Chapter 122: Is there going to be another divorced person among us?
When Ji Tanyuan woke up the next morning, her mother was still asleep. She went to her bedroom to wash up, put on makeup, and then went downstairs.
Downstairs, Dad, dressed in a suit, was already sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.
She approached and noticed the dark circles under her father's eyes. She asked, "Would you like to rest for a bit before going to the company?"
Ji Qing: "It's okay, I can just wear glasses to cover it up."
Ji Tanyuan nodded and didn't say anything more.
After dinner, the father and daughter took the same car to the company.
Ji Qing asked, "Are you planning to get a divorce?"
Ji Tanyuan hummed in agreement.
Ji Qing sat upright. At 50 years old, he looked to be in good shape. He was dressed in a suit and wore gold-rimmed glasses. His calm demeanor had a touch of elegance. Ji Tanyuan's eyebrows and eyes were inherited from him.
They have double eyelids, but not fierce ones; they have gentle, almond-shaped eyes. The two of them look like father and daughter at first glance.
But now, the father and daughter are drifting further and further apart.
Ji Tanyuan's indifference was enough to show it.
Ji Qing: "Are you blaming me?"
"What do I resent about you? I don't resent you, it has nothing to do with you."
Ji Qing placed his hand on his knee and rubbed it for a moment. He turned to look at his daughter, only able to see her sculpted and delicate profile.
"Huanghuang, what you learn from books is never enough. Some things you can't grasp even if someone tells you them, unless you figure them out for yourself."
Ji Tanyuan was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected her father to suddenly explain. "I know, haven't you been practicing it all along?"
She asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?"
Ji Qing: "Nothing, I was just saying."
Ji Tanyuan smiled gently, her smile still warm and genuine, "Don't overthink it, I understand, it's just..."
"May I ask, is your leniency towards your uncle's actions at the company simply because he is your older brother?"
This reason is simply untenable.
Ji Qing looked ahead and said, "I also have things I stand for."
"Is this the surname Ji? What would happen if I demolished the ancestral hall?" Ji Tanyuan tilted her head.
As expected, Ji Qing's expression changed. "Ji Tanyuan, you also have the surname Ji."
Ji Tanyuan scoffed, "She doesn't have to have the surname Ji."
Sooner or later, they'll tear down the Ji family's property and build high-rises. It would be a shame not to make use of such good land.
Ji Qing took a deep breath. He knew that Ji Tanyuan was really capable of doing it. Perhaps she had really gone too far back then. Ji Tanyuan had "graduated" and didn't care to this extent.
He's giving her leadership of the Ji family, not telling her to tear it down.
“Ji Huanghuang, I’m warning you, the ancestral hall cannot be touched. It’s all about feng shui. Even if you don’t go there, you still have to show respect. Otherwise, everyone will suffer. Don’t think you can escape this just because you changed your surname. You still have half the blood of the Ji family in your veins.”
Ji Tanyuan pursed her lips and said, "I understand."
She muttered, "It didn't seem to bring much protection."
"How do you know there was no blessing? My success might just be due to the blessings of my ancestors," Ji Qing retorted in a deep voice.
Ji Tanyuan stopped talking; there was no point in exchanging words when they couldn't see eye to eye.
She didn't believe in this but was also wary of it. She had heard of metaphysics before when she was abroad, and Duan Huaixu believed in it too. She even went to Chinatown to find a fortune teller with a good reputation for money to arrange the feng shui of the office, saying that it would bring in wealth and treasures.
Sure enough, that month, his team secured a deal worth tens of billions.
The reason is unclear, but perhaps there is a reason, because Duan Huaixu believed it very much. However, Ji Tanyuan was more inclined to believe that this vampire capitalist wanted to use this as an excuse to reduce the bonuses paid to his team members.
Therefore, it won't be easy to get the Ji clan to leave. Perhaps we could try asking Duan Huaixu about that Taoist priest.
Upon arriving at the company, the two got out of the car.
Kong Xun and his men greeted them at the door, bowing slightly, "Chairman."
Ji Qing grunted in agreement and left first, entering the building.
Ji Tanyuan watched her father go in with her arms crossed, feeling really annoyed. She had only been the chairperson for a few days.
Just as he was engrossed in reading, his assistant Hao Jiajia came up to him and said, "President Ji, President Lu wants you to go to his office. He said there's a surprise for you."
Ji Tanyuan raised an eyebrow, "What projects are you working on now?"
However, when I saw who it was, I was a little disappointed. What kind of surprise was this?
Seeing the change in her expression, Duan Huaixu chuckled and said, "What, are you disappointed to see me?"
"No, I was just thinking about you."
Duan Huaixu became interested upon hearing this, and said, "Tell me about it."
"I wanted to ask you if you still have the contact information for that fortune teller from back then."
"You actually believe this? Didn't you not believe it?"
"Believe it."
Upon hearing this, Duan Huaixu assumed she had encountered some thorny problem, so he asked, "That's just an auxiliary function, after all. Could you tell me the specifics? It really depends on the person."
"Move the Ji family ancestral hall to the suburbs."
Lu Ke retorted, "Are you crazy?"
Duan Huaixu disagreed, saying, "That's not a good idea."
Ji Tanyuan didn't want to talk about it further, so she smiled and said, "Just kidding."
What brings you here?
Duan Huaixu gave an "oh" and said without changing his expression, "I heard you're getting a divorce, so I came early to prepare for your bachelor party night."
Lu Ke took a sip of coffee to hide the smile on his lips; it seemed like a joke but was actually a test.
Ji Tanyuan: "There are still no results. Can we get down to business?"
"It's work-related."
Yanjing Chairman's Secretariat
Secretary Zhang sighed, looked at the email from Chen Hanwen's legal team regarding the discussion of the divorce agreement, and took a deep breath.
She didn't dare tell Zhong Yan, so she could only ask Assistant Liang.
Assistant Liang glanced at her expressionlessly: "Xiao Zhang, do you remember last year? The chairman and his wife were arguing, and you pushed me out to mediate."
Xiao Zhang's smile froze for a moment. "Assistant Liang."
Assistant Liang sneered, "Go yourself."
When Shen Que went upstairs, he saw the two of them whispering to each other. He tapped the table with the documents in his hand and asked, "What are you doing?"
When Assistant Liang saw Shen Que, he stood up and said, "President Shen, the chairman is waiting for you inside."
He nodded in response.
Shen Que took a few steps when he was stopped. He turned around and saw Assistant Liang smiling and saying, "Mr. Shen, have you remarried?"
Shen Que's face was already grim from working overtime, and it turned even uglier upon hearing this. "Are you looking for death?"
After he finished speaking, he remembered the incident that Zhong Yan and Ji Tanyuan had caused a few days ago.
Shen Que exclaimed as if suddenly realizing something, "Does this mean we're going to have another divorced person among us?"
"Now, I can pass on my experience to the chairman, right?"
