Chapter 175 - Jing Yiran’s Sorrow
“If Second Master wants to hire a female assistant, it is fine l. But we have to report this to the President who is in the middle of a meeting with the four Deputy-Presidents. Till then, I am your assistant.” Lu Qing said all of the above in an expressionless voice.
The manner and the tone in which he spoke with Jing Yiran and Jing Yichen were exactly the same – courteous yet uncompromising.
With Lu Qin beside her, Shangguan Ning was happy that she didn’t need to interact with Jing Yiran. Every time that she faced him, she felt uneasy, because he didn’t yield under any circumstances and was always so shameless. He was the most difficult person to deal with.
The best way to handle him was probably to leave him alone.
“Also, Second Master’s office is not on this floor but the floor below us. Please come with me.”
Jing Yiran struck the table with his hand as he said. “I have half of the inheritance here. So, why can’t I work on the same floor? I don’t want to work below Jing Yichen, I want to work on this floor. And I like this room, only.”
“I can report that as well to the President after he finishes the meeting. Before that, please come with me downstairs.”
“President all the time! Is he the only one you know? I am the Second Master, and if he is the President, I will be the President too!”
Jing Yiran’s handsome face flared up with anger, seeing that Lu Qing wasn’t obeying him. He bellowed so loudly that Shangguan Ning shook her head.
So Jing Yiran was also afraid of the nagging Lu Qing!
He got so furious after Lu Qing said a few words. When Jing Yichen had punched him to death, broken his arms, legs and rib bones, he still acted cooly. But now, he was so crazily annoyed!
“The President has to approve of the position you want to take up at the enterprise. As for your request of becoming the President, then the current President’s approval is needed even more for that. Before he finishes his meeting and approves your position, you are still the Second Master.”
Jing Yiran got so angry that he almost spilled blood because of Lu Qing’s words.
Not being able to tolerate it anymore, he walked out of Shangguan Ning’s office and walked into the biggest conference room on that floor. Jing Zhongxiu had given him an access card of Enterprise before he came here, so that he was able to go onto any floor in the building.
There were 77 floors in Jingsheng Enterprise and the top floor had nine conference rooms for important meetings. The biggest one was for the annual meeting of shareholders.
After Jing Yiran opened the door, he found no one inside. Jing Zhongxiu never allowed him to be involved with the affairs of Jingsheng Enterprise, so he had no idea what was going on in the company. He had assumed that Jing Yichen would definitely choose the best and biggest room for his meeting as the President.
He quickly went through the nine meeting rooms on the floor and finally found Jing Yichen in the last but smallest meeting room.
The sound of the door opening startled the men in conversation. They all turned towards Jing Yiran and then looked at Jing Yichen, who was sitting at the head of the table.
The contents of their conversation were very confidential, which couldn’t be leaked to anyone else, even to Second Master of Family Jing.
But Jing Yichen said calmly, “Go on.”
Then the four people bent their heads and continued to report their work. Sometimes they would argue fiercely, if their opinions were not in tandem with each other at all. Without saying a word, Jing Yichen listened to their arguments and didn’t make the decision till they finished speaking.
“Our financial department has been a late comer, thus requires faster development. You four can try to get the talent, and each of you must submit the market information. As for the concrete affairs, I will talk with Family Ji’s Enterprise. We can collaborate with them in the early stages and then kick them off when we become stable.”
Hearing his decision, the four people nodded and agreed. No one was better than Jing Yichen in negotiations. As long as he bothered to show up, even the Head of Family Ji’s Enterprise would bend their backs backward.
“Meeting dismissed!”
By Jing Yichen’s order, the four powerful Deputy-Presidents in A City stood up and left.
No one even looked at Jing Yiran even once. Ignoring him completely, they kept talking about the core confidential information of Jingsheng.
It was as if they believed that he would never understand or have a hand in the office affairs.
The moment those people left, three tall foreign men dressed in suits entered the slightly larger meeting room adjoining this room, under the directions given by Shangguan Ning.
Jing Yiran heard Shangguan Ning speaking Russian and French with the three men fluently, and then Jing Yichen walked past him, ignoring him totally, and entered that meeting room. Just like Shangguan Ning, he also spoke Russian and French with the three men fluently.
Jing Yiran could understand some Russian and French, but it was impossible for him to be as skilled as Jing Yichen in this aspect.
All of a sudden, Jing Yiran felt depressed. He had come to provoke Jing Yichen yet he was the one who had been ignored.
Everyone obeyed Jing Yichen unquestioningly and ignored him as the Second Master of Family Jing.
Was it because he looked too dandiacal in daily life or was it because Jing Yichen was too formidable?
He also felt that although father had given him half of the inheritance, he was not able to make any impact in the inheritance.
Losing excitement and pride, Jing Yiran returned home in depression and annoyance.
The moment he entered the house, Zhang Rong dragged him into the room and asked him eagerly, “Did you get to meet the other shareholders at the company? Were they nice to you? Did they show any interest in cooperating with you? How much money does the Enterprise have? How much can you get?...”
So that was what his real mother was like!
She didn’t ask him if he was doing well in the company or he was happy. Nor did she ask him if he was bullied by Jing Yichen. The only thing she asked was how much he could get.
Jing Yiran, who was already very depressed, bellowed angrily, “Money all the time. That is the only thing you know. Father gives you so much money, and your bags, your shoes, and each piece of your clothes and jewelry are all worth so much! Why can’t you just be a quiet wealthy lady? Don’t interfere in my business from now one!”
He had tried so hard to get the inheritance of Family Jing, not because of money, but because he didn’t want to lose to Jing Yichen!
Jing Yichen had kept a tight control on the inheritance not for the sake of money, but for the fact that all of these belonged to him and that no one should touch it!
Jing Yiran left home angrily after that.
Just like, Jing Yichen, he also disliked this home!
He would rather spend his night in nightclubs than in this hollow, luxurious villa.
Mo Lan and Jing Tianyuan had gone abroad early in the morning, so no one restrained Jing Yiran any more and he could go and come as he wanted.
Jing Yiran drove to Family Shangguan in fury. That family was probably in desperate need of his help.
He wanted to be helpful too!
