Chapter 314: 314: Brain-dead doting, Jiang Zhi deals with the Luo Family (second update)

“Moon Bay is surrounded by water on all sides, and if I ever need to live over there, I can’t be dragging you down. At the very least, I should know how to swim.” His family members are all capable of breathing in the water, after all.

He had been afraid of water for eight years.

That year at the Luo Family’s place, she had nearly drowned, and after he jumped in to save her, he was left with a shadow over his heart. In recent years, he would even avoid the swimming pool, let alone get in the water.

“I’ll teach you,” Zhou Xufang asked, “Do you have a swimsuit I could wear?”

Ten minutes later, the swimsuit was delivered.

Jiang Zhi’s main problem was fear of water, a psychological issue.

Zhou Xufang took his hand: “You come into the water with me. If you’re scared, just hold onto me.”

Jiang Zhi agreed.

But as soon as the water reached his head, he began to panic, struggling subconsciously, then an arm wrapped around his waist, which was chillingly cold even in the heated water.

He opened his eyes and saw Zhou Xufang.

“Luo San.”

“Luo San.”

It was the third day since his accident, he had just recovered enough to get out of bed and walk, and he went looking for her.

“Luo San!”

The bald girl stood by the poolside, turned her head when she heard his voice.

He walked over: “What are you doing?”

As he approached, he saw that the pool was full of stones, and she was holding two more; it had rained a few days earlier, and her hands and nails were caked in mud.

“Did you throw these?”

She nodded.

The youth asked her: “Why are you throwing stones into the swimming pool?”

She remained silent, pointing to the water in the pool.

She had heard it from Aunt Liu in the kitchen; Young Master Jiang had been frightened and had developed a fear of water. They had even called a psychologist to see him.

His face was very pale, but he lit up with a smile: “Are you a fool? Don’t you know to come and throw them at night?”

She suddenly realized!

That night, she didn’t sleep a wink, throwing many stones into the Luo Family’s swimming pool, hoping the Luo Family would see it and fill in the pool.

The next day, the second young lady of the Luo Family flew into a rage: “Who threw these stones into the pool?”

The servant responsible for cleaning the pool stuttered and said they didn’t know.

Aunt Liu in the kitchen snitched: “Second Miss, it must have been Luo San, she fell into the water last time. She probably still holds a grudge against you.”

The girl was furious: “Go get Luo San for me!”

Just as Aunt Liu was about to fetch her, Young Master Jiang arrived, weak and frail, holding a handkerchief and coughing: “I threw them.”

The girl who was just full of bluster immediately calmed down: “Jiang, Jiang Zhi.”

It was this sickly boy who had pushed her into the water!

She was absolutely terrified of him!

The boy, weak yet with an arrogant and haughty gaze, said: “I found the pool displeasing to the eye, thought about filling it, is that okay?”

The girl nodded vigorously: “Yes! That’s fine!”

In the blink of an eye, eight years passed.

The once spoiled, wilful girl who bullied the weak and feared the strong had grown into an adult who acted just the same.

“Hu Dingguo, you’re fired,” Luo Yinghe said, sitting in the boss’s chair, twirling a pen, and uttered those words arrogantly.

The renowned executive, Hu Dingguo.

The Luo Corporation was where he had dedicated his entire youth; even now, at its lowest point, he remained loyal. Suddenly receiving a termination notice, he thought he would be inconsolably sad, but instead, he felt relieved, liberated.

“Really?” Thank you, Chairman!

Luo Yinghe threw the pen in his hand at his head: “You seem quite excited.”

Was it that obvious?

“How could that be?” Even in the last second on the job, he would never let his guard down, “I’m truly sorry that I can’t work with the chairman anymore.”

The chairman, who had nothing to do but shake his legs in his boss chair, said, “Idiot, it’s April Fool’s Day, I’m just fooling you.”

“…”

The company is about to go under! Please, just go under!

Hu Dingguo was genuinely so exhausted that he could hardly breathe, barely hanging on with sheer willpower, he took a deep breath and continued to report, “Regarding that collaboration project with JC—”

Luo Yinghe showed no interest and cut him off, “How about the task I gave you?”

“I’ve already met with Xiao Yusheng’s agent.”

“What did he say?”

Hu Dingguo shook his head, “They have no plans to break the contract for now.” Give up! Stop dreaming about chasing men and focus on your work!

When Luo Yinghe heard Xiao Yusheng’s agent refused, she became irate, kicking chairs, pounding the desk, even throwing documents at people, “Did you mention the offer I made?”

This hothead!

Hu Dingguo quickly stepped back, “I did.”

Bang!

Luo Yinghe kicked the computer tower.

Hu Dingguo put down the folder, “There’s a problem with that JC project.” He stepped back even further, “The order quantity is too large, the risk of one-time purchase—”

She wasn’t listening, already dialing a number on her phone.

“Are you Xiao Yusheng’s agent?”

Yang Xi asked on the phone, “Who is this?”

“I am the Chairman of Luo Family.” Her irritable spirit only subsided a bit at the mention of the word “Chairman.”

Impressive, right? Scared now?

That was the idea.

Yang Xi awkwardly said, “Chairman Luo, hello.”

Chairman Luo’s tone was arrogant, overbearing, “Just state your terms. What will it take for you to get Yun Sheng to sign with Tianxing?”

We’ll have to wait for you to step down before considering.

Yang Xi gave the official response, “We currently have no plans to break the—”

Luo Yinghe snorted with impatience, “As long as Yun Sheng comes over, I can make him the deputy chairman.”

Yang Xi: “…”

Hu Dingguo: “…”

Heavens! If Luo Family doesn’t go under, it would be a miracle.

With a loud bang, Luo Changfang burst in, her eyes wide with rage, “Luo Yinghe!”

Luo Yinghe glanced at her, “Pass my message to Yun Sheng, if he wants to be the deputy chairman, he should contact me soon.” With that, she hung up the phone, “What are you ranting about? I’m not deaf.”

Slam!

Luo Changfang slammed some documents down on the desk, “Did you sign this?”

Luo Yinghe flipped it open to look, “I signed it, what’s the problem?”

The other party came to accuse and had a foul expression, pressing aggressively, “Why don’t I or the board know about this?”

Luo Yinghe was dismissive, “It’s hilarious, does the Chairman need to report to you?” She snorted, “I secured a big deal, and you’re here making a fuss. Are you jealous of me stealing the spotlight?”

Such an arrogant idiot!

Luo Changfang had the urge to slap her to death, “You dare sign such a huge deal on your own, JC is such a big company that even the Jiang Family and Lu Family are cautious around them. Working with them, the slightest mistake, and Luo Family is finished.”

Ignoring the Jiang and Lu Families to cooperate, picking the Luo Family, only this fool couldn’t see through the deceit.

Luo Yinghe was still humming and hawing impatiently, “As long as there are no issues, it will be fine.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than the secretary knocked and entered.

“Chairman,” the secretary said, “there’s an issue with that batch from JC.”

Luo Changfang immediately asked, “What’s the problem?”

“The equipment from that batch failed the inspection, the quality control department has issued a report saying the components are not compatible, we need to redevelop.”
