Chapter 650 Both Shocked! Big Shots Join Forces [1 Update]
Those deep blue eyes were like the ocean, profound and unfathomable, possessing a fatal attraction.
It's exactly the kind of girl that girls like.
There's a reason why Caesar was called "Apollo of Florence" centuries ago.
“Boss.” Xize immediately hung up the phone and walked over. “Why didn’t you tell me you were coming? I didn’t prepare anything. It’s so early in the morning, all I have is coffee.”
"No need to prepare," Ying Zijing said, one hand in her pocket. "It's just a business meeting."
"Hmm? What kind of business?" Xize suddenly became interested. "Where are we digging for gold? I'll bring a few more people this time, and we'll definitely bring it all back."
Ying Zijing pressed her head: "You know about the business with Venus Group, and about Laurent Bank wanting to freeze Venus Group's funds, right?"
Xize nodded: "Yes, I know. Their O Alliance president approached the vice president of Laurent Bank and offered 10% of the shares."
As the world's largest conglomerate, even a 10% stake in Venus Group represents a fortune that is unimaginable for most people.
Xize has always believed in never refusing money that comes his way.
"Boss, do you want this 10% stake? You should have said so earlier. If you wanted Venus Group, I would have gritted my teeth and taken it for you."
Ying Zijing glanced at him: "Go ahead and hit him, the CEO is your older brother."
"..."
Xize was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "My older brother?"
He only called Guan Fuyun "elder brother" after he was defeated that day.
Otherwise, who would dare to ride roughshod over him?
Ying Zijin looked at him: "Any objections?"
Xize swallowed all his words: "...I wouldn't dare."
The Laurent family did indeed join the four major conglomerates of O in suppressing the Venus Group.
At first, Caesar didn't care; he only cared about money.
He also devised some plans targeting the Venus Group.
But Xize never expected that the mysterious CEO of Venus Group was his boss's boyfriend.
What a tragic fate!
"Alright, alright." Xize raised his hand. "Since it's your family's property, I definitely can't do anything about it. I'll have someone talk to the bank right away."
He pressed a call button.
Job arrived quickly: "Master."
Caesar instructed: "Inform all senior executives at Laurent Bank that they can only cooperate with the CEO of Venus Group."
"Yes, Master."
Job went down quickly.
Ian was completely dumbfounded, his mind filled with a chorus of "Holy crap!"
“You are very good.” Caesar patted Ian on the shoulder and smiled. “You have good taste, just like me.”
Knowing whose coattails to cling to.
Ian was breathless from being hit so hard, and his mind was still blank.
The news that the new head of the Laurent family had officially returned to power had already spread several months earlier, when the Pazzi family was destroyed.
However, he has not yet appeared in public.
However, the Venus Group obtained some intelligence.
The person in power is young and good-looking.
Ian looked up with difficulty at Caesar.
What the hell?!
Even the head of the Laurent family is on their side, so what is there to be afraid of?
“Boss, have you not used the black card I gave you much?” Xize turned his head, his deep blue eyes showing a hint of grievance. “If you had used it, you definitely wouldn’t have come all the way here to find me.”
Ying Zijing paused for a moment: "Indeed, I haven't used it yet."
She hasn't spent much money lately, and Fu Yunshen usually pays for her daily expenses by card.
She didn't even go into the bank.
“This card can access the vaults of Laurent Banks across the country.” Caesar sighed. “It’s more effective than the head of the bank’s orders. Boss, you’re wasting a treasure.”
Before Ying Zijing could react, Ian exclaimed in shock, "All the vaults?!"
No one knows exactly how much wealth the Laurent family possesses.
The Venus Group started later, although it is very wealthy.
However, in terms of total capital, it is indeed no match for the Laurent family, which has existed for hundreds of years.
The Laurent family monopolized the global economy.
If Laurent Bank really freezes their funds, the Venus Group will indeed suffer a major blow.
“What are you surprised about?” Xize glanced at him. “Without my boss, the Laurent family wouldn’t have survived to this day.”
He had genuine respect for Ying Zijin.
It's acceptable to give up one's life.
Ian wiped his sweat: "I...I'm so excited."
Xize thought for a moment: "Boss, when is the quarterly report meeting?"
Ying Zijing yawned, her voice languid: "The day after tomorrow."
Xize nodded: "Okay, I'll go check and save me a seat."
He loosened his tie and asked, "By the way, will any women be attending?"
“Yes.” Ian was taken aback. “The quarterly report meeting is before the party, and there’s an opening dance, so of course there will be women. What’s wrong?”
"Oh, I see." Xize nodded, quite satisfied. "I've decided to try getting a girlfriend."
Ian: "???"

When Ian left Laurent Castle, his mind was still reeling.
He was stunned for a while before picking up his phone and calling Fu Yunshen: "Brother, do you know who my sister-in-law took me to see?!"
"Hmm? Caesar Laurent?"
"Brother, you knew about this? No wonder you weren't nervous, you had this trump card all along."
“No.” Fu Yunshen chuckled. “I have a plan and can solve this, but it’s definitely more convenient for Yaoyao to take action.”
Ian, feeling quite pleased with himself, followed Ying Zijin back to J country.
It turns out, it feels really good to have someone protecting you.
Before getting off the plane, Ian said with tears in his eyes, "Sister-in-law, I'll definitely cling to your leg and beg you to take me with you."
Ying Zijing said expressionlessly, "Please get out of my way."
Ian: "..."
He rolled away quickly.
Fu Yunshen drove to pick her up, and the two went back to the hotel together.
He said, "I'm going out for a bit, I'll be back for dinner."
Ying Zijing lay on the bed and waved her hand lazily: "Go on, I'm going to rest for a while."
Fu Yunshen patted the girl's head and walked out.
Ying Zijing turned over, turned on her computer, and logged into the NOK forum.
Before she could even look at her friends list, a chat window popped up.
[10]: Master Fortune Teller! You're finally online again! Hurry, when will you tell my fortune?
Ying Zijing remained calm and typed a line of text.
[The Fortune Teller]: I know where you're from.
[10]: Where am I from? Aren't I just an Earthling?
[10]: Do you think I'm like you, coming to Earth from another universe?
[The Divine Calculator]: Four words, impossible to convey, as you know, Hermit Master.
[10]: ...
Immediately afterwards, a call box popped up.
Above are four red characters and an exclamation mark.
[Urgent call!]
Ying Zijing narrowed her eyes slightly and typed out a piece of code.
He then used his internal energy to seal off the hotel room before pressing the answer button.
"Hello?"
A very young male voice rang out.
Ying Zijing lowered her eyelashes: "Yes, I'm here."
"Ah, sorry, this is an Earth secret, and many people on Earth can't know it." The man sighed with a smile, "You know, when we first met, you said you weren't from Earth, that you came from somewhere else to have some fun."
"So I didn't plan to tell you that you've decided to come and do my fortune telling in person?"
"No," Ying Zijin said succinctly, "I just need to go to your place for some business."
"I see." The man seemed thoughtful. "Then contact me again when you come, and I'll come to see you. Is this your real voice?"
Ying Zijing raised an eyebrow: "Hmm, your voice hasn't changed."
During the time they met in the 16th century, she always wore a black robe, covering everything so that nothing could be seen.
Let alone men and women, young and old alike wouldn't know.
"Never mind, gender doesn't matter anyway." The man laughed indifferently. "In my eyes, there is no distinction between men and women. I always thought you were an old man."
He paused for a moment, then said, “In that case, let me formally introduce myself. I am the Sage Hermit, and you can call me by my real name, Xiu.”
The tenth of the Twenty-Two Sages, the Hermit.
Hugh Kenslow.
Xiu coughed a few times: "I was originally planning to wait until you agreed before leaving the city to find you, but now that you're coming in, it saves me the trouble."
I didn't really intend to see you.
"..."
Xiu sighed helplessly, "You really are as heartless as ever."
Ying Zijin said calmly, "Likewise."
“By the way, there’s something important.” Xiu’s voice became a bit serious: “After you arrive, you are absolutely not allowed to use your divine calculation abilities except when I’m present.”
Ying Zijin's eyes narrowed instantly.
“You should know that there are other sages looking for you. If you use your divine calculation abilities, they will be able to find you immediately.” Xiu paused. “Only I can help you cover it up.”
Absolutely hidden.
This is no joke.
“I understand.” Ying Zijin remained calm and composed. “Don’t worry, what I truly rely on is not my divine calculation ability.”
She wouldn't have survived this long if it were just because of her special abilities.
"That's good." Xiu nodded. "May I know your name? Your real name?"
"Ying Zijing." Ying Zijing pondered for a moment, "What about the other two? They've never been online, and they're not with you?"
Upon hearing this, Xiu paused for a moment, then said, "Let's talk in person."
Ying Zijin nodded and ended the call.

Meanwhile, Joseph also arrived in Florence.
The headquarters of Laurent Bank is located here.
“Miss Kiel,” Joseph said with impeccable manners, “it is truly an honor to cooperate with your family.”
Kier Laurent is over forty, but he is very well-maintained.
She was wearing a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses: "Hello, President Joseph."
“I have taken care of all the preparations,” Joseph said with a smile. “Now we’re just waiting for Miss Kiel.”
As long as Laurent Bank freezes Venus Group's funds for three days, he is fully confident that he can take control of the entire Venus Group.
Kiel nodded: "Of course, we also hope that President Joseph will keep his word and contribute 10% of the shares."
Kiel was no different from most members of the Laurent family; he loved money.
Joseph's smile widened: "Then please ask Miss Kiel to go to Country J and attend the quarterly report meeting together."
"Just a moment." Kiel answered a phone call.
After hearing something said on the other end, her expression gradually turned serious: "Okay, I understand."
For some reason, Joseph had a bad feeling: "Miss Kiel?"
Kiel smiled slightly: "It's because the family has given some orders. President Joseph, rest assured, the family is already aware of your request."
"Congratulations, our master will be attending your group's report meeting."
Joseph's eyes widened, and he gasped.
The head of the Laurent family actually wants to help him personally?
Is there really such a good thing?
Joseph was overjoyed: "Miss Kiel, thank you, thank you so much, this way please."
Kiel glanced at Joseph, picked up his handbag, and followed him out.
**
Two days later.
The Venus Group's quarterly report meeting, eagerly anticipated by the international business community, has officially begun.
Reporters from various countries were present, and the venue was bustling with people, many of whom were looking around.
For journalists, the new products Venus Group is about to launch are definitely not as attractive as the CEO's personal appearance.
Joseph glanced in the direction Ian was.
He walked over with a glass of wine in his hand and said in a low voice, "Director Ian, please enjoy your last moments together."
Ian sneered: "I'll say the same thing to you."
"Director Ian, you're joking," Joseph said dismissively. "I have the support of the Laurent family, what do you have?"
He paused, then added a threat: "Director Ian, it's not too late to choose sides now."
After saying this, Joseph turned around, his expression arrogant.
He looked up at the door, and what he saw made him freeze in shock.
The man was tall and imposing, with a distinctly Eastern face and an extremely powerful presence.
Joseph asked incredulously, "How did you get here?"
Fu Yunshen was fired by Venus Group, so why is he here?
He genuinely disliked Fu Yunshen.
Because of Fu Yunshen's appearance, he lost a lot of the limelight.
Fu Yunshen tilted his head and curled his lips into a smile: "What a coincidence, isn't it?"
Joseph's expression turned cold: "What coincidence?"
Ian's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked towards Fu Yunshen.
The previous cover wasn't copyrighted, so I changed it.
I'll get another one in a few days _(:з」∠)_
