    Chapter 30 A signal, just to take advantage of you

    But precisely because of this, he had no choice but to let go.

    Because he cannot use it and cannot live up to it.

    “Keep your word.” Cheng Yuxin stretched out a hand toward him and clenched it into a fist.

    Jiang Chen followed his example and reached out to make a fist.The two fists faced each other, and Cheng Yu thought to himself: “Then it’s settled.”

    After that, Jiang Chen never drank again.But that’s a story for another day.

    After lying down, Cheng Yuxin wanted to avoid suspicion at first and deliberately stayed away from Jiang Chen.Seeing him shivering in the cold under the quilt, Jiang Chen stretched out his arms and pulled him into his arms: “Nothing else, I just want to take advantage of you.”

    Jiang Chen spoke so righteously, but Cheng Yuxin was speechless. He hesitated for a long time, then stumbled and said, “No, you are afraid that I will be cold.”

    “I just want to take advantage of you.” Jiang Chen said, putting his hand into Cheng Yuxin’s pajamas.

    Cheng Yuxin’s pajamas were very loose, so Jiang Chen easily got in with little effort.Slightly calloused fingers caressed the smooth and delicate waist.Cheng Yu felt excited and subconsciously pushed the person.

    The reaction was so big. If it were the ex-boyfriend, would it still be like this?Thinking of Cheng Yuxin’s entanglement with her ex-boyfriend, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but think about it even though he was not angry in his current status.

    I felt unhappy, but I couldn’t let Cheng Yuxin see it.Jiang Chen’s tone revealed deliberate frivolity and irrepressible sourness: “You obviously want it very much, are you pretending to be stupid on purpose?

    Cheng Yuxin felt goosebumps on her back. She couldn’t bear it and kicked the opponent’s calf hard: “What nonsense are you talking about…” Her face was as red as a ripe Cheerilee because of anger and shame.

    Jiang Chen looked at it and felt a little more comfortable.Ignoring the pain in my legs, I rubbed my fingers in circles on that delicate and slender waist: “If you are so angry, you can’t just say it casually and get to your heart.”

    “you!”Cheng Yuxin’s whole body trembled under his touch, and she was grinding her teeth and thinking about how to kick the other person off the bed with one blow. Just as she was about to take action, the dishonest hand suddenly tightened her arms tightly and pushed her tightly into the other person’s arms.

    “Are you thinking about how to kick me down?”Jiang Chen deliberately asked in a low voice close to his ear. His voice was low and sexy, as if a bass drum hit Cheng Yu’s heart. Cheng Yuxin felt as if the place where he had been touched was numb and numb, as if there was an endless stream of small electric currents passing through.

    “No, no!”Cheng Yuxin retorted with a guilty conscience, her voice was trembling and weak. As soon as she heard it, she knew what was going on.

    Jiang Chen was very happy about this, but on his face he held it back: “Oh, forget it if it doesn’t happen.Go to sleep.”

    Huh?

    The other party let him go so lightly, Cheng Yu felt a little confused and couldn’t believe it.But Jiang Chen had closed his eyes, as if to prove that he was not lying.

    Cheng Yuxin could only close her eyes and then realized the problem: the other party’s hand hadn’t been taken away yet.

    “Jiang Chen…” Cheng Yuxin reminded in a low voice, “Your hands…”

    “Huh?Is there something wrong?Jiang Chen asked without even opening his eyes. “Should it be placed here?””As he said this, he moved to Cheng Yuxin’s butt.

    “You!”

    Cheng Yuxin kicked her hard again, but Jiang Chen, who was well prepared, dodged it lightly: “Don’t make trouble.If you keep making trouble again, I will make it impossible for you to sleep.”Jiang Chen said, moving his hand back to Cheng Yu’s waist, and then used his waking place to remind him.

    Cheng Yuxin immediately fell silent, as if the stop button of an alarm clock had been pressed, and she never dared to move again.

    Jiang Chen felt the stiffness of the person in his arms and loosened his arms slightly: “Don’t worry, just go to sleep.”

    How could he not be worried? Cheng Yu secretly complained.But the bumpy ride during the day made him so sleepy that he fell asleep after a while.

    Listening to Cheng Yuxin’s long and steady breathing, Jiang Chen slowly tightened his arms again.

    Early the next morning, Cheng Yuxin couldn’t wait for breakfast and was eager to leave.Jiang Chen thought of the last accident and was worried that it would happen again if he drove on an empty stomach, so he simply suggested that he drive Cheng Yuxin back to Qincheng.

    Cheng Yuxin was even more worried about letting a man who was drunk on the ground the night before drive.The two of them each took a step back, Cheng Yuxin had breakfast, and Jiang Chen no longer insisted on driving the car himself.

    After Cheng Yuxin left, Jiang Chen was consuming the ingredients brought back from his grandmother’s house next door while preparing for Chaosheng’s employment.Resumes, background interviews, remote interviews, job notices… I am obviously free at home, but I am extremely busy every day.

    Chaosheng’s base camp is in Li City, not far from Qincheng, and the rent is not high.At least compared to Heng City where HT where Jiang Chen once worked, it can even be said to be of high quality and low price.Jiang Chen quickly found a house online, and based on the entry time provided by Chaosheng, he agreed with the landlord on a date to view the house.

    The day before the appointed time, all the cabbage given by the grandmother next door happened to be eaten.Jiang Chen thought this was a good signal and contacted Jiang Wanghai with confidence: “My great-grandfather!I really have something important to talk to your boss about!Really really really!”

    If it weren’t for the phone call, Jiang Wanghai would have even doubted whether this guy was going to kneel down for him.However, it wasn’t that Jiang Wanghai didn’t want to help his fellow villagers, but that the boss was indeed in trouble.

    “I have lied to you every time since I was a child, but I can’t do it now!”

    “You lied to me last month.”Jiang Chen couldn’t help it, and his voice suddenly turned cold.

    “Can that be called cheating?Could you please tell me which part of what I said is not true?”

    There’s really no way to argue with that.After all, Jiang Wanghai did not tell a lie.And——

    Jiang Chen is very satisfied with this wife.Even if I haven’t caught it yet.

    So Jiang Chen could only change his strategy and said in a good voice: “My good grandpa, why don’t you tell me what kind of trouble your boss has encountered?Maybe I can help?”

    “You’re absolutely no help.”Jiang Wanghai blurted out.

    “How to say?”

    “It’s about the boss’s family.I’m so anxious now that I can’t do anything!”

    “You should first tell me what it is. What’s the use of being anxious.”

    Under Jiang Chen’s persuasion, Jiang Wanghai finally told what happened in the past few days when Cheng Yuxin returned home.

    It all started with the previous phone call from Jiang Wanghai.At that time, Jiang Wanghai only learned that his uncle was hospitalized from Mr. Cheng. Jiang Wanghai himself had never visited the hospital.Mr. Cheng has never mentioned his uncle’s situation to anyone in the Cheng family or even Mrs. Cheng.Therefore, everyone believed that the uncle’s hospitalization was just a false alarm and he would be discharged safely after his physical condition stabilized.

    However, something unexpected happened while the uncle was in hospital.

    Cheng’s is a typical family business. In addition to Cheng Yuxin’s father Cheng Zhishun, the largest shareholder is Cheng Zhiping, the eldest uncle of the Cheng family who is the hospitalized uncle, Cheng Zhi’an, the second eldest son, and Cheng Huixiang, the fourth eldest son.

    The boss and the fourth have retired and are no longer involved in the company’s affairs.Although the second child has not yet reached the age of retirement, he took the initiative to stay away from the core of the company many years ago and handed over all his power and resources to his trusted younger brother Cheng Zhishun.

    Although the remaining brothers have no shares, they all serve in the Cheng family. Among them, the most ambitious one is the fifth, Cheng Zhihe.

    Jiang Wanghai had actually heard about Lao Wu’s ambition from the gossip of other colleagues a long time ago. However, because Lao Wu did not have any shares in the company, and the boss with the second largest share had special trust in Mr. Cheng, no one took Vice President Cheng, who had this ambition written on his face, seriously.

    But while Cheng Zhiping was hospitalized, unknown sources spread the news that Cheng Zhiping had transferred all his shares to the name of his fifth son, Cheng Zhihe.

    As soon as the news came out, no one believed it.After all, Cheng Zhiping’s biological daughter Cheng Xuefei also worked for the Cheng family, and because of her outstanding abilities and solid achievements, she was appointed vice president at a young age, in charge of Cheng’s purchasing work.

    Who can leave their own daughter alone and give shares to a younger brother who never has one thing in mind?

    It wasn’t until Cheng Zhihe led a group of shareholders to force him to go to the palace that Cheng Zhishun had to believe that his eldest brother had really given his shares to Lao Wu.

    So Cheng Zhishun went to the hospital. In addition to visiting patients, he also had one more thing to deal with.

    The company is now in a mess due to Lao Wu. Senior executives are leaving and resigning, and many businesses have been forced to stop.Without the acquiescence of the boss, the fifth child would never have made such a big fuss no matter how hard he tried.

    But Cheng Zhishun couldn’t figure out why the boss would let his brothers’ hard work be wasted like this.

    He came directly to the hospital bed to confront him.

    The old man, who has only a few days left, does not hide his mistakes. He frankly admits that Lao Wu is indeed not the material to manage the company.

    But even so, he still thought he should do it.

    “Don’t worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality.We are a family.”

    Cheng Zhishun only understood after leaving the hospital.

    There are many brothers and sisters in the Cheng family. When they are suffering, many people help each other, and the suffering is diluted.But when it is sweet, happiness will not be multiplied, nor will it fall evenly on everyone.

    Especially the one in the middle is neither as sensible as the elders nor as obedient as the younger ones.When facing older brothers and sisters, he is a young person who needs to respect his elders. When facing younger brothers and sisters, he is an elder who needs to be humble to the younger ones.

    Obviously he is also someone else’s younger brother and someone else’s older brother.But when you are needed, you are always ignored.

    Of course Cheng Zhishun knew that Lao Si, who was in a similar situation to Lao Wu, had not only one son but one daughter who did not work in the Cheng family.He also retired early and moved in with his son, and no longer interfered with any company or family affairs.Lao Liu, who is only one year younger than Lao Wu, married away from home and never came back. Even the only daughter rarely interacts with the Cheng family.

    There is only the fifth child. Not only do the three children work in the Cheng family, but they also often move around with other brothers and sisters on weekdays.

    No matter what happens in any house, Lao Wu is always the first one to arrive.
