Ji Tanyuan tr...

Chapter 97 The Ji Family Foundation is withdrawing its support for the Ji family. Do you think that's acceptable?

Chapter 97 The Ji Family Foundation is withdrawing its support for the Ji family. Do you think that's acceptable?

Ji Tanyuan's words caused a great stir among the group.

She said the season wasn't important, but how could it not be important?

It's not important to say it at the Ji Family Ancestral Hall.

Uncle Ji's face flushed red. He stood up, his hands trembling, his chest heaving. He looked at Ji Tanyuan as if she were a rebellious and unfilial son.

"you……"

Was Ji Tanyuan afraid? She didn't need the Ji family's approval, so she watched them make a fool of themselves as if it were a show.

"Ji Qing, is this the good daughter you raised! Is this the qualified heir you spoke of?"

"Look at what you're saying, isn't it important?"

"If you're not important, get out! You think you can get into the family tree? Wishful thinking."

Ji Tanyuan lowered her eyes. "Uncle, is it alright for the Ji family foundation to withdraw its support for the Ji family?"

She smiled and said, "I'd rather use that money to buy a few bags; they'd appreciate in value much more than if I invested it here."

Everyone was shocked. Ji Ting sneered, "You think you can call the shots? The Ji Group is called the Ji Group. If it's not from the Ji family, where is it from?"

She took a few steps back and looked at her father. Ji Qing's expression was not good. He met Ji Tanyuan's gaze and saw indifference and mockery in Ji Tanyuan's eyes.

Ji Tanyuan spoke calmly, "The Ji family is the Ji family, and the Ji Corporation is the Ji Corporation. The Ji Corporation has never been a family business."

“The Ji family speaks with their shares, with my father’s direct bloodline and mine, while you all are just an insignificant branch of the family fund.”

“If this amount of money can’t buy me peace of mind, then I will consider taking back these expenses.”

After she finished speaking, she looked at the group of people and said, "Have a good New Year, I'm leaving now."

Ji Qing watched Ji Tanyuan leave...

The chairman of the Ji family council looked at Ji Qing and said, "Ji Qing, Tan Yuan may not be suitable to be an heir."

Ji Qing looked in the direction his daughter had left, without saying a word.

Ji Tanyuan's third uncle, Ji Sen, said at this moment, "Let's think about it again, Uncle. Things are different now. People don't pay too much attention to gender issues anymore. There are so many outstanding women. As long as Tanyuan can lead the Ji family to make money, isn't that enough?"

The man sneered: "I'm afraid that in the end the Ji family won't even bear the surname Ji!"

Ji Qing looked at the person who had just spoken to him and said his first words: "If Huanghuang doesn't want to go in, then she doesn't have to. But don't worry, the Ji family will continue to donate to the clan."

The chairman was shocked: a donation?

How can it be defined as a donation? Once it becomes a donation, there is a possibility that it will not be donated in the future.

After Ji Qing left, everyone stared at Ji Ting, urging him to persuade Ji Qing, since Ji Qing used to listen to his older brother the most.

Ji Ting clenched his fists, but he still agreed on the surface. However, he knew that things had changed.

Or perhaps he has finally realized that Ji Qing has never listened to him.

They have never compromised on important matters.

Ji Qing held onto the group's shares, then gave 21% to Ji Tanyuan, keeping the remaining 30% for himself. He thought he would pass on this 30% to the eldest grandson of the Ji family, to someone who could carry on the Ji family line.

But after Shen Xichen's guidance, he realized that he was nothing.

In the end, I got nothing.

Ji Yu and Ji Sen exchanged a glance. Ji Sen sighed, "Brother, you need to rest well too. Spend more time with your wife and Yingying. The company is here, and we can't run away anytime soon. Don't overwork yourself or get too excited."

Ji Yu put his hands in his pockets, then looked at the chairman of the council, "So, next in line, shouldn't it be Ji Zhan's turn as the eldest grandson of our branch?"

No sooner had he said that than Ji Ting roared, "Ji Yu! Have you no shame? I'm not dead yet, I have a son, and you want to replace your older brother right now?"

Ji Yu: "Brother, I'm telling the truth. Even your eldest son is younger than A-Zhan."

"You're talking nonsense! I'm the eldest son, only my child can be the eldest grandson, Ji Zhan can forget about it."

Ji Yu was also unwilling, "Since everyone is here, let's talk about this. We were born to the same parents, and my child is now the eldest grandchild. Why can't he be the eldest grandchild?"

Just as one problem was about to subside, another arose. Uncle Ji hadn't recovered from Ji Tanyuan's "insult" when they started arguing again. He tapped the ground with his cane and said, "Enough!"

"Let's discuss this in a hundred days!"

He looked at Ji Ting and said, "You should advise Ji Qing that it's not appropriate for a girl to manage such a large corporation. He's still young and can have another child."

"I'm doing all this for the future of the Ji family."

“Yes, I think so too. It’s not that Tan Yuan isn’t excellent, but she’s married. What if she has a child with the Zhong family in the future? It’s safer for such a large corporation to raise a boy.” Someone echoed.

Ji Tanyuan's attitude just now is enough to show her attitude towards the clan. It can only be said that the future is hard to predict, and she will not stand with them. She is too selfish, too focused on personal interests, and does not consider clan sentiments.

This is a major taboo in the family, especially since this person is the one who will inherit the family wealth, which is even more detrimental to them.

The room gradually returned to calm. The argument had subsided, and the Ji family members began to unite again, working together to prevent Ji Tanyuan from inheriting the Ji family business.

Ji Sen remained silent, as did a few others. They did not object to Ji Tanyuan taking control of the company; on this issue of succession, there was no doubt that Ji Tanyuan was more qualified. The Ji family's reasons were completely untenable, and they had no say in the group's affairs, unable to make any decisions at all.

However, Ji Tanyuan's bargaining chips were real: assets, equity, connections, resource channels, and customer base.

Ji Qing never stopped Ji Tanyuan's efforts in this regard, and his attitude was obvious.

Some people are still trapped in the constraints of clan supremacy, forgetting that the rules of the outside world of fame and fortune have long since changed.

As Ji Tanyuan went out, she passed by Tian Ruomei, Ji Yingying, and others. Tian Ruomei wiped away her tears and stood in front of Ji Tanyuan.

"Ziqian is dead, why aren't you sad?" Tian Ruomei's hatred was intense, her eyes filled with bloodshot veins.

Ji Tanyuan lowered her eyes, "Do I have to cry because I'm sad? Aunt, aren't you sad when you're not crying?"

Ji Tanyuan bowed, "Please accept my condolences."

She then tried to leave, but Tian Ruomei wouldn't let her go, saying, "Ziqian is leaving because of the farce in your family."

Ji Tanyuan turned her head and said, "Auntie, that's not what we said before. My brother used to treat the Ji family as his own, but now he doesn't anymore?"

“The wronged have their culprits and the debtors their creditors. I have no reason to do this. Even if he were alive, I would still inherit the Ji family name.”

"If I kill someone over inheritance issues, then the entire Ji family will be my enemies. How could I possibly kill them all?"

Ji Ziqian posed less of a risk to her than Zhong Yan did, and Ji Tanyuan never really considered letting him die.

"Yes, but Ji Zhihe did exist. Don't you want to know how the real Ji Zhihe died?" Tian Ruomei said in a frenzied manner.

Ji Tanyuan parted her thin lips slightly: "My mother went mad after losing a son. Aunt, do you want to go through the same thing?"

Tian Ruomei laughed, her eyes now filled with a strange excitement. "If I could, I'd like to go crazy once too."

The more Ji Tanyuan acted this way, the more Tian Ruomei hated him!

She resented their calmness; only she truly felt heartbroken for Ziqian.

Ji Tanyuan took half a step forward, then turned back and whispered in her ear:

"It's best not to. Your uncle won't protect you like my father protected my mother."

“At that time, a new mother and child will replace you and Yingying.”

Those two sentences were like an invisible hand gripping Tian Ruomei's neck, stopping her hysteria and crazy thoughts.

Ji Qing's men stopped Ji Tanyuan's car and stepped forward, saying, "Miss, the chairman wants you to come over and go home together."

Ji Tanyuan did not get out of the car. "Let's take our own cars separately. I'll go home and we'll talk when I get there."

The bodyguard stood there, watching the car drive away.

Ji Tanyuan lowered her head and sent a message to Zhong Yan saying that she had left.

Zhong Yan was in a private room at the club when he received Ji Tanyuan's text message. He glanced at it casually and then put his phone away.

"Young Master Shen summoned me here just for this?"
