24: Chapter 24 Xiong Ba_1 24: Chapter 24 Xiong Ba_1 “Uncle, how can you fight so well?”

It took a while for Jiang Meng to come back to her senses and ask a question.

“Before becoming a ride-hailing driver, Uncle was a soldier,”

Xiao Chen said with a smile.

The gentle smile eased the fear in Jiang Meng’s heart.

“Useless, truly a bunch of useless people.

Can’t even handle such a small matter and still claim to be well-trained?

Are there such wimpy well-trained fighters?”

At the Jiang Family, Jiang Dong shattered a piece of porcelain he was very fond of in his anger.

Naturally, the group of people he had sent to cause trouble were the ones he had found.

And he had spent quite a bit of money on it.

To avoid implicating himself, he didn’t even show his face and even had those guys pose as representatives of the bidding companies.

Yet, the plan still fell through.

“Is this Xiao Chen really that formidable?”

Tan Ting, who was standing beside him, couldn’t help but ask as she watched her son in a rage.

“I don’t know where this guy came from; he doesn’t seem human at all but rather like a humanoid Baolong.

Six or seven big men were taken care of by him in just a few seconds.”

As he said this, Jiang Dong couldn’t help but feel some fear.

If Xiao Chen found out it was him who sent those people, wouldn’t he kill him?

“Son, why don’t we just leave Jiang Meng alone?

Let her be the general manager.

After all, your father is still the chairman of Jiang Corporation.

If we can secure the old man’s shares as well, we’ll have absolute controlling power, and even Jiang Hai and Jiang Wudao won’t be able to do anything about it.

Why bother quarreling with a young girl?”

Tan Ting was a woman, and naturally more timid, hearing her son speak of Xiao Chen, it was clear he was no ordinary person.

He’s not someone we can afford to mess with.

“Mom, don’t worry about this.

If Jiang Meng dares to snatch your position as general manager, I will make sure she regrets it,”

Jiang Dong gritted his teeth.

He didn’t want to back down.

So what if Xiao Chen can fight?

With money, he didn’t believe he couldn’t find someone who was a better fighter than Xiao Chen.

Money is the most terrifying thing.

“Jiang Dong, let me introduce you to a boss,”

At this moment, Jiang Tian walked in, followed by a burly man.

Just standing there, this person could exert an immense pressure.

It was as if he were a ferocious Baoxiong.

“This is President Xiong Ba, the boss of Baoxiong Security Company.”

“President Xiong, a pleasure to meet you.

Your reputation resounds loudly, you handle over half of Linhai’s security, right?”

Jiang Dong exclaimed excitedly.

He wasn’t just being courteous; Xiong Ba was indeed very famous.

In Linhai, he was a formidable figure.

“Young Master Jiang is too kind.

If there’s anything you need, just command me.

What I do is a grueling business, nothing compared to your Jiang Corporation,”

Xiong Ba said with a smile.

Although his words were humble, they carried a sense of pride and assertiveness.

“Perfect, I have a business matter I’d like to discuss with you, President Xiong,”

Jiang Dong’s eyes lit up.

He was just worried about not having a way to deal with Jiang Meng.

With Xiong Ba’s Baoxiong Security Company on his side, this matter would be much easier.

Meanwhile, Jiang Meng, who had secured the land deal, was already in touch with construction teams.

Back when her father, Jiang He, was alive, she’d met many construction company bosses.

This aspect was naturally not a problem.

The construction team entered the site, and everything started to proceed in an orderly fashion.

Jiang Meng was truly eager to learn, asking Xiao Chen about anything she didn’t understand.

Her seriousness and determination only increased Xiao Chen’s fondness for her.

Honestly, at the beginning, he only felt gratitude towards Jiang Meng.

Because back then, Jiang Meng took a bullet for him.

There was no love involved, not even affection to speak of.

But in recent interactions, the girl’s kindness and determination made him feel that perhaps he shouldn’t just repay the deed.

Being with a girl like her might actually be nice.

“Like mother, like daughter indeed.

Liu Xin is a strong woman, and this girl will certainly be no less than Liu Xin in the future.”

Xiao Chen smiled and slowly shifted his gaze away, believing that Jiang Meng should be able to handle business matters on her own gradually.

That meant it was up to him to deal with the undercurrents.

He didn’t think the incident in the underground parking lot today was a coincidence.

Someone must have been orchestrating it from behind the scenes.

And the trouble was likely not just a one-time ordeal.

“Could it be Jiang Tian and his son?”

Xiao Chen’s gaze flickered, but with no evidence, it was merely speculation.

“Whether it is or isn’t doesn’t really matter anymore.

If you guys like playing games, then I’ll play along.

I’ve got nothing better to do anyway.”

While Jiang Meng was working hard, Liu Xin also began her work at Zhongjiang Industrial.

Zhang Qi assigned her a very important task, which was to familiarize herself with the various operations of Zhongjiang Industrial.

So that she could be promoted to General Manager in the future.

Of course, Liu Xin didn’t know this; she only knew that she had to seize this opportunity given to her.

With Xiao Chen looking after her daughter, she wasn’t worried at all.

Now, as long as she did her job well, she couldn’t always rely on her son-in-law for everything.

Zhang Qi also provided Liu Xin with a BMW, different from Jiang Meng’s sports car, as it was a bit more dignified.

It better reflected Liu Xin’s maturity and status.

The car wasn’t particularly expensive, around five hundred thousand or so.

But even so, Liu Xin was very happy.

She used to drive such a car.

After Jiang He’s incident and the old man’s dementia, she thought she would never be able to afford such a car again in her lifetime.

But ever since Xiao Chen came into their lives, it seemed like fate had dramatically changed.

It’s just that her clothes didn’t quite match the car.

The clothes she was wearing were cheap goods bought from Pinduoduo, the entire outfit not even costing one hundred yuan.

Anyone with discerning eyes could tell at a glance.

She was actually afraid that driving the car might make people think she was a car thief.

Touching the wage card in her hand, Liu Xin decided to buy herself a set of clothes.

It didn’t need to be too expensive, but at least it had to be decent and not too shabby.

There was five hundred thousand in the wage card, a reward from the company, supposedly because she had negotiated the cooperation with Jiang Corporation.

Liu Xin actually felt quite ashamed to take this money because Jiang Corporation had always been the one seeking cooperation with Zhongjiang Industrial.

Zhang Qi was very insistent, and she couldn’t refuse.

So she had to accept it, swearing in her heart that she would work hard for Zhongjiang Industrial.

It was time to get off work now, and she drove the car to the front of a familiar branded store, where she stopped and walked in.

The sales staff were very enthusiastic.

Although Liu Xin’s clothes were not very stylish, some wealthy people seemed to like playing down their wealth, so they didn’t want to lose out.

After all, a few false smiles and a bit more chatter didn’t cost anything.

Liu Xin didn’t say much and began to look around the store.

There were quite a few people in the shop, all wealthy.

This branded store not only sold ready-to-wear clothes but also luxury handbags and other goods.

All from the same brand.

Of course, they were wealthy, but not the tycoon level of wealth; after all, many tycoons wear custom-made clothes.

Just then, someone suddenly let out a shrill scream, “Thief!”
