Chapter 46 The Arrogant Tiger
Ring ring
The alarm clock rang, and Ji Tanyuan reached out her arm to turn it off.
I opened my eyes, and the sunlight streamed through the gap in the curtains, landing precisely on the hickey on my arm.
ambiguous.
Ji Tanyuan closed her eyes to calm herself down.
When Duan Huaixu called, Ji Tanyuan had already been lying in bed for an hour.
The other party cut to the chase: "When are you getting a divorce?"
Ji Tanyuan: "..."
"Are you crazy? Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Duan Huaixu's voice was hoarse from the early morning, but it was actually from the exhaustion of not having slept all night.
"Are you busy with two things at once? Qinghe Real Estate has been targeted by Furong Real Estate."
Ji Tanyuan nodded, "I know, Rongxi has always wanted the two plots of land from Qinghe Real Estate."
"I would like to sell. It's best to get out of the real estate market as soon as possible after profiting from it, while it hasn't bottomed out yet, so I can get a good price. But..."
Duan Huaixu answered for her: "But your father has sentiments, is that what you're trying to say?"
Ji Tanyuan's silence was taken as tacit agreement.
Duan Huaixu took a sip of water and suddenly asked, "Isn't it almost your birthday? You'll be 24 after your birthday."
Ji Tanyuan was puzzled as to why she suddenly asked this question. "Yes, what's wrong?"
"24 years old, not young anymore. Do you believe a businessman is a completely good person? Is your dad really just driven by ideals? Or is there some dangerous situation involved that requires careful rectification?"
“Huanghuang, I went to see Uncle yesterday. He lives alone in a villa. You’re still angry with him, and he’s not having a good time either.”
"He may be in a difficult position, but you shouldn't do this for your in-laws' sake..."
Ji Tanyuan sat up. "It's not because of the Zhong family, it's because of my uncle, Duan Huaixu. Who are you to talk to me like this? His tolerance of my uncle is based on my grievances. Why can't I be angry?"
"You have such a bad temper at home, but you're so good-tempered in front of outsiders. Isn't it just because he's your father?"
Ji Tanyuan chuckled, "Yeah, it's because he's my dad that I feel wronged. You have no idea."
Duan Huaixu: "Huanghuang, don't act like a child."
Ji Tanyuan hung up the phone and closed her eyes. Duan Huaixu was 6 years older than her. He had asked her father to take her to work since she was 18 and started her internship.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he taught her everything he knew; he truly deserves to be called Ji Tanyuan's teacher.
Ji Tanyuan might listen attentively to other people's advice, but she didn't want to listen to family matters.
Ji Tanyuan rolled around on the bed, from one end to the other, and then rolled back.
I opened my phone and realized that my last conversation with my father was two weeks ago.
She put down her phone and closed her eyes, pretending to sleep.
After a while, he still picked up his phone and made a call.
The call was answered instantly, and Ji Tanyuan murmured, "Dad."
Ji Qing hummed in agreement, "Just got up?"
Ji Tanyuan hummed in response, "You're working."
Ji Qing smiled. "No, how have you been lately?"
Ji Tanyuan replied, "It's fine. How about you?"
"I'm fine too."
They looked at each other in silence. As if afraid she would hang up, Ji Qing said again:
"Huanghuang, don't get involved in Qinghe Real Estate's affairs, understand? Just stay in Yanjing and live your own life. Dad will handle the group's affairs."
Ji Tanyuan pursed her lips. "I want to know the reason."
"Selling off real estate and exiting the market isn't that simple. If you get too involved with me, your in-laws won't like it."
Ji Tanyuan: "Then my marriage alliance is useless?"
"Now that I'm making you avoid suspicion, what's the point of my arranged marriage?"
Ji Qing sighed, "Look at you, you're angry again. Why are you getting angry more and more often these days?"
Ji Tanyuan squatted on the bed, head down, her fingers circling on the silk quilt. "Dad, don't worry about me, I'm actually fine now."
"Okay, don't worry about me."
Ji Qing hung up the phone, and his assistant sighed, "Why didn't you talk to Miss Ji? Maybe she could help."
Ji Qing looked out the window. "That day, she cried and said she felt wronged by the arranged marriage."
He then said no more, "Continue applying, and if anything gets stuck, improve it."
"That's them deliberately making things difficult for us. No matter how many times we revise it, it won't make a difference."
A company has no chance of winning when it goes against government departments.
"Let's make an appointment with Chen Gui."
Ji Tanyuan hung up the phone and stood up.
While changing her clothes, she called Lu Ke, "What's been going on at the company lately?"
Lu Ke said no, and Ji Tanyuan said in a deep voice: "Lu Ke, think about whose side you are on."
After Lu Ke said a few words, Ji Tanyuan's expression turned completely cold. "You're stopping my father. I'll handle this. Also, I'll take care of the asset integration of Qinghe Real Estate. If Rongxi dares to obstruct my procedures, I'll make sure she suffers."
She spent five minutes washing up, ten minutes putting on light makeup, and then went downstairs and left without having breakfast.
Ji Tanyuan's newly established technology company focuses on the domestic CMP consumables market, completing the upstream extension of Zidian Microelectronics.
"You could say that your wife has practically taken over the entire upstream and downstream of the Zhong and Ji projects."
“If you ever want to kick her out, you can shut her down in no time,” said Shen Que, CEO of Zhongheng Group.
Zhong Yan actually laughed and exclaimed, "Ah, that's great!"
Seeing the chairman's expression, Shen Que said, "This is not what we planned. What's wrong with you?"
The original plan was for Zhong Heng to revive the Ji family, enter the microelectronics industry, and then assist the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission in injecting funds to achieve 100% nationalization through a backdoor listing.
However, only the Zhongyan Brain team knew about this; almost no one else knew.
If the Ji family's target value is to maintain corporate independence and flexibility, then the acquisition will be difficult.
That's true, working for someone else and being your own boss are never the same.
Zhong Yan: "Actually, what I did was almost the same as taking advantage of someone who has no family to support them."
Shen Que blushed and said, "Please don't say that. The acquisition is paid for. If everything goes smoothly, the Ji family will retain decision-making power."
"And you won't gain anything either."
It's not like I'm getting something for nothing; I'm helping to complete the acquisition.
“But my dad has it; it’s been included in his political achievements.”
Zhong Yan tapped the table, "Actually, I suddenly don't want to cooperate anymore."
Chen Que remained silent. "You're doing this for love?"
"No, it's just that I've discovered that Zidian Technology is making too much money. Would you choose to make a fixed amount of money or to make a continuous stream of income?" Zhong Yan asked.
Assistant Liang, who was standing nearby, advised, "Boss, are you betraying your father?"
"At that time, it won't just be the Ji family that falls; we could all be targeted."
Liang Zhufu felt that he was just a working-class person, and he was being dragged into the struggle of these powerful people to become cannon fodder. His salary was not commensurate with the risks he was taking.
Sure enough, Zhong Yan gave a fake smile: "You want a raise, huh?"
Assistant Liang thought to herself, "We're on the same wavelength!" and asked, "Is that alright?"
“Sure, just let Chu He give you the potato-digging position he took over, you can sell it however you like.”
"..."
Zhong Yan turned his office chair around and looked at the tall buildings outside. No matter how tall they were, they couldn't be higher than the sky.
"Wait a minute, I always feel that my wife is more intimidating than her father."
If Ji Qing knew that the people would not fight against the officials, he would know to bow his head and bend his back.
However, Ji Tanyuan, who appears soft and delicate on the surface, may not necessarily possess the kind of reckless arrogance unique to young people.
