After Meng Meiling left, Jiang Chen leaned back on the sofa and looked at the ceiling

Meng Meiling's conversation with him tonight was very informative.

Life is indeed not based on human will.

At first, he avoided that aunt, treating her like a savage beast, but for some unknown reason, he got to the point where he is now in a state where he can't stop cutting things off and getting confused.

Even he himself doesn't dare to say that he and the other party are just ordinary friends.

Jiang Chen rubbed his temples.

Older gingers are more spicy.

Compared to that aunt, being a mother is indeed more than one rank higher.

He really didn't want to dip into this muddy water, he was just asking for trouble.

After all, he encouraged that aunt to take power. If something goes wrong or trouble occurs, will he not care about it?

If not, can you convince your conscience?

But the tricky thing is that the woman who offered him one million when they first met actually put down her dignity this time and made a request as a mother.

He can refuse a wealthy lady.

But you can't refuse a mother.

Gentleman's agreement.

The other party really nailed his character.

Jiang Chen exhaled.

Regardless of whether you like it or not, I have indeed agreed.

It is difficult to collect water.

To be entrusted by others is to be loyal to others.

Jiang Chen got up, walked outside, came to the next door, and rang the doorbell.

After a while, the door opened.

"I'm not disturbing your rest, are you?"

Miss Shi shook her head, "Did my mother go to find you just now?"

Jiang Chen nodded.

"come in."

After entering the house, Shi Xixi closed the door.

"What did my mother tell you?"

"She wants you to take over Jinhai temporarily."

There is no need to make any detours with this aunt.

"I told her that I don't want it. There are so many people in the company, who can't work?"

"But you are the only one named Shi."

Shi Xixi couldn't help but raise her voice: "My dad is still lying in the hospital. I don't want to think about these things now. Why do you even have to force me?"

To be honest, Jiang Chen feels a little sorry for this aunt.

That's right.

Pitiful.

But there are some things he still has to say.

"Do you not want to think about it, or do you dare not think about it? Are you worried that if you are not capable enough and can't manage Jin Hai well, you will screw up the company and be sorry for Director Shi?"

Shi Xixi stood there without speaking.

She's just spoiled, but not stupid.

She knew that no matter how messed up she was in the past or how she wasted her family, there would be no serious consequences.

But now, she is probably really scared if she is asked to take over Jin Hai.

"It's understandable to be afraid, everyone will be afraid, but some responsibilities are destined by birth and cannot be escaped."

"Why didn't my mother do it right? Why did she have to push it to me?"

"If Aunt Meng takes over, do you know what will happen?"

Jiang Chen said calmly: "Her natal family will take this opportunity to expand their power in Jinhai, and people's hearts will not be satisfied. Although you studied in a university abroad, you should have studied history, and you should understand some truths.

Do you think Aunt Meng has not been in charge of the actual power of the company just because she is greedy for pleasure? I think she must have made an agreement with Director Shi, or it is a tacit understanding. This time, it is the same."

Jiang Chen said patiently: "It's not terrible to make mistakes. To say the least, the Jin Hai family has a great business and can withstand your tossing. If you take another ten thousand steps back, even if you really torment Jin Hai to death, I don't think Dong Shi and Aunt Meng will."

I blame you, because Jin Hai is yours and must be yours. This is the consensus reached by the two of them. Aunt Meng does not take over Jin Hai not for her own ease, but because she does not want others to take away what belongs to you."

Shi Xixi fell silent, and after a while, she spoke, her tone softening.

"My mother told you these?"

"My guess."

"..."

Although she was in a bad mood, Shi Qianqian couldn't help but laugh and muttered: "My guess turned out to be the same as the truth."

"Although I made a guess, Aunt Meng most likely thinks so in her heart."

"What benefits did my mother give you to be a lobbyist?"

Shi Xixi was calm and walked over.

Jiang Chen didn't hide anything and said with a smile: "Your mother spent a lot of money this time."

"Let's talk about it, I want to share the spoils too."

Jiang Chen smiled and sat down on the sofa.

"Your mother sacrificed her most precious thing in order for you to take over Jin Hai honestly."

"What?"

Shi Xixi came and was curious.

"you."

"I?"

Shi Qianqian stood there, looking at Jiang Chen sitting on the sofa, confused.

"Um."

Jiang Chen nodded and said: "Your mother said that as long as I am the lobbyist, I can do whatever I want to you."

"???"

Shi Xixi was in a daze, with a question mark on her face.

"What's the meaning?"

"That's what I mean."

Shi Xixi was stunned for a while, then hurriedly sat down next to him.

"Tell me more details. What exactly did my mother tell you?"

"Your mother said that she only has one request, that is, Jin Hai must be named Shi."

"Then why did you say that you can... do whatever you want to me?"

"Don't you understand yet?"

Jiang Chen is indeed a very frank person and explained: "Your mother has made it very clear that she will no longer interfere with our dealings. As long as Jin Hai's surname remains unchanged, no matter what happens between us, she will not

I will ask again, but does that mean I can do whatever I want to you?"

This may not sound right, but logically, it is indeed impeccable.

Jiang Chen is not being sentimental, it can be said that this is what Meng Meiling means.

She was indeed a very decisive and wise woman. She knew that in order to get people to do things, she had to offer inducements, so she put forward such a condition that seemed absurd but was actually costless.

At this juncture, she no longer had the energy to interfere in Shi Xixi's private life. Even if she did not put forward such conditions, she already understood her daughter's heart from the chat between her daughter and her in the hospital. Even if she wanted to, she would probably not be able to interfere.

If you can't stop, you might as well just go with the flow and achieve your own goals first.

"Does my mother really support us being together?"

When she heard that her mother had "sold" herself, Miss Shi was not only not angry, but instead looked happy.

Jiang Chen was silent.

He was actually a little resentful about being "morally kidnapped" by Meng Meiling, so he deliberately used the ugly word "do whatever you want".

But he also understood that Meng Meiling's decision was entirely for Shi Qianqian's consideration.

Whether he wants to admit it or not, he does regard this aunt as——

friend.

"You didn't lie to me, did you?"

"If you don't believe it, you can ask your mother yourself."

Shi Qianqian felt relieved, and when Jiang Chen's body suddenly stiffened, she snuggled into his arms and murmured: "For you, I am willing to do anything."

Jiang Chen didn't dare to move, he hesitated to speak, and secretly smiled bitterly.

Unexpectedly, one day he would also use a beauty trick.
