Why isn't he calling me "husband" anymore in Chapter 37?
Zhong Yan let out an "oh," and returned to his half-dead state.
"You're looking to raise funds, aren't you? My wife is ambitious, isn't that great?"
Cheng Gengxu: "She raised funds for the entire technology company in the upstream of the semiconductor industry, specifically for polishing slurries and polishing pads for CMP consumables. Your wife plans to bring in the entire upstream and downstream of the semiconductor industry and establish a firm foothold."
Zhong Yan: "So, I'm almost kicked out before I've even started?"
Cheng Gengxu stubbed out his cigarette: "A fool wouldn't make money if he didn't want to. I'm getting in now, and Gengxu Capital will increase its investment."
Zhong Yan hummed in agreement, "Just make sure the capital from infiltration doesn't get in."
"This guy surnamed Duan has always been trying to steal my girlfriend."
Cheng Gengxu: "...Then you should cooperate with them."
Zhong Yan chuckled, "Duan Huaixu can't sway my wife even if we cooperate, so what's wrong with cooperating?"
As long as I don't get entangled with Ji Tanyuan, it's fine.
Cheng Gengxu was speechless; the couple's mental state was quite strange.
"Don't you feel like you and Ji Tanyuan are sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams?"
Zhong Yan, with his eyes closed, said sarcastically in the dark living room, "You're wrong. We're not sharing a bed right now. She's in Shanghai and I'm in Beijing. It's more like we're sharing a bed and having a wet dream in our dreams."
Cheng Gengxu: "..."
Idiot.
Zhong Yan was already immersed in the pain of having to separate from his wife so soon after getting married. Whether it was mainly due to the loneliness of his soul or the loneliness of his penis, it was hard to say.
However, Cheng Gengxu knew that Zhong Yan was showing signs of being implicated.
He was quite looking forward to seeing how this mentally ill patient, high up in the mountains, would deal with his feelings.
Zhong Yan hung up the phone, rubbed the dog's head, and got up to go upstairs.
Ji Tanyuan's presence was very obvious in the house. Her numerous clothes occupied half of the three floors, and her jewelry was stored in a small storage room. As soon as you entered the master bedroom, you could smell her scent, which was hard to ignore.
Zhong Yan tidied up the master bedroom and then went into the bathroom.
He couldn't resist and wanted to hear Ji Tanyuan's voice in the bathroom.
The call went unanswered until it was answered on the second attempt.
A sweet voice came from the other end: "Hello, honey."
Zhong Yan didn't say anything.
Ji Tanyuan frowned and called out again, "Zhong Yan?"
A deep, sexy breath came from the other end, and the hormones materialized, striking Ji Tanyuan on the head, sending shivers down her spine.
It took me a while to react.
Then they said, "Continue."
Ji Tanyuan choked, unable to speak.
Zhong Yan, growing increasingly impatient after a long silence, called out, "Ji Tanyuan, speak!"
Ji Tanyuan stammered, "What...what...what did I say?"
Then they went silent again.
Ji Tanyuan: "You missed me."
Zhong Yan remained silent.
Ji Tanyuan continued, "I attended the preview today and reserved a diamond, a pink diamond, it's so beautiful. When I saw it, I knew it was mine."
"You can spend your money, right?"
Zhong Yan hummed in agreement.
Then the sound of water came from the other end. Ji Tanyuan asked, "Should I hang up?"
Before the other end could speak, Ji Tanyuan hung up the phone, opened the door, and was immediately greeted by the noise of a party.
This is Ji Tanyuan's house, a large single-level apartment of over 1,000 square meters, with the best view overlooking the Bund, and the overall decoration has a distinct personal style.
A blend of white and light pink, the entire house is decorated in high-end luxury style, with a warm white main tone, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere.
The people inside are playing mahjong. "Huanghuang, hurry up, everyone's waiting for you."
Ji Tanyuan put away her phone and smiled, "Coming, coming."
"Who is it?" Qin Yini asked.
Zhang Zhang: "It must be her husband."
Qin Yini said "Oh", "I've seen it before. It's similar to the feeling on the wedding day. They keep people at arm's length, but when they open their mouths, they're very sarcastic."
Zhang Zhang nodded, "We've met our match."
Ji Tanyuan discarded an eight of bamboo, "How come we're evenly matched? Am I being mean?"
At the mahjong table, another person, Ruan Jiangli, the daughter of the Ruan family, exclaimed, "Don't you know? Among the rich second-generation, the Shanghai circle is considered the most mean."
Ji Tanyuan: "..."
Qin Yini disagreed, "No, our Huanghuang is too gentle, so much so that some people take advantage of her."
Zhang Zhang agreed, "Ji Tanyuan, you need to be tougher. If anyone annoys you, just kill them."
Qin Yini chuckled, "The core essence of a shrew is to fight to the death, fearing no one. Ask Huanghuang if she's afraid of the Zhong family?"
Ji Tanyuan was being stared at by six eyes. "Why are you looking at me? Since ancient times, there has never been a merchant who wasn't afraid of officials."
"Besides, I'm the kind of person..." At this point, Ji Tanyuan looked back and gave them a knowing look.
The three understood. Ji Tanyuan wasn't the type to go crazy; she had an elegance ingrained in her bones, and it was rare for her to smash a bowl and yell at someone unless absolutely necessary.
"We'll see. Luckily, we live separately."
Zhong Yan is slightly more normal.
Ji Tanyuan recalled the phone call she had just received.
Power is actually abnormal.
...
Ji Tanyuan arrived at the company at 10:00 AM.
With one day to go before the shareholders' meeting, she went directly into Lu Ke's office.
Lu Ke handed the documents directly to her. "The board of directors does not quite approve of your preliminary plan for the equity transfer of Qinghe Real Estate, and your father's attitude is ambiguous."
In other words, Ji Tanyuan's father did not completely side with his daughter; perhaps he had always intended to take a compromise approach.
Lu Ke knew it was best not to get involved in the chairman's family affairs, but the problem was that their family affairs had already affected the company, and he was on Ji Tanyuan's side.
Lu Ke wore gold-rimmed glasses, dressed in an elite style, with a crisp black suit that was custom-made to fit his body perfectly, making him look extremely noble.
Having spent many years in the world of fame and fortune, from Singapore to the United States and then to mainland China, Lu Ke knows that customs differ from place to place.
"Tan Yuan, your father may still have some things he hasn't told you."
Ji Tanyuan looked at the document. "I know he doesn't want to tell me what I can do."
Lu Ke: "Then what are you going to do?"
Ji Tanyuan closed the file, took a deep breath, and looked at Lu Ke. "He said the company will all be mine in the future. Do you think I should believe him?"
Lu Ke exclaimed, "Although I am a man, I think you shouldn't trust men too much, even your loving father."
"There is no comparison between inheriting a nearly 100 billion yuan fortune and giving money to raise a daughter through the smallest detail. Even if you love her, there is no guarantee that she will pass it on to you. After all, this company is also his child in a sense, and he has devoted the most effort to it."
Ji Tanyuan pursed her lips. "If he really isn't on my side, and he doesn't have any illegitimate children, then what does that mean?"
Ji Tanyuan sat in the chair, wearing a white suit and light makeup. Her quiet demeanor made her seem gentle and easy to mess with.
His composure and meticulousness, as well as his patience and ability to strike with unwavering determination, are key to his success.
After years of tacit understanding, Lu Ke said:
"That's not important, is it?"
Worried that her relatives might try to seize control of the group after her marriage, and even her father's ambiguous attitude was worrying, she began to drive out any threatening people from the core as soon as things stabilized.
Ji Tanyuan laughed, "You're right, we're all results-oriented."
The conversation was interrupted by a phone call from Zhong Yan.
Now, Ji Tanyuan feels uneasy whenever she sees Zhong Yan's phone number, fearing that he might use the call to hear her voice and then do *that* kind of thing.
She went to the balcony, turned down the volume, and answered, "Hello?"
There was a pause on the other end. "Why aren't you calling me 'husband' anymore?"
Ji Tanyuan: "Forgot? What's the matter with the call?"
Zhong Yan's voice, tinged with laughter, came through: "Wife, I'm walking the dog."
Ji Tanyuan: "..." So what?
Zhong Yan continued, "The dog misses you and is asking when you're coming home."
