“What?” Jiang Chu’s delicate brows furrowed. “Is it that Pei fellow again?!”
Coincidentally, the project that Pei Huai took over from his scumbag father was the one that Jiang Suiheng had always wanted to use as his trump card to make a comeback.
However, if the Pei Corporation wanted to do it, they would have to do it on a larger scale and have a higher chance of winning.
Therefore, when a few big shots in the country who knew the advantages of this aspect heard that the Pei Corporation had made a move, they immediately ditched Jiang Suiheng and rushed to curry favor with the Pei Corporation.
“There must be a traitor under me!” Jiang Suiheng slammed his palm on the armrest of the sofa. The servants and bodyguards, who did not dare to make a sound, instantly held their breaths.
“That Pei guy is targeting us. He’s afraid that we’ll become their biggest threat if we make a comeback, so he deliberately planted a mole to work with him. This time, he stole your father’s project. He wants to force your father into a
dead end!!”
Actually, even if there was no Pei Corporation, there was still the Qian Corporation, the Wan Corporation…the current Jiang Group was not even ranked in the domestic business circle.
But Jiang Suiheng didn’t think so.
Jiang Chu didn’t really care about his father’s business, but ever since he accidentally drank that bowl of divine soup that could regulate his menstrual cycle, he was always worried about his gains and losses. He was especially anxious and easily ignited. Now that he heard his father nagging about the Jiang family being finished, he even had the urge to cry!
And Jiang Suiheng’s next sentence directly made his mentality completely collapse.
“Son,” he said. “Dad borrowed a lot of money from the bank for this project, but now that the project is cut in half, I can only rely on you…”
“Relying on me?” Jiang Chu turned pale with fright, and his tone was filled with rejection.
Jiang Suiheng burped and finished his sentence. “It’s all thanks to this house you bought!”
Jiang Chu was speechless.
Jiang Suiheng said, “although you bought this house with a loan, it’s still worth a lot of money. If you use it as a collateral, the bank will accept it…”
Jiang Chu felt like he was struck by lightning when he heard the news.
Paying off the mortgage was already very stressful. If he had to use this as a collateral…
Without the house…where would he put his beautiful dresses? Where would he put his limited edition bag?
However, his father was now forced into a corner, and he could not leave him in the lurch.
Jiang Chu was stuck at both ends and was extremely angry. All his negative emotions were concentrated on one point-all of this was Pei Huai’s fault!
He stood up from the sofa.
Jiang Suiheng looked up at him in surprise.
“That Pei fellow is simply going too far!” Jiang Chu said, ” he already has a
fiancée in China, and he has a mistress overseas. Why doesn’t God take away such a person!?”
Jiang Suiheng nodded in agreement. But halfway through, he suddenly realized something. “What mistress? Did you say that the man surnamed Pei has a mistress overseas?”
Jiang Chu pursed his lips. After a moment of hesitation, he walked into his room.
“Don’t follow me in. I’ll think of a way to deal with this!”
Ten minutes later, in the bedroom, Jiang Chu was looking at his phone and reading the message he had sent to a WeChat account on impulse.
[ “Are you there? Call me if you’re interested.” ] [ “I know the inside story of Ji Xi’s pregnancy overseas.
[ “And who is the father of the child.” ]
As a second-year student in Kyokushin, he knew a few paparazzis.
He usually bought traffic for himself. Once there was any negative news, that could help with his PR.
The person Jiang Chu had just contacted was the paparazzi he had dealt with a few times.
The cooperation between the big shots in the business world was about reputation. The reason why the Jiang Corporation could not recover after so many years was because the acquisition of the Pei Corporation by the heir who had just turned 18 years old was too sensational.
Pei Huai, on the other hand, was the exact opposite. He had made a name for himself with that beautiful acquisition battle.
This caused the Pei Corporation’s stocks to rise all the way.
But in other words, water could carry a boat, but it could also capsize it. Since he had portrayed himself as a public figure but could not be strict with himself, then he could not blame others for exposing this matter.
As long as Pei Huai’s image collapsed, the Pei family’s stocks would be the first to be affected.
If that happened, the other business partners would try to protect themselves and draw a clear line with the Pei Corporation. Then, his father’s chance would come back, and the Pei family would end up like his father.
This was a perfect plan to kill two birds with one stone, but Jiang Chu was still conflicted..
