Scumbag Forcing Me to Divorce? Watch Me Turn Around and Marry a Powerful Capital Tycoon! - Chapter 10

Topple Cheng Corporation?
Help Excite Games survive the crisis?
Soar straight to the summit?
Win the Skydome Award?

Wang Shengli looked at Jiang Ning, a bit helpless.

“Little girl, you don’t look old enough to talk so big.”

How old was Jiang Ning?
No more than seventeen or eighteen at most!
What could she possibly understand?
At her age, she probably couldn’t even read a simple financial report.

Jiang Ning just smiled faintly.

“President Wang, your company is already on its last legs.
If you don’t inject fresh blood and launch a new game soon, bankruptcy is the only option.
Are you really willing to let all your years of hard work be defeated by Cheng Corp just like that?”

That last sentence struck right at his heart.

Excite Games was Wang Shengli’s lifelong dream.
He had registered the company before even graduating, hoping it would become a shining milestone in gaming history.

But now?
It was on the verge of dying before it even bloomed.

The pain almost made it hard for Wang Shengli to breathe.

“I may be young, but President Wang—did you forget?
When you founded Excite Games, you were only twenty.”

She pulled out her ID and placed it gently on the table.

“Jiang Ning. Nineteen years old.”

Wang Shengli raised his eyes again and studied the girl sitting before him carefully.

Though young, her aura was exceptional—her words measured and intelligent.
She wasn’t an ordinary kid.

He couldn’t help but be reminded of himself at her age.
Back then, he too was full of ambition and spirit.

Still, Wang Shengli remained cautious, narrowing his eyes.

“But why should I trust you?”

Jiang Ning tapped her fingers lightly on the table.

“President Wang, what do you have left worth deceiving me over?
Instead of sitting back to die, waiting to be replaced by Cheng Corp—
why not fight for survival with everything you’ve got?
Choosing to work with me could be your only lifeline.
Reject me, and you’ve got only one path left.”

Wise words are best left at that.

After a moment, Wang Shengli finally looked up.

“Do you even understand games?”

Jiang Ning didn’t answer directly.

“Give me your computer.”

His computer?

Without hesitation, Wang Shengli pulled out his laptop and handed it over.

Jiang Ning took it, opened the screen, and immediately got to work.

Her fingers moved swiftly across the keyboard—clack clack clack.

Wang Shengli sat opposite her, watching without knowing what she was doing.

About fifteen minutes passed.

Jiang Ning handed back the laptop.

“This is my sincerity.”

Wang Shengli took it—and his eyes widened.

In just fifteen minutes, she had created a small game demo.
And the gameplay was surprisingly engaging.

The only downside? Too few levels.

This girl might really be something special.

That’s when Wang Shengli realized: he hadn’t even given her the password to the laptop directly.

Meaning, those fifteen minutes also included the time she took to crack his password.

As a computer enthusiast himself, his password and firewall weren’t trivial!

Yet, she unlocked it without breaking a sweat.

This girl was a genius.

The gloom on Wang Shengli’s face instantly lifted, replaced by hope.

He thought to himself—truly, where there’s life, there’s hope.

But he quickly steadied himself.

“Why do you want to help me?”

Jiang Ning answered honestly.

“Two reasons. First, I have a grudge against the Cheng family—I want to bring down Cheng Corporation.
Second—I want to be rich.”

“Miss Jiang, welcome to Excite Games!” Wang Shengli stood and extended his hand.

Jiang Ning shook it.

“Pleasure doing business.”

“Pleasure indeed,” Wang Shengli continued.
“Miss Jiang, I’m truly glad you’re joining Excite Games.

But our troubles aren’t just about losing talent.
There’s also…”

“Financial shortages?” Jiang Ning finished for him.

Wang Shengli’s expression faltered.

Some problems can’t be ignored just because you want to.

“Yes.”

Jiang Ning smiled faintly.

“That’s easy.
Within ten days, I’ll solve your funding problem.
But I do have one condition.”

“What condition?” Wang Shengli asked immediately.

Jiang Ning was straightforward.

“I want fifty percent of Excite Games’ shares.”

Wang Shengli didn’t hesitate.

“Agreed. No problem!”

Jiang Ning was a once-in-a-lifetime talent.
Not only could she solve Excite Games’ funding crisis,
but if it meant getting excited back on its feet, Wang Shengli wouldn’t hesitate to give her even 60% shares, let alone 50%.

“President Wang is straightforward.”

Wang Shengli nodded.

“Miss Jiang, do you have time to come with me to the company now?
Let’s sign the contract immediately.”

“Sure.” Jiang Ning nodded lightly.

Wang Shengli had come by car.
When they left the café, he politely opened the back door for Jiang Ning.

It didn’t feel like a CEO escorting a guest—it was more like a driver for a big boss Jiang.

The company wasn’t far from the café.
About fifteen minutes later, they arrived.
After signing the contract, Wang Shengli personally saw Jiang Ning off.

Outside the company, Jiang Ning stopped.

“You can see me off here.
Tonight, I’ll send you the new plan and script.
We’ll aim to launch your AAA game within a month and win the Skydome Award.”

“Good.” Wang Shengli nodded, hope shining in his eyes.

Jiang Ning added,

“Also, I’ll need ten assistants.”

“That’s easy,” Wang Shengli replied.
“I’ll add them to your WeChat. Just notify them there whenever needed.”

“Alright.”

After leaving Excite, Jiang Ning headed to the electronics market.
She needed to buy a powerful laptop.
After looking around many shops, she finally found a suitable one—though some parts needed her to assemble and modify it herself.

…

The next day.
Monday.

Cheng Zijun woke early, preparing to go to the civil affairs bureau with Jiang Ning to get their divorce certificate.

Seeing him come downstairs, Wang Yuan quickly approached.

“Zijun, that country girl will probably cause a scene again today, maybe even threaten to kill herself publicly.
Please don’t give in! You mustn’t soften!”

Their Cheng family had finally shaken off the nuisance Jiang Ning had been—there was no way they would let history repeat itself!

Wang Yuan didn’t want to be laughed at again for having a country bumpkin daughter-in-law.

Just recently, although Cheng Zijun had risen like a financial prodigy,
she still felt ashamed among the wealthy wives’ circle.

Other sons-in-law’s wives were all from prestigious families; hers hadn’t even finished high school!

Because of Jiang Ning, she had even been cropped out of the big family photo.

No doubt, Jiang Ning dragged down the whole Cheng family’s status.

Cheng Zijun nodded.

“Don’t worry, Mom. I know what to do.”

He wasn’t stupid.
Even if Jiang Ning really died at the civil affairs bureau, he would still get that divorce certificate.

After breakfast, Cheng Zijun arrived at the civil affairs bureau.

Almost eight o’clock.
No Jiang Ning in sight.

He frowned slightly, already expecting her to break her promise.

She loved him too much—how could she divorce him so easily?

Fortunately, Jiang Ning had already signed the divorce agreement.
Even if she changed her mind, it wouldn’t matter.

Suddenly—

Whoosh!

A taxi appeared in his line of sight.
The door opened.

A slender leg stepped out.

Looking up along that leg, Cheng Zijun saw a girl’s exquisite features.

She wore a pale-yellow V-neck top, revealing graceful collarbones.

Yellow was a difficult color to pull off—most people would be overshadowed by it.

But her skin was as white as snow, making everything else look dull in comparison.

Bare-faced yet breathtakingly beautiful—her beauty stopped people’s breath.

Even Cheng Zijun was drawn in.

Jiang Ning walked all the way to the bureau’s entrance.

Seeing Cheng Zijun still standing there, she frowned slightly.

“Cheng Zijun, what are you staring at?”

His eyes widened.

This voice…
How was it so familiar?

He slowly turned to look at Jiang Ning.

Surprise flooded his expression.

Is this… Jiang Ning?

They’d been married a year, yet he had never seen her like this—without makeup.

Though he hated to admit it,
this Jiang Ning was really beautiful.

But Cheng Zijun quickly realized something.

This had to be another one of Jiang Ning’s tricks.

No makeup.
No grey clothes.

What was she doing?

Going for the innocent look?
Trying to attract his attention in such a cheap way?

Dogs don’t change their nature.

Frowning with disgust, Cheng Zijun snapped,

“Jiang Ning, what exactly are you trying to do?”
