My Evil Genius Wife

The room fell into a suffocating silence after Grandfather Jiang said those words. Was he saying that the company was not doing fine under the management of Jiang Ru and Jiang Yahui?

  " Mr. Chairman, what do you mean by this? What's wrong….with the workings of the company? Everything was going according to the working boundaries that you have set in the past. What could have gone wrong?" Jiang Ru dared to question him about his suggestive statement. 

Is he trying to blame her and her father for not handling the company well? What does he mean by that company was not working fine? 

She and her father have been taking all the decisions in the past year and everything was going well.  Even the problematic board members and others who used to doubt her capability didn't question her and supported her decisions.

How can he come and make such remarks in front of everyone? Is he looking down on them?

_

Everyone was surprised by Jiang Ru's boldness to question the Chairman in front of everyone. Even though she is his Granddaughter, questioning him like this in front of everyone even when her father, the CEO of the company was staying quiet, isn't she being too thoughtless? They thought. 

Grandfather Jiang stared at Jiang Ru and didn't tear his gaze away from her for a good minute. That one minute felt like an eternity to everyone. The room fell into a deep, suffocating silence as the Grandfather and Granddaughter were having a staring contest. 

" You want to know what's wrong, huh?" Grandfather Jiang started. " Do you remember about the New Hotel Project? The construction tender of the hotel was supposed to be signed with our usual construction company but you canceled their proposal and signed with a newly established construction company. Why is that so?" 

" That's because the other company had a better concept and the budget that they had presented was way cheaper than the one we usually work with." She explained in exasperation. She took a deep breath and asked him, "Don't you think it's useless to spend more money when we can get it done at lower prices?" 

" Ms. Jiang Ru is right. We also agreed to her arrangement and thought it was the better option to work with that company since it's saving a lot of money. Mr. Chairman, I suggest that you should consider your decision once more." One of the board members supported Jiang Ru's claim. 

Just as Jiang Ru was gaining some confidence, Grandfather Jiang started to speak again, " Cheaper prices, huh? Jiang Corporations has a work ethic rule that we always follow-we prefer quality over saving some money. The new company that you have signed for the project, if you look into the matter carefully, they have been accused of using cheap material for the construction in the past. And not only that, they have other cases related to the poor construction pending in court too. Have you checked about that?" The Old Man asked in a chilling-cold voice. 

All the board members were surprised as they stared at Jiang Ru in surprise. They were told about the lower prices and better ideas only, but they were not informed about the cases of the company pending in the court and using cheap material for the construction. 

" Those are false accusations. There is no truth in it. That's why they're pending in courts and have not been confirmed yet. I don't think I did anything wrong in this. I was just trying to find a better option for the company and nothing else. Quality is important but taking consideration of the company's budget is equally important too." She argued while staying true to her argument.

Grandfather Jiang stared at her with a frown and let out a heavy sigh before turning to everyone, " If you don't think that you didn't do anything wrong in this case, I believe there is no reason for you to work on that project either."

" Grandfather!!" Jiang Ru exclaimed in shock. 

However, Grandfather Jiang ignored her and continued, " Jiang Corporations don't need to save money in terms of good quality. Because good quality is the basis of goodwill in the market and the customers. If you compromise with that, then don't ever think about working with me."

If they continue with this project, then the new company's poor reputation will affect their company's image as well. Jiang Corporations has no reason to associate himself with a company that already has a shitty reputation in the market for using fake material and lousy construction work. 

" Gu De, reach out to the legal team and tell them to find a way to nullify the contract with that company without the need to pay the contract termination fee. And Jiang Ru, from now on, you will no longer work on that project. Got it?" He looked at Jiang Ru who was gritting her teeth in anger and was clenching her fists on the table in frustration. 

How can he do that to me? She clenched her fists tightly, causing her long nails to dig deeper in her skin, leaving scratch marks on her smooth, white skin. He not only canceled that contract that she had confirmed before but also looked down on her in front of everyone by doing this. 

If he cancels that contract, then the deal between her and the CEO of that company will be canceled as well. The CEO of the company had made a promise to her that if she signs a contract with him, he will also help her in the future when she is in need. 

Even though the company is newly established, the man is not new in the industry. He has all kinds of connections and is the kind of person who will be a great help to her in the future. 

After this, she was sure that he would never help her. It will not be a surprise if he turns against her instead. 

'Relax Jiang Ru, Relax. Everything will be fine. Jiang Yue is already dead. Sooner or later, You will definitely become the magnificent successor of the Jiang Corporations.' She took a deep breath and calmed herself.
