Chapter 136: 136 Is your boss Yan Yueqing? (Wish you health on Dragon Boat Festival, sent a bit earlier today~)

Director Tang had money, but he invested all of it into acquiring shares in Zhongxing.

That 20% was almost everything he had!

The money for the later acquisition definitely wasn’t his own.

But who would have thought it had anything to do with the Jun Residence?

In the entire Hua Country, the Jun Residence owned a complete business empire, possessing a strong family foundation that ordinary noble families couldn’t compare to. It’s no exaggeration to say that they make more money in a minute than ordinary families do in a lifetime.

However, the Jun Residence had never been involved in the entertainment industry; why were they suddenly interested in Zhongxing now?

Director Yang was very clear—if they had set their sights on the big pie of the entertainment industry, there was absolutely no need for them to slowly acquire shares by boiling the frog in warm water. They could just say the word and there would be plenty of big companies willing to sell voluntarily.

Zhongxing in the entertainment industry was barely clinging to the tail end of second-tier status; there really wasn’t any point that would catch the attention of the Jun Residence, right?

With this in mind, he had refused to sell his shares at first, intentionally stringing Director Tang along, betting on the chance that the power behind Tang didn’t belong to the Jun Residence.

But when Director Yang saw someone gifting Director Tang a Bugatti Veyron, all his wishful thinking evaporated!

Was this someone just giving Director Tang a car?

This was using the guise of gifting a car to give him a good, hard warning!

The person behind the scenes could so casually gift a thirty-million car...

What did that represent?!

It represented a strength he had no hope of shaking!

Selling his shares now would be making a strategically timely retreat, and he could still leave a good impression with the Jun Residence.

If he waited until they came knocking on his door... he feared what he might lose wouldn’t be just his shares in Zhongxing!

Director Yang took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and dialed Director Tang’s number.

Five minutes later.

Director Tang hung up the phone with a confused look on his face.

Was he walking in luck today?

First, his boss gave his daughter a car; then his arch-rival, Director Yang, had loosened his grip?!

He racked his brains on how to design a buyback for the shares, and Director Yang actually said he would sell him 10% at market price?!!

That would make it a direct 70% in total?!

Mission accomplished beyond expectations?!

Yay~~~

Director Tang was so happy he didn’t know what to do; he thought about calling President Yue to report but was afraid it was too late and didn’t want to disturb her rest.

Hmm, better to confirm everything is done tomorrow before sharing the news!

Before he could finish his glee, Lawyer Quan called him up: "Old Tang, where did you go to strike it rich?"

"Working for someone, what riches are you talking about."

"It’s all over Weibo, someone gave you a Bugatti Veyron."

Director Tang was not the least bit upset about being secretly photographed; he chuckled and said, "Ah, you’re talking about that? That’s from my boss to my daughter, are you jealous I have such a great boss? Jealousy’s no use, because you don’t have one haha!"

Lawyer Quan was speechless: "You’re about to drool from the corner of your mouth!"

Director Tang chuckled: "Who would’ve thought I’d be living off my daughter at thirty! This kind of happiness is beyond your comprehension."

Lawyer Quan joked, "Is your boss male or female? They’re so good to you, could it be they’ve taken a fancy to you?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Director Tang immediately straightened his expression upon hearing this jest, "She is a person with great ambitions! Not someone whom ordinary folks like us are worthy of!"

"Oh? The first time I hear you talk so humbly? What happened to the spirited Director Tang I know? Abducted by aliens for a makeover?"

Director Tang said seriously, "No jokes, my boss is really good!"

"Alright, alright!" Lawyer Quan backed off when he saw it was prudent, "I want to ask you something."

"Go ahead."

"I’ve heard some rumors, after the shareholder change in Zhongxing, there’s been a major bloodletting from the senior management to the legal team and even the staff, right?"

"The senior management certainly needs to change! There are one or two interested parties in the legal team, as for the staff... it depends on the boss’s intentions."

Lawyer Quan pondered, "Your boss wants to hide their identity, not to be public, I understand that! It’s just... I’m starting to suspect your boss is Yan Yueqing!"

Director Tang was shocked. Had he not concealed it well enough?

He immediately asked, "What makes you say that?"

"Didn’t you see the live broadcast? Yan Yueqing said that she entered the entertainment industry because a master told her fortune, saying she and her son would be one injured and one dead if they stayed together long term... Although such metaphysical talk is not necessarily true, if you follow the clues, Yan Yueqing could indeed be the Second Miss Yan."

Director Tang: !!!

Seeing he was silent, Lawyer Quan felt he understood a bit, "Don’t worry, we’re brothers, even if I guessed correctly, I won’t blab. I’m calling today to give you a heads-up."

"Go ahead."

"The top ten families of City C, their rankings change slightly every year. But the Yan family has been in the position of City C’s wealthiest for decades and have never participated in those family rankings. Do you know why?"

Director Tang frowned, "Why?"

"Because their wealth is in a league of its own compared to others! Even if you added together the wealth of the families ranking in the top three every year, it would not match the Yan family’s," Lawyer Quan said, "Just last year alone, their liquid assets were two billion."

"Liquid assets?" Director Tang was shocked, "Are you sure it’s liquid assets, not fixed assets?"

There is a significant difference between the two.

Liquid assets are like the cash and change you carry in your pocket; fixed assets, on the other hand, are like valuing a person from the hair to the toenails...

The former is tangible, whereas the latter can be inflated in value.

If they have two billion in liquid assets... that would mean they are incredibly rich!

"This is a secret a friend told me in confidence," Lawyer Quan continued, "However, they claim it as fixed assets to the public, keeping an extremely low profile... Honestly, with the Yan family’s foundation, they could go straight to the capital and make it into at least the top five! But they have always stayed here, and Old Master Yan dotes on his only biological granddaughter, the legendary Second Miss Yan, to the extreme! If your boss really is Yan Yueqing and she is indeed part of the Yan family, Zhongxing is like a wild chicken that flew into the Phoenix Nest and struck it rich!"

Director Tang knew he had latched onto a significant supporter, but he hadn’t expected it to be such a major one!

For a moment, his mind was buzzing.

He didn’t know what to say in return.

Lawyer Quan added, "Also, nobody knows who the Second Miss Yan’s mother is. If it’s not some child bride drama, I reckon her family would have to be even more powerful than the Yan family for Old Master Yan to have always kept mum about it... All I know is that the year the Yan family began to crush other families by a landslide to become the wealthiest coincided with the birth of the Second Miss Yan! Even after her father passed away prematurely, no one could shake the Yan family’s dominant position... Moreover, Old Master Yan soon adopted a grandson from his elder brother, who is now the publicly declared heir of the Yan family, Yan Kang. The relationship between the two siblings doesn’t seem to be very good! If Yan Yueqing is indeed part of the Yan family, then it’s very possible that the Yan family’s denial back then was done on Yan Kang’s own initiative..."

Director Tang’s eyes widened!

Damn, he hadn’t come across a story this eventful in his entire year of gossiping!

He was just working a job, and now he was wrapped up in a wealthy family feud?!

How thrilling?!
