Chapter 515

"Indeed, they've been getting more and more excessive lately. On the surface they seem to treat me extremely well, but in reality they've done many disgusting things behind my back." Jiang Cheng scoffed.

Fortunately he was smart; he had sensed something was off earlier, so he sent people to investigate.

If he hadn't investigated, it would have been fine, but once he did, he uncovered so many secrets.

This bunch of people, they're all fabricating things out of thin air.

They also wanted to take the opportunity to slander Jiang Cheng and pull him down from his current position.

If it weren't for Jiang Cheng, they now…

How could they possibly make such a huge sum of money from these opportunities?

They don't even know the slightest gratitude; this bunch of people is gradually becoming useless!

And they claim to be directors of the company?

Even if they are shareholders, so what?

A bunch of utterly clueless idiots; sooner or later they'll end up with nothing!

Jiang Cheng's disdain necessarily means he looks down on them.

"Yeah, on the surface they look pretty good, but behind the scenes they do all sorts of disgusting things."

"I thought our family's relationship with them was extremely good; no matter how much time passed, the remaining people would, because of what Uncle Lin did, stop their foolish actions."

"But the truth is I oversimplified things; I thought it would ultimately be what I thought. Everything I hoped for ultimately drifted just a little away from me."

Su Manyao's eyes were filled with endless sorrow.

Regarding these shareholders' behind-the-scenes actions, he could only feel that words fail to describe it.

These people are truly idiots!

He scoffed: "Forget it, let's not talk about these unpleasant things!"

"In a few days, my father's birthday will be here."

"My father said he wants to invite you, as well as those shareholders to attend." Su Manyao extended the invitation.

Looking at Jiang Cheng, she had a smile on her face.

"If possible, I really don't want to invite this bunch of people!"

"But my father said, in life, one shouldn't be too selfish."

Hey!

Why invite such people to a birthday party?

Inviting such people, I'm afraid they'll end up messing things up terribly!

People as disgusting as them never realize their own problems, and then— they always like to pull all sorts of shady tricks behind the scenes!

Su Manyao quite dislikes them.

"Your father choosing to invite them must have his own reasons; as for us now, we just silently accept it."

"I think your father probably wants to take advantage of this birthday to really give this bunch a good talking-to, to get them to stop those foolish actions and not do such things again!"

"I just don't know whether these people will therefore restrain themselves, or whether their behavior will become even more excessive." That was Jiang Cheng's speculation.

But whether things will proceed as smoothly as he imagined remains unknown.

At this moment.

Jiang Cheng, being relatively smart, immediately guessed it.

Su Manyao's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed: "You say these people will sincerely realize their problems? They're eager to get our family's assets, which means even if we properly admonish them during this period, they might only become worse, and may not restrain themselves at all."

"My father merely, seeing that the relationships between the families have always been fairly good, wanted to properly persuade them, hence this action!"

"It's a pity that, in the end, the result still didn't turn out as wished!"

"Even if there are ideas, when faced with truly selfish and self-interested people, they won't restrain their actions because of this matter. They'll only appear to agree on the surface, but actually continue these tricks behind the scenes. What kind of people are they?"

After getting to know them over this recent period, Su Manyao had long seen through their true nature!

He simply refuses to believe what these people say!

"Indeed, that's the case."

Jiang Cheng also said: "But it's not certain; maybe there's actually someone among them who knows their behavior is problematic and thus sincerely apologizes!"

"We now just need to patiently wait; there's no need to let this matter affect our mood and state."

"It's just a trivial little thing; what's there to panic about?"

"Besides, do you think the other side's ability truly qualifies to contend with me? It's obvious that if he wants to do this against me, he'll have to rack his brains!"

"Their age keeps increasing; I wonder if they'll really be able to become my opponents in the future?" This bunch of people, so old, indeed has some capability, but only that much.

Even if they were even more formidable, how formidable could they possibly become?

With just that bit of amateurish skill, Jiang Cheng now can't even be bothered to criticize them.

With that kind of them, are they even worthy?

"Knowing you're formidable, and knowing you don't put them in your sight, I advise you: don't be too arrogant. Their strength is indeed not simple; you can indeed not put them in your sight, but——"

"They've at least been navigating the business world for several decades; over those decades their strength has gradually increased, and now they're becoming ever more formidable."

"If we therefore wanted to scheme against them, frankly speaking, that would really be quite foolish!"

"I understand your meaning, and I also know what you're saying; right now I'm also working hard to boost my own strength—rest assured, I will never let anyone bully me, no matter what."

"They'll use every possible means to deal with me; afterward I must properly repay them, for only then will they realize that painstakingly dealing with me will likely backfire in the end."

Jiang Cheng spoke very arrogantly.

But——

Every word he said made sense.

After his resounding, forceful words fell, Su Manyao lightly tapped Jiang Cheng's head: "I've noticed you've become increasingly arrogant lately; the key is—you indeed have such ability, so being arrogant a bit is quite normal."

"That is, me—I've seemed to be just treading water lately, my ability hasn't increased much either."

If this continues, I can't help but worry—will I still be able to persevere to the end later?

Suddenly, Su Manyao began to doubt her own abilities.

Especially his performance over this recent period—he's truly beyond words!

He had a headache.

He felt despair in his heart.

Until the end, he remained silent.

Jiang Cheng said: "If my strength declines, it declines; you have me by your side, and—no matter what happens, I will always be there for you."

"If you have any questions, you can ask me anytime; I will definitely help where I can. At the very least, I cannot just stand by and watch you suffer all kinds of injustices alone." (End of chapter)
