Chapter 911: Has Ayin been here before?
Old Mr. and Mrs. Liang recalled that while those people congratulated them on the surface, very few of them actually agreed when they invited them out.
The Chu family withdrew from the real estate sector, but such a rapid withdrawal could lead to market instability and chaos. As a result, someone had to take over the assets they no longer wanted. However, the Chu family couldn't just withdraw immediately, so many people were watching. If someone took over now, the company name would change, but the people and money inside would still belong to the Chu family. In other words, the profits for the first year would belong to the Chu family, and the person who took over would only be considered the one starting next year.
The person who takes over won't lose money either. When the Chu family finishes halfway through a project, they will be sold to them at a low price first. Some people are afraid that the Chu family members will not leave cleanly, and some people are worried that they will not make any money in this thing for a year and will be stuck with it.
The Chu family's current situation was not ideal, but because of Chu Yan, and because the real estate market was booming and easily targeted by foreign forces, their superiors instructed them to temporarily avoid the limelight. In particular, after learning that Chu Yan had taken over two major families, they immediately ordered the Chu family to quickly and discreetly withdraw and continue focusing on their core businesses.
Many people admired the Liang family for taking on this task, but their subsequent actions became somewhat unacceptable.
It's only been half a year, and those profits still belong to the Chu family. It's just that the company's financial statements are under the name of the new company, which is required and permitted by the higher-ups. Everyone knows this, but the Liang family seems to be unaware of it. They take the Chu family's achievements and claim them as their own. During the boom period of real estate, the profits were considerable that year. They attributed all that money to themselves. The Chu family doesn't mind, after all, the new company is indeed theirs. As long as the money is theirs, the empty title doesn't matter.
The Chu family didn't care, but they became increasingly audacious, constantly attacking the Chu family online, saying that the Chu family had fallen on hard times and should relinquish their position as the richest family. They even accused Chu Yan of treason, saying that such a family should still be the richest, which was shameful. I don't know if they talked so much that they convinced themselves or what, but they used the Chu family's achievements to claim the title of the richest family. It's laughable.
But they were oblivious to their own situation, and no one else said anything. Everyone was just watching. This incident caused a stir among many people. Without the Chu family's support, the real estate market might collapse. The Liang family's behavior didn't seem very good either, and the government would have to intervene later, so there would be no profit to be made. Therefore, no one said anything, letting the Liang family entertain themselves.
Gu Yin was just looking at her phone when she asked Li Li and Tie Mao to investigate the Liang family.
Seeing the strange expressions on their faces, Gu Yin raised an eyebrow: "By the way, have your grandsons paid their taxes for those entertainment companies? He's always in the gossip news, you probably don't even know where their companies are located! Why don't you call and ask? This kind of trash dares to compare himself to Chu Yan? Aren't you ashamed of what you're saying?"
The three of them looked uncomfortable. Old Master Liang hated it most when people said that he was the richest man by stealing, and he also hated it most when people said that his grandson was not doing his job properly. Gu Yin had stepped on both of his landmines!
He raised his cane to strike Gu Yin's arm.
Gu Yin didn't even need the captain beside her to help. She reached out and gently grabbed it, saying, "Are you angry because you're embarrassed? Your magnanimity is nothing compared to my grandfather's. The real is the real, and the fake is fake no matter how arrogant it is!" After saying that, she pulled the cane and threw it on the ground.
"You! How dare you!" Old Man Liang trembled with rage!
The old lady next to her pointed at Gu Yin and angrily cursed, "Isn't she just a little bitch who was abandoned by Chu Yan? You're helping that traitor, you're no better than him!"
Gu Yin's eyes lit up: "You have a discerning eye! You're right! I'm really not a good person! I hit old people just the same way. Don't believe me? Try pointing at me again!"
The old lady immediately withdrew her hand: "She really is a country bumpkin. Even after she became a real heiress, she was still unsophisticated and ill-mannered. No wonder she was abandoned. I don't know what the shipping magnate was thinking. He actually abandoned his granddaughter who grew up by his side and chose such an ill-mannered one."
Gu Yin laughed: "It's been so many years since anyone mentioned my background. Since you want to know, I'll ask you."
After saying that, he immediately dialed Zhou Wansheng's number.
Zhou Wansheng's voice came from the other end very quickly: "Are you home?"
Gu Yin turned on the speakerphone: "Yes, Grandpa, there is a newly rich man here! His wife wants to ask you, are you out of your mind? How could you turn down a well-mannered fake heiress and choose me, a country bumpkin with no manners?"
Zhou Wansheng fell silent on the other end of the phone.
Grandma Liang panicked: "That's not what I meant! I..."
"Which Liang family? The newly crowned richest man? Is that important? If it is, I'll have your brother consolidate your assets and get you a title to play with too. But, my dear granddaughter, let me tell you, that's all fake stuff. We're an old aristocratic family. Can't we just not have those embarrassing things? It's so embarrassing to say them out loud. They'll make us sound like nouveau riche!"
"Cough cough cough!" The old man Chu next to him felt more and more uncomfortable listening to this. What kind of talk was this? What's going on? Are they nouveau riche?
Zhou Wansheng paused for a moment, then continued, "You can't say that. Being the richest person means they know how to make money and have a brain! There's a difference between them and nouveau riche. As for the Liang family, what does it matter to you who I choose? Go play in the mud if you're too full! Don't you know my granddaughter is busy all day long?! Bye!"
After saying that, he hurriedly hung up the phone.
Gu Yin could tell from his tone that he was feeling guilty and embarrassed to face Mr. Chu.
Grandpa Chu shook his head helplessly. Ever since Old Zhou went to Dabai Mountain, he has become increasingly unsteady.
The two elders of the Liang family were furious at Zhou Wansheng's words, but they were quite surprised that he did nothing after hanging up the phone.
"Looks like the shipping magnate isn't so good to you after all."
Gu Yin smiled and held up her fingers: "5, 4, 3, 2, 1."
"What do you mean? You..."
Before Mrs. Liang could finish speaking, Mr. Liang's phone rang.
"What? Why won't you cooperate? Weren't we agreed on something? The deposit has already been paid! Breach of contract means paying a penalty! What? You'd rather pay the penalty than cooperate? All five of you are like this? What are you all good for! I'm going back right now! You're all a bunch of useless trash!"
After hanging up the phone, the man didn't even glance at them, picked up his cane, and quickly walked towards the front yard.
"Did you do this?!" Old Mrs. Liang questioned Gu Yin.
Gu Yin reached out to support Old Madam Chu and sneered, "If you bark like a dog next time you see the Chu family, don't blame me for breaking the beam in the cold. I'll experience what it's like to be the richest and most powerful CEO."
"You! Hmph! Let's go!"
The two immediately followed Mr. Liang's pace.
After the two left, Gu Yin looked at Mr. Chu and asked, "Do they often bully you like this? Or rather, do you often encounter this situation?"
The old man smiled and said, "Not many, after all, our family has the capital. But there are always some ignorant people who will make a few noises. It doesn't matter. We know our strength, and we also know that if we are bullied now, we will definitely treat Ah Yan better, because that is more real."
Gu Yin sighed helplessly, “We shouldn’t indulge these people who take advantage of us. It’s nice for respectable people to be a little less respectable sometimes. My grandfather is like that now. Look how happy he is.”
The old man nodded: "Alright! I'll listen to you! If anyone dares to be so blind again, I'll make sure they're punished severely!"
"puff!"
"Ha ha!"
Gu Yin and Old Madam Chu couldn't help but laugh.
The four entered the meditation room. The team leader was quite interested in the Taoist temple. After learning that Gu Yin was staying there, he followed the young Taoist priest to take a look.
Fate is truly amazing; the quiet room where the two elders of the Chu family stayed was actually the one she used to stay in.
Every time she came to see Gu Hua, she would stay here for a whole day.
Gu Yin casually took out the tea set from the cabinet and personally brewed tea for the two elders. The two elders were extremely surprised by her familiar manner.
"A-Yin, have you been here before?"
