Chapter 453 Car accident
Even if the things that were taken away from the company could be sold, they wouldn’t be sold for much money.

Some electronic equipment, such as printers and computers, may be quickly disposed of in the second-hand market, but the shipping costs of tables, chairs and ornamental plants placed in the office will cost several percent, not to mention recovering them and selling them at a good price.

It’s more like venting anger than moving things away from the company for money.

It is just a helpless act of the poor office workers after being backstabbed by countless capitalists.

Now, someone is willing to provide a solution.

These struggling employees were naturally willing to cooperate actively, and many of them returned the things they had taken to the original owners at the request of their original work groups.

For a moment, the entire empty Meiruxue Company gradually began to return to its original appearance.

Of course, with no one supervising hygiene, the already dirty environment became even worse, and the smooth floor was so covered with countless footprints that its original color could no longer be recognized.

Jiang Yao thought she would be very tired, but not this tired. She gritted her teeth and persevered for the entire day without a single complaint.

It made my sister look at me with new eyes.

By evening, the gloomy sky became darker and the air was filled with a damp smell, giving a feeling that a storm was about to come.

“Take a break. My waist hurts a little.” Jiang Yao lay on the sofa and waved to her sister.

“Okay, you take a break and go home when you’re done.”

Seeing Yaoyao trying her best, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but feel distressed.

Jiang Yao has been pampered since she was a child, and her family was reluctant to let her do any heavy work. Today she had to help move things and count items, so she was busy all the time, and even had only a half-hour break at noon.

Jiang Ning could barely bear it, and originally she wanted Yaoyao to go home and wait.

But Yaoyao was unwilling and insisted on staying.

“Well, I see.”

She let out a lazy breath, adjusted her lying position, picked up her phone and started texting Chen Yuan.

……

It’s expected to rain.

Chen Yuan rushed to Linzhou without having time to eat in the morning. He attended meetings all day, dealt with all the small and big trivial matters that had accumulated recently, and handed over the work to Xiao Pei.

After sitting for several hours, my coccyx hurts a little.

In the evening, I hurried back to Mingzhu City from Linzhou. I didn’t enter the city but just reached the suburbs.

Looking at the sky that seemed to be wrapped in a layer of gray film, Chen Yuan sat steadily in the car and retracted his gaze.

“Drive slowly, I’m going to make a phone call,” he told the driver.

“understood.”

Chen Yuan called at noon, but Jiang Zhengfeng did not answer. Half an hour later, he sent a text message saying that he was in a very important meeting and would call back in the evening.

It’s evening now, so he must have been too busy to remember.

Chen Yuan had something to negotiate, so I could only call again.

As the call was connected, a familiar voice came from the other end.

“Dad,” Chen Yuan asked briefly and concisely, “Do you have time? Now.”

“We just finished a meeting,” a somewhat tired voice came, “Xiao Yuan, tell me what you want to say.”

“I have withdrawn the funds from the Bauhinia Company account. I have something important to do, so I’ll let you know in advance.”

There was a pause on the other end of the line.

“It’s just a small matter,” Jiang Zhengfeng said in a relaxed voice, “Since I’m handing this company over to you, you can naturally have full control over it. I have no objection even if you sell this company. Compared with the value of this company, I originally wanted you to have more contact with Uncle Mo’s daughter and Xiao Pei. Secondly, I wanted you to have a preliminary understanding of the rules of the business world and have some knowledge. These wealth cannot be measured by simple value.”

“Hmm…” Chen Yuan nodded, lowered his eyes, and said hesitantly: “I have something else to say, about my own affairs.”

“You speak.”

“I talked to you about the two friends of the Jiang family before. Now I have agreed to one of them. Let’s arrange the marriage first… Dad, do you think you should go to propose marriage, or should I let Dad Chen and Mom go?”

“Propose marriage?” Jiang Zhengfeng was a little surprised on the other end of the phone.

“Yes, she is older than me, and I feel embarrassed to drag her down, so I decided to arrange the marriage first to have peace of mind—”

However, before Chen Yuan could finish, Jiang Zhengfeng reminded him in a calm voice.

“Marriage is a major event in life. There are only two major events in a man’s life that he must be extremely careful about. One is career, and the other is marriage…Have you told your adoptive parents?”

“Not yet, but they met Jiang Ning and Jiang Yao when they came to Lanjing before, and they were very satisfied.” He replied.

What Chen Yuan implied was that his adoptive parents would most likely support him.

In fact, he just said that, and Chen Yuan was not sure whether he really supported it or not.

After all, he is too young to get engaged, and he is already studying.

From the parents’ point of view, it is indeed something worth considering.

Jiang Zhengfeng was silent for a while.

He spoke again: “Didn’t you say before that you would marry two? Why did you change your mind so quickly?”

“It’s not that I changed my mind, but things for two people don’t necessarily have to be handled together. It might be better to separate them more clearly.”

Hearing this, Jiang Zhengfeng did not ask again.

Instead, he said earnestly, “This is a serious matter. I need to discuss it with your adoptive parents. I also need to meet the girl and formally get to know her family… Engagement is not something you two kids can do on a whim. You are an adult now and have your own career. You should have your own considerations for everything.

But, Xiaoyuan, don’t blame your father for speaking harshly.

People will meet too many people in their lives. Maybe you think they are good and brilliant now, but when your mood changes in the future, you may feel that they are ordinary.

After all, young people think too superficially and think they can control the future, but in reality the future is unclear and there is no certainty.

By then, it will be too late for you to regret, right? I am not saying this to preach, but out of concern. “

After listening to his father’s long speech, Chen Yuan deliberately waited for a while before answering.

He didn’t want to come across as a hasty, thoughtless person.

“I’ve thought about it carefully and I won’t regret it.”

“Okay, Dad respects your idea. Let me communicate with your adoptive parents first and then contact you.”

……

beep…

After Chen Yuan hung up the phone, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Marriage is indeed not a matter for two people. No matter how capable or opinionated he is, he cannot accomplish it alone.

No matter how he behaves outside, when he is in front of his parents, they still treat him as a child.

Perhaps only after they are married and behave more properly, their family will feel that he is capable of standing on his own and they can let him do what he wants.

Anyway, he finally plucked up the courage to tell his family the news.

If this matter is settled, Jiang Yao will be his fiancée from now on…

After a relationship that lasted for more than a year, with this result, Chen Yuan can finally come to terms with his inner feelings and no longer has to suffer from all kinds of conflicting thoughts.

Under the gloomy sky, seeing that Chen Yuan had finished his call, the driver increased the speed a bit and soon drove into the city.

Ten minutes’ time.

Jiang Zhengfeng also replied with a message.

The message read: “I have informed your adoptive parents to set a time for a meeting next week. Bring the girl from the Jiang family with you to have dinner together.”

……

When they arrived in Mingzhu City, they learned that the two sisters had finished their work and were ready to go home. Chen Yuan’s fingers flew across the screen, typing to tell Jiang Yao that he had arrived as well. The three of them agreed to go to the Resource Planning Bureau first, hand over the sorted documents to the local director, cancel the commercial qualifications of Mei Ruxue Company, and then go to the supermarket together to buy some things to go home.

Chen Yuan planned to wait at the gate of the Planning Bureau, and then let the driver drive away, and he would act as the driver for Ningning and Yaoyao.

“Wait for me in the suburbs tomorrow. After you receive my call, pretend to go to the airport. If Jiang Ning and Jiang Yao ask about it, just say that I’m going to Linzhou. Don’t let it slip.”

“I see, Director Jiang, how should I tell you what time I’ll be back in the evening?”

“If I’m busy, I’ll be back in the evening. If I’m not busy, I’ll be back in the afternoon.”

On the way to the Planning Bureau, Chen Yuan carefully gave instructions to the driver.

He was hiding something from the two sisters. It was not some bad thing he was scheming against them, but Chen Yuan had found a way to visit his future mother-in-law in the detention center tomorrow, not as a relative, but in his public identity as Jiang.

In this way, no one party would know.

Chen Yuan had no way to explain to Ningning and Yaoyao.

Although Jiang Ruxue is the elder, Chen Yuan now knows a lot of past events, so naturally he can’t treat her with the same attitude as before. He is even more afraid that she will take advantage of her daughter’s status as a mother and give birth to some heresy.

Chen Yuan has figured out how to settle her down.

The most important thing is that Chen Yuan has spent so much energy to help her out this time. He wants to let her know that he helped her because of Jiang Ning and Jiang Yao. He hopes that after Jiang Ruxue is released, she will not make trouble again, stay at home quietly, and isolate herself from the business world from now on.

Another thing is marriage.

It would be best if he and Jiang Ning could get together in the future, but if not, it didn’t matter. They would still be a family anyway. The love affair between the three of them could not be hidden from Jiang Ruxue. With her personality, she could smell a lot of things.

It would be better for Chen Yuan to tell her proactively so that she wouldn’t have any other ideas and cause trouble.

He wanted Jiang Ruxue to know that the two sisters now had someone to rely on and could no longer allow themselves to be controlled by their mother as before.

……

A moment of leisure.

The car he was riding in drove smoothly to Donglingjiang Road and stopped at the traffic light at the intersection.

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, layer upon layer, and the whole city became dark. The running lights of vehicles on the road lit up one after another, shining brightly with the cross-green lights at the intersection.

The rain, as fine as cow hair, fell down, soaking the dark car body.

The wipers on the front windshield swing back and forth.

Chen Yuan originally wanted to look at the road ahead, but unexpectedly, he caught a glimpse of a dark red Porsche in front of the lane next to him.

He looked at it carefully for a while, and the corners of his lips curled up.

The two sisters were not driving fast, and he actually ran into them when they were still a few blocks away from the Planning Bureau.

“I see you.” He took out his cell phone and sent a message to Jiang Yao.

……

“Where? The young master said he saw us.”

At the intersection.

Jiang Yao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, took her eyes off her phone and looked around, trying to find the car Chen Yuan was sitting in among the parked cars.

Jiang Ning couldn’t help but check it out out of curiosity.

But it was pitch black, it was drizzling, and there were countless vehicles parked at the intersection, so it was not easy to see.

“I’ll see you when we get to the door and hand in the documents.”

“Too.”

Jiang Yao shrugged, looked a few more times, and then looked away.

……

Suddenly, the green light came on.

Suddenly, the cars parked at the intersection began to move, like the rising and falling tides, with traffic flowing in different directions.

As the tires rolled over dead leaves and flying stones on the road, mud and water splashed, the originally congested intersection suddenly became much smoother.

Chen Yuan’s car was following diagonally behind Jiang Ning’s car, not in the same lane. After passing the intersection, there were still many cars and he couldn’t get through. He just told the driver to drive slowly and follow behind.

At this moment, he thought about Ningning and Yaoyao taking him to worship his biological father, and he had a lot of thoughts.

Some time ago during the Qingming Festival, Jiang Ning returned to Mingzhu City and must have gone to the cemetery to sweep the graves. At that time, nothing had happened to the Jiang family, and he knew very little about the affairs of the two sisters’ families.

No wonder Ningning was unhappy after returning from Mingzhu City.

He was thinking.

Suddenly, without any warning, an old car came from behind, still turning on its glaring high beams in the rain, driving at a very fast speed. The driver in the front seat was dazed and subconsciously slowed down.

A brief half second.

Chen Yuan frowned and put his hand to cover the rearview mirror.

He didn’t even realize that the traffic light at the intersection was red after he came over, and he wondered why the other party followed him.

What’s even more exaggerated is that after passing the intersection, the car kept accelerating as if it was out of control, sprinting across two lanes, and the harsh “beep” sound of the horn continued to ring out.

One after another.

I believe that many drivers were cursing the out-of-control car while they were swerving their steering wheels to avoid the accident.

On a gray rainy day, the rapidly spinning tires of the car stirred up mud and water, and rushed forward desperately. After passing through Chen Yuan’s car, it was like an arrow shot from a bow. Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment.

He watched helplessly as the out-of-control car crashed into Jiang Ning’s dark red Porsche in front of him.

“drop—-“

The driver was also confused and honked the horn to give a warning.

Only half a second later.

A loud noise broke the silence of the night sky.

“boom!”

The air seemed to be filled with the unpleasant smell of burnt rubber. A deep tire mark appeared on the ground and the rain was still falling.

Chen Yuan just felt his entire brain “boom”.

He looked at everything in front of him in disbelief, and half madly pressed the door button next to him, stumbled out of the car, and rushed towards the Porsche in front that had knocked over the guardrail.

“Ningning! Yaoyao!!” Chen Yuan shouted while pulling at the dented car door.

The ground was littered with car wreckage, some of which had even spilled into the green belt.

Both cars have it.

As for the old Ford sedan, the front half of the body was still scrap metal, and the hood was raised high, emitting thick smoke within a few seconds of stopping.

The driver quickly got out of the car.

Many drivers of other cars also stopped.

“Help me open the car door!”

Chen Yuan roared as if his throat had risen, using all his strength to hold on to the car door. Veins popped out one by one due to excessive force, and along with his movements, there was a teeth-grinding “crunching” sound of metal collision from the car door.

For an instant.

It seemed as if the world was silent.

The next sound was a sirens whistling towards us.
