Chapter 37: Chen Jia Was Beaten Up Again
Old Master Chen had a myriad of thoughts in his mind, and then he said stiffly, “We don’t have any other intentions. We just want the two of you to work together and get this big project.”
There was a moment of silence on the other side. Old Master Chen made the decision and said, “We’ll do as you say and let Chen Jia be your assistant. You should take care of him more about this cooperation and let him accumulate some experience.”
In other words, Chen Jia must be involved in this collaboration!
Pei Mingchen agreed and hung up the phone. Chen Jia was about to reject when Old Master Chen glared back at him.
His eldest grandson had been spoiled by his family since he was young. Chen Jia did not understand the seriousness of the matter at all.
The company that took the initiative to propose this collaboration this time had extraordinary capabilities.
.
The one who could get this collaboration would be able to establish his position in the Chen Group.
That was why Old Master Chen had arranged for Chen Jia to join and be the leader while Pei Mingchen would be the assistant.
However, he did not expect Pei Mingchen to refuse.
Although Pei Mingchen said that the other company was only willing to connect with him, Old Master Chen did not believe him.
After dinner, Bai Jin thoroughly dissected the collaboration for Chen Jia.
Bai Jin solemnly told Chen Jia that if Pei Mingchen really won the project on his own, the shareholders’ meeting would focus on Pei Mingchen. At that time, Pei Mingchen could very likely rely on the support of the shareholders to have the strength to contend with Chen Jia.
Chen Jia was so scared that he immediately forgot about his pride and joined Pei Mingchen’s project as soon as possible. It was rare for him to be a second-in-command.
However, every day, all Chen Jia could do was either sort out the information or edit the proposal. Every time he edited the proposal, Pei Mingchen would criticize it to the point where the proposal sounded worthless.
Pei Mingchen deliberately ignored Chen Jia three or two times, causing Chen Jia’s temper to flare up.
Chen Jia swung his hand and threw the revised document onto Pei Mingchen’s desk.
His tone was unfriendly. “What are you so arrogant for? I let you run wild for a few days for a project and you already think that you’re the boss of the Chen Group?”
Chen Jia’s gaze landed on Pei Mingchen’s office, which was so small that it could not even compare to his own office. He sneered.
“Even if you manage to negotiate a collaboration, you won’t be able to get what you want. You’re just a lowly illegitimate child, yet you still dare to dream of fighting with me over something that doesn’t belong to you.”
When Pei Mingchen heard the words ‘illegitimate child’, his emotions slightly fluctuated. However, this was not the first time he had heard Chen Jia say this.
Pei Mingchen restrained his emotions.
When Chen Jia saw that Pei Mingchen was very calm, he became even angrier. He suddenly shouted angrily.
“You still dare to play with me? If you are so capable, why don’t you die together with your mother who loves to be a mistress? You have the identity of the illegitimate child, yet you still have the guts to move into the Chen residence and enter the Chen Group. You are really as disgusting as that shameless mother of yours, the same… Ah!”
A folder was thrown at Chen Jia’s face, slapping him.
Immediately after, Pei Mingchen grabbed his collar, and fists that were as hard as hammers kept landing on his face.
They landed on Chen Jia’s face, again and again, each time with great force…
Until Pei Mingchen’s rationality returned, Chen Jia’s face was covered in blood, and his eyes were swollen and bruised.
Chen Jia tried his best to open his eyes. What entered his sight was Pei Mingchen’s fiery red eyes, which were terrifying.
Chen Jia sat on the ground in fear and kept retreating until his back was against the wall.
He looked at Pei Mingchen in fear. “Don’t come over, don’t come over!”
As he said that, he opened his mouth and a bloody tooth fell out.
Chen Jia was extremely terrified. After confirming that it was a posterior molar, his heart instantly relaxed.
Pei Mingchen noticed the rustling sounds outside the office. He restrained himself and closed his eyes, letting out a heavy breath.
Then, Pei Mingchen said in a heavy tone, “No matter how much you dislike me, I’m still more capable than you. The Chen family has given you a good stepping stone, but you don’t know how to use it. In the competition in the business world, it’s either you die or I live. Since you don’t like me, then use your own capabilities to crush me if you can.”
“Otherwise, I will crush you ruthlessly!”
Chen Jia’s heart trembled when he heard the fierce words. Not only did they break out in cold sweat, but his scalp even went numb.
Pei Mingchen was challenging him. How could he dare?
How could he, an illegitimate son, dare?!
Although Chen Jia really wanted to stand up and use vicious words to attack Pei Mingchen again, Chen Jia was subconsciously afraid of Pei Mingchen.
He was so afraid that he did not dare to look Pei Mingchen in the eye.
There was a strange silence in the office. Pei Mingchen raised his hand and pointed at the office door. He said coldly, “Get out.”
Chen Jia could not wait to leave this place. He did not care whether there would be anyone outside the door. He stood up abruptly and rushed out.
Her disheveled appearance attracted the exclamations of the people outside. Chen Jia was so embarrassed and angry that he wanted to fire all these people who saw his disheveled appearance.
Chen Jia was so ashamed and angry that he did not have time to go to the hospital to deal with it. He just drove back to the Chen residence.
As soon as he entered the house, the butler’s exclamations alarmed everyone in the Chen family.
Bai Jin was in the living room. When he saw the blood all over Chen Jia’s face, she covered her mouth and stood rooted to the ground in shock.
When Chen Jia walked up to her, he asked, “Where’s grandpa? I want to meet grandpa!”
Only then did Bai Jin come back to her senses. She held her hands in the air helplessly. “Son, what happened to you? Did you offend some powerful person?”
When Chen Jia reached home, he became much more stubborn. He impatiently explained the reason to Bai Jin and made a fuss about wanting to see Old Master Chen.
Bai Jin quickly said, “What exactly happened? It’s the same if you tell Mom. Your grandfather was out and not at home. What exactly happened to you?”
Hearing that Old Master Chen was not at home, Chen Jia picked up the vase on the coffee table unwillingly and was about to throw it away.
Bai Jin quickly held the vase with his hands and shouted, “Your grandfather bought this at a high price. If you smash it, your grandfather will hit you!”
Chen Jia had nowhere to vent his emotions, so he was pushed back to his throat. He kicked the sofa angrily and unwillingly.
The pain in his feet made his face look twisted.
Seeing this, Bai Jin felt her heart ache, but she did not know what to do.
Bai Jin remembered that Chen Desheng was resting at home, so she quickly went upstairs and called Chen Desheng over.
When Chen Desheng saw Chen Jia’s appearance, he was also shocked. “Who… who hit him?!”
Chen Jia said unhappily, “What else could it be? That illegitimate child of yours wants to beat me to death!”
When he heard this, Chen Desheng was subconsciously stunned. Then, he asked, “Are you sure that you didn’t provoke him and that’s why he hit you?”
“Dad!”
Chen Jia shouted angrily. Bai Jin, who was beside him, was also very dissatisfied with her husband’s words.
Bai Jin looked at his son’s face with heartache. It was bruised and swollen. She was afraid that he would not be able to go out and see anyone for some time.
She did not know if that little b*stard did it on purpose so that he could take all the credit for the project alone.
What a troublesome person!
“Hubby, our son must have been disobedient and made Mingchen angry. We can’t blame Mingchen just because of what our son said. Otherwise, that child will have a grudge in his heart.”
Chen Jia widened his eyes and looked at his mother in disbelief.
