Chapter 561: The Jiang Family and the Xiao Family Are at It Again

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Two-odd years ago, the Jiang family and the Xiao Family had cooperated to buy the Ai Shang Group over. They ended up suffering great losses and because of this, the Jiang family had encountered a major financial crisis and became a non-existent part of the four major families.

Of course, the worst thing was, previously he had instructed people to throw Wen Haowen out of the Jiang Corporation office tower. Unexpectedly, this shameless dog, Wen Haowen, was actually so narrow-minded to go against him all the time and make things difficult for the Jiang family. In recent years, due to the poor management of the Jiang family, it had already completely retired from the playing field of the four major wealthiest families and reduced to a second-grade family.

Because of this, Jiang Shaofeng hated Haowen to the bones.

Of course, he also regretted deeply in his heart. If he had known, he wouldn’t have burned the bridge with the Wen Family.

Also because of this, Madam Jiang, who had previously initiated the fallout with the Wen Family, also suffered complaints in the Jiang family. Naturally, Jiang Ruoyin, who had gone head to head with Wen Xinya, also had a hard time.

At the Wen Corporation’s annual gala last year, the Jiang family finally laid their hands on an invitation card and brought Jiang Ruoyin to attend the gala, wanting to apologize to the eldest daughter of the Wen Family in front of everyone as a show of the Jiang family’s sincerity. Unexpectedly, the Wen Family didn’t buy it.

Only then did Jiang Shaofeng clearly understood that the Wen Family would never cooperate with the Jiang family again, and would definitely not help the Jiang family out again.

“Brother Xiao, what a coincidence! I didn’t expect to b.u.mp into you here, it’s really befitting of, what’s that saying again… oh yes—it’s a small world.” Jiang Shaofeng just finished soaking in the hot spring when he saw Xiao Zhiyuan who similarly just finished soaking in the hot spring. Instantly, he put on a flattering smile and rushed up hurriedly.

“What a coincidence—how has Chairman Jiang been?” Xiao Zhiyuan also didn’t expect to b.u.mp into Jiang Shaofeng at such a setting. His gentlemanly and elegant face was nonchalant and distant. Previously, when the Xiao Family was buying the Ai Shang Group over, if not for the Jiang family backstabbing the Xiao Family, the Xiao Family wouldn’t have ended up suffering a double loss and finally giving the Wen Family a chance.

As if Jiang Shaofeng didn’t detect Xiao Zhiyuan distancing himself, the smile on his face became even more enthusiastic. “I’m still the same. Instead, I didn’t expect that you, Brother Xiao, being a busy man, still has the time to enjoy yourself at Jiayuan.”

Xiao Zhiyuan said nonchalantly, “Chairman Jiang has misunderstood. I’m here at Jiayuan merely for a business appointment with a client and not to enjoy myself. Instead, I heard that the Jiang Corporation’s financial crisis is worsening, yet Chairman Jiang actually still has the mood to pursue pleasures at Jiayuan.”

Jiang Shaofeng was merely a despicable sc.u.m. Had it been two years ago, when the Jiang family still had the status of being one of the four major families, he would perhaps have given him some face. However, now that the Jiang family was already reduced to a second-grade family, there was no need for him to be polite to him.

Jiang Shaofeng lost some control over his expression, but eventually kept his cool and widened the smile on his face. “Don’t say that! Although work is important, being a man, I’ve gotta relax to a certain extent. Work-life balance is the most important.”

He only came to Jiayuan today because he heard that a wealthy businessman from abroad was very interested in investing in daily necessities and food. Thus, he came over to try his luck.

Xiao Zhiyuan’s expression became mild again. “In that case, Chairman Jiang, you continue to relax. I still have a client over there and can’t continue chatting.”

He didn’t wish to continue the insincere chat with a capricious sc.u.m like Jiang Shaofeng.

Jiang Shaofeng hurriedly smiled and said, “Brother Xiao, since it’s rare that we meet each other, why don’t we have a good chat over there?”

Xiao Zhiyuan’s expression became cold. “There’s nothing much to chat about between us. Please excuse me.”
