Scumbag Forcing Me to Divorce? Watch Me Turn Around and Marry a Powerful Capital Tycoon! - Chapter 12

That’s right.

Grandpa Jiang has an only son, 40 years old this year. Years ago, he married into a family in City A and currently lives there with his wife’s family.

Back when Grandpa Jiang found Jiang Ning, he originally planned to have his son and daughter-in-law raise her.

But unexpectedly, both his son and daughter-in-law refused to take care of Jiang Ning, saying things like: “Hair must be grown by oneself, children must be born by oneself, no matter how much love you give to someone else’s child, it won’t become your own.”

But Grandpa Jiang couldn’t bear to send the child to an orphanage, so he raised her himself—and he’s been doing so until now.

“Alright.” Jiang Ning nodded.

In the original owner’s memories, she didn’t have a deep impression of her eldest uncle and aunt.

Before she turned fifteen, she always lived with Grandpa in the countryside. Her eldest uncle and aunt would rarely come back—sometimes not even once in several years. Later, when she came to City A with Grandpa, she only met them once or twice.

After dinner, Jiang Ning continued assembling her computer, working until nine in the evening before she finally checked her phone.

Opening WeChat, she found ten strangers had added her as friends.

Only then did Jiang Ning remember the important matter.

She clicked to verify and accepted each friend request one by one. Then she created a small group and added them all in. She first sent a self-introduction:
“Hello everyone, I’m Jiang Ning. Looking forward to working with you (handshake emoji).”

“Miss Jiang, I’m Amy. If you need anything, just message me on WeChat.”

“Miss Jiang, I’m Lucy…”

“Miss Jiang, I’m Major…”

One after another, they introduced themselves.

After the greetings, Jiang Ning sent the work assignments to the group:
“Please submit everything to me by 4 PM tomorrow. Thanks, everyone.”

Meanwhile, on the third floor of Jidong Games, inside the cubicles…

Amy spun her chair over to a colleague’s side. “Lucy, who do you think this Miss Jiang really is? Can she really pull our company back from the brink of death?”

Lucy sipped her iced Americano, narrowing her eyes. “That’s hard to say.”

Across from them, Qinzi overheard and leaned in, lowering her voice.
“Have you heard? Boss Zhang and Boss Li have already terminated contracts with our company. Not only have they left, but even Boss Xie from the 3A Project Department was poached by Cheng Group next door.
I think our company is completely doomed now!”

Amy and Lucy widened their eyes. “What! Boss Xie left?”

Xie Huaijin was extremely talented, basically the backbone of the 3A project team. His departure was a fatal blow to both Jidong Games and Wang Shengli.

“Shhh!” Qinzi immediately put a finger to her lips. “Keep your voice down!”

Lucy swallowed nervously. “Boss Xie really left?”

Qinzi nodded, “Absolutely true.”

Lucy sighed, “We still had some hope for the company, but with Boss Xie gone, it’s totally hopeless! Competition is so fierce now—if I lose this job, where else will I find co-workers like you guys?”

Amy looked at Qinzi, suspicious: “This is too sudden. I saw Boss Xie working on the fifth floor just yesterday! Are you sure?”

Qinzi glanced around. “My best friend is Boss Xie’s assistant. She told me! Not only do you think it’s sudden—she thinks so too. Boss Xie’s leaving came without warning. He was working just yesterday, then suddenly called this morning to say he wouldn’t come in!
Honestly, Wang Dong was too careless. When he poached Boss Xie, he should’ve signed a sky-high compensation agreement. Now look—Boss Xie just walked away!”

Amy frowned. “Boss Xie’s really ungrateful to leave just like that. What about Wang Dong?”

“That’s not entirely Boss Xie’s fault. He’s just working for Wang Dong. Seeing the company falling, he can’t just hang on one tree.” Lucy sighed. “Let’s just hope Miss Jiang lives up to Wang Dong’s hopes and brings back glory to Jidong Games!”

Qinzi then added,
“Forget it. I advise you not to pin your hopes on Miss Jiang.”

“Why?” Lucy asked.

Amy looked curious too.

Qinzi went on, “Yesterday when I went to see Wang Dong, I happened to see Miss Jiang! Guess what? She looks very young, like a high school student. She’s pretty enough, the kind who could be a pretty face in showbiz.
I think Wang Dong is just desperate and grasping at straws.”

How could a pretty face understand games?

Isn’t this a joke?

Amy and Lucy instantly lost confidence in the legendary Miss Jiang after hearing that.

Looks like…

Jidong really can’t be saved this time!

…

Seventh floor.

Wang Shengli stood by the window, making a phone call.

Perhaps from anxiety, a layer of sweat covered his forehead.

Beep beep beep—

The call was answered quickly.

“Hello—”

Wang Shengli went straight to the point, “Miss Jiang, are you busy? I have something very important to tell you.”

“Go ahead,” Jiang Ning replied succinctly.

Wang Shengli continued, “Our plan might have to be delayed. Boss Xie from the 3A Project was poached by Cheng Group, and I can’t find anyone to replace him right now.”

By the end, Wang Shengli couldn’t help but curse, “That bastard Xie Huaijin, he’s no human! Back when he was just a nobody overseas barely touching games, if it weren’t for me, he’d still be nothing!
And now, he plays the ungrateful card and stabs me in the back at a critical moment!”

Everyone knew Wang Shengli had brought Xie Huaijin back from overseas.

What few knew was that back then, Xie Huaijin was an unknown nobody abroad.
In the early days of their startup, the two had explored together, and that’s how Xie achieved what he has now.

Because of this shared growth experience, Wang Shengli trusted Xie deeply, and their relationship was like brothers.
So they never signed any contract, which gave Xie the chance to betray him.

The angrier Wang Shengli got, the more furious he became. He wished he could stand right in front of Xie Huaijin this very moment and give that ungrateful white-eyed wolf a good beating!

Compared to Wang Shengli’s rage, Jiang Ning was completely calm. She slowly said, “President Wang, now is not the time for settling scores after the fact. Send me Xie Huaijin’s work, and I’ll handle it. You just focus on your own tasks and don’t let unrelated people affect you.”

“Miss Jiang, Xie Huaijin’s work is pretty complicated, I’m afraid—”

Before he could finish, Jiang Ning interrupted, “Afraid of what? I’m here. Just send it to me. From now on, you just do your job well. Don’t let unrelated people get to you.”

After saying this, she didn’t even give Wang Shengli time to respond and immediately hung up the phone.

For some reason, although Wang Shengli had doubted Jiang Ning’s ability to handle Xie Huaijin’s work before, after hearing this, he suddenly felt full of confidence and immediately headed down to the 3A project department.

…

Jiang Family.

Jiang Ning assembled the last component and pressed the power button.

Ding!

In just one second, the computer booted up.

Sitting cross-legged on the floor, Jiang Ning yawned, “Looks like tonight’s going to be another sleepless night.”

…

After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Cheng Zijun went home.

Seeing him back so early, Wang Yuan immediately came up, “Zijun, that country girl didn’t really go, did she? I knew she wouldn’t just accept the divorce so easily!”

“She went,” Cheng Zijun took a red booklet from his bag, “This is the divorce certificate.”

“Ah?” Wang Yuan took the certificate, disbelief all over her face. “There’s no way that country girl forged this, right?”

How could Jiang Ning really have gotten a divorce certificate with Cheng Zijun?

It was like the sky was raining red.

“It’s not forged. The Civil Affairs Bureau staff gave it to me personally,” Cheng Zijun squinted, “But Jiang Ning still loves me. She only did this hoping I’d regret it and chase after her. Who does she think she is? How could I ever fall for someone like her? Mom, you better watch out these days. If she can’t reach me, she’ll definitely come looking for you! That kind of woman blossoms when given a little sunshine. Don’t give her any good face!”

After leaving Lihu, Cheng Zijun didn’t want anything to do with that country girl Jiang Ning anymore.

Wang Yuan nodded, “Okay, Zijun, I understand! I’ve already told the housekeeper that if that country girl comes here, just kick her out!”

After telling his mother all this, Cheng Zijun went to Cheng Group.

…

10:30 PM

Knock knock knock—

The sound of knocking came from outside.

“Come in,” Cheng Zijun said, putting down some documents.

Lin Yuze walked in. “Zijun, still working so late? You really work hard.”

Cheng Zijun rubbed his temple, tired. “The group is at a critical point now. If I don’t put in more effort, things downstairs will be chaos.”

Strangely, when Jiang Ning was around, he never felt so burdened.

But once she left, it felt like everything went wrong.

Lin Yuze smiled. “True, the capable always have more work. Oh, by the way, Zijun, I heard you poached Xie Huaijin from Jidong Games?”

“Mm.” Cheng Zijun nodded.

Lin Yuze’s eyes widened.

In the gaming world, everyone knew Xie Huaijin and Wang Shengli were brothers who had been through thick and thin together. When Lin Yuze heard this, he thought it was a rumor.

But it turned out to be true!

“Zijun, you’re amazing! That’s Xie Huaijin—someone once offered him a 10 million annual salary, but he didn’t budge!” Lin Yuze gave a thumbs-up.

Cheng Zijun just smiled. “People always move upwards, water flows downwards. Jidong Games is already on its last legs, so naturally Xie Huaijin wants to choose a better path.”

Lin Yuze nodded. “You’re right, Zijun!”

Under Cheng Zijun’s leadership, Cheng Group was like a fierce beast, cutting through the gaming world and unstoppable. The future would surely astonish the world!

Compared to Cheng Group, Jidong Games was nowhere near.

“I think the Cangqiong Award this year definitely belongs to you!” Lin Yuze couldn’t help but praise.

At this, determination flashed in Cheng Zijun’s eyes.

Who else but him for the Cangqiong Award?

At that moment, Lin Yuze seemed to remember something. “Oh right, Zijun, there’s one more thing.”

“What’s that?” Cheng Zijun asked.

Lin Yuze chose his words carefully. “I heard Wang Shengli recently poached another big gaming expert to Jidong. Within a month, they launched a 3A game and got the Cangqiong Award.”

“A big gaming expert?” Cheng Zijun suddenly felt a surge of crisis. “Who?”

“Her surname’s Jiang. I’m not sure of the full name,” Lin Yuze paused, then added, “Zijun, do you think this Jiang Miss could be… Jiang Ning?”

“If it’s really Jiang Ning, would she pose any threat to Cheng Group?”

Though Jidong Games was near bankruptcy, they still had some value.

Cheng Zijun originally planned to acquire Jidong at a low price and take over.

But now,

Jiang Ning had inserted herself.

This made Lin Yuze a little worried, fearing the acquisition might not go smoothly.

Upon hearing Jiang Ning’s name, the crisis on Cheng Zijun’s face vanished, replaced by blatant mockery.

“Oh, so it’s her! A useless woman who didn’t even finish high school. You really expect her to pull Jidong Games back on track? It’s just a mayfly trying to shake a great tree—pathetic and delusional!”
