383: Chapter 383 The So-Called Relatives_1 383: Chapter 383 The So-Called Relatives_1 “But!” “No buts, I’m going to talk to Old Master Jiang and prepare him mentally,” Xiao Chen said with a smile, “He is a reasonable person, don’t worry.” After finishing the conversation, Xiao Chen left the room. Jiang Meng thought for a while, took out her laptop, and began to look through files. The company was about to make its move on Tianhai. Tianhai is an international metropolis after all. There were numerous competitors, not only domestic but also foreign ones. They had to develop products specifically for the Tianhai market. If they could take over the Tianhai market, it would be an incredible victory for Xinmeng Group. Their products would truly step onto the international stage in a sense. Hence, this opportunity must be seized. Jiang Meng didn’t want to waste the environment her husband Xiao Chen had created for her. Xiao Chen thought she was indifferent to those family relations, but he was mistaken. Jiang Meng couldn’t possibly be unconcerned. Because her husband was in that game, after all. During Xiao Chen’s days in Tianhai, not only did Jiang Meng call Yang Liying every day, but she also kept up with Tianhai’s news every day. In that dog-eat-dog, brutal environment, Xiao Chen had created a level playing field for Xinmeng Group. She too must fight a beautiful siege in the upcoming market competition. She absolutely could not let her husband’s efforts be in vain. When Xiao Chen arrived at the living room, Old Master Jiang was chatting with Liu Xin. The notices sent by Liu Xin had gone out. The relatives were all excitedly saying they would come. As for that, Liu Xin had already anticipated it. Most of the Jiang Family’s relatives were based in Jiangnan Prefecture. Nowadays in Jiangnan Prefecture, to be able to work for Xinmeng Group was without a doubt an immensely honorable thing, even more prestigious than being admitted to a well-known university. Some were even planning to throw banquets. Just because of this point, those relatives wouldn’t miss the chance to curry favor with Old Master Jiang. “Xiao Chen, you’re here, have a seat!” Old Master Jiang pulled Xiao Chen over and let out a sigh, “Without doing business, you don’t know how hard it is. Without running a corporation, you don’t know the difficulties it entails. I went through many dangers to build Jiang Group. And Xinmeng Group today has been through more and probably faced even greater dangers. There’s really no need for you to please those people for an old man like me. I know too well what kind of people they are. Previously Jiang Group was all about nepotism, accommodating too many family members for the sake of face. This led to the decline of Jiang Group. This time they’re coming, and they’re likely going to ask for something; that’s why I’m not willing!” “If they really do ask for something, what do you plan to do, Old Master Jiang?” Xiao Chen asked with a smile. “If anyone dares to make demands, I’ll break their damn legs!” Old Master Jiang said angrily. “Back when that unfilial son poisoned me and I was seriously ill, not one came to see me. They all went to grovel before that unfilial son. This time I’m allowing them to come for the birthday celebration out of consideration for our blood relationship. If they come respectfully to offer birthday wishes, I’ll still help any family in need. But if they have ulterior motives, I’ll be ruthless.” “Isn’t that enough?” Xiao Chen said with a laugh, “You understand better than anyone, so, this birthday celebration must be held. Moreover, let’s not accept any gifts from outsiders, we have everything we need, there’s no point in accepting gifts, and it can also lessen the burden on those poorer relatives. It will also prevent some people from trying to seek favors with their presents.” “Alright, let’s do that!” Old Master Jiang nodded and said. “You should rest up now, you must not have slept well after the long journey. Sigh, you’ve sacrificed so much for this family. Yet we are incapable of doing anything for you, which is truly regrettable and shameful!” Looking at the red blood vessels in Xiao Chen’s eyes, Old Master Jiang sighed. “By bringing Jiang Meng to my side, you’ve bestowed upon me the greatest favor!” Xiao Chen said with a smile. “Speaking of that, I feel embarrassed.” Liu Xin said with a bitter smile, “When you married Jiang Meng, I was always wary of you, thinking that you were a trap Jiang Tian had set for my daughter and me. I was cold and harsh to you, and I never apologized. Mom, I’m truly sorry!” “You’ve done nothing wrong.” Xiao Chen said with a smile: “You did that to protect Mengmeng, and I would have done the same in your position. Besides, let bygones be bygones. Now, we are a loving family, aren’t we? My parents will also come on the birthday celebration, and you can get along well with them then.” “That would be wonderful. Your parents are good people, approachable and very easy to get along with. The upbringing from a great family really makes a difference,” Liu Xin remarked sentimentally. “What great family, those are all tales of yesteryears, my parents have just studied more than others. Your harmonious relationship is my greatest comfort,” Xiao Chen said with a smile, then stood up: “I’m really quite tired, I’m going to sleep. You should rest early too.” The day before the birthday celebration. The relatives of the Jiang Family gathered together. Old Master Jiang had an older brother who was also seventy-five that year. Though they were brothers, their fates were starkly different. Old Master Jiang had dropped out of school early to start his own business and made a name for himself. His brother, Jiang Chen, went to college, but upon retirement, he was just an ordinary worker. Jiang Chen had always looked down on Old Master Jiang. He thought Old Master Jiang was uneducated. Yet Old Master Jiang treated this brother quite well; over the years, his assistance enabled Jiang Chen’s family to live in a small villa. He also arranged jobs for the children in the family. Alas, with Jiang Group gone, those who were arrogant yet incompetent became unemployed once again. Knowing only how to indulge in leisure, what could they do? Coupled with an unwillingness to endure hardship, it was just a matter of time before they ran through their resources. “Grandpa, this time you have to speak up for me and get Uncle to arrange a job for me,” Jiang Yu said to Jiang Chen: “Becoming an employee of Xinmeng Group is now prestigious. With the relationship you have with Uncle, getting me a managerial position at Xinmeng Group shouldn’t be a problem, right? If not, they could give our family some shares. We don’t even need to be involved in the management.” “Is Xinmeng Group really that great?” Jiang Chen was reluctant to admit that his brother’s granddaughter was more capable than his own children. “Absolutely, father, Xinmeng Group is now the best enterprise in Jiangnan Prefecture. Sooner or later, it’ll gain international fame. The company isn’t public yet, but if it were, it would probably be worth tens of billions.

In their eyes, Xinmeng Group had almost become their golden goose. They never considered whether others were willing or not. They just subjectively thought that since Jiang Group could do certain things in the past, Xinmeng Group could do the same now. But they seemed to overlook one thing: the owner of Xinmeng Group wasn’t Old Master Jiang.
