Chapter 118 Regret: I've Offended Someone I Can't Afford to Offend [3 Updates]
The loud noise interrupted Eugene's words.
This unspoken sense of familiarity at this crucial moment pulled his memory back to five days ago.
The girl entered with light, her movements unhurried yet her eyes were cold and her gaze sharp as a knife.
It makes you feel like you can't breathe.
Eugene's smile froze, and when he turned around, he saw the girl's figure again, as expected.
She looked as if she had just woken up, with mist still clinging to her eyelashes.
The clothes she was wearing weren't designer brands or custom-made; they were just ordinary loungewear.
He seems to have absolutely no manners.
The CEO of DK Group frowned almost imperceptibly, but said nothing, and remained leisurely leaning back in his chair.
A socialite raised by a wealthy family in Shanghai would naturally not be so irritable. No wonder, she's just an adopted daughter.
Although, she has a good appearance.
He was able to acquire the Jade Pavilion so smoothly this time, thanks in large part to Miss Ying.
Before Eugene could speak, the foreign man stood up and walked forward.
He smiled slightly and said with an air of nobility, "This must be Miss Ying, right? I haven't yet had the chance to thank Miss Ying for securing the Jade Pavilion for the DK Group."
These words are clearly aimed at alienating others.
Many shareholders from Mr. Zhong's faction also changed their expressions.
The granddaughter personally lost the business that her grandfather had painstakingly built up over many years.
What's this?
Grandpa Zhong hadn't spoken until now, but after hearing this, he said indifferently, "I know my granddaughter is beautiful, virtuous, and good in every way."
"But you don't need to use such an old-fashioned and disgusting way of picking up girls. My granddaughter is not even eighteen yet, and you are almost thirty. Old men are not good enough for you."
The CEO of DK Group is overjoyed.
Shareholders: "..."
Although they really wanted to refute it.
But there is a kind of beauty that you truly want to possess the moment you see it.
But at this point, isn't Old Master Zhong afraid of angering the DK Group and causing the Zhong Group to bleed heavily again?
"Uncle Zhong, take it easy." The middle-aged shareholder couldn't stand it anymore and said in a low voice, "I know you have a bad temper, but please bear with it."
Old Master Zhong sneered: "If I tolerate this, am I still myself?"
Middle-aged shareholder: "..."
Sorry to bother you, he shut up.
"Chairman Zhong, you're still going strong! I misspoke. I really just wanted to thank Miss Ying." The CEO of DK Group said, then suddenly realized, "Oh, right."
He looked at the girl and smiled again: "I heard that Miss Ying comes from a poor county and doesn't understand English. I'm sorry, besides my mother tongue, English is the only language I speak."
He said this, but showed no intention of apologizing whatsoever.
His expression was merely one of disdain.
He had thought that the person who could sign the performance-based agreement must be someone extraordinary, but he was really disappointed to find out that this was all there was to it.
This time, Grandpa Zhong couldn't stand it anymore.
Just as he was about to explode in anger, a hand pressed down on his shoulder.
Ying Zijing turned her head to the side, raised her eyes slightly, and casually said, "Nulli expugnabilis hosti."
"..."
The entire conference room fell silent because of this sentence.
The CEO of DK Group was genuinely taken aback: "What?"
"Didn't understand?" Ying Zijin nodded, her tone still flat, and this time she switched to English, "What a pity, I thought you were from O continent and would understand more."
The implication is—
Since you don't understand, I'll have to communicate with you in the simplest English.
The foreign man's face instantly turned extremely ugly.
Under the gaze of so many people, he had a moment
He not only didn't understand, but he also didn't know what language the girl was speaking.
It's not English, nor German, nor French.
But there's a certain resemblance between them.
Grandpa Zhong coughed, but his heart was filled with joy.
But his expression was very serious, and he asked in a low voice, "What does that mean?"
"Uncle Zhong, you overestimate me." The middle-aged shareholder was also bewildered. "I only speak English, maybe the language of some small country in Africa?"
The continent has many countries, and the vast majority of them use English.
But even English has many regional dialects, just like the dialects in China.
"Sigh." Grandpa Zhong sighed deeply. "See? My granddaughter is really something."
Middle-aged shareholder: "..."
That's really enough.
Nobody understood it. Who knows if it was just made up on the spot?
"Chairman Zhong has certainly raised a fine granddaughter." The CEO of DK Group slowly calmed down and sneered, "Enough with the talk, now, please have Chairman Zhong bring over the land deed and transaction certificate for Jadeite Studio."
Being humiliated instead of successfully humiliating someone is unpleasant for anyone.
The middle-aged shareholder's expression changed again: "Uncle Zhong, we—"
Before he could finish speaking, two people carried a large box in and placed it in the center of the conference room.
Upon seeing the box, Eugene suddenly had a bad feeling.
Could the Zhong Group have really found the Ten Directions Realm again?
No, of course not.
They hired a master thief from one of the world's top five master thief teams. Just now, one of their men reported that the Ten Directions Realm was right under their noses and no one could possibly take it away.
I guess they're trying to fool them.
Thinking of this, Eugene smiled dismissively: "What does Miss Ying mean by this?"
Ying Zijing ignored him and looked at the foreign man instead: "Open it."
The CEO of DK Group gradually turned cold, but more than that, he found it amusing: "You're ordering me around?"
Do I really not know my own limitations?
Ying Zijing threw down a paper cutter, which snapped with a "crack" and severed a nerve.
"I'll let you open it."
The four words are icy and unquestionable.
"Boss, I'll do it." Eugene wiped away a bead of cold sweat. "Please don't be angry."
For some reason, he still felt uneasy.
But since they're going to get the Jade Pavilion anyway, there's no need to worry about these things anymore.
The CEO of DK Group gave a slight humph, took a step back, and showed his magnanimity.
Eugene picked up the box cutter that had been thrown on the table and began to disassemble the box.
The box wasn't difficult to open; he did it in just a few seconds.
He was about to see what it was when he looked down and his face froze instantly.
Eugene stared wide-eyed at the contents of the box, completely incredulous, his hands trembling.
"What are you standing there for? Let everyone see!" The middle-aged shareholder stepped forward and shoved him aside.
He picked up the box cutter again and, with a series of snorts, began to cut off all four sides of the box.
This completely exposed the contents of the box to everyone.
At the moment it was turned on, a dazzling light shone.
It was a jade carving about half the height of a person, with a carved stand underneath.
Jade is translucent, transparent, brighter than glass, and has a dazzling luster.
The eighty-eight Buddhas are all different in form and have vivid expressions.
In the sculptor's hands, it seems to come alive.
If it's not the Ten Directions Realm, then what is it?
"..."
Suddenly, there was complete silence.
Grandpa Zhong suddenly stood up, staring intently at the jade carving, utterly shocked.
He was the only one who could tell that he wasn't from the Ten Directions Realm.
After all, he has been overseeing the Ten Directions Realm for so many years, he would notice even the slightest change.
Not to mention that this jade carving is clearly more exquisite and of higher craftsmanship than the real Ten Directions Realm.
Grandpa Zhong wasn't stupid. He made a call and immediately knew what had happened. He clutched his heart.
So, his granddaughter has been locking herself in her room during this time, is she really carving the Ten Directions Realm?
A masterpiece that would take a master sculptor three months to complete was finished by his granddaughter in just four days?!
Grandpa Zhong's face cracked open, and he forgot to react.
Naturally, the one most affected was the CEO of the DK Group.
He completely lost his composure and blurted out, "Impossible!"
The Ten Directions Realm is clearly still in the warehouse on O Continent, how could it possibly appear here again?!
He couldn't help but roar, "This is fake! It must be fake!"
But even he himself couldn't convince himself of those words.
The color of this jadeite rough alone makes it absolutely top-grade icy jadeite, which cannot be faked.
"Bullshit!" The middle-aged shareholder finally snapped out of his daze. "Open your dog eyes and see clearly, this is the Ten Directions Realm! Now, shouldn't you hand over the $300 million order to us?"
Very well, from this moment on, he declares that this Miss Ying is his idol.
The middle-aged shareholders suddenly felt a little envious of Mr. Zhong.
It's incredible that they have such a powerful granddaughter who can even find the Ten Directions Realm.
Upon hearing this, the CEO of DK Group was furious, but even more so, he felt ashamed and angry: "Now that the Ten Directions Realm has been recovered, the remaining balance will naturally be transferred to Zhong Group's account."
"As for that $300 million order, don't even think about it."
By giving up $300 million, DK Group will not be able to make any further progress for the next ten years.
The CEO of DK Group sneered, stood up, and prepared to leave.
He didn't believe that anyone in the Zhong Group would dare to stop him.
At this moment, Ying Zijing looked up and glanced at him indifferently: "Answer the phone."
"What? Answer the phone?" DK Group's CEO said impatiently. "I've already told you, you can't possibly get a $300 million deal. That's wishful thinking."
He walked towards the door, but had only taken one step—
"Ring ring!"
A bell suddenly rang in the pocket of his suit jacket.
The CEO of DK Group abruptly stopped and took out his phone.
This is a transoceanic phone call from O continent.
However, there were no labels.
It was clearly not someone he knew, nor was it in his contacts.
He was a little confused, but still answered the phone: "Hello?"
Nulli expugnabilis hosti: Latin for "No enemy can conquer this place."
