Chapter 60 Husband, say something!
Ji Tanyuan sat on the armrest of the sofa, the curves of her waist and hips fully displayed, exuding a gentle temperament.
Zhong Yan sat on the sofa, seemingly indifferent, her eyes lowered, making it impossible to discern her emotions.
Both of them were in a "go ahead and say it" attitude, as if they were listening.
Ji Tanyuan crossed her legs and sat on a high place, a head taller than the people sitting on the sofa, looking at the people with different expressions.
Indeed, wherever there are many people, there is a world of its own.
This guy surnamed Zhao is always stirring up trouble. Whether the Ji family owns a pharmaceutical company or not doesn't affect his business.
Ji Tanyuan knew from the first time she met him that he and she were on opposing sides, as did Rong Xi. The two cunning people dragged Shu Yun into it, making them annoyed.
Ji Tanyuan raised her hand and put it on Zhong Yan's shoulder beside her, "Honey, say something."
"..." Zhong Yan's smile froze.
It's been so long since Ji Tanyuan called him "husband." Ever since Ji Tanyuan stopped paying attention to him, she hasn't said a single word to him in private, let alone a sweet "husband."
He then shrugged and sighed, "They're richer than me, what can I do?"
“We’re really poor right now. We need to raise funds and invest, and we also need to negotiate prices with raw material suppliers. Rongxi, pay up sooner rather than later, so I can live off my wife a little.”
Upon hearing this, Rong Xi felt a little uneasy. Poor? How could Zhong Yan be poor? The annualized rate of return of Zhongheng Group has been increasing year by year, and the amount of money entering the account has only increased. Major banks and other financial institutions are vying to invest, so how could he be short of money?
All this is simply to make it clear to everyone that he and Ji Tanyuan are a community of shared interests, and that there is no question of him refusing to help someone in distress.
So why doesn't Qinghe Real Estate, with its lucrative Shanghai market, take a piece of the pie? Wouldn't it be better to directly inject capital and restructure the assets? Why bother with all this...?
Unless there is one exception.
There was thunder in Qinghe, but he didn't want it.
Rong Xi looked up at the two people opposite her and asked, "Why isn't Huashi Real Estate here?"
Zhong Yan said "Oh," and then added, "HuaShi is no longer entering Hujiang."
He had long since stopped focusing on real estate. Rongxi wanted to seize the last hurrah of real estate to make a fortune and make Furong the leader in the twilight of the real estate industry. He might as well go for it, since the risk of being trapped in it was too great anyway.
...
Ji Tanyuan left and went home halfway through the banquet; she only needed to make a brief appearance.
After Ji Tanyuan left, Zhong Yan also wanted to leave.
After thinking for a while, Rong Xi stopped Zhong Yan and asked, "What did you mean just now?"
Zhong Yan turned her head to look at her, "It doesn't mean anything."
After he finished speaking, he thought for a moment and then said:
"It's just that Rongxi, you have too many thoughts. Having too many thoughts is a good thing, but you have to use them in the right way."
"You're the one who brought Zhao Qingye into our circle. His ulterior motives are too obvious, and his methods are too low. Have you also been infected by him and become stupid?"
Zhong Yan spoke two sentences in a row, speaking without any politeness, arrogant and indifferent, his tone full of disdain.
Rong Xi's face turned deathly pale. "What do you mean?"
Zhong Yan curled her lips, but her eyes were filled with a chilling coldness that penetrated to the bone.
He looked down at Rongxi, "Last time I said Shuyun wasn't talking about you, right?"
“I know you’re using that idiot as a weapon and Wen Yi’an as an informant, but I’m just too lazy to care.”
Rong Xi laughed angrily, his eyes reddening: "Now you're starting to care? Because your wife is in danger?"
"Zhong Yan, should I be happy that you used to be quite tolerant of me?"
Zhong Yan frowned, then prepared to leave. "You couldn't affect me before, but now you can. Ji Tanyuan is my person. It's really weird that you're watching us every day and trying to sow discord between us."
Rong Xi took a step back in shock. "How could you say that?"
Zhong Yan was getting impatient. "Then how should I say it? That you're obsessed with Furong Real Estate and used to think about marrying into my company to take over Huashi? Or that you finally set your sights on Qinghe Real Estate but missed the opportunity when the Ji family married into my company, and now that you've succeeded, you think it's a trap?"
After saying that, he didn't bother to look at Rong Xi anymore, turned around and left, "This is not how you act as a behind-the-scenes manipulator. Your behavior is disgusting and unprofessional. This is the last time. From now on, Zhao Qingye will not be where I am. You better watch yourself."
These words were so harsh and sarcastic, especially since the tone was so nonchalant, making it seem like he was talking about a clown.
Rongxi felt that his dignity had been trampled into the ground.
Her fingers dug into her palm, she felt a surge of resentment. What right did he have to accuse her with such hypocrisy? From beginning to end, one or two vested interests had formed an alliance to force others into a series of defeats, yet he still accused them of being greedy and unseemly.
"You treat her like one of your own, but does she treat you like one of her own?"
Zhong Yan replied without hesitation, "That's none of your business."
Rong Xi blinked, her eyes shifting, suddenly revealing a ruthless intent, and she murmured, "Then don't blame me."
She took out her phone and called Zhao Qingye: "Come out."
...
Zhong Yan sat back in the car, loosened his tie, and felt a sense of unease that lingered in his heart after Rong Xi's words, though he couldn't pinpoint the reason.
Only he knew that he didn't completely consider Ji Tanyuan as one of his own. There were too many interests involved between them, and if he lost his temper, he would end up losing his wife and his money. So he had no right to criticize Ji Tanyuan for being wary of him.
But he actually started to get annoyed with their current situation and wanted to break down some barriers.
Ji Tanyuan appears lazy and unambitious all day, but in private, she has a vast network of connections like an octopus with tentacles. In the Zidian Technology chip industry, which the two companies cooperate on, the upstream supply chain includes companies held by her Shengjie Electronics and Jinglong Shares Shengda Group, and this is only what is known.
Suddenly, he spoke out of the blue:
"Do you think she's planning to use this to gain more leverage in the fight for Zidian after divorcing me, so she's taking control of everything that's holding her back, all to fight against me?"
Assistant Liang, sitting in the passenger seat, nodded upon hearing this: "That's possible."
But that's not entirely true. Do they not make any money?
He knows his boss is narcissistic, but if he's also narcissistic in his relationships, doesn't that just make him deserve to be single?
Oh wait, the boss isn't single anymore, but he could become single again at any time.
Zhong Yan paused for a moment, then said to Assistant Liang in front of him, "From now on, have someone keep a close eye on Ji Tanyuan."
Assistant Liang felt a chill run down his spine, thinking, "Boss, you must have misspoke. Shouldn't it be 'Staring at Rong Xi'?"
How do you keep an eye on your wife?
Zhong Yan repeated, "You heard me right, Ji Tanyuan, the one I married."
