Chapter 8: Extreme despair

At the same time, in a luxuriously decorated conference room at the Jiang Family.

Jiang Zhenshan, the head of the Jiang Family, sat in the main seat, and Jiang Hai, the heir, sat in the first position below him to his left, while the Family's direct descendants sat below.

"The reason I have called this emergency Family meeting is that there are four things to discuss!"

Jiang Zhenshan said straightforwardly, "First, in three days, it will be my son Jiang Hai's wedding. The wedding must be grand and magnificent!"

"Second, this morning, the Xu Family, which controlled the underground forces of Jiang City, was annihilated!"

"Third, Jiangcheng No. 1 was purchased for a sky-high price of three hundred million!"

"Fourth, news just came that Sheng Tian Group has changed ownership!"

Apart from the first matter, the other three were more shocking than the last.

Before everyone could recover, he continued:

"The Jiang Family's development has reached a Bottleneck. To change the current situation, we can only seek new opportunities, and Sheng Tian Group is our new opportunity!"

Jiang Zhenshan swept his gaze over everyone and said loudly, "If the Jiang Family can get a project, within two years, there is a high probability that the Jiang Family will be promoted to a top-tier wealthy Family!"

Hearing about being promoted to a top-tier wealthy Family, the people of the Jiang Family were all full of excitement, and their breathing quickened.

Jiang Hai said with a look of surprise, "Dad, does the new Boss of Sheng Tian Group really have such great power?"

The look of worry on Jiang Zhenshan's face flashed away, and his tone became slightly heavy: "Apart from your wedding, which of the things I just mentioned wasn't a major event in Jiang City?"

"The annihilation of the Xu Family, the sky-high sale of Jiangcheng No. 1 Villa, the change of ownership of Sheng Tian Group—these three things happened one after another. Don't you have any other thoughts?"

Hearing Jiang Zhenshan say this, Jiang Hai realized something and said with a shocked expression, "Dad, do you think these three things are related to the same person?"

Jiang Zhenshan nodded and said with a solemn expression, "Not only that, but the matter of the Yang Family five years ago is also related to this person!"

Jiang Hai was immediately dumbfounded.

"Jiang Hai, take generous gifts and visit Sheng Tian Group immediately. If you can gain the favor of that Mysterious Person, the status of the Jiang Family will rise!"

"Yes!"

...

Sheng Tian Group.

A young figure was standing at the main entrance of the group, his eyes full of nostalgia.

Five years ago, the Yang Family was at its Peak, and Sheng Tian Group was the Yang Family's largest industry.

"Yang Jiutian?"

Just then, Jiang Hai got out of a Maybach and looked at that figure with extreme surprise.

Yang Jiutian's thoughts were disturbed. He saw Jiang Hai, dressed in a formal suit, walking towards him.

When enemies meet, their eyes turn red with hatred!

At this moment, Jiang Hai's pupils were filled with intense killing intent. In contrast, Yang Jiutian's expression was calm, without the slightest ripple in his eyes.

"Yang Jiutian, you have a lot of guts. Are you here to apply for a job at Sheng Tian Group? Aren't you afraid that you, the only Bloodline of the Yang Family, will also be annihilated?"

Jiang Hai's eyes were full of playful mockery.

He knew that the new owner of Sheng Tian Group was very likely the Mysterious Person who had annihilated the Yang Family.

"Apply for a job?"

Yang Jiutian was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "How do you know I'm here to apply for a job?"

"If you're not here to apply for a job, could you be the new owner of Sheng Tian Group?" Jiang Hai said sarcastically.

"It seems you're not completely stupid," Yang Jiutian said.

Jiang Hai was stunned for a while before he reacted, realizing that Yang Jiutian meant he was the new owner of Sheng Tian Group.

Jiang Hai couldn't help but laugh, "Yang Jiutian, you're really making me laugh. A survivor of an annihilated Family dares to say he's the new owner of Sheng Tian Group?"

Looking at Jiang Hai laughing wildly, Yang Jiutian felt helpless. In this world, why is it that when you tell the truth, no one believes you?

"Hai Shao, what happened? You're laughing so happily. Tell me about it so I can be happy too."

A young man wearing a Sheng Tian Group work badge on his chest slowly walked over.

"Manager Zhang, you're here!"

Jiang Hai immediately put on a respectful look: "This idiot says he's the new owner of Sheng Tian Group. Isn't that funny?"

"He's really something that doesn't know his place, daring to impersonate the owner of Sheng Tian Group."

Manager Zhang glanced at Yang Jiutian contemptuously: "Kid, I see you're here for an interview, right?"

"I'm telling you now, as long as I'm here, you won't succeed even if you apply for a cleaner position. Get lost quickly!"

Just then, several luxury cars worth tens of millions suddenly sped over.

Jiang Hai then remembered the purpose of his visit to Sheng Tian Group and quickly said to Manager Zhang, "Manager Zhang, I want to visit the new Chairman of Sheng Tian Group. Can you arrange it?"

Manager Zhang looked a bit troubled: "Hai Shao, it's not that I'm unwilling..."

Before Manager Zhang could finish speaking, Jiang Hai immediately took out a bank card, slipped it into his hand, and said with a smile, "This small favor shouldn't be difficult for Manager Zhang, right?"

"Haha... Not difficult, not difficult! With my relationship with Hai Shao, what's this small favor?"

Manager Zhang laughed happily and enthusiastically pulled Jiang Hai into Sheng Tian Group.

Looking at the two figures leaving arm in arm, Yang Jiutian sneered, "Jiang Hai, let you be happy for a few more days."

Top floor of Sheng Tian Group, in a luxuriously decorated office, Yang Jiutian sat on a comfortable large sofa.

A middle-aged man, over forty years old, was standing respectfully in front of Yang Jiutian, his body trembling slightly with excitement.

"You've worked hard all these years!"

Yang Jiutian said with emotion.

The middle-aged man's body trembled violently, and he said with red eyes, "Jiutian, please don't say such things. If you hadn't saved me back then, I would probably have died on the streets long ago."

"Five years ago, after the Yang Family incident, I joined Sheng Tian Group as a bottom-level employee and worked my way up desperately, just so that one day I could wait for you to come back!"

"To hand over a complete Sheng Tian Group to you!"

If outsiders saw this scene, they would be stunned.

Because this middle-aged man was none other than the General Manager of Sheng Tian Group, Qin Zheng.

Five years ago, he was just an ordinary person who had received Yang Jiutian's kindness. Five years later, he became the General Manager of Sheng Tian Group.

Everything was just to repay the kindness!

Even Yang Jiutian himself hadn't expected that his unintentional act back then had gained him such a loyal person.

At this moment, the Secretary suddenly knocked and entered, saying respectfully, "President Qin, the Jiang Family is here and wants to visit the Chairman."

Qin Zheng naturally knew how the Jiang Family had kicked them while they were down after the Yang Family was annihilated. At this moment, he was full of anger: "The Jiang Family also wants to see the Chairman? Tell them to scram!"

Just as the Secretary was about to leave, Yang Jiutian suddenly spoke: "Wait!"

His eyes flashed with cold light: "Just say I'm not here. Also, satisfy all of the Jiang Family's demands!"

"Jiutian, why is this?"

Qin Zheng looked puzzled.

"Do you know under what circumstances a person will experience despair?"

"Death?"

"No!"

"Buddha said there are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, sickness, death, separation from loved ones, being with those one hates, not getting what one wants, and being unable to let go. But that's not enough!"

"I will first help him achieve success, then crush him!"

"Only when a person has reached the Peak, then loses everything, and can never get it back, can they feel the ultimate despair!"

"I want him to wish for death but be unable to die, and wish for life but be unable to live!"
