Scumbag Forcing Me to Divorce? Watch Me Turn Around and Marry a Powerful Capital Tycoon! - Chapter 34

The news about cooperating with the Shen Group was deliberately leaked by Cheng Zijun.

He stayed up all night rehearsing his speech, hoping to shine brilliantly in front of the cameras during the reporters’ interview.

But unexpectedly, In the end, he only ended up shooting himself in the foot.

How was this any different from having his face rubbed against the ground?

Losing to others would have been one thing,

But he actually lost to a company that was nowhere near the Cheng Group’s level!

At this moment,

Facing the reporters’ cameras, Cheng Zijun wished he could just crawl into a hole and disappear.

His face flushed red and pale repeatedly, a real mess.

As if that wasn’t enough, the reporters in the front row kept pressing,

“President Cheng, could you please say something? Why are you silent? Did something unexpected happen with the cooperation?”

Cheng Zijun’s face was filled with shame.

Xie Huaijin quickly squeezed ahead of him, blocking all the cameras.

“Sorry everyone, today President Cheng isn’t feeling well and can’t do interviews. Next time — when we win the Skyward Award — we’ll be happy to talk to you then!”

This cooperation with the Shen Group was just a fluke.

But the Skyward Award was a different story!

The Skyward Award was a game award voted on by all netizens.

For a trash company like Jidong Games, don’t even think about winning the Skyward Award — they probably wouldn’t even make the list!

So,

The Skyward Award was destined for the Cheng Group!

When Xie Huaijin finished speaking, the female reporter in front was about to ask more questions when suddenly someone shouted from the crowd.

“Chairman Wang is here!”

“It’s Chairman Wang and General Manager Li from Jidong Games!”

Before the female reporter could react, her colleagues quickly thrust microphones toward Wang Shengli.

“Chairman Wang, General Manager Li, we heard your company secured the cooperation with Shen Group. Can you confirm if this is true?”

The female reporter was stunned.

Wasn’t the insider news that the cooperation was with Cheng Group?

Why did it suddenly become Jidong Games?

Besides!

Wasn’t Jidong Games about to go bankrupt?

Just then, a colleague hurriedly ran over.

“Xiao Zhao, what are you standing there for? Hurry and interview Chairman Wang and General Manager Li to snag the headline! Sister Zhou just sent a message saying Jidong Games landed the deal with Shen Group!”

What?!

No way!

Is Jidong Games about to rise up?

“Is this for real?”

“What do you mean, is it real or not? Go get the headline now! If you’re late, someone else will beat you to it.” The colleague pushed the female reporter.

She quickly raised her microphone and scrambled into the crowd.

Wang Shengli stood in front of the cameras, smiling as he answered the questions.

“It’s true. Honestly, I’m quite surprised myself.”

“Chairman Wang, do you have any comments about General Manager Xie’s departure?”

Xie Huaijin leaving Jidong Games was already big news.

Now that Jidong had secured cooperation with Shen Group even without him, combined with the reporter’s question, this headline was sure to explode.

Wang Shengli thought of how Jiang Ning always remained calm and composed.

He didn’t say anything bad about Xie Huaijin in front of the media.

Instead, he said lightly, “I have nothing to say about that. Everyone has their own aspirations. I hope General Manager Xie is well at Cheng Group and soon fulfills his life’s goals.”

Seeing Wang Shengli become the center of attention in front of the cameras made Cheng Zijun’s face go pale with anger.

Just wait!

He would repay this humiliation a thousandfold.

After getting into the car, Xie Huaijin was the first to speak.

“President Cheng, what exactly is going on? Why would Shen Jiuye suddenly choose to cooperate with Jidong Games?”

Their proposal was supposed to be far better than Jidong’s!

Or maybe Jidong really did get some game mastermind to surpass him?

Thinking of that, Xie Huaijin couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

Cheng Zijun forced himself to calm down.

“Don’t worry. Jidong won’t be proud for long! In half a month, just half a month, I’ll buy out Jidong Games!”

To Cheng Zijun, this was all part of Jiang Ning’s bait-and-switch game.

But since he ignored Jiang Ning, she would soon lose patience.

When that time comes, Jidong Games would still be under his control!

He imagined Wang Shengli and Li Bingcheng kneeling and begging him to buy them out, and his heart felt much better.

Xie Huaijin looked at Cheng Zijun skeptically.

“President Cheng, now that Jidong has successfully cooperated with Shen Group, won’t it be much harder to buy them out?”

Jidong was no longer the same company with a short cash flow!

They not only solved their funding issues, but also attached themselves to the mighty Shen Group. It was unbelievable.

Cheng Zijun narrowed his eyes.

“Jiang Ning is currently the largest shareholder of Jidong Games, and I’m the person she loves most. Just wait, in less than a week, Jiang Ning will come to me willingly with a buyout agreement.”

Xie Huaijin nodded.

“True. Jiang Ning can’t live without you. To please you, there’s nothing she wouldn’t do.”

Pausing, he looked at Cheng Zijun.

“I’ll congratulate you in advance, President Cheng!”

If the buyout succeeded,

The Cheng Group would truly become invincible.

Cheng Zijun’s face was full of confident smiles.

…

Meanwhile,

At the Shen Group,

After Wang Shengli and Li Bingcheng left, Yun Haotian entered the top-floor office.

“Brother-in-law, I thought you would choose the Cheng Group to cooperate with. Didn’t expect you to pick Jidong Games. Jidong lost Xie Huaijin. What good proposal can they possibly deliver?”

He had gone through the proposal from the Cheng Group several times.

Every time, he discovered new things hidden inside.

Yun Haotian had been certain the cooperation would go to the Cheng Group this time.

He never expected his brother-in-law would actually choose Jidong.

“Come here.”

Shen Jingnian spoke calmly.

Yun Haotian immediately approached the desk. Shen Jingnian pulled out a file and handed it to him.

“Take a look at this.”

Yun Haotian took the document with a puzzled look.

About a minute or two later, his expression shifted from neutral to focused, then shocked, and finally to disbelief as he looked at Shen Jingnian.

“T-brother-in-law, is this really the bidding proposal from Jidong Games?”

Shen Jingnian nodded slightly.

Yun Haotian looked like he had seen a ghost.

“Good heavens! Jidong actually submitted such an impressive plan? I really underestimated them!”

If the Cheng Group’s proposal was a breath of fresh air, then Jidong’s was nothing short of a masterpiece.

The Cheng Group’s proposal couldn’t compare at all.

Jidong Games’ plan was at least ten times better!

Yun Haotian never imagined the nearly bankrupt Jidong Games could pull off such a stunning comeback.

It was unbelievable.

Five minutes ago, he was still doubting Shen Jingnian’s decision.

Five minutes later,

He understood Shen Jingnian — became Shen Jingnian.

Yun Haotian quickly asked, “Brother-in-law, who exactly made this proposal? Wang Shengli?”

Shen Jingnian shook his head faintly.

“It’s Miss Jiang, the new shareholder at Jidong Games.”

“Miss Jiang? Who’s that?” Yun Haotian asked.

At this moment, Yun Haotian hadn’t yet connected Miss Jiang with Jiang Ning.

To him, although Jiang Ning was impressive, she was still a doctor by profession.

Not quite the right fit.

“I don’t know much about her either,” Shen Jingnian said in a low voice.

Yun Haotian couldn’t help but sigh.

“This Miss Jiang is incredible — she completely crushed Cheng Zijun! If I get the chance, I’d really like to meet her in person.”

Shen Jingnian said nothing, just narrowed his phoenix-like eyes.

Though silent, the powerful aura radiating from him was enough to make anyone avoid direct eye contact.

Could it really be her?

He was growing more and more excited about working with Jidong Games.

**

Meanwhile,

Wang Shengli returned to the office and immediately called Jiang Ning to share the good news.

Hearing that Shen Group had chosen Jidong Games for cooperation,

Wang Shengli was ecstatic.

Jiang Ning, however, remained completely calm.

“Shen Jingnian has good taste.”

When Wang Shengli heard those three words — Shen Jingnian — he paused for a moment, then realized Jiang Ning was referring to Shen Jiuye.

Sure enough, Miss Jiang was Miss Jiang.

Everyone else treated Shen Jiuye with utmost respect.

Never flattered, never fawned, and even called him by his full name.

And yet, when she said “Shen Jingnian,” there was no arrogance at all — only the natural poise of a true boss.

Wang Shengli then asked, “Miss Jiang, do you have time for dinner tomorrow? One of the shareholders wants to meet you.”

“I can’t tomorrow. I have things to do.”

Wang Shengli replied respectfully,

“Understood, Miss Jiang. If you need anything, feel free to contact me anytime!”

“Alright.”

Right after Wang Shengli hung up, Li Bingcheng immediately asked, “So? So? Did Miss Jiang agree to dinner?”

“No,” Wang scratched his head, “She said she’s busy tomorrow.”

Li Bingcheng’s face fell.

He had been hoping to meet the legendary Miss Jiang.

On the other side,

Jiang Ning was reviewing high school textbooks.

Although she had been a top student in her previous life, it had been a long time since senior year.

Without going over some key points again, she wasn’t sure she could get the scores she wanted!

Suddenly, a knock came at the door.

“Ningning, still not asleep?”

“No, grandpa, come in.”

Old Mr. Jiang carried a plate of cut fruit inside.

“Don’t study too long at once. Eat more fruit, keep a calm heart. If you don’t get into Number One High School, it’s okay. You can try another high school and still get into college.”

“Okay, grandpa.”

…

The next morning at seven, Jiang Ning arrived at Number One High School with her exam admission ticket and stationery.

It was the time when students were entering the school.

The school gate was bustling with people.

He Suosuo had just gotten out of the car and saw Jiang Ning standing in the crowd signing in for the transfer student exam.

She wore a ponytail, standing out like a crane among chickens — impossible to miss.

Morning sunlight poured through the leaves and lit her profile.

She wore a simple white shirt, light jeans, and white sneakers.

Despite the simple outfit, it couldn’t hide her stunning beauty.

He Suosuo stared at Jiang Ning, jealousy bubbling up in her chest.

Such a pretty face — why did it belong to Jiang Ning?

If it were on her own face, she wouldn’t have been so useless, failing to hold her ground even after marrying into the Cheng family.

Indeed, a big goose is always a big goose — no matter how much it tries to pretend, it will never become a swan!

Pfft!

A lifetime of poverty and mediocrity.

“What are you looking at, Suosuo?”

He Sufang, having noticed her daughter falling behind, turned around and asked.

“Mom, look! Jiang Ning came to take the transfer student exam.”

He Sufang followed her daughter’s gaze and snorted disdainfully.

“That country girl thinks Number One High School is some rural school. Does she really think anyone can get in?”
