Upon hearing Gao Xiang mention the word "arrogant," Cheng Yan glanced at him with a displeased expression.
"Extroverted? I don't see it that way."
Cheng Yan's question left Gao Xiang completely baffled as to what his boss was thinking.
Since he became Cheng Yan's assistant, the words he heard Cheng Yan say most often were "keep a low profile" and "always keep a low profile."
Over the years, although he had been Cheng Gongzi's assistant, he had always kept his boss's teachings in mind and never dared to do anything ostentatious.
But Jian He's fuss over smashing someone's art exhibition is bound to cause a significant public opinion impact. Yet, in Cheng Yan's view, this is not ostentatious at all.
Is this the difference between people?
Gao Xiang touched his head and timidly called out, "President Cheng..."
Ignoring Gao Xiang's words, Cheng Yan quickly organized the documents in his hand and said to him, "Prepare the car, we're going to the Jian residence..."
Upon hearing that Cheng Yan was going to the Jian residence again, Gao Xiang, as Cheng Yan's assistant, had no choice but to earnestly try to dissuade him.
"Mr. Cheng, Ms. Jian is currently going through a divorce with her husband. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to visit the Jian residence so frequently at this time?"
Upon hearing Gao Xiang's words, Cheng Yan's sharp gaze pierced him.
"Why is it inappropriate?"
Gao Xiang explained, "Ms. Jian is not divorced yet. Your frequent visits will have a certain impact on your reputation."
Cheng Yan and the Jian family are both wealthy families in Nanluo City. The big and small things that happen to wealthy families always become topics of conversation among the people. Coupled with the deliberate manipulation of some unscrupulous media, it will definitely have an impact on the family business.
Cheng Yan is not married yet. Recently, Cheng Yan's parents have been trying to get him to marry Bai Qingye, the daughter of the Bai family, which is also a wealthy family. If Cheng Yan gets involved in any scandals at this critical juncture, it will likely have a negative impact on him.
Cheng Yan didn't take Gao Xiang's words to heart.
He said, "I am her divorce lawyer. Isn't it perfectly reasonable for me to go to her to discuss divorce matters?"
"Besides, is my reputation that important?"
After saying that, Cheng Yan ignored Gao Xiang, grabbed the car keys from the table, and left quickly.
Gao Xiang scratched his head, utterly speechless.
In his view, Cheng Yan has always been a man who cherishes his reputation. How could he suddenly say that his reputation is no longer important to him?
To minimize the impact, Gao Xiang quickly followed in Cheng Yan's footsteps.
As soon as Cheng Yan's car drove out of the underground parking garage, he saw Yin Muqiao waiting at the exit of the garage. He was standing at the entrance of the garage smoking and looked to be in a bad state.
When Yin Muqiao saw Cheng Yan's car come out, she jogged over to the car.
Gao Xiang, who was driving, glanced back at Cheng Yan. Cheng Yan nodded at him, and Gao Xiang rolled down the car window.
Through the window, Cheng Yan spoke to Yin Muqiao expressionlessly: "Security Officer Yin, is there something you need?"
Yin Muqiao had just attended Wu Hua's art exhibition and hadn't had time to change out of his suit. But even in a suit, it didn't change the fact that he was now a security guard.
"Attorney Cheng, shall we talk?"
Yin Muqiao was not provoked by Cheng Yan's words "Yin Security Guard". He suppressed his anger and decided to have a chat with Cheng Yan.
A cold smile curled at the corner of Cheng Yan's mouth as he looked at Yin Muqiao.
He replied coldly, "Yin Baoan, I don't think there's any need for us to talk."
Cheng Yan rejected him.
“You are Jian He’s lawyer. She entrusted you with full authority to handle our divorce, so I need to talk to you about my divorce from Jian He.”
Upon hearing Yin Muqiao mention this place, Cheng Yan agreed.
"Alright, I'll only give you five minutes. Go ahead and say it..."
Hearing that Cheng Yan had given him five minutes, Yin Muqiao breathed a long sigh of relief.
Without any hesitation, he spoke his demands to Cheng Yan, who was sitting in the car.
“Attorney Cheng, Jian He and I have been married for so many years. She has used every means to divorce me. I know she is only doing this to force me to change my mind.”
“One day, she will definitely come crawling back to me. As her lawyer, I suggest you think carefully about the consequences of offending me.”
"A wise man submits to circumstances. Attorney Cheng, you're a smart man, you should know what choice to make, right?"
Yin Muqiao's words made Cheng Yan want to punch him through the car window. What did he mean? A lousy security guard who had already been fired was now trying to get him, Cheng Yan, to come and cause trouble?
Following Yin Muqiao's words, Cheng Yan casually asked, "So, what do you mean?"
"What I mean is, you need to convince Jian He to give me 500 million yuan as a breakup fee."
"Or, if you really can't handle this matter, you can terminate the authorization contract with Jian He. Don't worry, Attorney Cheng, you'll definitely get your share of benefits in the future."
Yin Muqiao's words made Gao Xiang, who was driving, chuckle.
What level is Yin Muqiao? What level is Cheng Yan? How could he spout such nonsense, saying that Cheng Yan would definitely benefit from it?
He's really talking big; he's really not afraid of his tongue getting twisted in the wind!
Faced with the childish Yin Muqiao, Cheng Yan couldn't be bothered with him. He raised an eyebrow and ordered Gao Xiang, "Drive..."
Gao Xiang immediately understood, stepped on the gas, and the car shot off with a roar.
When the car's exhaust fumes sprayed all over Yin Muqiao's face, he belatedly realized that Cheng Yan hadn't answered him yet.
"Hey Cheng, what do you mean?"
"Let me tell you, if you don't do as I say, you'll regret it later."
...
Hearing Yin Muqiao's arrogant words, Gao Xiang turned his head and spat out the car window.
"Who is this Yin Muqiao? He actually dares to threaten you?"
"It's only on our turf. If it were somewhere else, I would have gotten out of the car and given him a good beating."
"Miss Jian, your taste is a bit poor. How could she have taken a liking to something like this in the first place?"
Gao Xiang spoke without restraint, cursing Yin Muqiao all he wanted, but he dragged Jian He into it, which made Cheng Yan a little unhappy.
He looked up, glared at Gao Xiang with obvious displeasure, and said, "Gao Xiang, haven't you noticed you've been talking a bit too much today?"
Upon hearing his boss's reminder, Gao Xiang immediately shut his mouth.
Did he talk too much? I don't think so. He was just stating the facts.
Soon, Cheng Yan arrived at Jian He's new home. As soon as he entered the living room, Rui Bao, who hadn't gone to school that day, rushed towards him.
"Uncle Cheng, you're here! My mom was just thinking about you..."
