Chapter 1114: Chapter 1113: The Past of Chen Jiakang (Owing 3/18 Updates)
"You realize your mistake?" Yun Hanrui pouted.
Ling Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Lady, your husband knows heās wrong!"
Yun Hanruiās face flushed, then she placed her long, slender, fair leg on Ling Fengās lap, "If you know youāre wrong, give me a leg massage. After sitting on the plane all day, Iām exhausted!"
Ling Feng gently placed his hands on Yun Hanruiās leg, massaging as he asked, "Xiao Rui, Iām quite curious about this Chen Jiakang. Could you tell me about him?"
Yun Hanrui tilted her head, "Why are you suddenly interested in Director Chen Jiakang?"
"Donāt you think heās a very capable person?" Ling Feng laughed, "Arenāt you worried someone might poach your reliable man in America?"
Yun Hanrui giggled, "Relax, no one can poach him away!"
"Why?" Ling Feng asked curiously.
Yun Hanrui explained, "Itās a long story, but let me tell you slowly!"
"Then make the long story short!"
Yun Hanrui looked at Ling Feng discontentedly, "You naughty guy, why do I feel like youāre more interested in Chen Jiakang now than in having a beauty like me in front of you... Boo hoo hoo, Iām upset!"
Ling Feng looked at Yun Hanrui pretending to cry, amused and helpless, "What are you talking about! Iām just curious about this person, thatās all! If you donāt say..."
Yun Hanrui huffed, "Alright, alright, Iāll tell you, okay?"
"Chen Jiakang graduated from Harvard Business School and was a prominent figure at school. When he graduated, a dozen of the worldās top 500 companies sought him out, and he eventually joined a biopharmaceutical company. Due to his exceptional abilities, he quickly rose within two years to become a project leader."
"However, due to his wife, he had a conflict with an executive at a corporate annual meeting! Later, during a company investigation, his project was found to have significant risks, and there were significant financial losses. It was evident that the executive whom he had clashed with sabotaged things! Soon, he was dismissed. Since there were significant shenanigans involved, the company didnāt pursue legal action against him, but in the American business circle, Chen Jiakangās reputation was completely ruined!"
Yun Hanrui continued, "At that time, Chen Jiakangās wife was worn out mentally and physically from years of hard work. As the saying goes, illness strikes like a mountain, and at a low point in his life, no company in America was willing to hire him. Despondent, he intended to return to the country when I found him."
Yun Hanrui said with a hint of pride, "I paid for his wifeās treatment and invited him to oversee the establishment of the Chaoyang Groupās American division, which is why heās been tirelessly helping me!"
Ling Feng was a bit moved upon hearing this, "So thatās what happened, Chen Jiakang already has a wife."
"Of course!" Yun Hanrui said, "Moreover, his wife and he are childhood sweethearts! Back then, Chen Jiakangās family was poor, and it was his wife who gave up a well-paying job in the country to follow him to America. While in America, she worked hard to earn money for his tuition while accompanying him! Once Chen Jiakang graduated and started working, he immediately married her."
"He has a deep affection for his wife. If I hadnāt saved his wife, he might not have agreed to establish the American division for me!" Yun Hanrui said, "After all, back then, Chaoyang Group wasnāt as powerful as it is now! To Americans, Chaoyang Group was just a bumpkin!"
Ling Feng couldnāt help but feel great respect, not only for Chen Jiakangās wife but also for Chen Jiakang himself! One was hard-working and selfless, and the other was grateful and loyal through thick and thin!
And at that moment, Ling Feng seemed to understand that Chen Jiakangās ambition might stem from his unyielding heart! He might see the Chaoyang Group as a weapon to seek justice for the grievances and humiliation he suffered!
Even so, Ling Feng felt no objection! He admired the ambition in a manās eyes, as long as that ambition was just and could be controlled by him.
"Oh, itās already this time!" Yun Hanrui checked her phone and couldnāt help but chide, "Ling Feng, itās all your fault, get up quickly; if you keep dawdling, Iāll be late."
