Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Wait Until I Am Rich

Seeing Jiang Zhao Yuan’s astonished expression, Jiang Li smiled and said, "Grandpa, don’t be nervous. I’m not plotting against the company. I just accidentally overheard your conversation with Uncle three days ago. After autumn, there will be a storm on the high seas. You should stop the cargo ships and start from Qiong Jiao Island instead."

Jiang Zhao Yuan was even more surprised.

He didn’t bother to ask how Jiang Li came to know this information. Instead, he frowned and scoffed, "What does a young girl like you know? If we stop all the cargo ships on the high seas, what will our family eat for the second half of the year? Our Jiang Family’s ships have always connected with Africa’s Yamu Company. Do you know how far it is to reroute from Qiong Jiao Island?"

Moreover, their family’s routes had been verified and calculated by a Feng Shui Master.

How could anything possibly go wrong?

Jiang Li said nothing more.

After all, she had given her warning.

Whether it was heeded depended on the old man’s mood and the fate of the entire Jiang Family.

After all, in the book, the Jiang Family’s cargo ships were lost in a huge ocean storm, and the family never recovered from the debt incurred.

After returning to his room, Jiang Mingchuan made another call to Jiang Zhao Yuan.

"Dad, there’s almost an uproar in the company, and the board of directors is unbudging. You need to quickly decide on the routes for next quarter."

Jiang Zhao Yuan parted his lips, about to suggest going with the usual routes and minimizing costs when Jiang Li’s words suddenly echoed in his ears.

Although the causality hadn’t happened yet, once spoken by someone else, it takes on a different implication.

After all, those who did business on the sea were most concerned about good and bad fortune.

Even if he currently didn’t want to change the routes, Jiang Li had pointed it out, and what if her words turned prophetic? Would that not doom the Jiang Family?

Thinking this, Jiang Zhao Yuan said sternly, "Let’s withdraw seventy percent of the ships and reroute them from Qiong Jiao Island, leaving only a small fraction on the high seas."

Jiang Mingchuan was very surprised, "But Qiong Jiao Island is too far. Wouldn’t we lose half of our costs if we go from there?"

"You just listen to me, I’ll handle the board of directors."

...

A few days later, at the merchant’s place. freewёbnoνel.com

Shang Shaobai received a call from his assistant –

"Director Shang, just as you said, the Jiang Family has virtually withdrawn their ships from the high seas."

Shang Shaobai’s eyes deepened, his fingertips tapped lightly on the desktop.

Jiang Li had predicted correctly again.

"Very good," he smiled and said, "With the Jiang Family gone, the cargo quota is now free. Arrange for someone secretly; we must persuade Shaojing to use our company’s ships to fill the gap."

"Tell them the Jiang Family has financial leaks, and their ships won’t make it far next quarter. This presents a perfect opportunity to squeeze the Jiang Family out of maritime trade... That reason will appeal to him."

"Understood, Director. I’ll handle it as instructed."

After hanging up, an occasional flicker of excitement danced behind Shang Shaobai’s glasses.

Shaojing, your good days are numbered.

...

...

Soon, the day to start shooting for "Wilderness Survival 30 Days" arrived.

The filming location had been set on an uninhabited island in the southern part of Hua Country – Dragon Ridge Island.

Beforehand, all guests were required to pay their way to Yan City, the closest gathering point to Dragon Ridge Island.

Jiang Li and Jiang Yan decided to depart a day earlier.

Before leaving, the whole Jiang Family came out to see them off, even Shen Lan returned from a meeting just in time.

Lin Manru, unable to hide her concern, held Jiang Li’s hand and said, "Lili, I’ve heard from people at the company that the show is very dangerous. If it’s too much, just come back. I’ll pay the penalty for breaking the contract."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan’s eyes lit up, "Mom, would you pay my penalty too? If you do, I’ll stay home right now and keep you company."

He only agreed to join the variety show because he couldn’t afford the sky-high penalty of ten million.

Right now, he could count all his possessions on his fingers, not nearly enough to scrape together ten million.

However, Lin Manru merely glanced at him indifferently before looking away, with an expression that read "Who are you? I don’t recognize you."

Jiang Yan: "....."

Aren’t they all your children? Why the difference in treatment?

Jiang Shixu carefully pulled out a bracelet from his pocket and slipped it onto Jiang Li’s wrist.

"Big sister, I prayed for this at the temple a few days ago. It’s a peace charm. Please wear it."

Jiang Li looked down at the milky white lotus beads, smiled, and said, "Shixu, thank you for your thoughtfulness. This bead can indeed serve as a protection charm."

Complimented, Jiang Shixu was overjoyed.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng was not to be outdone and immediately pulled out a gold Guanyin pendant.

"Sister, I bought this with my New Year’s money and even had a master bless it. May it help you claim first place!"

Jiang Li received the necklace and nodded in satisfaction, "Xiao Cheng is thoughtful, too."

Lately, this child had been behaving exceptionally well; he not only stopped bullying others but also focused more on his studies and even woke up before dawn every day to exercise with her.

It seems a beating did work after all.

Jiang Cheng was extremely proud and tilted his chin up at Jiang Shixu the next second.

Jiang Shixu’s face darkened.

This little green tea [b*tch]!

He knew something was fishy when he secretly followed him the other day!

He had a bracelet prayed for at the temple, and this guy turned around and gave a gold Guanyin to their sister, huh?!

Seeing Jiang Li wearing Buddha beads from Zhao Lang on her left hand, the bracelet from Jiang Shixu on her right hand, and apart from Jiang Cheng’s gold Guanyin on her neck, two Vajra Relics worth a hundred million, Jiang Yan couldn’t help but feel envious.

Her jewelry alone was worth buying three of him!

So, he extended his hand sourly in front of Shixu, "What about mine?"

Jiang Shixu paused, then cautiously lifted his eyelids to look at him.

"Big brother... I, I forgot you were going, too..."

Jiang Yan: ?

"Just give me the bracelet you’re wearing." Jiang Yan pointed at the beads he was wearing, identical to Jiang Li’s.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shixu immediately covered his wrist tightly.

"No, this is a sibling set for my big sister, you can’t have it."

Jiang Yan: ?

He could only clench his teeth and move his hand towards Jiang Cheng.

"Hey, where’s my gold?"

Jiang Cheng’s face turned sullen, and he lowered his head with a downtrodden expression, "Brother, that’s all the New Year’s money I had. Don’t worry, when I get more money, I’ll buy you an even bigger one than sister’s."

Jiang Yan: ?

Is he just drawing pie in the sky now?

Aren’t Shen Lan’s unrealistic promises enough for him?

On the second floor, Jiang Ye looked at the old man staring unblinkingly at the door and sighed helplessly.

"Old master, if you’re reluctant to part with her, why not go down and send her off personally instead of just standing here?"

Hearing this, Jiang Zhao Yuan turned around and snorted coldly, "Who said I’m reluctant? I’d be glad if that girl goes as far away as possible! I just don’t want to see her whisking my grandson away!"

Jiang Ye pursed his lips.

Speaking of being stubborn, his old master would rank second to none.
