Boom!
A dozen bodyguards fell to the ground with a loud thud, crying out in pain.
They looked at Chen Jie in shock. "You, how are you so strong?"
"You dare lay hands on me, you're asking for death!" Chen Jie's eyes turned cold as he walked towards the leader.
He reached out, grabbed him by the collar, and lifted him up.
"You! Stop it! Given how strong you are, we can overlook this!" The man's face turned red as he spoke.
"Oh? I'm curious, how will you overlook this?" Chen Jie sneered.
The other man said with difficulty, "We are backed by Shengtian Company. If you hurt us, you'll anger Shengtian Company! Then you'll be finished!"
"We didn't want to use Shengtian Company's influence, but if you go too far, don't blame us! You should know Shengtian Company is much more powerful than our President Jiang's company, far beyond your reach!"
Chen Jie laughed. "Shengtian Company? Why do you assume Shengtian Company would help a few insignificant individuals like you?"
"Because we are the future protective umbrella of Shengtian Company!" the man roared, his face flushed.
This piqued Chen Jie's curiosity.
"How did Jiang Xue's company become the protective umbrella of Shengtian Company?" Chen Jie asked.
"Why should we tell you?" several of them said coldly.
"If you don't tell me, I'll cripple all of you!" Chen Jie threatened.
"You..."
Their expressions shifted slightly.
Then they sneered, "It's not a problem to tell you. The initial intention for our President Jiang to establish an security company was to protect Shengtian Company!"
"She said that the boss of Shengtian Company has a good relationship with her and might encounter danger in the future, so she established the security company in advance, hoping to help the boss of Shengtian Company one day."
What?
Chen Jie's heart trembled, and his expression became extremely complicated.
He realized that Jiang Xue establishing the security company was actually for him.
It turned out that after Jiang Xue inadvertently caused trouble at the martial arts competition that day, she felt very guilty towards Chen Jie and was determined to build her own influence, hoping to be able to help Chen Jie one day.
Now, it seemed that Jiang Xue's actions were all for him.
Yet today, he had publicly slapped her.
Understanding the reason behind it, Chen Jie felt a surge of guilt in his heart.
It was no wonder Jiang Xue had reacted so intensely today.
"Heh heh, scared now? If you're scared, then let us go! And apologize to us, otherwise Shengtian Company won't let you off!"
The dozen or so security guards sneered, thinking Chen Jie was afraid.
"Listen carefully, I am the boss of Shengtian Company!" Chen Jie shouted, and without heeding their shock, he left the hotel.
Now, Chen Jie felt immensely guilty towards Jiang Xue. He needed to find her and have a serious talk.
After leaving the hotel, he immediately took out his phone and dialed Jiang Xue's number.
However, Jiang Xue's phone indicated it was turned off.
This made Chen Jie frown.
Although her actions were indeed for him, her temper was quite significant.
So, Chen Jie had no choice but to go to the Jiang family's company.
"Stop! What are you doing here?" As Chen Jie was about to enter the Jiang Corporation, a security guard at the entrance blocked him.
Chen Jie frowned and said, "I'm looking for your company's boss, Jiang Xue."
The security guard sized Chen Jie up and down, a look of understanding on his face.
Another pretty boy coming to harass President Jiang.
However, this pretty boy clearly didn't have much strength, with no designer brands on him at all.
He said impolitely, "With your shabby appearance, you think you're fit to see our President Jiang? Get lost! Don't force us to escort you out!"
"Shabby?" Chen Jie threw his car key in front of the guard. "Open your eyes and see what kind of car I drive!"
The security guard took the key and looked at it. Then he turned his head and saw a large G-class Mercedes parked not far away.
This...
The security guard flinched.
He could be arrogant with ordinary people, but he wouldn't dare to act like this towards rich young masters.
Just as he was about to apologize nervously, he realized Chen Jie had already entered the company.
"What the hell, are they changing tactics in pursuing our President Jiang? They're starting to pretend to be poor."
The Jiang family had been doing very well lately, and many young masters had their eyes on Jiang Xue, but all of them had failed.
Those young masters all carried themselves with an air of nobility and arrogance.
But today, a young master came pretending to be poor and shabby.
Chen Jie quickly reached the top floor of the company.
However, he did not find Jiang Xue in the general manager's office.
As he passed the conference room, Chen Jie noticed there were people inside.
So he walked in.
"Who are you?" Chen Jie asked as the people in the conference room looked at him, and someone frowned.
"I'm looking for Jiang Xue."
Upon hearing this, a senior executive immediately asked, "You are..."
"I'm Jiang Xue's friend," Chen Jie replied.
Jiang Xue was always addressed as President Jiang in the company. The employees had never heard anyone dare to call Jiang Xue by her name.
For a moment, they were displeased. "Are you here to discuss cooperation?"
"No, I have some personal matters to discuss with Jiang Xue."
The group understood. They probably assumed he was there to pursue Jiang Xue, but seeing Chen Jie's plain attire, they immediately said, "Our President Jiang is not in the company. You can leave now. Please close the door when you leave, don't disturb our meeting."
Chen Jie frowned. "Is Jiang Xue really not in the company?"
The executive who spoke frowned. "I told you, she's not."
"Do you know Jiang Xue's other contact information?" Chen Jie asked.
"Security, please escort him out!"
The executive impatiently shouted.
At his command, two security guards entered from outside, their expressions unfriendly as they glared at Chen Jie.
They had previously assumed Chen Jie was an employee and had let him wander around the building. This guy was actually nobody.
They would be reprimanded for this later.
Stomp, stomp, stomp...
From outside the door, an old man and a young man walked in.
"Chen Jie!" The old man and the young man were stunned to see Chen Jie.
They were Jiang Xue's grandfather, Jiang Jun, and Jiang Xue's cousin, Jiang Bei.
Chen Jie was also very surprised. He hadn't expected Jiang Jun and Jiang Bei to be here.
After all, their relationship with Jiang Long's family was extremely tense.
"Elder Jiang, you're here..." The executive clearly knew Jiang Jun and quickly went to greet him.
It was obvious that this wasn't Jiang Jun's first time here.
"Jiang Jun, who allowed you to come to Jiang Xue's company?" Chen Jie frowned.
"Shut up! How dare you address Elder Jiang so casually?" The executive quickly flattered him.
Jiang Jun immediately shouted, "Shut up!"
"Exactly, shut up!" the executive echoed.
Jiang Jun turned to him. "I'm talking to you. You shut up! My grandson-in-law, how dare you offend him?"
"Ah?" The executive was shocked.
Everyone else in the conference room turned pale with shock.
Jiang Jun's grandson-in-law, that would be President Jiang's husband!
When did President Jiang have a husband?
Even Chen Jie couldn't help but frown. How did he not know he had become Jiang Xue's husband?
