At the office…
Jiang Xing was in no mood for any meeting after Jiang Jingchen swaggered away. After he adjourned the board meeting, he went back to his office and coughed up blood.
His assistant was scared out of his wits.
He quicldy but secretly sent Jiang Xiang to the hospital.
If news got out at this time that the chairman of Jiang Corporation was sick, dysfunction was likely to emerge within the company!
When Song Yan received news about Jiang Xing’s hospitalization, she rushed to the hospital. When she saw Jiang Xing in a hospital bed, she quickly asked the doctor what was going on.
The doctor said, “It’s a relapse. He needs surgery. Mrs. Jiang, Mr. Jiang should really take time off work to recuperate. I’ll leave you two to talk it over.”
Song Yan looked at the pale Jiang Xing in a hospital bed while she listened to his assistant’s longwinded recount of what happened today and cursed, “My husband got this way because Jiang Jingchen. This b*stard Jiang Jingchen is too much!”
Jiang Xing’s assistant kept quiet. Jiang Xing’s agitated state and coughing of blood definitely had something to do with Jiang Jingchen’s behavior today.
The butler looked at the assistant worriedly and said, “Work is important but Old Master’s health is even more important. Old Master needs to recuperate. We have to figure out what to do with Jiang Corporation.”
The assistant was worried too but Jiang Xing was still alive, and they were already eyeing the company. It was a little premature, right?
Song Yan and the butler looked at each other. She asked the assistant softly to speak outside so as not to disturb her husband.
After they stepped out, Song Yan said, “My husband brought Minghua into the company to train her. My husband isn’t well now and needs to recuperate. I’m thinking that we will let Minghua take over. If Minghua needs any help, she can ask her father. Mr. Wang, what do you think?”
Jiang Xing’s assistant, Mr. Wang, took Song Yan’s words as her asking him to support Jiang Minghua.
Mr. Wang was loyal to Jiang Xing, so he hesitated. If he accepted Song Yan’s request too quickly, Jiang Xing might blame him and teach him a lesson when he recovered.
“Mrs. Jiang, don’t worry. We can discuss this with Mr. Jiang when he wakes up. I’ll do as Sir says.”
Song Yan sensed that Jiang Xing’s assistant didn’t want to help them. She looked at the butler and saw that the butler shake his head, so she didn’t say more.
Meanwhile, the sound of high heels clattering was heard in the corridor.
They looked up and saw Jiang Minghua walking over elegantly.
“Mom, how’s Dad?”
Song Yan was a little unhappy that her daughter only arrived now, but she still told her Jiang Xing’s condition.
Song Yan urged her daughter, “Say something nice to coax your father when he wakes up. Make him happy before you broach the subject about managing Jiang Corporation.”
Jiang Minghua had been waiting for this moment. She nodded with a smile. “Mom, don’t worry. I’ll persuade Dad to recuperate in peace.”
The assistant’s mouth twitched in disdain when he saw the mother and daughter chatting happily.
Mr. Jiang was seriously ill, but none of them thought to take care of him. They only cared about the management rights of Jiang Corporation. They wanted to take advantage of the situation and take over Jiang Corporation. He was quite worried about Mr. Jiang’s silver years.
When Jiang Xing woke up, Song Yan asked about his well-being before she broached the subject of work. Jiang Xing fell silent as he guessed her intentions.
“I’ll go back to work when I feel better.”
“Hubby, the doctor said that you must rest and stop stressing yourself over work. Besides, so many problems have cropped up recently at Jiang Corporation. You’ll be angry and stressed out if you continue to work.”
“For the sake of your life, please rest.” Song Yan persuaded.
Jiang Xing stared at her. “What happens to the company if I rest?”
Jiang Minghua immediately said, “Dad, I’ve joined you at the company to learn the ropes. I can help you while you recuperate. How about that?”
“You?” Jiang Xing frowned. “Why not your second brother?”
Jiang Minghua sighed. “Second Brother needs to recuperate too. He can’t worry about these things. Mingyang is still studying. I’m the only one working at the company now.”
Jiang Minghua looked at him and added, “Dad, you’re hospitalized because of Jiang Jingchen. He claimed his company shares; we can’t let him mess around and destroy the company. I must help you defend the company.”
Jiang Xing’s face changed at the mention of Jiang Jingchen and he started coughing.
Song Yan quickly patted his back to soothe him. She comforted, “Hubby, you’ve been working too hard. Let Minghua manage the company. Minghua did quite a good job managing the foundation before this.”
Jiang Xing kept quiet.
He didn’t want to hand over his management rights of Jiang Corporation.
The butler also tried to persuade him. “Old Master, you need to recuperate. You can always go back to work when your health is better. Third Young Miss studied management, so she knows something about the job. We can’t let First Young Master mess around and destroy the company, right?”
Jing Xing’s eyelashes trembled as he looked up at the butler when he heard that Jiang Jingchen might destroy the company. He couldn’t accept such an outcome.
Seeing the effectiveness of his words, the butler added quickly, “Third Young Miss can always seek your opinion before she makes any decision. You can look at it as co-management. With the help of your assistant, they can hold down the fort at Jiang Corporation. Mr. Wang, right?”
Mr. Wang felt very helpless when the butler dragged him into the conversation.
Couldn’t they just leave him out of their scheme?
He just wanted to earn a living. He didn’t want to get embroiled in their dispute over the Jiang family assets!
“I’ll do as Sir says. Whatever Sir wants me to do, I’ll do it well.”
Jiang Xing said, “Xiaowang, please help Minghua hold down the fort at Jiang Corporation and wait for my return.”
“Yes, Sir.” Mr. Wang nodded.
The butler and Song Yan looked at each other, very happy that they had achieved their goal.
When news about Jiang Xing’s hospitalization reached Jiang Jingchen’s ears, he smirked.
Back when his mother was suffering from depression, when her condition didn’t improve and got worse instead, he ignored her completely and flirted with Song Yan after work every day.
Karma was a b*tch. He’d need people to take care of him too when he was sick.
He said to Song Zhou, “Execute the final step of our plan!”
“Yes, Young Master!”
Song Zhou contacted everyone to prepare for the final move.
When Song Zhou informed Yang Hao, Yang Hao asked, “May I ask if my job is done after we take down Jiang Corporation?”
“Don’t ask me. Ask your boss.”
“Tsk, Song Zhou, I realized that you’ve become much tougher after getting married!”
“Yes. It’s all thanks to my wife’s training.”
Yang Hao vomited blood in his heart. He avoided contact with Jiang Jingchen so he wouldn’t have to listen to his words of affection about his wife, but he didn’t expect to be tortured the same way by Song Zhou.
The next day, Jiang Minghua went to Jiang Corporation to assume her position as acting chairperson and interim CEO.
The major shareholders were all very angry.
What did Jiang Xing take them for by letting a little girl run the company?
During the board meeting, they kept asking Jiang Minghua questions whenever she opened her mouth. Jiang Minghua couldn’t answer them, and her face turned red.
In the end, the meeting ended on a sour note. She suffered a setback right after she took office.
But she wouldn’t give up easily. She went to say hello to people in the secretariat and started work.
She heard from Mr. Wang that the successor of the Wen family was here.
Jiang Minghua was puzzled. Wen Sang?
The two of them had hung out when they were younger.
But Wen Sang had always followed Jiang Jingchen around and told everyone that she wanted to marry Jiang Jingchen.
Unfortunately, the good-for-nothing Jiang Jingchen was already married!
“What is she doing here?”
Mr. Wang’s expression was unreadable. “She said that she’s here to discuss a collaboration. Third Young Miss, you’d better be careful. This heir of the Wen family may have ill intentions.”
“She’s about the same age as me. How ruthless can she be? Let her in.”
Seeing Jiang Minghua’s prideful face, Mr. Wang felt helpless and invited Wen Sang in.
In his heart, he hoped that nothing would go wrong today as it is Jiang Minghua’s first day as the head honcho of Jiang Corporation.
Murphy’s law happened.. The meeting ended with Jiang Minghua wanting to kill someone!
