Chapter 79 I Like to Do It Hard
The lounge was silent.
Several inquiring gazes fell on Chen Qing.
She still had stage makeup on her face that she hadn't bothered to remove just now. Now she was wearing a T-shirt and jeans, which looked really weird.
Jiang Jingyan lifted her chin and wiped off her lip makeup with his thumb. "Are there any performances?"
Chen Qing was forced to look up, his voice vague, "Well, the department head asked me to temporarily fill in for the cultural and tourism activities."
The stage makeup was exaggerated, and since she was not the lead actress, the makeup artist probably did it casually.
The makeup is gaudy and tacky.
Jiang Jingyan pulled out a wet wipe and wiped off half of the big red lips.
"You need to use makeup remover." Chen Qing wiped his mouth so hard that it hurt, and turned his head away, "How can you force it like that?"
"I like it hard."
"That's why you're rude."
"Who's gentle?" Jiang Jingyan narrowed his eyes and teased her intentionally, "Who are you comparing me to?"
Chen Qing choked and said nothing.
Tang Xiaoming coughed twice as a reminder.
Jiang Jingyan raised his eyelids and said, "If your throat is uncomfortable, go see a doctor."
He put his arm across Chen Qing's back, showing natural intimacy.
Tang Xiaoming's expression changed, and he forced a smile, "Miss Zou, Miss Xue, do you want to play cards?"
One of them replied, "Is Mr. Jiang going?"
Chen Qing consciously distanced himself from the center of the topic and remained silent.
"No." Jiang Jingyan flicked the little head in his arms with his fingers, "I'm entangled. Please do as you please."
"Mr. Xiao never mentioned that Mr. Jiang had such a confidante."
Chen Qing paused and looked up.
It was unclear which Miss Zou or Miss Xue was speaking, but her smile was tinged with an inexplicable wariness. "She looks unfamiliar. Who is she from?"
Tang Xiaoming rarely gets embarrassed in situations, and he stammered, "I didn't say it? Maybe I'm too old..."
Suddenly, another person pointed at the TV screen in the lounge and said, "Hey—isn't this it?"
It was evening news time and the TV happened to be showing a local TV station.
Chen Qing immediately turned around and explained, "I only realized Mr. Yan was here when I got there."
The man didn't look at her, his expression calm.
The two young ladies on the side were discussing Yan Baiqing and laughing when the screen showed the final group photo.
There was a moment of dead silence.
Jiang Jingyan looked at the two people standing side by side on the stage, his face turning colder and colder.
He saw the half-minute scene clearly.
Yan Baiqing should have been in the front row, but he took a step back when taking the photo.
Chen Qing's heart beat faster and sweat broke out on the tip of his nose.
Tang Xiaoming quickly found an excuse to take the man away.
They left, and Jiang Jingyan was still staring at the TV screen.
Chen Qing bravely went to pull him, "The dean was in a hurry, so I didn't have time to tell you."
"What else did you do?"
She shook her head and added, "Mr. Yan took Director Zhang to the scene."
"He seems to be concerned about your affairs. I'm afraid that they turned their fake play into reality some time ago."
Chen Qing couldn't stand his tone the most and retorted, "You forced me to agree to that at the Luo family."
Jiang Jingyan took a sip of wine and didn't care about her attitude. "Yan Baiqing pretended to be serious, did you go along with it?"
"Mr. Jiang." Lian Zhuo suddenly knocked on the door. "Vice President Kong is here."
He stood up quickly without giving Chen Qing a chance to answer.
…
The reason why Huasheng invited this director here is not because of other matters.
The department director who caused trouble last week was a close friend of his.
The board of directors hadn't dealt with the issue yet, but he sent someone to settle it, under the pretext of helping the group resolve employee conflicts.
So, the first person to audit the accounts was Vice President Kong.
Jiang Jingyan took big steps, and Lian Zhuo followed closely, observing him secretly from the corner of his eye.
As soon as he entered the reception room, Vice President Kong stood up to greet him, "Mr. Jiang, I see you!"
"Sit down." Jiang Jingyan lit a cigarette. "I have something else to do, so I'll cut to the chase."
According to convention, the group will not make any rash moves before the opening of the summit forum, and will not move anyone on the board of directors during such a sensitive period.
But Jiang Jingyan had just arrived and had issued new regulations, including rectification and auditing, and he had no intention of keeping a low profile at all.
The chairman turned a deaf ear and the board of directors had no choice but to obey.
Vice President Kong's own confidant was dismissed, and he hurriedly covered his mouth, but he didn't expect to run into the gun and be investigated.
"Mr. Jiang, I'll hand over all the money!" Vice Director Kong, sweating profusely, begged him, "Please give me a chance to reform."
Jiang Jingyan took a long puff of his cigarette and asked, "What were you doing when you were greedy?"
"Yes, yes, I'm possessed by evil. Please be merciful and I'll make up for all those debts. I'll even give up my position as Vice Chairman. It's all fine! As long as you don't report it..."
"It's too late."
Vice President Kong's face was pale and his lips were trembling.
Jiang Jingyan exhaled a puff of smoke from his nose. "Vice Chairman Kong has a big appetite. He swallowed 50 million in public funds and made up for it. It seems the investigation is not thorough enough."
He gestured to Lian Zhuo.
Several plainclothes officers from the Economic Investigation Team rushed in from outside the door.
"take away."
Vice President Kong panicked, "Mr. Jiang! Please forgive me this time!"
Lian Zhuo cooperated with the plainclothes police to take him away. Yan Weilan happened to pass by and stopped.
Jiang Jingyan was feeling annoyed, and knowing why she came, he did not stand up to greet her.
"Jingyan is truly impartial, but it's a pity that you haven't fully grasped the art of business."
He said nothing and slowly crushed the cigarette butt.
Yan Weilan looked at Vice President Kong's embarrassed back and said in an ambiguous tone, "Killing them all will only cause endless trouble."
"As a businessman, you shouldn't challenge bottom lines and principles."
She turned around, their eyes met, a smile at the corners of her eyes, "You are like your mother, stubborn and aloof."
Jiang Jingyan frowned.
Yan Weilan said nothing more and turned into the corridor.
When returning to the lounge, Tang Xiaoming caught up with him, "Mrs. Jiang gave me a mission, asking you to meet Miss Zou and Miss Xue. What do you mean by bringing Chen Qing here? You're deliberately trying to mess with me, right? How am I going to explain this?"
The man's brows were gloomy. "It's up to you."
"You're obsessed with her, but she's hooked up with Yan Baiqing and is still doing well. And you're planning to play a trick of brothers fighting over a woman? Aren't you ashamed?"
Jiang Jingyan stopped abruptly.
Tang Xiaoming was startled and took two steps back, "Don't be so shameless, I'm telling the truth."
After a three-second stalemate, Jiang Jingyan left him and went into the room.
Chen Qing lay on the armrest of the sofa, motionless.
Fell asleep.
So heartless.
Jiang Jingyan stood in front of her and knocked on the back of her head.
Chen Qing jumped up, his face was red from being pressed, and his eyes were a little sleepy and confused. "Are you done?"
"How do you remove your makeup?"
"I borrowed some cleansing oil from the etiquette lady."
She kicked off her shoes, climbed onto the sofa, and hugged him, "Are you feeling better now?"
Jiang Jingyan stood with his hands behind his back, neither helping her nor saying a word.
Chen Qing staggered and his face turned red.
Yuan Hui taught her that when a man is angry, she should use beauty to coax him.
The armrest of the sofa hurt his feet, so Chen Qing simply jumped and wrapped his legs around his waist.
Jiang Jingyan subconsciously lifted her hips and scolded her unhappily, "You're so impetuous."
Chen Qing's breathing was disordered.
The belt buckle pressed tightly against her, but Jiang Jingyan looked at her with his eyelids lowered, standing still.
She made up her mind and kissed him actively.
