Chapter 455: 292 Master Wu acts arrogantly and wildly, while Father Jiang aggressively defends his own (9 updates)_2Jiang Zhaolin sat across from him, their eyes meeting across the table, the setting almost reminiscent of a legendary showdown between great rivals.

His demeanor was casual, he disregarded the threat of intimidation, picked up his cup, and took a sip of hot tea. Not usually a forceful or stern person, his presence was no less dominant than Jiang Zhaolin’s.

With the commander arriving on the scene, this drama...

had officially begun.

**

Most were familiar with Jiang Yanting, this fifth master of the Jiang Family. For the majority, it was their first time meeting him - appearing elegant yet lazy, seemingly frail with sickness, but the oppressive aura he emitted was like that of a dangerous Demon.

The two brothers, not alike at all.

”Uncle—” He looked at Jiang Zhaolin and suddenly smiled.

Jiang Zhaolin had clashed with him several times and had always come out worse for wear, suffering losses. He hadn’t expected that now, when it came to company matters, he would dare to interfere.

”Do you want to know the current situation at the Xie Corporation?”

He was smiling, but Jiang Zhaolin felt a chill run through his body.

It was as if someone had held a knife to his throat, making his heart race.

”Xiaowu!” Jiang Zhenhuan frowned, ”We’re discussing serious company matters.”

”I just thought, Uncle might be interested...” Jiang Jinsang caressed his teacup, his fingertips slightly reddened from the heat, ”After all, he wouldn’t want to see all his long planning against my brother go to waste.”

Everyone knew who had really orchestrated the entire event, but no one dared to speak plainly or directly confront Jiang Zhaolin.

The business world was deceitful, full of schemers and manipulators.

They could never have expected that the youngest of the Jiang Family...

would have the audacity to be so imperious upon arrival.

”You...” Jiang Zhaolin was boiling with anger, but as he was about to slam the table and rise, a louder reprimand from Jiang Zhenhuan overpowered him.

”Jiang Jinsang! This is a very serious and formal situation, all present are your elders, and you have no right to be so reckless.”

Jiang Jinsang just smiled, ”I just wanted to have a word with Uncle...”

”Do you really think it’s necessary to proceed with today’s matter?”

He asked lightly.

But the question came across as an implied threat, and an unabashed one at that.

”Jiang Jinsang, what are you getting at?” Jiang Zhaolin already detested him to his bones, his eyes narrowing in lethal seriousness.

”Leave the Jiang Corporation willingly, for the sake of our shared name and heritage, and I’ll let you save face.”

Everyone: ”...”

The conference room fell deafeningly silent, as still as the grave.

Demanding Jiang Zhaolin to willingly leave and saying it was out of respect?

Some people present were in support of Jiang Zhaolin, but hearing these words, they were uneasy; what did this imply?

But Jiang Zhaolin, pushed into such a position, with many of the company’s directors and senior executives watching, would not be able to back down even if Jiang Jinsang had some leverage over him.

Otherwise... he would become a complete laughingstock.

Jiang Jinsang sipped his tea, never having intended for Jiang Zhaolin to walk away unscathed because he knew that regardless of whether he made that statement or not, Jiang Zhaolin would not leave.

To provoke and anger him deliberately, to incite his rage, was merely for his own cathartic amusement.

Jiang Zhaolin glared furiously, his face flushed with anger.

And his opponent across the table was as serene as a cloud-draped breeze...

”Jiang Jinsang, this is the company, who do you think you are to be giving orders here?” Jiang Zhaolin, struggling to contain his anger, said every word deliberately, his eyes ablaze with fury.

”I’m unworthy, and you are? If Grandpa hadn’t kindly brought you into the company back then, would you have climbed to your current position?”

”I earned all of this through hard work!” Jiang Zhaolin gritted his teeth.

”Relying on our family’s shoulders for support, of course, everything comes easy to you, if you had any backbone, you shouldn’t have accepted my grandfather’s kindness in the past. You should have set out on your own and made a name for yourself. Then, if I called you uncle, it would be natural for me to hold you in high regard!”
