CHAPTER 1387: 943 FAMILY BUSINESS_2

"K.E is yours, you can do whatever you want with it."

Listen to that.

What a noble character.

And then look at some women.

They would go to great lengths to scheme against their husbands for family wealth.

Jiang Chen, of course, is not someone who goes back on his word or is petty.

Benefits can be shared but not monopolized.

With the task completed, he has already received his reward, and even if he had the thickest skin, he couldn’t possibly take back what he already gave away.

"You are the chairman of K.E."

He was brief and to the point.

"I’m just holding it on behalf."

In the face of enormous wealth that could place someone among the world’s top billionaires, Pei Yunxi seemed indifferent.

"Think about it carefully."

Jiang Chen didn’t argue further.

How could he argue?

By now, it’s probably too tangled to argue about.

"I’m heading back."

He patted his backside as he stood up, left the villa, got in the car, drove home in two or three minutes, took a shower, and went to bed.

He was indeed a bit tired.

Soon, he drifted into a dream.

In a haze, a cool, smooth body climbed into bed.

Jiang Chen naturally embraced the other person, not even opening his eyes, "I thought you weren’t coming back."

Luo Li’er wasn’t home, which meant today wasn’t the weekend, and the school wasn’t on break.

"Did you come specifically to see my graduation ceremony?"

Jiang Chen opened his eyes.

Beside him, Dong University’s untouchable campus belle from the art college had no resentment at being neglected, her affection as tender as water.

He rubbed his girlfriend’s smooth black hair in a way that made people raise their voices in admiration.

"It’s been a year now."

Indeed.

Li Shuru is about to graduate.

This year has been truly fulfilling and dreamlike.

Feeling the real warmth and touch beside him, Jiang Chen suddenly and inexplicably thought, would he wake up one day and find himself back in that maple forest?

Li Shuru lay beside him, "After I graduate, how about I become your personal assistant?"

Jiang Chen was taken aback, didn’t answer, suddenly turned over, and pressed the campus belle of Dong University beneath him, laughing wickedly and wildly.

"Let’s talk about it later."

Li Shuru, lying below, propped her hands against his chest, "We have a meeting tomorrow morning, and Luo Peng said, aren’t you very tired?"

That Luo Peng, really has no filter on his mouth.

But tired?

How can a man claim to be tired at a time like this?

"Just a bit of exercise will make the fatigue go away."

"Tickles..."

Li Shuru pushed away his hand that was pinching her waist.

What a vivid and fragrant scene.

————

The next day.

Jiang Chen drove his girlfriend to Tianci Capital, and judging by their vigor, they both had a good rest last night.

Life depends on movement.

This saying is absolutely true.

The more you exercise, the more vitality you have.

"Who said there’s a meeting? How come I didn’t get notified?"

Jiang Chen didn’t even notice what day it was. He just checked and found out it was Friday.

"Your CEO notified us last minute yesterday."

Jiang Chen chuckled silently, "This guy, afraid I might take a break."

Suddenly, he noticed his girlfriend was looking into the mirror.

"No need to look, you’re already pretty enough."

Jiang Chen smiled as he drove.

It’s normal for girls to be vain, but Li Shuru was never that kind of person.

It’s not that she’s not concerned about her appearance, it’s just two words.

Confidence.

That’s all there is to it.

This was the first time Jiang Chen noticed her doing this in public, so he felt a bit curious.

Li Shuru closed the vanity mirror in the car, "Even if I’m just a flower vase, I want to be a hardworking one."

Jiang Chen was surprised, "Who said you’re a flower vase?"

"Quite a few people in the company probably think so."

Not even graduated yet.

Already appointed as the general manager of such a big company.

Anyone would surely let their imagination run wild.

This is unavoidable.

But Li Shuru shouldn’t be the type to care about this sort of thing.

If she really minded, she would have done so long ago.

"Tell me who they are, and I’ll have Shao Geer fire all of them."

Jiang Chen was resolute, just like King Zhou of You playing tricks with the vassals.

"Li Shao is not that kind of person. Luo Peng called the meeting today, and he probably has something to do with it."

"What’s up with Shao Geer?" Jiang Chen was puzzled.

Li Shuru said, "He wants to resign."

"Resign?"

Jiang Chen was caught off guard.

Remember the humble beginnings, don’t forget each other.

Jiang Chen is indeed a grateful person. For the three roommates in his dormitory, he truly achieved the saying "when one person achieves success, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven," and entrusted them with important roles: Luo Peng became the CEO, Bai Zheli the CFO, and the dormitory leader, Li Shao, took on the role of HR Director.

It seemed like a joke, but facts proved that Jiang Chen wasn’t merely appointing based on personal connections; these fresh graduates did not let him down, excelling in their respective roles, managing Tianci Capital in an orderly manner, at least until now.

So Jiang Chen was completely unprepared for Li Shao’s sudden desire to resign, and it was hard to believe.

"Is it for real?"

"It is. Li Shao has already mentioned it to Luo Peng a few times, but he was turned down by Luo Peng."

"Why didn’t Luo Peng tell me?"

Jiang Chen frowned.

If someone else was leaving, it wouldn’t matter.

The world keeps turning no matter who leaves.

But this is Li Shao.

As the dormitory leader, he took care of them well during their four years in college, like a big brother.

"Maybe he didn’t want to disturb you."

"If he truly considers me, would he complain to you?"

Jiang Chen quickly asked, "Why? Shao Geer shouldn’t want to resign for no reason, right? Is he unhappy at work? He can change positions if that’s the case."

Li Shuru knew her boyfriend’s character well; if he can be so righteous and loyal to Ai Qian, then he’s even more so to friends who are like family.

"None of that."

Jiang Chen frowned and turned his head.

Li Shuru explained, "He feels he has let the company down and wants to resign out of guilt."

Resigning out of guilt?

Jiang Chen was caught off guard, with countless thoughts spinning through his mind.

Does it mean Li Shao abused his power for personal gain?

Absolutely impossible.

Though people can change, Jiang Chen would never believe that the honest and sincere dormitory leader would become such a person.

"What’s he guilty of?"

"Misjudging people."

"Specifics, please."

Li Shuru didn’t continue explaining, "Luo Peng will tell you when we get to the company."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen didn’t ask further and stepped on the accelerator, heading to Tianci Capital.

"Chen Ge."

Meeting room.

Bai Zheli was already there, and upon seeing Jiang Chen and Li Shuru come in, he immediately stood up and greeted them.

Jiang Chen nodded casually with a smile, "Looking sharp."

Bai Zheli smiled, now less shy, adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses.

"I thought you two might be late."

After a while, Luo Peng leisurely walked in, looking even more relaxed than Jiang Chen.

"What’s up with Shao Geer?"

Jiang Chen asked calmly.

Luo Peng glanced at Li Shuru, "I wanted to tell you yesterday, but seeing you so tired, I didn’t bring it up. Li Xue Mei, didn’t you tell him?"

"You’re the CEO, it’s best if you explain."

Li Shuru responded.

Luo Peng immediately gave a bitter smile, "Am I the CEO or the grand coordinator, everything comes to me, how can I manage it all?"

No outsiders are here, so no need to be formal.

This meeting is obviously a high-level closed-door meeting.

"General Jiang, I’m really not capable of handling this issue, you’ll have to manage it yourself."

"Chen Ge, here’s the situation: Shao Geer brought in a few department managers, and it’s been discovered they were engaged in corruption, bribery, and selling out the company’s interests. Shao Geer feels he should take some responsibility, so he approached Luo Ge to resign, but Luo Ge turned him down."

Bai Zheli narrated smoothly,

"Yes, that’s how it is."

Luo Peng nodded, "I’ve tried persuading Shao Geer many times, but he’s stubborn."

Stubborn, though not quite appropriate.

As HR Director, since the people he brought have serious issues, he can’t escape responsibility.

In other companies, they’d definitely get fired.

But Tianci Capital is a "family business."

"You all know Shao Geer’s character, can’t we handle the problem quietly when we find those people are problematic?"

As the saying goes, the bigger the forest, the more pests will appear; it’s unavoidable.

But there are many ways to solve problems.

Luo Peng smiled bitterly, "Quietly? I’d love to handle it quietly. If we use other reasons to deal with those people, Shao Geer might not feel so guilty, but the key..."

He glanced at Li Shuru, "This isn’t my responsibility."

"Your responsibility?"

Jiang Chen looked at Li Shuru.

"It’s me."

Before Li Shuru could speak, a voice came from the meeting room door.

Jiang Chen didn’t even turn his head to look, instantly stiffening there.

That voice.

He was far too familiar with it.
