Chapter 38: Not Cooperating With Chen Jia

Chen Desheng was furious, he reprimanded, “No matter what, Chen Jia is still his big brother. Pei Mingchen attacked his big brother because he was angry, which is wrong! Can’t I say that he did something wrong? What right does he have to be resentful? I fed him food and gave him a job. He still has to be resentful. Why is he so unsatisfied?!”

Chen Desheng completely forgot that he had questioned Chen Jia previously when he was being reprimanded by Bai Jin.

Chen Desheng blamed everything on Pei Mingchen, thinking that he was unhappy to have Chen Jia assigned to the project.

Chen Jia suddenly understood and looked at her mother with a smile.

Bai Jin gave him a warning look. Chen Jia immediately stopped smiling and snorted coldly in his heart.

‘Pei Mingchen, just you wait!’

On the other side, Pei Mingchen was still at the Chen Group at 9:00 PM.

.

Mu Qiannian arranged for the people at the Chen Group to report everything that had happened today in detail.

Mu Qiannian rushed to the Chen Group in a hurry.

It was pitch-black in the Chen Group’s office building. Only a faint light could be seen from under the door of Pei Mingchen’s office.

Mu Qiannian pushed the door open and walked in. She saw Pei Mingchen leaning against his office chair. His eyes were staring at the roof without moving.

Hearing the noise, Pei Mingchen was stunned when he saw Mu Qiannian. He quickly hid the absent-minded look on his face and asked, “Why are you here?”

Mu Qiannian placed her bag on the office desk and walked over to Pei Mingchen, wrapping her arms around his neck.

“It’s already 9:00 PM and you still haven’t returned to the hotel. I guessed that you should still be at the office, so I came to see you and pick you up.”

When Pei Mingchen heard this, his gaze fell on the clock on the wall. It was really past 9:00 PM.

Pei Mingchen quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, I forgot the time when I was busy. It’s getting late. Let’s go back!”

Mu Qiannian nodded and went down to the garage. Pei Mingchen was about to sit in the driver’s seat.

However, Mu Qiannian held his hand. “You must be very tired today. I’ll drive.”

Pei Mingchen wanted to refuse, but he received Mu Qiannian’s unyielding gaze. Thus, he obediently sat in the passenger seat.

Mu Qiannian sped past the entrance of the hotel.

If it was in the past, Pei Mingchen would have noticed it immediately.

However, Pei Mingchen was distracted today. He only regained his senses when the car stopped.

He was stunned when he saw the pitch-black bushes around him.

He looked at Mu Qiannian in confusion. “What is this place?”

Mu Qiannian lowered their seats and pressed the button to open the skylight.

Mu Qiannian pointed at the skylight. “Come and look at the moon with me.”

Pei Mingchen suddenly fell silent and looked in the direction Mu Qiannian was pointing at.

He could only see the crescent moon surrounded by many small stars. The quiet atmosphere made his tense emotions relax.

Mu Qiannian looked at Pei Mingchen beside her and saw that he was staring at the sky without blinking.

She said softly, “If you’re unhappy, you have to tell me.”

Pei Mingchen nodded. He did not intend to tell Mu Qiannian about such a troublesome matter.

Mu Qiannian thought about the concerns in his heart and did not force him. Instead, she reached out to grab his hand that was placed on his abdomen and clenched it tightly.

After a long while, Pei Mingchen’s low and weak voice sounded, “Can you accompany me to see the moon more in the future? I don’t want anything else, as long as you accompany me more often.”

Ever since his mother died, Pei Mingchen had always been alone. All this time…

Mu Qiannian’s heart trembled as she agreed firmly.

…

When Old Master Chen found out about this matter, after weighing the pros and cons, he used his own resources to find a good collaboration project for Chen Jia.

Although the collaboration could not be compared to Pei Mingchen’s current project, at least it would not cause gossip as long as Chen Jia could successfully complete the project.

Old Master Chen was ready to find an opportunity to hand over the management of the Chen Group to Chen Jia.

When Pei Mingchen received the news and arrived at the company, he heard people gossiping.

Pei Mingchen’s face was expressionless. He did not show a hint of concern.

Pei Mingchen understood that the old man was starting to prepare for action, wanting to completely cut off his escape route.

However, why was the old man unwilling to believe him?

Pei Mingchen’s goal had never been the Chen family, and his escape route was not like this either.

Because of the injury on Chen Jia’s face, almost all of his office locations were at home.

When Old Master Chen was almost done with his preparations and was ready to bring the documents to the client for an interview, a piece of bad news came.

“Chairman Chen, the project manager of the other company said that they have already discussed the cooperation with other companies. The cooperation with us has been abandoned.”

Old Master Chen frowned. “Did they say which company it was?”

“The other company kept their mouth shut and didn’t reveal which company they were working with. The other company actually gave us a reason why they did not cooperate with us, but…”

Old Master Chen was furious. “But what? What’s with the stuttering?”

“They said that if they had known that the person in charge from Chen Corporation for the project was the Eldest Young Master, they would have chosen not to work with us at the first moment.”

Old Master Chen tried his best to hold in his emotions and hung up the call with his assistant.

Chen Desheng, who was at the side, saw the Old Master’s bad expression and was worried.

“Dad, what did Assistant Sun say?”

Old Man Chen glared at Chen Desheng angrily. “You, go and asked that little b*stard tp come down here for me. Hurry up and go!”

Chen Desheng was shocked. Ever since Old Man Chen retreated behind the scenes, his temper had become much gentler.

Chen Desheng fearfully called the bewildered Chen Jia down.

Chen Jia had just arrived at the living room when Old Master Chen directly hit him with his walking stick.

“You b*stard!”

After the beating, Chen Jia was stunned and looked at Chen Desheng.

“Dad!”

Chen Desheng quickly reached out to press down Old Master Chen’s walking stick and asked, “What exactly happened?”

Old Master Chen reached out his hand and pointed at Chen Jia while trembling in anger.

“Your good son, your good son has become a bug in the business circle. As long as there is business related to him, no one will be willing to cooperate with him. How can I trust him with the Chen Group?!”

Chen Desheng was stunned and his eyes widened. “Dad, could it be that the project has failed?”

Old Master Chen sighed heavily. “They said that as long as it is your son, Chen Jia’s business, they will not do it!”

Chen Jia was also stunned and immediately thought of the ridiculous thing that he did a few days ago.

Although it had been suppressed and resolved, his negative news could not be forgotten by the public so quickly. Could it be because of such a small matter…

However, which company did not talk about cooperation like that? It was just that Chen Jia was anxious at that time and did not pay attention to their privacy, so he was caught by the hateful paparazzi.

Tsk!

Chen Jia was also extremely angry. However, after Chen Desheng was stunned for a while, a hint of joy suddenly appeared on his face.

“Dad, the position can still be handed over to Chen Jia. Don’t we still have Pei Mingchen?”

Old Master Chen looked at him and quickly understood Chen Desheng’s meaning.

Old Master Chen furrowed his brows and recalled the matter of Pei Mingchen attacking Chen Jia, as well as the situation that Chen Jia had described to him.

Pei Mingchen was ambitious and had a certain amount of ability.

However, if Old Master Chen raised Pei Mingchen’s position and gave Pei Mingchen the capital to scheme against Chen Jia in the future, what should he do?
