"Hello, Jiang Chen."
The call connected, and Ye Jingyi's slightly weary voice came through.
"Jingyi, I'm in the lobby on the first floor. Come down for a moment!" Jiang Chen spoke softly.
"You've arrived? Alright, I'm coming down immediately!"
After hanging up, Jiang Chen looked at the receptionist: "Jingyi will be down soon, and you'll soon know whether I'm really Jiang Chen or not. Now can you tell me what's happened?"
The receptionist looked at Jiang Chen with half-belief, hesitated for a moment, and spoke softly, "The company's stock has recently taken a hit, and there's been a bit of a financial crisis. A man named Si Laide came to us claiming he can help the company solve its current financial issues, but he wants President Ye to be his woman!"
Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke in a deep voice, "Which family does that Si Laide belong to?"
"He said he's from the… Chaide Family!" The receptionist replied softly, then suspiciously asked, "Are you really the chairman?"
"You'll know in a moment!" Jiang Chen spoke softly.
Ding!
The sound of the elevator reaching the floor echoed from the elevator area, and everyone turned their heads to look.
Tap tap tap!
The sound of high heels clacked, and a beautiful woman stepped out of the elevator.
"Jingyi!" Jiang Chen called out gently.
"Jiang Chen!" Ye Jingyi walked over with a beaming smile.
"Chairman! I'm sorry!"
"I'm sorry, Chairman!"
The receptionist and security guards all changed their expressions and quickly bowed to Jiang Chen.
"The chairman?!"
"Is it really the chairman?!"
"Hello, Chairman!"
"Hello, Chairman!"
The onlookers around were all exclaiming, rushing to bow to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen nodded towards the surrounding staff and turned to look at Ye Jingyi, touching her hair apologetically, "You've worked hard!"
Ye Jingyi shook her head lightly and glanced at the security guards and then the receptionist.
Pfft!
Ye Jingyi suddenly let out a laugh, teasingly saying, "You're being stopped at the reception in your own company, huh?"
"Uh…" Jiang Chen scratched his head in embarrassment.
Pfft!
The receptionist laughed as well, then quickly held it back.
"It's fine. This rascal hardly ever comes. Next time he does, you guys should pretend not to recognize him and stop him again!" Ye Jingyi spoke jokingly.
A look of guilt emerged in Jiang Chen's heart as he reached out to touch Ye Jingyi's delicate face.
Ye Jingyi smiled faintly, gently shaking her head.
Their exchange of glances seemed to communicate dozens of sentences!
"By the way, where are the people from the security company? Wasn't the security company supposed to take care of protection while the company's security was in training?" Jiang Chen asked softly, his peripheral vision catching a glimpse of several security guards sneaking away.
"Oh, the security company's business is pretty good, so I let them go back!" replied Ye Jingyi softly.
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and then frowned tightly, "Is the company in such a difficult situation?"
"No, I just felt they weren't really needed here, and regular security would suffice!" Ye Jingyi shook her head subtly, her eyes darting slightly.
Jiang Chen frowned slightly and took a deep look at Ye Jingyi, then took out his phone to make a call.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang!"
"Wu Ji, why did the security team at Yi Chen headquarters withdraw?" Jiang Chen spoke with a resonant voice.
"Mr. Jiang, it was President Ye who asked us to come back."
Jiang Chen spoke indifferently, "What did you do, or what did you say?"
"I, we didn't say anything," came the hesitant voice of Li Wuji from the receiver.
Jiang Chen's eyes turned icy, and he shouted angrily, "I see it's your arrogance showing again, isn't it? Do you think working security for a company is beneath you? Then you can go back, go back to being your own masters! You don't need to stay in my company anymore! Get lost!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen hung up the phone.
"Jiang Chen, it's okay!" Ye Jingyi gently tugged on Jiang Chen's arm.
Jiang Chen shook his head, "Jing Yi, you don't understand. Remember, Martial Artists, are no different from ordinary people. If they're your employees, then you should carry yourself with the poise of a CEO. It doesn't matter how strong they are, if they are unwilling, then let them get out of Yi Chen. I won't keep any masters here! You are my fiancée; what you represent is me!"
"Okay!"
Ye Jingyi nodded gently.
She indeed overlooked this point, always thinking about how Li Wuji and the others were powerful and could help Jiang Chen, keeping a respectful attitude towards them. However, she forgot that as Jiang Chen's fiancée, in his absence, she represented Jiang Chen and by acting the way she did, she would lose face for Jiang Chen!
The implication in Jiang Chen's words was to let Ye Jingyi not be afraid, he was there to support her, but Ye Jingyi gave it another meaning, however, this effect also achieved the purpose Jiang Chen wanted.
"Well, well, have you come down to meet me? Miss Ye, did you see me coming from the window?" A mocking voice came from the entrance.
Jiang Chen and his companions turned their heads to look, and a blond-haired, blue-eyed young man with six men in black suits entered from the company entrance.
"Is that Si Laide?" Jiang Chen whispered to Ye Jingyi.
Ye Jingyi was startled for a moment, then nodded gently.
"Miss Ye, you look really beautiful today!" Si Laide completely ignored Jiang Chen and the others, going straight up to Ye Jingyi, reaching out to grab her hand.
Slap!
A crisp sound rang out as Jiang Chen caught Si Laide's hand, his voice detached, "Hello, my name is Jiang Chen, Jing Yi's fiancé!"
Si Laide was slightly taken aback, the corner of his mouth curling into a mocking smile as he withdrew his hand swiftly, and pulled a handkerchief from his pocket. While wiping his hands, he scoffed, "You're the Jiang Chen who got rich by mooching off women!"
Lifting an eyebrow, Si Laide looked at Jiang Chen provocatively, "Do you really think you're worthy of Ye... Ah!"
But before he could finish his sentence, his words turned into a scream.
Thump!
A muffled thud, Jiang Chen kicked Si Laide in the stomach, his voice cold, "Get lost!"
Si Laide, caught off guard, was sent flying backward.
"Wow! So domineering!"
"Chairman is mighty!"
"That's so commanding, no wonder the President loves the Chairman so much!"
"A man of few words but determined actions, only such a man is worth relying on!"
The surrounding employees shouted out one after another.
Buzz!
A surge of momentum came, and one of the men in black suits behind Si Laide caught him, his aura exploding with fury, pressing down hard on Jiang Chen.
Buzz!
Boom!
Yan Hu's eyes turned frigid as his aura erupted and then receded in an instant, dispersing the man in the black suit's momentum fiercely.
Thud thud thud!
The man in the black suit stepped back several paces, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at Yan Hu.
"Dammit!"
Si Laide, clutching his stomach, glowered at Jiang Chen, "Do you know who I am? Huh? I'm from the noble Chaide Family. You dare to hit me? Do you know the strength of the people beside me? According to the power grade of your Flame Dragon Kingdom, they are all Martial Artists at the Earth Grade Peak, do you wish to die?"
"Get lost!" Jiang Chen spoke again.
"Dammit! Break his legs!" Si Laide bellowed.
