Chapter 15 Sneak Attack
Shen hope then relayed Xia Yi's words to Jiang Huaimeng verbatim.
Jiang Huaimeng found this intriguing: "So, he wants to join us? And he even plans to recruit my people to do business together?"
"Well, he said he really likes the entertainment industry, but Mr. Jiang, I think he's getting stranger and stranger. Didn't he say he was going to invest in a hospital? How come he's suddenly interested in the entertainment industry now?"
Upon hearing this question, Jiang Huaimeng suddenly smiled, a faint joy appearing on her lips.
He closed the magazine and said smugly:
"Xiao hope, you don't understand men's thinking in this regard. He invested all his wealth in the hospital to treat my illness because he secretly loved me and that's why he did it, not because he liked the hospital industry. This doesn't conflict with his desire to invest in the entertainment industry."
She countered Shen hope's question with, "And do you really think Lin Zheng has a deep understanding of the hospital industry?"
Shen hope shook his head: "I'm not sure, but I guess they don't understand it. At least, I didn't find any information about it in my investigation."
"So," Jiang Huaimeng said, a secret joy welling up inside, "he doesn't understand medicine; he's just doing this for me."
Jiang Huaimeng pondered carefully what Lin Zheng had said to Xia Yi.
"Wow, this is so difficult! Sigh, Xia Yi, look at me, I'm getting married soon, about to have a wife and kids, a warm bed. I only joined because I wanted to make something of myself; a head of the household can't just laze around all day, can he?"
Hmm, he's quite ambitious...
And it's not without reason; men should always have some kind of career.
Especially for men who are about to have a wife, only by making a name for themselves in their careers can they inspire their women to admire them and be devoted to them.
That's probably what he was thinking... wanting to make money to support me? To make me admire him or something.
That's why the phrase "head of the family" was added to the last sentence.
"President Jiang? How should we handle this matter..." Shen hope became even more puzzled when he saw Jiang Huaimeng smiling but not speaking.
Since that night, President Jiang has often smiled like this these past two days.
This has never happened before.
Jiang Huaimeng took a sip of tea and stared into the distance:
"Since he wants to do business, let him do it. Originally, my purpose in creating this organization was simply to have them kill those I didn't like and destroy the companies I hated."
However, as the organization grows larger, the placement of these people has indeed become a problem, leading to frequent chaos. Today, there was even a traitor. In that case, why not let Lin Zheng give it a try? Perhaps he can really succeed. This would ease our financial burden and give these people a stable place to go.
Jiang Huaimeng looked at Shen hope:
"Have someone inform Xia Yi tomorrow and tell him to agree to Lin Zheng joining the group. The fact that Xia Yi's people betrayed him this time indirectly proves that Xia Yi is too careless and unsuitable to be a leader."
"Lin Zheng will be in charge of the Southwest District from now on. Xia Yi should cooperate with him. This will serve as punishment for Xia Yi's oversight today, allowing her to make amends."
Shen hope was surprised that Jiang Huaimeng not only agreed, but also immediately offered him a leadership position:
"Let Xia Yi follow him? Let him be the leader? But President Jiang, Xia Yi still has at least seventy or eighty people under her now, and these people are not easy to deal with. If we rashly let Lin Zheng take the lead, I'm afraid it won't go so smoothly."
Jiang Huaimeng lowered her head and grabbed a strand of her hair with her hand:
"Then you should have Xia Yi protect him. If Lin Zheng gets injured because of his men causing trouble, Xia Yi should repay him tenfold and then deal with the people who hurt him. But I don't think that kind of problem will happen."
Whenever she thought about how someone had secretly loved her for so long, her heart would flutter with excitement, and her cool gaze would carry a hint of expectation.
"Xiao hope, don't you think Lin Zheng is actually a very talented person? In his eyes, Xia Yi and the others were kidnappers, but Lin Zheng not only didn't hold a grudge about what happened that day, but also became friends with Xia Yi and became her savior."
He even plans to use Xia Yi's group of underlings for business. With his intelligence, ambition, and playful nature, I don't think this little thing will be a problem for him; he'll handle it.
Jiang Huai had a thought and reminded Shen hope: "But don't let him have it too easy. There's no need to specifically tell people in other areas to help him. Let him explore on his own. It's okay if he has some minor troubles now and then."
That way, at some point in the future, he can confide in me about his career troubles, and as his fiancée, I can comfort and encourage him.
Then I'll secretly help him solve these problems, and he'll definitely think I'm not only understanding but also gentle and considerate—a perfect fiancée.
Shen hope didn't understand what President Jiang was thinking, but she would obey orders.
"I understand, Mr. Jiang. I will only explain this to Xia Yi and will not tell anyone else."
Jiang Huaimeng put the magazine aside: "By the way, you just said that Lin Zheng helped Xia Yi escape, and Xia Yi was injured. What about Lin Zheng? Was he injured?"
"It's just some superficial injuries; Xia Yi's sister gave him some basic treatment."
Jiang Huaimeng abruptly stopped, her previously smug expression turning icy as she looked up again: "Xia Yi's sister? How did he handle it? Did the two of them become friends?"
Shen hope noticed a clear change in President Jiang's expression:
"They just applied some medicine, but Xia Yi's sister cried a lot because of her injury. Apart from greeting each other, the two didn't speak to each other at all. Later, her sister went back to her room and didn't pay much attention to Lin Zheng."
Jiang Huaimeng's eyes softened: "I see."
As it began to get dark, Jiang Huaimeng suddenly had a whim: "Xiao hope, have someone go to my room and get the ointment. Come with me out for a bit, somewhere."
--------
At the same time, after returning from Xia Yi's place, Lin Zheng went to a high-end restaurant and had a simple meal of lobster noodles.
Since I'm using my family's credit card anyway, I might as well use it.
He won't spend his own money.
I have to say, the food at this five-star restaurant is perfect except for the price. They even have Liubiju pickles, which are absolutely delicious.
After slurping down his lobster noodles and paying the bill, Lin Zheng thought that Xia Yi should now tell Shen hope everything that had happened that day.
Shen hope should have already passed it on to Jiang Huaimeng.
That should get them to agree to let me join soon, right?
After all, once I join the organization, Jiang Huaimeng will think she can easily know everything about me, so there's no reason for her to disagree.
All I can say is, Shen Xi, you'll be my messenger and bodyguard for now.
Lin Zheng didn't want to go home tonight; the house was a chaotic mess.
Why not book a hotel room and relax properly?
After driving to a luxury hotel and getting a room number, Lin Zheng took off his clothes and went to the bathroom to wash away the day's fatigue.
I checked today's rewards while taking a shower.
[Changed the ending progress by 0.7%]
You have gained five skill points.
Five o'clock?
So many! Yay!
No, wait... I'll fuck your mother! I only gained 0.1 progress points for surviving, but Xia Yi gained 0.5 for surviving, right?!
So I'm only worth one-fifth of Xia Yi?!
So cheap!
Filled with intense anger, Lin Zheng ordered the system panel to allocate points drastically.
[Strength: 1]
【Energy: 0】
[Lying Trait Level: 1]
Available skill points: 5
This time, there's no doubt that I'll increase my stamina; let's activate the basic skills first.
System added...
Before Lin Zheng could finish speaking, he suddenly felt his vision blur and his consciousness gradually faded.
Lin Zheng, who could barely stand, leaned against the wall, wondering what was wrong. He felt like he couldn't breathe.
It can't be... the system adding energy points! Quick!
[Add points successfully]
As those four words popped into his mind, Lin Zheng also fainted in the bathroom.
The bathroom door was gently pulled open a moment later, and Shen hope looked down at Lin Zheng, who was naked under the showerhead, with a slight frown.
