Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 298 - 36: The Disabled Tycoon’s Ex-Wife Refuses to Be a Scapegoat (36)
Then Mike wore a mysterious expression.
"And guess what he wants to do?"
"Buy you off."
"Well, you’re really smart to figure it out beforehand. Now, guess how I replied to him?"
Jiang Lai smiled.
"The fact that you’re sitting here means he didn’t offer enough, you told him to add more, and he refused."
Mike looked amazed.
"Did you bug me? How else could you know what we talked about?"
"Yes, you should be cautious; I know everything you do inside and out."
Mike couldn’t help but feel a chill on his back, but recalling Jiang Lai’s personality, he eased his mind. Anyway, he was making money, regardless of how she used him.
This woman is cruel and ruthless. She would ruin a company with decades of friendships whenever she wanted. Now she’s trying to trick her own father’s business into her hands. Comparing himself to her, he really couldn’t live up to the title "hyena."
"Mo Zhoujing lost a big deal now, and he’s targeting me. You better find a way to protect me; I want to make it to next year’s Christmas, and not die inexplicably in a foreign land."
Jiang Lai nodded, suddenly changed the subject.
"Four players from my invested team have already played in the World Cup."
"I know, that young player I wasn’t optimistic about before, now his value is close to one hundred million euros. Jiang Lai, you’re going to make a fortune again."
Holding so many popular players, she’s sure to have a seat among the world sponsors, a coveted advertising space by other companies that Jiang Lai easily snatched.
"Pick any you want."
"Any? Even the most expensive one?"
"Pick any, the most expensive is fine too."
Mike’s eyes lit up, unable to look away from Jiang Lai.
"Lucky I chose to cooperate with you, or now, the one crying might be me."
"I only exploit those useful to me, you? Save it."
"What about Mo Zhoujing, aren’t you always targeting him?"
"It’s a personal vendetta, purely because I find him distasteful."
Mike wasn’t immensely curious, and Jiang Lai wouldn’t elaborate further. They discussed the next development plans for South City, and that night Jiang Lai called Father Jiang.
"I got a new project, short on staff, Jiang Construction currently has no big projects, right? Just let me use it."
Father Jiang, who’s having a meeting at Jiang Construction, was much calmer upon hearing his daughter’s arrogant words.
"What project are you pulling? Do you know how many workers Jiang Construction has?"
"One thousand three hundred and forty-seven employees, plus nearly two thousand with outsourcing."
"You’re even clearer than I am." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
"After all, they’ll all be mine in the future, need to get familiar early."
Father Jiang felt a moment of suffocation but calmed down after a deep breath.
"What are you up to out there..."
"South City’s new district development project, you know we’re on the bid list. Too bad we were eliminated from the start.
Now the project is in my hands."
Father Jiang clutched his ear.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Come and see for yourself. This project requires high company qualifications, so I acquired a construction company. Now that I’m short-handed, it’s your chance to cooperate with me."
An hour later, Father Jiang looked at the patch of land ready for development, dreamy-faced at Jiang Lai, his gaze more of awe towards a strong figure than a father looking at his daughter, with even a hint of humility.
"Lai Lai...no, President Jiang, are you really partnering with Jiang Construction on this project?"
"Just call me Little Jiang President; you are President Jiang after all. Jiang and Jiang partnering to earn money together is ideal; once this area is built, we can move in. See that Jiang River over there? Opening the door, we can see the city’s landmark."
Once the contract was signed, Father Jiang finally realized his daughter really secured the city’s largest investment and construction project to date; even getting that land cost over seven billion.
He distinctly remembered Mo Zhoujing claimed that land; how did it end up with Jiang Lai?
Father Jiang’s mind was filled with questions, but he felt awkward asking, as if he hadn’t experienced big things.
Jiang’s Architecture is a company within the group with a fairly standard development, having never bagged any significant projects. Thanks to Jiang Lai, they now could participate in new area development.
"My capabilities are evident; next up, let me manage Jiang Financial, doesn’t Jiang Family produce financials anyway."
"Alright."
Father Jiang agreed eagerly, filled with excitement for Jiang Family’s imminent rise.
He’s truly aged but fortunate to have a good daughter, preventing Jiang Family, an old brand, from being suppressed by young people like Mo Zhoujing.
On the day Jiang Financial was established, on the Jiang River cruise, Father Jiang planned to directly appoint Jiang Lai as general manager.
Tao Xinzhu received an invitation from Jiang Ruantian the day before, as Father Jiang only announced an internal dinner externally, and those attending were close to Jiang Family, with related media reporters present.
Not long after receiving the invitation, Tao Xinzhu got a call from an unknown number, half an hour later, he was in the Hang Yuan Group chairman’s office.
"Speak frankly; I might help you start afresh. If you lie, I don’t mind bankrupting Tao Xin."
Mo Zhoujing wasted no words, straight to the point.
"Before pledging Tao Xin shares, who invested in you?"
"Jiang Lai, she paid for me to pledge 3% of the shares, later I borrowed money from a foreign investor to pay her back."
Mo Zhoujing sneered.
"You borrowed over a billion with 3% shares, later pledged 30% shares for over ten billion, leading to a company asset evaporation of nearly thirty billion. Who benefited behind your back?"
Tao Xinzhu didn’t want to recall; since then, he lived muddle-headed like a walking corpse, having no energy to ponder these.
"It’s Jiang Lai."
"What’s it got to do with her?"
"Without her initial investment, would you remodel and upgrade Tao Xin Medical? She dug a pit for you, waiting for you to jump in."
Tao Xinzhu seemed to vaguely understand something. His eyes widened, breathing became shallow.
"So your point is..."
"The foreign investor Mike who lent you money, is in cahoots with Jiang Lai."
