Abstinence Pei, don't be too sweet when chasing your wife

Chapter 283 Issuing a military order

Jiang Chengjun was ruthlessly rejected by Gu Fanxing, and staggered down the steps of Gu's villa. The afternoon sun was a bit dazzling, but he could not feel any warmth at all, and his heart was full of anger and resentment of being betrayed.

As soon as he got into the car, the long-accumulated anger instantly overwhelmed him.

His chest heaved violently, his eyes were bloodshot, and his hands seemed out of control, slamming hard on the steering wheel. The horn sounded sharply, which was particularly harsh in the quiet villa area, startling several birds perched on the branches.

"How dare this woman do this to me!" His roar echoed in the small carriage, veins bulged on his neck, and his face turned purple with anger, as if he was about to explode in the next second.

The memory uncontrollably went back to the past. Gu Fanxing at that time was so naive and gullible.

As long as he uses a little sweet talk, she will be obedient.

Once, when the company was facing a cooperation crisis, he just pretended to be deep and confided in Gu Fanxing, and she used her connections without hesitation to help him solve the problem.

Another time, when he wanted to get an important project, Gu Fanxing took the trouble to ask her father for help, which eventually led to his great victory in the business world.

In those days, Gu Fanxing was like a puppet in his hands, allowing him to control her, and he got used to the feeling of being in control of everything.

But now, Gu Fanxing actually resisted.

The more Jiang Chengjun thought about it, the angrier he got. His fists clenched tighter and tighter, his knuckles turned white, and his arms trembled slightly.

He stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and the car rushed out like a wild horse. The roar of the engine vented his anger.

The vehicles on the road tried to avoid him, but he ignored them. The scene of Gu Fanxing rejecting him kept replaying in his mind. Every time he thought about it, it was like pouring a bucket of fuel on his anger.

"I've given so much for her, how dare she do this to me? She's just a pawn in my hands, how dare she go against my will!" He kept cursing in his heart. Gu Fanxing's resistance shattered his dignity. He couldn't understand how the woman who once obeyed him dared to ruin his plans.

But before long, anger was gradually replaced by panic.

Jiang Chengjun leaned over the steering wheel, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead, wetting the steering wheel.

With trembling hands, he took out his cell phone and looked at the series of missed calls from the company on the screen. His heartbeat suddenly quickened, his breathing became rapid, and his chest heaved violently, as if he had just finished a marathon.

He didn't dare call back. He was afraid to hear that something fatal had happened to the company again and to face an irreparable defeat.

He opened the financial news with trembling hands, and saw the news that Jiang Group's stock price had plummeted again. His hands shook and the phone almost slipped.

Partners kept calling him one after another. He looked at those familiar numbers but didn't have the courage to answer them. He knew that there would only be ruthless accusations and ultimatums to terminate the contract from the other end of the line.

Because the company could not get clarification from Gu Fanxing, its reputation plummeted. Partners who had previously barely maintained a cooperative relationship with him withdrew their investments one after another. Even several major shareholders who had always supported him began to waver and lost confidence in him.

Jiang Chengjun's eyes were empty and confused. He looked at the busy streets outside the car window, but ignored them.

Debt collection calls from the bank also began to come in continuously, and the company's capital chain was in jeopardy and could break at any time.

He had borrowed money from everywhere to save his company, and now the debt was snowballing, making it hard for him to breathe.

The faces of those creditors appeared in his mind one by one. Their fierce eyes and sharp words made him shudder.

He tried to calm himself down and think of a way to deal with the situation, but his mind was in a mess, with all his thoughts tangled together and he couldn't make any sense of it.

He recalled the time when he was high-spirited in the company, when every decision he made brought rich rewards and every appearance he made won everyone's favor.

And now, he felt like a traveler who was lost in the darkness, surrounded by an endless abyss and could fall at any time.

He thought about looking for Gu Fanxing again, using threats and inducements, but he knew in his heart that Gu Fanxing was determined to leave him this time.

He also thought about asking other friends for help, but he understood that in the reality of the business world, no one would lend a helping hand when he was down, and would only add insult to injury.

Even the subordinates who once flattered him no longer had a flattering smile on their faces, and they ignored him and treated him as air.

He rushed out of the car angrily and roared at the empty street, but the only response he got was the whistling wind.

His body was shaky, like a dead leaf about to fall in the wind.

He could never have imagined that he would fall from a high-ranking president to a loser with nothing, and all this was due to his selfishness and greed, as well as Gu Fanxing's unexpected resistance.

Just when he thought his life had hit rock bottom, fate gave him a glimmer of false hope.

A mysterious investor contacted him and expressed his willingness to provide him with funds to help him make a comeback, but the prerequisite was that he had to use his only remaining shares in Jiang Group as collateral and carry out a series of high-risk business operations in accordance with the investor's requirements.

Jiang Chengjun was so overwhelmed with despair at this time that he had no time to think about the risks. He agreed without hesitation, as if he had grabbed the last straw.

When following the instructions of the mysterious investor and conducting the first round of high-risk investment, everything seemed to be moving in the right direction. The investment began to bear fruit and funds began to flow back. Jiang Chengjun's tense nerves relaxed a little and the flame of hope rekindled in his heart. He thought that as long as he held on a little longer, he would be able to return to the top.

However, the good times did not last long. The market changed suddenly and subsequent investment projects failed one after another. The invested funds were lost and the shares he mortgaged were also in jeopardy.

At the same time, his mortal enemy Chen Hui, who had been secretly competing with him within the company, saw that he had fallen to such a state, and began to add insult to injury and criticize him.

Chen Hui used the company's internal communication channels to publicize Jiang Chengjun's failed decisions and moral stains, exaggerated his previous business mistakes, and linked his cheating to the company's decline, implying that it was his character issues that led to the company's demise.

At the industry forum, Chen Hui also published a long article, completely denying Jiang Chengjun's business ability from a professional perspective, and called on people in the industry not to cooperate with him anymore, so that he would completely lose the opportunity to gain a foothold in the industry.

When the company was in trouble both internally and externally, Grandpa Jiang also learned about this.

The old man called Jiang Chengjun home. His usually kind face was now covered with frost, and his eyes were full of disappointment and anger.

"You idiot, look at what you have done! You have ruined the company into this state. Are you worthy of the ancestors of the Jiang family?" Grandpa Jiang's voice trembled, and his crutches hit the ground heavily. "I have always believed that you have the ability to support the Jiang Group, but because of your own selfish desires, you dragged the company into the abyss."

Jiang Chengjun lowered his head, not daring to look his grandfather in the eye. He stammered and tried to explain, but didn't know what to say.

"You must give the company an explanation!" Grandpa Jiang paused, his tone firm and resolute, "I'll give you one more chance and sign a military order. If you can't solve the company's crisis and restore its reputation within a month, you must resign and stop dragging down the Jiang Group!"

Jiang Chengjun took the military order with trembling hands and signed his name reluctantly.

He knew that this was his last chance and also the heaviest pressure. The road ahead was still shrouded in thick haze and he didn't know where to find hope.
