Chapter 2 You're Not Bad Too
"A new trick?" Jiang Ning smiled faintly, her tone cold. "Mr. Cheng, if you don't need your ears, just donate them! I was blind before, that's why I mistook you for gold. Now that my eye disease is cured, please sign the papers immediately!"
Cheng Zijun squinted.
installed!
Jiang Ning is definitely faking it.
Otherwise, Jiang Ning wouldn't be so calm; she was simply trying to attract my attention with this method!
Thinking of Jiang Ning's underhanded methods, Cheng Zijun felt disgusted. He signed the divorce agreement as quickly as possible and said coldly, "See you at the Civil Affairs Bureau at eight o'clock on Monday morning!"
Today is Friday. The Civil Affairs Bureau is closed on Saturdays and Sundays.
The divorce agreement was in duplicate. After receiving one copy, Jiang Ning put it directly into her bag and put it away. She looked at Cheng Zijun with a cold gaze, as if she were looking at a stranger.
"I will be there on time."
Almost everyone in the room was prepared for Jiang Ning to attempt suicide.
But no one expected that Jiang Ning would turn around and leave so cleanly and decisively.
Wang Yuan narrowed her eyes and looked at Cheng Zijun. "This country girl is definitely playing hard to get! Just wait, she definitely won't go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get her divorce certificate on Monday."
Cheng Jixu, who had been silent until now, spoke up at this moment, "I don't think so."
Rather than playing hard to get, Jiang Ning seemed to have suddenly realized something.
Wang Yuan snorted coldly, "Third Uncle, you're overestimating that little village girl!" Having spent more than half a year with Jiang Ning, no one knew better than Wang Yuan how much Jiang Ning loved her precious son.
Cheng Jixu turned to look at Cheng Zijun, then asked, "Zijun, are you really determined to get a divorce? What if the company doesn't have her...?"
Cheng Jixu had heard some things about Jiang Ning from his older brother.
I also know that this grandniece-in-law is quite formidable.
When his older brother was bedridden, he held his hand and told him that if Cheng Zijun ever acted foolishly and tried to divorce Jiang Ning, he must stop him.
Cheng Zijun's sudden decision to divorce has made Cheng Jixu very uneasy.
Thinking of this, Cheng Jixu carefully considered his words before continuing, "Zijun, the Cheng Group has already suffered a major blow and can't withstand any more setbacks! Moreover, the group is currently in a crucial stage of growth. Without her, are you still confident that you can win the Sky Award?"
Cheng's Group mainly focuses on the research and development of online games.
The Sky Award is the highest award in the gaming industry and the ultimate honor for game developers.
Whether the Cheng family can completely defeat its rivals and go international depends on whether they can win the Sky Award.
But at this critical juncture, Cheng Zijun actually wants to divorce Jiang Ning!
This made Cheng Jixu very worried.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zijun was filled with rage and looked up at Cheng Jixu, "Second Uncle, in your heart, am I not even as good as a little village girl?"
Cheng Zijun never believed that the Cheng Group's ability to turn the tide was truly due to Jiang Ning standing behind him.
Besides revising his proposals and reviewing documents on a daily basis, what else does Jiang Ning do?
He's a top student in the Finance Department of A University, how could he be inferior to a country girl?
Jiang Ning is gone, but he will only make the Cheng Group even better!
Cheng Jixu frowned slightly, his words filled with worry, "Although Jiang Ning comes from an ordinary background, her business acumen is unmatched by most people."
Upon hearing Cheng Jixu's words, Wang Qingke's face was full of sarcasm.
"Business talent? What business talent could a country bumpkin possibly have?" Wang Qingke scoffed. "Grandpa Cheng, you're getting senile! The truly talented one is my brother, the one who pulled the Cheng Group back from the brink of collapse! What does that country bumpkin have to do with it? She didn't even finish high school. Do you really expect her to be able to support the Cheng Group? Besides, don't forget, my brother's latest proposal has even won Ninth Master's approval! Forget about the Sky Award, my brother might even become the first person in City A to cooperate with the Shen Group!"
Master Shen.
He was only thirty years old, yet he was already a big shot at the top of China's conglomerate world.
Simultaneously.
He is also the prince charming in the hearts of all unmarried girls in China.
Wang Qingke was no exception.
Cheng Zijun's latest proposal has been praised by Master Shen, which is enough to demonstrate just how dazzling Cheng Zijun's business acumen is.
Upon hearing Wang Qingke's words, Cheng Zijun was instantly filled with a sense of superiority.
Correct.
He's a prodigy even praised by Ninth Master himself; his future is destined to be brilliant.
Wang Yuan nodded in agreement. Her niece was right. Jiang Ning hadn’t even finished high school, so where did he get his business talent from?
Now that the Cheng Group is on the right track, letting Jiang Ning stay in the Cheng Group would only be a hindrance!
Thinking of this, Wang Yuan looked at Cheng Jixu and said, "Second Uncle, this is our family matter after all. If you think Jiang Ning has business talent and it's a pity that she divorced Zijun, why don't you bring Jiang Ning back with you? Anyway, Zitao is still single."
Cheng Zitao is Cheng Jixu's only grandson. After graduating from university, he has been mediocre and unsuccessful, a stark contrast to Cheng Zijun.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Jixu's expression changed. Was he suggesting that Cheng Zitao marry the woman Cheng Zijun had rejected?
What does Wang Yuan mean by this?
"Alright, alright, since you two have made up your minds, then this old man won't do anything that would annoy people," Cheng Jixu said, then looked at Cheng Zijun and said solemnly, "Zijun, I hope you won't regret it later!"
Regret?
Cheng Zijun's eyes were full of disdain.
He'd be overjoyed to divorce someone like Jiang Ning, so why would he regret it? Besides, he now has such an excellent plan in his hands!
As long as they can successfully sign a contract with the Shen family using that plan, City A will belong to the Cheng family from now on!
**
It was late at night.
Jiang Ning was walking on the empty road with her bag on her back. She had just taken out her phone from her pocket to call a ride-hailing car when she suddenly heard faint cries for help coming from not far away.
"Help!"
"Help!"
"......"
Jiang Ning's ears twitched slightly, and she quickly locked onto the direction of the sound source, then ran over quickly.
Following the sound, they ran into a dark alley and saw several thugs bullying a girl.
The girl's clothes were torn.
Her snow-white skin was exposed, appearing particularly dazzling under the streetlights.
"stop!"
Jiang Ning roared angrily.
The bullied girl immediately looked up.
Then I saw a slender figure appear in front of me. She was standing against the light, wearing a baseball cap, and had a cool posture. Although I couldn't see her face, she looked like a hero.
The girl was instantly filled with hope, crying out, "Help, help me!"
The thugs turned around at that moment, and seeing that the newcomer was another girl, one of the tattooed men leered, "Hey, another one's come knocking! Brothers, we're in for a treat tonight!"
Upon hearing this, the other thugs all laughed maliciously.
"Let her go," Jiang Ning then said.
The tattooed man's eyes gleamed with a lewd light. "What if I don't let go?"
As he spoke, he even touched the girl's chest.
Without wasting words, Jiang Ning leaped into the air. In the blink of an eye, her skills were superb, and her attacks were swift and ruthless!
Before the girl could even react, half of the seven or eight thugs had already fallen to the ground.
Seeing that half of his brothers had fallen, the tattooed man pulled out a fruit knife he was carrying and held it to the girl's neck, his eyes bloodshot as he shouted, "Don't come any closer! Otherwise, otherwise I'll kill her!"
The girl's face, which had finally calmed down, turned deathly pale in an instant. She could feel that her skin had been cut by the sharp blade.
Some pain.
Jiang Ning had just been reborn, and her five senses were still slowly recovering. The original owner's physical condition was not very good to begin with, and she had just used up almost all her strength.
Just as Jiang Ning was pondering what to do, a pebble flew from the other end of the alley and hit the tattooed man directly in the leg.
Snapped!
The tattooed man felt a piercing pain in his knee and collapsed to his knees. At that moment, a figure as swift as the wind joined in. The man was as tall as a jade tree, wearing a white shirt with the cuffs casually rolled up, revealing his strong and muscular forearms.
He was very skilled; in just a few moves, the thugs fell one after another.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jiang Ning immediately walked up to the girl, took off his coat, and draped it over her shoulders to cover her exposed skin. He said gently, "Don't be afraid, it's alright."
Her voice was like the warm sun in winter, dispelling the chill and bringing a sense of security. The girl felt all the fear that had enveloped her vanish, and she hugged Jiang Ning tightly, sobbing, "Thank you..."
If it weren't for Jiang Ning, she would have been ruined by these thugs tonight.
boom!
As the last thug fell to the ground, the man took out a handkerchief from his suit trouser pocket and carefully wiped away non-existent dust from his hands. The cool moonlight cast a silvery glow on his face.
He lowered his eyes slightly, his somewhat cool gaze falling on Jiang Ning. His deep, magnetic voice was very pleasant to listen to. "Not bad."
Jiang Ning slightly raised her eyes.
In an instant, it fell into a pair of deep phoenix eyes.
The man had an exceptionally handsome face, radiant and refined, with an air of nobility in his eyes and brows, even more aloof than the moonlight.
Their eyes met.
His gaze was piercing, like a beast lurking in the darkness, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment, his sharp eyes carrying a hint of coldness and ruthlessness.
But she showed no fear, meeting his gaze openly and speaking in a soft tone, "You're alright too."
Isn't she afraid of him?
The man was clearly taken aback for a moment.
