The Substitute Bride: Indulged by the Obsessive CEO

Chapter 471 - 471: The Allegedly Overbearing Woman

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Jiang Jingchen hadn’t studied the salary he would be paid as the chairman of Jiang Corporation.

He turned to look at his wife. “How much do you think I’ll be paid?”

Tang Beibei made a bold guess. “At least 100,000 yuan a month?”

“… Guess again.”

He figured that if she accepted him as the chairman of Jiang Corporation, she wouldn’t be too angry when she found out about his other identities, right?

But he must never let her find out about the lies he had told her in the past.

Tang Beibei frowned. She felt that someone who earned 100,000 yuan a month was already very impressive.

“More than a hundred thousand yuan? 200,000?”

200,000 a month meant 2.4 million yuan a year. That was a lot of money!

Jiang Jingchen felt like telling her that she should add two more zeros to that number.

But he held back when he saw her surprised expression.

“… Something like that.”

“Wow, hubby, you’re amazing!” Tang Beibei exclaimed.

But she suddenly thought of something and asked worriedly, “Will your job as the chairman be very demanding? Will you have to work late into the night every day?”

“Occasionally.”

Working overtime was nothing new to him. The business he had built so far was built brick-by-brick, working day and night.

Overtime was most definitely expected since the to-be Bei Yi International still had many problems that required solutions.

Tang Beibei sighed. “You have to work overtime, huh? Please be careful and not over exhaust yourself. My teacher told us in class about a few cases in his department where patients dropped dead suddenly from overworking.”

Jiang Jingchen chuckled and reached out to scratch her chin, which was their special intimate touch.

“You can be my accountability partner. If I work late into the night too often, you can scold Song Zhou for arranging so much work for me!”

Tang Beibei nodded. Work would never be done, and he shouldn’t burn himself out.

The two of them went to Fu Jin’s dance studio.

Fu Jin was conducting a training camp for his trainees, which included subjects like dance, singing, basic photogenic skills and poise and deportment.

Fang Han was their instructor for poise and deportment.

Fu Jin had put in a lot of effort to find them the right instructors.

Fang Han asked the trainees to stand in front of the mirror for half an hour so that they could remember the feeling of standing gracefully before she let them walk.

Class schedule was tight, and Fang Han’s standards were high.

Ye Lan didn’t take Fang Han seriously. She slouched when she walked and even asked Fang Han ridiculous questions at times just to provoke her.

Fang Han glanced at her and answered whatever she could and couldn’t be bothered with what she couldn’t.

An hour into her class, Fang Han looked at the lazy trainees expressionlessly but did not scold them.

Instead, she divided the class into two teams: Team A and Team B.

Tang Beibei was in Team A.

Fang Han got a long wooden ruler and followed behind Team A.

If there was a slight mistake, her ruler would come down on them. Everyone was very nervous.

Fang Han put the ruler on Tang Beibei’s shoulder as she said, “Look straight ahead. When you walk on the stage, don’t look at your feet. Look straight ahead and keep your shoulders relaxed. You must look confident.”

Tang Beibei was so nervous that she almost held her breath when she walked forward with a smile.

The trainees were all adults. It was a little embarrassing when the teacher disciplined them using a ruler.

However, Fang Han did not care about their feelings. She just hit them with the ruler if they made a mistake.

When the trainee’s walk was satisfactory, she would put a book on their head. If the book fell, she would hit them with the ruler again.

Almost all seven members of Team A got hit by the ruler. It was as if she was picking on them. The trainees in Team A started to wonder if they had offended Fang Han.

Meanwhile, the trainees in Team B looked on and laughed at the Team A trainees who got hit.

There were also seven trainees in Team B, but Fang Han didn’t seem to care about them.

They were slacking off, drinking water by the side, and watching. Fang Han just smiled and didn’t say anything. She then turned around and hit Tang Beibei on the shoulder with her ruler.

“Eyes. Don’t tilt your head.”

She spoke very sternly, like a coach from hell.

Tang Beibei grimaced but didn’t argue. She continued to walk obediently.

The special treatment Tang Beibei got from Fang Han made her think that she must have done something wrong and angered Fang Han.

Fu Jin saw Fang Han’s preferential treatment from upstairs. He raised his eyebrows and called out.

“Teacher Fang Han?”

Although Fu Jin was upstairs looking down at the studio, the way Fang Han looked up at him was very oppressive.

She said expressionlessly, “I’m the instructor, I’m in charge. If you have any comments, you come and teach.”

Fu Jin had heard from the grapevine that Fang Han was an extremely overbearing person.

But she wasn’t like that at all when she was alone with him. She was adorable and always acted cute with him.

He now knew what the allegedly overbearing woman was like.

She was quite formidable.

He chuckled helplessly and turned around to do his own thing.

Downstairs in the studio, Ye Lan was feeling frustrated after being left out while Xi Tong, who was standing beside her, was enjoying the drama.

“What’s Fang Han doing picking on Tang Beibei like that? Is this a meeting between love rivals?”

“Tsk, tsk, I really pity Tang Beibei. However much her husband doted on her is given in equal amounts by Fang Han, but in torture. Serves her right!”

“See how her shoulders have turned red from all the beating? It must be very painful.” Xi Tong mocked. There was no sympathy on her face at all. She was gloating.

Ye Lan said with a cold face, “Fang Han only teachers them and not us. Her favoritism is too obvious. What’s more maddening is our captain tolerating her impetuous actions.”

Ye Lan was indeed no match for Fang Han, but Fang Han was four years older than her. In four years’ time, she would be as good if not better than Fang Han!

Ye Lan still saw the person she liked every day. Why would she willingly give up on her crush?

Every day when she saw the outstanding Fu Jin, her imagination would run wild. She imagined that he would break up with Fang Han one day and be with her!

However, Xi Tong didn’t care about what she said at all. “Fang Han torturing Tang Beibei isn’t a bad thing for us. Let’s just enjoy the drama.”

Two hours later, Fang Han announced that class was over.

Tang Beibei rotated her neck and quickly took a sip of water.

Seeing that Fang Han was keeping the ruler, she got a glass of warm water and offered it to her carefully.

Fang Han took the water and took a sip. “Afraid of me?”

“No, no, I’m not afraid. It’s just that you suddenly became serious. However, the stricter you are, the more attentive you are to our posture and help us correct things in time. It’s all good.”

“You’re quite optimistic.”

Fang Han finished the water in the glass and gave the glass to Tang Beibei. “Get me another glass.”

“Sure.”

Tang Beibei poured her another glass of water and couldn’t help but praise, “Fang Han, you have such great poise when you walk the runway. You look so good!”

Fang Han continued to drink the water as she replied very slowly with a hint of nonchalance, “I started ballet lessons when I was four and hosting lessons when I was six along with etiquette, deportment and catwalking. Someone asked me to become a prima ballerina when I was eight but I was more interested in becoming a model.”

“I debut as a professional model at the age of 10 and won the junior catwalk competition when I was 12.1 started walking adult shows at the age of 16, and won the international catwalk competition in the adult category when I was 18.

I also took part in a beauty contest that year and won the championship.”

“I graduated from university when I was 19, founded my own studio when I was 20 and made 300 million yuan in revenue in the first year.”

“I started expanding my business in the second year and my former competitors started putting on shows for my clothes. They worked for me and called me boss.”

“If I didn’t have great poise and no one appreciated my beauty, do you think I deserve all this glory?”

Tang Beibei gulped, shocked by Fang Han’s achievements.

When the slacker trainees heard her words, they stared at her in surprise.

They probably wouldn’t achieve any one of Fang Han’s achievements in their lifetime.

They looked at her with envy, admiration, in awe…

But Ye Lan clenched her fists in anger as she sneered, “Well, if her family is rich, she would still enjoy a life of glory and wealth even if she did nothing.”

Fang Han’s words weren’t only for Tang Beibei, but also for Ye Lan.

Fang Han let out a chuckle. “Life of glory and wealth, huh?”

“The tuition fees and dolls that I bought when I was six were all paid for by my job as a trash collector. I even set up a street stall to sell my toys that year because I wanted a dress.”

“I haven’t used a single cent of my family’s money since I was eight.”

“Me standing here as your instructor today was definitely not a life of glory and wealth!”

Ye Lan looked at her in shock.

She collected trash when she was six?

Wasn’t Fang Han’s family very rich? Wasn’t she a second-generation heir?

Fang Han stared at Ye Lan as she said, “Fu Jin paid me to come here not to listen to your complaints or watch you throw hissy fits!”

Fang Han became a renowned female entrepreneur at the age of 24 not because she was a second-generation heir, but because she was capable.

Ye Lan and a few other trainees looked ashamed.

But Ye Lan was stubborn and refused to admit defeat. She just stood there with a long and dark face.

Fang Han saw that she was still stubborn. She had already given this girl a chance but she didn’t want it.

She turned around and said to the seven members of Team A, “Practice some more on your own. I’ll let you walk a real runway tomorrow.. Not only will you get paid, but you can also test your courage!”
