Chapter 40: The two were a good match in terms of appearance.
Because Zhong Yan's family didn't have any change of clothes or cosmetics, Ji Tanyuan went to her own house in her pajamas early in the morning.
This also made Zhong Yan realize that the two of them actually owned properties in the same neighborhood.
Ji Tanyuan's room is a large single-level apartment, with a floor area of over 1,000 square meters. Upon entering, you are greeted by a warm white and light pink decor, with a touch of Monet's garden style.
The huge floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the Bund, with the Oriental Pearl Tower right in front of you, offering an even better view than from Zhongyan's side.
Ji Tanyuan said that this was a gift from her father for her coming-of-age ceremony, so she decorated the house with a girlish touch.
Zhong Yan: "Have you been living here for a long time?"
Ji Tanyuan nodded, "My mom lives a nomadic life, my dad is busy, so I live alone."
Zhong Yan thought to herself, no wonder she said her family wasn't that troublesome, there was no one there at all.
The housekeeper was truly amazed when she saw Ji Tanyuan's husband. He was 188 cm tall, wearing a black shirt and black suit pants. He was well-built and stylish, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs.
Just like the Hong Kong and Taiwanese stars she admired when she was young, he has a distinct nose and eyes, clear and handsome features, and perfect proportions. He's a perfect match for Miss.
She had previously worried that such a fine young lady might marry an ugly man, but it was clear that she was overthinking it; the two were a perfect match in terms of appearance.
She bowed slightly: "Sir, what would you like for breakfast?"
Zhong Yan walked inside. "An Americano and a sandwich will do, thank you."
Ji Tanyuan changed her clothes and put on makeup, and came out 40 minutes later.
Zhong Yan looked up and saw a black suit and silk satin shirt, gold earrings, a low ponytail parted in the middle, and a pair of 10cm high red-soled black high heels.
Zhong Yan asked, "Is there a meeting today?"
Ji Tanyuan sat at the dining table: "Yeah, there might be some news. Honey, you should handle the public relations."
Zhong Yan took a sip of coffee, lifted his eyelids, and lazily looked over: "Didn't you ever think that the board of directors would mind that you're married?"
Ji Tanyuan raised an eyebrow. "My husband is Zhong Yan, you know. Do they dare?"
At least until the project stabilizes, they won't dare openly say she's an outsider. Her marriage is tied to the interests of the group's cooperative projects. If she's unhappy, she could use her status as Mrs. Zhong to investigate them, and no one will have an easy time.
Zhong Yan laughed, his eyes crinkling with amusement. "You really don't stand on ceremony."
Ren Ji Tan Yuan is delicate but not pretentious, and she takes what she deserves without hesitation.
Of course, Zhong Yan is also this kind of person.
Around 9 a.m.
Assistant Liang and his entourage waited at the building entrance, and their expressions turned serious as the car arrived.
Gone are his usual eccentricities and uncontrollable urge to complain; last night he received a last-minute notice to lead a team to Hujiang to begin urgent work.
If the Ji family began to purge corrupt elements after stabilizing their situation, then Zhong Yan intended to disrupt the market at this time and seize the opportunity to expand his territory.
The car door opened, and Zhong Yan, wearing large black-framed sunglasses, was greeted by a group of people. He tossed the keys to his bodyguard and then walked forward.
"Have all the senior executives of Huaxin Technology arrived?"
"arrive."
Zhong Yan walked to the front and asked, "Have the Ji family's people arrived yet?"
"They're here."
Zhong Yan hummed in agreement, "I understand."
"Have the PR team prepare information about Zidian Technology's progress, and wait for my notification."
Zidian Technology is a project company jointly owned by the Ji family and Zhong Heng, with the Ji family holding 50% of the shares and Zhong Heng Group's Huaxin Technology Company holding 50%.
The conference room door opened, and Zhong Yan appeared in the doorway. Ji Yingying stood up, looked at the person in front of her, and, remembering her father's instructions, called out "brother-in-law" first in the quiet atmosphere.
Zhong Yan sat down, chuckled softly, seemingly unaffected by the serious atmosphere, appearing relaxed and carefree.
"During working hours, Ms. Ji, please be mindful of how you address people."
At almost the same time, Ji Tanyuan stepped into the conference room at the Ji's Building on the other side.
There were almost no young people inside, and she was the youngest among them, and also the woman with the smallest gender ratio.
Now she has to deal with multiple people at once, kicking them out. Just thinking about it is exhausting.
Assistant Liang didn't have time to internally complain, but Ji Tanyuan did, and even felt a little like she was acting.
At this moment, she was playing the role of a domineering CEO. While other domineering CEOs are aloof and powerful, she dressed in a particularly domineering style, with bright red lips, striving to outshine those uncles who were either overweight or balding in appearance.
But when she actually got to the scene, Ji Tanyuan couldn't help it; she wanted to burst out laughing and let herself laugh.
"Good morning, everyone," she greeted softly.
Looking at it this way, it's like a white rabbit falling into a pack of wolves.
Looking at his daughter's smiling face, Ji Qing recalled Ji Tanyuan's personality from childhood to adulthood.
She is gentle yet firm, always has a good temper, and greets people with a smile, genuinely friendly, but deep down she is very opinionated.
His expression was somber. He knew his daughter's thoughts: to clear out these cronies and return the company to its core function as a high-tech production group, to invest funds in technology, and to let more professionals take the lead.
All of these are fine, but his surname is Ji, and the future heir must also have the surname Ji. Ji Qing looked up at his confident older brother and tapped the table.
"I'm sure everyone knows the theme of today's shareholders' meeting."
Ji Ting, sitting in the first seat to Ji Qing's left, nodded upon hearing this: "I've thought about Qinghe Real Estate separating from the Ji family for a long time, but I still can't figure out the meaning behind it. The Ji family started out in real estate, is this forgetting their roots?"
Ji Tanyuan: "The Ji family started out in real estate, but they don't necessarily have to stay in real estate forever, especially in the current environment. The decline in real estate can easily affect the Ji family's operations in other industries, especially semiconductors and new energy, which now occupy the main business of the Ji family."
Ji Ting chuckled. "So, niece, you mean to send us old ministers to a dead-end industry while you stay in a sunrise industry?"
Ji Tanyuan opened the document. "No, Uncle, you can stay with the Ji family. Then Qinghe Real Estate will have nothing to do with you anymore."
"If you agree to this plan, your team will need to explain to the board in advance why the company's non-performing assets are so serious."
"By the way, let me explain the actions of your three illegitimate sons who, while working in Qinghe, used their positions to acquire a large number of properties at low prices."
Ji Ting's expression changed drastically. He slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and his face trembled with anger: "Ji Tanyuan, you've gone too far! Now you're starting to interrogate me? Who do you think you are?"
Ji Tanyuan crossed her legs. "Uncle, don't be in such a hurry. It's better for me to ask you than for the Housing and Construction Bureau, the Municipal Regulatory Bureau, the Audit Bureau, or the bank to come and ask you, right?"
Ji Ting took a deep breath and looked at his young niece. "You are not qualified now. If anyone should ask, it should be your father."
"Ji Yingying just went to Zhong Yan's place. The Zhong family doesn't necessarily need you. Besides, I recently heard that your brother is still alive. So, Ji Tanyuan, you should just stick to being a proper young lady."
Ji Tanyuan stopped laughing, and Ji Qing's expression suddenly changed: "What did you say?"
Ji Ting sighed: "Ever since Zhihe left, I could see the pain you two were going through, so I didn't give up and kept searching. Finally, I've made some progress. Fourth brother, your son is still alive."
Ji Qing was somewhat agitated, and it took him a long time to calm down: "This is a private matter, let's have a meeting first."
He hadn't forgotten that this was a shareholders' meeting.
Ji Tanyuan glanced at the barely suppressed excitement in her father's eyes, and her heart sank.
On the other side
Ji Yingying stayed behind to stop people, and she bit her lip and called out "brother-in-law".
Zhong Yan lowered his eyes. "Miss Ji, is there something you need?"
Seeing that he was finally willing to talk to her, Ji Yingying quickly said, "Are you troubled by the deadlock in the 1:1 equity split of Zidian Technology? My father said that we can sell some of the Zidian Technology shares and let you become the majority shareholder."
Zhong Yan's expression changed. "What did you say?"
