Chapter 110 Ying Zijin: Try Moving It [1st Update]

Upon hearing this, even the shareholders who had come with him changed their expressions.

Not to mention Madam Zhong and Zhong Zhiwan, who didn't even have the right to speak.

Although Zhong Zhiwan was the top student in her second year of high school, she had never been involved in the family business and had no talent for business.

Mrs. Zhong is a full-time housewife. Over the years since she married into the Zhong family, she has been responsible for taking care of Mr. Zhong in the old house.

Not only could she not get a word in edgewise, she was also unaware of the recent stock market volatility at Zhong's Group.

Currently, among the four major wealthy families in Shanghai, the Zhong family's situation is the most unique.

Because only the Zhong family remains, and it is still Old Master Zhong who is in charge.

Both the Ying and Jiang families' patriarchs have passed away, and the groups have been handed over to the next generation.

As for the Fu family, the most prestigious of the four wealthy families, although the old master Fu is still alive, his health is too poor. Apart from still holding the shares, the company has been taken over by Fu Mingcheng's generation.

But the Zhong family is different.

The older Grandpa Zhong gets, the better his health becomes, and the more energetic he becomes.

Especially in the last month, he has been able to carry a bucket of water up ten flights of stairs by himself without even panting, which is more impressive than that of most young men.

Several years ago, some members of the Zhong family were already getting restless.

However, since Mr. Zhong owns 54% of the Zhong Group, he has the final say on all major decisions.

These people had no choice but to hope that they could outlive Old Master Zhong until he died.

After enduring several years with no end in sight, they became even more anxious.

Zhong Tianyun was the one who couldn't wait the longest. He had received the favor of Old Master Zhong, but he was still unwilling to accept it.

If his father hadn't died so young, who knows who would be in charge of the Zhong Group today.

Not to mention, his father died trying to save Grandpa Zhong.

If Mr. Zhong truly feels guilty, then he should be allowed to inherit the Zhong Group.

But Zhong Tianyun waited for more than ten years, and still didn't hear that Old Master Zhong had this intention.

During this time, he also tried to find out what mistakes Mr. Zhong had made.

The previous Weibo incident, in which Mr. Zhong used the official account of the Zhong Group to speak on behalf of an adopted daughter, was already a taboo subject.

Zhong Tianyun just didn't expect that the final result would be good.

Furthermore, the Zhong Group gained considerable goodwill from the public due to Mr. Zhong's statement, and its stock price rose significantly.

Zhong Tianyun waited and waited, and finally the opportunity came.

The prized possession of Jadeite Studio has been lost.

The Zhong Group is facing huge losses, and Mr. Zhong cannot escape blame.

He could use this to force Old Master Zhong to step down, then take over the shares, and the Zhong Group would change hands.

“Tianyun, this is going too far,” one shareholder frowned and spoke up. “Shouldn’t we have found the whereabouts of the treasure first?”

The prized possession of Jadeite Studio is a work by a master carver from fifty years ago, which has been kept by the Zhong family ever since.

This master sculptor carved eighty-eight Buddhas from jadeite that was half a person's height. Such carving techniques can be described as exquisite and unparalleled. In the end, it was named "Ten Directions Realm".

The jadeite itself alone is worth tens of millions.

Not to mention the finished product after being carefully carved by a master sculptor, which is priced at 500 million.

This price is too high. Unless you are very wealthy and have a passion for carving, most people wouldn't buy it.

So for many years, it has been kept in the Jadeite Studio and carefully protected.

So many years have passed, and the Ten Directions Realm has always been fine. No one expected that it would be lost one day.

“Mr. Shi, finding Shifangjie is indeed of paramount importance, but Mr. Eugene has already arrived in Shanghai.” Zhong Tianyun remained unmoved. “The contracts have already been signed, and we must give an explanation first.”

As he spoke, he looked at the cold and stern-faced old man Zhong and smiled again: "Besides, only the old man has any influence in the Zhong Group, right?"

Upon hearing this, the shareholder Shi remained silent.

This time, the company that bought Shifangjie is a multinational corporation from O continent, which also has businesses in China.

The Zhong Group is not even among the top ten in China, so how could it possibly compare to a multinational corporation?

Only if Old Master Zhong goes and makes a guarantee can the other party not target the Zhong Group, and they will also have time to search for the whereabouts of the Ten Directions Realm.

“There’s nothing more to say.” Zhong Tianyun glanced at Madam Zhong and her daughter Zhong Zhiwan with disdain. “Old Master, none of your sons are here. You have to come with us today, no matter what.”

These bodyguards were brought by Zhong Tianyun and were extremely skilled.

Dealing with a young person is easy, let alone an old person.

Zhong Zhiwan had never seen anything like this before and panicked immediately: "Grandpa..."

"Wanwan, don't be impulsive." Madam Zhong held her daughter down and said in a low voice, "Your grandfather is still the chairman of the Zhong Group. They can't possibly do anything."

Besides, even if they went up there, what could they possibly do?

The worst-case scenario is that they will both be arrested.

Zhong Tianyun didn't take the mother and daughter seriously either. He waved his hand impatiently: "Take them away. Anyone who tries to stop us, take them away too."

Zhong Zhiwan covered her mouth with both hands, not daring to cry out loud.

The butler, Mr. Zhong, was also extremely anxious, but he was also restrained by the two bodyguards and could not even make a phone call for help.

Just as Butler Zhong was about to watch helplessly as the bodyguards arrested Old Master Zhong, a cold, quiet voice fell from outside the door.

It looked like pearls and jade scattered all over the ground.

It's like the wind blowing across a lake, suddenly freezing a layer of ice.

"You can give it a try."

The girl pushed the door open and entered from the outside. She was wearing a simple hoodie and trousers, and a baseball cap to shield her head from the sun.

She was backlit, her eyebrows and eyes hidden in the halo, hazy and indistinct.

Zhong Zhiwan looked up and was stunned.

It's the weekend, and Grandpa Zhong didn't call again, so why did Ying Zijing come on her own initiative?

Upon seeing the girl, Grandpa Zhong's expression finally changed, and he became anxious: "Zijin, why are you here at this time? Your grandfather has something to attend to. Come another day."

He's old enough to have lived long enough; he can't drag the younger generation into this.

Zhong Tianyun harbored ill intentions from the start; who knows what else he might do?

Ying Zijing did not leave; she nodded and smiled faintly, "Grandpa."

"Who are you?" Zhong Tianyun frowned, clearly displeased. "When did the Zhong family acquire someone like this?"

At least this face, once seen, can never be forgotten.

“She’s not a member of the Zhong family; she’s the adopted daughter of the Ying family,” Madam Zhong said coldly. “Tianyun, the old man is still your elder, and what you’ve done is utterly disrespectful.”

"So this is the adopted daughter?" Zhong Tianyun ignored the second half of Madam Zhong's sentence and sneered. "I thought she was something special. Old man, you're really confused."

Old Master Zhong roared, "Zhong Tianyun, shut your rotten mouth!"

When Zhong Zhiwan saw that even at this moment, Grandpa Zhong was still defending Ying Zijin, she felt uneasy.

She pinched her palm and said calmly, "Cousin, I know you mean well for Grandpa, but you can't help at all. Can you please stop making things worse?"

Even Grandpa Zhong was helpless, so what could Ying Zijin do?

“Oh, old man, your granddaughter is quite something.” Zhong Tianyun clicked his tongue in amazement. “Even an adopted daughter knows to stop me, but your granddaughter not only sits there without moving, but also makes sarcastic remarks about her cousin.”

"Even I, an outsider, can't stand it anymore. Is this the kind of upbringing your family has?"

Zhong Zhiwan's face flushed red, tears welled up in her eyes, and her body trembled.

Her inner thoughts were suddenly exposed, which made her feel extremely humiliated. She couldn't even lift her head and didn't dare to look at Grandpa Zhong.

Ying Zijing didn't speak; she rolled up her sleeves.

"What are you trying to do?" Zhong Tianyun shook her head. "You don't really think that just because you're a little girl, you can..."

The rest of his words were choked by screams, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Ying Zijing was still stepping on a bodyguard's arm. Hearing this, she turned her head, seemingly smiling, but her expression was indifferent and cool: "Hmm? What can you do?"

Grandpa Zhong was shocked: "..."

Good heavens, is his granddaughter really that amazing?

How come he didn't notice?

Grandpa Zhong rubbed his eyes, seriously doubting whether his presbyopia had worsened again, as he hadn't even seen how the bodyguards had fallen down.

Zhong Zhiwan's eyes widened in disbelief.

Madam Zhong hadn't expected that Ying Zijing would take care of those seven or eight bodyguards so easily.

In just a few seconds.

this……

"Very good, very good. No wonder you're so bold; you do have some skill." After his initial shock, Zhong Tianyun was furious. "You think you can stop me like this?"

Ying Zijing remained indifferent, ignoring her completely.

She kicked the bodyguard on the ground, turned her head, and looked towards the door.
