Chapter 1384: Chapter 1383: Repaying Kindness

Boss? What boss? The four team members didn’t understand, but seeing the frightened expression of the teammate, they kept quiet.

My name is Jiang Cheng, and I am the new leader of the tech team!" Jiang Cheng spoke up after the crowd quieted down.

Indeed, this time he came not only as the leader of the tech team, but also as the director. After all, it’s better to have control over this institution.

The four people were startled, almost kneeling down before Jiang Cheng.

Boss Jiang...

Jiang Cheng ignored him and directly asked, "Didn’t any call get transferred to you here?!"

Yes...

"Then why did I wait half a day without a single team member arriving at the scene? Meanwhile, this guy just made one call and got you here in five minutes!" Jiang Cheng pointed at Tian Wei as he spoke.

The four team members were shocked to see Jiang Cheng confronting Tian Wei. One of the members felt very dissatisfied with Jiang Cheng, "I mean, Boss Jiang, on such a cold day, can’t we just ignore small matters for now, and you might not know, but this is Village Chief Tian’s nephew.

Seeing a team member not taking him seriously, Jiang Cheng understood that he hadn’t yet established himself in this place.

At this moment, Tian Wei sneered at Jiang Cheng and said, "Humph, Boss Jiang, is it? If you don’t release me, I guarantee you won’t hold your position for long!" Tian Wei threatened viciously.

Jiang Cheng didn’t speak, but directly punched Tian Wei in the stomach, making him spit out bile. The nearby team members were almost stunned.

Jiang Cheng’s punch was not only to make Tian Wei behave, but also to establish authority. Otherwise, anyone would dare to challenge him, and how would he lead?

"Tian Wei, right? I’ll tell you, as long as I am in position, don’t think you can get out from here!"

After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, he instructed the team members to detain Tian Wei, and though they were initially reluctant, they complied unwillingly due to Jiang Cheng’s status.

Jiang Cheng left the team station, waved down a cab, and headed to his residence. Midway through the journey, he suddenly saw two figures, an adult and a child, by the roadside.

Stop the car.

Jiang Cheng got out of the car. The two of them seemed to hear the noise, turning back to look at Jiang Cheng.

Why haven’t you gone home yet?" Jiang Cheng asked. It was already very late, and it was dangerous for them to be there.

"Boss Jiang... I..." The woman hesitated for a long time before saying a word.

Speak up!" Jiang Cheng said, "We... we don’t have a home..."

No home? Then where do you live?" Jiang Cheng asked.

A small inn, ten yuan a night.

"How can you stay in such a place with a child? Even if you don’t care for yourself, you must care for the child!" Jiang Cheng was a bit angry.

Uncle, don’t scold mom!" The little girl shouted, "Mom spent all her money buying me books!"

The woman looked at her child, eyes turning red.

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, squatted down, and looked at the little girl, "How about staying with uncle?"

The little girl turned to look at her mother upon hearing this. Jiang Cheng did not seek the woman’s opinion but directly picked up the little girl and walked toward the cab.

The woman hurriedly followed them into the car.

Arriving at Jiang Cheng’s home, Jiang Cheng said to the woman, "You can tidy up. That room is yours. Clean up and then take a bath. I’ll go out to buy you some clothes now."

The woman was holding her child, standing there, daring not to move.

Jiang Cheng felt a bit helpless, then suddenly had a bright idea, "I don’t know anyone around here, and I’m not the type to clean up the house regularly. I was actually looking for a housekeeper. Why don’t you clean the house for me; meals and lodging will be provided, and I’ll give you a thousand yuan a month. I’ll also take care of the child’s schooling. How about it?"

The woman stood there, stunned, hardly believing Jiang Cheng’s words. It wasn’t until her child felt uncomfortable and tugged at her sleeve that she reacted.

Is... is this real, Boss Jiang?" The woman asked in disbelief.

"What benefit would I have from lying to you? Hurry up and clean up." Jiang Cheng said before stepping out to buy clothes for the mother and daughter.

When Jiang Cheng returned, the woman had started doing housework. The living room was spotless. To her, this job was something she wouldn’t even dare dream of, so she treated it seriously without a hint of carelessness.

Jiang Cheng truly didn’t have any temper left.

"I said it’s already so late. Start tomorrow. Quickly, let the child have something to eat. There wasn’t much left outside, so I just bought a few things." Jiang Cheng said, putting the items on the table. The little girl looked at the snacks and instant noodles in the bag and couldn’t help but swallow, but she didn’t reach out to take them, instead looking at her mother. The woman quickly finished her task and sat down next to her daughter, but she also didn’t dare take anything.

Seeing them like this, Jiang Cheng pulled up a chair beside them, took out a couple of packets of cookies, opened them, and placed them in front of them. "Quickly eat. By the way, big sister, what should I call you?" The woman said, "My name is Han Qiujing."

The little girl, her mouth stuffed with a cookie, mumbled uncle, my name is Han Ke’Er.

Jiang Cheng found the little girl adorable and reached out to touch her hair, "Keep eating, and rest early after you finish."

Jiang Cheng finished speaking and returned to his room. Finally, with Jiang Cheng gone, Han Qiujing also picked up a piece of cookie and placed it in her mouth.

Mom, this cookie is delicious!" Ke’Er said.

Han Qiujing’s eyes instantly turned red, as she picked up a sausage and slowly ate it. Shortly thereafter, Han Ke’Er was full, burped, and said, "Mom, I’m full. I want to sleep."

Han Qiujing hurriedly stuffed the food into her mouth, picked up Han Ke’Er, walked into the room, and placed her on the bed. Looking at the gradually asleep Han Ke’Er, Han Qiujing couldn’t help it; tears started to flow. She knew very well that she would never be able to repay Jiang Cheng’s kindness.

The next morning, Jiang Cheng woke up and came out of his room, instantly seeing the delicious breakfast on the table, sparking his appetite. Although it was no gourmet delicacy, Jiang Cheng still wanted to eat.

"Up so early!"

Han Qiujing served Jiang Cheng a bowl of porridge and handed him a pair of chopsticks, then nervously watched him, fearing the food wouldn’t suit his taste.

Jiang Cheng picked up a piece of vegetable and put it in his mouth, "Hmm, the taste is good. You guys should eat together."

No, Mr. Jiang, we’ll eat after you finish."

Jiang Cheng heard this and was displeased. How could such old societal rules exist in his house?

Big sister, we’ll live together from now on, so we’re like a family. You should feel free and not be so restrained. This is your home." He said while deliberately making a serious face.

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, Han Qiujing had no choice but to serve two bowls of rice and sit at the table with Han Ke’Er.
