Chapter 501: Chapter 501: Money is Hard to Earn, Shit is Hard to Eat

Inside the tea room.

Lin Fan and Jiang Lingfeng were sitting inside, savoring tea.

However, Mr. Jiang’s brows were furrowed the whole time.

"Mr. Jiang, are you still worried about Miss Jiang?"

Lin Fan smiled as he poured him a cup of tea.

"Lin, you may laugh at me, but my daughter is defiant by nature, unmanageable ever since she was a child. I spent tens of billions to teach her a lesson, but now it seems, the effect was minimal."

Jiang Lingfeng sighed deeply, "I have two sons and one daughter, each one exceptional, but as you know, both my sons followed the official path. Although they are doing well, they are not suited for business battles and have no interest in managing family business. Therefore, the burden can only fall on Yuting. Unfortunately, she is still young and fails to see through many things. If this continues, she will suffer great losses."

"So that’s why you wanted to take Phoenix as your adopted daughter, to help Miss Jiang protect the Jiang family’s legacy?"

Lin Fan couldn’t help but admire Mr. Jiang’s foresight.

Truly a titan of commerce.

The way he thought about things was indeed different.

"Although Phoenix wandered the streets and engaged in unsavory activities before, in the real business battles, if one truly sets out with a good conscience, they’ll only become prey to others. What Yuting needs most is Phoenix’s ruthlessness, her instinct for weighing pros and cons, and an unscrupulous mindset. But unexpectedly, she turned out so unyielding and stubborn."

Having battled in the business world for a lifetime, Mr. Jiang was well aware of its dark side.

Born with brilliance, Miss Jiang simply could not see those shady corners of the world.

So, let alone fighting for power.

Even guarding her legacy was incredibly difficult.

"Don’t worry. In your eyes, the dragon that defies the heavens might be formidable, but in Feifei’s hands, she is nothing but a small loach, slippery perhaps, but still obedient. Or else, how do you think Phoenix got her twelve golden hairpins and over a thousand followers? No one is better at controlling others than she is."

Lin Fan could clearly see through it all.

That’s why he didn’t intervene the moment Lu Feifei was beaten.

Sometimes, interpersonal relationships also require some manipulation.

Reliance on sincerity alone is insufficient to thrive.

"I hope so, after all, in business, if you’re not advancing, you’re retreating. If she can’t change her mindset, I’d rather sell the corporation to ensure self-preservation. It’s the most foolproof strategy to avoid being burdened by money."

Mr. Jiang sighed.

As an extremely wealthy individual, he was acutely aware of money’s backlash.

By herself, Miss Jiang simply couldn’t hold the fort.

Therefore, she needed strong support.

And naturally, Lin was the obvious choice.

While the two men were enjoying their tea and conversation,

the door to the tea room was knocked. Then Miss Jiang walked in.

"Dad, the dishes are ready, we can dine now!"

While speaking, she naturally reached out to help him up.

"Hm."

Mr. Jiang nodded his head.

He declined her assistance and slowly stood up.

"Dad, don’t be mad at me. I was too rash before. I’ve apologized to sister, and she has forgiven me."

Feeling her father’s coldness, Miss Jiang immediately smiled ingratiatingly.

Her words sweetly littered with ’sister’.

"She forgave you because she respects me. Do you think external forgiveness is true forgiveness? Do you know what she really thinks?"

Mr. Jiang glared at Miss Jiang.

Lacking experience, she didn’t understand matters of human relationships.

"Then I’ll treat her well from now on. Besides, I’ve already discussed with my sister to return to Modu as soon as possible to complete the formalities, and then she can start her new role, helping me manage the entertainment and catering sectors. I think sister is very capable, so I would like to discuss with you about giving her a position in the head office as well. When big or small issues arise, I’d have another person to consult with, don’t you think?"

Jiang Yuting was pleasing Mr. Jiang with an obedient look on her face.

Her attitude was completely different from just a moment ago, like night and day.

Little did she know, she was only trying to divert the topic.

"That’s a good idea, but you don’t need to go back for now, stay in Jiangning and learn more from Fenghuang," Mr. Jiang didn’t get distracted by her words.

Once he had made up his mind about something, how could it possibly change?

"Not go back? How can that be? The multinational project at the company is still ongoing; many issues need to be discussed and resolved in meetings. Moreover, you’re in good health now, and with my second brother taking care of you, isn’t that great? I should go back to guard the Jiang family’s territory."

Jiang Yuting’s heart jolted.

She remembered what Lu Feifei had said earlier.

So instinctively, she glanced at Lin Fan, who was walking behind them.

She feared that everything Lu Feifei predicted would come true.

"What era is it? Aren’t you familiar with video conferencing? Besides, maybe the project would progress even faster without you. Anyway, I’ve made up my mind. You will stay in Jiangning, and you are not allowed to go anywhere. There is a lot for you to learn, and when you’ve learned it, we can discuss other matters," Mr. Jiang spoke with a stern tone, leaving no room for doubt.

This made Jiang Yuting’s heart hang in suspense.

But with Lin Fan present, she couldn’t question her father.

"By the way, didn’t I ask you to borrow money from a friend last night? How much did you borrow?"

While Jiang Yuting was still thinking about how to get out of this situation, Jiang Lingfeng remembered this matter.

It was also a test of friendship.

To let her see the true colors of the people around her.

He intended to give Jiang Yuting a harsh lesson with the outcome.

"There was originally two hundred thousand... but now it’s gone!"

Jiang Yuting glanced at Lin Fan as she mentioned this.

She had given it to him early that morning.

"Gone? You spent two hundred thousand just after leaving the airport? And now you’ve even learned to lie!" Mr. Jiang’s face darkened.

He glared at Jiang Yuting angrily.

"Dad, I didn’t lie... I really borrowed two hundred thousand... if you don’t believe me... you can ask him!"

Jiang Yuting could only point at Lin Fan.

Now, with Lu Feifei not around,

If she were to be hit with a stick again, it would not be worth the loss.

"That’s right, she actually gave it to me. And now, it’s still in my car. But Miss Jiang’s temper is really not ordinary; she gets violent at the drop of a hat and really uses money to hit people. Anyone who marries such a wasteful wife will surely not keep their family wealth," Lin Fan’s sarcasm made Jiang Yuting’s complexion change abruptly.

Not only was this guy not helping, but he was also adding fuel to the fire.

"Lin is right. This is all because I spoiled her. So starting from today, all your bank cards will be taken away, and you’ll be given fifty thousand yuan a month," Mr. Jiang’s words almost made Jiang Yuting cry.

As a super-rich second generation, she was always used to spending lavishly.

"Dad, fifty thousand a month isn’t even enough for food. Aren’t you trying to starve me to death?"

Jiang Yuting had a woeful look on her face.

She didn’t forget to glare fiercely at Lin Fan.

This guy was as repulsive as one could get.

Resentment surged in her heart.
