Chapter 649
“……”
There was silence all around.
Not to mention the few gentry whose smiles gradually froze, even Elder Zhong dropped his chopsticks in shock.
Only Ying Ziji was calmly sipping her juice.
Her other hand lifted up and easily caught the chopsticks that had fallen and put them back on Elder Zhong’s chopstick holder: “Grandpa, be careful.”
Elder Zhong was still in a continuing state of confusion.
It was also a mystery as to who the owner of the Han Pavilion really was.
There were only two Han Pavilions in the whole of China, one in Shanghai City and one in the imperial capital.
The standard of food and service at Han Court is not behind any of the three-Michelin-starred restaurants, and even far exceeds them.
Even if you go to Han Court, as the Mu family and the Nie family do in the imperial capital, you have to make a reservation in advance and it is not negotiable.
There is no such thing as a powerful status in front of Han Court.
Anyone would want to know just who has such a big face.
Fu Yun Shen lifted his eyes and said indifferently, “These people, drive them out, they are an eyesore.”
A few of the gentry instantly became cold sweat stained: “Seventh young man, misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding.”
Fu Yunshen, how did he become the boss of Han Court?
They actually said that kind of thing in front of the boss?
The manager’s kind gaze seemed to fling a slap in the faces of the few gentry.
They went out with miserable white faces, their cold sweat soaking through their clothes.
It was also at this moment that the few gentry realised.
Even if Fu Yunshen had been removed from his position by the venus group, he was still no match for them.
There was still silence at the dinner table.
“Crap!” Nie Chao’s shock was followed by exasperation, “I say, Younger Seven, you’re too unkind, aren’t you? What did you say when I first asked you?”
“You said that the people at Han Court looked at faces and let you in, thanks to that I almost believed it!”
After he learned that the venus group had removed Fu Yunshen as president of the Asia Pacific region, he immediately ran over from the imperial capital to comfort him, and the Nie family company didn’t even want it.
Who knew that this dog man didn’t need to be comforted at all.
It was a waste of his feelings.
Fu Yunshen slowly raised his eyelashes and glanced at him, “You remember so clearly what happened two years ago?”
“Of course I remember it clearly.” Nie Chao was speechless, “Who let that day be the first time Big Brother and I met? Isn’t that right, Big Brother?”
The last four words were directed at Ying Zigui.
“Well, I remember that too.” Ying Ziji propped up her chin and raised her eyebrows, “Look, I’m powerless, in case -”
She didn’t finish the rest of her sentence, but her chin was suddenly hooked, and a piece of coolness fell on her lips.
It was soft and squishy, like candyfloss.
It was followed by a soft bite.
With a slight hint of punishment.
Fu Yunshen sighed helplessly and laughed lowly: “No more, I admit defeat, eh?”
Ying Zidian skipped his head, “Let’s see how you behave.”
Nie Chao was the closest and just wanted to poke himself in both eyes.
“Grandpa.” Ying Tianru couldn’t stand it any longer, “Look at him, in broad daylight, no sense of decency, you don’t even care?”
Who told him at that time that if any brat abducted Ying Zidian, he would break his legs?
Master Zhong said cheerfully, “What’s the matter? Just a kiss? I can’t wait for them to get married now, oops, then I’ll be able to hold my great-grandson.”
After saying that, his face immediately snapped up, “You shut up, have you found someone yet? Shame on you!”
Ying Tianru: “……”
He shouldn’t have spoken.
The head chef level menu was also a first for the crowd.
Elder Zhong remembered something important: “Fu boy, you just said your company?”
“My company?” Fu Yunshen slowly raised his eyelashes, “Grandpa, I’m really penniless now, so I don’t have any company.”
Master Zhong couldn’t bear it, “It’s fine, it’s fine, as I said, Grandpa is supporting you.”
“Grandpa, ignore him, he just likes to tease people.” Ying Ziji slapped Fu Yunshen’s hand away, “Asia Pacific he just doesn’t want to care anymore, if he didn’t have no choice, the CEO of venus group he was ready to dump it to someone else.”
“……”
Once again, there was dead silence at the dinner table.
Ying Tianru was slightly stunned: “The CEO of the venus group?!”
Nie Chao once again let out a heart-rending scream.
He grabbed Fu Yunshen’s shoulders and was frantic: “How did you become the executive chief again, without even giving your brother a word?”
“Take the claws down.” Fu Yunshen glanced at him, “I’m not hiding it, Nie Yi didn’t tell you?”
“It’s good if my big brother doesn’t hit me.” Nie Chao scratched his head, “By the way, where did my big brother go? The ancient martial world?”
Fu Yun Shen’s eyes deepened slightly, “The war-torn area has been quite chaotic recently, so he went to support it.”
Nie Chao muttered, “It’s over, my family’s old man will be in fear again.”
Every time Nie Yi went to the war-torn zone, he would come back with a lot of injuries.
Master Nie was so distressed that he didn’t want him to go.
But Nie Yi said it was his duty.
The meal was quickly finished.
Elder Zhong rose in silence, patted the girl’s shoulder and spoke in a low voice, “Ziggy, no matter where you are, you’re still Grandpa’s granddaughter, and you can still come back to the Zhong family in the future.”
“That disgraced brother of yours, you can also drop by later and help introduce him to someone or something.”
Ying Ziji’s eyes stared, “Grandfather?”
What did Old Master Zhong know again?
“Alas, people like to be sentimental when they’re old.” Master Zhong wiped his eyes and turned his back, “Go and get on with your business, Grandpa is still waiting for his great-grandson.”
Ying took out a schedule, “A tea bag for you, remember to drink it on time, don’t mess up your work and rest, and surf the internet less.”
“Grandpa knows.” Elder Zhong showed a smile, “Go go go, just come back and visit more often in the future.”
**
A few days later, j country.
The venus group’s quarterly report meeting was about to be held, and the international business community was very concerned about this one.
Apart from the CEO’s appearance, venus Group will also announce several new technology products.
Ying Ziyi is helping Fu Yunshen with his forms and says casually, “How lazy, sir.”
“Thank you, Yoyo.” Fu Yunshen rubbed the girl’s head and answered the phone, “Hello?”
“Brother, Joseph wants to take the top spot.” Ian looked serious, “He’s been transferring some a*sets recently and has made a number of appointments with senior people.”
“Hmm.” Fu Yun Shen was faint, “It’s only a matter of time.”
Ian was stunned, “You knew about it?”
“Yes, I knew.” Fu Yunshen curled his lips, “What’s wrong with having another person to help earn money without losing anything again?”
Ian: “……”
Their boss, really is a capitalist who mercilessly destroys beaten workers.
Thanks to that big douchebag Neil still bragged every day that the executive was the best.
“Brother, that’s not the problem.” Ian frowned, “Joseph contacted the vice president of the Laurent Bank, presumably ready to freeze our funds, on the Laurent family’s side, we can’t afford to ……”
Ying didn’t look up, still tapping away on his computer.
Instead, his other hand lifted up, “The phone.”
Fu Yunshen smiled seemingly helplessly, but was obedient: “Here, little friend.”
“Hello, Ian.” Ying Zigui took the phone, “This is Ying Zigui.”
Ian on the other end of the call almost dropped his head in shock, “Sister-in-law …… Sister-in-law ah.”
“Is there time to meet tomorrow?”
“Yes, but ……”
“At nine o’clock, take you to meet someone.”
Ying finished and threw the phone back to Fu Yunshen.
As soon as she turned her head, she saw the man curving his peach blossom eyes and looking straight at her.
Ying Ziji looked at him, “What?”
“Nothing.” Fu Yunshen rubbed against her shoulder and put his other arm around her waist, smiling lowly, “The rumour that I eat soft rice is actually true, you see.”
Ying Ziji’s eyelashes fluttered and she warned, “Don’t move, be serious.”
“Okay, don’t move.”
He took a step back and raised his hands, lazily, “I’ll punish myself by facing the wall.”
“……”
**
Early the next morning.
Ian left the headquarters building as quickly as he could after finishing up his tasks for the day.
On the way out he bumped into a beaming Joseph.
Joseph’s manner was still respectful and dedicated a greeting, “Superintendent Ian.”
Ian ignored him, holding down his anger.
He arrived at the place where he had agreed with Ying Zidian and looked at a huge helicopter, a little confused.
Ying Zidian put on his baseball cap, lifted his chin and without saying a word, “Get on the plane.”
Three hours later, the plane descended and stopped at Fei Leng Cui.
Puzzled, Ian followed the girl all the way.
Until they came to an old castle.
“What are you doing in Chateau Laurent?” Ian froze, “Ah sister-in-law, not that I’m not shooting myself in the foot, am I?”
The only thing that the venus group and the Laurent Bank had in common was that they were rich.
But they were indeed incompatible.
Ian’s blood was in his throat when he thought that the venus group had invested two hundred billion dollars in the space carrier experiment to compete with the Laurent Bank.
During the time when the venus group was on the rise, the Laurent family had also suppressed them, but not as fiercely as the four major O-continent plutocrats.
But in any case, it is true that the Laurent family and the venus group did not see eye to eye.
It was only sometimes that they chose to cooperate for the sake of temporary benefits.
Ying didn’t say anything and led Ian inside.
It was unobstructed.
Finally they came to an open-air garden restaurant.
Ying Zidian put one hand in his pocket, his voice cold and slow: “Cesar, it’s business.”
Ian was still a bit frozen.
He hadn’t recovered from the shock of how Ying Zidian had managed to enter Laurent Castle so easily, when he heard such a name.
Which one was Cesar?
The young man had hair as brilliant as gold and a handsome side face with three-dimensional features, like Apollo, the god of the sun.
He spoke on the phone as he turned back.
Chapter 650
Those dark blue eyes resemble the sea, deep and distant, with a fatal attraction.
Just the type of man a girl likes.
Centuries ago, Cesar was known as the “Apollo of Filippo”, and not without reason.
“Boss.” Cesar immediately hung up the phone and came over, “Why did you come without a word? I haven’t prepared anything, it’s early in the morning and there’s only coffee.”
“There’s no need to prepare.” Ying stuck one hand in his pocket, “Just to talk business.
“Hmm? What business?” Cesar was instantly interested, “Where to dig for gold? I’ll call a few more people this time, and I’ll bring it all back.”
Ying pressed his head, “Business with the venus group, the Loran Bank is freezing the venus group’s funds, you know about that, right?”
Cesar hmmed, “Yes, I know, the president of their O League district found the vice president of the Laurent Bank and offered 10% of the shares.”
The venus group was the number one group in the world, 10% of shares was also a wealth that was unimaginable to the common man.
The money that was offered to the door, Cesar always adhered to the attitude of not wanting it for nothing.
“Boss, do you want this 10% share? Tell me earlier, if you want the venus group, I’ll even grit my teeth and beat it down for you.”
Ying Ziyi glanced at him, “You fight it, the executive director is your big brother.”
“……”
Xize froze for a long time and was startled, “My big brother?”
He had only ever managed to call Fu Yunshen his big brother after he was defeated that day.
Otherwise, who else would dare to ride on his head?
Ying Ziji looked at him, “Have an opinion?”
Xize swallowed back all his words, “…… wouldn’t dare.”
The Laurent family had indeed followed the four major plutocrats of O Continent in suppressing the venus group.
At first, Cesar didn’t care, he only cared about money.
He had also made some plans against the venus group.
But how could Cesar not have imagined that the mysterious executive director of the venus group was his boss’s boyfriend?
What kind of sinful relationship is this?!
“Okay, okay.” Nishizawa held up his hand, “Since it’s your family’s, Boss, I definitely can’t do anything about it, I’ll have someone talk to the bank.”
He rang a call bell.
Jobe quickly arrived, “Master.”
Cesar ordered, “Inform all the top bra*s of the Loran Bank that they can only work with the executive of the venus group.”
“Yes, master.”
Jobe quickly went down.
Ian was completely dumbfounded, his thoughts were filled with “f*ck”.
“You, very good, very good.” Cesar patted Ian’s shoulder and smiled a little, “As discerning as I am.”
Knowing whose leg to hug.
Ian gasped at the pat, his brain still in a daze.
News of the official emergence of the man in charge of the Laurent family had spread when the Pazzi family had been overthrown a few months ago.
But it had not yet been revealed to the public.
But the Venus Group has got some information on its side.
The man in power was young and not bad looking.
Ian looked up with difficulty, at Cesar.
This tm?
Even the man in charge of the Laurent family was on their side, what else was there to be afraid of?
“Boss, haven’t you been using that black and gold card I gave you much?” Cesar turned his head, his dark blue eyes held a bit of resignation, “If you had used it, you definitely wouldn’t have come here specifically to find me.”
Ying Ziyi looked puzzled, “It’s true that I haven’t used it yet.”
She hadn’t spent much money recently, and Fu Yunshen was the one who swiped her card for her regular expenses.
She hadn’t even gone into the bank.
“This card, can mobilise the vaults of Loran Bank everywhere.” Xize sighed, “The order works better than the chief banker, boss, you’re wasting it.”
Ying hadn’t reacted much when Ian, who was on the sidelines, spoke out in shock, “All the vaults?!”
No one knew how much the Laurent family’s a*sets really were.
After all, the venus group had started late, although it was also very rich.
But in terms of the entire capital, there was no way to compare it with the Laurent family, which had been in existence for hundreds of years.
The Laurent family has a monopoly on the global economy.
If the Laurent Bank really blocked their funds, the venus group would indeed be greatly wounded.
“What are you surprised about?” Cesar glanced at him, “Without my boss, the Laurent family wouldn’t have continued until now.”
For Ying Zigui, he respected him from the bottom of his heart.
It was okay to give your life away.
Ian wiped his sweat, “I, I was too excited.”
Cesar thought for a moment, “Boss, when is the quarterly report meeting?”
Ying snorted, his voice sparse, “The day after tomorrow.”
Xize nodded, “OK, I’ll go and see, save a seat for me.”
He loosened his tie and asked again, “By the way, will any women be attending?”
“Yes.” Ian froze, “The quarterly presentation is before the party and there’s going to be an opening dance, of course there will be women, why?”
“Oh, that’s right.” Cesar nodded, satisfied, “I’ve decided to try and get a girlfriend.”
Ian: “????”
**
Ian’s head was still spinning as he left Laurent Castle.
He was confused for a while before he picked up his phone and called Fu Yunshen, “Brother, do you know who sister-in-law took me to meet?!”
“Hmm? Cesar Laurent?”
“Brother, you know? No wonder you’re not nervous, so you have such an undercard.”
“No.” Fu Yunshen let out a low laugh, “I have a plan accordingly and can work it out, but it’s really a lot more convenient for Yoyo to take action.”
Ian drifted off and followed Ying back to J.
As it turned out, it felt good to have someone to cover his back.
Before getting off the plane, Ian’s eyes were teary: “Sister-in-law, I’ll definitely hug your thighs and beg to fly with you.”
Ying Ziyi’s face was expressionless: “Please go away.”
Ian: “……”
He rolled away neatly.
Fu Yunshen drove to pick her up and they went back to the hotel together.
He said, “I’m going out, I’ll be back at dinner time.”
Ying Ziyi lay on the bed and waved her hand lazily, “Go ahead, I’ll rest for a while.”
Fu Yunshen rubbed the girl’s head and walked out.
Ying Ziyi turned over, turned on her computer and logged onto the nok forum.
She hadn’t even bothered to look at the friends bar when a dialog box had popped up.
[10]: Elder Divine Calculation World! You’re finally online again, hurry up, when will you tell my fortune?
Ying Ziji looked calm and knocked out a line.
[Divine Reckoner]: I know where you are from.
[10]: Where am I from, am I not from Earth?
[10]: You think I came to Earth from another universe like you?
[Divine Reckoner]: Four words, no way to transmit, you know, Lord Hermit.
[10]: ……
Immediately after that, a call box popped up.
On it were four red words plus an exclamation point.
[Urgent call!
Ying Ziji’s eyes narrowed slightly as he first tapped a code program.
Afterwards, he used his inner strength to block the hotel room again before pressing the answer button.
“Hello?”
A very young male voice rang out.
Ying Ziji’s eyelashes dropped, “Um, in.”
“Ah, sorry, this is an Earth secret, so many people on Earth can’t know.” The man smiled and sighed, “You see when we met then, you said you weren’t from Earth and had come over from somewhere else to have some fun.”
“So I didn’t think to tell you, your old man is thinking of opening up and coming over to do the math for me personally?”
“No.” Ying Ziji was brief and concise, “It’s just that there are some things that I need to go to your place.”
“So.” The man was thoughtful, “Then contact me when you come, I will meet you, is that your real voice?”
Ying raised an eyebrow, “Well, it hasn’t changed.”
During the time they had known each other in the sixteenth century, she had worn a black robe, wrapped up so that nothing could be seen.
Let alone male and female, old and young would not be clear.
“Never mind, gender or whatever doesn’t matter anyway.” The man gave a very indifferent laugh, “In my eyes there is no such thing as no male or female, I always thought you were an old man.”
He paused, “In that case, let’s formally introduce ourselves, I am the Sage Hermit, you can call me by my real name, Xiu.”
Tenth of the Twenty-two Sages, the Sage Hermit, thehermit.
Hugh Kensild.
Hugh coughed a few times, “I was going to wait for you to say yes and go out of town to find you, but now that you’re coming in, it saves me the trouble.”
“Didn’t want to see you either.”
“……”
Xiu was a bit helpless: “You really are as heartless as before.”
Ying Zidian faded: “Each to his own.”
“By the way, there is an important matter.” Xiu’s voice became a bit more serious: “When you enter the World City, you are absolutely not allowed to use your divine calculation ability except when I am present.”
Ying Ziji’s eyes stared instantly.
“You should be clear that there are other Magi in the World City looking for you, and if you use your Divine Calculation ability, they will be able to find you immediately.” Xiu paused, “Only I can help you conceal it.”
Absolute concealment.
Not just a joke.
“I understand.” Ying Ziji remained calm and collected, “Don’t worry, what I really relied on wasn’t originally a divine calculation ability either.”
If she only relied on her special ability, she wouldn’t be able to live now.
“That’s good.” Xiu nodded, “Can I know your name? Real name.”
“Ying Zidian.” Ying Zidian pondered for a moment, “What about the other two? They’ve never been on the line, not with you?”
Hearing this, Xiu was silent for a moment, “Let’s meet and talk.”
Ying Ziyi nodded and ended the call.
**
On the other hand, Joseph had also arrived in Fei Leng Cui.
The headquarters of the Bank of Laurent was located here.
“Miss Keel.” Joseph was poised, “It is a real honour to work with your family.”
Keir Laurent was over forty years old, but well maintained.
She wore a black suit and a pair of gold-rimmed gla*ses, “Hello, President Joseph.”
“All the preparations I’ve already done.” Joseph smiled, “Just waiting for Miss Keel.”
As long as Laurent Bank froze the venus group’s funds for three days, he was completely sure that he would have the entire venus group under his control.
Keir nodded, “Naturally, I also hope that President Joseph will do what he says and come up with 10% of the shares.”
Keir was no different from most members of the Laurent family, they all loved money.
Joseph’s smile widened, “Then I would ask Miss Keel to make a trip to J and attend the quarterly presentation together.”
“Just a moment.” Keir took a call.
There was no telling what was said there, and her expression gradually became serious: “Okay, I understand.”
Inexplicably, Joseph had a bad feeling, “Miss Keel?”
Keel smiled faintly, “It’s some orders from the family side, President Joseph don’t worry, your request is already known to the family as well.”
“Congratulations, our master will be visiting your group’s presentation then.”
Joseph’s eyes widened and he drew a breath backwards.
The man in charge of the Laurent family was coming to help him personally?
Was this a good thing?
Joseph was thrilled: “Miss Keel, thank you, thank you so much, this way please.”
Keir glanced at Joseph, picked up his own handbag and followed.
**
Two days later.
The quarterly presentation of the venus group, which the international business community had been waiting for, opened.
Reporters were sent from all countries and the venue was full of people, many of whom were looking on.
For the journalists, the new products to be announced by venus Group were definitely not as attractive as the presence of the CEO himself.
Joseph glanced at the direction where Ian was.
With a gla*s of wine in hand, he walked over and whispered, “Director Ian, please enjoy your last good moments.”
Ian sneered, “The same words I give to you.”
“Superintendent Ian, what a joke.” Joseph scorned, “I have the backing of the Laurent family, what do you have?”
After a pause, he added a threat, “Superintendent Ian, it’s not too late for the war party.”
With that, Joseph turned around, looking arrogant.
He looked up at the door, and with that look, his whole body froze.
The man’s stance was tall and erect, with a purely oriental face and an extremely powerful aura.
Joseph was a little incredulous: “Why are you here?”
Fu Yunshen had been sacked by the venus group, why was he out here?
He was really disgusted with Fu Yunshen.
Because of Fu Yunshen’s appearance, he had been robbed of a lot of the limelight.
Fu Yunshen tilted his head and hooked his lips: “What a coincidence, isn’t it?”
Joseph’s expression dropped coldly: “Coincidentally what?”
Ian’s eyes lit up and he immediately walked over towards Fu Yunshen.
