Chapter 013:
(Inside the Jiang family’s mansion)
Jiang Mengyao looked at the diary on her phone.
She appeared to have just taken a bath, and her soft black hair hung loosely over her shoulders.
Her features were cold and stunning under her black hair.
She wore black silk pajamas over her slender figure, and beneath it, there were faint glimpses of her fair skin.
Unfortunately, no one had the chance to feast their eyes on it.
In terms of temperament, if Tang Xiaofu was pure, Cheng Jinjin was cute and naive, and Xiao Mingyue was noble and aloof, then Jiang Mengyao was ruthless!
Ruthless and indifferent!
The Jiang family was the boss of the underground world in Nanjiang City, known for ruthless actions.
Jiang Mengyao, at a young age, took control of the Jiang family and became the queen of the underground world in Nanjiang.
Her perspective, mindset, and methods were naturally beyond the comparison of ordinary people her age!
Compared to someone like Ye Chen, Jiang Mengyao was actually more interested in the owner of the diary, Chen Lang.
Chen Lang’s diary wasn’t wrong.
While the Jiang family appeared stable on the surface, it was actually facing numerous crises!
The Jiang family patriarch made his fortune through gray industries but passed away a few years ago.
And with the patriarch gone, the connections maintained by him also fell apart.
Although the Jiang family had been low-key in recent years, making efforts to clean up and transform, without the patriarch’s connections and protection, it was said that other major families were already preparing to act against the Jiang family!
So now, while the Jiang family appeared to be one of the four major families with considerable assets and power, in reality, they were just pawns in someone else’s hands, ready to be exploited!
Jiang Mengyao discussed this with her father before. In this situation, there a few people who could keep the Jiang family safe, but Chen Lang was definitely one of them!
After all, behind Chen Lang was the Chen family controlling the capital, and even the top figures in Nanjiang had to show respect to Chen Lang’s father!
If she could tie the Jiang family to Chen Lang, then the Jiang family’s assets would definitely be safe!
However, the Jiang family’s previous contact with Chen Lang didn’t go well.
The impression Jiang Mengyao got was that Chen Lang feared the Jiang family, as if he feared that the Jiang family would ask him for money as a rich second-generation in the capital city.
But now, the opportunity had come!
Since her father had already entrusted her with the Jiang family, she certainly couldn’t let her father down! She would definitely do everything in her power to help the Jiang family through this crisis!
First and foremost, she absolutely couldn’t let Chen Lang embarrass himself in her territory!
Jiang Mengyao looked at the villain’s diary app in her hand and smiled faintly.
‘Two billion yuan?’
‘Then consider it my first gift to you!’
…
9 o’clock in the morning, at the auction venue.
The luxurious hall was already filled with people, all dressed formally, chatting in groups of twos and threes.
Those qualified to enter the auction venue were all from the upper circles of Nanjiang City.
“Master Sun from the Sun family! Sun Zhentian is here!”
As the voice fell, Sun Zhentian, dressed in a Chinese suit, entered the venue with a young man beside him.
If the four major families were at the top of Nanjiang City, then the Sun family would be second only to the four major families, and their strength shouldn’t be underestimated.
Therefore, the arrival of the Sun family’s master immediately attracted the attention of many familiar faces who came to greet him.
Meanwhile, Cheng Jinjin and Xiao Mingyue were in an inconspicuous corner, wearing caps and sunglasses and watching the situation in the venue.
“Hey, Sister Mingyue, the person next to Sun Zhentian is the Ye Chen I mentioned to you on the phone, the one who’s not very bright.”
‘He’s Ye Chen?’
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Mingyue felt that he seemed familiar to her, and suddenly remembered where she had seen him!
A few days before, she was driving on the road when an old man collapsed in front of her car, not a staged accident, but a genuine illness.
When she called for an ambulance, it was this person who came out and cured the old man.
She thanked Ye Chen for a few words, and that was it.
She had almost forgotten about it.
Now, Xiao Mingyue was a bit puzzled. She and Ye Chen had only met once; why would he inexplicably appear at her wedding and object to the marriage?
It didn’t make sense.
Over at Master Sun’s side, the people who came to greet him also noticed the unfamiliar young man beside him.
It was hard not to notice him because everyone present was dressed formally, and he… wore a work jacket on the outside, with a white shirt inside. This combination was indeed somewhat unusual on the occasion.
“Who is this young man?”
Sun Zhentian introduced with a smile, “This young friend is named Ye Chen, a friend of the Sun family!”
Originally, when Master Sun was seriously ill, he sought help from Ye Chen’s master, and Ye Chen treated the old man.
Out of respect for Ye Chen’s master and Ye Chen’s own strength, the Sun family and Ye Chen came together, giving Ye Chen their family’s friendship.
In Ye Chen’s view, he had already taken the Sun family as his little brother.
After hearing Sun Zhentian’s introduction, everyone was somewhat shocked.
Seeing Ye Chen’s arrogant expression, he must have some ability!
To actually gain the Sun family’s friendship!
“I wonder where Brother Ye Chen is from?”
Sun Zhentian looked at Ye Chen. He knew that Ye Chen worked as a security guard at the university. However, with so many upper-class people present, it wouldn’t sound good if he said it out loud.
So he considered his words and said, “My young friend Ye Chen currently works at Nanjiang University and is responsible for controlling the entry and exit of all students at the school.”
Everyone was amazed, and there was an uproar!
After all, no normal person could guess that Sun Zhentian was talking about a security guard!
Responsible for student entry and exit?
That must be in charge of enrollment, right?
Everyone gazed toward Ye Chen immediately changed!
Sure enough, appearances could be deceiving. At such a young age, to gain the friendship of the Sun family, it turned out he held a high position at Nanjiang University, and he was the one who decided which students the school enrolled.
They had friends in hospitals and prestigious universities, besides those in legitimate institutions!
Nanjiang University!
It was the top tier in the country.
If they could get Ye Chen to get their children admitted to Nanjiang University, that would be great.
Making friends with him would also prevent them from having no way to operate in the future.
People around him started praising him right away.
“I didn’t expect Brother Ye Chen to hold such a high position at such a young age at Nanjiang University!”
“Looking at Brother Ye Chen’s appearance, he is truly extraordinary!”
“After the auction ends, if Brother Ye Chen has time, you are welcome to come to my humble abode for tea!”
Hearing these compliments, Ye Chen felt extremely pleased.
In the past, he had always pretended to be a pig to eat the tiger, but he didn’t expect that being directly treated as a tiger would feel so good!
Someone tentatively asked, “If the younger generation at home wants to enter Nanjiang University to study in the future, can Brother Ye help?”
Being surrounded by wealthy people already made Ye Chen arrogant. He pointed his finger in the air and said word by word, “No problem! As long as I nod, you can enter Nanjiang University!”
