Scumbag Forcing Me to Divorce? Watch Me Turn Around and Marry a Powerful Capital Tycoon! - Chapter 27

No one knew just how excited Cheng Zijun was right now.

That was Lord Shen Jiu!

Not many people in City A had the chance to cooperate with him.

Looking across the entire Huaguo, there were even fewer.

But now…

Cheng Zijun had effortlessly secured a collaboration with the Shen Group.

How many people in Huaguo could be so lucky?

At this moment, Cheng Zijun wanted to shout the good news to the whole world.

But to avoid making Yun Haotian suspicious, he kept a calm and humble expression.

“I’m truly honored by Young Master Yun’s trust. I’ll continue working hard and won’t let you down.”

Yun Haotian nodded, admiration shining in his eyes.

“Good. President Cheng, keep it up! Even if this collaboration doesn’t happen, there will be plenty of chances next time. It’s late; I’ll head back first.”

Cheng Zijun didn’t really hear that part about “even if it doesn’t happen this time…”

He was certain this time the deal was sealed.

Yun Haotian slid into the back seat, lowered the car window, and said goodbye.

“Take care, Young Master Yun.”

Cheng Zijun bowed slightly, face full of respect.

Only when the car disappeared did he relax and pull out his phone to make a call.

“Hey, Dyson.”

“Start preparing for the Shen Group collaboration ahead of schedule.”

Although the official documents for the collaboration hadn’t been finalized, Cheng Zijun treated the partnership as a done deal.

If they were going to work together, they needed to show full sincerity and get ready early.

Sometimes, you just had to be bold and high-profile!

Cheng Zijun wanted all those who had looked down on him before to see exactly how he was rising step by step.

The person on the other end of the line, Dyson, hesitated briefly before replying, “Understood, President Cheng. I’ll get started immediately.”

The Shen Group stood at the pinnacle of the financial world.

To collaborate with them was like having a golden ticket into the international financial scene.

Countless companies in Huaguo had scrambled to work with Shen Group, but in the end, it was just a pipe dream.

Cheng Zijun was truly a rare dark horse in a decade.

Once he made a move, other companies could only watch in envy.

As Cheng Zijun’s top assistant, Dyson felt proud as well.

With the company’s upgrade, his status would rise too.

Even if he left Cheng Group in the future, other companies would be fighting to recruit him.

Soon enough, thanks to the PR department, news about Cheng Zijun’s upcoming collaboration with Shen Group spread to every corner of Cheng Group.

The next day, the moment Cheng Zijun stepped into the office, he overheard employees whispering about him.

“Our President Cheng is amazing!”
“The rival company was bragging about signing some gaming tycoon, but looks like President Cheng snatched the deal so fast.”
“President Cheng is unstoppable!”
“I knew President Cheng would crush them!”

Cheng Zijun’s face remained calm as always, acting unaffected.

But inside, he was floating on air.

This was just the beginning.

Once the Shen collaboration was official and he won the Azure Sky Award, not only City A but the entire East Huaguo would be his domain.

He would stand at the top, looking down on all the ants below.

…

Meanwhile,

At Jidong Gaming, Wang Shengli sat at his desk handling paperwork.

Knock knock knock—

A knock sounded at the door.

“Come in.”

Wang Shengli looked up.

“Chairman Wang.”
“Vice President Ma,” Wang gestured to a man entering, “Please sit.”

Vice President Ma sat across from Wang Shengli, looking hesitant as if he had something to say but was holding back.

Wang Shengli handed him a cigarette.

“Vice President Ma, just say what’s on your mind.”

Vice President Ma accepted the cigarette.

“Chairman Wang, have you heard? Shen Group is going to collaborate with Cheng Group.”

Wang Shengli nodded calmly.

“If you know this, why so calm?”

Although Jidong’s financial crisis was temporarily over, the company was still shaking in the storm.

If Cheng Group really worked with Shen Group, crushing Jidong would be as easy as stepping on an ant.

Wang Shengli smiled.

“The official document hasn’t come down yet. It’s still uncertain who will get the final approval. No need to panic, Vice President Ma.”

In the past, Wang Shengli might have been worried, but not anymore.

Because now, Jidong had Jiang Ning!

Vice President Ma glanced at Wang Shengli, feeling he was underestimating the situation.

Jiang Ning was still young.

Not to mention she couldn’t compare to Shen Group, she didn’t even have one-tenth of Cheng Zijun’s ability.

He was just a money handler, a vice president with no real power in the company.

He had already given all the warnings he could.

What happened next was out of his control.

“Anything else?” Wang Shengli asked.

Vice President Ma handed over some documents.

“There’s something that needs your signature.”

After reading the documents, Wang Shengli signed.

Vice President Ma continued,

“By the way, Chairman Wang, do you have time this afternoon? The head of Yichuang Company wants to meet with you.”

“I’m meeting Miss Jiang this afternoon. Tomorrow then.”

“Alright.” Vice President Ma nodded.

…

At Encounter Café,

A young woman in a lake-blue dress sat by the window.

She had long curly hair and wore a small bowler hat with a butterfly bow.

Under the brim was a delicate, flawless face — a true beauty.

She sipped her coffee quietly, gazing at the view outside.

“Shuyi.”

A sudden male voice cut through the air.

The young woman glanced up slightly, eyes lighting up with joy.

“Brother Zijun.”

That was right.

This was Zhang Shuyi — Cheng Zijun’s white moonlight and City A’s number one talented beauty.

Zhang Shuyi had once ranked second in the liberal arts college entrance exam.

She was also the first person in decades in City A to score 135 in Chinese, and combined with her stunning looks and prestigious family background, she became an instant media sensation after winning the top spot.

That’s when she earned the title of City A’s number one talent.

Cheng Zijun rolled up his suit sleeves and sat opposite Zhang Shuyi.

“Sorry I’m ten minutes late, Shuyi.”

“It’s okay, Brother Zijun, I know you’re busy.” She took a sip of her coffee. “By the way, I heard you secured a collaboration with Shen Group?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Zhang Shuyi immediately covered her mouth with her hand, admiration shining in her eyes.

“Oh my god! It’s true! Brother Zijun, you’re incredible!”

A faint smile curved on Cheng Zijun’s lips, as if it was no big deal.

“It’s just a small collaboration, nothing major.”

Working with Shen Group was only the beginning.

Next…

He was going to become a legend throughout all of Huaxia.

Zhang Shuyi rested her chin on her hands, acting adorably coquettish.

“Brother Zijun, I admire you more and more.”

Every man enjoyed the sight of a woman admiring him—especially when she was the famed top talent of City A.

Cheng Zijun’s pride overflowed.

Just as he was playfully teasing Zhang Shuyi, his eyes caught sight of a slender figure entering.

She wore a vintage, sleeveless burgundy top with traditional Chinese buttons and black wide-leg pants.

Her slim waist and long legs were accentuated by the rich burgundy color that made her skin look snow-white and radiant.

The moment she walked in, she captured the attention of everyone in the café.

Men and women alike.

No one could look away.

She was simply too beautiful, both in appearance and aura—a true top-tier presence.

This was—

Jiang Ning!

The moment Cheng Zijun recognized her, the awe in his eyes instantly turned into deep disgust.

Why was that crazy woman here?

Was she stalking him?

Yes, it had to be.

Jiang Ning had done this many times before.

How shameless!

But now, they were already divorced—and yet Jiang Ning still haunted him.

What exactly did Jiang Ning want?

Cheng Zijun quickly figured it out.

Jiang Ning loved him deeply, but he loved Zhang Shuyi.

Jiang Ning was definitely jealous, unwilling to accept the divorce, so she was stalking him to cause trouble with Zhang Shuyi!

Thinking of Jiang Ning causing trouble for Zhang Shuyi, Cheng Zijun frowned, slamming his coffee cup heavily onto the table.

Clatter—

The brown liquid splashed onto the table.

Startled, Zhang Shuyi asked with concern,
“Brother Zijun, what’s wrong?”

“I saw Jiang Ning,” Cheng Zijun lowered his voice. “She still can’t let go of the divorce.”

Jiang Ning?

Zhang Shuyi looked around but didn’t spot her in the line of sight, curiosity growing.

“Where is she?”

Cheng Zijun’s face twisted in disgust.

“The one wearing the red top.”

Zhang Shuyi was stunned.

Red top?

“Are you sure, Brother Zijun?”

There was only one person in the entire café wearing red.

And she wasn’t just elegant—her beauty was breathtakingly stunning, even making Zhang Shuyi, a dazzling beauty herself, feel a little overshadowed.

“Yes,” Cheng Zijun nodded.

With confirmation, Zhang Shuyi suppressed her shock.

“Jiang sister has changed so much since the divorce.”

Changed?

More like a complete transformation.

Zhang Shuyi had never known that beneath Jiang Ning’s heavy makeup and masks was such a stunning face.

Suddenly, Zhang Shuyi felt a strong sense of crisis.

No way.

She couldn’t let anyone steal her Cheng Zijun.

“Looks like the divorce hit Jiang sister hard. Her drastic change must be because she wants to take you away from me…”

Trailing off, Zhang Shuyi sighed again, looking at Cheng Zijun with a pitiful expression.

“Brother Zijun, you know me best. You know I’m a simple-minded girl with no energy to deal with her feminine rivalry…”

Seeing the girl he loved so troubled by Jiang Ning, Cheng Zijun’s heart ached.

He grasped Zhang Shuyi’s hand.

“Wait here. I’ll go handle Jiang Ning.”

Zhang Shuyi frowned slightly, understanding his feelings.

“No, Brother Zijun, Jiang sister isn’t easy either. She’s doing this because she loves you so much. Please, for my sake, don’t cause her trouble.”

“You want me not to cause her trouble—but when she’s causing you trouble, did she ever think about your feelings? You consider her, but she never considers you!”

With that, Cheng Zijun strode over to Jiang Ning and blocked her way.

Standing tall and commanding, he pointed his finger at her.

“Jiang Ning, what exactly do you want? We’re divorced. The only person I love is Shuyi. Can you stop shamelessly stalking me?”

“I want you to apologize to Shuyi immediately, and promise you’ll never appear in front of her again. Otherwise, we won’t even be friends anymore!”
