Chapter 1411: Chapter 1401: Technical Director_2

”What? You’re not joking, right!?” Old Xu on the phone straight-up yelled. This news was way too shocking!

Based on the information Old Xu currently had, Jiang Cheng was a computer genius, which already made the district pay a lot of attention to him. But now they’d discovered he was actually a martial arts expert from Wujiang as well! How could that not be shocking! Looked like the contact plan they’d drawn up before needed to be completely revised.

”I’m serious. I saw it with my own eyes today, and I didn’t even see him actually throw a punch. I don’t know if his overall strength is as powerful as his Lightweight Technique.” Tang Yuan said lightly. He suddenly felt a desire to trade blows with Jiang Cheng. It had been many years—so many years since Tang Yuan had wanted to fight anyone. But today, Jiang Cheng stirred up his battle spirit.

”Got it. I’ll head to Q Mansion tomorrow. Before I arrive, I’m going to have to trouble you to keep a close eye on him.” Old Xu decided he would go to Q Mansion in person to meet him tomorrow.

”Okay.” Tang Yuan agreed.

After hanging up, Old Xu fell into deep thought. Just what kind of person was this Jiang Cheng? Was the existence of someone like him ultimately a good thing or a bad thing for the district?

Night fell, and 617 once again sank into silence.

The next day, the rising sun in the east once again lit up the eastern land. It was already spring; the sunlight was no longer as powerless as in winter, nor as cruel as in summer. The warm sunshine made everyone who got up early feel comfortable. For people who loved to exercise, weather like this was a gift. Early in the morning, in parks and residential complexes, folks heading out for jogs and workouts in ones and twos had already left their homes and begun their morning training.

The plan of each day lies in the morning.

Early that morning, aside from Old Ma and Old Zhang, Old Xiao and Old Shen had already arrived at the company, and the employees were also drifting in in ones and twos.

”Yo, Old Jiang, you didn’t go home to sleep last night? You two had a fight?” Old Xiao asked. In everyone’s eyes at Tencent Company, the relationship between Jiang Cheng and Zhang Mengmeng was something that needed no explanation at all.

”Sigh, don’t bring it up. I feel awful. Once the location for our new office is settled, we’ve got to buy the best sofa we can find!” Jiang Cheng said with feeling. The sofa Tencent Company was using right now was seriously low-grade—small and hard.

Spending the whole night on it, even with Jiang Cheng’s physical fitness, his waist and back were still sore. If it had been anyone else, it really would’ve been impossible to sleep.

”Hahaha, absolutely, absolutely. The sofa is a man’s second bed!” Old Xiao and Old Shen both had ”I get it” written all over their faces. Jiang Cheng didn’t bother explaining further; sometimes saying nothing was better than saying everything. ”Where are Old Ma and Old Zhang? Why haven’t I seen the two of them?” Jiang Cheng glanced around the office; almost everyone was there, except Old Zhang and Old Ma.

”Tsk, the two of them pulled some strings yesterday and found out there’s a skyscraper up for public auction at the city center today. They went to check out the situation. Anyway, there’s nothing much going on at the company today, so the two of them went together.” Old Shen said.

”I see. Since there’s nothing going on at the company today, I’m not staying here either. I’m going to go buy a place and buy a car.” Jiang Cheng said.

”Tsk tsk tsk, just got a bit of money and already starting up that bourgeois decadent lifestyle? Not bad, not bad, haha.” Old Xiao teased.

”Haha, come on, come on. If I don’t buy a place and keep renting forever, that’s not right either. Gotta have a home of my own, no?” Jiang Cheng said. Old Xiao and Old Shen nodded in agreement.

In the Hua Family, buying a house was absolutely the number one priority in ordinary people’s hearts. In the minds of ordinary folks from the Hua Family, a house was the foundation of a family. Only when you had a place of your own did you truly have a foothold, a place to shelter you from the wind and rain. Getting married without a car, fine; but if you don’t have a house—sorry, no wedding. That’s the local sentiment in the Hua Family region. ”Oh, to have a million spacious mansions, so that all the world’s poor could smile in comfort.” A poet a hundred years ago had already voiced such a sentiment, which shows just how much space the idea of a house occupies in the hearts of the Hua Family people.

”About ten minutes till eight.” Old Shen replied.

”Then let’s wait a bit. No rush for a few minutes.” Jiang Cheng said. ”What’s up? You waiting on someone?” Old Xiao asked. ”Yeah, waiting for a beauty.” Jiang Cheng joked. ”A beauty? Old Jiang, you gotta give me a shot here! Your big brother is this age and still single!” Old Xiao looked impatient and eager. ”Uh, I don’t think she’s right for you. Not your type. Next time, next time I’ll definitely introduce you to someone perfect for you!” Jiang Cheng said. It wasn’t that Jiang Cheng didn’t want to create an opportunity for Old Xiao; it was that he felt Wen Xiaobai and Old Xiao were simply from different worlds, totally incompatible. Jiang Cheng didn’t want Old Xiao to just settle for some woman for the rest of his life.

”Since you’re saying it like that, alright then.” Old Xiao trusted Jiang Cheng a lot. Since Jiang Cheng had said so, there must be a reason.

In the blink of an eye, eight o’clock arrived.

Xiaobai appeared in front of Jiang Cheng right on time.

Today, Wen Xiaobai was dressed in full professional bodyguard gear: a dark women’s suit, sunglasses, and a high ponytail, giving off an air of heroic coolness.

Wen Xiaobai walked into the company, spotted Jiang Cheng at a glance, and walked straight up to him.

”I’m here. Tell me, what do you need me to do?” With that aggrieved tone, plus the aggrieved look Wen Xiaobai gave Jiang Cheng, Old Xiao standing to the side instantly understood—there was something going on between these two!

No wonder he’d said we weren’t suitable. Turns out she was Old Jiang’s woman. Sigh, people compare people and get mad. Old Jiang doesn’t even look as handsome as me, so how come all the women around him are this good-looking?

Jiang Cheng had no idea what Old Xiao was thinking right then; if he had, he would’ve sprayed a mouthful of Sprite all over Old Xiao’s face.

”Come, come, let me introduce you. This is Old Xiao, Old Shen. This is the new manager I hired for our company’s security department, Wen Xiaobai.”

”Miss Wen! Hello, hello!” Old Xiao and Old Shen both greeted her enthusiastically. But inside they were really puzzled—why had Old Jiang found a young woman to be the head of security? However, after the oddity that was Zhang Mengmeng, the two of them didn’t dare look down on anyone Jiang Cheng introduced, so they were especially warm.

”Alright, we’ll just get acquainted for now. I’m going to go find Zhang Mengmeng; the three of us are going to buy a house and a car.” Once Jiang Cheng finished speaking, he left with Wen Xiaobai, leaving the two of them in the office marveling at the gap between people.

Out the company doors, Jiang Cheng first called Zhang Mengmeng. In his mind, after a whole night, her anger should’ve more or less cooled.

Jiang Cheng was underestimating Zhang Mengmeng a bit. In fact, she hadn’t really been angry that day. She knew Jiang Cheng hadn’t done it on purpose; she’d just felt embarrassed. After all, as a girl, having a guy see your body—anyone would feel awkward about that.

But after a night for things to settle, Zhang Mengmeng’s awkwardness had eased a lot. So when she got Jiang Cheng’s call, she still happily rushed over to the company, especially since Jiang Cheng had said he’d treat her to a big feast at noon. That only made her even more excited.

Not long after, Zhang Mengmeng took a taxi to the company entrance. As soon as she got out, she saw Jiang Cheng and Wen Xiaobai waiting nearby. 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

Zhang Mengmeng walked up to the two of them, curiously glanced at Wen Xiaobai in her full-on tough bodyguard getup, then looked over at Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng understood what she meant, so he began to introduce them: ”This is Zhang Mengmeng, Tencent Company’s technical director, and also the most important person to me in this world. This is Wen Xiaobai, the bodyguard I hired for you and also the new security department manager. She’s a martial arts expert from Wujiang.” Jiang Cheng introduced the two women to each other.

Just a moment ago, Zhang Mengmeng had still been feeling a bit upset that Jiang Cheng had said they were going to buy a house but had brought another woman along. But when she heard him introduce her as the most important person to him in this world, that little bit of resentment vanished, and even the lingering awkwardness from before disappeared without a trace.
