Yan Xiaonan hugged Xue Ying. She understood Xue Ying's pain, just as Yan Xiaonan had felt heartbroken on the night her grandmother passed away.
Yan Daqiang also held Xue Ying and whispered in her ear, "Xue Ying, Nan Nan is definitely powerless to help. Think about my mother. If Nan Nan could save her, would she not have done so?"
When Xue Ying recalled the night Grandma Yan left, Yan Xiaonan seemed to have lost her soul, numb as if she had no life. She felt a pang of pain in her heart and burst into tears for Xiaonan and for herself.
Xue Honggen was a general, and his ashes were naturally placed in a special place. However, Xue Ying still set up a mourning hall for Xue Honggen at home. She originally thought that only the couple and some children would pay their respects, but she did not expect that there would be so many people paying their respects.
Yan Aiguo was given a holiday, and Yan Zheng also wanted to ask for a holiday. If all else failed, he would ask for half a day off to go to his uncle's house to pay his respects, but he was refused.
Some people even mocked him, saying that he had no blood relation with Xue Honggen, yet he still fawned over him, which was shameless.
If it were the old Yan Zheng, he might have already punched him, but he kept in mind Yan Aiguo's advice: at critical moments, one must not act rashly, otherwise the consequences might be unbearable.
Yan Xiaonan was a little impatient. Her consciousness could only cover the entire mountain, but she couldn't see Yan Daqiang's house. However, she knew that the time for change was coming.
Previously, with Xue Weixing around, Xue Honggen or Yan Daqiang had the opportunity to rise in rank. Yan Daqiang gave the opportunity to Xue Honggen, and although he retired early, Yan Aiguo was fortunate enough to earn the position of army commander through his own efforts.
For some time afterward, Yan Aiguo frequently went on missions and earned many merits, but because there were no vacant positions, he was waiting for an opportunity.
I never expected Xue Honggen to just suddenly disappear like that...
Xue Honggen is still a manager of the special team, but the members of the special team do not contact each other. Only the managers know who is who. So, who will be the new manager?
However, Yan Xiaonan was not worried about herself. She was already a member of the country, so whoever was in charge would have no impact on her. Only her patriotism and integrity might have some influence.
These past few days, groups of people have been holding meetings everywhere, all eyeing the position in front of Xue Honggen. You know, this position doesn't seem to offer any real benefits, but it holds a secret that no one knows about.
That is, he can make superhumans obey him, make them carry out unknown missions, and even make them go on vacation. Xue Honggen had used this trick before and was very good at it.
But would the higher-ups just let someone sit in that position? Of course not, so this is not a problem that can be solved by holding a meeting.
Only if the most powerful person steps forward and speaks can this matter be resolved perfectly. Who is it? Of course, it is Master Yu.
Master Yu was like a free spirit, and no one knew his whereabouts. At this time, someone suggested that the Beijing Club should be expanded and renovated, and that the shares should be redistributed.
Yan Xiaonan looked at the person making the suggestion and sneered. That person was someone who competed with Xue Honggen for the rank of general. He lost the competition and was not convinced. Now that Xue Honggen was gone, he was thinking about Yan Xiaonan's club.
Another piece of trash who harms others without benefiting himself has emerged, but Yan Xiaonan has not shown up. Yu Shu's business talent has already been revealed, but Tian Ru does not seem to have shown his business talent yet.
Tianru was, after all, Ye Ren's child, and he would never lose to these shameless people. He held a press conference and brought out the contract that had been signed back then.
The original contract was signed as follows: the Ye family bought the land with money and had a land deed issued by the government, while the clubhouse was built with government funding. The operating costs and profits were split 50/50.
Because Bei Nan was deported, his 20% stake was given to Ye Chenming. Ye Chenming originally owned 20% of the shares. With Yan Ai's 10%, the Yan family and the Ye family together owned 50% of the shares, and the government owned 50%.
So if you want to expand and renovate, that's fine. If you want to redistribute the shares, that's fine too. Just give me the money. You, the loser in the competition, are using the government's name to settle personal scores. Show me what tricks you have up your sleeve.
Of course, the government has many capable people, and they won't be fooled by such people. However, expansion is also urgent. After all, the Beijing Club represents the face of Beijing, so it must be at the forefront of fashion.
After a series of discussions, the government agreed to provide another plot of land of equal size, with the expansion costs to be shared by the government and the Ye family. Of course, future profits would also be shared.
The loser in the competition did not expect that his proposal would not only fail to shake the Ye family, but would also significantly expand the Ye family's assets. However, he was still waiting, as the expansion funds were not a small amount.
Tianru held a second press conference, this time revealing that he would cut stones on site and raise funds to expand the Beijing Club by selling jadeite.
Sure enough, the jewelers who received the news all came to the capital. The stone was placed on the stage of the banquet hall of the Capital Club, and a live broadcast was even held to prevent people from finding excuses to say that the Ye family's money came from illegitimate sources.
On the stage, a large rock caught the eye; it was the 500-kilogram raw stone that Yu Shu had bought for two million US dollars, with cracks all over its surface.
When Zhu Baodi saw the stone, his eyes widened. Hadn't he told Yan Xiaonan that the stone was terrible and no one would buy it?
This time, Zhu Jiajun was asked to help cut the stone again. Zhu Jiajun started cutting the stone according to the messy lines drawn in the jade book, but every time he cut, it was just a white blob.
When the 500-kilogram stone was broken into five pieces, and everyone thought the original stone had collapsed, Zhu Jiajun began to polish the stone.
Before long, a hint of yellow appeared, and gradually, as if paint had been spilled, large patches of yellow appeared all at once.
"Yellow Jade!" someone exclaimed loudly.
Zhu Baodi wiped his glasses, then wiped his eyes; he could no longer believe his eyes.
One piece was polished out, and then the second, third, fourth, and fifth pieces were polished.
Five pieces of yellow jade were placed neatly on the conference table covered with a soft red velvet cloth. Zhu Jiajun washed his hands, took out a black ballpoint pen, and marked the prices on a piece of white paper.
The largest piece costs 100 million, the smallest piece costs 20 million, and the total price of the five pieces of yellow jade is 300 million.
The price seemed fair, but also a bit expensive. Zhu Baodi was anxious. He gritted his teeth and bought the three smallest pieces of yellow jade, which was his last sum of money for the year.
