The next morning, Jiang Chen received a call from Tang Chuchu.

"Husband, I've contacted my high school classmate, and she's willing to help me. She even arranged a meeting with Ye Xiong, the chairman of Qianjun Group. Where are you? Let's go to Qianjun Group right now and secure the order. Then Grandpa will recognize you."

"Wait at home, I'll come and pick you up right away."

After hanging up, Jiang Chen quickly got up, washed up, and left the house.

"Brother Jiang, where are we going?"

Xiaohei was already waiting by the car.

"To Chuchu's place."

"Brother Jiang, get in the car."

Jiang Chen got into the unlicensed business car, and Xiaohei drove quickly to Tang Chuchu's place.

He waited outside her neighborhood.

Soon, Tang Chuchu came out.

Today, they were going to meet the chairman of Qianjun Group, so she dressed up carefully, wearing a beautiful, figure-hugging dress. Her long black hair cascaded over her shoulders, exuding a lively charm.

"Husband."

She saw Jiang Chen standing by the black business car from a distance and quickly ran over, a joyful expression on her face. "My classmate really gave me face and has already arranged the meeting. We can go straight to Qianjun Group."

Jiang Chen smiled faintly.

What classmate? Without his greeting to Ye Xiong, how would Ye Xiong receive Tang Chuchu?

But seeing Tang Chuchu's excitement, he didn't want to disappoint her and praised her, "I knew my wife was amazing. This time, it's all up to you. If we don't get the order, I'll be kicked out."

Tang Chuchu's lips curved into a beautiful smile. "Don't worry, I won't let you be kicked out."

She didn't know Jiang Chen's identity, but she had been to his villa.

It was the most luxurious imperial residence in Jiang, worth a fortune. The person who could live in such a villa couldn't be an ordinary person.

She felt that she must have done good deeds in her past life to meet such a good man.

In front of Jiang Chen, she had to perform well.

She wanted Jiang Chen to know that she was no longer the old Tang Chuchu. Although she had been looked down upon these years, she hadn't wasted her time and had learned a lot.

"Husband, get in the car."

Tang Chuchu got into the car.

After getting in, Jiang Chen instructed, "Xiaohei, go to Qianjun Group."

Tang Chuchu leaned against Jiang Chen's chest, thinking about what happened last night. She couldn't help but ask, "Husband, do you know what happened last night? The patriarch of the Xiao family, the leading family among the four major families in Jiang, Xiao Biehe, was killed."

The Xiao family, the leading family among the four major families in Jiang.

Xiao Biehe, the leader of the Xiao family, was one of the most influential figures in Jiang.

Last night's Xiao family banquet.

First, it was to celebrate the signing of a permanent agreement between the Longteng Group, under the Xiao family, and Qianjun Group. This meant that Qianjun Group's orders would prioritize Longteng, which would further strengthen the Xiao family's power.

Yesterday was also Xiao Biehe's 80th birthday.

However, a mysterious person broke in, brought a coffin, killed Xiao Biehe, and took his head. This news spread throughout Jiang overnight, causing a huge uproar.

Now, the relevant authorities were investigating, but there was no progress.

Tang Chuchu asked about this, and Jiang Chen pretended to be surprised, saying, "I went to sleep as soon as I got home last night and didn't know what happened. Is it the Xiao family, one of the four major families in Jiang?"

"Yes," Tang Chuchu replied. "The Xiao family is the leading family among the four major families in Jiang. They have countless businesses, and just the Longteng Group alone is many times stronger than all the Tang family's businesses combined. The Xiao family has many other businesses as well."

Tang Chuchu's face showed a hint of envy. "All the women in Jiang dream of marrying into the Xiao family and becoming a wealthy lady."

Jiang Chen smiled faintly. "Didn't you have a chance yesterday? If you divorced me, you could have married into a wealthy family."

"Tsk."

Tang Chuchu looked disdainful. "What's so good about a wealthy family? In the past ten years, I've seen too much coldness and ridicule. In their eyes, I'm just a laughingstock. I know who treats me well, and I don't want to marry into a wealthy family. Besides, my husband is already from a wealthy family."

As she spoke, she smiled, her face filled with happiness.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but hold Tang Chuchu's hand tightly.

This woman was quite rational.

Xiaohei, who was driving, didn't say a word and silently drove to the Qianjun Group building.

Qianjun Group, a property of the Ye family in the capital, is an international group.

Qianjun's headquarters is a grand eight-story building.

Jiang Chen and Tang Chuchu got out of the car.

Tang Chuchu looked up at the eight-story building, her face showing a hint of bewilderment.

In the past ten years, she rarely went out.

But she had a strong desire to explore the outside world. She studied at home, hoping to one day break free from her cage and soar in a higher sky.

She took out her phone and called her high school classmate.

About twenty minutes later, a woman in heavy makeup and a business skirt walked over. Seeing Tang Chuchu standing at the entrance, her face showed a hint of surprise.

Yesterday, Tang Chuchu told her that she had recovered her beauty and sent her a photo, but she didn't believe it. Now, seeing her, she realized it was true.

Seeing the beautiful Tang Chuchu, she felt a hint of envy.

She walked over and asked uncertainly, "Is it Chuchu?"

Tang Chuchu walked over excitedly, holding the woman's hand and said, "Jiajia, it's me. I never thought you'd be so successful, already a department manager at Qianjun Group."

Wu Jiajia's vanity was greatly satisfied, and she smiled. "Just making a living, Chuchu. To meet the chairman, we need the general manager's authorization. Let's go."

"Ah?"

Tang Chuchu was taken aback.

Yesterday, when they chatted on WeChat, Wu Jiajia said she had already arranged a meeting with the chairman of Qianjun, Ye Xiong.

"Chuchu, you need to know that Qianjun's orders aren't easy to get. To get the order, you need to... " She leaned close to Tang Chuchu and whispered something in her ear.

Hearing this, Tang Chuchu firmly refused, "No way."

Wu Jiajia also turned cold, saying impatiently, "Chuchu, how can you get something without giving something? I've already sent your photo to the manager. He said it's fine, just spend a night with him, and he'll approve the order without seeing the chairman."

"Jiajia, I consider you a friend. What do you consider me?"

Wu Jiajia said disdainfully, "Wanting something without giving anything? I'm telling you, it's impossible. I've said my piece. Think about it and let me know."

With that, she turned and walked away, her high heels clicking on the ground.

Tang Chuchu was almost in tears, turning to look at Jiang Chen, who had been silent behind her. "Am I really useless?"

Jiang Chen comforted her, "How can you be useless? My wife is amazing. Just go and find Ye Xiong; he'll definitely see you. Go, I'll wait in the car."

Jiang Chen pushed Tang Chuchu toward the Qianjun building.

However, at this moment, Wu Jiajia, who had left, returned with a middle-aged man.

The man was dressed in a suit and tie, looking like a successful person.

Wu Jiajia intimately held his arm and came back to Tang Chuchu, smiling. "Chuchu, this is the manager of Qianjun Group, responsible for contacting other companies. Whether to give an order to a company is entirely up to Manager Chen."

Wu Jiajia's rapid rise was all because she had attached herself to Manager Chen.

She became his mistress and climbed to a department manager.

Last night, she sent Tang Chuchu's photo to Chen Lin.

Chen Lin was immediately attracted and promised that if Wu Jiajia could help him get Tang Chuchu into bed, he wouldn't let her down. The next time a deputy manager position was open, he would vote for her.

Seeing Tang Chuchu, Chen Lin was even more attracted.

Tang Chuchu was even more beautiful and charming in person than in the photo.

At that moment, he swore to get this exquisite beauty.

He walked over, looking at Tang Chuchu with his head held high and said, "Tang Chuchu, right? Jiajia has told me about you. It's so hot today. Why don't we go to a hotel and talk in a room? Don't worry, with me, not just a 30 million order, even a 50 million order, I can give you."
