Chapter 1429: Chapter 1419: On the Right Track

"Don’t worry, you won’t miss out. It will be in your account within today. Just as you called me, it’s perfect timing. Find a day to come over to Yanbang; the security team’s documents need to be processed there," said Elder Xu.

If Elder Xu hadn’t mentioned it, Jiang Cheng would have almost forgotten he still held a position in the security team. There are quite a few benefits to this identity, so he might as well enjoy them.

"Alright, I’ll try to head over in the next few days," Jiang Cheng said, after which Elder Xu hung up the phone.

Jiang Cheng looked at his phone and, for a moment, didn’t know where to go. He felt quite lost for a while.

At Tencent Company, there’s Old Zhang and Old Ma. Although they are a bit understaffed, they manage to handle things. Since the new company hasn’t been registered yet, Jiang Cheng feels like a headless fly, unsure of where to fly to. Should I be looking for a job? A thought suddenly occurred to Jiang Cheng.

Even though he is the second-largest shareholder of Tencent Company, money isn’t a problem for him. However, life feels somewhat dull right now. Working at Tencent doesn’t fill him with a sense of fulfillment, which is why he has the urge to find a job outside—something resembling the life of an ordinary office worker might be nice.

But what can he do? In this era, he doesn’t have any qualifications, though he does have a lot of connections. But these connections only lead to owing people favors, not making Jiang Cheng feel fulfilled in life.

Should I go back to school? This thought suddenly popped up in Jiang Cheng’s mind but was quickly dismissed. Not only is he no longer young, but he doesn’t care much for the bureaucracy in schools either. Better to find a job instead.

But where should he find a job?

Driving aimlessly down the street, Jiang Cheng felt as though the vastness of Q Mansion offered him no place to settle. Zhang Mengmeng had already integrated into the company’s rhythm, spending her days coding and enjoying life—a life full of happiness and fulfilment. Others who came along also have their own purposes. Only Jiang Cheng feels lost, not knowing what he should do.

At that moment, a realization dawned on Jiang Cheng. How had he not thought of this sooner? This was the best place for him! He patted his forehead, as if blaming himself for not thinking of it earlier.

What Jiang Cheng focused on now was the prestigious secondary school, Yizhong, in Q Mansion. That’s right, Jiang Cheng thought of becoming a teacher at school!

If Old Ma and the others found out about Jiang Cheng’s plan, they’d be greatly shocked—to forsake the position of general manager at Tencent and aspire to become a school teacher. Isn’t that folly? But Jiang Cheng’s outlook is simple: this is a chance to live life. He had relied on future experiences to get by in this era, which is why he found some success. But it wasn’t based on his true talent and hard work, so the sense of achievement wasn’t strong. This wouldn’t be the case in a school.

Like the silkworm that spins until death, like the candle that weeps to ashes—a short ancient poem encapsulates the greatness of the teaching profession. Truth be told, since childhood, Jiang Cheng wanted to be a teacher. But destiny has a way of meddling with people. Yet now, he has the opportunity to fulfill this dream. How could he not strive for it?

Once the idea struck Jiang Cheng, he was determined to act upon it.

He pulled out his phone and found Fu Weishu’s number. Typically, matters like this wouldn’t require contacting Fu Weishu, but Jiang Cheng didn’t have the education team’s leader’s number. Perhaps because the education team isn’t a dominant department, their leader wasn’t present in the government office that day, so Jiang Cheng lacked his contact information. Hence the need to call Fu Weishu.

"Hello, who’s this?" Fu Weishu’s calm voice came through the phone. As someone influential, he had a certain air of authority.

"Hello, Yang Wenshu, this is Jiang Cheng. I’m not sure if Yang Wenshu still remembers me?" Jiang Cheng inquired. He was truly uncertain whether Yang Wenshu remembered him. Although it was unlikely he forgot, asking costs nothing.

Jiang Cheng? How could I forget? A person who caught regional attention, with Elder Xu personally intervening, whom the county must prudently treat. Even if he forgets himself, he wouldn’t forget Jiang Cheng.

Mr. Jiang, why would I forget? It’s only been a few days since we parted. How’s Elder Xu’s health?" The veteran bureaucrat knew how to indirectly compliment Elder Xu.

"Haha, he’s doing well. I have something I’d like your help with," Jiang Cheng said straightforwardly. He wanted to get this settled as soon as possible and start his new life.

"Mr. Jiang, feel free to speak. If it’s within my capacity, I’ll do my best to assist," Yang Wenshu replied, his words tightly woven. After all, the scope of his capability is his to define.

Jiang Cheng could see through his little ploy, but didn’t mind. Everyone from the Hua Family has this flaw, and he’s grown accustomed to it.

"Rest assured, Yang Wenshu, it’s no big deal. I want to become a teacher at Yizhong; I’m wondering if you can help?" Jiang Cheng said directly.

"What, you want to be a teacher? This..." Yang Wenshu was quite shocked internally. Wasn’t Jiang Cheng still the second-largest shareholder in Tencent Company? Why suddenly aspire to be a teacher—could it be a whim? With this thought, Yang Wenshu felt a bit relieved.

Rich people often have odd quirks. After consuming too much gourmet fare, a taste of rural simplicity is just natural. Is it difficult to manage?" Jiang Cheng furrowed his brows; could Fu Weishu also be unable to assist? Should I directly ask Xu for help?

No, no, Mr. Jiang, rest assured. I’ll address it right away and have Li from the education team reach out to you directly," Yang Wenshu offered. This small favor—a mere verbal task—was something Yang Wenshu was happy to oblige as a favor to Jiang Cheng.

"Then thank you, Yang Wenshu. I’ll pass your regards to Elder Xu," Jiang Cheng said, and hung up the phone.

Yang Wenshu wasn’t perturbed by the sudden end of the call. Instead, he was quite pleased. What did Jiang Cheng’s words signify? Jiang Cheng was going to speak favorably of him in front of Elder Xu, which was more significant than any deed! Who would have thought that such a small favor could yield such benefit? He would certainly cultivate closer ties with Jiang Cheng. With these thoughts, he promptly picked up the desk phone and dialed the leader of the education team, Boss Li.

Shortly after Jiang Cheng hung up with Yang Wenshu, he received a call from someone claiming to be Boss Li. Boss Li promised that this matter would be settled within two days, which delighted Jiang Cheng. After all, he could soon do what he truly desired. Meanwhile, he planned to sort out a few things in the coming days.

Jiang Cheng went directly to Tencent Company, found Old Ma and Old Zhang, and shared his plans with them. As expected, they reacted with expressions of great surprise. However, Old Zhang was understanding. The company was now on a stable path, and Jiang Cheng could handle significant matters as they arose. With Zhang Mengmeng around, technical challenges needn’t occupy Jiang Cheng. They could occasionally discuss the company’s direction.
