Jiang Jingchen was confused when he heard Wu Rui’s sarcastic words.

“Wu Rui, what are you insinuating? I don’t understand.”

Wu Rui said, “The third young miss of the Jiang family has followed the chairman to work. I heard that the chairman has been coughing all morning. He’s obviously not feeling well.”

“If the third young miss came here at such a time of crisis, she’s here to take control of the company and manage it going forward.”

“I heard that First Young Master Jiang and Third Young Miss aren’t on good terms. If Third Young Miss takes charge of Jiang Corporation, you’ll not have an easy time.”

“Would First Young Master like to change his mind for an easier future?”

Jiang Jingchen asked with a frown, “Wu Rui, are you hinting that I should learn how to write a resignation letter?”

Wu Rui was speechless.

Jiang Jingchen said with a sad expression. “I’ve never written a resignation letter. Wu Rui, do you have a template that you can lend me?”

Wu Rui didn’t want to entertain Jiang Jingchen anymore and went back to work.

Jiang Jingchen smiled when he saw how annoyed Wu Rui was.

This Wu Rui had tested him a few times. He even stared at him from time to time like he was surveilling him.

Right.

He deliberately analyzed the current situation with him to make him nervous so he would fight with Jiang Minghua.

But was Jiang Minghua even worthy?

A self-righteous woman like Jiang Minghua might look smart but she was actually quite stupid!

At noon on his way to lunch, Jiang Jingchen ran into Jiang Minghua.

He ignored her, but Jiang Minghua had something to say when she saw him. “First Brother, why are you still hanging around leisurely here? I heard that your wife got into a fight with someone at school.”

Jiang Jingchen stopped walking and turned to look at her. “What do you know?”

Jiang Minghua smiled brightly and showed him a video. “Look. This was taken at school. Your wife was beaten up.”

Jiang Jingchen reached out to snatch her phone but Jiang Minghua retracted her hand and said, “Recent rumors about your wife seemed to have blown up online. As her husband, you didn’t just fail to stop it, but you let matters fester. Jiang Jingchen, what kind of man are you?”

She was insulting him openly!

Jiang Jingchen gritted his teeth. He didn’t want to waste time with Jiang Minghua anymore and left.

But Jiang Minghua went after him and said, “Jiang Jingchen, I’m now learning management with Dad. Do you think I should be the head of the customer service or finance?”

“You’ll be very unhappy if I become your boss, right?”

“But what can I do? I just want to see you unhappy.”

Jiang Jingchen suddenly stopped walking and looked at Jiang Minghua coldly.

“You want to be my boss, huh? I’m afraid you are not qualified.”

“How am I not qualified? I think you just don’t want me to be the head of customer service. Alright, I’ll start small from there and take the position tomorrow. Don’t be late.”

“I’m not as nice as Mr. Li. I’ll dock your pay if you are late.”

“I heard that your salary isn’t very high, only about four or five thousand yuan a month. This pair of shoes I’m wearing costs more than six thousand yuan. First Brother, your one month of work can’t even buy me a pair of shoes.”

Jiang Jingchen chuckled and looked at her liked she was an idiot.

The shoes he was wearing cost more than 20,000 yuan.

Did he even care about his salary here?

No, he didn’t.

What he cared about was time.

If he had the time, he would make Jiang Minghua lose everything and make her the most hated person on earth!

As Jiang Jingchen exited the elevator, Wu Rui, who was in a hurry, ran into him.

Wu Rui apologized, “I’m sorry. Mr. Li needs a document urgently.”

Jiang Jingchen sneered. He didn’t even look at him and continued to walk out.

He was worried that his wife would get hurt.

Jiang Minghua laughed mockingly as she watched Jiang Jingchen walked away before she asked Wu Rui, “Did you plant the listening device on him?”

“Yes. It’s very small and I attached it to the hem at the back of his blazer. He won’t find it.”

Wu Rui looked at Jiang Jingchen’s back in anticipation of hearing something different.

Jiang Minghua mocked, “What hidden identity can Jiang Jingchen have? You are overthinking. I humiliated him like that, and he didn’t even say a word and ran away like a scared little mouse. He isn’t capable of anything.”

Wu Rui countered, “It’s better to err on the side of caution. If he is indeed not capable of anything, he is of no threat to you, and I don’t have to waste time watching him in the future. But if he is secretly powerful, we’ll be prepared.” “After all, Jiang Corporation is such a big business, and there are many people eyeing it.”

Jiang Minghua looked at him and asked deliberately, “Are you one of them?”

Wu Rui was stunned. He looked at her affectionately and said, “Minghua, you know that I only have eyes for you.”

Jiang Minghua was moved by the man’s gaze but she restrained her feelings and said, “If you help me take over Jiang Corporation, I’ll be your girlfriend.”

A hint of contempt flashed in Wu Rui’s eyes, but he was a good actor. He pushed his glasses up to disguise his emotions and said with a smile, “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

Jiang Jingchen didn’t know that someone had planted a bug on him. He called Tang Beibei, but no one answered. He then called Fu Jin.

Fu Jin picked up the call and said, “I have something to do today, so I’ve taken a day off from school. I’m not in school now. What happened?”

Fu Jin knew that Young Master Jiang would never call him unless it was about Tang Beibei.

“Someone told me that my wife got into a fight at school. Since you didn’t know, never mind.”

“Hey, you…”

Before Fu Jin could finish, Jiang Jingchen hung up the phone. He stepped on the accelerator and headed to Tang Beibei’s school.

When he arrived, he called Tang Beibei again, but no one answered.

He was worried.

Fu Jin called him back and he picked up the call.

Fu Jin said, “I’ve sent you my classmate’s phone number. He’s going to find Tang Beibei. Contact him.”

“Why would my wife get into a fight?”

Fu Jin replied, “I heard that it started off as an argument over something trivial. Don’t worry. Beibei is very tough. She’s not someone to be bullied.”

“Fu Jin, speak nicely. How is my wife tough?”

Fu Jin was complimenting Tang Beibei, not mocking her.

Jiang Jingchen didn’t want to waste time talking with Fu Jin. He called Fu Jin’s classmate, who was also Tang Beibei’s classmate, with the last name Shen.

The call went through. Shen told him that Tang Beibei went to the pharmacy to buy medicine.

“What medicine is she getting? Is she injured? Is it serious?”

Shen was quiet for a few seconds before he said, “No, she has injured someone. She’s buying medicine for that female student. She should be at the school’s west entrance. Come over here.”

There were several entrances to Tang Beibei’s school. The main gate was the east entrance and Jiang Jingchen came in from the main gate.

He ran to the west entrance and saw Tang Beibei carrying a bag of medicine.

“Obedient Beibei.”

Tang Beibei turned her head, saw him, and waved.

Jiang Jingchen quickly walked up to her and looked her up and down. After making sure that she was not injured, he heaved a sigh of relief.

“Who did you fight with? Are you injured?”

“No, I beat someone up.” Tang Beibei lowered her head guiltily.

Jiang Jingchen’s face darkened. “That person must be too hateful and deserved a beating!”

Tang Beibei found support and immediately complained, “She smashed my phone. I was so angry. It’s the phone that you bought me and I’ve only used it for a few months.”

“Buying a new phone requires money. She refused to compensate me, so we tussled for a bit… I couldn’t take it anymore and slapped her.”

Jiang Jingchen rubbed her palm. “Does your hand hurt?”

“Yes.”

“Tang Beibei, have you got the medicine?” Shen came over and asked.

When he saw Jiang Jingchen, he quickly said, “Young Master Jiang, it’s good that you’re here. That girl is Fu Jin’s admirer. She accused Beibei of seducing Fu Jin and even smashed Beibei’s phone. That’s why Beibei got into an altercation with her.”

“But I told her that Tang Beibei’s husband is the first young master of the Jiang family. That girl got scared and stopped making a scene. That’s when Beibei went to buy medicine for her.”

It seemed that the whole thing started because of the video of Fu Jin taking photos of Tang Beibei.

The three of them went to see the other girl. She was sitting on a wooden bench, covering her face with her hands with an ice pack in one hand.

That half of her face was swollen.

Tsk. Jiang Jingchen felt sorry for his wife’s hand. How much strength had she used to slap this girl?

He looked at his little wife. She was… she was indeed very tough.

Tang Beibei felt guilty under his gaze. “I was too angry and couldn’t control myself..”
