Chapter 116: 113 Today at Zhong’s, Miss Ying is in charge [1 update]

The sudden remark made Mr. Eugene’s smile disappear.

He frowned and looked toward the entrance of the reception room.

There stood a girl.

Her skin was delicate and fair, like coagulated cream.

Her phoenix eyes slightly upturned, emitting a faint glow that flickered on and off.

She was clear and cold, her eyes and eyebrows radiating a chill.

She just stared at him straight on.

Although her presence seemed subdued, it was like a deep current in still water, bearing an even more overwhelming force.

Her scrutinizing gaze made Eugene’s heart skip a beat, as if a bad premonition was about to come true.

But the next moment, he scoffed to himself.

Just a girl of seventeen or eighteen, what could she do?

Perhaps she was just there to play around.

He had actually been startled for a moment.

Without another glance at the girl, Eugene turned back to Old Master Zhong, his expression polite yet distant, “Since Director Zhong is unwilling, then there’s nothing more to say. It’s getting late, so let’s call it a day.”

But he wasn’t able to leave the conference room.

“Leave the agreement,” Ying Zijin said, leaning against the door, tilting her head and repeating, “We’ll sign it.”

“Absolutely not, we cannot sign!” a middle-aged shareholder blurted out vehemently, “The Jade Pavilion is the lifeblood of the Zhong Corporation, we can’t mortgage it, no matter what.”

Even the most foolish could see now.

The DK Group was clearly targeting the Jade Pavilion; otherwise, they wouldn’t have conceded so quickly, proposing such terms.

It was possible that the Ten Directions Realm’s disappearance was related to the DK Group.

But they had no evidence whatsoever.

And how did the DK manage to steal the Ten Directions Realm right under their noses, bypassing all security systems?

The middle-aged shareholder coldly looked at Eugene, “Mr. Eugene, let’s not beat around the bush. Even if we don’t sign this deal, your DK Group won’t really let Zhong Corporation fall.”

But of course, there would be significant damage.

Eugene was taken aback for a moment, then he chuckled, “Since you all have such confidence, indeed there’s no need to sign the deal.”

“No need,” Ying Zijin looked up, her tone indifferent, “We’ll sign, but we have other conditions.”

Eugene paused in his steps, sizing up the girl from head to toe, his look somewhat scornful, “Are you in charge?”

As soon as he said this, the other shareholders became anxious.

But with Elder Zhong present, they could only hint obliquely.

“Director Zhong, this agreement must not be signed. Are you not aware of the significance of the Jade Pavilion?”

“Yes, Director Zhong, this is a major issue. How can you let a child handle it, is this some kind of joke?”

“No matter what, we can’t mortgage the Jade Pavilion!”

Master Zhong, however, remained silent.

He pondered, and it seemed that because of Ying Zijin’s words, he had changed his mind.

“Uncle Zhong, I know you care for your granddaughter, but you have to be reasonable,” the middle-aged shareholder hurriedly intervened when he saw Master Zhong’s expression was off, “This agreement is obviously unfair, how can we sign it?”

The value of the Jade Pavilion was far greater than that of the Ten Directions Realm.

Ying Zijin nodded, unhurried, “Which is why, we need to add our own conditions.”

The middle-aged shareholder became both anxious and frustrated, “Miss Ying, you don’t understand anything, you don’t know that the Jade Pavilion is really…”

“Alright, Zijin, your grandfather will listen to you,” Master Zhong cut off the middle-aged shareholder, “We’ll sign the bet agreement.”

Then he ordered, “Bring me a pen.” _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

An assistant quickly handed over a pen.

But Master Zhong didn’t take it for himself; instead, he passed it to Ying Zijin.

Ying Zijin paused for a moment before taking the pen.

“The Jade Pavilion is indeed the most important asset of the Zhong Corporation,” Master Zhong coughed once, with authority, “So if we lose this bet, it would be difficult to escape blame as the chairman, and I would voluntarily step down.”

The middle-aged shareholder’s expression changed drastically, “Uncle Zhong!”

With this statement, the rest of the shareholders found it hard to say anything more.

After all, the Zhong Corporation was in a tight spot.

If they signed, the Jade Pavilion would be gone.

But if they didn’t sign, with the DK Group’s maneuvers, half of Zhong Corporation would also collapse.

Compared with each other, there really wasn’t much difference.

“That’s enough,” Master Zhong waved his hand, “In any case, I’m old, retiring early means I can enjoy a peaceful retirement sooner.”

In his words, there was an unmistakable disdain, “All day long, you people disturb my Weibo browsing. An old man like me still has to clean up your messes, it’s so annoying.”

The middle-aged shareholder: “…”
