Jiang Anzhi was truly terrified of this old rogue in front of him.
In the beginning, Yuan Chengji had followed Elder Jiang Dingbian into battle and together they had built the incomparably strong Jiang family.
After achieving success, Yuan Chengji became arrogant.
He was overbearing and looked down on everyone, often not even respecting Jiang Dingbian.
Moreover.
Yuan Chengji's methods became increasingly cruel, sparing no effort against his enemies, and had repeatedly driven opponents to ruin!
Jiang Dingbian could no longer bear to watch.
A huge conflict arose between them in their business philosophies, and they eventually parted ways.
After gaining independence, Yuan Chengji began to build the Yuan family, using a series of dirty and unsavory methods to bring the Yuan family to a new height.
He wanted to retaliate against Jiang Dingbian.
Unfortunately, Jiang Dingbian was already in a high position, and each time he managed to suppress Yuan Chengji completely.
Out of consideration for their past achievements together, Jiang Dingbian always spared Yuan Chengji.
While Jiang Dingbian was alive, Yuan Chengji had no opportunity to bring down the Jiang family.
However.
Jiang Dingbian died.
Yuan Chengji's opportunity had arrived!
The current Jiang family was plagued by internal and external troubles, with endless problems arising; most crucially, there was no qualified leader.
Jiang Mengxin was too young, and Jiang Anzhi was too incompetent.
Neither of them had the qualifications or ability to contend with Yuan Chengji.
In Yuan Chengji's view, crushing the Jiang family was only a matter of time; he wanted to completely defeat the Jiang family and make the deceased Jiang Dingbian curse from his grave!
Yuan Chengji smiled and said to Jiang Anzhi, "Anzhi, why are you drinking alone?"
Jiang Anzhi remained silent.
He felt that anything he said would be inappropriate.
Jiang Anzhi knew exactly how terrifying this old rogue was; Yuan Chengji was not only cunning but also ruthless. If possible, Jiang Anzhi never wanted to deal with him.
Seeing Jiang Anzhi's silence, Yuan Chengji chuckled and said, "I know you're unhappy, thinking the position of Jiang family CEO should be yours, not that inexperienced little girl's!"
Uh...
Jiang Anzhi's thoughts were exposed, making him even more depressed.
Yuan Chengji patted Jiang Anzhi's shoulder and asked, "Anzhi, I watched you grow up, and I know your capabilities. You are fully qualified to replace Jiang Mengxin!"
Jiang Anzhi looked at Yuan Chengji suspiciously and asked, "Uncle Yuan, what are you trying to say?"
"Isn't it clear enough what Uncle Yuan is saying?" Yuan Chengji chuckled, "Uncle Yuan wants to help you ascend to the position of Jiang family CEO!"
Ah?
Jiang Anzhi was both shocked and delighted.
With Yuan Chengji's help, wouldn't dealing with Jiang Mengxin be as easy as pie?
But...
Could Yuan Chengji be so kind?
He asked, "Uncle Yuan, why are you helping me?"
Yuan Chengji said, "Actually, I'm not helping you. I just don't want to see Jiang Mengxin succeed. You've probably heard that Jiang Mengxin and her fiancé Lu Ming bullied my daughter Yuan Keying terribly. I can't bear to hit or scold my precious daughter, yet she was bullied outside. How can I tolerate this? Therefore, Anzhi, I will help you take the position of Jiang family CEO and bring Jiang Mengxin down! The goal is to avenge my precious daughter!"
This explanation seemed to make some sense.
Jiang Anzhi said, "Uncle Yuan, to tell you the truth, I also hate Lu Ming to the bone! Don't worry, as long as I become the Jiang family CEO, I will make Lu Ming pay dearly!"
Yuan Chengji nodded with satisfaction, "Then, let's toast."
The two clinked their glasses and drank them dry.
Afterwards.
Jiang Anzhi curiously asked, "Uncle Yuan, how do you plan to help me?"
Yuan Chengji took out a small brocade box and said, "Inside is the ingredient list for 'Rong Yan' skincare products. Take it to Jiang Mengxin."
"What? Rong Yan?"
Jiang Anzhi was greatly surprised.
Rong Yan was a world-leading brand of skincare products, whose products had magical effects of making skin delicate and radiant.
If he got their ingredient list and produced the same product, wouldn't that be incredibly profitable?
Jiang Anzhi said, "Is this helping me? Isn't this helping Jiang Mengxin make money?"
Yuan Chengji said, "Heh, listen to me. I've already arranged for someone to tamper with this ingredient list, changing just one herb. The product made will appear the same as Rong Yan, but it will have very serious side effects! You give this ingredient list to Jiang Mengxin and let her produce it in large quantities. In the end, she'll produce a lot of inferior products. Not only will the company lose money, but its reputation will be ruined, and there will be a large number of customer complaints. At that time, Jiang Mengxin won't be able to withstand the pressure and will resign voluntarily. Won't the CEO position be yours then?"
Jiang Anzhi frowned.
He said, "But the Jiang family will be a mess then, what's the point of me taking over?"
Yuan Chengji smiled, "Are you stupid? I'll give you the correct Rong Yan formula then, and you'll produce high-quality products, reversing the situation in one fell swoop!"
"Makes sense!"
Jiang Anzhi was overjoyed. By following Yuan Chengji's plan, he could quickly bring Jiang Mengxin down!
The position of Jiang family CEO was already within Jiang Anzhi's grasp.
Little did he know.
Yuan Chengji chuckled to himself.
After ruining Jiang Mengxin and tarnishing the Jiang family's reputation, would he really give the correct Rong Yan formula to Jiang Anzhi?
He was dreaming!
At that time, Yuan Chengji would pack up and leave.
People would only curse Jiang Mengxin and Jiang Anzhi, and Yuan Chengji would never be blamed.
This stratagem of using a borrowed knife to kill was used brilliantly.
Yuan Chengji secretly thought: Jiang Dingbian, you suppressed me for a lifetime. Now I will make you pay with blood! I want your descendants to kill each other, and I want the Jiang family you built with your own hands to be destroyed!
...
Jiang Anzhi, completely unaware, drove back to the company with extreme joy.
Without a word, he rushed into Jiang Mengxin's office.
"Uncle?" Jiang Mengxin was indeed startled to see Jiang Anzhi, "You look... in such a hurry, is something wrong?"
Jiang Anzhi chuckled, placed the brocade box on the desk, and said, "Mengxin, your uncle has brought you good news, good news that will make the Jiang family soar!"
Jiang Mengxin asked, "What good news?"
Jiang Anzhi closed the door and said mysteriously, "Mengxin, do you know Rong Yan?"
Jiang Mengxin nodded, "Yes, the world's leading high-end skincare brand."
Jiang Anzhi tapped the brocade box, "This contains the ingredient formula for Rong Yan's latest product! With this formula, you can produce products identical to Rong Yan's!"
"What?"
Jiang Mengxin was greatly shocked and stood up immediately.
Her heart pounded as she looked at the brocade box.
As the female CEO of the Jiang family, Jiang Mengxin clearly understood the weight of this ingredient list.
With it, the Jiang family could truly soar and make a fortune!
