Chapter 406: Just so-so

The boss hesitated for a moment, his gaze falling on him.

"Your words make a lot of sense; opportunities are rare now, and if I can seize this chance, that would naturally be the best!"

"So—" the boss's eyes blazed, he glanced at the agent in front of him, stood up, and extended his hand: "Happy cooperation!"

The agent was overjoyed.

"Happy cooperation!"

He said: "Rest assured, I will absolutely not disappoint your expectations of me; I will definitely arrange this matter perfectly. Especially on Jiang Cheng's side, he'd better not think he can get away with it! His future—sooner or later he'll be finished!"

He spoke with conviction, his ambition blazing.

The hatred in his eyes was extremely obvious.

This boss sized him up.

"I'm really getting more and more curious—this is clearly the other party's fault, so why did the blame end up on you?" The boss stretched out his hand, rubbing his chin, feeling puzzled and unable to suppress his inner frustration, so he asked the question.

The agent's body stiffened slightly; he felt a bit embarrassed.

Because he had concealed the truth of the matter.

If the truth were spoken, how could these bosses possibly bring him into their fold?

He is no fool, so it's naturally impossible for him to spill all those truths in full detail.

For now he put on a serious façade.

"Perhaps it's because Jiang Cheng has had a lot of worries lately, so—he's burning with anger, and it just so happened that I appeared before him at the right moment, so he unhesitatingly dumped all those grudges onto me."

"I can also understand that he indeed has a lot to handle recently; it's normal for his body to feel off for a while." He appeared understanding, standing beside and saying all kinds of nice things about Jiang Cheng.

This boss simply wouldn't believe

Who exactly is this talk trying to fool?

Just by looking at this guy's eyes, you can tell that what he's spouting now is purely to deceive others.

So.

This boss simply refuses to believe.

"Alright, let's stop here; there's no need to dwell on it anymore. Anyway, it's already over, and even talking about it is pointless." The boss knew that nothing this guy said could be believed; pressing further would yield the same result.

Saying too much just amounts to the relationship between brother and the two of them.

Better to leave it at that.

The man let out a sigh of relief.

Especially upon seeing this boss finally stop pressing further, he felt as if a great weight had been lifted, his whole body relaxing considerably.

As long as he doesn't keep pressing further, that's fine.

Otherwise he'd still have to come up with a bunch of excuses to explain.

Moreover—

He didn't realize that the anger he couldn't hide in his eyes had long been obvious to everyone.

The boss also muttered to himself, wondering whether this guy could truly be trusted; but after thinking it over, he felt he ought to be more cautious, lest he really be taken in by him, which would be disastrous!

He was relatively cautious.

Afterward, he also had people secretly continue investigating this guy's affairs, and as soon as there was any news, they were to report it to him immediately and in full detail.

At that time. The subordinates were respectful.

They promised to deliver the information they gathered as quickly as possible, informing him immediately.

As for Jiang Cheng's side, hearing about what the other party had done, Jiang Cheng didn't find it surprising.

"This guy is too much—I never expected him to turn around and start cooperating with others! The key is, he even deliberately smeared you; you say he isn't disgusting enough?" The subordinates began to voice their grievances.

They held particularly strong opinions.

Just thinking about that guy's ugly face made them unable to tolerate it any longer.

Clearly he's the one who made the mistake, so how can he have the nerve to then forcibly shift the blame onto others?

Moreover—

Those guys actually believed his nonsensical lies so easily—this must be because they have a few screws loose!

The subordinates cursed and swore.

Jiang Cheng glanced at them and said with a cheerful laugh.

"It's just a few small matters; I'm not even that angry, so why are you angrier than I am?" Jiang Cheng laughed cheerfully.

Jiang Cheng, who had long anticipated this, was not surprised.

!

Jiang Cheng had long held everything under his control; as for that person's disgusting behavior, Jiang Cheng merely smiled.

The subordinates said indignantly.

"Isn't it just because the other party spouts lie after lie? Or even because they're pulling disgusting tricks?" They said righteously: "I know you, boss, don't mind, but we really have no way to not care."

"You treat us sincerely; we see all your efforts, so naturally we can't just let them bully you without restraint." Their words blurted out, all of them angrily speaking up for Jiang Cheng.

Just thinking about it, they constantly feel a suffocating sensation in their chests, and there's really no way to endure it.

Really unpleasant!

Jiang Cheng said indifferently: "Alright, he's just a minor player; no matter how capable he is, it's still just that."

"Besides, there's no need to specially worry about this guy; he can't stir up any waves."

Jiang Cheng doesn't care.

As far as Jiang Cheng is concerned, even if this guy's methods were even more formidable, how much more formidable could they really be?

Moreover

That boss, his ability isn't strong; even if all the opportunities were handed to him to deal with Jiang Cheng, with his mere three-legged cat kung fu it's obvious that the end result would only be him becoming a defeated underling of Jiang Cheng.

It's just a piece of trash.

Trash belongs in the trash heap—what else can it do?

Jiang Cheng said: "Enough, stop paying attention to that guy's business. How's the other matter I had you look into coming along?"

"This matter is very important to me—don't go messing around randomly!"

He reminded them.

His subordinates were respectful.

They said: "As of now, everything is under our control; moreover—the other party has indeed become much more restrained lately compared to before; at least, they're no longer as overbearing as before!"

Also, many of the partners who had previously agreed to cooperate with him have now started to back out. It seems they don't intend to continue working with him, likely because they fear that if things keep escalating, the fallout for them would be bad.

Those guys are actually savvy—they actually chose to pull out at the most crucial moment!

I bet Sun Guangqi will be pissed off to death, huh? (End of chapter)
