Five years after being dumped, President Jiang became increasingly entangled in...

a few days later.

When Qiu Wenping arrived at the office, she was arrogant and domineering.

Apart from Xu Chaoxi, no one knew her identity.

The secretaries exchanged glances and then unanimously told Xu Chaoxi to stop her.

Although Xu Chaoxi had some doubts, she thought that Jiang Jingsi was still in a meeting inside and it was indeed inconvenient to be disturbed, so she went over directly and said with a smile, "Hello, ma'am, our CEO Jiang is in a meeting and it is not convenient to disturb him at the moment."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Wenping looked her up and down.

A completely unfamiliar face; it seems she must be Xu Chaoxi, the one causing such a stir in the company.

"Are you Xu Chaoxi?"

Although she didn't know how she knew her, she nodded anyway: "Yes, that's me."

"He's in a meeting, so I'll wait here." Qiu Wenping sat down directly in the office.

She glanced at Xu Chaoxi arrogantly and said, "Pour me a cup of tea."

Xu Chaoxi nodded and left. A "kind" secretary came over to remind her: "President Jiang hates her. He never sees her when she comes. I advise you not to stay here eating and drinking so well. If President Jiang comes out later, it may cause trouble. If President Jiang gets angry, you will have to bear the consequences yourself. Don't drag us into it."

After she finished speaking, Xu Chaoxi frowned: "Why? Who is she?"

"We don't know either, but I won't lie to you. You'd better let her out. If President Jiang comes back and finds that his office has been tampered with, he'll be furious. We'll be dragged into this, and you'll have to take responsibility."

She urged Xu Chaoxi to go and chase after Qiu Wenping.

Xu Chaoxi hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to do.

If what she said is true, then why did the receptionist let her in?

Thinking this, he went to the tea room, brewed some tea, and placed it in front of Qiu Wenping.

Qiu Wenping took only one sip before slamming the teacup down on the table and scolding, "How did you brew this tea? I always drink tea that's only 50 degrees Celsius. What kind of secretary are you?"

After she said that, Xu Chaoxi politely said, "I'm new here. Since you didn't say anything, I just did it as usual. Sorry."

After she said that, Qiu Wenping's expression didn't improve; instead, she slapped her.

With a sudden "snap," the noise caught everyone in the office off guard and drew their attention.

In an instant, everyone stood up and gathered at the office door to watch.

Xu Chaoxi fell to the ground and glanced back at their eyes.

Indifference, gossip, and being a bystander.

No one offered her any help.

Extremely cold-hearted.

Xu Chaoxi got up from the ground without saying anything.

"Do you know why you were beaten?" She looked up at Xu Chaoxi, who was covering her face, and sneered, "You've been too presumptuous."

"Today, I'll show everyone what a secretary should do, instead of needing to be reminded of everything. Go find Jiang Jingsi now and tell him I want to see him."

"President Jiang said he's in a meeting and won't see guests." Although she had been slapped, Xu Chaoxi was still sober. Going to the meeting room now would only displease Jiang Jingsi.

"Looks like this slap hasn't taught you a lesson."

As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion broke out in the conference room.

"What are you all doing gathered here?" Deng Xiao's words dispersed the crowd.

Jiang Jingsi entered the conference room and, upon seeing this scene, coldly glanced at Xu Chaoxi standing to the side, the red mark on her right cheek particularly glaring.

"Jing Si, you've come at the right time. Your secretary is quite arrogant. If I hadn't come today, I wouldn't have known that you had such a vixen by your side."

"Really?" Jiang Jingsi glanced at Xu Chaoxi beside him. "Secretary Xu, what's going on?"

Before Xu Chaoxi could speak, Qiu Wenping interjected, "What do you mean by that? You don't believe what I say? I'm your mother, your elder, and you think I can't be trusted at all?"

The word "mother" made Xu Chaoxi and Jiang Jingsi's expressions change.

Xu Chaoxi was shocked.

She knew perfectly well that Qiu Wenping was not Jiang Jingsi's mother; she had met his mother.

He introduced her to him five years ago.

She was a woman who was ill, in poor mental condition, and spoke somewhat incoherently. When she was lucid, she was an extremely gentle and kind lady who was always tender and patient with her son, not the arrogant and disdainful woman before her.

"So how does Mother want me to punish her?" Jiang Jingsi asked with a half-smile, a hint of amusement in his voice.

He deliberately emphasized the word "mother," and these two words fully expressed his contempt for her.

Qiu Wenping didn't understand, snorted, and raised her chin, saying, "Slap yourself twice, apologize to me, and this matter will be over."

Xu Chaoxi was taken aback, and was about to defend herself when Jiang Jingsi spoke calmly, "Secretary Xu, didn't you hear what my mother said?"

She was immediately taken aback.

He really wants him to fight?

"Can't bring yourself to do it?" As if sensing her emotions, Jiang Jingsi twirled a lighter in his hand. "It seems Secretary Xu wants to resign."

Xu Chaoxi's heart sank instantly, and she gritted her teeth and squeezed out two words: "I'll hit you."

Now that he's the boss, I have no choice but to obey him in order to keep my job.

Two "snap" sounds rang out in the quiet office.

"Didn't you eat? You're so weak."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chaoxi had no choice but to grit her teeth and deliver two loud slaps.

"Is that enough?" Her eyes were slightly red, and her hands, hanging by her sides, were trembling.

The office door was wide open, and even if the colleagues weren't there, they probably understood what was going on.

"Mother, are you satisfied now?" He didn't look at Xu Chaoxi, but instead thoughtfully asked Qiu Wenping for her opinion.

Qiu Wenping feigned magnanimity and said, "Alright, I'm not one to hold a grudge. It's good that you admit your mistake and correct it. I hope that next time we meet, Secretary Xu will know how to behave. What's the point of having a mouth? Just for decoration?"

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand dismissively and said, "Go out, Jing Si and I still have something to talk about."

Xu Chaoxi couldn't keep a straight face, turned around and ran towards the bathroom.

"Your father and the Cen family had arranged a marriage before. Cen Nian is very satisfied with you. Your father said that when he goes back this week, he will finalize your engagement."

After a long day of work, Qiu Wenping finally revealed the purpose of her visit.

Jiang Jingsi remained expressionless, his voice icy cold: "If you're only here to talk about this, you can go back now."

His attitude at this moment was completely different from his attitude when Xu Chaoxi was there.

"What kind of attitude is this? I came because of your father. If your father hadn't told me to come, do you think I would have wanted to come?"

"You can go back now." He gave him the order to leave without any courtesy.

Qiu Wenping gritted her teeth: "In any case, you have to go back this week, otherwise you won't be able to explain it to your father."

"roll."

Qiu Wenping couldn't save face, so she gritted her teeth and turned away.

What's so good about this unruly illegitimate son? I don't know what Jiang Zhengsong was thinking, insisting on supporting this illegitimate son. It's so unlucky.

After she left, Jiang Jingsi made a phone call.

After the call ended, he coldly said, "Keep your woman in check. If I see her at the company again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Why are you showing no mercy?"

"Put up a sign at the door: Qiu Wenping and dogs are not allowed inside."

There was a sigh on the other end. "Jing Si, she is, after all, your mother. We are family. Why are you so hostile towards her? She is really doing this for your own good."

"My mother is dead. You drove her to her death. Have you forgotten? Do I need to remind you?"

Upon hearing him mention Shu Lan, Jiang Zhengsong fell silent. After a long while, he finally spoke: "Shu Lan, she..."

"You have no right to mention her."

"I was reckless today. I'll come in person next time and apologize to you."

Jiang Jingsi didn't want to hear his polite words and hung up the phone directly.
