Ugly Enough

It was still early when Jiang Jingchen arrived at Jiang Corporation.
Official working hours started at 9 a.m. while Tang Beibei school hours started at 8 a.m. It was only a few minutes past eight when he arrived, so he was the only person in the office.
He got up and walked around his colleagues’ desks, looking at the post-it notes on their desks, notebooks on their tables and the notes they wrote.
As an employee in the customer service department, one had to know some technical terms when dealing with customers.
And communication techniques when they had to communicate with other departments when they redirected customer enquiries or escalated customer problems to technical support, for example.
He was not interested in these things and flipped through the notes casually. He believed that he could derive the shortcomings of Jiang Corporation from all the customer feedback that came through the customer service department.
Didn’t Jiang Xing left him at the customer service department so he wouldn’t learn anything useful so he could create trouble?
Unfortunately, he could find countless ways to hurt Jiang Corporation here.
But he couldn’t care less.
He had a big appetite and wouldn’t bother to do anything that didn’t destroy Jiang Corporation at the core.
He put the notebook back on his colleague’s desk, went back to his own desk and called Yang Hao.
“Wow, I’m surprised that you still remember me after the new year.”
“Hasn’t Song Zhou been in contact with you? Are you jealous?”
Yang Hao chuckled. Every time they talked, he would be fed Jiang Jingchen’s lovey-dovey. He was so sick of it.
“Please cut straight to the point.”
“How’s the project going?”
“We are still in negotiations. Those people are all old foxes. They think that Wen Sang is too young to take on this project. But Wen Sang is also quite capable to be able to take on these old foxes and come out unscathed.”
“One of them touched her and gave her a hotel key card. Wen Sang smiled and redirected the conversation. When the banquet ended, she found someone to beat the man up so badly that he ended up in the hospital. Apparently, the tendons in his hands had been severed.”
“Wen Sang looks like a Barbie doll, but behind you she’s a devil that can crush people’s hearts.”
Jiang Jingchen smiled. “How can she be the successor of the Wen family if she isn’t capable? Where are we in the process?”
“There’s this technology company that has been a long-time partner of Jiang Corporation. They feel that it’s too risky for them to suddenly abandon the Jiang family and work with the Wen family instead. They have a lot to think about, so we haven’t reached a deal yet.”
Money was the first step in such a big project. Next came the technical expertise.
Jiang Corporation obviously had money. Old Master Wen had been recuperating for many years. Although the Wen family was just as rich as the Jiangs, they weren’t as well-known.
Jiang Corporation did a good job of keeping up appearances. When a company said that they were working with Jiang Corporation, they immediately earned reputation and added value to their brand.
If Wen Corporation wanted to win Project G, they would need to withstand the pressure from Jiang Corporation.
Jiang Jingchen raised his eyebrows. “Business is like war. We must face our enemy head-on. How about we change our strategy, make a little detour and create turmoil from within.”
Yang Hao was confused. “Mr. Chen, do you have a solution?”
“I’m still thinking.”
Yang Hao was speechless.
“We lack technical expertise. Discuss with Wen Sang how you can cause restlessness within the technical department in that technology company. I’ll add fuel to fire from within Jiang Corporation. We’ll attack from within and without.”
Yang Hao understood now. When Mr. Chen mentioned turmoil from within, he wasn’t referring to Jiang Corporation but the technology they had developed with their technology partner.
Because if Jiang Corporation wanted to win Project G, they had to go through a technical review. If their technology was not up to standard, they would be out of the game.
“I’ll call Wen Sang right away. Oh, by the way, Wen Sang has asked a few times to have dinner with you. What do you think?”
“How can a singleton like you understand the position of a married man like me?”

“You don’t have a girlfriend, so you don’t understand a woman’s mind. My wife always dislikes me for not being ugly enough. She’s afraid that I’ll be snatched away.”
“I must, of course, please my wife. If 1 insist on doing things that she doesn’t like, I’d be asking for trouble.”
“Even if a celestial immortal asks, she’s not as important as my wife, understand?”
“… Got it. I’m hanging up.”
The man who used to be quiet suddenly became so frivolous. Jiang Jingchen made him listen to all his nonsense and high praises for his wife but wouldn’t let him meet his wife. It was so infuriating!
Jiang Jingchen listened to the call disconnect tone on his phone and smiled.
He tapped on his phone to check on the stock market for a while and saw the price rise of Wen Corporation shares.
Wen Corporation was an old company that had survived the ups and downs of the economy. It was still standing strong. It had the kind of foundation that Jiang Corporation couldn’t rival.
Wen Sang had been expanding their market share overseas in the past few years. Based on the data, Wen Corporation had been developing more steadily compared to Jiang Corporation, and had a higher potential for growth.
If Jiang Xing was complacent and looked down on the Wen family, he might just learn the biggest lesson in his life.
At this moment, Jiang Jingchen’s colleagues walked into the office one after another. They were all very surprised to see him there so early.
They thought that he had probably taken the wrong medicine because it wasn’t his style at all to come to work so early.
Everyone greeted him politely. Some of them came to work with their breakfast and chatted with their colleagues as they had breakfast. They even had a cup of tea after breakfast before they slowly started work.
People like that were clearing biding their time at Jiang Corporation.
Jiang Jingchen’s sharp gaze swept the open office and landed on a young man’s face.
When this young man got to work, he would help to clean up and make notes if there were any problems. The notebook that Jiang Jingchen flipped through earlier was his.
Jiang Jingchen suddenly thought of something and smiled.
At the school cafeteria, Tang Beibei saw the video of her Lantern Festival with Ruan Qi playing on the big screen for all the students to watch.
She covered her face in embarrassment.
She felt a strange sense of shame when she re-watched her own performance on stage or on one of their dance videos.
It was as if she wore a nice piece of clothing but when she looked at it from a different angle, she realized that the piece of clothing was only so-so.
Nonetheless, many students were watching their video on the big screen, and she felt a little awkward.
But she liked the feeling when she danced.
She turned to Fu Jin and said firmly, “Fu Jin, help me get a registration form. I want to sign up.”
“If you really want to take part, I will support you.” Fu Jin said.
“Yes, thank you.”
The corners of Tang Beibei’s mouth curled up as she ate.
“You don’t have to thank me. You shared your spot questions with me and helped me do well in my exams. 1 should be thanking you.”
Tang Beibei was embarrassed by his words. “Fu Jin, you’re smart. You’ll do well anyway.”
“Not necessarily. I’m always at the dance studio and didn’t spend much time on revisions. Studying medicine is indeed very tiring.” Fu Jin sighed.
After the three of them had lunch, Fu Jin got a registration form for the two of them to fill out.
Ruan Qi asked Fu Jin if he would participate, and Fu Jin waved his hand. “If I go, it’ll put pressure on everyone.”
Ruan Qi’s lips twitched. “Pardon me for asking such an idiotic question. If a dance god like you take part, you’ll be number one without a doubt!”
“Nah. I’m just too busy. 1 can only earn money when you guys take part in shows.”
Fu Jin sighed. He had invested a lot of money into his dance troupe. If he didn’t make some money from his dancers soon, he would have to eat dirt.
Tang Beibei looked at the rules and timeline for the dance competition. Auditions would be held in half a month’s time, so she would need to start practicing with Ruan Qi in the afternoon.
When school ended, she worried about how she would tell Jiang Jingchen about her participation in the competition.
What would she do if he didn’t agree?
