Chapter 57 Jiang Ning is angry!
Wipe the dog poop off your shoes?
Grandpa Jiang looked at Zhang Lei in disbelief, thinking he was hallucinating.
Even the two coworkers next to him thought they had misheard. Ma Gui couldn't help but speak up, "Manager Zhang, you're making Old Jiang shine your shoes? Isn't that an insult?"
“Yes, Manager Zhang, why do you have to make things difficult for people like this?” Li Qiang chimed in.
Zhang Lei smiled and looked up at Grandpa Jiang. "Is this an insult? In that case, Old Zhang, let's just let this matter go. Anyway, I don't think you care about this job."
As he spoke, Zhang Lei stood up from his chair, making a move to leave.
Seeing this, Grandpa Jiang immediately pressed Zhang Lei down, "No, Manager Zhang, please, please don't go, I'll wipe it clean for you right away."
It's just shining shoes, isn't it?
He treated it as a change of job.
Shoe shiners are everywhere on the streets.
Does that mean they don't want to live anymore?
Grandpa Jiang comforted himself, pulled a tissue from the table, knelt on one knee, and began to wipe Zhang Lei's shoes.
Seeing that he actually bent down to wipe Zhang Lei's shoes, Li Qiang and Ma Gui immediately stopped him, "Old Jiang, get up! Get up, we can't stand this kind of treatment."
Zhang Lei is clearly bullying people.
Grandpa Jiang looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "It's alright, it's alright, you two don't need to pull me. It's my honor to shine Manager Zhang's shoes."
He came from the countryside, was illiterate, and was quite old, so finding a job was really difficult for him.
If helping Zhang Lei wipe his shoes could save my job, then it would be a worthwhile investment.
Seeing Grandpa Jiang like this, Li Qiang immediately pulled out a piece of paper from the side, "I'll help you wipe it."
Ma Gui then pulled out a piece of paper, "I'll help you wipe it too."
The older generation is very loyal and righteous.
Li Qiang and Ma Gui couldn't stand seeing their old comrade suffer such injustice.
Zhang Lei looked at Li Qiang and Ma Gui, frowning, "You two go cool off somewhere else, I only need Lao Jiang to wipe me down."
Grandpa Jiang looked up and smiled at the two of them, "Old Li, Old Ma, I appreciate your kind gesture."
Looking at Zhang Lei, Li Qiang and Ma Gui were furious, but there was nothing they could do.
Under the power of the strong, these working people can only bow their heads.
Zhang Lei then spoke up, "Keep wiping, Lao Jiang, but make sure you wipe carefully."
"Good, good, good." Old Master Jiang nodded repeatedly.
Zhang Lei leaned back in his chair and looked at Grandpa Jiang. "Old Jiang, didn't you always brag about your precious granddaughter getting first place? I never expected that you, the grandpa of the first place winner, would be shining my shoes today."
So what if I get first place?
So what if I can get into No. 1 High School?
Although his son didn't get into the top high school or get first place in the exam, at least he doesn't have to live as humbly as Jiang Fuhai!
Some people live truly pitiful lives.
Grandpa Jiang didn't say anything, but lowered his head and carefully wiped the shoes.
After about five or six minutes, he threw the tissue into the trash can and said, "Manager Zhang, I'm done wiping."
Zhang Lei looked at the shoes. "Hmm, they're cleaned pretty well."
Grandpa Jiang stood up from the ground. "Manager Zhang, I'll go to work now."
"stop!"
Zhang Lei suddenly spoke up.
Grandpa Jiang turned around with some confusion. "What's wrong, Manager Zhang? Is there anything else?"
Zhang Lei snorted coldly, "Didn't I just say? You've already been fired."
"Fired?" Old Master Jiang was clearly stunned. "But Manager Zhang, you clearly said that as long as I cleaned your shoes, you would let me stay and continue working."
"Did I say that?" Zhang Lei asked, feigning confusion.
Li Qiang, who was standing nearby, immediately said, "I've already said it, I can testify!"
Ma Gui continued, "Me too! I heard it too, Manager Zhang, you can't bully people like this."
Zhang Lei took a few steps forward and stopped in front of Grandpa Jiang. "Bullying someone? I'm going to bully you today, what can you do about it?"
"Zhang Lei!" Ma Gui clenched his fist, almost unable to contain himself any longer. "Don't push your luck!"
Grandpa Jiang immediately stepped in front of Ma Gui, "Manager Zhang, let's talk this out. What exactly do you want?"
Zhang Lei's eyes were full of mockery. "What can I do? I'm just following the company's rules and regulations. If the company wants to fire you, what can I do? You'd better leave now! Stop making trouble here."
Li Qiang was almost at his wit's end. "Since you never intended to help Lao Jiang in the first place, why did you make him shine your shoes? Aren't you just a dog in the company? What right do you have to bully people?"
Hearing Li Qiang call him a dog, Zhang Lei's face turned furious. "Li Qiang, I advise you to behave yourself! Otherwise, you can get out of here with Jiang Fuhai!"
"Fine, get out! Zhang Lei, let me tell you, I've had enough of this!" Li Qiang ripped off his vest and threw it on the ground.
“Me too, I quit!” Ma Gui also took off his vest and threw it on the ground. “Zhang Lei, you son of a bitch, you’ll get your comeuppance.”
Seeing that his two old friends had lost their jobs because of him, Grandpa Jiang quickly stopped them, saying, "Old Ma, Old Li, don't be impulsive, and don't do anything foolish because of me."
After saying that, Grandpa Jiang walked to Zhang Lei's side and began to plead for Li Qiang and Ma Gui, "Manager Zhang, if you have any anger, take it out on me. Old Ma and Old Li are innocent. They were just joking. Please don't take it to heart!"
Zhang Lei slapped Old Master Jiang's hand away, "Get out! All of you get out! I'm telling you, from this moment on, you're all fired from the company!"
Grandpa Jiang lost his balance and almost fell to the ground.
"Old Jiang, don't beg him! Who wants to work under someone like that!" Li Qiang and Ma Gui took Old Master Jiang away directly.
Come to the door.
Grandpa Jiang looked at the two men with some guilt, "Old Ma, Old Li, I'm really sorry, because of me, you both lost your jobs."
The current economic climate is not good, and it's difficult for young people to find jobs, let alone older people like them.
"What are you talking about, Lao Jiang?" Li Qiang comforted him, "We quit voluntarily, what's it to you?"
“Exactly,” Ma Gui continued, “I’ve long disliked that bastard Zhang Lei. He’s nothing but a nobody, yet he’s always pointing fingers at us! Old Jiang, don’t worry, just stay home and rest today, and we’ll go out and look for work together tomorrow.”
“Yes,” Li Qiang nodded, “we’ll go together tomorrow.”
Seeing his two old friends open up to him, Grandpa Jiang was very moved and said with a smile, "Old Ma and Old Li, we don't have anything to do today, so don't go back. Have dinner at my house tonight."
"No, no," Li Qiang refused. "My little grandson has been pestering me to buy him a toy gun for a while now. I didn't have time the other day, but I'll take him after school this afternoon."
“I’m not going either. My husband texted me saying that my sister-in-law’s family is coming.”
After Grandpa Jiang and the others left, Zhang Lei made a phone call.
He looked like a sycophant.
"Hey, Ms. Zhang, don't worry, I've successfully dismissed Jiang Fuhai. Don't worry, they'll be packing their bags and leaving City A soon."
That's right.
Zhang Shuyi is the mastermind behind it all.
She absolutely would not allow anyone to take Cheng Zijun away from her.
and so.
She had to get rid of Jiang Ning.
The first step to getting rid of Jiang Ning was to cut off her financial resources.
The Jiang family's entire income comes from Jiang Fuhai's job as a cleaner. If Jiang Fuhai loses his cleaning job, will Jiang Ning still be able to stay in City A?
It is clear.
No, it's not possible.
“You did a great job,” Zhang Shuyi’s voice came from the other end of the phone. “Don’t worry, I’ll get Song Daqiang to promote you.”
Song Daqiang is Zhang Lei's immediate superior.
"Thank you, Ms. Zhang, thank you so much!" Zhang Lei was extremely excited. "If you ever need my help in the future, just let me know."
As far as he knew, Cheung Suk-yee was a wealthy heiress!
With this big tree by his side, he'll definitely rise higher and higher in the future.
Zhang Lei became increasingly excited, as if he could already see his future of promotion and wealth.

Jiang Ning got home at 2:30 pm.
She is in a good mood.
Humming along, if you listen carefully, you'll find that it's a segment from the Peking Opera "The Lock of the Unicorn".
As soon as Jiang Ning opened the door, she saw Grandpa Jiang cleaning the living room.
She was surprised. "Grandpa, are you on vacation today?"
Grandpa Jiang was afraid that Jiang Ning would worry, so he didn't explain the reason directly. Instead, he said, "Ningning, I've resigned."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Really? You've finally come to your senses!"
Jiang Ning tried countless times to persuade Grandpa Jiang to resign.
But Grandpa Jiang wouldn't listen to a word.
Jiang Ning had no choice but to let the old man do as he pleased.
Unexpectedly, the old man resigned today.
"What? He resigned!" Zhou Jinpeng came out of the room angrily and said, "Ningning, your grandpa has been bullied."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Jiang quickly interrupted him, "Old Zhou, don't talk nonsense."
Were you bullied?
Jiang Ning's expression hardened, and she walked to Zhou Jinpeng's side. "Grandpa Zhou, who bullied my grandfather? You must not hide anything from me."
Grandpa Jiang knew that Zhou Jinpeng was not one to keep secrets, so he didn't reveal Zhang Lei's bullying. However, Zhou Jinpeng sensed that there must be something fishy about Grandpa Jiang's sudden resignation, so he called Ma Gui and Li Qiang to find out what was going on.
That's when I learned the truth.
“I really wasn’t bullied,” Grandpa Jiang said, winking at Zhou Jinpeng. “Old Zhou, Old Zhou, don’t talk nonsense!”
If Jiang Ning finds out about this, it will only create a psychological burden for the child and won't solve the problem.
Moreover, she will be a senior in high school when school starts, and Grandpa Jiang hopes that she will study hard and does not want other things to affect his granddaughter.
But Zhou Jinpeng didn't want his old friend to suffer this injustice for no reason, so he immediately told him everything he knew!
After learning the whole story, Jiang Ning's face remained expressionless. She turned to Grandpa Jiang and asked, "Grandpa, what's the full name of your company?"
