Shocking! The seemingly useless ex-wife is actually an all-around queen!

Chapter 56 Incompetent Fury!

Although Cheng Zijun said he was fine, Zhang Shuyi still said, "Brother Zijun, why don't you go to the lounge and rest for a while? I'll be fine here."

"Okay." Cheng Zijun nodded, raised his hand and tucked a stray hair behind Zhang Shuyi's ear. "Shuyi, thank you for your hard work."

Zhang Shuyi held Cheng Zijun's hands in both of hers, her voice gentle, "Brother Zijun, we're family now, it's too formal for you to say such things."

In the past, Cheng Zijun would definitely have said something more.

But today, he really wasn't in the mood to say another word.

His mind was filled with the question of why Jiang Ning hadn't come.

Cheng Zijun was in a hurry to get engaged to Zhang Shuyi in order to lure Jiang Ning to come and steal him away.

Who knows.

Jiang Ning completely ignored it!

What exactly is Jiang Ning trying to do?

No one knows how much Cheng Zijun is suffering right now!

"Then I'll go to the lounge first." Cheng Zijun pulled his hand away and walked towards the lounge.

Zhang Shuyi watched Cheng Zijun's retreating figure, her beautiful brows furrowing tightly.

She is not a fool.

I could tell that Cheng Zijun wasn't really in the mood tonight.

Especially when he put the engagement ring on her finger.

His gaze wasn't on her at all, but rather fixed on the direction of the doorway.

Whom is he expecting to come?

Zhang Shuyi narrowed her eyes and turned to look outside.

There was nothing unusual outside.

Just as Zhang Shuyi was about to look away, her pupils suddenly contracted.

I saw.

A tall, eye-catching figure was escorted out of the entrance of Building B.

Is that Jiang Ning?

Zhang Shuyi bit her lower lip lightly, a cold look appearing in her eyes. No wonder!

No wonder Cheng Zijun wasn't thinking about her tonight.

It turns out it's Jiang Ning!

That little bitch Jiang Ning has no shame! She's already divorced Cheng Zijun, but she's still haunting us and ruining our engagement party.

Shameless!

Mistress!

shameless.

Zhang Shuyi was so angry that her face turned pale and her whole body was trembling.

Wait!

She was determined to drive that little bitch Jiang Ning out of City A.

Zhang Shuyi clenched her fists so tightly that her sharp nails dug deep into her flesh, completely unaware of it.

Cheng Zijun arrived at the lounge.

He looked exhausted and had a terrible headache.

Dang Dang Dang.

A knock came at the door.

"Enter."

pat.

The door was pushed open from the outside.

The person who arrived was none other than Lin Yuze.

"Brother Zijun."

Cheng Zijun glanced at him but didn't say anything.

Lin Yuze then asked, "Are you alright?"

Cheng Zijun rubbed his temples. "Yuze, why don't you think Jiang Ning came tonight?"

"Perhaps she has already let go."

"Impossible!" Cheng Zijun grabbed the cup on the table and threw it hard on the ground. "She loves me so much, she won't give up so easily!"

Lin Yuze sighed softly, "Brother Zijun, face reality. Jiang Ning is no longer the Jiang Ning who used to have eyes only for you."

"Wasn't she trying to curry favor with Mr. and Mrs. Yue for my sake?" Cheng Zijun looked into Lin Yuze's eyes. "Otherwise, how do you explain Jiang Ning's appearance at the Yue family's banquet hall?"

Jiang Ning used to do everything for him.

He likes gray, and so does Jiang Ning.

She fawns over me every day, like a devoted follower, with no sense of self whatsoever.

Cheng Zijun tried to find the answer he wanted in Lin Yuze's eyes.

But Lin Yuze poured cold water on him, saying, "Yue Qianlan, the daughter of the Yue family, is about the same age as Jiang Ning. Just now, Yue Qianlan personally escorted Jiang Ning to the car. I suspect, I suspect that Jiang Ning and Yue Qianlan are good friends."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could Miss Yue possibly be friends with a peasant like Jiang Ning?" Cheng Zijun shouted angrily. "She only went to curry favor with Mr. and Mrs. Yue because of me!"

Lin Yuze glanced at Cheng Zijun but didn't say anything.

Day two.

Grandpa Jiang went to work as usual.

As soon as I arrived at the office and walked to the time clock to clock in, Zhang Lei came out and said, "Old Jiang! You don't need to clock in today."

No need to clock in?

Grandpa Jiang looked at his coworkers and asked, "Manager Zhang, are we getting the day off today?"

Have a holiday?

The workers nearby all had a gleam in their eyes when they heard this.

It's so hot outside!

Who wants to go to work?

Everyone wants to stay home and rest.

Hearing this, Zhang Lei found it amusing, looking down at Old Master Jiang with an air of superiority. "It's not a holiday, it's that you've been fired. Don't come in tomorrow. Go back to the countryside with your precious granddaughter! City A isn't a place for someone like you!"

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Jiang panicked immediately, his face turning deathly pale.

"Manager Zhang, did I do something wrong? Why was I fired for no reason?"

Zhang Lei glanced at him and said, "To be honest, you've offended someone you shouldn't have."

Ever since learning that Jiang Ning had ranked first in the high school entrance exam, Zhang Lei had wanted to expel Grandpa Jiang.

He wouldn't allow an old man's granddaughter to surpass his precious son, whom he had raised at great expense.

Unfortunately, his power was limited; he couldn't violate company rules and fire Mr. Jiang without a valid reason.

But it's different now.

Old Master Jiang has offended a powerful person!

He could openly and legitimately drive him away.

Moreover, from now on, no other cleaning company will hire Mr. Jiang.

Therefore, Grandpa Jiang had no choice but to take Jiang Ning and leave City A.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lei's face was full of smugness.

Did I offend someone important?

Grandpa Jiang was taken aback. He knew that it would be difficult to find a job because of his age, so he was very serious about his work and never dared to be careless, let alone offend any important people!

"Manager Zhang must have made a mistake. I've never argued with anyone in all my years of work."

At this point, Grandpa Jiang took a few steps toward Zhang Lei and said in an almost pleading tone, "Manager Zhang, you know my situation. Ningning is still in high school, and my family has no other income. If I am fired from the company now, I might not even be able to pay Ningning's tuition and living expenses for this semester."

"I can't lose this job. Please, could you please go to my supervisor and beg him not to fire me?"

Although Jiang Ning had advised Grandpa Jiang countless times to quit his job, saying that she now had a stable income and even gave him a bank card with a balance of 30 yuan.

However, Mr. Jiang never checked his bank card balance, so he was unaware that he had so much money in his account.

Besides, in Grandpa Jiang's eyes, Jiang Ning is just a child. Even if a child has a stable income, how much money can he earn in a month?

Therefore, this job is especially important to Grandpa Jiang.

The two coworkers next to Mr. Wen immediately chimed in, “Yes, Manager Zhang, there must be some misunderstanding. Old Jiang works so hard, and no one has ever complained about the area he cleans! Please help us report this to the higher-ups and ask them not to fire Old Jiang.”

Zhang Lei ignored the two coworkers who were speaking up for Grandpa Jiang, unscrewed the lid of his cup, took a sip of water, and looked at Grandpa Jiang. "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I really can't! You should take off your work clothes and leave. We've known each other for a while, it wouldn't be good if things got ugly."

Old Master Jiang stood there, saying, "Manager Zhang, please have pity on this old man."

He's already quite old, and with the unemployment rate so high these days, even young people can't find good jobs. If he gets laid off, he simply won't be able to find a good job.

Zhang Lei narrowed his eyes, as if he had thought of something, "Old Jiang, do you really want to stay?"

“Yes,” Grandpa Jiang nodded, “Manager Zhang, I’m willing to do anything as long as you let me stay.”

Seeing the determination in Grandpa Jiang's eyes, Zhang Lei smiled and sat down on a chair next to him, crossing his legs. "This morning when I was checking the lawn, I accidentally stepped in a pile of dog poop. Old Jiang! Since you want to stay and work here so much, then wipe all the dog poop off my shoes!"
