Chapter 193 Miss Ji is now in the limelight.
Gu Beiming's wedding was in August.
Ji Tanyuan opened the invitation and looked at the names and photos on it. "They've been in a long-term relationship."
Ji Tanyuan remembered the gathering six years ago, and it was this same girl, the lawyer, the matchmaker, or Qin Yini.
Zhong Yan said, "I guess so. What do you think we are? A divorced couple's love marathon?"
Ji Tanyuan: "What kind of weird words are these? I think we're at the finish line."
Zhong Yan laughed and ruffled her hair. "You're right."
——
The wedding was held in Yanjing.
Zhong Yan and Ji Tanyuan arrived at the Yanjing Hotel the night before their wedding.
The first person she saw after getting off the plane was Liang Zhufu, who used to be her assistant but is now the department general manager.
Ji Tanyuan greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Liang, it's been a long time. I heard you got engaged and got a promotion. Congratulations!"
Liang Zhufu smiled and said, "Thank you, President Ji."
"Let me know when you get married, and I'll give you a gift."
"Okay."
Liang Zhufu wasn't going to mince words with these two people who were best at making money; he had been through a lot of trouble during those years.
Fortunately, Zhong Yan had a conscience and didn't hold him back. After things gradually stabilized at Kehua Group, he let him go and promoted him to the decision-making level of Zhongheng Group.
He asked, "Are you getting used to your current assistant?"
Zhong Yan slightly lifted her eyelids: "If I said I wasn't used to it, would you come back?"
Liang Zhufu exclaimed, "Of course! Even if it's tiring for me."
Zhong Yan chuckled.
He then walked away.
Liang Zhufu chuckled twice. Of course he's not used to it. His new assistant called him in the middle of the night, crying, asking for advice.
Although he was annoyed, he didn't dare to say things like "If you can do it, do it; if you can't, get out." Instead, he comforted her by saying, "Fortune favors the bold," "You've entered the core of Zhongheng," "The future is bright," and "Become a favorite of the emperor and enjoy promotions and huge salaries."
Otherwise, what if the assistant can't handle the mental pressure and quits, and then we have to transfer him back?
Liang Zhufu touched his nose and then went to report on his work.
On the road
Ji Tanyuan suddenly asked Liang Zhufu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "I heard you actually hired a feng shui master. Was it a girlfriend you found later, or one you found earlier?"
Zhong Yan laughed out loud when he heard this; he found it funny just thinking about it.
He suggested that he consult a feng shui master to see if there were any problems with the feng shui of Zhongheng Group, which convinced Shen Que, who had been unable to remarry him.
Shen Que felt that Zhong Yan made sense. To be precise, he was out of options at the time and was desperately trying anything, hoping that he might get lucky and it might work.
So he went to a well-known feng shui master in the financial industry to see what the problem was with the feng shui location of the Zhongheng Group headquarters building.
That master also trades stocks online. Does Zhong Heng's business be booming and he seem to need feng shui adjustments?
Shen Que directly stated that the reason was that Zhong Heng's senior executives had too many single men and their marriages were not going well, and wondered if their rivals had sabotaged them.
The master is truly impressed.
This is the first time he's seen someone summarize the problem of a company full of single men as a feng shui issue; it's a new challenge for the industry.
If this could be calculated, he would have become rich long ago by becoming a relationship coach or been invited by the Civil Affairs Bureau to serve as its director. Why would he be arguing with CEO Zhong Heng over some industry secrets?
Go back and sell some of Zhong Heng's shares. With a CEO like that, the market is bound to crash sooner or later.
The feng shui master finally gave a "one-size-fits-all" answer:
Zhongheng Group is prosperous in wealth and windfall gains, so it's normal for their love life to be a bit bumpy.
What kind of talk is that? So you can't have both of those things at the same time?
Shen Que then asked, "But so many people already have that."
"Then they aren't just lucky; someone like President Shen is."
Shen Que was speechless. "But my chairman, Zhong Yan, is currently in a relationship with a woman, and I don't even earn a fraction of what he does. How can you explain that?"
The master's eyes widened. "Which family's daughter is she?"
He needs to go back and study stocks, predict trends in advance, and make a profit by taking advantage of information asymmetry.
Seeing his expression, Shen Que said in a deep voice, "Sir, please be serious. I've already paid for this."
The master finally took a look at it for him. When the Zhongheng Group headquarters building was built, someone had already done the calculations, and there was no problem at all, nor was there any problem with the surrounding area.
The branch offices are not a big problem either.
Finally, the master had no choice but to say, "Perhaps everyone is working too hard and has no time to deal with their personal lives. A raise and more vacations would be fine."
Therefore, Zhongheng Group implemented a 9-to-5 work schedule, and also increased annual leave and expanded its talent pool.
During that period, in addition to the company's stock price rising, the employees' morale also improved.
The beneficiary emerged: Comrade Xiao Liang started dating.
Ji Tanyuan was shocked after hearing the whole story.
"OMG, is this even possible? Is it really this lively?"
"Did President Shen win back his ex-wife?"
They've worked so hard, it should be enough, right?
Liang Zhufu: "No, his ex-wife thinks it's great to raise a child alone, so she can't be bothered with him."
Zhong Yan kicked Liang Zhufu's back seat: "So you think you're so great, huh?"
Liang Zhufu shut up.
Ji Tanyuan laughed, "It's quite interesting."
As they chatted, they arrived at their destination, and Ji Tanyuan looked at the winery in front of her.
She and Zhong Yan held their wedding at this very place.
This place has a high degree of privacy and is mostly used for dining and lodging of leaders, and also occasionally for wedding banquets.
The restaurant was dimly lit, not too dazzling, but just warm, quiet, and understatedly luxurious.
But as you go further in, it becomes incredibly lively.
The night before the wedding was a bachelor party, attended only by young people.
When Ji Tanyuan and Zhong Yan arrived, the hall was already quite crowded.
The moment the two conspicuous figures appeared, the noisy hall fell silent.
Upon seeing the two, Cheng Gengxu greeted them before breaking the silence.
"You're here?"
Zhong Yan looked at him, feigning surprise: "Old Cheng, you actually showed up. I thought you'd only been chasing after your sweetheart all these years."
Cheng Gengxu's expression was indifferent, as cold as ever. "I'll be the best man."
Gu Beiming hung up the phone, came out onto the balcony, saw the two of them, and smiled.
"Well, I'm really popular, both of you came together."
Zhong Yan laughed and said, "That's impossible."
Ji Tanyuan greeted him, "Mr. Gu, congratulations."
Gu Beiming expressed his gratitude.
Rong Xi looked at the two standing together and said slowly, "I haven't congratulated President Ji yet. Tongji is about to go public."
Ji Tanyuan has kept a low profile for the past four years and has not appeared in public.
However, the dual-track R&D strategy implemented by Tongji High-Tech, which focused all its funds on liquid battery R&D, propelled Tongji High-Tech's development to new energy battery leadership positions like a rocket.
Ji Tanyuan's career can be described as smooth sailing. Later, after seeing the cooperation process between her and the Qing government team in Jinglong Co., Ltd., one provided technology and capital, and brought talent and the upstream semiconductor market, while the latter provided specific policy support.
She then realized that Ji Tanyuan's arranged marriage was a way to increase her own leverage. She was using her marriage as a tool to fight for her own interests, not for her father or the Ji family, but for herself.
When Rongxi figured it out, he had to admire Ji Tanyuan's strategic planning, because new energy and semiconductors are the most popular sectors on the Science and Technology Innovation Board, and in the initial stage, it is necessary to negotiate with relevant government departments for relevant qualifications and certifications.
By leveraging the Zhong family's connections, the time spent on negotiations was shortened, efficiency was increased, procedures were simplified, and they gained an advantage over other companies.
It's important to understand that the Ji family already had a significant presence in these two sectors before the merger, possessing unique patented technologies; otherwise, they wouldn't have attracted the attention of other companies.
However, due to the nature of Qinghe Real Estate, it was not particularly outstanding. Once Ji Tanyuan took power, she abandoned the then highly profitable real estate industry and turned to technology.
If the real estate industry was the industry leader a few years ago, that's no longer necessarily the case.
Even if Rong Xi didn't like her, he had to admit that Ji Tanyuan had made a good move.
"Miss Ji is currently enjoying immense popularity."
Ji Tanyuan looked over, met Rong Xi's gaze, and smiled: "Not at all, Miss Rong. If you need to sell your property, you can come to me. Since you took over my property, I can help you alleviate your debt crisis."
Rong Xi's face turned cold; this sarcastic and unpleasant gentleness was truly unsettling.
She turned to Zhong Yan and said, "Shuyun has returned to China, did you know?"
"She finally graduated."
Rongxi's words sparked endless speculation.
Zhong Yan raised an eyebrow: "She graduated? That's a miracle. I'll have to ask her school about her grades sometime so she could have graduated without any mistakes."
Rongxi shut up, giving up on bothering him. A slight pang of sympathy for Shuyun made her say instead, "You should let her go. She's had a tough time."
Zhong Yan: "Then you're talking nonsense."
Rong Xi gave a forced smile, "Hehe, sorry, it's a habit."
——
While Ji Tanyuan was in the restroom, she ran into Wen Yi'an.
Over the years, Wen Yi'an's appearance has become a little brighter, which shows that she is indeed more comfortable away from the old lady.
Wen Yi'an also looked at this person who had only been her sister-in-law for a little over a year.
She finally accepted that Ji Tanyuan and she were not from the same world. Ji Tanyuan was still bright and dignified, wearing a black dress, her skin so white it glowed.
However, he has a lot of inner refinement and an aura of someone who has been in a high position in the world of fame and fortune for many years.
With a calm and composed expression, a smile that didn't quite reveal his emotions, Wen Yi'an smiled and said, "Long time no see."
Ji Tanyuan nodded.
Wen Yi'an thought for a moment and said, "You don't plan to remarry? Perhaps you are more suitable to be the wife of the Zhong family than I am."
Ji Tanyuan: "No, Miss Wen, what you're saying sounds like an insult."
Wen Yi'an was taken aback. "No, you should understand what I mean. Perhaps only someone as capable as you can handle this job."
Ji Tanyuan laughed, "I'm not up to the task, otherwise why do you think I couldn't stand it after a year?"
After Ji Tanyuan finished speaking, she said goodbye and turned to leave.
