Chapter 130 Don't be fooled by Zhong Yan's apparent affection for me; ignore his ruthless side.

Zhong Yan thought for a moment, "It's not impossible."

"No!" Suddenly, someone interrupted them. The one who interrupted Zhong Yan was Qian Ang, the chairman of the supervisory board of Zhongheng Group, who was also one of the people who came to negotiate. The reason he was sent was because the supervisory board has the right to supervise the directors, which was to prevent Zhong Yan from using the interests of Zhongheng Group to win the favor of a beauty.

The last time, the 6% transfer was done quietly, catching the board of directors off guard. This was because he was an individual shareholder of Zidian Technology, and there was no obligation to report to the board of directors for the transfer of shares. However, the initial funding came from Zhongheng Group.

Taking advantage of this loophole, Zhong Yan gave away 6% of the shares. The Zhongheng Group's board of directors only learned of this from a report disclosed by the Ji family.

So this time, the board of directors discussed it and decided that they couldn't let Zhong Yan come alone, otherwise their group would have worked for nothing all year and used it all to help Zhong Yan support his wife.

Even though Zhong Yan is a major shareholder, he can't be treated so casually. So, Qian Ang, the chairman of the supervisory board, came and kept an eye on Zhong Yan.

Qian Ang: "Chairman, if you continue like this, how will you explain it to the board of directors?"

Zhong Yan raised his eyes and clicked his tongue, "Sit down. It's just Zidian. Look how scared you are. It's like I'm going to send Zhong Heng away."

Chen Hanwen looked at both sides and said, "Everyone's here, shall we begin?"

Chen Hanwen adjusted his glasses and exchanged a glance with the lawyer Zhong Yan had brought. The other party was Ms. Anna, a well-known corporate legal counsel in the industry. Her team was known as the "Invincible Legal Team of the East." Whether as the defendant or the plaintiff, Zhong Heng Group rarely lost a case.

You received a prepared reply from the other party.

Chen Hanwen then stated, "Regarding the division of property between Ms. Ji and Mr. Zhong, both parties agree to base it primarily on the prenuptial agreement. This meeting will mainly focus on negotiating the changes in the property situation after the signing of the agreement, with the aim of reaching a mutually satisfactory distribution plan through friendly consultation while adhering to the prenuptial agreement."

"Our demand is to acquire an additional 11% stake through purchase, thus securing an absolute controlling stake of 67%. This is the only solution to ensure the company's efficiency."

Anna glanced at Zhong Yan, whose expression was unreadable with his eyes downcast, and then said, "If the Ji family is willing to acquire 11% of the shares at a 30% premium per share."

Ji Tanyuan spoke first, "30%? Why don't you just rob me?"

Zhong Yan: "The subsequent appreciation of Zidian's market value will definitely be more than 30%. I have already taken a step back and only retained 33% of the shares. This is a huge loss, my wife."

Ji Tanyuan glanced at Chen Hanwen, then thought for a moment and said directly:

"Then I require you to sign an irrevocable proxy, retaining only the company's economic interests."

Anna's expression changed, which meant that Zhong Yan was going to irrevocably entrust the voting rights of the shares under his name to the Ji family for exercise within the agreed conditions and time limit.

Zhong Yan chuckled: "Add money."

Ji Tanyuan gritted her teeth: "I'm not adding any more, it's already 30%! Where else do you want to add? Besides, even if you have 33%, it still can't beat my 67%."

Zhong Yan said "Oh", "Since you can't beat me, why do you want me to delegate my voting rights?"

“I have a strong desire for control,” Ji Tanyuan said.

Zhong Yan shook his head, somewhat regretfully: "I didn't feel anything."

Zhong Yan glanced at the others and said, "How about this, let's add a clause to the terms, a performance-based compensation clause: if the performance target is not met, Zhong Heng's cash compensation will be doubled."

Ji Tanyuan and Zhong Yan haggled back and forth, while the others became mere spectators.

In terms of professional knowledge, both of them are experts; in terms of shamelessness, they are also experts.

Two hours later, they finally came up with a reasonable solution.

It can barely be considered "peaceful".

Anna stood up. "The divorce agreement will be drafted and sent to you both as soon as possible based on this result. I will arrange the senior management meeting of Zidian Technology as soon as possible."

"I will put together a plan as soon as possible regarding the details of the subsequent public announcement and the cooperation in public relations procedures between the two parties."

Ji Tanyuan nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

Soon only the two of them remained in the conference room. Zhong Yan grabbed Ji Tanyuan's hand and pulled her into his arms, then kissed her while holding her chin.

Ji Tanyuan grunted twice, "Zhong Yan."

As Ji Tanyuan opened her mouth, the man caught up and grabbed her waist with his other hand to prevent her from escaping.

Finally, Ji Tanyuan's lips became even redder, and her eyes were filled with shimmering water.

“You promised, you can’t break up with me,” Zhong Yan said.

Ji Tanyuan looked up, her voice slightly hoarse from speaking:

"Your father didn't object to your divorce, does he have other plans?"

Zhong Yan's eyes flashed, then he smiled and gently rubbed her earlobe. "You're so smart. So, don't get too close to the Shen family, okay?"

Ji Tanyuan stared at him for a long time. Zhong Yan remained calm, but there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes, though it was only a little bit genuine.

She stood up, straightened her clothes, and said calmly, "Let's sign the divorce papers as soon as possible, and then we'll arrange a time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

He then turned and left.

Zhong Yan watched the person leave, remaining silent for a long time. The once lively conference room suddenly fell silent, even feeling a bit cold.

He sat alone in the conference room, looking at the spot where Ji Tanyuan had just been sitting. His expression was unreadable, neither sad nor indifferent; it seemed more like an empty void.

He looked down at the wedding ring on his hand, turned it around, and then gently kissed it.

Then I slowly took it off and put it in my pocket.

Ji Tanyuan entered the office, where Chen Hanwen was already sitting and waiting: "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Chen."

Chen Hanwen smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Zhong still has some genuine feelings for you."

Ji Tanyuan paused for a moment, "Yes, but not entirely."

Chen Hanwen sighed: "It's rare to find some genuine affection between you two. After all, you can't have your cake and eat it too. It's not wrong for him to fight for profits, since he has to be responsible to Zhongheng Group."

Ji Tanyuan hummed in agreement. "I'm not angry. However, I've discovered something even more surprising: the Zhong family hasn't been overly obstructing my divorce."

"Uncle Chen, if you were to find out that I have parted ways with the Zhong family, what would you say?"

Chen Hanwen thought about it. He didn't know much about their officialdom, so as a relevant insider standing outside the core, his intuitive feeling from this operation was that the Zhong family had problems. Therefore, Ji Tanyuan felt there was a risk and directly cut ties.

This is the first conclusion drawn by people in the entertainment industry from this news. Coupled with the money laundering case involving Dingkun Capital and entertainment stars that suddenly broke out earlier, it is easy to associate this with the fact that the Zhong family has problems, which is why Ji Tanyuan left.

Ji Tanyuan's actions as the daughter-in-law of the Zhong family send a negative message to the outside world.

He thought, then what about the Shen family? Would the Shen family also feel that there were problems within the Zhong family, which is why Ji Tanyuan left early?

Chen Hanwen looked up. "You mean, the Zhong family didn't stop you; they were just playing along?"

They tricked the Shen family into believing that something was really wrong with the Zhong family, thus luring them into a trap.

Ji Tanyuan hummed in response, her tone neither too soft nor too soft: "My ex-father-in-law was very powerful."

Realizing she couldn't stop it, she might use this as an excuse to her advantage, since she hadn't seen any clear clarification from Dingkun Capital yet. However, she knew very well that Dingkun Capital was no longer in trouble, so she could only say that Zhong Yan was deliberately not clarifying things to see who would jump in.

It seems they've discussed a lot over the past two weeks.

"So as a descendant of the Zhong family, don't be fooled by Zhong Yan's apparent affection for me and overlook his ruthless side."

The other side of Zhong Yan is the real Zhong Yan, the helmsman of large assets, and the invisible operator in the financial industry.

Zhong Yan never showed too much scheming in front of her, always appearing casual and nonchalant, but he was also the one who worked late into the night, and could go to the study for meetings after sleeping with her.

Just because he doesn't reveal his intentions to her doesn't mean he doesn't. Ji Tanyuan has never forgotten this. There is genuine affection, but there is also scheming involved.

Despite being much older than Ji Tanyuan, Chen Hanwen still felt a chill run down his spine after being guided by her. The water here was deeper than he had imagined, and once he got wet, he might never dry.

"So, what's your next step?"

Ji Tanyuan looked out the window, "Shen Xichen will definitely test me."
