Chapter 116: Don't be ungrateful
"Unworthy of her position?" He was accusing her of being unkind again.
She is the proud and noble eldest daughter of the Jiang family. So what if she is not kind?
Jiang Qianhui raised an eyebrow slightly: "President Zhan, if the platform you're referring to is the seat of the president's wife of the Zhan Group, then you don't need to worry about me falling down. Because I'll walk down on my own."
Jiang Qianhui's words made Zhan Yanxun's expression turn ugly.
He said sternly, "Jiang Qianhui, don't be ungrateful!"
Qiao Weiwei and her grandmother were standing to the side. When they saw Jiang Qianhui and Zhan Yanxun arguing, they smiled at each other.
Even when faced with his anger, she simply smiled.
"President Zhan, what are you saying? I'm just following your advice. You just criticized me for being unkind to the elderly, but now look at me, I'm voluntarily giving up my position as the president's wife of the Zhan Group to please her. After all, while she was in the hospital, she was clamoring for her granddaughter to replace me as the president's wife of the Zhan Group. Now that I'm giving up this position, isn't it good to do what she wants?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Weiwei's expression immediately changed, and she said in a flustered manner, "President Jiang, that's not what my grandmother meant. She just hopes that I will marry a rich man and become the president's wife of the group, not the Zhan Group. Every old person hopes that their granddaughter can find a good man and marry a rich man. This is just an old person's wish."
As Qiao Weiwei spoke, she winked at her grandmother, Pang Chunyan.
Pang Chunyan feigned panic and said, "President Jiang, even if you gave me a few times the courage, I wouldn't dare say that my granddaughter wants to replace you. You come from a noble family, while we are just mud trampled on the ground. How could we dare to replace you? You've misunderstood."
Seeing Qiao Weiwei and Pang Chunyan looking so pitiful, they were almost kneeling down in fright. Zhan Yanxun said coldly, "You are still so arrogant and domineering. Do you think these miserable people should all be despised? A person like you has the face of Guanyin but the heart of a snake."
Jiang Qianhui snorted coldly. She had only given them a small punishment, so how could they be considered heartless? His analogy was really inappropriate. After all, she had only just begun, and to call her heartless at this level was already absurd. How would she be described in the future? What was she thinking?
"President Zhan, I quite like your analogy. 'A face like Guanyin, a heart like a snake.' From now on, I'll use this standard, and I hope you can handle it."
Jiang Qianhui smiled slightly, but it sent chills down one's spine.
Qiao Weiwei quickly hid behind Zhan Yanxun and whispered, "President Zhan, my grandmother is innocent."
Zhan Yanxun said coldly, "Jiang Qianhui, what do you want to do? You won't even spare a sick old woman? With me here, don't even think about touching them!"
Zhan Yanxun stared coldly at Jiang Qianhui. Their eyes met, and the tension grew increasingly palpable. Qiao Weiwei and the others grew even more excited. Qiao Weiwei was extremely pleased; she knew Zhan Yanxun liked her.
As the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, Jiang Qianhui smiled charmingly, her red lips curving slightly.
"President Zhan, don't be so nervous. I was just joking. I won't do anything to them. After all, I have so many projects to work on every day, why would I waste my time on them? But since their houses were taken away for work purposes, I will naturally make proper arrangements for their whereabouts."
Jiang Qianhui speaks gently and flawlessly, leaving no room for criticism.
She should be very angry, so why is she so calm?
Qiao Weiwei whispered to Pang Chunyan, "Grandma, even if President Jiang arranges for us to live in a damp, dark, and dilapidated basement, as long as it can shelter us from the wind and rain, we'll stay there. We're sorry to trouble you, Grandma."
"What are your plans for them?"
Zhan Yanxun frowned, as if he was certain that she would just stuff them into some dark and damp corner.
Jiang Qianhui wasn't angry. Instead, she frowned slightly and pretended to be aggrieved.
"Mr. Zhan, the way you're talking makes it sound like I'm going to throw them in the trash. Since they can't even afford to rent a place for themselves, then let them stay at the Zhan family mansion. Anyway, there are plenty of rooms at the Zhan family mansion. Do you need servants' quarters, guest rooms, or even the master bedroom? I'll arrange it."
Jiang Qianhui's words caused Zhan Yanxun's expression to change.
Is the Zhan family mansion a place where just anyone can squeeze in?
Pang Chunyan's face nearly lit up with a smile. The Zhan family mansion was a top-tier luxury residence, extravagantly luxurious. Even servants had to be carefully selected to enter such a place. If she could live there, her life would be complete.
Zhan Yanxun's eyes were icy. He had only wanted to hear her admit defeat, but she went and directly tried to stuff the two of them into the Zhan family mansion.
Zhan Yanxun said coldly, "Jiang Qianhui, their whereabouts are none of your concern. I summoned you here to apologize to the elders!"
"Sorry, I don't know how to apologize. I am the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. Do they deserve my apology? Besides, you're only asking me to apologize because I left them homeless. Now I'm going to arrange for them to move into the Zhan family mansion. Ask them if they're happy with that."
Pang Chunyan, suppressing her excitement, said, "President Jiang, how could someone as lowly as us be worthy of living in the Zhan family mansion? But the Zhan family mansion is so big, an old woman like me won't take up too much space. I just need a room to sleep in."
Qiao Weiwei's face turned pale as she listened to her grandmother's words.
Her grandmother's current eating habits are truly appalling.
She just wants to live in the Zhan family mansion, a luxurious and magnificent place. Doesn't she even realize that she can live there now?
She hasn't grasped the big picture yet. Letting Madam Zhan see her in this coarse state would be to concretize her humble background in front of Madam Zhan, which would lower her own status. She can't let her grandmother live in the Zhan family mansion.
Qiao Weiwei said pitifully, "President Zhan, no need. How could we possibly move into the Zhan family mansion? Even if my grandmother were to sweep the floors for the Zhan family, they wouldn't want someone so old. We can just rent a place anywhere."
Upon hearing this, Pang Chunyan's eyes widened in surprise.
That brat! She finally got to live in a mansion, and she ruined it.
She was furious.
Pang Chunyan winked and said, "Although I'm old now, I can still sweep the floor."
Qiao Weiwei tugged at her, and although the two appeared to be doing nothing big, they were actually engaged in a battle of wits.
Jiang Qianhui smiled slightly: "President Zhan, since the old man is quite satisfied, then arrange for him to stay at the Zhan family mansion. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
Jiang Qianhui left after speaking, and Qiao Weiwei said nervously, "President Zhan, I will make arrangements for my grandmother myself, so please don't trouble yourself."
Pang Chunyan pinched Qiao Weiwei angrily. She was about to move into the most luxurious Zhan family mansion, and she was about to ruin it. And she wasn't even her granddaughter.
