Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 293 - 31: The Disabled Tycoon’s Ex-Wife Refuses to Be a Scapegoat (31)
Jiang’s mother observed Jiang Ruantian’s expression, and although there was still guilt and heartache, now there was even more disappointment.
Even though Jiang Lai is a bit spoiled, at the very least she knows who treats her well and knows how to be grateful.
"Your father is coming back, stop crying."
Upon hearing that Father Jiang was coming back, Jiang Ruantian wiped her tears and calmed down a bit.
Because unlike Jiang’s mother, crying in front of Father Jiang would be useless and might even be met with disdain.
After dinner, Father Jiang would usually spend some time in the study, and Jiang Ruantian followed closely behind.
"Dad, Mo Zhoujing and I have discussed it and plan to get married once I graduate."
Father Jiang waved his hand.
"You don’t need to tell me these things; you’re an adult now and can make your own decisions."
"Dad, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but wouldn’t it be better for the Jiang Family if I marry Mo Zhoujing? Compared to Zhao Sili, Mo Zhoujing could provide us with more resources."
Father Jiang looked at Jiang Ruantian with helplessness.
"So you’re considering marrying Mo Zhoujing because of the Jiang Family?"
Jiang Ruantian lowered her head, using silence to replace her answer.
"The Jiang Family doesn’t need you to sacrifice your happiness for resources. Since this is your thought, I’ll just call Mo Zhoujing to call off this marriage. Don’t worry, you do whatever you want, and I’ll handle Mo Zhoujing."
Seeing Father Jiang really about to pick up the phone, Jiang Ruantian hastily grabbed his hand, urgently saying.
"Dad, it’s partly for the Jiang Family, but I do genuinely like Mo Zhoujing as well. Dad, I hope you can give me your blessing."
"Like? You’ve hardly met him a few times, and you like him? What’s there about him that appeals to you girls?"
With his disabled legs and unpredictable temper, not to mention his age, aside from being rich, what else about him is attractive to young girls?
Jiang Ruantian clenched her teeth, knowing that she wouldn’t let Father Jiang ruin the chance she painstakingly obtained. She intended to use this to evoke Father Jiang’s sympathy and heartache, but she didn’t expect him to respond like this, leaving her in a difficult position where she could only press on.
"He’s outstanding, successful in his career, and there are many women who like him, so I must marry him. It’s just that... Dad, I’m worried that I might not be good enough for him because of our differences."
"If you’re not good enough, then don’t get married. There are plenty of young men; you don’t need Mo Zhoujing."
Jiang Ruantian was completely at a loss. Could Father Jiang not see it, or was he just pretending to be oblivious all along?
First, she got no benefit from Jiang’s mother, and now Father Jiang simply won’t budge. Jiang Ruantian was utterly despondent, cried under her covers for a while, and finally felt better after chatting with Tao Xinzhu.
Tao Xinzhu could understand her current pain and empathized with her, felt sorry for her, and regretted her situation.
Jiang Ruantian grew sadder, anguished that Tao Xinzhu couldn’t be as wealthy as Mo Zhoujing. If he were equally successful, she wouldn’t hesitate to choose him.
At this moment, as if he could read her mind, Tao Xinzhu told her that Tao Xin Medical was soon going public.
"Really? When will it be listed?"
"If everything goes smoothly, by the end of the year, and definitely not later than next year. By then, our Tao Family will be the largest medical device company in the country."
"That’s amazing! You’re so young but already helping the company go public, so enviable."
"Silly girl, what are you envious of? A man should have accomplishments, and a Princess just needs to shop and enjoy. Don’t say silly things in front of me again, remember?"
Jiang Ruantian felt a warm sweetness in her heart and replied with a restrained smile.
"Okay."
Upon learning this news, Jiang Ruantian secretly rejoiced and began replying more frequently to Tao Xinzhu’s daily greetings, rarely thinking about Mo Zhoujing.
By the end of November, the complete renovation of Tao Xin Medical was finished, and a new batch of products was about to launch. They even arranged a grand new product presentation, hosted by Tao Xinzhu.
Everything was ready, but the night before the launch, Tao Xinzhu was too excited to sleep.
He fantasized about the surge in sales after the new product’s release, the company going public by the year’s end, and those who once looked down on him being trampled underfoot.
Especially Jiang Lai, who always looked down on him because the Jiang Family was wealthier. After tomorrow, he would show her... 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
The ringing phone interrupted his fantasies.
"There’s a big problem!! Have you seen the news?!"
"What news? What’s wrong?"
On the other end was his father’s trembling, angry voice.
"Didn’t you say you bought the most advanced foreign technology?! We’ve poured everything into upgrading the new equipment, and now?! Guangjing Medical started selling half a month ago!!
The exact same equipment! The exact same technology! They’ve occupied the market half a month ago!!"
Tao Xinzhu felt his brain go blank, his legs froze in place, and after a long moment, he swallowed hard, clutching his hair with one hand.
"Dad, clarify, Guangjing Medical started selling the same equipment half a month ago?"
"What do you think?! Now what do we do?! Tell me what to do with our stock now!"
After hanging up, Tao Xinzhu frantically searched for news on Guangjing Medical on his phone.
Sure enough, the previously quiet Guangjing Medical suddenly launched their new products half a month ago, and they were exactly the same as the new products he had painstakingly led his team to develop over several months!
Over half a month, they’ve almost captured the entire domestic market, and their prices are even slightly lower than what he had budgeted!
Tao Xinzhu panicked completely; he never expected a domestic medical company to beat him to the punch. He even felt like storming into Guangjing Medical’s CEO office to question why they plagiarized their new technology.
But they had a half-month head start; no matter what, Tao Xin Medical was lagging by half a month!
The hospitals and related medical institutions they had previously contacted were now silent; there was no response.
When they called one by one to ask, they found out those institutions had already been using Guangjing Medical’s equipment for over ten days!
Tao Xinzhu collapsed into his office chair, unable to recover his senses for a long time. In just a few minutes, it felt like his life had been halved; he was pale, no longer full of the vigor he once had.
Now, the high-priced upgraded equipment couldn’t even sell at low prices. Cost was a barrier; Tao Xin Medical couldn’t sell at a loss, and they couldn’t win a price war against Guangjing Medical. A large batch of stock was now piled up, with daily maintenance at a high cost.
As it was, Tao Xin Medical’s financial chain completely broke down.
Two months passed, and Mike called Tao Xinzhu on time.
