As soon as Si Yuhuan returned to the Haohan Group, Jiang Qing burst into his office, her face streaked with tears.
"Yuhan, Yuhan, you have to take my side! If you don’t, I won’t have a place in the entertainnt industry anymore. How am I going to live?!"
Tears and snot stread down her face. It was only then that Si Yuhuan realized sothing major had just happened in the entertainnt industry.
He suddenly felt a headache coming on.
This Jian Xi... she truly was his nesis!
"If you can’t be an actress, then find a different job. There are many paths in life; you don’t need to fixate on just one thing."
Jiang Qing was so angry her teeth practically itched. She hadn’t expected Si Yuhuan to say that to her.
"Then what am I supposed to do? If this goes on, I’ll die!"
Jiang Qing sobbed. "I could have made so money through live streaming abroad, but I returned to China for you, and now I’ve been blacklisted! Yuhan, am I really such a terrible person?"
"You need to learn from this. Understand where you went wrong and avoid making the sa mistakes again."
Without even glancing at her, Si Yuhuan picked up a docunt, stood up, and headed towards the eting room.
Jiang Qing’s pretty face instantly paled. "Yuhan..."
She wanted to follow him but was stopped by Yan Qing. "Miss Jiang, it’s best if you listen to the boss and try to stay calm for the ti being."
"What do you an I’m not calm? It’s Jian Xi who won’t let be calm!" Jiang Qing’s face twisted as she roared at Yan Qing.
Yan Qing was startled. He had never seen this side of Jiang Qing before. Perhaps this was the real her.
"That’s enough. I’ll have soone escort Miss Jiang ho."
Having been by Si Yuhuan’s side and accustod to handling major situations, Yan Qing’s expression shifted, and he exuded a sowhat intimidating air.
Soon, the bodyguards dragged Jiang Qing out.
Because he had been dismissed by the board of directors, Si Junyan was no longer qualified to enter or exit the Haohan Group building. He waited anxiously outside. When he saw Jiang Qing being dragged out, his eyes blazed with fury as he charged forward. "You bastards, let go of her!"
Jiang Qing clung to his shoulder, sobbing loudly. "Yuhan despises now! Jian Xi ruined my reputation and got the industry to blacklist . He didn’t do anything to help; instead, he had Yan Qing throw out! How could he do this to ? I can’t go on living like this!"
Si Junyan trembled with anger. "Sister ng, don’t worry. As long as I’m here, I won’t let you suffer. Don’t forget, I still own five percent of Haohan Group’s shares."
This was his dream from his youth; he would protect her, even if it cost him his life.
Jiang Qing was relieved. Thankfully, she still had this backup plan.
"Then you should behave yourself for a while. Even though you made a mistake this ti, Yuhan won’t bla you, his own younger brother."
"I know. I’ll definitely work hard to earn Big Brother’s forgiveness."
Before Jiang Qing could feel pleased, Si Yuhuan summoned Si Junyan to the old family mansion for a harsh reprimand.
Si Yuhuan sat on the sofa, flanked by bodyguards. They forced Si Junyan to kneel on the ground.
Si Yuhuan lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and frowned slightly. "Speak. Why did you kick the chief technical engineer out of the research lab? Who gave you the audacity to do that?"
On the surface, Si Junyan appeared calm, but inwardly, his world had been turned upside down.
"Big Brother, there’s been a misunderstanding. Please, let explain."
SMACK!
Si Yuhuan viciously kicked him, sending him sprawling.
Si Junyan imdiately scrambled up from the ground. "Big Brother, I really didn’t an to drive Luo You away! He’s just too arrogant and doesn’t respect at all. At that mont, it was to assert authority... yes, to assert authority..."
Si Yuhuan let out a low laugh. The oppressive weight of his presence made Si Junyan’s heart nearly stop.
He carefully raised his head. "Big Brother..."
"Since you’re so useless, incapable of even making basic decisions, there will be no place for you in Haohan Group from now on."
Si Junyan stared at him in disbelief. "Big Brother... I’m your right-hand man! You once said..."
"You brought this on yourself with your own stupidity!" Si Yuhuan spared him no dignity. "You’ve disappointed . Get out."
An icy aura emanated from him.
And just like that, Si Junyan was driven out of the old family mansion.
Jiang Qing, waiting in her sports car outside, touched up her makeup. She was anticipating good news from Si Junyan.
If he could return to Haohan Group, she would have another chance to win back Si Yuhuan’s favor.
When she saw Si Junyan walking out with a dejected expression, her heart sank. She quickly pushed open the car door and got out. "How did it go? Did Yuhan punish you?"
Si Junyan glanced at her.
Jiang Qing was frantic. "Did he send you to do hard labor in so remote area again?"
"Sister ng, Big Brother said... he never wants to set foot in Haohan Group again."
Jiang Qing staggered, forcing a disbelieving smile. "Impossible! He dotes on you so much. How could he?!"
"Big Brother said that my ddling with Haohan Group’s key technical personnel was tantamount to severing the Si Family’s lifeline, and he told to get lost." Si Junyan urgently grabbed Jiang Qing’s wrist. "Sister ng, Big Brother never ntioned wanting to transition into other industries, did he?"
He had previously taken Jiang Qing’s word for it. She had claid that Si Yuhuan considered chip research enormously costly. Furthermore, with Haohan Group now being hamstrung by the Silicon Crystal supply, she’d said the company would definitely go bankrupt if it continued on its current path. She suggested it would be better to transition into other industries, where their business could be more flexible, able to advance or retreat as needed. That was why he had resolutely picked a fight with Luo You in the research lab, infuriating Luo You to the point that he stord out.
Jiang Qing’s eyes flickered for an instant, but she quickly composed herself. "Junyan, I’m sorry. Perhaps I misunderstood Yuhan’s intentions. But he really did say that chip research is hugely expensive, and because the materials for production are restricted, it’s not cost-effective..."
Seeing Jiang Qing’s innocent and frightened expression, Si Junyan imdiately took the bla. "Sister ng, it’s all my fault. You don’t understand business operations, so how could you have the ability to analyze the situation? I should have considered Big Brother’s intentions more deeply before acting. I was too rash and made a mistake."
His face was etched with hurt, and he looked utterly dejected.
Jiang Qing could only coax him into going ho to rest, saying they would make further plans later.
As soon as Si Junyan drove off, Jiang Qing imdiately dialed a familiar number.
The person on the other end answered quickly.
"Are you trying to get killed?! I’m in this ss because of you! Now Si Yuhuan won’t protect , and that useless Si Junyan can’t protect either. I’m about to be blacklisted by the entire industry and starve to death!"
The person on the other end let out a low, cold chuckle. "Miss Jiang, an ambitious woman should always be prepared for risks. You can’t expect to reap all the benefits yourself, can you?"
"You failed to outmaneuver Jian Xi because you’re foolish. If even a rich heiress like her can be such a formidable rival, don’t you think you’ve grown too complacent and let yourself go to waste these past few years?"
Jiang Qing’s chest heaved with anger. "Cut the crap! I want to return to my forr glory! I want to be above everyone else, to beco the young mistress of the Si Family, to beco the top socialite in Beijing and even the entire country! If you can’t help achieve that, then don’t even think about getting any information about Haohan Group from ever again!"
The line was silent for a mont before the person on the other end spoke slowly, "Actually, it’s not entirely impossible."
"Ask Si Yuhuan for sothing. He will definitely give it to you."
