Chapter 89 If we have a falling out, we'll naturally get a divorce.
Ji Tanyuan stopped in her tracks because of those words.
She held onto the back of the chair, her back to Rongxi, and found it somewhat amusing.
"Please stop targeting us, my husband and I. If we have a falling out, we'll naturally get a divorce."
"Your inability to make money has little to do with whether Zhong Yan and I get married. Even if I divorce him, you won't get any benefit from it."
Rong Xi laughed, "That's not how it works. If you two don't get married, the Ji family might really not survive."
Ji Tanyuan turned around, her delicate features showing a hint of coldness and harshness:
"Even if the Ji family really faces bankruptcy and restructuring of some of its companies, it will be directly acquired by Hujiang Innovation Investment Group for one yuan. Do you really think you can snatch up Qinghe Real Estate for free?"
After Ji Tanyuan finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something and exclaimed "Oh!" in realization. "Now you're cooperating with Young Master Shen. Your common enemy is me. It's too late, but I still benefited."
Rong Xi narrowed her eyes, "So, back then, when you were driven to the brink by Shen Xichen, you just happened to choose the Zhong family, right?"
Shen Xichen probably didn't expect Zhong Yan to be lurking in the shadows, intercepting him.
Ji Tanyuan: "You think the Ji family was made things difficult for, and the Zhong family didn't help?"
Rong Xi was stunned, "Then why..."
Ji Tanyuan ignored her astonishment.
If the Ji family wants to live, they have to choose between two powerful families: one from Shanghai and the other from Yanjing. The Shen family is after the Ji family, while the Zhong family is different; they want to cooperate first, and the latter has some buffer.
Therefore, Ji Tanyuan can understand her father's choice.
Rong Xi tapped the desktop and looked at Ji Tanyuan.
"If only our interests didn't conflict."
Ji Tanyuan didn't want to say anything more and left directly.
Even if there's no conflict of interest, you can't be friends; your personalities are simply incompatible.
She was surrounded by many professional women, some she got along with and some she didn't. Ji Tanyuan knew clearly that she and Rong Xi couldn't get along; their personalities clashed.
Those outside the door saw Ji Tanyuan come out and spontaneously followed her.
Chen Hanwen said to her, "Leave the rest to me."
Ji Tanyuan nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
He then got directly into the car.
The three cars then drove away.
The remaining dozen or so elites stood and watched the person leave.
Chen Hanwen stood at the front, watching Ji Tanyuan's car disappear, and sighed deeply. He then said to the Ji Group executive beside him, "How was your young lady's performance today?"
The CEO, hands in his pockets, said, "I still have a lot to learn."
Chen Hanwen chuckled and patted the man on the shoulder, "Don't act like an elder in front of her, or you'll be one of the first to be dismissed when she takes over."
"Hey? Lawyer Chen, how can you talk like that?"
Chen Hanwen spread his hands and said, "Well, what the Crown Prince hated most when he ascended the throne was that some old ministers, relying on their father's help in conquering the country, put on airs in front of the new emperor."
The executive's expression changed. "How can you be so sure she'll inherit it?"
Chen Hanwen smiled but didn't say anything, and then left.
That's for sure. Isn't Ji Tanyuan's effort obvious?
Subsequently
Fu Rong Real Estate and Qinghe Real Estate jointly issued a statement in response to the previous transaction dispute.
This response provided a relatively dignified and satisfactory ending to the farce, preventing it from escalating to the courts.
If we absolutely have to say who won and who lost, we can only say that Qinghe made a fortune by throwing away the garbage, while Furong Real Estate suffered a silent loss.
The profitability of subsequent projects will depend on the operation of Fu Rong Real Estate. If things go well, they will turn a loss into a profit; if not, they will be stuck with the project.
It's that simple, but Rongxi will have to tighten his belt this year.
Ji Tanyuan went to the company first, where Lu Ke was waiting.
Lu Ke had just finished his meeting and was talking to Ding Yanna.
Ji Tanyuan entered the room, threw her bag aside, and said three words: "Solved."
She took a sip of water, and Lu Ke laughed, "How did you convince Yuanfeng Securities to issue a report? Today, the new energy sector has skyrocketed. Although Tongji is not listed, it has started to attract attention."
"Jiang Gu just called me. Investment institutions, venture capital firms, and local state-owned investment groups have already inquired about his financing intentions."
Ji Tanyuan put down her water glass, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Chi Mu, I met him last night, we chatted, and then we started working together."
Lu Ke: "Did you see Chi Mu?"
Ji Tanyuan hummed in agreement, "He's quite handsome."
Ding Yanna nodded, "I used to be in the same club as him. He was indeed very popular, but he was cold and didn't talk to others."
Ji Tanyuan didn't feel cold, not even as cold as Zhong Yan.
Zhong Yan was indeed in a low mood last night, and they barely spoke a few words to each other after they got back.
Ji Tanyuan only realized this after she finished her work.
She frowned, then took her phone out of her bag and saw her mother-in-law's missed calls.
Ji Tanyuan was startled; Zhou Yanyu didn't call her often.
She called back, cleared her throat, and when the other end answered, she said, "Mom, I'm sorry, I just finished a meeting and didn't answer the phone."
There was a soft "hmm" on the other end, sounding a little unhappy. "Neither you nor Ayan answered, so I called Xiaoliang again to tell you that we'll be at your father's hospital in half an hour, and you and Ayan should come as soon as possible."
Ji Tanyuan was shocked, and then said:
"Okay, sure."
Ji Tanyuan hung up the phone, "I have to go, I..."
She was about to say that her in-laws had come, but then she remembered the special nature of her father-in-law's profession and didn't say it. "I have an appointment, let's talk another day."
She went outside and called Zhong Yan, who answered immediately: "I'm downstairs, come down."
As Ji Tanyuan went downstairs, she saw the Bentley at the foot of the building's steps, and the driver got out to open the door for her.
Zhong Yan looked out of the car and saw her walking down the steps she had just been on.
She was wearing a beige suit with a black turtleneck underneath. The suit had a cinched waist design, which accentuated her slender waist. The trousers were straight, showing off her long legs, and she walked with a confident stride.
Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders, and a fine pearl adorned each ear.
She doesn't resemble a goddess descending to earth; she's more like a pearl with gold trim—warm, rich, elegant, and beautiful.
It seems like so many beautiful words can be used to describe her.
Zhong Yan had to admit at this moment that she was not fake; she was the perfect example.
Ji Tanyuan got into the car. "Sorry to keep you waiting. You should have called me first. What if you had come all this way and ended up empty-handed?"
Zhong Yan snapped out of her daze, noticed her hair was a bit messy, and tidied it up for her. "No rush."
Ji Tanyuan said reproachfully, "Why didn't you tell my parents that you were coming?"
Zhong Yan said helplessly, "I didn't expect it to be so fast. I was planning to tell you today, but they arrived today."
Ji Tanyuan tidied her hair. "Is your father alright at Shanghai?"
"What are you saying? Once he's here, how can he not leave?"
“My dad is more cunning than you or me. You just need to figure out how to protect yourself from him. You don’t need to worry about him.”
Upon hearing his words, Ji Tanyuan said, "How can I defend myself? If he were to implement a policy, or have the China Securities Regulatory Commission or the tax bureau investigate the Ji family, would I be able to refuse?"
"Also, Zhong Yan, Rong Xi said that you warned her before not to get involved in Qinghe Real Estate's mess, which was a veiled warning against the acquisition. Is that true?"
Snap.
Even faster than Zhong Yan's reply was the speed at which Liang, the assistant in the passenger seat, raised the partition.
