What Xia Changlong really wanted was Xia Junhu's indecisiveness.
Now that Xia Junhu has withdrawn his investment, it's anyone's guess when we'll be able to completely seize his power and wealth.
Yang Yajing once said that she would not set foot in the Xia family's house until she resolved the Xia family's trivial matters.
Therefore, Xia Changlong was determined to get rid of Xia Junhu first. Only when Xia Junhu could no longer cause any trouble would Xia Changlong be able to live a peaceful life, and only then could his wife be satisfied.
However, if he keeps this from his wife, she'll definitely give him a good scolding! Luckily, his wife dotes on Yang Yajing, so she'll just shift the blame onto Yang Yajing and at most give her money to make up for it...
Oh! How could he have given birth to such a cursed child!
Moreover, she then arranged a scene for him, making him acknowledge this "fake daughter."
Xia Changlong feels nauseous just thinking about Jiang Xuanxuan. How can he possibly act while suppressing that nausea?
But his wife and this little bastard insist that he act! He even said that if he can't laugh, he should pretend to be serious. It's not like he's been putting on that businesslike act at the company for just the first time.
Those two women are really deadly!
Yang Yajing said that this was just a delaying tactic to make Xia Junhu relax his guard, and to take the opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the Jiang family.
By the time Xia Junhu realized what was happening, it was probably too late to turn the tide.
As for the shares that Xia Junhu mortgaged... sigh!
Xia Changlong looked at the screen, typed on the keyboard, and transferred the acquisition money to Yang Yajing one by one.
Yang Yajing came to collect the shares, but her father had to pay for them – it was practically a scheme to get something for nothing!
Xia Changlong was able to guarantee that the mortgaged shares would be registered under Yang Yajing's name because of Zhou Pengfei's connections.
Zhou Pengfei has made connections with many influential people at the city hall. At the last dinner, Yang Yajing mentioned Xia Junhu's mortgage, which she suspects won't be able to sell.
If the debt cannot be sold, it becomes a bad debt. If bad debts emerge at the end of the year, it will severely damage one's political achievements.
Hearing that Xia Changlong didn't want to get involved and that he couldn't take back the monopoly policy, the Minister of Finance immediately extended an olive branch when Yang Yajing said she was willing to sign a contract to take over this hot potato.
This olive branch meant that the bank's collateral was assigned to Yang Yajing. If it became a bad debt, Yang Yajing would take it over directly, which would not affect his political achievements.
The contract was signed a couple of days ago, and the bank loan must be transferred to Yang Yajing's name within a week, so Xia Changlong is currently transferring the money to her!
Asset collateral always comes with a discount; if Xia Junhu wants a loan of 100 million, he would have to pledge assets worth 200 million.
In particular, stock pledges are very high because if a company's cash flow fails, the stock price will fall.
The transfer of these shares to Yang Yajing's name is equivalent to Yang Yajing acquiring half of Xia Junhu's shares at half price.
It appears that Xia Changlong spent 2 billion, but in reality, Yang Yajing made a net profit of 4 billion.
What does 4 billion mean? It's practically the richest person in Jincheng besides Xia Changlong!
Because of Zhou Pengfei's contribution this time, Xia Changlong's dislike for Zhou Pengfei as his future son-in-law has lessened considerably, and he can now barely accept him!
If he were just a small-time painter, he would always feel that he was not good enough for his daughter.
Fortunately, he wasn't a gigolo who lived off others, so he didn't lose face.
"I've transferred the money to you! Remember to take good care of me in the future!" Xia Changlong called Yang Yajing.
"Why should I show respect to you? If anyone should show respect, it should be to Sister Tao!"
"I paid for it and you don't even respect me? You ungrateful wretch!"
"Don't forget, I was the one you sent away. Sister Tao is the one who always had me in her heart!"
This sentence left Xia Changlong feeling utterly choked up, as if he were chewing bitter melon, unable to taste anything but bitterness!
If he had been ruthless enough to deal with Xia Junhu, the culprit, back then, would he have needed to resort to such a desperate measure?
However, he misjudged people back then and was negligent. By the time he found out, it was too late, and he had no evidence left.
Not wanting to risk another mishap for Yang Yajing, Xia Changlong had no choice but to send her away.
Over the past twenty years, he has accumulated a constant stream of minor scandals, but he has never been able to gather any major information that could shake Xia Junhu's foundation.
In the end, he had to rely on his own daughter's advice to resolve Xia Junhu's matter, which made him feel very incompetent.
But he was also gratified and proud, because although his daughter was raised by a grassroots family, she was not an ordinary person.
He was even more grateful to the Yang family elders, who not only treated Yang Yajing as their own daughter but also raised her so well.
He also wanted to thank Xu Wenbin for helping his daughter find such reliable adoptive parents.
When I first met Yang Yajing, she was not only successful in her career at a young age, but she also rescued her confidant Xu Wenbin and even collected evidence that Xia Junhu had hired someone to commit murder!
On their very first meeting, she accomplished what he hadn't been able to do in decades—truly, the student has surpassed the teacher!
Thinking of this, he no longer cared about Yang Yajing's joke!
Even after learning her true identity, she didn't resent her adoptive parents for concealing it from her; instead, she treated them with great respect.
She was able to maintain a low profile and did not flaunt her wealth or engage in extravagance just because she is the daughter of the richest man.
She even offered to refrain from entering the Xia family home first, so as to help him complete the decades-long task of purging them.
Back then, she was just a teenage girl, yet she was able to be so clear-headed, and what others might have perceived as a situation of enduring humiliation was truly remarkable.
Sigh! I hope Yang Yajing's strategy will achieve its intended effect!
Xia Changlong's parents hoped for family harmony and prosperity, but he probably can't achieve that. This house must be demolished!
He realized the possibility of destroying the family home when Yang Yajing was born; acknowledging Yang Yajing was merely a catalyst for making that decision!
