Chapter 22 Zhong Yan felt a strange mix of emotions.
Ji Ting realized what was happening and his voice was slightly angry, "How did you peel it off? Who gave you permission? How come I didn't know?"
Zhong Yan narrowed his eyes, his thoughts pausing for a moment.
Qinghe Real Estate accounts for 17% of Ji's assets. How should it be divided, and to whom should it be given? Is she thinking of giving up the real estate company to Ji Ting and then severing ties with him?
How could you be so foolish? This business was started by Ji Qing. It's enough that he helped these poor relatives get rich. Why do you still want to divide the family property?
Zhong Yan didn't say anything; it wasn't his money anyway, so he couldn't be bothered to care.
Ji Ting asked Ji Qing, "Fourth brother, what does this mean?"
Ji Qing and Ji Tanyuan exchanged glances, then put down their chopsticks: "The real estate sector will be separated and no longer belong to the Ji Group headquarters. The equity division needs to be re-discussed."
Ji Ting scoffed, "I think this isn't a discussion, it's a direct notification."
"Fourth brother, don't forget, we are the real brothers. When you got into university, Mom and Dad favored you and gave you more money, and I didn't object."
“Back then, our family was so poor. Your parents worked from dawn till dusk for you, and they passed away before they even had a chance to enjoy their happiness. We didn’t even have a chance to be filial to them.”
Ji Ting took a sip of wine and looked at Zhong Yan, who had been silent all along. "Look at me, I got so sentimental that I forgot my nephew-in-law was here. Don't laugh at me, I'm just a sentimental person and I value family too much."
Zhong Yan nodded slightly, "It's alright, I understand. Father is doing well, isn't he?"
"However, it is not conducive to the development of an emerging industry and a traditional industry in the same equity structure system. Tan Yuan's opinion is very pertinent."
"Later, the Central Financial and Economic Affairs Commission will also issue policies to support the emerging chip industry, separate the real estate sector, and make the Ji family a trendsetter for new economic enterprises, which will help them develop to a higher level," Zhong Yan said.
Ji Tanyuan turned to look at Zhong Yan, seemingly surprised that he would bring this up.
Zhong Yan didn't look at Ji Tanyuan next to him. He sat there as if he were a natural protagonist, and he could quiet people down with just a few words.
Ji Ting was speechless. He really didn't dare to say something like "mind your own business" in front of Zhong Yan.
Zhong Yan looks gentle, but when he sits there, his superior presence is impossible to ignore.
Ji Tanyuan smiled and said, "I understand that you have done a lot for Qinghe Real Estate, so my father and I plan to transfer the decision-making power to you. I can also give you the shares I hold."
Ji Ting was stunned. "What did you say?"
"Regarding the equity division, all your shares will be transferred to Qinghe Real Estate, which will give you absolute control after integration."
Ji Ting was really struggling to keep up. He used to be a poor student, and he didn't have any assistants or lawyers around him for fear that his niece would set him up for trouble.
"Wait a moment, let me catch my breath."
The second and third sons of the Ji family were really unhappy to hear Ji Tanyuan's words. They were all uncles, so why did the eldest son get to say so much? Why?
"Fourth brother, say something!" Ji Tanyuan's second uncle, Ji Yu, urged.
You're not even dead yet, and your daughter is already eager to reorganize the company.
Moreover, she's already married and moved out. With so many men here, when did it become the decision-maker for a married woman returning to her parents' home?
Ji Zhan was stunned for a moment, "Huanghuang, you're married."
Ji Tanyuan nodded, "Yes, brother, I got married and my husband is right next to me."
“Then you don’t need to worry about things at home,” Ji Zhan couldn’t help but say.
Ji Tanyuan smiled and said, "Brother, this is my dad's company, not your dad's."
Seeing his son being rebuked, Ji Yu became even angrier, "What do you mean, 'you'..."
Then Zhong Yan lifted his eyelids slightly, looked over casually, and remained expressionless.
That face was elegant and handsome, with a commanding gaze, the kind of imposing presence cultivated over a long period at the top of the power structure.
Even though he was over fifty, he was still a little apprehensive.
Ji Yu choked, deflated, and couldn't utter a word.
Ji Tanyuan stood up. "I'm full. I'll go next door to say hello and then go back with Ayan. We have a gathering with friends."
Ji Tanyuan glanced at her father, who remained silent, and left without saying a word.
Zhong Yan stood up, thinking to herself that she had played the role of a husband so well, providing perfect support.
Is there any husband in the world who is more competent, patient, and respectful in a marriage arrangement than him?
No, there is only one, and that is Zhong Yan.
"Ji Tanyuan, you are so lucky. When it comes to marriage alliances, I am the most cooperative."
Ji Tanyuan couldn't laugh. "Really? I think my luck is just so-so."
“My dad is a pushover. From childhood to adulthood, he made my mother and me suffer while he played the good guy. He himself was also conflicted.”
Zhong Yan put his arm around her shoulder and said, "At least he didn't give you an illegitimate child. In our circle, your father is already quite rare."
Look at your uncle, he has seven or eight illegitimate children, he's practically a stud.
Zhong Yan was too embarrassed to say this aloud, but she only complained in her heart, after all, he was her uncle.
He looked down at the silent Ji Tanyuan. The person who had been smiling and focused on acting just moments before was now listless, and her once radiant face had slumped.
Zhong Yan felt a strange mix of tenderness and emotion. He reached out and cupped the back of her head, pulling her into his arms. "I'm here for you, okay?"
“You are Mrs. Zhong. Learn to use this identity to your advantage. Just like how I used the role of Ji Tanyuan’s husband to get to know Ji Tanyuan’s friend Duan Huaixu, and then cooperated with his Convolution Capital.”
This sentence was like a bomb, completely stunning Ji Tanyuan.
His voice even cracked slightly: "What?!"
"You and Duan Huaixu?"
Zhong Yan raised an eyebrow. "It's really hard to get an appointment with Convolution Capital, the largest venture capital firm in New York. I'm not omnipotent either, so naturally I need to use connections."
Ji Tanyuan cursed inwardly; Zhong Yan had tricked her into undermining her plans!
"You react like this just because a new energy project rejected you?"
Zhong Yan straightened up, with a knowing look on his face. "As expected, it was you who rejected Zhong Heng's investment. I knew it was you."
Ji Tanyuan laughed twice, then took his hand: "Husband."
"elder sister."
Before Ji Tanyuan could finish her sentence, she heard a sweet, coquettish voice coming from not far away.
The two turned their heads at the same time, and the door to the private room opened. A girl dressed in Lolita fashion was holding a beacon that was calling out to them.
Ji Tanyuan immediately forgot about her husband and ran to the dog, "Puppy, Mommy missed you so much!"
With just one glance, Zhong Yan saw her future nemesis, not her childhood sweethearts and male friends, but this big-eared, crowing donkey.
