Chapter 409: Wait for me!

Jiang Cheng wasn't surprised by the cancellation of cooperation.

Over the past year, there have been big and small cooperations, but whenever talks reach the final step, something always goes wrong.

Once an accident happens, the cooperation between both sides ends there.

——

Although the other party was angry, they had nothing to say.

Who is he?

He himself knows best.

For someone like him, Jiang Cheng would actually want to cooperate? That would be strange.

However, he is quite unwilling.

He harbors deep resentment, his anger burning.

"Jiang Cheng!"

He gritted his teeth, anger burning.

"Wait for me!"

The big boss, whose teeth were grinding, felt his resentment toward Jiang Cheng increase even more.

He couldn't hold back.

Still in the restaurant, he gave vent to his anger.

A group of people just stared at him.

Jiang Cheng also seemed to notice something, his gaze unconsciously falling toward the front.

"He seems to be insulting you?"

The subordinate didn't hear it very clearly, but vaguely seemed to have heard those two words, 'wait'.

He probably wants Jiang Cheng to wait, and won't let Jiang Cheng have an easy time, right?

The subordinate snorted, "With his ability, still wanting you to wait? He's pushing his luck." He muttered while shaking his head, really disdainful.

"Yeah."

Jiang Cheng leisurely poured himself a cup of tea, lounged on the sofa, casually glanced outside a couple of times, then withdrew his gaze.

He also couldn't help laughing: "This guy is indeed arrogant; I'm still here, yet he can't wait to throw shade and even wants to oppose me."

"Well then, I want to see what abilities he actually has." Jiang Cheng grew more curious; after his words fell, he stood up, not intending to stay long.

The subordinate still felt unconvinced: "I think he's really unpleasant to look at; otherwise..."

He gestured with his hand, meaning: "Can we quickly take care of this guy?"

"Let's make a move secretly!"

Jiang Cheng definitely wouldn't agree.

"Not coming!"

Jiang Cheng said: "Such a crazy thing, I don't want to do it."

"After being harshly refused by Jiang Cheng, the subordinate looked listless: 'Isn't this for your own good? After all, the situation is so special now; I also find him unpleasant, which is why I had this sudden idea.'"

"What you're thinking of are illegal criminal acts; if we really did them, my company could be destroyed overnight, all our efforts wasted—do you think I'd do that?"

"Of course not!"

He's not some problematic person; he definitely wouldn't pull this stunt.

"Isn't it good to be a law-abiding, respected person?"

"Must we imitate some people and cause chaos?"

If we cause chaos, we'll truly have to watch our company be destroyed here; moreover, all his efforts would come to nothing overnight.

Jiang Cheng naturally wouldn't let these things affect his profits.

He refused.

"Remember, no matter when, even if you're at a dead end, you're not allowed to do this. Once you take the first step, your future will only keep sinking deeper, and in this lifetime you'll never be able to climb out of this mire." Jiang Cheng looked at him, reminding his subordinate.

"You've been by my side for a while; you're also a smart person, I think you wouldn't act so recklessly." Jiang Cheng looked at him, reminding his subordinate.

The subordinate stayed silent for a second, then, somewhat unwilling, nodded twice.

"I understand." The subordinate said: "Boss, what you said is absolutely right; I really was being immature."

"You actually dare to covet anything!"

He's really gone mad.

"These matters are so serious, yet he dares to think this way—what's the difference from being mad?"

Jiang Cheng's gaze was deep, his face tense as he sized up the subordinate with two glances.

"Remember what I told you: if you dare to cause trouble, I will very likely have you removed from my company immediately and report it to the police."

"If you don't want to cause trouble, then restrain yourself and don't stir up these things." Jiang Cheng said sternly, continually reminding him.

The subordinate didn't dare say anything else, only daring to nod respectfully before Jiang Cheng.

"I understand, boss."

He spoke obsequiously: "Rest assured, I will definitely not go back on my word and deceive you about the matters you entrusted." His promise was sincere; he really didn't dare to cause trouble.

Just thinking that he might be doomed, he truly felt fear inside.

Moreover, Jiang Cheng's words kept reminding him: absolutely cannot act recklessly.

！

"Let's go, boss; I'll send you home."

……

The journey home isn't far.

About half an hour later, Jiang Cheng smoothly arrived home.

Even before the door was opened, Su Manyao had already swung it open, peeking out her small head, her face flushed pink.

Jiang Cheng glanced, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

A hint of alcohol lingered on him.

Jiang Cheng furrowed his brows, "You've been drinking?"

"Mm."

Su Manyao's eyes sparkled, "I'm feeling a bit happy today, so I wanted to take advantage of this wonderful day to celebrate properly!"

"Oh?"

Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow, quite curious, "Why don't you tell me?"

"Of course!"

Su Manyao flung the door wide open, pulling Jiang Cheng inside, "Let me tell you, I landed a big deal today! All in all, I made ten million!"

Su Manyao excitedly lifted her chin, hoping to earn Jiang Cheng's praise.

Jiang Cheng laughed helplessly, reached out, and gently pinched Su Manyao's nose tip.

"Really? Then you're truly amazing!"

"My wife, no wonder you're a strong woman—any little problem is no match for you!"

"That's only natural!"

Su Manyao said gleefully, "My ability isn't simple to begin with; being able to earn ten million in a single night can only mean I'm especially talented!"

"They chose to invest in me—it's absolutely the most correct decision they've ever made in their lives!" Su Manyao, far from being stingy with self-praise, launched right into a heavy round of self-compliment.

In just a few words, the excitement was palpable.

Watching Su Manyao after she'd gotten drunk, this adorable look made Jiang Cheng like her more and more.

"You're absolutely right; they chose to invest in you—it's the most correct decision they've ever made in their lives." Jiang Cheng also chimed in from the side, "But you'd better watch out—don't let yourself be fooled."

"How could I possibly be fooled?"

Su Manyao puffed her lips slightly, "My ability isn't as bad as you think, okay?"

"Besides, regarding that company, from the start I especially did a thorough search of all its data and information. Moreover, I had previously tried several times to go talk to the other side about cooperation, but— it just never went smoothly!"

"It's indeed because a few small matters earlier delayed things, making it impossible to proceed smoothly."
