Chapter 5: A North-South Marriage, With Connections to All Sides
The two returned to the villa, which was located in the Yanjing Yulong Guanzhi community on the Second Ring Road in Yanjing. The land there was extremely valuable, with only about forty villas, one of which was their marital home.
The building has five floors in total, two underground and three above ground. Each floor has an area of 200 square meters, and the garden area is 600 square meters, which is just right for two people to live in.
Upon entering the main gate, there is a pond for viewing, with a grassy flower bed in the middle and a one-meter-wide circular pond around it. The water is filtered through a circulating flow, and the koi carp inside are all plump and delicious.
Further inside is a semi-open-plan first-floor living room, brightly lit.
The maids weren't home; they had already gone home from get off work.
The male homeowner said he didn't like being disturbed during his private time, and he would call ahead if he needed dinner prepared.
Ji Tanyuan was not used to it. She was used to having a nanny at home, but Zhong Yan hated having too many irrelevant people at home. So the two reached an agreement: when Zhong Yan came back, the maid would go home, and when Zhong Yan left, the maid would go to work.
Ji Tanyuan entered the room, took off her shoes, threw her bag aside, and walked upstairs barefoot on the floor.
Zhong Yan stood behind her, watching helplessly as the young lady undressed as she walked, and he hesitated to speak.
Then she put her high heels in the shoe cabinet, put away her shawl, and got up to wash her hands and get some water.
The voice on the other end of the phone was that of the assistant. Assistant Liang hadn't left work yet and was arranging Zhong Yan's work. Actually, he would rather ask the boss to work overtime, as he could achieve twice the results with half the effort if he worked overtime. But Zhong Yan was the boss and didn't listen to him.
"Mr. Zhong, the meeting at nine o'clock tomorrow morning is about the acquisition of Qili Furniture. Tomorrow afternoon we will have a project meeting for the Huashi Real Estate Complex Shopping Center. In the evening we will have dinner with our partners."
Zhong Yan hummed in agreement, "I understand."
After finishing his work, Assistant Liang quietly asked, "Is your wife next to you?"
Zhong Yan tapped his finger on the glass, swallowed the ice water with his Adam's apple bobbing, and said, "Speak."
"The new energy company under the Ji family accepted a $2 billion investment from Convolution Capital, but did not accept our financing investment."
In short, you're no good son-in-law; you've already formed an alliance through marriage, yet you still can't get a share of the benefits.
Zhong Yan rinsed the cup and then put it in the drainer. "Has the energy regulatory office approved it too?"
"It's still going through the process, but because of my wife, it's going very quickly and is expected to be approved within a week."
It's no wonder that marriage alliances are so powerful; a marriage between the North and South, with connections to all sides, meant that Ji Tanyuan became the daughter-in-law of the Zhong family, and the efficiency with which she received government project approvals was incredibly fast.
Zhong Yan's Zhongheng Group and Ji's microelectronics chip technology have also reached a project cooperation agreement and successfully entered the Southern Semiconductor Chip Market.
After wiping his hands, Zhong Yan picked up his phone and put it to his ear. "You know, Ji Qing is no ordinary person. I used to think that my father-in-law got rich by taking advantage of the times. After all, his daughter is really useless. Go and check if he has any illegitimate children."
"Also, contact Huaxin Technology's management for a meeting."
"Also, regarding mergers and acquisitions..." Zhong Yan paused, then said, "Never mind, let's not contact them for now."
After washing up, Ji Tanyuan opened her tablet and looked at the auction items for tomorrow, which mainly featured jade. She only spoke after Zhong Yan came upstairs.
"Mom asked me to go shopping tomorrow. Is it to an auction?"
As Zhong Yan was unbuttoning his shirt, he said, "You can handle these high-profile things yourself. Mom and my sister-in-law won't go. Usually, someone else will bring them to our house."
Ji Tanyuan curled her lip. Wasn't she just mocking her nouveau riche behavior? But your mother and sister-in-law's actions were actually very high-profile, even though they seemed low-key. Being special is the most high-profile thing, okay?
The bedroom was decorated in black and white. Ji Tanyuan, who was leaning against the headboard, slowly slid down onto the bed and fell asleep.
When I woke up again, I was awakened by pain.
Ji Tanyuan grunted, raised her hand to push the person away, and complained, "Don't you let people get any sleep?"
The man's abs were clearly defined. He braced his hands on either side of her, his biceps bulging from the effort. He bent down and kissed her forehead, his breath sweet and fragrant. He then placed a pillow under her waist. "Soon."
"I'll carry you to take a bath later, you can just sleep."
Ji Tanyuan is really going too far. "How can I possibly sleep when you're like this?"
Zhong Yan said "Oh," and then said, "Then I won't sleep. Let's see if I have premature ejaculation."
Okay, that's another story.
It's said that a man's first time having sex is often short-lived due to heightened arousal and heightened nerves. However, Ji Tanyuan didn't know this, nor did she know that Zhong Yan had no sexual experience. Therefore, their first time together didn't last as long as one would expect for someone of his size. Ji Tanyuan was shocked.
What should she do if her husband is good-looking but useless?
Zhong Yan's face was also very pale, especially since this person had comforted him by saying that she wouldn't dislike him.
Then, Ji Tanyuan was prepared for the second time to end it hastily, but who knew it wouldn't end.
It didn't end until daytime.
Zhong Yan still holds this grudge to this day, and it seems like it's never going to end.
