With just a few words, everyone shrank back, no longer daring to step forward rashly.
Seeing that these people had been sufficiently intimidated by her show of force, Yang Yajing put on a playful smile and said, "Oh dear! Really, can we not investigate where everyone's money came from? Anyway, it's not like we stole, robbed, or broke the law. As long as you have money, it's none of my business, right?"
This statement, seemingly Yang Yajing letting these people off the hook and no longer exposing their past misdeeds, is actually her way of telling them: mind your own business, don't meddle in her private affairs, it's none of their business!
"Yes! Yes!" a fence-sitter chimed in, "If everyone's making money and accumulating wealth, isn't that like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their unique abilities?"
“Yes, yes, yes!” Another fence-sitter chimed in, “The way to make money is everyone’s business acumen, everyone’s most treasured secret. To put it bluntly, it’s a trade secret. How can we just reveal it like that?”
Despite saying that, everyone was still extremely curious about Yang Yajing's identity.
The young woman called Xu Wenbin "Uncle Xu" as soon as she entered the door and Xia Changlong "Boss Xia". Judging from their address of her as "Girl", they must be very familiar with each other.
But they've been shareholders for so many years, and none of them have ever heard of Yang Yajing. How could they not be curious?
But the onlookers feared that Yang Yajing would once again make a surprising remark and turn the tables on them. They looked at each other, but no one spoke.
However, there are always a few people who are not afraid of trouble in any situation, such as Xia Caixia, a woman from the Xia family.
"Second brother, who exactly is this Yang Yajing? Judging from your tone, you seem to know her quite well? Could it be... that your wife knows about this?" Xia Caixia's intention was clearly to steer Yang Yajing's identity in a direction that was not to be seen.
"Hehe!" Xia Changlong chuckled insincerely. "Third sister! Your second sister-in-law is much closer to me than I am to her!"
"This Yang Yajing is my second sister-in-law's friend? Doesn't seem like it? There's such a big age difference!" Xia Caixia pressed on.
"That's right!" Xia Changlong chuckled. "Your second sister-in-law has such a youthful mindset! She makes me feel like an old relic!"
Xia Caixia was about to say something when Yang Yajing spoke first: "Boss Xia, don't you keep in touch with your relatives? Is this Ms. Xia really your sister? She doesn't seem to have ever patronized Sister Tao's business."
"Business? What business?" Xia Caixia thought for a moment, "That food court that's just for fun? That place is full of poor people, what's the point of going there?"
"Tsk tsk tsk! Boss Xia, you're such a failure as a person!" Yang Yajing pouted. "Oh, actually, you can't say that. It's more like your elders were too lax in their parenting!"
"You brat, you're being lawless again?" Xia Changlong glared at Yang Yajing, but he was clearly not angry.
“Actually, if the elders didn’t teach them well, it’s okay for the siblings to learn from and take care of each other. That’s why they say the eldest brother is like a father,” Yang Yajing continued to speak without restraint.
The term "eldest brother" is a joke at this point in time. Xia Changlong's "eldest brother," Xia Junhu, had just been "invited" in a few minutes before Yang Yajing entered, and he was even "handcuffed" as he left.
What good can such "role models" teach us?
Seeing that everyone either looked embarrassed or hesitated to speak, Yang Yajing decided to change the subject: "Should I introduce myself?"
“Ms. Yang, please!” One shareholder nodded on behalf of the others.
"I'm the one in charge of spending Old Master Xia's spare money." Yang Yajing's ambiguous self-introduction was even more confusing than no introduction at all.
In fact, Yang Yajing had already made an agreement with Xia Changlong and the others that, for the sake of convenience in revealing her identity in the future, Yang Yajing would appear at the board meeting as the president of the Jinxia Foundation, rather than as a relative of Xu Wenbin or a daughter of the Yang family.
The shareholders' meeting is a work setting, so you should appear in an official capacity!
"Ahem!" Secretary Huang was at a loss for words, so he coughed and added in a formulaic tone, "Ms. Yang is the president of the Jinxia Foundation, a newly established foundation under our Huaxia Group. She has been Chairman Xia's private investment advisor before."
The shareholders finally realized why Yang Yajing was so rich at such a young age. The position of foundation president was a high-paying job, not to mention that she was Xia Changlong's private investment advisor.
Everyone has some idea of Xia Changlong's financial situation. With such a large base, the investment advisor's bonus must be considerable.
In addition, some of the strange and avant-garde investment ideas that Xia Changlong has put forward in the company in recent years are probably all the work of this Ms. Yang, right?
They all knew that these investment projects, which they were unsure about, always resulted in profits and never losses. It seemed that this little girl really had some skills!
Moreover, it's quite obvious that this important figure is now siding with Xia Changlong, and the winds of this group of opportunists have quickly shifted in Xia Changlong's direction.
Secretary Huang continued, "Miss Xia is also one of the shareholders in the food court and office building that Mrs. Xia invested in; the building itself belongs to Miss Xia."
No wonder Yang Yajing said that Xia Caixia didn't support Madam Xia's business. If she had been there, she would definitely know Yang Yajing, right?
"Everyone, welcome Ms. Yang Yajing, the new shareholder, to the Huaxia Consortium family!" Finally, Secretary Huang led the applause, and everyone responded with thunderous applause.
Xia Changlong waited until the applause stopped before saying, "My wife is preparing a welcome party for the new shareholders, which will be held in two weeks. Please feel free to attend."
Cocktail parties are great occasions to build connections and get closer to wealthy businessmen. The name of the event is not really important; what matters is that you get to attend them.
