Zhou, where are you? Can you come to the Aofeng Technology Conference right away?"
Fu Chenzhou's deep, magnetic voice came through, "I'm on a business trip in Hong Kong. There's an important collaboration that needs to be finalized today, so I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back in time."
Ms. Guo was extremely anxious. "Oh dear! Why do you always let us down at crucial moments? Let me tell you, if you hadn't come, you might regret it for the rest of your life!"
Fu Chenzhou chuckled, "That serious?"
"How can it not be serious? If you hadn't come soon, Miss Jiang would have been carried off by wild wolves!"
Meanwhile, in the presidential suite of a six-star hotel in Hong Kong, Fu Chenzhou gazed at the magnificent cityscape outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, his eyes deep and unfathomable, devoid of any light.
"What wolf cubs?"
"The president of the Fu Group is your half-brother, isn't he?"
Fu Chenzhou paused, his fingers holding the cigarette. "What's wrong with Fu Chong?"
"He showed up at the technology conference today. I don't know if he knew Ms. Jiang before or if they just met, but he not only stepped in to help Ms. Jiang out of an awkward situation, but the two of them are chatting enthusiastically right now!"
Ms. Guo, with the concern of an aunt, said, "I've been through this before. I can tell at a glance whether a man has feelings for a woman! Your older brother is very attentive to Miss Jiang; it's obvious he's got his eye on her."
If you don't come back soon, your older brother will beat you to it! Then, your sweetheart will become your sister-in-law, and you'll have your day!
