Chapter 814: Threatened
“Not bad, Ye ‘Er, well done!” After knowing the result, Gong Tianhao praised him without holding back. “They never thought that you would install an invisible camera!”
Xiao Lingye said with a smile, “One cannot be too careful. At first, I trusted my partners, but as the company developed, they seemed to be more and more dissatisfied with me taking a large share of the company. I had to be more careful!”
Gong Tianhao sighed and said, “Ye ‘Er, your growth is really impressive!”
The children of the Xiao family were indeed smart and outstanding.
Xiao Lingye said humbly, “My brother-in-law is the emperor of the business world. If I can’t even handle this, I would definitely be laughed at.”
As Xiao Lingye said this, he suddenly thought of something and asked, “Brother-in-law, the results of the school’s treatment of Su Yang and the others are out today. They were expelled. Did you intervene?”
Based on the family background and financial resources of these five people, as long as their families made little contribution to the school, they would not be expelled. However, the fact was that they had been expelled. The person who would interfere in this matter could only be her brother-in-law.
His sister didn’t have this weight in Beijing.
Gong Tianhao nodded his head in a protective manner, “Yes, those people actually dared to scheme against you. Naturally, they will be punished. It’s already magnanimous of me to only have the school expel them and not attack their family.”
Xiao Lingye said gratefully, “Thank you, brother-in-law!”
Gong Tianhao immediately brought up another matter and said, “The reason why those five idiots suddenly attacked you at the same time was because they were bewitched by a woman.”
Xiao Lingye was slightly puzzled. “Woman? Who is it?”
“Jiang Shuyu!” Gong Tianhao said.
Xiao Lingye was slightly surprised. “Jiang Shuyu? How could this be? Other than rejecting her, I haven’t offended her.”
Gong Tianhao smiled and said, “Ye ‘Er, you don’t understand women, right? Jiang Shuyu was born into the Jiang family. She came from a wealthy family and had good looks. Such a woman will be very proud and even conceited.
“She thinks that since she likes you, you must like her. But you rejected her, making her feel that she has lost face. This woman is very narrow-minded and wants to take revenge on you. She wants to see you in a sorry state and even lose your reputation. She wants you to face the consequences of rejecting her.”
Xiao Lingye opened his mouth in shock and said in disbelief, “Is there something wrong with her?”
Such a woman was really too terrifying. Xiao Lingye felt a chill run down his spine.
Gong Tianhao smiled and said, “Of course, her brain has a big problem. Their problem is that they are too conceited and arrogant. They want all the men in the world to revolve around them.”
This was the first time Xiao Lingye had encountered something like this. Xiao Lingye came to his senses and asked in surprise, “So Su Yang, Qiao Ruoyang, and the others betrayed me and framed me because of Jiang Shuyu?”
“Yes.” The corner of Gong Tianhao’s mouth curled up as he said, “She promised to be their girlfriend after they kicked you out of the company and the Imperial University?”
“Their girlfriend?” Hearing this answer, Xiao Lingye asked in shock, “How could she be their girlfriend at the same time?”
Gong Tianhao only revealed a sarcastic smile and didn’t directly answer Xiao Lingye.
Xiao Lingye said in astonishment after he realized the truth. “I have no idea she’d be so crazy. It’s unbelievable. Fortunately, I really don’t like that woman. Otherwise…” it was impossible to know how many times he would have been cuckolded.
Gong Tianhao said, “You can’t tell a person’s heart from her face! When looking for a woman, you can’t just find a beautiful one. You have to find a suitable one.”
Xiao Lingye rolled his eyes and asked curiously, “Brother-in-law, how did you take a fancy to my sister back then? Wasn’t it because she was pretty?”
“Of course not!” Gong Tianhao denied it.
“It wasn’t?” Xiao Lingye was a little puzzled. “Then, does that mean my sister wasn’t pretty enough?”
“Of course not.” Gong Tianhao added, “Your sister is quite pretty, the most beautiful woman.”
“So, brother-in-law, did you fall in love with my sister because she was beautiful or not?” Xiao Lingye asked with a smile.
“Erm. How shall I explain it?” Gong Tianhao thought for a while and said, “Fate made us fall in love, didn’t it?”
At this point, he paused for a while and then said, “Of course, when fate comes, you have to take action. You also know that I was the one who pursued your sister back then. Your sister was moved to marry me in the end, right?”
“…” Xiao Lingye was silent for a long time before nodding and agreeing, “Yes, you’re right! Back then, you were indeed the one who pursued my sister!” He did not expect that his brother-in-law’s skin was getting thicker and thicker! But that was also true. If not for his brother-in-law’s thick skin, he would not have been able to pursue his sister.
At that time, his sister was in a state of emotional distress. How could she be so easily moved?
Gong Tianhao asked, “You sold the shares. Do you have any plans now?”
Xiao Lingye thought for a moment and said truthfully, “I sold the shares of the company as a temporary plan. Teng Fei technology company is like my child. I can’t just give it away.”
“Oh, so you do have a plan.” Gong Tianhao asked with some interest.
Xiao Lingye nodded, “That’s right. With the current achievements of Teng Fei technology company, other than my excellent skills, I was the one who negotiated the cooperation orders with many enterprises. Now that I’ve left that company, those partners will cancel their orders one after another. Therefore, Teng Fei technology company will soon lose its orders. A company without business will soon face bankruptcy.”
Gong Tianhao immediately understood Xiao Lingye’s meaning. He said with a serious expression, “So, at that time, you can take the opportunity to buy everyone’s shares.”
“Yes!” Xiao Lingye nodded, “A company with no orders and no business will definitely be sold when it is on the verge of bankruptcy. At that time, I will take back the company.”
Gong Tianhao agreed with him and nodded, “Yes, that’s right. If you need brother-in-law’s help in the future, don’t be shy. Just say the word.”
Xiao Lingye nodded, “Yes, thank you, brother-in-law. I will definitely do that.”
Now that he had a backer, he had confidence.
Xiao Lingye suddenly thought of something and asked, “Brother-in-law, do you know the President of Xun Teng technology company, Lei Junshan?”
Gong Tianhao said with a smile, “Yes, that’s right. He’s a classmate of mine from university. Why?”
Xiao Lingye immediately understood when he heard that. He said, “So, manager Zhang of Li Fei technology company suddenly changed his words because of Master Lei.”
“Master Lei?” Gong Tianhao was a little puzzled.
“Oh, it’s President Lei Junshan!” Xiao Lingye said with a smile, “People in our industry are used to calling him a master.”
Gong Tianhao nodded to show that he understood. Then, he said, “Well, I know you’re in this industry, so I mentioned it to Lei Junshan. He said that you’re a talent and wanted to train you as a disciple. He volunteered to help you.”
Xiao Lingye’s eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, “Brother-in-law, is what you said true? Master Lei wants to take me as a disciple?! Wait. He is not doing this because of you, right?”
When Gong Tianhao heard this, he immediately knocked on his head and said with a laugh, “How is this possible? What kind of person do you think Lei Junshan is? He doesn’t take anyone as his disciple. He won’t compromise because of anyone.”
Xiao Lingye rubbed his head and said with a silly smile, “I just can’t believe such a fact.”
Hearing that Lei Junshan would accept him as his disciple, Xiao Lingye could not calm down. He was very excited, but he was worried that he would not be able to impress Lei Junshan.
Gong Tianhao looked at him and said with a laugh, “Don’t worry. Junshan told me that your talent is not bad. He is definitely going to accept you as his disciple. Two days ago, he went to school to look for you. In fact, he wanted to see your ability and character. In the end, he was quite satisfied.”
The main reason was that Xiao Lingye had talent and ability. Furthermore, he had no problems with his character.
Anyone would like a child like him.
Furthermore, Xiao Lingye was able to turn the tables when no one knew of his identity and background. He was a country bumpkin who no one thought had any backing.
Most importantly, Xiao Lingye was able to remain calm and composed throughout the entire situation. He did not panic.
Hence, Lei Junshan was impressed at once. Taking him in as a disciple was not out of respect for Gong Tianhao.
Xiao Lingye rubbed his hands and was so excited that he did not know what to do. Then, he said to Gong Tianhao, “Brother-in-law, after I become Master Lei’s disciple, I will definitely continue to work hard. I will work hard and not lose my master’s face.”
Gong Tianhao smiled and said, “You should tell this to your future master.”
At this point, Gong Tianhao said, “In two days, we will have a meal with your master. Also, call your sister along.”
This meal was very likely to be a teacher-disciple ceremony. It would definitely be better to call Xiao Lingyu along.
“Thank you, brother-in-law!” Xiao Lingye said with a smile.
…
On the other side, after Jiang Shuyu learned that Su Yang and the others had been expelled from the imperial university, she felt a little flustered and uneasy.
Soon, the messages came.
“Jiang Shuyu, we were instigated and instructed by you to frame Xiao Lingye. Now that we have been expelled, you must give us an explanation. Either the school will take back this punishment, or you will admit to the whole school that you were the one who wanted to take revenge on Xiao Lingye and seduce us with your beauty.” Su Yang said fiercely.
“How dare you!” After Jiang Shuyu received this threatening phone call from Su Yang, she was so angry that her face turned ashen. She gritted her teeth and said furiously, “It was you who did something treacherous for your own interests. I only said a few words. I did nothing.”
Before Su Yang called Jiang Shuyu, he had already predicted that she would say something like this. “That’s right. You did nothing. You didn’t kiss me, no, wait. You didn’t kiss us. You also didn’t promise to have sex with us. Actually, wait, you did.” Su Yang deliberately emphasized the word ‘us’.
Jiang Shuyu’s face turned pale. She anxiously and angrily asked, “Su Yang, you bastard, what do you mean by this?”
Su Yang sneered, “What else can I mean? My meaning is very simple! Since Miss Jiang wants to play dumb with me, I might as well tell you the truth. Miss Jiang, not only did you use your own beauty to tempt me, but you also used your beauty to tempt other men. Miss Jiang, is that clear enough?”
By then, it was pointless for Jiang Shuyu to continue pretending.
“Oh, right, Miss Jiang, I’m not the only one who knows about this. They also know,” Su Yang added.
Jiang Shuyu’s face instantly turned green and white. She shouted anxiously and angrily, “You bastards!”
These were untrustworthy people. They had promised her that they wouldn’t tell anyone about their relationship. But in the end?
Jiang Shuyu took a deep breath and pretended to be calm as she asked, “What exactly do you want?”
Su Yang sneered, “We don’t want anything. We just want to go back to school and at least let us stay until we graduate. This request isn’t too much, right? With Miss Jiang’s ability, this is a small matter.”
Jiang Shuyu angrily said, “How is this a small matter? When I first found out that you were in danger of being expelled, I tried my best, but the school insisted on expelling you. What can I do?”
Jiang Shuyu didn’t lie. Back then, she had tried to plead with the school admin, but the school insisted on expelling them. There was nothing she could do about it
Su Yang only wanted results and wasn’t willing to listen to her explanation. He sneered again, “Miss Jiang, haven’t you always been bragging about being a member of the Jiang Family? You might be powerless, but Jiang Family is powerful.”
“I…” Jiang Shuyu’s face was livid with anger. She really wanted to refuse, but now the evidence was in the hands of the other party.
She was extremely regretful now.
If she had known that it would be so troublesome later on, she would not have been willing to sacrifice her reputation to scheme against Xiao Lingye.
Now, she felt like she was lifting a stone to hit her own foot.
Xiao Lingye was fine now. He lost his company, but the amount of money he received was twice the value of his original shares. It was a huge advantage. Most importantly, his reputation was not harmed at all.
On the contrary, the five men were simply idiots. They said that they were wealthy businessmen in the capital, but they were worse than a peasant from the countryside. They failed to set one peasant up, and they were set up instead.
Most importantly, the fact that she had used them was exposed too. If she didn’t handle this properly, her reputation would be greatly damaged.
She was Jiang Shuyu, the campus belle of imperial university, the goddess of all the boys. Her image couldn’t be ruined.
Jiang Shuyu took a deep breath and said, “Alright, I’ll handle this matter as soon as possible. But…” Speaking up to this point, Jiang Shuyu warned sternly, “I don’t want to hear any news about me. Otherwise, your families will be waiting for the Jiang family’s revenge!”
Their families did have some money, but even if they joined forces, they were nothing in front of the Jiang family.
Therefore, if the Jiang family wanted to destroy them, it would be a very simple matter.
Su Yang smiled and said, “Miss Jiang, don’t worry. What we want now is reparation. As long as you do good by us, you’ll still be the goddess in the hearts of all the male students, right?”
Jiang Shuyu angrily hung up the phone.
She was angry and hateful!
But what could she do?
