Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law
Chapter 1504: Will the Veteran Driver Crash?
Jiang Feng accompanied Lin Chuxue, casually finding a high-end restaurant in the Provincial City to enjoy a lavish lunch, and then located a place that specializes in making fake certificates to get a fake marriage certificate.
When the entire process was completed and the paperwork was done, Lin Chuxue took back the two marriage certificates. As she sat back in the car, looking at the photo of Jiang Feng on the certificate with his meticulous, serious expression, she lightly hummed, "You, guy, you say I’m not into this act deep enough. Look at yourself—there’s not even a hint of a smile in your photo, as if you don’t want to ’marry’ me."
Jiang Feng indeed somewhat underperformed.
Because at the time of taking the photo, his mind drifted off!
He always felt guilty towards Nangong Qingcheng for getting registered with another woman...
Even though he knew it was fake, when the actual moment arrived and their photos were printed on the certificate, he still felt a bit guilty.
"It’s just fake, why be so serious?" Jiang Feng anxiously chuckled.
"Hey! That’s not what you said at home before!"
Lin Chuxue’s mood soured when she heard him, directly reaching out to press on Jiang Feng’s thigh, and leaning her whole body over, glaring at Jiang Feng, "Didn’t you say you were experienced and wouldn’t mess it up? Why this attitude now?! Let me tell you, from now on, you are my husband, at least until we come back from visiting my parents! You can’t let your mind wander and must treat me as your real woman!"
At this time, the air conditioning in the car hadn’t cooled down yet, adding to the heat. With Lin Chuxue leaning over with her alluring, fragrant charm, and her hand on his thigh in an ambiguous posture, Jiang Feng truly couldn’t handle it.
He loosened his collar, fanned himself grandly, and said calmly, "Got it, do I need your reminder? When has a veteran driver ever flipped over?"
"Tch~ Hope you’re not just all talk." Lin Chuxue remarked earnestly, before sitting back again, her jade foot pressing the accelerator to start the car, formally heading to her parents’ house.
It was only while sitting in the car that Jiang Feng learned Lin Chuxue’s parents didn’t live in Jiangdong, but in the neighboring province Jiangzhong.
She herself was originally from Jiangzhong, only joining L’Oreal cosmetics company after graduating.
Due to her outstanding skills and exceptional professional quality, she quickly made her mark in the brand and was promoted to L’Oreal’s North China district representative.
And because L’Oreal’s North China headquarters is in the Jiangdong Provincial City, she had to settle there.
Truth be told, it wasn’t easy for a woman without any background to reach this level.
After hearing her experiences and stories, Jiang Feng was even more willing to help her.
"With such excellence, why did your company experience a financial breakdown? Making you put all your savings in and still not filling the gap?"
Jiang Feng, sitting in the passenger seat, asked curiously while resting his hands.
"Because a malicious incident happened in the company recently." Lin Chuxue said sadly, "To be exact, a scandal! Even implicating me."
"Give me the details, won’t you?" Since it was boring on the road, Jiang Feng casually asked.
"One of my company’s vice presidents engaged in embezzlement, bribery, and exploited his power for personal gain, conducting illicit transactions discovered by his wife."
Lin Chuxue felt embarrassed mentioning such things but continued flatly, "His wife reported him, dragging the company into it too! Upon investigation by the concerned department, it was uncovered that during his tenure, he committed tax evasion, nepotism, causing severe impact, which led many of our business partners to halt cooperation. Consequently, our capital chain disconnected."
"Even the bank doubted our credibility and refused to provide loans. Otherwise, why would I have to consider turning to my parents?" She glanced at Jiang Feng.
"To put it this way, you too bear some irrefutable responsibility." Jiang Feng frowned, "You actually employed such a person?"
"He wasn’t hired by me, but appointed by the general group!"
Lin Chuxue said helplessly, "However, I am indeed accountable too. He was doing shady tricks right under my nose, and I didn’t realize! It wasn’t until he started keeping his secretary, prompting his wife’s report, that brought all these issues to the surface. But it’s not important anymore, he’s already been dismissed from the company. What I’m considering now is how to help the company through the crisis and restore credibility."
"How large is the financial gap? How much money is needed in total?" Jiang Feng asked casually.
"Approximately a bit over ten million, though it’s not extremely large, just difficult to rotate funds momentarily." Lin Chuxue replied.
"How much can your parents give you?" Jiang Feng became curious again. Could her family in Jiangzhong be affluent?
"Three to four million at most."
Lin Chuxue’s words dispelled Jiang Feng’s assumption, "My family in Jiangzhong can only be considered middle class, my parents are civil servants. Over the years, they have accumulated some savings, but they think I’m already successful in my career and should consider settling down. They’ve been dreaming of holding a grandson soon, thus pressing on my marriage matters eagerly and constantly urging me."
"Three to four million? That’s still far from over ten million, can this relieve the urgent situation?"
"No choice, I’ll use it first! Now, even small mosquito legs are meat to me, moreover this can solve one-third of it at least, easing the capital chain slightly. With the company’s operation, if I personally seek help from certain people, it should be manageable." Lin Chuxue seemed confident.
Jiang Feng didn’t say anything further.
At this moment, he actually decided that once back in Jiangdong, he would talk to Wu Feng about providing some money to help Lin Chuxue resolve the crisis.
He wasn’t concerned about money but about people, and Lin Chuxue’s character deserved his trust and assistance!
"You know my situation too, with this unique condition of mine... Forget about a partner, before meeting you, I even detested being close to the opposite sex, how could I fulfill my parents’ wishes? So I’ve been avoiding this topic, even staying away from home for a long time fearing their probing..."
Upon saying this, Lin Chuxue’s smooth and tender face flushed red again.
Deep down, she truly appreciated Jiang Feng.
The heavens closed a door for her and at least opened a window, assuring her life wouldn’t remain hopeless.
And Jiang Feng was that hope, appearing unexpectedly in her life to lead her out of darkness.
Just for this, even if Jiang Feng ever demanded anything excessive, she wouldn’t refuse. Fortunately, Jiang Feng has always been verbally expressive, mostly just getting handsy without genuinely revealing any possessive intentions toward her.
"You indeed have it tough, some people seem infinitely glamorous outwardly, but the hidden hardships aren’t known by many." Jiang Feng expressed sentimentally.
Lin Chuxue’s beautiful eyes swept over him as she chuckled, "Now you’ve become my confidant. To return to the point, how about you? Besides knowing you’re a wolf, sleaze, closet pervert, and psycho, what kind of person are you? Can you honestly tell me?!"
