Unexpected Problems

Jiang Chanming took a sip from his fifth coffee of the day as he continued to read the documents in front of him.

For some reason, Jiang Corps is having a lot of problems lately. Things like false premium increases and fake insurance claim cases are hovering over the company like an annoying mosquito.

The worst thing about this is that the media got a hold of it and is constantly pounding at his door asking for an interview.

He took a deep breath as he massaged his temples. He had been in a lot of stress lately, and he could not even remember when he last spent time with his wife and daughter.Somehow he felt a little guilty. He knows that what happen to Jiang Mian is partly his fault. However, the sudden scandal in the company is keeping him away from his family.

He could not understand why all of a sudden, a tragedy would strike his company. Jiang Chanming made sure to cover up those things before.

He never expected them to suddenly show up and cause such a disturbance in his life.

"Mr. Jiang we received another call from a reporter. This time it's from The Post Daily. They are asking for an interview. Should-"

"I already told you to decline all of them! Tell him I'm busy or make up another reason. Just say I am unavailable or something!" Jiang Chanming chided. They have been receiving these calls in the past few days. It's been irritating him more and more.

"Also, Mrs. Jiang called. She wanted you to know that she needed your signature on a dress that she ordered for Miss Jiang Mian. She said the bank did not give her permission to spend such a large amount of money without your permission."His secretary informed him.

Jiang Chanming leaned back and clenched his jaws in annoyance. Lu Shi had been asking him for large amounts of money lately for Jiang Mian's birthday. Although this spending is not enough to bankrupt them, the company is having a hard time right now.

They should not spend their money on nonsense things like this.

"How much does she want this time?" He inquired, his brows wrinkled.

"Eight Million Yuan."

"Tell her that I do not approve of this dress. Two Million should be enough for a dress." He commanded. Jiang Mian is still facing a big scandal.

He is even reluctant to invite some of his elite friends because of this. What could be Lu Shi's reasons for buying such an expensive dress? Is it just to cover up the embarrassment caused by Jiang Mian?

Speaking of this embarrassment, Jiang Mian already asked for Jiang Yue's forgiveness in public.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yue is still not responding.

Jiang Chanming can't help but feel another burst of anger erupt inside of him.

All this embarrassment is caused by Jiang Yue. He wondered when did Jiang Yue become this cruel.

While he was still reflecting his current situation, he heard his business phone ring.

He glanced at the screen and furrowed his brows when he saw that it was his Elder brother Jiang Tianqi.

"What do you want?" He grumbled when he answered the phone.

"Ah, Younger brother. I miss you too."he heard Jiang Tianqi's taunting voice on the other line.

"I have no time to talk to you. I have some business to attend to."He said while scowling. He and his Elder brother were not on friendly terms.

Jiang Tianqi was supposed to inherit the Jiang Corps but because of Wang Rou's help, Jiang Chanming was able to secure the CEO position. This made the two brothers estranged from each other.

"I heard." Jiang Tianqi chuckled in delight. "You know, you can stop acting tough in front of me. After all, Wang Rou is already gone. You don't have a backer anymore."

"You- What are you talking about?"

"Hohoho... I heard some shareholders were already thinking of selling their shares. With the current situation of Jiang Corps, it won't be too long before it goes completely -"

"Shut your trap! You don't know anything!"

"Eh? Why are you angry Younger Brother? I am just giving you a heads up. I am your Elder Brother after all."

"Don't call me unless you need something important!" Jiang Chanming growled before cutting the line. He gritted his teeth before he turned his phone off.

Jiang Tianqi is just waiting for an opportunity like this to reclaim the company, and he will not let that happen.

Jiang Chanming took another sip from his coffee. This is a very precarious time for the company, he can't have any distractions.

However, out of his expectations, Lu Shi suddenly barged into his office with bulging eyes.

"Jiang Chanming, what do you mean by this? Why did you stop me from buying Jiang Mian's dress?" Lu Shi badgered, almost poking him in the face.

"Eight Million for a dress? Are you out of your mind!?" Jiang Chanming said, contempt and irritation radiating from his eyes.

Lu Shi struck her hands against her hips and squinted her eyes at Jiang Chanming. "Exactly, It's just eight million! How can you not give this to her? She is your daughter!"

"Can you not buy a two Million dress? We are not even sure if people will turn up at her party!"

"And whose fault is that? Oh right! It was you and your useless plan!" Lu Shi countered.

"Look I don't have time to deal with this right now. Two Million is en-"

"NO! You can't have your daughter wearing something as cheap as a two million dress! Did you see Jiang Yue's dress during her birthday? That was worth tens of millions! Did you see that necklace? It's worth tens if not hundreds of millions! How can you become so bias and let Jiang Mian wear somethi-"

"ENOUGH! I said it's two Million! Now go and get your daughter a nice 2 million dress! Stop acting like a spoiled brat!" Jiang Chanming chastised his wife. He does not have any time to deal with Lu Shi's jealousy right now.

"You- You are a useless father!" Lu Shi fumed before she stomped her way out of Jiang Chanming's office.

After Lu Shi left, Jiang Chanming let out a long sigh. His wife had been having some outrageous request lately. It seems that Lu Shi wanted to make this party as grand as Jiang Yue's.

He shook his head and closed his eyes. It seems that a lot of problems are coming his way lately.

....

Inside a tall building in another city.

A man can be seen smiling widely while talking to someone over the phone. He nodded his head as excitement flashed in his eyes.

"Yes. I understand. I will talk to some of the board members tomorrow."

"Got it. I will let you know once it's done."

After the call, the man let out a broad grin. He gets up from the swivel chair and walks towards the window to look at the view outside of the building.

"Hmmm... Wang Rou, I didn't know you have such a smart daughter." He murmured as he heard a soft knock from the door.

"Mr. Jiang one of the Board members from Jiang Corp just called. He wanted to see you tomorrow if you are available." His secretary politely said.

"I'm already scheduled to talk to another Board member tomorrow. Call him back and tell him I will talk to him 2 days from now." Jiang Tianqi said without tearing his eyes off the view outside the window.

After his secretary left, Jiang Tianqi then let out a chuckle of triumph.

"Hah! Jiang Chanming... I can't wait to see you fall. You won't even know what hit you!" He said as he let out another deep laugh.
