Chapter 1455: Chapter 1445: Drift

Jiang Cheng walked toward Dong Ran, whose face was swollen after being beaten, and said, "Why be so foolish? Just for such a small matter, you got into a fight with that man? I just... just can’t stand his money-driven ways. When there’s something, he has me as his son, but when there’s nothing, he doesn’t even recognize me!" Dong Ran finally shed tears, quickly wiping them away with his sleeve.

Jiang Cheng gently applied an ice pack from the infirmary on Dong Ran’s face for cold compress, saying, "In the future, no matter what happens, don’t be impulsive like that. Remember, you still have your big brother, me. Don’t let yourself be covered in injuries again!"

"Big brother... big brother... you are my real big brother from now on. Whether it’s walking into fire or climbing mountains of knives, I’ll be with you for life!" Dong Ran said sincerely.

Seeing Dong Ran’s face swollen like a pig’s head, Jiang Cheng felt both anger and amusement, but mostly touched. How could one not be moved by a child fighting his own father for his sake?

Xunteng Company’s strength is formidable; the handling result of the incident was released by the afternoon that very day.

The race organizer was replaced by Xunteng Company, and Jiang Cheng, with his wealth, generously sponsored 100 million. Due to his top-level racing skills and renowned reputation, he was invited to be Ping Wei in this race.

The afternoon before the race, another commotion broke out. "If you act like that, you can get out! I, Jiang Cheng, will not tolerate deceit!" Jiang Cheng fumed yet again.

It turned out Jiang Cheng saw a Ping Wei in the adjacent rest room accepting a bribe from a competitor’s parents and seemed to be making promises.

"I... I just have a good relationship with that competitor’s parents, frequent interactions, so they gave me a little red envelope, what’s wrong with that?" Ping Wei argued stubbornly.

Jiang Cheng felt his worldview refreshed yet again, helplessly releasing the bribery video to the public.

"Don’t worry, I’ll vote for your son when the time comes. It’s not my first time doing such things; who can’t do covert operations? Rest assured!" Ping Wei’s voice flowed from the video.

Ping Wei’s face showed shame, not knowing what to say. "I... I.

Jiang Cheng shouted: "I, what, I? Nothing left to say, huh? Now pack up and leave!"

Ping Wei had no choice; despite being a veteran in the racing world, his face couldn’t hold up, so he said to Jiang Cheng, "Fine, I’ll leave, just don’t regret it!"

Jiang Cheng said nothing, but made a call, bringing in a world-class racing champion to replace the bribed Ping Wei. The bribed Ping Wei had no choice but to turn away on the spot, leaving with a resentful glance towards Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng said nothing about the departure of bribed Ping Wei, but due to the sudden replacement of Ping Wei before the race, Jiang Cheng had to convene an urgent meeting with all the Examiners.

"You all saw the outcome for that Ping Wei just now, right?" Jiang Cheng scanned the seated Examiners.

The Examiners exchanged glances, nodding at Jiang Cheng repeatedly.

Jiang Cheng was both the chief Examiner, the investor, and the boss of Xunteng Company, also a well-known scientist at Ding Mo. Who in the world dared to give him less face?

Jiang Cheng furrowed his brows and said, "If anyone among you doesn’t learn from the bribe-taking teacher’s precedent, don’t blame me, Jiang Cheng, for giving you no face!" Jiang Cheng said and left, leaving the other Examiners looking at each other in dismay. "Jiang Cheng really is a person with both talent and integrity!" an esteemed old gentleman slowly commented.

A young Ping Wei furrowed his brows, speaking oddly, "Oh, that’s not necessarily true, old gentleman!"

"Jiang Cheng may have money, but he can’t be the focus everywhere he goes, nor can he be praised everywhere, can he?"

"Is that really true? Jiang Cheng doesn’t allow cheating in his race, doesn’t that alone prove his integrity?" the old man questioned in confusion.

"Isn’t that just your rigidity? As the organizer, wouldn’t Jiang Cheng be willing to profit a bit from the race? I wouldn’t be so sure about that," the young Ping Wei continued.

The old man stroked his white goatee and said calmly, "Young man, isn’t that using a vile heart to measure a gentleman’s belly? Jiang Cheng isn’t the kind of person you described; he manages the entire Xunteng Company himself."

"Your Director Zhang is Jiang Cheng, isn’t he? How could he be short on money?"

"Who in this world would dislike having more money, right? Money is always welcomed," the young Ping Wei scoffed sarcastically. Before the old Ping Wei could respond, another Ping Wei, who had been silent, spoke up, "Do you think the dismissed Ping Wei was only booted for accepting a bribe? Maybe someone was backing him, leading Jiang Cheng to let him go?" "Someone? Who’s someone, and what do you mean by that?" the young Ping Wei asked. "Is there more to Jiang Cheng’s words worth discovering? If I find it, I’ll surely tarnish his name!"

The person hesitated, then said, "We all know Jiang Cheng got involved in this mess to register Zhou Wei!"

"What do you mean...?" the young Ping Wei questioned.

"Jiang Cheng might want to pre-ordain Zhou Wei as the champion!" The person sipped tea as he spoke.

The old Ping Wei slammed his cane, exclaiming, "You really are beyond teaching! How could Jiang Cheng do such a thing?"

"I don’t care whether Jiang Cheng set up the championship or not, but I’m set on voting for Zhou Wei!" The young Ping Wei said slowly.

No matter if Jiang Cheng predetermined Zhou Wei as champion, if true, voting for Zhou Wei gives Jiang Cheng a favor; if not, it doesn’t matter much.

The Ping Weis heard the young Ping Wei’s viewpoint and decided to follow his lead.

Jiang Cheng is someone too powerful to provoke, better to be cautious!

"Come out with me for a bit!"

He said plainly, "We’ve been friends for a long time. Let me warn you, Jiang Cheng isn’t someone you can provoke. Let him owe you a favor; why waste unnecessary effort trying to bring him down? Also, be careful not to get burned."

The man then whispered some rumors about Jiang Cheng and his true identity in Ping Wei’s ear.

"Thanks, brother, really thank you! If it weren’t for your warning, I might have really provoked Jiang Cheng, the big boss, this time!" Ping Wei patted his friend’s shoulder.

His friend smiled, saying, "Alright, let’s not speak of these senseless things between us. Just remember, Jiang Cheng isn’t easy to deal with! I need to go home to take care of my kids. Bye!"

"You daughter-slave, alright, bye, thanks again!" Ping Wei said goodbye to the man.

Time flew by, and the race arrived as scheduled. "I vote for Zhou Wei!"

"I agree with the previous Ping Wei’s suggestion; I think Zhou Wei’s turns are gorgeous, not just stable, but also fast!"

"Me too, Zhou Wei earned my vote; he has robust professional knowledge!"

"Yes, I like Zhou Wei as well. Comparing his age to his current racing skills, he’s not only talented but also hard-working!"

What Jiang Cheng didn’t expect was that, excluding himself, all the Ping Weis unanimously voted for Zhou Wei, with none voting for other competitors. "Although I think Zhou Wei’s racing skills are quite good, I admire that girl with a disabled left leg even more; she’s powerful. Though her skills aren’t great, I think her spirit deserves my valuable vote!" Jiang Cheng said earnestly.
