Chapter 109: Cheng Daqiang's Thoughts

"Let him in."

Yun Yubing spoke a command, her voice still cool.

The secretary responded and left.

Yun Yubing turned around and looked out the window again.

Sunlight fell on her, outlining her graceful figure.

A playful curve lifted at the corner of her mouth.

This game seemed to be getting more and more interesting.

……

Outside the Dijiang Group Building, Cheng Daqiang paced back and forth anxiously.

His corpulent figure, dressed in a designer suit, looked somewhat out of place.

Fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead, and he kept wiping them with a handkerchief.

The sun baked the ground, and the asphalt seemed about to melt.

Cheng Daqiang felt like a fat pig being roasted over fire, oil seeping from his whole body.

He was deeply annoyed.

Had he known, he should have worn a short‑sleeve; this damned weather!

He looked up at the towering Di Jiang Building, a flash of greed passing through his eyes.

He came here for the Gaoxin District Construction Project.

This project was a big piece of juicy meat! He was unwilling, having been kicked out by Cheng Tianci.

After all, he knew clearly that whoever could complete this project would become the power behind the Cheng Family, and that might be him.

How could Cheng Daqiang be content with that?

He had long regarded himself as the heir of the Cheng Family,

How could Cheng Tianci snatch away what belonged to him?

So, without Cheng Tianci's knowledge, he secretly went to the Di Jiang Group, hoping to meet Yun Yubing.

He wanted Yun Yubing to know that he, Cheng Daqiang, was the most capable person in the Cheng Family!

He intended to wrest back everything that belonged to him from Cheng Tianci's hands!

The more Cheng Daqiang thought, the more excited he became, his plump body trembling slightly.

He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms.

At that moment, the Di Jiang Group's main doors opened.

A female secretary in a professional suit stepped out.

"May I ask, are you Mr. Cheng Daqiang?"

The female secretary asked, her voice crisp and pleasant.

Cheng Daqiang was startled and quickly nodded.

"Yes, it's me."

He replied, a hint of flattery in his voice.

"President Yun, please come in."

The female secretary said, stepping aside to make a path.

Cheng Daqiang felt ecstatic, and hurriedly followed the female secretary into the Di Jiang Group.

Inside the building, the air conditioning was abundant.

Cheng Daqiang felt as if he had moved from hell to heaven.

He greedily breathed the icy air, feeling completely refreshed.

The female secretary escorted Cheng Daqiang by elevator to the top floor.

The elevator doors opened, revealing a spacious corridor.

Off both sides of the corridor were offices of various departments.

Employees worked busily, the clatter of keyboards rising and falling.

Cheng Daqiang curiously surveyed his surroundings, envy flashing in his eyes.

This is the Di Jiang Group!

Truly impressive!

The female secretary led Cheng Daqiang to the doorway of an office.

"President Yun, Cheng Daqiang has arrived."

The female secretary knocked, respectfully reporting.

"Please come in."

A cool voice came from inside.

The female secretary pushed the door open, indicating Cheng Daqiang to enter.

Cheng Daqiang took a deep breath and stepped into the office.

The office was spacious and bright, its decor luxurious.

Behind a massive desk sat an exquisitely beautiful woman.

It was Yun Yubing.

She wore a black professional suit, looking especially capable,

Cheng Daqiang glanced once and was stunned by Yun Yubing's beauty.

He stood there dumbfounded, forgetting to speak for a moment.

Yun Yubing lifted her gaze and looked at Cheng Daqiang.

A trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.

"What do you want from me?"

Yun Yubing spoke, her voice cold and devoid of any feeling.

Cheng Daqiang snapped back to his senses, quickly nodding and bowing.

"I…"

He stammered, at a loss for how to answer.

The prepared excuse vanished completely when he saw Yun Yubing.

Yun Yubing looked at Cheng Daqiang, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes.

"If you have nothing else, please leave."

She said that, lowered her head, and continued handling the documents.

Seeing this, Cheng Daqiang suddenly became anxious.

"Chief Yun, I have something—an important matter to tell you!"

Yun Yubing lifted her gaze, looking at Cheng Daqiang.

"What exactly is it?"

Her voice was very impatient.

"It's about the Gaoxin District Construction Project."

Cheng Daqiang replied hastily.

"The Gaoxin District Construction Project?"

Yun Yubing's slender eyebrows twitched slightly, her tone carrying a hint of doubt.

"Hasn't the Cheng Group already signed a cooperation agreement?"

"That was signed by my second uncle Cheng Tianci; he cannot represent the Cheng Family!"

Cheng Daqiang quickly explained.

"Oh?"

A flicker of amusement flashed in Yun Yubing's eyes.

"Then what do you want?"

"I want to renegotiate the cooperation with you."

Cheng Daqiang gathered his courage,

"My second uncle is short‑sighted and doesn't understand the true value of this project at all."

He began to denigrate Cheng Tianci,

"Only I can lead the Cheng Group, together with the Di Jiang Group, to make this project a success!"

Cheng Daqiang spoke arrogantly without shame.

Yun Yubing quietly stared at Cheng Daqiang, saying nothing.

The office fell into a silence.

Cheng Daqiang felt uneasy inside.

He didn't know what Yun Yubing was thinking.

Could she not believe him?

"Chief Yun, everything I'm saying is true; I'm a hundred times stronger than my second uncle!"

Cheng Daqiang emphasized again.

Yun Yubing finally spoke.

"On what basis do you think I'd cooperate with you?"

She asked, her tone tinged with a hint of sarcasm.

"I…"

Cheng Daqiang was at a loss for words,

before he came, he only thought about how to snatch the project from Cheng Tianci's hands.

but he never considered why Yun Yubing would want to cooperate with him.

In the spacious office, the atmosphere was stagnant, as if the air had stopped moving.

Cheng Daqiang's forehead beaded with fine sweat, his heart hanging in midair, unable to settle.

"I…"

He opened his mouth, but his throat felt blocked, unable to speak. He racked his brain, searching for any possible reason.

Cheng Daqiang clenched his teeth and finally made up his mind.

"Chief Yun, there is something you don't know: my father, Cheng Tianyi—he… he is the Chairman of the Cheng Group!"

Yun Yubing's lips curled into a faint, ambiguous smile, both mocking and disdainful.

Her slender fingers lightly tapped the desk, producing a crisp sound that rang especially clear in the silent office.

"Oh?"

"Is that so?"

Yun Yubing casually picked up a document on the desk, flipped it open gently, and her gaze landed on a page.

"To my knowledge, the Chairman of the Cheng Group does not appear to be Mr. Cheng Tianyi."

She slowly lifted her gaze, looking at Cheng Daqiang, her eyes sharp as knives, and handed the document to him.

"This equity statement details the Cheng Group's shareholding structure."

You can take a look.

Cheng Daqiang trembled as they took the document, their eyes scanning the text, their complexion slightly changed.

The document clearly wrote: Cheng Tianyi, shareholding ratio, twenty percent. But it is not the Chairman.

This document is not complete.

My father, Cheng Tianyi, is the true ruler of Cheng Group!

Cheng Daqiang bit his teeth and spoke the secret hidden deep in his heart.
