Chapter 39 – I can’t believe that’s how you look at us (1)
Even though Fang JunRong hasn’t been involved in the company’s business, she would still join Li WangJin in attending some banquets occasionally. In the past, she’d go into work mode and see if she could nail down a few contracts for the company during these banquets, but now…
She had no interest in the company that was taken over by Li WangJin’s men. She didn’t care if it went out of business, as long as it didn’t happen until after her divorce. As such, she laid back in a corner and leisurely enjoyed the o’deurs at the banquet, even commenting on them from time to time.
In the past, Li WangJin didn’t care for his wife’s persistently meddling in the company’s business when she could just be a stay-at-home pampered wife. But now that he saw her being completely disengaged, he was slightly displeased.
A few new policies had been rolled out this year, and the company had a hard time keeping up with them. The company had suffered a minor setback this quarter. A few influential Second Generation Richs were also here at this banquet. Fang JunRong went to high school with a couple of them and has decent relationships with them. He brought Fang JunRong with him today because he hoped that she’d be able to get some information from her old classmates.
He chatted with a few other CEOs and finally couldn’t help but walk over to Fang JunRong. He put on a gentle smile. As though he worried about startling her, his voice was as tender as it could be. “JunRong, I saw a couple of your old friends over there. Don’t you want to go chat with them?”
Fang JunRong looked over in the direction that he had indicated. Surrounded by a group of people, there was He JianBin, one of her high school classmates. He JianBin was from one of the old monies in City S. Her family had been around for tens of years and could certainly be considered as eminent. Plus, her family was very closed to many important people in Capital City and would have first-hand news many times.
Fang JunRong had a pretty good relationship with He JianBin. They weren’t as close as she and Xu WeiWei, but they were still quite close. Part of the reason the Li’s Company was able to grow so much was because of the Fong’s network.
She recalled that the He’s was one of the old-timers of City S, that is, until He ShuHua, He JianBin’s niece, decided to fall for Wang Xiao, the prince of the underworld. She wanted to become his fiancée no matter what. Once she knew of Jiang YaGe, she started to target her. Wang Xiao, who was madly in love with Jiang YaGe, backed Jiang YaGe and set the He’s up. In the end, he sent many of the He’s members to jail. He was then able to pick up a lot of what was left behind by the He’s and became the top dog of City S.
Once again, the romance brain could be very detrimental! Especially for the niece of He JianBin. For the sake of pleasing Wang Xiao, she even stole some of her family secrets and handed them over to him. She had definitely played a big role in the fast collapse of the He’s.
As for Wang Xiao, Fang JunRong hated his guts. Not only was he the culprit that led to her daughter’s death, he was also a very ruthless person. He had no regards for morals or laws and would do whatever that pleased him. He would not hesitate to target anyone who wasn’t nice to Jiang YaGe. He brought destruction upon several families.
