Scumbag Forcing Me to Divorce? Watch Me Turn Around and Marry a Powerful Capital Tycoon! - Chapter 32

Cheng Zijun nodded.
“I know.”

Not only would he never easily forgive Jiang Ning, he definitely wouldn’t open the door for her without hesitation.

What did Jiang Ning even think she was?

If she came looking for him, did that mean he had to care?

Hadn’t Jiang Ning already deleted and blocked Lin Yuze?

If she was that capable, then she could just never come back to beg him!

The very thought of Jiang Ning stubbornly standing outside, begging him to open the door, made Cheng Zijun’s face break into a smug grin.

The knocking continued.

Seeing that Cheng Zijun had no intention of opening the door, Lin Yuze couldn’t help but urge,
“Zijun bro, she’s been knocking for so long. Why don’t you just open the door? If you don’t, Jiang Ning might really get so anxious she’ll try to jump off the building.”

Given how deeply Jiang Ning loved Cheng Zijun, saying she might try to jump wasn’t a joke—she had already tried once before.

At this, Cheng Zijun slowly got up and walked to the door.

He didn’t even bother to look directly at Jiang Ning, wearing a high-and-mighty attitude.
“Who told you to come? Cheng Group doesn’t welcome you! I made it very clear that day in the café—starting now, even if you kneel down and beg me, I won’t give you a second glance!”

The secretary standing nearby was stunned, then confused.
“Mr. Cheng… what are you saying?”

Cheng Zijun had been expecting to hear Jiang Ning begging on her knees. Instead, he heard the secretary’s voice.

He immediately turned his head and when he saw the secretary’s face, he was shocked.
“Why is it you?”

It wasn’t Jiang Ning!

Cheng Zijun never expected it to be the secretary at the door.

The secretary nervously licked her lips.
“Mr. Cheng, I’m here to remind you that the meeting time has arrived.”

Recalling his earlier outburst in front of the secretary, Cheng Zijun’s face drained of color.
“Get out! Get out right now!” he shouted.

Terrified, the secretary quickly turned and left.

Seeing it was the secretary, Lin Yuze was also surprised. He stepped beside Cheng Zijun.
“Zijun bro, don’t be so impatient. I think Jiang Ning’s real goal is to make us come find her. How about I go see her tonight?”

The acquisition of Jidong was urgent; they had to find Jiang Ning and get the details about the Jidong game.

“No need!” Cheng Zijun flatly refused Lin Yuze’s suggestion.

Wasn’t Jiang Ning trying to use the Jidong matter to blackmail him into remarrying her?

He wouldn’t be the one to chase her!

Besides, tomorrow was the day the Shen Group would announce the bidding results.

He needed to prepare well, show up in the best state of mind, and sign the contract with Master Shen right in front of everyone’s eyes—becoming the envy of the entire city!

If he successfully partnered with Shen Group, then even if they failed to acquire Jidong, it wouldn’t harm Cheng Group.

He wanted to see what Jiang Ning could threaten him with then.

Could that little country girl really get Jidong to partner with Shen Group?

With that thought, Cheng Zijun turned to Lin Yuze.
“You go contact the entertainment reporters. Spread the news that I’m partnering with Shen Group.”

Once that news came out, after tomorrow’s bidding meeting, the media would swarm outside Shen Group’s building to interview him.

After all, no one in City A had ever cooperated with Shen Group before.

He would become the city’s shining star once again!

“Got it, Zijun bro.” Lin Yuze nodded.
“I’ll arrange it right away.”

…

Jidong Game

In the penthouse office…

The secretary knocked and entered.
“Director Wang, Shen Group’s Special Assistant Gao called, urging us to submit the bidding proposal.”

Wang Shengli glanced at his watch.

Two hours until the time Jiang Ning mentioned.

“Tell Assistant Gao that we will submit it on time.”

“Understood, Director Wang.”

After the secretary left, another man in the office spoke up.

“Old Wang, are you still waiting for Miss Jiang?”

This man was Li Bingcheng, a high school classmate of Wang Shengli and also a shareholder in Jidong, holding 7% of the shares.

“Yeah.” Wang Shengli nodded.

Li Bingcheng frowned.
“The bidding time is almost up. Can we really trust Miss Jiang?”

He added, “You spent half a month trying to finish the proposal. She can get it done in one day? I advise you not to pin your hopes on her. The funding issue is resolved anyway. We should focus on the Sky Award instead—don’t lose both watermelon and melon seeds. It’s not worth it.”

Wang Shengli firmly replied, “If Miss Jiang couldn’t handle the bidding proposal, she wouldn’t have promised to help me in the first place. I believe her.”

Li Bingcheng smiled helplessly.
“I think you’re losing your mind.”

He believed Jiang Ning was a rich second-generation with money to burn.

But as for any real skills? He had his doubts.

Ding!

You have a new email.

Hearing the notification, Wang Shengli quickly opened his email and saw Jiang Ning’s message. He couldn’t help but sigh,
“Miss Jiang really is a timely rain!”

Li Bingcheng was surprised.
“Jiang Ning sent an email?”

“Yes.” Wang Shengli immediately saved the files and sent them to the head of Shen Group.

Seeing Wang Shengli’s actions, Li Bingcheng was baffled.
“You didn’t even check it before sending it to Shen Group?”

“No need. Miss Jiang’s work is definitely solid.” Wang Shengli continued,
“Tomorrow Shen Group will announce the bidding results. We’ll all go together.”

Li Bingcheng licked his lips nervously. “Old Wang, don’t tell me you actually think Jidong has a chance at the partnership?”

If they didn’t win Shen Group’s bid, given Jidong’s current state, it would be nothing but humiliation.

“Dreams are important.” Wang Shengli smiled.
“And since Miss Jiang worked so hard on the proposal, if we don’t even try, wouldn’t that be letting her down?”

“Maybe so, but I heard from inside sources that Master Shen has already teamed up with Cheng Group. If we go, we’ll just be the supporting act for Cheng Zijun,” Li Bingcheng sighed.

Actually, Li Bingcheng expected Shen Group to pick Cheng Group.

Who was Cheng Zijun?

He was a once-in-a-decade dark horse in the finance world.

In City A, how many could, in such a short time, turn around the broken Cheng Group and bring it back to the top?

Wang Shengli lit a cigarette.
“If you don’t go, then I’ll go alone.”

“Don’t, don’t, I’ll go too.” As partners, Li Bingcheng naturally wouldn’t leave Wang Shengli to face embarrassment alone.

…

The Next Morning, 9 a.m.

Li Bingcheng and Wang Shengli arrived at Shen Group.

The meeting room was already filled with many well-known industry companies.

When Li Bingcheng and Wang Shengli arrived, the crowd no longer greeted them with the usual flattery. Instead, they were met with cold stares and ridicule.

“Isn’t that Wang Shengli and Li Bingcheng from Jidong Game?”

“What are they doing here?”

“Do they really think Master Shen will pick Jidong for cooperation?”

“This is just embarrassing to watch.”

“…”

Though mentally prepared for mockery, Li Bingcheng still felt heavy steps and difficulty breathing.

Jidong Game had its glory days.

Back then, wherever he went, people respectfully called him President Li.

Countless companies tried to build connections with him.

But now? Just a few months later, it had come to this.

Li Bingcheng sighed inwardly.

Wang Shengli’s heart also sank.

Suddenly, a crowd gathered near the entrance.

The murmurs quickly changed from derision to praise.

“President Cheng!”

“Here comes President Cheng from Cheng Group!”

“He’s young and talented!”

“Like grandfather like grandson — with such a powerful elder, his grandson can’t be bad.”

Li Bingcheng and Wang Shengli looked up.

There stood Cheng Zijun, dressed in a limited edition suit, walking confidently amidst a throng of admirers.

Behind him followed Xie Huaijin.

Li Bingcheng’s gaze locked on Xie Huaijin, frowning as he muttered, “Traitor!”

If it weren’t for Wang Shengli’s help back then, where would Xie Huaijin be now?

But instead, he stabbed Wang Shengli in the back — defected to Cheng Group and even took away some crucial data!

Ungrateful bastard!

“People strive upwards, water flows downwards. Nothing wrong with that,” Cheng Zijun strode up to Li Bingcheng, eyes dripping with undisguised mockery. “Your company’s ability is limited. Since you can’t give Mr. Xie what he wants, you resort to slandering him behind his back? Your corporate culture definitely needs improvement.”

At his words, the crowd quickly chimed in.

“President Cheng is right. Jidong couldn’t keep talent because of their own lack of ability, yet they blame Mr. Xie for jumping ship?”

“Exactly!”

Watching everyone twist the truth, Li Bingcheng was furious. He clenched his fists, ready to argue, but Wang Shengli patted his shoulder, signaling him to stop.

History is written by the victors.

The business world is no different.

One day, when Jidong stands atop the summit, justice will judge Xie Huaijin!

Li Bingcheng restrained his anger, knowing this wasn’t the place for a fight.

Wang Shengli glanced at Xie Huaijin and spoke calmly, “Thanks to you, Mr. Xie, for setting a lesson for me. You truly showed me what a battlefield business is. But leaving Jidong was easy — rejoining won’t be. I just hope you never regret your choice.”

“Regret?” Xie Huaijin’s lips curled into a sneer. “The only regret I have is not leaving Jidong sooner! President Wang, can’t you see it? Everyone here knows Master Shen’s intended partner is President Cheng! If I were you, I wouldn’t embarrass myself today!”

The last words rang out like a hammer strike.

Beside him, Cheng Zijun raised his chin high.

When he arrived at Shen Group, he’d already noticed the crowd of reporters downstairs — all waiting to cover his successful cooperation and snag a headline.

After all, he would be the first in City A to partner with Shen Group.

That would make him the brightest star in the city!

Wang Shengli furrowed his brow. “Master Shen hasn’t announced the partner yet. Aren’t you two being a bit overconfident? What if you end up making a fool of yourselves?”

Li Bingcheng immediately responded, “Cheng Zijun, Xie Huaijin, listen up! Jidong recently gained a very capable Miss Jiang! She’s definitely going to bring us to new heights! When that happens, you’ll be the ones crying while we laugh!”

Wang Shengli nodded, “Exactly. Miss Jiang not only will lead Jidong to the peak again, but her latest plan will help us win Shen Group’s bid!”

Hearing this, Cheng Zijun sneered, “Jiang Ning? President Wang, President Li, you don’t know? Jiang Ning is my ex-wife. No one knows her better than me. She’s just a little country girl who didn’t even finish her senior year of high school. You’re pinning your hopes on such a village girl winning the bid? What a joke!”

Jiang Ning? What was she?

She thought she could win Shen Group’s bid?

In your dreams!

The only winner of Shen Group’s bid would be him!

Seeing Cheng Zijun insult Jiang Ning so openly, Wang Shengli was furious. Pointing at him, he snapped, “Cheng Zijun, don’t look down on people with your narrow eyes! So what if Miss Jiang comes from humble beginnings? She’ll crush you, no doubt!”

“That girl?” Cheng Zijun looked disgusted. “Wang Shengli, you’re adorably stupid. No wonder Jidong’s failing. With an incompetent CEO like you, Jidong is just destined to be a casualty in the business war!”

“However, Wang Shengli, if you admit defeat to me, maybe I’ll be in a good mood and spare you — buying out your Jidong at a high price!”

Wang Shengli narrowed his eyes, unwavering. “Miss Jiang will definitely make us win!”

Cheng Zijun scoffed at Wang’s stubbornness.

“Everyone, please quiet down!”

Just then, a deep voice echoed through the noisy conference hall.

Everyone stopped talking and looked toward the stage.

There stood Yun Haotian, bowing slightly, holding the microphone.

“Hello, everyone. I’m Yun Haotian from Shen Group. Now, on behalf of Master Shen, I will announce the results of this bidding.”

He took the paper handed by the secretary.

Shen Jingnian was always businesslike; even Yun Haotian himself didn’t know which company Master Shen favored before the announcement.

Everyone held their breath, eyes fixed on Yun Haotian, waiting eagerly.

“Now, I announce the winning company is—”

Yun Haotian’s eyes flickered in surprise as he glanced at Cheng Zijun sitting at the table.

The name on the paper caught in his throat, leaving the suspense hanging.

Seeing Yun Haotian’s gaze on him, Cheng Zijun instantly beamed with pride!

The winning company must be Cheng Group. Otherwise, why would Yun Haotian look at him like that?

Cheng Zijun adjusted his suit collar, stood up proudly, ready to receive the winning certificate, unable to hide his triumphant expression.
