The auxiliary leader of Dingjing turned his head to look, and outside the law enforcement bureau's line stood a group of family members of Dingjing's upper-class figures, led by people from the Gong Family and Ye Family.

"What are those people here for?"

The auxiliary leader of Dingjing said sarcastically, "They used to look down on Mr. Jiang and made things difficult for him in all sorts of ways. Now that Mr. Jiang has risen to prominence and given them some dry stocks for their retirement, he's already been very generous. What's this? They're not content and want to cling to him?"

"Is there a bigger figure in the Flame Dragon business world than Mr. Jiang?" The leader of Dingjing said with amusement.

The auxiliary leader of Dingjing raised an eyebrow: "Perhaps they're thinking of clinging onto the Y Empress."

"Haha! They're overthinking it. However, there's actually a possibility they want to use Mr. Jiang's reputation to connect with the Y Empress. With Mr. Jiang's influence in the Flame Dragon business world, if the Y Empress wants to launch comprehensive commercial cooperation with Flame Dragon, she would undoubtedly reach out to Mr. Jiang."

The leader of Dingjing sneered coldly, then analyzed the situation.

The auxiliary leader of Dingjing nodded, no longer bothering to look at the people from the Gong Family and Ye Family.

"Everyone be quiet. When Y Country's Empress's special plane arrives, we'll all welcome her together, understand?"

Gong Zijun shouted loudly from the crowd beside the runway.

"Understood!"

The crowd responded loudly in unison.

Since Jiang Chen's rise, the people of the Gong Family and Ye Family had kept a low profile for a while, fearing Jiang Chen would settle scores with them later.

However, upon finding out that not only did Jiang Chen not settle scores with them but instead sent people to help manage their businesses and gave them certain dry shares, they all perked up.

Apart from not daring to act recklessly near Yi Chen and Longteng or the areas close to Jiang Chen's home, there wasn't a single place among the upper-class society in Dingjing and Jinhai where they didn't show up.

Each time they appeared, the two families would use Jiang Chen's name to attract attention to satisfy their vanity.

Gradually, this mere satisfaction of vanity was no longer enough to bring them joy, so with inflated ambition, they sought actual power, contacting Ye Jingyi and Gong Lin for company positions.

Ye Jingyi and Gong Lin of course refused firmly!

Feeling aggrieved by the refusal, the two families went to the company to directly demand power using Ye Jingyi and Gong Lin's names but were tactfully driven out by the company's staff.

From that moment, the two families once again harbored resentment towards Jiang Chen.

This time, upon unexpectedly hearing about the Y Empress's special plane arriving in Dingjing, they immediately gathered a group of usually friendly upper-class family members to greet it, intending to reveal their status in Dingjing before the Y Empress to gain her favor!

"I say, would it be inappropriate for us to use Jiang Chen's name to meet the Y Empress like this?" Ye Jianxiong opened his mouth with eyes filled with worry at the front of the group.

"What's inappropriate?"

Zhou Ru shouted sharply, "Would Jiang Chen have achieved what he has today if it weren't for Jing Yi? What's wrong with using his name a little? I tell you, if you dare tell Jing Yi and ruin our prospects, I'll divorce you!"

Ye Jianxiong's expression changed suddenly, quickly pleasing her: "Alright, alright, I was just saying it casually!"

"Dad, don't worry! Jiang Chen's success is entirely due to our family Jing Yi and Gong Lin's sister. If it weren't for Jing Yi managing the company for him, would he have achieved his success today?" Ye Yanni also spoke persuasively, showing a strong jealousy in her eyes.

She had bullied Ye Jingyi since childhood, but now, Ye Jingyi was doing much better than her. Moreover, the most important thing was that under Jiang Chen's guidance, Ye Jingyi no longer fell under their control, which displeased her greatly. Seeing Yi Chen grow bigger and bigger felt like her belongings had been taken by others.

"Jianxiong, you need not be afraid!"

Old Lady Luo beside her spoke arrogantly, "You are worried that Jiang Chen will be angry? Humph! Let him try getting angry. I tell you, I heard from Lin Lin not long ago that the company nearly collapsed, and later he borrowed huge debts. He is now troubled, and if he dares get angry, Lin Lin and Jing Yi will stop managing his company, letting it go bankrupt!"

"Exactly, without Jing Yi and Lin Lin's efforts, would he have achieved success today? Using his name without fear, what right does he have to be angry? Borrow him a gut; he wouldn't dare be angry with us!"

Zhou Ru sneered, recalling the image of Jiang Chen suffering humiliation at their home in the past, feeling extremely proud and showing a wild expression in her eyes.

Look now, the Flame Dragon business world giant, he was once scolded by me like a dog!

"By the way, when everyone shouts later, don't forget to yell that we are Jiang Chen's family, his father and mother-in-law, grandma, and so on. Although that bastard rose because of Lin Lin and Jing Yi, he is the chairman now, so the Y Empress will surely know about him but not necessarily Jing Yi and Lin Lin!" Gong Zijun suddenly thought of something, gently reminded.

"Humph! That Jiang Chen is a bastard! All the hard and dirty work is done by our Lin Lin and Jing Yi, but he gains the reputation. He is a complete freeload!" Zhou Ru said with contempt.

Old Lady Luo had a longing expression in her eyes: "Now he is burdened with huge debts. This time, if we manage to connect with the Empress, score the Y Country's commercial investment opportunities, and then let him transfer the shares of Yi Chen and Longteng to us, considering he still has some reputation with value, we can help repay a small part of the debt interest!"

"Why repay his debts? That's our money!" Gong Zijun spoke discontentedly.

"This shows you are not as cunning as Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen has now established his reputation. Partners with Yi Chen and Longteng all recognize Jiang Chen; the Y Empress will surely recognize him as well. When we help pay part of the debt interest, one is to make him transfer company shares to us, and the other is to make him sign contracts!"

Old Lady Luo gave Gong Zijun a stern look and said earnestly, "Once signed, we can remove him as major shareholders, maybe giving him three thousand or five thousand a month, enough to not starve him!"

"Grandma, you are indeed wise!"

Gong Zijun's eyes brightened, already envisioning himself sitting in the chairman's office at Longteng.

"The company's success was surely contributed by my sister's efforts, but most of it was Jiang Chen's merit; doing such is too much of an excess!" Gong Yue, who hadn't spoken all along, voiced dissatisfaction.

She always held a vague admiration for Jiang Chen in her heart, and changes followed by certain events made her have a positive revised opinion of Jiang Chen, not wanting him targeted by family.

"What do you know! What's his merit? All the credit belongs to Jing Yi and Lin Lin!"

"Right, what's known by a little girl like you?"

"Keep quiet! If that damned Jiang Chen didn't tell everyone to stop us from using his name in authority executing, you wouldn't be here today!"

"Of course, don't think bringing us in here is a merit allowing you to point fingers at us; let me tell you, that damned Jiang Chen is exploiting you and Lin Lin's kind hearts and dare act presumptuously!"

Gong Yue's words in defense of Jiang Chen sparked anger and loud rebuke from the Gong and Ye families.

Rumbling...

A roaring sound echoed, a private plane marked with Y Country's unique royal emblem approached from the distance.
