Chapter 152 No Light
As for the relationship between the two, Ji Tanyuan really couldn't give a clear answer.
Others get married first and fall in love later, but they divorced first and then fell in love? That's just outrageous.
Especially since she had just fallen out with the Zhong family, it wasn't a good idea for her to get back together with her ex-husband.
Ji Tanyuan supported Zhong Yan's face with both hands, her expression serious; she was not bluffing.
“We’re divorced, Zhong Yan. You have to face reality. We can’t be too close on the surface now. What if others know we’re just playing around and there’s suspicion of fraud?”
Zhong Yan pulled down her wrist and gripped it tightly, his expression cold, his back to the light making his expression unreadable.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not stupid."
Ji Tanyuan choked, "How could I think you're a fool? Isn't it the truth?"
"Anyway, remarriage is impossible. I can't go back to the Zhong family. Marrying into the family is also out of the question. Your father would never agree to that."
What about you? Do you agree?
Ji Tanyuan pursed her lips, then lowered her head to kiss the corner of his mouth. "I'm tired."
Zhong Yan sat there, letting her lower her head and kiss him seductively, without asking any further questions.
He raised his hand and cupped the back of her head, deepening the kiss.
Ji Tanyuan's matter did not alarm anyone else.
She rested for a day and went to the company the next day.
Zhong Yan was even busier with meetings.
Assistant Liang was recalled overnight. He was actually satisfied, after all, he had taken a fairly long vacation, but he also knew that it would be difficult to take vacations in the future.
When he entered, Zhong Yan was sitting in the boss's chair reading documents. Hearing the sound, he looked up at Assistant Liang, who seemed to be in good spirits, and said, "You seem to be enjoying yourself."
Assistant Liang's heart sank. Could this kid have become a psychopath who gets upset when others are happy?
Assistant Liang smiled and said, "No, I miss you terribly. A day apart feels like three autumns."
Zhong Yan chuckled, "I heard from Chu He that you went on a blind date?"
Liang Zhufu touched his head, "I'm not young anymore, and my family is worried."
Zhong Yan looked at the screen and the documents, and said casually, "It's fine."
It's good or something, but there's no specifics.
He then asked, "Going back to your hometown? Do you have any favorites in Yanjing? If you find a suitable one, let me know, and I'll vouch for you. I'll give you an extra executive offer."
Besides serving as the chairman's special assistant, Assistant Liang also holds other positions, but Zhong Yan's recent statement is nothing more than an affirmation of his abilities.
Assistant Liang has retracted her boss's twisted idea; she's clearly showing some conscience now.
Liang Zhufu smiled and said, "Then I'll thank you in advance."
Zhong Yan nodded and said, "I've always felt that there's something wrong with the feng shui of Zhongheng Group. Shen Que is divorced, I'm divorced, and not many of the other senior executives have happy families. You should try it too. If it doesn't work for you either, we'll have to have the feng shui checked."
Assistant Liang: "..."
Feng shui has been unfairly blamed for its problems since ancient times.
Zhong Yan continued:
"Make arrangements for a meeting with Yuan Fengchi Mu; he's come to Shanghai."
"yes."
Speaking of Yuanfeng Securities, ever since Ji Tanyuan signed the contract with Chi Mu, Ji Tanyuan's side immediately ran into trouble, leading Yuanfeng Group to assess the Ji family as having high risks.
Therefore, Chi Mu had been angry with Ji Tanyuan for a long time.
When he saw Ji Tanyuan flipping through the contract for the second time, he thought she was just excited out of disbelief, after all, it was understandable to be excited about receiving such a large investment from Yuanfeng.
Unexpectedly, Ji's father ran into trouble at that time, on the verge of a major financial crisis. She was worried that he would run away, and she had already made plans to bring Yuanfeng out to fill the hole and increase credibility.
Chi Mu's arrival was packed with arrangements, but he first made an appointment with Zhong Yan.
The implication is likely that this represents further cooperation between Hong Kong's capital tycoons and mainland companies, primarily in the south.
Zhong Heng's conquest of the southern market has not stopped; he seems to intend to settle down there.
Nanhe Club Golf Hall No. 3.
Zhong Yan's height of 188 cm made him stand out among the crowd, and Chi Mu was not short either; the two had equally impressive presences.
However, Chi Mu is more composed, with a sharp and cold profile, serious and upright. He has connections and influence in Hong Kong, but he also has to hide his sharpness when he comes to the mainland.
Zhong Yan was more casual, with fair skin and a handsome and delicate appearance. He was incredibly noble, wearing a custom-made white shirt with the shirt rolled up, revealing his elbows and the Patek Philippe watch on his wrist, which attracted many people to stop and stare.
I don't know if he's been having a secret relationship with Ji Tanyuan lately, but Zhong Yan, who's been "out of the public eye," has become even paler.
Just two days ago, Ji Tanyuan asked him if he had been secretly using her skincare products because his skin looked so good.
Chi Mu asked him if his next step was really to confront Ji Tanyuan.
Zhong Yan, wearing sunglasses, swung his club, gazed into the distance, and said, "No intention. It's just normal business activity. There's nothing intentional about it."
Chi Mu smiled:
"The semiconductor industry in mainland China isn't that big, especially in areas like high-end technology research and development. It's bound to be compared with other industries. And when you compare, there's competition. Competition can be healthy, but it can also be vicious."
"Aren't you afraid that one day you'll become enemies?"
Zhong Yan remained silent for a while before saying, "That depends on what the future holds."
"No one can guarantee what they will become in the future, but it's unlikely that we'll end up as enemies."
Chi Mu: "Then I can't follow your example. I need to find someone with no conflict of interest."
Zhong Yan scoffed, "Without a conflict of interest, there will be a conflict of values and class. Apart from conflicts over family matters, Ji Tanyuan and I are basically in the same social circle in terms of consumption, life and values, which avoids a lot of conflicts. This is also one of the factors that make a good match in terms of social status a lasting factor."
"But if you find someone who is weaker, then it is inevitable that the leadership position and the division of power over the years will make you see the other person as an object to be controlled. That is a distorted and short-lived relationship. Your long-term relationship will be built on the sacrifice of the other person's personality of being in a subordinate position and looking up to them."
Chi Mu narrowed his eyes slightly: "How come you have so much experience? You didn't actually sign up for a class, did you?"
Zhong Yan: "Do you know why his woman ran away, based on the experience Old Cheng gave you?"
Chi Mu asked in surprise, "His woman ran away?"
Zhong Yan ignored Chi Mu's question and said, "You're focusing on the wrong thing. I'm asking whether his woman ran away or not. I'm asking why!"
"Forget it, I can't reason with an old bachelor like you."
Chi Mu's face darkened. "Zhong Yan, you're unhappy yourself, and you don't want others to be happy either?"
Zhong Yan swung the club again, his movements were standard, his arm lines were taut, and he looked strangely sexy. Rong Xi saw this scene when she arrived.
She smiled and said, "Sorry I'm late, what shall we talk about?"
Zhong Yan stopped what he was doing and turned to look.
He wasn't surprised that Rong Xi came over; he simply nodded and continued playing.
Chi Mu shook hands with Rong Xi, "Long time no see."
Rong Xi was dressed in all white, wearing a white tracksuit and a baseball cap, with a gentle smile.
"Long time no see. I never expected that my first meeting with President Chi would be at Hujiang. Next time you come to Yanjing, I'll treat you to a meal."
Chi Mu said without hesitation, "Then it's a deal."
Rong Xi picked up the pole and moved forward, "What were you talking about just now? What happened to the woman from Gengxu?"
Zhong Yan: "Nothing much."
Rong Xi's smile froze. "Gengxu is also my friend."
Zhong Yan said calmly, "Then go ask him."
Rong Xi gripped the golf club tightly, his expression turning serious.
They stopped telling her things, and she was unwittingly excluded.
Chi Mu glanced at Zhong Yan, who had an ambiguous expression, and stepped in to smooth things over.
Seeing that there was a way out, Rong Xi said, "I thought you came here to meet with the Ji family, the head of Shanghai Jianghu, first."
Chi Mu smiled and said, "Isn't Zhongheng Group the national leader? We're all the same; we're all important partners of Yuanfeng."
"How about we invite President Ji along, as well as President Lan and the others, and get together for a get-together?"
