Chapter 434: Are These People Courting Death?

When Jiang Jingchen heard Wu Rui’s question, he raised his eyebrows and looked at him in confusion.
“Mr. Wu, please teach me. What kind of expression should I have?”
Wu Rui frowned. “The chairman is your father, and you are also part of Jiang Corporation. Aren’t you worried if something happens to the company?”
Jiang Jingchen shrugged helplessly. “I’m just biding my time here. If the company goes bankrupt, I’ll just find another job elsewhere.”
“At the end of the day, I’m just a small potato. It’s pointless for me to worry about the company.”
Wu Rui stared at Jiang Jingchen with a frown and said with a chuckle, “First Young Master, you have quite a Zen mindset.”
“Don’t compliment me. I’ll feel like a peacock.”
This guy had the cheek to feel proud?
His family business was at the brink of bankruptcy, but he was still leisurely playing mobile games. He was truly heartless!
After watching Wu Rui leave angrily, Jiang Jingchen smiled, exited the game on his phone and called Song Zhou.
“What’s happening with Jiang Xing?”
“Jiang Xing is on his way to the subsidiary to investigate the matter. He’s planning to hire someone to make the problem go away. His people are also planning to call Ma Zhang to convince him to change his statement.”
“Young Master, Ruan Hao is also a troublemaker. He has called the police on Ma Zhang and Ma Zhang has been taken to the police station. Jiang Xing will probably secretly exert pressure and then show up with a carrot to bail Ma Zhang out. If they reach an agreement, our plan will need to change.”
Jiang Jingchen stared at his phone and didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he continued with his mobile game.
He needed time to think.
After one game was over, he said to Song Zhou, “Let’s use Ma Baomu’s name to transfer the business his family bought from Ruan Hao to a charity organization first. Then, release Ma Baomu and let him stir up trouble. Stop what you are doing now and let them fight among themselves.”contemporary romance
Song Zhou also knew that they couldn’t make any mistake now, so he was extremely cautious.
“Will do.”
Jiang Jingchen then called Yang Hao. “How are things on your end?”
“I’m working on a big project that was Wen Sang’s idea. Once we succeed, we may be able to take down Jiang Xing in one fell swoop.”
When Jiang Jingchen heard him mention the project, his beautiful brows furrowed.
Stealing trade secrets?
Only someone eager for quick success and instant gratification like Wen Sang could come up with that!
“Pretend to go along but don’t take your eye off the attacks on Jiang Xing. We must discredit Jiang Xing as quickly as possible.”
Yang Hao said, “Yes, Mr. Chen. This Wen Sang is very cunning. She’s very good at fooling people. It’s indeed prudent to work with her. The Wen family is very lucky to have her because she’s someone who can prosper the family.”
All successful businesspeople were wolves in sheep’s clothing. Wen Sang was the kind of girl who looked cute and innocent but capable of extreme ruthlessness when necessary.
Yang Hao, despite being a man, felt inferior to her.
“Keep reminding Wen Sang that if she wants to take down Jiang Xing, she must keep attacking him, blow after blow. If he finds any opportunity to counterattack, he will bite her back.”
Jiang Xing had run Jiang Corporation for so long. A seasoned person like him would have his methods and means. How else could he manage such a big company?
When it was time to get off work, Jiang Jingchen left on the dot to pick up Tang Beibei.
When he arrived at her school, she was nowhere to be seen. He called her, but no one picked up. He frowned and called Fu Jin.
Fu Jin said, “Beibei is at the admin office. Something happened.”
“What is it?”
“There was a video of an interview this morning in which a woman thanked Beibei for saving her son. But the woman changed her statement in the afternoon and maligned Beibei instead.”
“She said that Beibei had threatened her into doing the interview to gain popularity, so that her account would get more followers and she would become famous.”
“Our teacher is very angry and said that Tang Beibei is ruining the school’s reputation. He’s lecturing her now.”
Jiang Jingchen hadn’t paid any attention to the video. Song Zhou had also been busy dealing with Jiang Corporation, so he probably also didn’t have time to learn this.
Jiang Jingchen opened the social media app and saw a trending video with a very catchy title.
“For fame and glory, doctor became vlogger who steps on others to rise to the top.”
Jiang Jingchen gritted his teeth and quickened his pace to the admin office.
He could hear the teacher’s roar from outside his office.
“Tang Beibei, you must find a way to clarify this matter. You can’t ruin the reputation of all medical students. Besides, you’re Professor Chen’s student. How is Professor Chen going to stand tall after this?”
Tang Beibei said with a gloomy face, “I did save her son, but I didn’t know anything about the interview.”
The teacher sighed. “Okay, I’ll assume that you didn’t do it. But this thing has already happened. You must think of a way to salvage the situation!”
“What do you mean you’ll assume? My wife never did it!”
Jiang Jingchen walked into the office and looked at the teacher with a gloomy face.
It was the dean of the medical school.
When the dean saw him, he stood up from behind his desk.
“Young Master Jiang, why are you here?”
“Would someone have condemned my wife if I hadn’t come?”
The dean rubbed his nose awkwardly and explained helplessly, “It’s not that I want to condemn Beibei, but this thing has already happened. We must think of a way to salvage the situation. As the dean of the medical school, I don’t have any substantial evidence to defend Beibei.”
“So, you just slander my wife?”
“I… I didn’t mean that. I was just urging Beibei to come up with a solution.” The dean was also in a difficult position.
A top student recognized by the university had forced someone to speak well about her so she could gain popularity as a vlogger. It didn’t matter if she coerced the woman or not because such news would always negatively impact the school’s reputation.
Jiang Jingchen gave the dean a look and the dean stopped talking.
Although Young Master Jiang didn’t have any real power or influence, his aura was very scary.
Jiang Jingchen walked up to Tang Beibei and saw that her eyes were slightly red. He rubbed the back of her neck to comfort her.
Tang Beibei felt wronged.
She had saved Mrs. Zhang’s son out of kindness but Mrs. Zhang had slandered her on the internet. She felt terrible.
Jiang Jingchen whispered to her, “Don’t feel bad. We’ll find out exactly what happened.”
Tang Beibei held back her tears and sniffled. She said with a nod, “Yes, we must find out. I don’t believe that Mrs. Zhang would harm me.”
Jiang Jingchen couldn’t guarantee that Mrs. Zhang wouldn’t harm her.
One couldn’t judge a book by its cover.
Jiang Jingchen held her hand and said to the dean, “I’ll take my wife to investigate this matter. I’ll give you an explanation.”
The dean was more than happy to hear that. “Young Master Jiang, let me know if you need the school’s help. I’ll support Beibei.”
Jiang Jingchen ignored him and walked out of the office with Tang Beibei.
Fu Jin followed them out and asked Jiang Jingchen, “What are you going to do next?”
“Go find the woman who spoke!”
“I’ll go with you. Maybe I can help.” Fu Jin said.
Jiang Jingchen knew that Fu Jin had some tricks up his sleeve, so he didn’t refuse. The three of them got into the car and headed to the suburbs.
When they arrived at Mrs. Zhang’s house, her front gate was locked. Jiang Jingchen climbed over the fence and went in. There was no one at home.
They then went to Uncle Zhang’s house, but there was no one there too.
Fu Jin said, “This must have been premeditated. Someone set out to frame Beibei. If we can’t find her, we can’t make her change her statement.”
Jiang Jingchen laughed in frustration.
His wife minded her own business and saved someone’s life out of kindness, but she was schemed against.
Were these people courting death?
“Then we’ll keep looking!”
