Chapter 41: Suppression?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Hua was taken aback. Was the old man trying to favor his granddaughter or suppress his grandson?

...

Lin Lin immediately spoke anxiously, “Dad, did Jun make a mistake at work? Are you planning to fire him now?”

“Grandpa, 1 understand you don’t like me, but you shouldn’t single me out like this, right?” Jiang Jun quickly retorted. “After all, I’m still your grandson, your own flesh and blood!”

Old Master Jiang glanced at Jiang Jun dispassionately. He replied, “Why? Do you make fewer mistakes?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jun felt a twinge of guilt. As the eldest grandson of the Jiang family, Jiang Jun enjoyed numerous privileges. If the investigation continued, Jiang Jun wouldn’t benefit in any way.

Reacting to Old Master Jiang’s words, Lin Lin intervened, saying, “Dad, it’s true that Jun hasn’t performed exceptionally well, but isn’t firing him directly a bit extreme?”

Jiang Hua, fearing the old man’s anger, chimed in, “Let’s not be unreasonable. If Dad has made this decision, he must have his reasons.”

Lin Lin rolled her eyes at Jiang Hua and argued, “What logic is that? Even the court needs evidence to pass judgment on ordinary people!”

Old Master Jiang’s expression turned dark. Did Lin Lin imply that he had no evidence and was demanding an explanation from Jiang Jun? Old Master Jiang spoke coldly, “Jiang Jun doesn’t deserve to hold a position in the company.” “How is Jun unfit for his position?” Lin Lin objected reluctantly.

Old Master Jiang retorted coldly, “Jiang Jun has been with the company for five years. His performance has consistently been at the bottom, yet his expenses always rank first. He even embezzled nearly 300 million yuan from public funds, which he has yet to return. I’ve shown you some leniency by not involving the police. Don’t you appreciate it?”

Lin Lin instantly felt a sense of fear upon hearing this. She had always known about Jiang Jun’s misuse of funds and believed he wouldn’t be discovered. However, she hadn’t anticipated that this old man would still uncover the truth. Awkwardly, she said, “Dad, if Jun doesn’t work, what else can he do?”

Old Master Jiang replied casually, “He’s almost 30 years old, not three!”

Reminded of Jiang Jun embezzling such a substantial sum, Lin Lin had no choice but to lower her head, even if she was dissatisfied.

Jiang Ling’er suddenly spoke up, “Grandpa, Jiang Jun has been with the company for five years. He must be well-acquainted with its operations. By firing him so abruptly, aren’t you afraid that he might sell the company’s important secrets to rival firms out of revenge?”

Jiang Jun glared fiercely at Jiang Ling’er and threatened, “Jiang Ling’er, shut up if you know what’s good for you. If you dare sow more discord, I’ll beat you up!” Old Master Jiang coldly observed Jiang Jun. He said, “Sow discord? Jiang Jun, do you not know why the Jiang Corporation failed to secure the land bidding in the Southern Suburbs last year? Because of a woman who used you, the company suffered significant losses. What right do you have to complain? Where did you find the audacity? Was it because of that girl by the surname Bai?”

Hearing this, Jiang Jun panicked instantly. Was this old man planning to bring up past grievances and punish him? “Grandpa, I…” Jiang Jun tried to explain.

Without giving Jiang Jun a chance to say anything, Old Master Jiang interjected, “You ungrateful brat. If it weren’t for our blood ties, do you think you’d dare behave arrogantly here? And yet you still want to bully Ling’er? Are you too comfortable with your life? I won’t say anything further. Go reflect on yourself at home.”

Jiang Jun dared not utter a word and could only nod. He felt deeply resentful, but he had no power to change the situation.

‘Reflect?’ Jiang Ling’er sneered inwardly. Jiang Jun was so proud of being used by Bai Xue.

If Jiang Jun refused to stop his reckless behavior, it would be more effective to send him straight to prison rather than expecting him to reflect on his actions and save face for the old man.

Old Master Jiang looked at Jiang Hua and inquired, “Jiang Hua, do you have anything else to say?”

“Dad,” Jiang Hua spoke up, “We should teach Jun a lesson. If we don’t handle this matter within the family, someone else will.”

Lin Lin tugged at Jiang Hua’s arm, hoping he would plead for Jiang Jun.

Jiang Hua glanced at Lin Lin and responded, “You betrayed the Jiang Corporation’s secrets and harmed your own sister. Do you think you don’t deserve to be disciplined?”

After a long pause, Lin Lin finally admitted, “Yes, but Jun has nothing to do if he doesn’t work. Maybe you can let him do odd jobs at your place.”

Upon hearing this, Old Master Jiang angrily slammed the coffee table. He exclaimed, “You truly have no shame.”

Lin Lin was shocked and quickly said, “Dad, please don’t be angry.”

“If you can’t distinguish right from wrong, 1’11 remove you from the Jiang family immediately!” Old Master Jiang declared..
