Chapter 115: Boss Fu and Boss Ying have joined forces [3 updates, asking for monthly passes]
“Useless, why did they even bother coming?”
The middle-aged shareholder’s brow furrowed even deeper.
As some had said, Old Master Zhong might be in good physical health, but his mind had become muddled.
Even Miss Zhiwan of the Zhong Family, who had no right to attend a high-level shareholder meeting, being allowed in; how could they let a stranger participate?
The middle-aged shareholder spoke up again, “Uncle Zhong, the most important thing right now is to find the Ten Directions Realm, or to invite another master carver.”
However, he only made this latter suggestion casually.
The master carver from fifty years ago had ancestral skills, enabling him to carve eighty-eight Buddhas on a raw jadeite stone as tall as a person.
But now that master carver was no longer with us, and the only ones who had reached the pinnacle in carving were the older generation of artists.
Yet it was impossible for them, with their physical strength, to carve another Ten Directions Realm.
Not to mention, that raw stone was top-grade jade, and finding another piece just like it was essentially impossible.
It was an even more difficult task than retrieving the Ten Directions Realm.
“Well, isn’t that a coincidence,” sneered Old Master Zhong with disdain. “My granddaughter can handle both issues you’ve mentioned.”
His granddaughter was the best, and he wouldn’t accept any disagreement.
Ying Zijin watched the proud Old Master Zhong and fell silent for a moment.
It seemed she hadn’t told Old Master Zhong she knew how to carve.
Capable of handling both?
Upon hearing this, the shareholders looked at each other in disbelief.
They weren’t blind; how could they fail to see that Ying Zijin was just a high-school student who hadn’t come of age yet?
What high school student could handle what so many of them were powerless to deal with?
Wasn’t this just a joke?
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged shareholder pondered.
Although Old Master Zhong could be rather eccentric at times, he would never risk making a joke of the Zhong Corporation.
Could it be that this young girl adopted by the Ying Family had some special capability?
With that thought, the middle-aged shareholder scrutinized the girl more carefully.
Hm.
She was indeed very beautiful.
He had never seen a younger girl more attractive than her.
The middle-aged shareholder began to feel discontent toward the Ying Family.
The Fu Family and the Jiang Family were one thing, but he remembered that Old Master Zhong’s daughter was now the Matriarch of the Ying Family.
Such a big crisis had emerged in the Zhong Family, and they hadn’t shown the slightest reaction.
They weren’t even as caring as this young girl.
“Since Uncle Zhong has said so, then I also owe an apology for what I said earlier,” the middle-aged shareholder said seriously. “So, Uncle Zhong, do you have any solutions?”
Although there were a few shareholders and members from other branches of the Zhong Family with ulterior motives, most people in the Zhong Corporation were indeed loyal to Old Master Zhong.
For no other reason than without Old Master Zhong, there would be no Zhong Corporation today.
“The Ten Directions Realm has been missing for so long, yet not a single person managing the Jade Pavilion noticed,” Old Master Zhong glanced at the Jade Pavilion’s manager standing beside him, “This is neglect of duty!”
“Effective immediately, the corporate center will take direct control of the Jade Pavilion, and all the management will be relieved of their duties.”
The manager of the Jade Pavilion was at a loss for words, “Director Zhong, about this…”
With no trace left on the surveillance cameras, what could he do?
“However, this also proves how cunning the thief must be,” the voice of Old Master Zhong was heavy, “This is not only targeting the Jade Pavilion but the entire Zhong Corporation.”
The thief who stole the Ten Directions Realm without anyone noticing must have significant backing.
A shiver ran through the hearts of the shareholders.
Ying Zijin lowered her eyelashes, deep in thought.
“What we can do now is to buy time,” Old Master Zhong made his decision, “Tomorrow, arrange a meeting with DK Corporation.”
DK Corporation was that multinational company.
It was said the CEO of the corporation was a jade stone enthusiast, which was why they chose to purchase the Ten Directions Realm for their collection.
At the time of signing the contract, DK Corporation had already paid a 200 million advance deposit, just waiting for the delivery tomorrow.
“Uncle Zhong, leave this matter to me,” the middle-aged shareholder immediately stood up, “I’ll contact Mr. Eugene right now.”

At this time, back at the old Ying residence.
The butler, after hanging up the phone, walked over to the sofa and whispered, “Miss Luwei, the Zhong’s are in trouble.”
“The Zhong’s?” Ying Luwei was browsing skincare products online and looked up, startled, “What happened with the Zhong Family?”
“I’m not entirely sure,” the butler shook his head, “But it seems they’ve got a problem with a multinational company from the O Continent, which might very well affect the foundation of the Zhong Corporation.”
“Just today, the stock of the Zhong Corporation has been falling.”
Ying Luwei glanced at the second floor and also spoke softly, “Was it the Zhong Family who called?”
“Yes,” the butler said, “It wasn’t from the senior level, but it seems like they want the Ying Family’s help.”
“Help?” Ying Luwei put down her phone, her smile tinged with mockery, “The Zhong Family got into big trouble and now they want to drag the Ying Family down with them? Why would we want to do them any favors?”
Understanding her point, the butler replied, “So, Miss Luwei’s idea is to just watch from the sidelines?”
