Chapter 135: Officially Announcing Divorce on Wedding Anniversary
Zhong Yan frowned. "I know, I was referring to the token of my appreciation and the money just now."
Ji Tanyuan laughed, "Oh, money, the Patek Philippe Supercomplication series flagship limited edition cost me more than 50 million. I got it through connections abroad."
She put her hands behind her back, leaned over to look at him, and blinked. "I'm never stingy when it comes to giving gifts."
Zhong Yan clicked his tongue. "Who asked you that?"
Ji Tanyuan frowned. "Then why are you asking? Do you want me to take the watch apart and reassemble it to show my appreciation?"
Zhong Yan: "No, you just said where the money is?"
"I just said..."
Halfway through her sentence, Ji Tanyuan remembered something she had just blurted out.
Her smile froze, she looked up, and met Zhong Yan's gaze.
Zhong Yan also stared at her intently, and seeing her expression, he knew that she had remembered.
"Go on, keep talking." He bent down to look her in the eye.
Ji Tanyuan opened her mouth, then blushed, "I just said it later, to express that I wasn't just being perfunctory."
"It's alright, just say it again and I'll make you the island owner. A castle is being built right now, don't you want to take a look?"
Ji Tanyuan was being watched by him. She could have simply and openly repeated what he said, but being watched by him, he gave it a different meaning, a romantic connotation.
She suddenly couldn't say it.
Zhong Yan looked at her, and Ji Tanyuan met his gaze and laughed twice.
"How about I call you 'husband' one last time? I won't be able to call you that again."
Zhong Yan straightened up and looked down. "I heard it. Subconsciousness doesn't lie."
"You like me." Zhong Yan made the final decision.
Ji Tanyuan: "Who said that? Money is where love is. I've spent money on so many people."
Would you spend money to send gifts to someone you dislike?
Ji Tanyuan's initial momentum suddenly subsided. "Well... not really."
Zhong Yan nodded, "You don't dislike me, so you like me, right? What's so hard about admitting it? Is admitting you like me something shameful?"
Ji Tanyuan pursed her lips. If that's the case, she had given gifts to other male friends before. How could she so hastily make a judgment about whether someone liked her or not?
Zhong Yan stared at her for a long time, then chuckled. He was determined to get her to open up.
He raised his hand to grasp the back of her head and lowered his head to kiss her.
Ji Tanyuan was forced to tilt her head back to receive his kiss.
Her hair quickly came loose, and the buttons on her shirt were undone one by one.
The two then fell onto the sofa, lost in a daze of passion. Zhong Yan pressed his forehead against hers, nuzzling hers, his voice low and husky:
"Baby, do you like it?"
Ji Tanyuan hummed in agreement, raised her hand to put it around his neck, and urged, "Hurry up."
Who do you like?
Ji Tanyuan was annoyed and kicked him, but he grabbed her ankle and said, "Island Master Huanghuang, think carefully about what you're going to say. Who do you like?"
Zhong Yan: "Explain it clearly."
Ji Tanyuan: "You, you, you, it's done, isn't it?"
Zhong Yan raised an eyebrow and rewarded her with a kiss. "You have to say, 'I like you,' now."
Seeing that he didn't move and was still muttering and tugging at each other slowly, Ji Tanyuan became anxious.
"If you keep doing this, I'm going out to find wild ducks."
Zhong Yan's smile froze, then vanished. "Ji Tanyuan, you're asking for death."

One of Murphy's Laws states that if you worry about something happening, it will happen.
Zhong Yan has already experienced it.
While the two were deeply in love, it was raining heavily outside, and no one called the person in question.
You could say this world is a giant makeshift operation.
early morning period
Suddenly, news broke online that the chairman of Zhongheng Group and the eldest daughter of the Ji family, a director of the Ji family, were getting a divorce.
This news spread rapidly on the forums of major financial companies.
A financial journalist was woken up by a phone call, opened his laptop, and started writing the news while cursing. "In the middle of the night, can't a person get any sleep?"
Various "industry insiders" and "young masters in the circle" have started posting some seemingly plausible but ultimately unfounded messages.
Upon seeing this, the public relations teams on both sides assumed that the other side had released the information first.
As if sounding a bugle call, they began their charge into battle.
And so, after a night of fermentation...
The board of directors of Zidian Technology confirmed the news of the divorce the following morning.
And the two major holding companies of Zidian Technology:
Ji Group and Zhong Heng Group.
A series of public relations efforts were initiated to prevent the company's business and stock from being affected.
First, Zidian Technology disclosed its latest equity report and operating status. The report showed that the business was operating smoothly and the divorce was conducted peacefully through negotiation.
The reason for the divorce was attributed to incompatibility and failure to work things out.
The report on the redistribution of equity caused a huge uproar, with the Ji Group gaining absolute control of Zidian Technology through Qingkong Shares.
Compared to the previous 56%, this time it jumped directly to 67%. It can now be said that after the couple divorced, the management and decision-making power of Zidian Technology were completely handed over to the woman.
Zhongheng Group's strategic concession has sparked market speculation, with outsiders questioning whether Zhong Yan has truly cheated on his wife, whether Ding Kun is the chairman of Zhongheng Group, whether he has an ambiguous relationship with female celebrities, and whether Ding Kun Capital is indeed laundering large sums of money through the entertainment industry.
A series of crises that had been clarified have been reopened due to a divorce dispute and this equity report.
Some speculate that the chairman of Zhongheng Group may have indeed had an affair, which is why he reached a compensation agreement with the Ji family and withdrew from the semiconductor chip manufacturing field.
However, just when everyone thought Zhong Heng was truly at a disadvantage, its group headquarters quickly released several major cooperation plans, clearly sending a strong signal to the outside world that it would continue to cultivate the industry, completely shattering outside speculation about its strategic contraction.
And many posts about "scandals" without evidence gradually faded away.
What followed were business issues.
Everyone then realized that over the past year, Zhongheng Group had quietly and efficiently expanded its presence in the southern market, forming an industrial ecosystem centered on its strategic partnership with the Ji Group. This crucial partnership...
Under Zhong Yan's leadership, the company has not only strengthened its control over key aspects such as high-performance chip design and manufacturing, but has also gradually achieved resource integration and synergy across the upstream and downstream semiconductor industry chain.
Meanwhile, some people have also compiled a list of companies that Ji Tanyuan directly and indirectly holds shares in, which almost cover the upstream industry of chip manufacturing, from raw materials to equipment, with the intention of creating a relatively complete domestic manufacturing system.
Therefore, some people speculate that now that their interests are involved, it's probably not just a matter of personality clashes or infidelity; it must be a conflict of interest.
Outsiders to this marriage are only interested in the potential stock market gains and the gossip.
However, a small number of people know that Ji Tanyuan's father was taken away for investigation, so they speculate whether this might cause the marriage between the two families to fall apart.
Early in the morning, everyone was gathered around these two top-tier wealthy families, gossiping about them.
Zhong Fangqi, on the other hand, was not in a hurry. To her "friends" who were concerned about her child's marriage, she simply said that the two were incompatible and destined to be apart.
But do people believe that? Of course not. There must have been an internal problem, which is why the Ji family severed ties overnight.
Their friends were even more surprised.
When it comes to having fun, the princes of Beijing's elite circle and the princesses of Shanghai's elite circle really know how to have fun.
They officially announced their divorce on their wedding anniversary.
No wonder they sit so confidently at the center of their respective social circles; their style is bold and abstract.
Therefore, some people say that marriages between wealthy families from the North and South are not sustainable.
However, the two of them were the last to know all this.
After all, those employees didn't make a single phone call; they all got their work done without making a single call.
I strive to make my boss worry-free, at ease, and willing to give him a raise.
When Zhong Yan woke up, he found that the weather had changed, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He took out his phone and started yelling at the person on the other end.
"Today is my wedding anniversary. Do you think I would announce a divorce today? Are you out of your mind? Have you been eaten by a dog?"
