Scumbag Forcing Me to Divorce? Watch Me Turn Around and Marry a Powerful Capital Tycoon! - Chapter 33

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

That little country girl Jiang Ning, thinking she could compete with him?

Delusions of grandeur!

He wasn’t just a rare dark horse in the finance world over the past decade—he was also the first person in City A to partner with the legendary Shen Jiuye.

There was no doubt everyone in the conference hall was secretly envying him.

But then—

Yun Haotian’s voice hit Cheng Zijun like a thunderclap, leaving him frozen in place.

The entire hall fell silent.

Because the company name Yun Haotian announced was:

“Jidong Games.”

Jidong Games?

How could it be Jidong Games?

Cheng Zijun’s face instantly went pale, color draining away as he stared at Yun Haotian in disbelief.

“President Yun, are you… are you joking with us?”

Everyone else also looked toward Yun Haotian, their faces filled with confusion.

Jidong Games was on the verge of bankruptcy!

How could Shen Jiuye possibly choose them?

Cheng Zijun actually lost to a company that was about to go under?

It was unbelievable.

“I’m not joking,” Yun Haotian said, still a little stunned himself and unsure why Shen Jingnian had chosen Jidong Games—but it was his brother-in-law’s decision, and he couldn’t go against it. “The winner of this bid is indeed Jidong Games.”

Cheng Zijun was utterly speechless.

He felt like a complete joke.

Why?

His proposal was clearly the most innovative one.

Why did Shen Jiuye pick Jidong Games?

Even Wang Shengli was still in shock over winning the bid.

Though he had complete faith in Jiang Ning, actually securing the contract made it hard to believe.

This was Shen Group—the absolute number one in the business world!

Nearby, Li Bingcheng wore a face that looked like he’d just seen a ghost.

To make sure he wasn’t dreaming, he tremblingly pinched himself hard on the thigh.

Ouch!

That hurt!

It really hurt!

He wasn’t dreaming.

Realizing this, Li Bingcheng was overjoyed.

He had never imagined that the mysterious Miss Jiang, whom they hadn’t even met before, would actually help them land the Shen Group contract.

Before Wang Shengli could fully process everything, Yun Haotian approached him and extended his right hand.

“President Wang, congratulations.”

“Thank you, President Yun,” Wang Shengli said, standing up a bit overwhelmed as he shook Yun Haotian’s hand. “Thank you, Jiuye, for giving Jidong Games this opportunity.”

“Then please come with me to sign the contract.”

“Right away.”

Wang Shengli quickly followed Yun Haotian.

Li Bingcheng trailed behind.

Before leaving, Li Bingcheng glanced over at Xie Huaijin and Cheng Zijun.

Both of them looked utterly smug.

Xie Huaijin’s situation was no better than Cheng Zijun’s!

His face was deathly pale.

His steps shaky, almost fainting.

They had all assumed the Cheng Group would smoothly win Shen Group’s bid and be the biggest winners.

But…

In the end, it was Jidong who got the contract!

What on earth did Jidong have to deserve this?

Was leaving Jidong really the biggest mistake?

—

Soon enough,

Wang Shengli and Li Bingcheng followed Yun Haotian up to the top-floor office.

The 68th floor.

Like the peak of the clouds.

From here, you could look down and see every corner of the city.

As Yun Haotian arrived, Assistant Gao quickly opened the office door.

“Little President Yun, Jiuye has been waiting inside for a long time.”

“Mm,” Yun Haotian nodded, then looked back at Wang Shengli and Li Bingcheng. “Come with me.”

“Understood, Little President Yun.”

About to meet the legendary Shen Jiuye himself, Wang Shengli and Li Bingcheng both felt a bit nervous.

Shen Jiuye was famously mysterious, never granting interviews—not even for company patent awards, which he’d have Yun Haotian accept on his behalf.

No reporter had ever dared to sneak a photo of him.

Wang Shengli remembered a small tabloid once tried to secretly snap a picture of Shen Jiuye to attract attention—but within two days, that tabloid had vanished without a trace.

Completely gone.

The top-floor office was vast, taking them two or three minutes to reach the CEO’s office.

Yun Haotian went in first, respectfully announcing, “Brother-in-law, the person in charge of Jidong Games has arrived.”

Shen Jingnian gave a slight nod.

“You may leave now.”

Yun Haotian bowed slightly and stepped out.

Only then did Wang Shengli dare to lift his eyes toward the man sitting in the office chair like a king.

That look—

Wang Shengli couldn’t hide his shock.

Shen Jingnian wore a simple white shirt and black dress pants that highlighted his long legs.

His chiseled features looked like they’d been sculpted from stone—flawless.

Before, Wang Shengli had thought the domineering CEO trope from idol dramas was exaggerated.

In real life, CEOs had to crawl and fight in the business world—how could one be so young and handsome?

But seeing Shen Jingnian today, he realized.

Idol dramas were too tame!

Because Shen Jingnian’s looks and aura left those popular young actors miles behind.

Wang Shengli never imagined anyone besides Jiang Ning could give him such a shocking feeling.

He suppressed the astonishment and respectfully said, “Shen Jiuye, I am Wang Shengli, head of Jidong Games. This is Li Bingcheng, one of Jidong’s shareholders.”

Li Bingcheng stepped forward, equally respectful.

“Shen Jiuye, I’m Li Bingcheng.”

Shen Jingnian stubbed out a cigarette in the ashtray, then said with thin lips.

“You two don’t need to be so formal. Please, sit down.”

Wang Shengli and Li Bingcheng exchanged a glance, then carefully took seats in the nearby chairs.

At that moment, Shen Jingnian’s secretary pulled out a contract.

“President Wang, President Li, here is the contract. Please review it, and if there are no issues, just sign it. If you have any questions, feel free to consult with our legal department.”

The contract was three pages in total.

The terms were clear and straightforward.

After confirming there were no loopholes or issues, Wang Shengli signed it, then stood up and faced Shen Jingnian.

“Thank you, Shen Jiuye, for giving Jidong this chance. I promise you, Jidong Games will not disappoint.”

Shen Jingnian simply looked at Wang Shengli, his tone low and steady.

“From the proposal your company submitted, I believe you won’t let me down. May I ask which one of you came up with the plan?”

His eyes settled on both men.

Though his gaze was calm, it carried an invisible pressure that made Wang Shengli and Li Bingcheng tense, their breathing tightening.

After a moment, Wang Shengli replied, “We are truly honored by Jiuye’s recognition. The proposal was created by a new shareholder of our company, Miss Jiang. But Miss Jiang is very low-key and prefers not to appear in public, so the proposal only has the company’s name.”

Normally, a proposal would have the author’s name.

Miss Jiang?

Shen Jingnian’s phoenix-like eyes narrowed slightly, and a flawless, jade-like face appeared in his mind.

Could it be her?

**

Even after leaving the 68th-floor office, Li Bingcheng still found it hard to believe.

He struggled to contain his excitement.

“Old Wang, are we really cooperating with Shen Jiuye?”

“Yes,” Wang Shengli nodded.

Li Bingcheng sighed in admiration.

“Miss Jiang is incredible! If I heard right, even Shen Jiuye personally praised her proposal!”

You just can’t deny it!

Wang Shengli smiled.

“I’ve been saying Miss Jiang is amazing. You just didn’t believe me.”

Li Bingcheng scratched his head.

“I just never expected such a young girl—barely a teenager—to have such talent.”

Li Bingcheng’s own sister was the same age as Jiang Ning and still asking the family for living expenses.

Sigh.

It’s maddening how people can be so different.

“Oh, Old Wang, there’s one more thing,” Li Bingcheng suddenly lowered his voice. “Did Cheng Zijun’s claim that Miss Jiang is his ex-wife really true?”

Because Cheng Zijun and Jiang Ning came from such different worlds, everyone in City A knew he had married a simple country girl.

But his ex-wife was supposedly talentless and shameless, always wearing heavy makeup. No matter how much she tried, she could never appear respectable, so Cheng Zijun divorced her.

Li Bingcheng just couldn’t connect the group’s new shareholder, Miss Jiang, with Cheng Zijun’s lowly ex-wife.

Nor could he imagine a girl who hadn’t even finished high school helping Jidong land a deal with Shen Group.

It was unbelievable!

Wang Shengli shook his head.

“I don’t know the full story either. But I feel Miss Jiang is very different from Cheng Zijun’s ex-wife. She’s quite beautiful, and I’ve never seen her wear heavy makeup. Honestly, even though I’m older than her, every time I see her, I feel like I’m facing some great leader—I get this unexplainable nervousness.”

Wang Shengli’s respect for Jiang Ning was genuine, no pretenses.

He added, “If Miss Jiang really is Cheng Zijun’s ex-wife, then all I can say is Cheng Zijun is going to regret it very soon!”

If she is, and the Cheng Group suddenly escapes its crisis and rises again, the one pulling the strings behind the scenes would definitely be Jiang Ning!

Cheng Zijun kicked out the real lucky star from the Cheng Group. How could he not regret it?

Wang Shengli looked at Li Bingcheng and said, “Anyway, whoever Miss Jiang really is, as long as we follow her and execute her plans well, I believe she will lead Jidong to the top!”

“Mm,” Li Bingcheng nodded. “You’re right, Old Wang!”

He was now full of confidence about climbing to the peak.

Ding!

The elevator arrived at the first floor.

At the same time,

The elevator doors across from them opened.

Cheng Zijun and Xie Huaijin stepped out.

Seeing Wang Shengli and Li Bingcheng, Cheng Zijun’s face immediately darkened like he’d swallowed something foul.

Why did he have to see them as soon as he got downstairs?

So unlucky!

Li Bingcheng smiled and said, “Ah, isn’t this President Cheng and President Xie? What a coincidence!”

Facing Li Bingcheng’s deliberate taunt, Cheng Zijun grit his teeth and forced out, “The road ahead is long, don’t be so smug yet.”

Compared to him, what was Jidong Games?

He was the true golden boy!

Besides, Jiang Ning loved him so much. She would never sincerely cooperate with Jidong.

She was definitely trying to surprise him!

Yes!

That had to be it.

“That’s right, the road ahead is long! Our Jidong will keep winning the Skyward Awards and reach the peak!” Li Bingcheng easily turned Xie Huaijin’s mockery back at him.

“As for you Cheng Group, well… good luck.”

Xie Huaijin’s face twisted with anger.

“Li Bingcheng! How long do you think your arrogance will last? Just wait! With President Cheng around, Jidong won’t last long.”

Li Bingcheng pretended to be scared, patting his chest.

“Oh no, we’re so scared! If you’re so amazing, why didn’t Jiuye choose you to cooperate? Why did he pick us Jidong instead? Because you’re not as good as us!”

Hearing this, Cheng Zijun’s eyes filled with humiliation, his fists clenched tightly.

“Let’s go!”

Xie Huaijin immediately followed him.

But as they reached the exit, a group of reporters swarmed Cheng Zijun, thrusting microphones in his face, each desperate to snag a headline.

“President Cheng, as the first person in City A to cooperate with Shen Group, how do you feel? Could you share with us?”

“Congratulations on your successful cooperation with Shen Group, President Cheng! Can we see the contract you signed?”

Cheng Zijun’s expression darkened further.

His lips pressed tight, unsure how to respond.

Suddenly, a young female reporter squeezed to the front and thrust a microphone in his face, her tone sharp:

“President Cheng, why so silent? Are you too excited to speak after just winning the Shen contract?”
