Chapter 206 The Finale
Ji Tanyuan has been in the port city for over a week and has been busy every day. She finally managed to free up some time and invited Qin Yini for drinks.
Qin Yini glanced at her and said, "I don't realize you're a mother anymore."
Ji Tanyuan: "But I did become a mother."
Holding a bottle of wine and wearing exquisite makeup, she sat in a booth, still the epitome of Miss Ji. The diamond bracelet on her wrist shone brightly, its light reflecting off the lamplight with a cold and luxurious gleam.
She has matured a lot in her eyes and brows, appearing calm, gentle, and aloof. She is nearly 30 years old. Although she has not experienced setbacks in life, the troubles at work have long since turned her into a person of fame and fortune.
Qin Yini is the same. She is 31 years old now. She graduated from Oxford University at the age of 21 and worked in a law firm for 10 years. She didn't have much time to take a vacation. Especially in recent years, she was so tired that she only slept less than 6 hours a day. She didn't even have time to chat up beautiful women and handsome men.
"I'm going to the Northwest to provide legal aid and get closer to nature."
Upon hearing this, Ji Tanyuan was shocked: "Are you crazy? Why did you run so far?"
Qin Yini shrugged: "The Law Association organized an event where each law firm had to send one lawyer to provide legal aid, and I volunteered."
In recent years, the law has been used as a weapon, and the bottom line has been lost. This is not a good thing for legal professionals. Over time, they will become more and more ignoring of the rules.
Ji Tanyuan: "Tired?"
"It's really annoying to stay in the workplace for too long, Lao Ji," Qin Yini sighed. One of the most difficult things in the workplace is dealing with interpersonal relationships.
Intrigue, competition for resources, and a race against time.
Anyway, her family owns a law firm, so there's no need to worry about her losing her job when she comes back.
Ji Tanyuan: "Go."
After she finished drinking, she returned to the hotel and called Zhong Yan.
The other end answered after a while.
Ji Tanyuan was dissatisfied: "Why did you only answer now? I want to see my daughter."
Zhong Yan scoffed, "You still remember you have a daughter?"
Ji Tanyuan sniffed, "I miss her."
She pretended to wipe away non-existent tears, "I've been working overtime all week, and you still won't let me see my daughter."
"Do you think it's easy for me to make money?"
Zhong Yan had probably just finished a meeting; he was still wearing a suit and gold-rimmed glasses with blue light blocking, his features refined and his demeanor serious and aloof. He frowned as he looked at Ji Tanyuan, whose nose was bright red, through the camera lens.
"You've been drinking." (Statement)
Ji Tanyuan raised her voice, "After seeing Yini, I couldn't resist having a few drinks."
"She's going to the far northwest to do legal aid work. Why would she go and starve? I don't know what got into her head."
Zhong Yan didn't care when he heard this; he only asked Ji Tanyuan, "Did you drink the hangover soup?"
"My assistant got it for me, and I drank it," Ji Tanyuan said.
"Hurry up! I need to see Fuying. If you don't let me see her, I'll call Auntie."
Zhong Yan was somewhat dissatisfied: "Ji Tanyuan, I've noticed that you've become even more indifferent to me since you got together with Bige Ying."
Ji Tanyuan: "..."
"No way, I see you now, don't I? Xiaoying doesn't know how to answer the phone, so she has to go through you," Ji Tanyuan explained.
Zhong Yan stood up and moved her phone.
Soon Ji Fuying's face appeared in the camera's view.
Zhong Yan said from behind the camera, "Ji Fuying?"
The little girl sitting on the bed playing with her toys looked up when she heard the sound.
She let out a soft "ah," opened her arms, and wanted her dad to hold her.
The fabric of the suit was a bit stiff and cold, making Fuying uncomfortable sitting on the man's arm. She rubbed her bottom against his chest and climbed up.
Zhong Yan clicked his tongue, "Look who this is?"
Ji Fuying looked over, her big eyes filled with confusion. She saw her mother in the camera lens and didn't react for a long time.
Ji Tanyuan sighed, "Ji Fuying, I'm your mother! It's only been a week, and you've already forgotten me?"
Hearing the sound, Ji Fuying remembered.
I remember now.
The cries were deafening.
Zhong Yan patted her back: "Alright, alright, it's on the phone, isn't it? Look at your mother."
Ji Fuying cried while looking at her phone. She wanted to touch it, but Zhong Yan knew what she wanted to do and wouldn't let her.
This made Ji Fuying so angry that she wanted to cry even more.
Ji Tanyuan: "Give it to her."
Zhong Yan's expression was inscrutable, as if to say, "You said it, so don't regret it." Then Ji Fuying took the phone, chewed on it, and threw it on the ground.
Ji Tanyuan stared at the black screen of her phone: "..."
Zhong Yan looked at the phone lying on the ground and asked, "Should we go find Mom?"
Ji Fuying rested her head on her father's shoulder, tilting her head to the side, her chubby cheeks peeking out.
She rested for two minutes, then was full of energy again and wanted to run around outside.
"Time to sleep," Zhong Yan said in a deep voice.
He still has to work.
Ji Fuying wouldn't sleep; she clung to her father's neck and wouldn't let go. He tried to put her back in bed, but no way.
The next day, Zhong Yan had his things packed, planning to fly to Hong Kong.
The Zhong family was clearly reluctant to part with her. Zhong Yan said, "We originally planned to stay for a week and then fly to Hong Kong to see her mother. Her mother misses her child."
"When will you come again?" Zhou Yanyu asked.
Zhong Yan asked the nanny to hold the baby and said, "After the Spring Festival, we'll definitely spend it in Shanghai."
Zhou Yanyu hummed in agreement.
She teased her granddaughter, genuinely reluctant to part with her.
But what can be done? The daughter was born with great difficulty and raised in Shanghai. She even has the surname Ji. It's not like they're some small family that can't afford to raise her. They can't just take her away because they have a better family background and say it's for the child's own good.
"Bring your child to visit often."
——
Today is the day Tongji Hi-Tech rings the bell for its IPO. With its accounts overflowing with wealth, the decision to list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is simply to connect with a large amount of international capital and build factories overseas.
Emerging industries attract many investors, and this round of financing, with its large amount of funding and significant capital institutions, has created quite a stir in the port city.
At the listing ceremony, Duan Huaixu and Chi Mu, two major international capital figures, appeared together, along with more than a dozen shareholders, the CEO of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and other big names.
Ji Tanyuan, dressed in a black suit and with light makeup, stood calmly and composed in the center. She didn't rely on heavy makeup to project an aura, but rather stood quietly in the middle, drawing everyone's attention.
Her initial advocacy of abandoning the real estate market and focusing on semiconductors and new energy was undoubtedly the most correct choice.
The first opportunity brought Ji Qing entrepreneurial success.
The second opportunity came to Ji Tanyuan, who switched battlefields; it is rare for a rich second-generation to have such courage.
By abandoning the booming real estate market and investing heavily in emerging industries, this boldness—the courage to abandon half of their fathers' legacy and rebuild from scratch—has already surpassed that of a generation.
If he loses, he's a spendthrift second-generation rich kid; if he wins, he's an outstanding successor who surpasses his predecessors. Ji Tanyuan is undoubtedly the latter.
In the capital market, only results matter. As long as you succeed, "great scholars will come to defend you," which is ironic but true.
Ji Tanyuan only needs to consider whether she succeeds; reputation and such will come along with market value and public relations.
Sheng Wan stood not far away, watching her daughter. Sheng Xia stood beside her. "Huanghuang is so outstanding. She has her own golden age."
Sheng Wan smiled, her eyes filled with pride and joy: "Yes, the luckiest thing in my life is being her mother."
On the top floor of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange building, Zhong Yan did not attend the event. Instead, he sat on the sofa with his daughter beside him. He watched the live broadcast on TV, and Ji Tanyuan seemed to be shining under the media lights.
It's not just a feeling; she's always been radiant.
"Ji Fuying, which will you inherit, Zhong Heng or the Ji family name?"
Ji Fuying had just learned to roll over and was struggling to do so, already panting heavily, unable to hear what her father was saying.
An hour later, Ji Tanyuan went upstairs, opened the door, ran to Zhong Yan, bent down, cupped his face, and kissed his lips.
"What brings you here?"
Zhong Yan held her neck, tilted his head back, and kissed her deeply.
Meanwhile, Ji Fuying, who had finally managed to turn the tables and was forgotten on the sidelines, did not receive any praise from her father. Her big eyes were fixed on her unreliable parents' lovey-dovey relationship.

That concludes the article.
The story of Huanghuang and Yanyan has come to a temporary end. They both have the ability to find happiness for themselves and to bring happiness to each other. This is the end of the story, but also the beginning of their happy life together.
I enjoy writing their stories.
Thank you for reading.
We'll meet again someday, though mountains and rivers may separate us!
