It wasn’t that Song Yan didn’t trust her daughter but if she took charge of the company, she would need help from others to do her job well.

“I liked that young man and encouraged you to date him seriously before. But you insisted on being with some handsome foreign guy. Have you guys reconciled now?”

Jiang Minghua shook her head and told her mother, ”Mom, men are all cheap!” “Wu Rui is still hung up on me. I’m not going to let him get his way so easily. I’ll tell him that I’ll get back together with him only after I take over Jiang Corporation.”

“Is that appropriate?”

However, Jiang Minghua was very confident. “There’s nothing inappropriate about it. I’ve known Wu Rui for years, so I know him very well.”

“With his help and support from the butler, and Second Brother, I can definitely manage Jiang Corporation.”

Seeing Song Yan’s hesitation, Jiang Minghua added, “Mom, Jiang Jingchen is Still part of the Jiang family. What if something happens to Dad and Jiang Jingchen fights us for the family assets?”

“If I have management rights to Jiang Corporation, it will be that much harder for Jiang Jingchen to fight us.”

Song Yan looked at the butler expectantly and asked, “Do you think Minghua can cut it?”

The butler had worked for Jiang Xing for years and understood how Jiang Corporation worked.

Moreover, if it weren’t for the butler’s help, Song Yan wouldn’t have gotten together with Jiang Xing.

“Third Young Miss is smart and quick-witted. We should give her a chance.”

Jiang Xing’s hadn’t written his will yet. If he suddenly died and Jiang Jingchen shameless made claims on his estate, he would get some of it.

Moreover, he had a major shareholder agreement with him, which was a huge threat to them.

The three of them discussed and decided that Jiang Minghua would see Jiang Xmg when he woke up from his nap and asked to become his understudy at Jiang Corporation so she could learn how to manage the company. After all, hands-on experience was more important than knowledge.

Jiang Xmg doted on his daughter very much and did not reject her request. However, he said, “Study well under me so that you can help your brother when he graduates and joins the company.”

Although Jiang Xing doted on his daughter, he still preferred to hand over the family business to his son.

Jiang Minghua was unhappy, but she still nodded with a smile.

Alright, I will study hard and help my brother manage the family business!”

At Jiang Jingchen’s villa…

When Jiang Jingchen arrived home with Tang Beibei after picking her up from school, Uncle Zhang, who had been sitting in the living room, immediately stood up and bowed 90 degrees apologetically.

Tang Beibei was shocked. She retreated and looked at Uncle Zhang in surprise. “What are you doing?”

Uncle Zhang sighed. “All of us knew that the video Xiaohe’s mother made would upset you but someone threatened us with Xiaohe’s life.”

“We had no choice but to cooperate. But I vowed to tell you if I see you and apologize to you together with Xiaohe’s mother when she’s back.”

“Where’s Mrs. Zhang?”

Uncle Zhang’s expression was a little sad as he said, “The man who wanted to harm you went to Xiaohe’s house and threatened Xiaohe’s mother with his life Xiaohe’s family consists only of the mother and son, so they had no choice but to cooperate.”

“After Xiaohe’s mother posted the video, they called me over, saying that they were taking us on a trip.”

“They told us that it was a trip, but it was actually a ruse to take us somewhere to lock us up.”

‘ I pretended to cooperate and found an excuse to run away when I went looking for a toilet. I wanted to tell you that someone is trying to harm you. If we find that man, well find the mastermind.”

Jiang Jingchen asked, “Do you remember where that man took Xiaohe?”

“I escaped enroute so I’m afraid I don’t know his whereabouts.”

Uncle Zhang continued with trepidation, “They won’t harm my family and

Xiaohe in broad daylight, right?”

Jiang Jingchen couldn’t answer his question because he had no idea where those people had gone and who they were.

But Tang Beibei said thoughtfully, “I don’t think so.”

Everyone looked at her. Tang Beibei explained, “Those people just wanted to ruin my reputation and put me in a very awkward situation. They could only do that online but once I’m off the internet, the matter has nothing to do with me.”

“If those people set out to kill someone, they would have killed me.”

I’m usually at school. It’s a public place but if they really wanted to kill me, there are still plenty of ways to do it. But since I’m fine, I can infer that the ’ enemy’s goal isn’t to rob and kill.”

Although what Tang Beibei said made sense, Uncle Zhang was still very anxious.

“How are we going to save them?”

The situation was dangerous as long as the enemy had his family.

Tang Beibei asked Jiang Jingchen with a frown, “Why don’t we help Uncle Zhang call the police?”

Jiang Jingchen replied, “The police? We must call the police, but Uncle Zhang must do it himself. We can’t help.”

“The enemy has already used you to harm my wife because you know her. We are going to keep our distance this time. It will be good for you and my wife.” Uncle Zhang felt guilty when he heard Jiang Jingchen hint at the bird’s nest incident. He shouldn’t have been nice then and helped that evil man.

Okay, okay, I’ll call the police myself.”

Jiang Jingchen said, “You go to the police. I’ll send someone to watch over you

in secret to make sure that you are safe.”

“Thank you, Mr. Jiang. Beibei, you saved Xiaohe, but we brought you so much trouble. I’m really sorry.”

Uncle Zhang’s face was filled with guilt. They had spoken for so long, but he

was still standing uneasily with his back bent.

Tang Beibei chuckled. “What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger. I’m taking this in stride.”

“Uncle Zhang, don’t think too much. It’s more important that we find Xiaohe and the rest.”

“Yes, yes, you are such a kind girl. Mr. Jiang, you’ve married a good wife!”

Uncle Zhang praised Tang Beibei sincerely and gave her a thumbs up.

Tang Beibei was embarrassed by his words. She walked him to the door. After he left, she turned to Jiang Jingchen and said, “I’m quite worried about Xiaohe and the rest. I pray that they’re okay.”

Jiang Jingchen rubbed her little head and contacted Ji Yi.

The next day, Jiang Jingchen went to the office and found out that Jiang Xing was sick and had brought Jiang Minghua to work with him.

Jiang Jingchen sat unperturbed at his desk and answered calls when he felt like it. Of course, all the customers who were served by him had won the lottery.

Because if they had a problem, he wouldn’t be able to help them resolve it. But he was quite good at arguing with customers.

Someone called to complain after Jiang Jingchen hung up the third call that ended in an argument. Mr. Li came over and begged him not to answer calls but to play games instead.

Jiang Jingchen waved his hand. “How can I just play games? I took this job, so I have to do something. If I don’t do my job well, just train me.”

Mr. Li’s head hurt. It wasn’t just a matter of training. Jiang Jingchen had been here for months, but he still knew nothing about the business or know what he was talking about. Even when his colleagues reminded him, he didn’t understand.

“I know that Young Master wants to do your job well, but we aren’t too busy now, so you don’t have to worry. Young Master, you’re already very dedicated by showing up at work every day. Games are quite fun. Do you need me to top up your game coins, or buy you some equipment?”

Jiang Jingchen’s colleagues were all staring at him with envy and hatred.

Jiang Jingchen had no choice but to play games.

Wu Rui looked at him and laughed. He then went to get two cups of water and brought one to Jiang Jingchen.

“First Young Master, do you really know nothing about Jiang Corporation’s business?”

Jiang Jingchen said bitterly, “Is it my fault that I don’t know anything? No one trained me.”

They were all begging him not to work. Who would dare to give him any advice about work?

Wu Rui pushed his glasses up his nose and said with a glint in his eyes, “Young Master Jiang, I really don’t know if it’s because your acting skills are too good, or if you’re unwilling to learn..”
