Chapter 607: Chairman Zhu Arrives in Jiangzhou

Sheng Jiang begged his son to let him off, saying that since so many years had passed, there was no need to bring it up again.

Shi Youxuan listened from the side without a word, thinking to herself, this person is truly interesting; he is lenient with himself but strict with others!

Back then, when Sheng Hanyu was at his lowest, he did not choose to give him a hand; instead, he joined those wicked people to frame his own son and distance himself from the situation.

Now, for his own sake, he is pitifully begging his son with snot and tears not to mention the past.

To be this double-standard really opened her eyes.

Sheng Hanyu remained unmoved, watching his father's "performance" coldly.

It was quite boring for Sheng Jiang to perform a one-man show alone; after crying for a long time without a response, he reached out his sleeve to wipe the tear stains from his face, looking at his son pitifully.

"Are you done crying? If not, you can continue."

"Cry, I'm done crying."

Sheng Jiang looked around guiltily, only then realizing they were at the main entrance.

Although the distance between the buildings in the residential complex was quite wide, it did not change the fact that at this time of day, there were many residents out for a stroll, and everyone was watching.

It's over, he has become a laughingstock once again.

In the past, he wouldn't have cared; after all, one doesn't fear more lice when already infested, but now he cares!

He is now a General Manager, so he must pay attention to his image.

"Let's go inside and talk. Whatever you want to know, I will tell you both, okay?" Sheng Jiang compromised.

So the family returned inside; although Wang Yinghao felt her husband was very shameful, she was still worried about leaving him alone, as he would only be even more shameful.

Sheng Jiang told the two that inviting Wang Bingbing to be the spokesperson was not just Zhu Xingye's idea; in fact, he was the one who invited her. Sheng Jiang did nothing; he just received a notification saying Wang Bingbing was the spokesperson and would come during the opening, and he was told to make the scene big when the time came!

The bigger, the better.

So he did as he was told, only he didn't expect that plans could not keep up with changes.

He said quite a bit more, though it was rambling and lacked a main point.

Moreover, there was no shortage of exaggeration and embellishment, but Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan still managed to discern a lot of useful information from it.

To put it bluntly, Sheng Jiang was just a puppet for Zhu Xingye!

Yet he was unaware of it, truly believing himself to be a steed and Zhu Xingye to be the talent scout who was helping him realize his dreams.

The two had not yet seen Zhu Xingye's other abilities, but one thing could be confirmed: his brainwashing skills were very powerful!

From the very beginning, Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan had vaguely felt that this person was targeting the two of them.

Now this had been proven once again, but the matter seemed more complicated than they had originally thought.

Sheng Hanyu and his wife exchanged glances; their thoughts were much the same.

He interrupted his father's incessant chatter and said, "I want to see Zhu Xingye. You arrange it for us."

After saying this, he pulled his wife upstairs, not giving him a chance to refuse at all.

His father shouted from behind him: "That won't work, our Chairman is very busy..."

He didn't even turn his head: "Then you just tell him, if he doesn't come, your company will be out of business within three days."

In the room.

Sheng Jiang paced back and forth anxiously again.

Wang Yinghao said: "Don't hesitate anymore. If you are too embarrassed to say it, I will."

As she spoke, she went to grab the phone, but Sheng Jiang snatched it away and held it tightly to his chest: "Can you stop forcing me? They all force me, and you force me too; you all won't be satisfied until you force me to death."

Seeing that her husband was still obsessed and refused to listen to reason at such a time, Wang Yinghao was also furious.

She said spitefully: "Fine, then keep hesitating. Just stay immersed in your beautiful dream and don't wake up. Let's see if you wake up in three days?"

After saying this, Wang Yinghao went to flip through advertisements to check if there were any suitable houses available recently.

Given her husband's way of "making trouble," it was better to be prepared early.

Sheng Jiang:...

Everything his wife said before was useless, but this sentence worked.

One phrase—"in three days"—reminded him.

It made Sheng Jiang decide that he had to tell the Chairman.

Even if he were to be blamed, he had to say it.

Otherwise, the company would really go out of business. He had invested his entire net worth into it; he couldn't just close down without having completed a single order.

Sheng Jiang dialed Zhu Xingye's number and told him about Sheng Hanyu wanting to see him.

He frowned.

It wasn't that he didn't want to go, but in this matter, he wasn't the one who made the decisions.

"How about this, wait for me a moment. Let me see if I can push aside the matters at hand; it's a business deal worth hundreds of billions..." Zhu Xingye did not refuse immediately, but instead found a random excuse to stall for time.

Sheng Jiang was incredibly moved.

A business deal worth hundreds of billions—how busy the Chairman must be. It was all his son's fault for being ignorant; he had been ignorant since he was a child and never shared his heart with him.

"Alright, Chairman, you go ahead and be busy. I will wait for your word."

Sheng Jiang hung up the phone and then grumbled to his wife with dissatisfaction: "The Chairman has a business deal worth hundreds of billions. It really wasn't right to disturb him when he is so busy."

Zhu Xingye sent a message to Zhu Yiwen to inform him of this matter.

"Fine, you go. Be mindful of your status. Your wife and children are safe with me; I will take good care of them." The surface meaning of this sentence was kind, but in reality, it was a threat and a reminder.

"Okay, I understand."

With his family in his hands, Zhu Xingye dared not play any tricks.

"Beep-beep—"

A WeChat notification sound rang out.

Sheng Jiang hurriedly picked up his phone; sure enough, it was a message from the Chairman.

The message was not long, just a short line: "Tomorrow morning at ten, Jiangzhou International Airport, F2 exit, pick me up."

"Good, good, good."

Sheng Jiang typed out three "good"s in a row, but thinking that still couldn't express his joyful mood, he used his trembling fingers to shakily type out a bunch of words of gratitude.

A moment later, the notification sound rang again; the Chairman indicated that he was currently handling remaining work, time was very tight, no idle chatter, see you tomorrow.

Sheng Jiang was so excited he didn't sleep all night.

Early the next morning.

He dressed neatly and, looking spirited, went to the living room to announce to his son: "Chairman Zhu's flight arrives in Jiangzhou at ten. Yesterday, when I said you wanted to see him, he didn't say a word and pushed aside a business deal worth hundreds of billions just to fly over."

"Our Chairman is busy with ten thousand tasks a day; being able to push aside such an important matter to come see you is all for the sake of my reputation. When you see him later, be polite to our Chairman."

Sheng Hanyu nodded: "Mm."

At breakfast.

Sheng Jiang repeated the same words in front of his daughter-in-law... no, that's not right, he exaggerated them and repeated them!

Shi Youxuan had been busy buttering up her mother-in-law and ignored him.

Her mother-in-law was a good mother-in-law; although sometimes they would have unpleasant moments, overall, she was still a very good person.

Cherish the people you like, stay away from those you don't.

Shi Youxuan's standard for judgment was just that simple and crude.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting and laughing, and with the two children chiming in from time to time, the atmosphere was quite good.

Sheng Zichen was cute and milky, and Shi Ran was smart and sensible; they automatically blocked out their grandfather's bragging and talked about their own things.

After breakfast, Shi Youxuan dropped Shi Ran off at school, then she didn't leave the school gate, waiting for Meiqi so the two of them could go for a spa as planned.

If you can't afford to offend them, can't you at least hide from them?

Shi Youxuan had decided since last night that from now on, when her father-in-law was at home, she would try her best not to be.

Even when they were both at home, she would avoid meeting him to prevent them from seeing each other as an eyesore.

At home.

After breakfast, Sheng Hanyu put on his suit and picked up his briefcase, preparing to go to work.

Seeing his son about to leave now, Sheng Jiang asked strangely: "Isn't it too early to go to the airport now? It's only seven o'clock, the Chairman won't get off the plane until ten."
