Chapter 129: You Are Not a Coward!

Ji Lingchen was helpless. Gentleness did not seem normal on him. On the contrary, he made people feel afraid. He coughed a few times and composed himself. With a solemn face, he said, “Within this week, go and settle your home matters. The company will hire people to temporarily take your place. After a week, if you still have not solved your family issues and if you’re still bringing unnecessary emotions into work, hand in your resignation letter!”

“Yes, yes. Thank you, CEO!” Jiang Rui saw that the CEO had gone back to normal and he finally believed his words. He quickly bowed and thanked him.

“No need to thank me. This was all my wife’s idea,” Ji Lingchen replied.

“Wife?” Jiang Rui was puzzled. He had never met the CEO’s wife. Why would the CEO’s wife know about his family matters and even intercede on his behalf?

Ji Lingchen said, “It’s the little girl you saw yesterday. She’s not my niece. She’s my wife, Fang Xiaonuan.”

“Ah!” Jiang Rui was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground.

That little girl, he really thought that she was the CEO’s niece. So, it turned out that she was the legendary CEO’s wife!

“Thank you, CEO. Thank you, Madam!” Jiang Rui said and left the office.

He entered the elevator. The elevator door was about to close when Secretary Song suddenly appeared.

“Secretary Song, what Instructions do you have for me?” Jiang Rui asked.

Secretary Song said, “I just received the order from the CEO. I have already transferred 100,000 yuan into your account. Director Jiang, don’t let the CEO down.”

Jiang Rui was stunned. The CEO not only gave him a holiday, but also gave him money to help with emergencies. He had mixed feelings, and tears were welling up in his eyes. He could only express his gratitude. “Thank you!”

…

Just as Fang Xiaonuan had said, after this incident, Ji Lingchen’s status in the hearts of the employees had risen once more.

Assistant Liu had lunch with Ji Lingchen at noon. Suddenly, he brought up the topic that the employees of the company had been discussing fervently.

“CEO, everyone is proud and happy to be working at Ji Corporation.”

Ji Lingchen said, “Pass it down. All of this is because of the CEO’s wife, not me.”

Assistant Liu said, “No, CEO Ji. What you said when you signed the contract with the Tang Corporation has already caused everyone in the capital’s business circle to start asking about the madam.”

“If everyone in the company finds out that the madam has such a good heart, she will definitely be surrounded by many people the next time she shows up.”

Two days had passed since the signing of the contract with the Tang Corporation. Jiang Rui had also been gone for two days.

That day, after Ji Lingchen had signed the contract, Director Tang was very grateful to him. However, Ji Lingchen was passive-aggressive. “For me, if I can’t even manage my subordinates well, I won’t continue to work with them.”

“If you really want to thank me, you should thank my wife. She was the one who asked me to give you another chance. Make good use of this opportunity.”

After that, Ji Lingchen’s wife became popular.

Ji Lingchen asked coldly, “Who is asking about Xiaonuan?”

Assistant Liu said, “Many companies are asking about her. They probably want to win her sympathy in advance so that she can put in a good word for them.”

Ji Lingchen said, “Remember these companies. Never cooperate with them! Also, spread the news. If anyone dares to disturb her, they will bear the consequences!”

Assistant Liu said, “Yes.” Assistant Liu never expected his boss to be like this after marriage. He wanted everyone to know how good his wife was and did not want anyone to disturb her.

Fang Xiaonuan naturally did not know her husband’s intentions. She was still a rebellious child. Before her period was over, she started having cravings again. After dinner, she “accidentally” walked to the fridge. She looked left, right, and all around. When she saw that there was no one around, she quietly opened the fridge door and reached her naughty little hand towards the ice cream.

“Ahem.”

Suddenly, a cough came from behind her. Fang Xiaonuan heard the familiar voice and pouted. “Hubby…”

Ji Lingchen looked at the chocolate ice cream in her hand and said calmly, “Put it back.”

Fang Xiaonuan looked at the fridge and then at the ice cream in her hand. She said coquettishly, “Hubby, I just want a small bite…”

Ji Lingchen said, “Put it back!” His eyes were filled with an unnegotiable look.

Fang Xiaonuan immediately became like a deflated balloon and obediently put the ice cream back.

Ji Wen, who was watching this, said mockingly, “Fang Xiaonuan, don’t be afraid. You’re not a coward!”

Ji Lingchen raised his leg and kicked Ji Wen’s butt. “How can you talk to your aunt like that?”

Ji Wen rubbed his butt like a frightened little mouse. He put his hand over his butt as he left.
