Chapter 106 Sincerity? You don't deserve it.
Ji Ting was hit on the shoulder and suddenly jumped up, yelling, "You brat, what are you doing?"
Ji Ting wanted to settle both his old and new grudges at once. Just as he was about to step forward, he was stopped by the bodyguards outside the door.
The atmosphere became tense. Apart from the people who came with Ji Ting trying to mediate, the senior managers, including Lu Ke, remained seated and behaved themselves.
This was the first time Lu Ke had ever seen Ji Tanyuan so enraged, so disgusted by her coldness and harshness. While she was calmly trying to find a way to resolve the group's crisis, she was also troubled because these issues were related to her family and marriage.
This is not a simple operational crisis; it involves higher levels of authority. If things go wrong, her father might not be able to get out.
Lu Ke sighed; he knew how much pressure Ji Tanyuan was under.
The market size is large for ordinary people, but not so large for the group. There are wolves outside waiting to replace the Ji family's position in semiconductors and new energy.
Therefore, she not only had to deal with the potential crisis of the Ji family, but also find a way to protect her father. These were things that only Ji Tanyuan could lead, and even he felt pressured, let alone the 24-year-old Ji Tanyuan.
Ji Tanyuan said directly:
"Spit out what you've swallowed as soon as possible, or I'll send you straight in. I mean what I say."
Ji Ting took a step back, pushed the bodyguard aside, and flicked the water off his shoulder. "I don't know what you're talking about."
The person behind Ji Ting whispered something in his ear, and Ji Ting's expression changed drastically.
He left in a hurry, saying as he went, "Yu Jiang, how could he commit suicide?"
"Where is Young Master Shen?"
As soon as Ji Ting stepped out the door, he was surrounded by several black cars.
Amidst the howling night wind and the blinding headlights of several cars, Ji Ting was forced to retreat by a car that suddenly started moving, and before he knew it, he sat down on the ground.
Soon a person got out of the car, wearing thin-soled leather shoes with the red base showing through, well-tailored black suit trousers, and above that, a black shirt and an open long black coat.
With his back to the light, his expression was obscure and difficult to read, but his overall demeanor was somber, subtly oppressing one's nerves.
Zhong Yan looked down at Ji Ting, who was still in a daze:
"Uncle, Yu Jiang is dead. He committed suicide."
"I heard you're close to him. Perhaps you know something fishy about this. I need to ask you a few questions to investigate whether it was a murder disguised as suicide. Is that alright?"
Zhong Yan squatted down, a half-smile on his face: "Remember, only by telling the truth can you live."
He turned his head to the back and said, "Throw him over to the police station. Remember, not Area A, but the place where Director Ji is detained."
The central investigation team is temporarily stationed there.
Ji Ting was dumbfounded. "Zhong Yan, no, Mr. Zhong, what does this have to do with me?"
Zhong Yan smiled and said, "It's a huge deal. Also, Uncle, did you get kicked in the head by donkeys a lot when you were a kid, which is why you're so clueless?"
"If Ji Tanyuan doesn't behave well, you'll only suffer more, understand?"
“You’re not even a rib of the Ji family, yet you dare to dream of being the backbone.”
He bent down and patted his face with his black gloved hand, saying, "Pork is destined to be eaten."
After Zhong Yan finished speaking, he got up and left. His expression changed rapidly, and there was no fake smile, only seriousness. He quickly went upstairs.
At that time, Ji Tanyuan was in a meeting discussing the operations after the market opened the next day, and how the Ji family should prepare for the fastest possible emergency public relations should any unexpected events occur.
Even amidst her nervousness, Ji Tanyuan couldn't resist teasing, "Chi Mu must be cursing me to death right now."
The Ji family's chairman went to jail right after the contract was signed. There's no such thing as low risk and high return. Reality will teach you a lesson.
Lu Ke laughed, "I've thought of that, but he'll still make a profit. Tongji High-Tech is just starting out, and its orders are full, so it can weather the storm."
"Our cash reserves can sustain all projects until the end of the year, and there will be no recurrence of the previous cash flow disruption."
Ding Yanna was listening to them talk and typing on her laptop when a page suddenly popped up.
She paused, looked up and said, "My friend just told me that Yu Jiang committed suicide by jumping off a building."
Ji Tanyuan stopped smiling, then got up and walked to the window to look downstairs.
Below, rows of small black dots—those were convoys—created an inexplicable sense of oppression under the streetlights.
She was just about to ask who it was.
Tang Xin then said, "The receptionist said Mr. Zhong has arrived."
Ji Tanyuan pursed her lips. "Let him come up."
She turned to the crowd and said, "You can continue. Tomorrow is your responsibility."
She laughed and said, "After it's all over, I'll personally pay everyone's bonuses."
"Do you remember me telling you that I now hold 56% of Zidian Technology's shares? If it becomes absolutely necessary, I will disclose that directly."
Lu Ke nodded, but once it was made public, it would mean that the marriage was out of balance, either the marriage had collapsed or the relationship had become even better.
However, at this point, such disclosure is tantamount to declaring the marriage between Zhong Yan and Ji Tanyuan a failure.
He opened his mouth, "Tan Yuan, now is not the time to act impulsively."
Ji Tanyuan hummed in agreement, "I know."
Lu Ke felt that she was ignorant and stubborn. Many people must have told her not to act impulsively and confront others, but she still published that article.
Ji Tanyuan noticed his worry: "Lu Ke, I only understand now that people live for a breath of air. If you don't breathe when you should, you're prone to breast hyperplasia."
Ding Yanna, a leading figure in the financial world, gave a thumbs up and agreed, saying, "Yes."
Ji Tanyuan entered the office, and Zhong Yan crossed his legs and looked down at his phone.
Hearing the sound, he looked up and went over. "Why didn't you answer the phone?"
Ji Tanyuan took a step back to avoid his touch.
Zhong Yan's hand hung in mid-air. He was still wearing his wedding ring, and they had agreed to go on a trip together just two days ago.
Zhong Yan closed his eyes briefly. "I said you can trust me."
Ji Tanyuan: "They check your credit history before you can get a loan. Do you think you have good credit with me?"
Zhong Yan's expression turned cold. "You can only trust me now."
Ji Tanyuan nodded, "Okay, who's behind Dingkun Capital?"
Zhong Yan: "Zhong Yi's uncle."
"And you, Zhong Yan, were you involved too? Such a complicated asset transfer, non-fungible token swap? How did you even come up with that?"
Zhong Yan pursed her lips and remained silent, which was already considered tacit agreement.
Ji Tanyuan's eyes reddened, and she nodded repeatedly. She stood there quietly, her blue velvet dress making her look graceful, but at this moment there was a subtle, almost imperceptible tear.
"So you pretended not to recognize Yuan Yin that day, it was all an act for me, right?"
"Zhong Yan, we should just focus on acting and not have any unrealistic fantasies."
"Sincerity? You don't deserve it."
Ji Tanyuan turned around, and Zhong Yan grabbed her arm and pulled her in front of him. "Dingkun Capital has a complex composition. You can do it even if you don't go through that."
“You’re right. My sincerity is indeed unworthy of you. I’ve long since lost the ability to be honest and can’t be completely open about everything. I’m even more afraid to be honest and not to completely trust others. I don’t even trust you, so I have no right to make you trust me. It’s shameless of me.”
"But I'm trying my best, trying to show my utmost sincerity. Tan Yuan, I could have walked this path alone, but after suddenly meeting you, I don't want to walk it alone anymore."
He held her shoulders with both hands, bent down, looked into her eyes, and said, word by word, "Your father is fine, the Ji family will be fine too, and our marriage cannot end."
"But the reality is, all three of them have run into trouble."
