Tiger was very good at stirring up trouble for others, and causing trouble for Xie Zhuojun was a piece of cake for him, because he had many moles at Family Xie’s company.
Soon, Xie Zhuojun received a call from the company – a new order had run into some problems. The buyers had received the consignment but they falsely claimed that Family Xie hadn’t sent the delivery.
Family Xie’s business presence scope was relatively narrow. Mostly, it was textile industry as well as mining and metallurgy.
Currently, the mining and metallurgy industry had already been monopolized by Jingsheng Enterprise, and only a few other companies were able to sustain their business alongside Jingsheng. The reason why Family Xie was still able to keep their business going was because Xie Dongfeng had established many contacts when he was in the army. Also, the Xie Family had been involved in the textile industry for many generations.
However, running a textile based firm was hardly rocket science. More and more companies had already started to enter the industry, so each company’s profit share had reduced over time, because of the fierce competition.
Although Xie Zhuojun had learnt all about the business from his father and he had been under his tutelage for many years, he had no business acumen.
He could handle minor problems, but once the issue got critical, Xie Dongfeng had to take over and come to the company in order to smoothen out the matter.
Xie Dongfeng hadn’t been keeping too well lately, so he had given Xie Zhuojun the right to handle the business and the day to day affairs at the company.
Therefore, whenever some problem occurred, he was definitely going to try and negotiate with the other party. Xie Dongfeng would not be summoned until the problem was about to get out of hand.
Such a case had never happened before where the consignment on Company Xie’s records was showing as delivered and accepted, but the buyers claimed to not have received it. The buyers were old clients of Company Xie and there was no way that Company Xie could take their claims casually.
Xie Zhuojun drove to the buyer’s company directly, without caring about the throbbing pain in his head.
On the way there, Shangguan Rouxue called him and asked him in a loving voice, “Zhuojun, you haven’t forgotten about accompanying me to the hospital for my physical examination, have you? I am so scared of going to the hospital by myself.”
Xie Zhuojun was very impatient. He replied in an annoyed tone, “Get your mother to go with you. I don’t have the time today!”
After he finished saying this, he didn’t even bother to explain anything further and hung up the phone.
Shangguan Rouxue had no idea what happened to Xie Zhoujun’s mood again today. His attitude had become even worse and here she had been hoping that he would turn into a new leaf.
After the line was disconnected, she immediately decided to text someone to check on Xie Zhuojun and his whereabouts. After she finished composing the text, she just realized that the man who had been working for her had gone missing, ever since their last interaction.
She felt a bit anxious. That man knew too many secrets about her and her mother, Yang Wenshu. The fact that he had gone missing was worrisome to mother and daughter alike. They panicked.
Also, mother daughter duo found it very difficult to plan anything concrete, without that man’s assistance. The new person Yang Wenshu had found as a replacement, was too unskilled in this regard and still charged them a lot of money as fees.
Shangguan Rouxue didn’t go to the hospital for her physical examination. She still had no intention of keeping the baby. After all, her purpose of keeping the baby had already been achieved. She was married to Xie Zhuojun.
She needed the baby for a little while longer, for her to make the best out of it.
She was still so young, and she mustn’t waste her beautiful youth on giving birth to babies and taking care of them. She wanted to pursue her dream of achieving stardom in the entertainment industry.
Although Xie Zhuojun disapproved of her ambition of becoming an actress, she knew that after she reached the peak of super stardom, he would forgive her and definitely approve of her choices.
All she needed now was to find a man who could help her!
…
Jing Yiran had been grounded by Grandma Mo and Zhang Rong for all these days.The Family Jing House had become a fortress and was heavily guarded round the clock. Grandma Mo had given strict orders that Jing Yiran was to not leave the house. No one dared to let him out without her prior permission.
The goddamned Jing Yichen and Mu Qing! How dare they resort to such terrible tactics!
Once he was allowed to go out, he was definitely going to seek revenge.
At present, he was not only under house arrest but also felt weird to leave the house in his current physical condition.
In the past, his penis used to be hard and erect every day and he was constantly looking for new women to vent his physical energy on, but after Mu Qing’s acupuncture session, it had never been erect again. It was as if it felt no sensation or arousal.
Jing Yiran wanted very desperately to ask Mu Qing to treat him and rid him of this horrible condition. He also wanted Mu Qing to tell Grandma Mo that Jing Yiran was completely healthy and had no ailments, because he was fed up with the bitter Chinese medicine that he had to drink every day.
He was about to throw away the dose of Chinese medicine that he had just been handed, at the insistence of Grandma Mo, when his phone buzzed. A new message had arrived.
He didn’t bother to read phone messages anymore, because all messages turned out to be bad news!
Like one of his bars had recently gone bankrupt, some more of his aides had turned against him, or there was a raid by the Tax and Audit Bureau and they wanted to check all his accounts…. the list went on.
Soon he would run out of money and wouldn’t be able to fight Jing Yichen anymore.
But today had already started on a positive note. He saw that the sender of that message was none other than Shangguan Rouxue.
Jing Yiran finally found a way to get back at Jing Yichen.
He went up to Grandma Mo and tried all methods to coax her to let him go out of the house. He cried and begged, ignoring the looks of surprise from the confused staff.
Suddenly, Jing Yiran came up with an idea. He claimed that he needed to see Mu Qing for a checkup. The old lady would not be able to refuse. But she was not stupid,so she called Mu Qing herself and asked him if her grandson was indeed scheduled for a check up.
She also understood that Jing Yiran was quite bored of being home. She allowed him to go out for no longer than two hours. After that he was to return home. If he didn’t return in time, he would never be allowed to go out again.
She even got someone to follow Jing Yiran, fearing that he would go and see some woman, behind Grandma Mo’s back.
What the old lady didn’t know or understand was that Jing Yiran had no ability to do anything, even if he were to meet the most beautiful girl in the entire world!
Two hours were enough.
Jing Yiran didn’t bargain for any more. He made a promise that he was not going to meet any woman and then left home with a few of his friends.
When the pedestrians on the street saw Second Master of Family Jing, sitting in a fancy car with a convoy of ten cars following him, everyone was envious of him. They all thought how lucky he was to be born in Family Jing.
But no one knew that the ten cars were not supposed to cover for him. They were being used to prevent him from escaping and to keep an eye on him.
Jing Yiran had no intention to escape. As long as he went to Family Mu’s Hospital, he would find a way to meet the person he wanted to meet.
After Mu Qing received a call from Grandma Mo, he knew that Jing Yiran was planning something. Mu Qing called Jing Yichen, just to keep him updated.
When Jing Yiran entered Family Mu’s hospital, he was in a cheerful mood. He whistled all the way to Mu Qing’s office, as he eyed the beautiful and young nurses.
“I bet that you have informed my good brother of my arrival. You’d better ask him to get here as soon as possible. I have very little time and it is extremely precious.”
