Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 1359: Chapter 1358: Umbrella

Right now his company isn’t really short on people in general, it’s this kind of research-type staff that they seriously lack. Even though he can pull out some very advanced technology anytime he wants, a company this big can’t just rely on him alone. After getting to know Zhang Mengmeng these past few days, Jiang Cheng started having ideas. "Come on, Wu City really has tons of great food! If you don’t believe me, ask Qing Guang!" As soon as Jiang Cheng finished, Zhang Mengmeng turned to look at Shen Qingguang.

Naturely, Shen Qingguang was standing on Jiang Cheng’s side. He nodded, swallowed the roast duck in his mouth, then slowly opened his mouth and drawled, "It’s nothing much, just some snacks, like marinated dry tofu, squirrel fish, plum blossom cake, watermelon chicken, beggar’s chicken, biluo shrimp, book mutton, honey-glazed ham..."

"Okay, stop! I’m sold! Let’s go eat right now!" Zhang Mengmeng said, standing up.

"Whoa, auntie, hold up, I haven’t finished arranging my stuff yet!" "Then when are you going to finish arranging? I can’t hold back anymore!" Zhang Mengmeng asked eagerly.

"One day, give me one day to sort things out, and we’ll go back the day after tomorrow!" Jiang Cheng said. He’d been wanting to return to Wu City anyway; things in Yanbang were pretty much wrapped up. Tomorrow he’d just need to line up some technical matters and then he could leave.

"Then I’ll give you that one day," Zhang Mengmeng said, sitting back down and taking a bite of the roast duck in front of her.

Two days later, at the entrance of Yanbang Airport.

"Boss, don’t worry, I’ve got Yanbang covered!" Shen Qingguang said to Jiang Cheng.

In these two days, Jiang Cheng finally got everything in Yanbang arranged properly. It ended up taking one more day than he’d expected, which made Zhang Mengmeng really unhappy, but there was nothing she could do.

"Just don’t spend all your time chasing girls." Jiang Cheng looked at Shen Qingguang in front of him, those old-pervert eyes shining with the light of liberation.

These past few days Jiang Cheng and Zhang Mengmeng had been staying in the villa, so Shen Qingguang couldn’t really cut loose. It had practically tortured him; odds are not even one woman will be enough for him tonight.

"Attention passengers flying to Wu City, your flight is about to take off, please board as soon as possible." The airport broadcast urged people to board.

"Alright, I’m off. I’m leaving this place to you. If anything comes up, call Li Xian." Jiang Cheng said; Li Xian hadn’t come to see him off today because he had family matters to attend to.

"Got it, Boss, have a safe trip!" "Get lost, you’re the one who needs a safe trip!"

That afternoon, Jiang Cheng and Zhang Mengmeng arrived at Wushi Airport. As soon as they came out of the exit, Jiang Cheng noticed Jiang Qing’Er already waiting there.

After just a few days apart, Jiang Qing’Er had gotten even prettier—tall, slender figure, delicate, bright face, but she carried a very powerful aura, the full-on vibe of a domineering female CEO radiating from her without the slightest restraint.

But the moment Jiang Qing’Er saw Jiang Cheng, her aura instantly shifted; she suddenly turned into a gentle little lady type. Every man in Zhou Country who saw this couldn’t help but be insanely jealous of Jiang Cheng. The look Jiang Qing’Er gave Jiang Cheng didn’t hide a thing; the love in her eyes was so obvious even Zhang Mengmeng beside them could feel it.

"Qing’Er, you’re here." Seeing Qing’Er come to pick him up, Jiang Cheng was just as excited. These few days in Yanbang, he’d really been missing Qing’Er badly.

"President Jiang, and this is?" Jiang Qing’Er’s mood, which had been sky-high when she saw Jiang Cheng, cooled by half when she saw the baby-faced, big-chested little sister standing next to him—Zhang Mengmeng. Gone just a few days and he’s brought one back.

This can’t go on in the future! But damn, this woman’s chest really is huge... Jiang Qing’Er thought to herself.

"This is Director Zhang from the National Research Center. And this is the CEO of my company, Jiang Qing’Er." Jiang Cheng introduced the two women.

"So you’re Sister Qing’Er? Back in Yanbang I kept hearing Brother Jiang Cheng talk about you. You’re so pretty!"

"Oh, not at all, Mengmeng little sis, you’re the truly gorgeous one. You’re this young and already a director at the National Research Center! Guess you really can’t judge a book by its cover!"

After the two women exchanged compliments, they started chirping away together, completely leaving Jiang Cheng hanging on the side. It made Jiang Cheng feel utterly speechless about this thing called female friendship.

Not long after, the three of them returned to their respective villas, and Zhang Mengmeng moved into Jiang Qing’Er’s place. In Zhang Mengmeng’s words, that was: "This old man keeps looking at me with such lecherous eyes, it’s really scary."

So after killing Jiang Cheng countless times with her eyes, Jiang Qing’Er let Zhang Mengmeng stay at her place. As for why Zhang Mengmeng was together with Jiang Cheng, that would have to be asked slowly later.

Just as Jiang Cheng had arrived at his own villa, he got a call from Li Shengli. Now whenever Li Shengli saw Jiang Cheng’s number come in, he felt scared, always with a bad premonition.

"Jiang Cheng, you home yet?" Li Shengli asked on the other end, opening with almost the same line he’d used at Yanbang Airport last time. Sure enough, nothing good. Jiang Cheng thought to himself.

"Yeah, just got in. If you’ve got something to say, just say it." Inside, Jiang Cheng was rolling his eyes hard.

"Alright, then I’ll be straight. Wu City hasn’t been very peaceful lately." "Not peaceful? What do you mean?"

"In recent years, according to our investigation, the underground world in Wu City has been getting more and more rampant, and the triad organizations never stop despite all the crackdowns. I want you to help me clean it up a bit." After Li Shengli finished on the other end, Jiang Cheng on this side practically couldn’t sit still.

"Bro! I’m a businessman, okay! You had me protect that little devil girl, fine. But now you want me to help you clean up the triads? The country feeds so many people—why not use them? Why must a businessman like me be the one doing it?" Jiang Cheng really couldn’t figure it out. Did the National Security Team’s Special Operations Division have no one else?

"Hey, don’t rush, listen to me. The situation in Wu City is a bit complicated. It’s not just that the organizations are running wild; we suspect higher-ups in the government residence are acting as their protective umbrella. You’re a newcomer to the organization, but in terms of social status, the circles you can reach are higher than other members, so this job has to be yours."

"Hmph, don’t give me that crap. I’m not doing it."

"From now on, the underground world of Wu City is under your control."

"If you don’t, there’s no way you can be with Qing’Er."

"What’s that supposed to mean?" Hearing that, Jiang Cheng was puzzled. How did this get tied to Qing’Er again?

"Do you really know Jiang Qing’Er?"

With that question from Li Shengli, Jiang Cheng suddenly realized that his understanding of Jiang Qing’Er seemed limited to everything after he’d met her. He knew nothing about Qing’Er’s past or her family.

"Help me finish this job and you’ll find out soon enough. Oh, and you can tell Jiang Qing’Er about your identity. That’ll help with your mission," Li Shengli said calmly.

Jiang Cheng pondered for a moment, then agreed.

After hanging up, Jiang Cheng fell into thought. What kind of identity did Jiang Qing’Er have, and how was it connected to this mission? Right now Jiang Cheng felt his life was really not simple at all. He’d originally just wanted to be a pure business tycoon, but who’d have thought he’d end up becoming a crime boss afterwards.

Beep beep—Jiang Cheng’s wristband started ringing. Jiang Cheng looked: it was a file from Li Shengli, about the current division of underground forces in Wu City.

At present, the underworld gangs in Wu City are headed by Jiang Li, but the main large gangs are three: the Iron Fist Gang, the Fierce Tiger Gang, and the Qing Bang...
