As soon as he said this, the expressions of the few shareholders who had followed him changed.
Not to mention Mrs. Zhong and Zhong Zhiwan, who did not even have the right to speak.
Although Zhong Zhiwan was the top student in his second year of high school, he had never been involved in the family business and did not have the talent for business.
Mrs. Zhong was a full-time housewife. After marrying into the Zhong family, she was responsible for taking care of Old Mr. Zhong in the old mansion.
Not to mention not being able to get a word in, she did not even know about the turbulence in the Zhong Group's stock price today.
Now, among the four wealthy families in Hu City, the Zhong family was the most special.
Because only the Zhong family was left, and Old Mr. Zhong was still in charge.
The two old masters of the Family Ying and the Jiang family had passed away, and the companies were in the hands of the next generation.
As for the Fu family, the head of the four wealthy families, although Master Fu was still alive, his health was too poor. Other than the shares in his hands, the company was also taken over by Fu Mingcheng's generation.
But it was different for the Zhong family.
The older Old Mr. Zhong was, the better his health was, and the more energetic he was.
Especially in the past month, he could carry a bucket of water up to ten floors without panting. He was even more energetic than the average young man.
A few years ago, there were already people in the Zhong family who could not sit still.
But Old Mr. Zhong had 54% of the Zhong Group's shares, and Old Mr. Zhong had the final say in all major matters.
These people had no choice but to wait for Old Mr. Zhong to die.
After waiting for a few years, they still could not wait, so they became even more anxious.
Zhong Tianyun was the one who could not wait. He had received Old Mr. Zhong's care, but he was unwilling.
If his father had not passed away early, who knew who would have the final say in the Zhong Group today?
Not to mention, his father had passed away to save Old Mr. Zhong.
If Old Mr. Zhong really felt guilty, he should be the one to take over the Zhong Group.
However, Zhong Tianyun had waited for more than ten years, and Old Mr. Zhong had never shown any interest.
During this period of time, he had been trying to uncover Old Mr. Zhong's mistakes.
In the previous Weibo incident, Old Mr. Zhong had used the Zhong Group's official account to speak up for an adopted daughter, which was a taboo.
However, Zhong Tianyun did not expect that the final result would be good.
Moreover, because of Old Mr. Zhong's speech, the Zhong Group had won the favor of many passers-by, and its stock price had risen a lot.
Zhong Tianyun had been waiting for a long time and finally got this opportunity.
The treasure of the Jade Shop had been lost.
The Zhong Group was facing a huge loss, and Old Mr. Zhong could not escape the blame.
He could use this opportunity to force Old Mr. Zhong to step down and get the shares. By then, the Zhong Group would have a new owner.
"Tianyun, that's too much." One of the shareholders frowned and said, "Shouldn't we find the whereabouts of the treasure first?"
The treasure of the Jade Shop was the work of a master sculptor fifty years ago, and it had been kept by the Zhong family until now.
The master sculptor had carved eighty-eight Buddhas with jade that was half the height of a person. This kind of sculpting technique could be said to be exquisite, and in the end, it was named "Ten Square World".
This piece of jade alone was worth tens of millions.
Not to mention the finished product that was carefully carved by the master sculptor, which was sold for five hundred million.
This price was too high. If it was not for the rich family and the obsession with sculpting, ordinary people would not buy it.
Therefore, for so many years, it had been kept in the Jade Shop and was strictly protected.
After so many years, the Ten Square World had always been safe and sound. No one expected it to be lost one day.
"Mr. Shi, finding the Ten Square World is the most important thing, but Mr. Eugene has already arrived in Hucheng." Zhong Tianyun was unmoved. "The contract has been signed, and we need to give an explanation first."
Then, he looked at Old Mr. Zhong with a cold expression and smiled. "Also, only the old man has influence in the Zhong Group, right?"
When Shareholder Shi heard this, he did not say anything else.
This time, the buyer of the Ten Square World was a multinational company from Continent O, and it also had properties in Hua.
The Zhong Group was not even in the top ten in Hua, so how could it compare to a multinational company?
Only Old Mr. Zhong could guarantee that the other party would not make a move on the Zhong Group, and they would have time to search for the Ten Square World.
"There's nothing more to say." Zhong Tianyun glanced at Mrs. Zhong and Zhong Zhiwan with contempt. "Old man, your sons are not here. No matter what, you have to come with us today."
These bodyguards were specially brought by Zhong Tianyun, and they were very skilled.
It was easy for them to deal with a young man, let alone an old man.
Zhong Zhiwan had never seen this kind of situation before. He panicked. "Grandpa …"
"Wanwan, don't be rash." Mrs. Zhong held her daughter and whispered, "Your grandpa is the chairman of the Zhong Group. They can't do anything."
Besides, even if they went up, what could they do?
The worst result was that they would be arrested together.
Zhong Tianyun did not care about the mother and daughter. He waved his hand impatiently. "Take them away. Whoever stops us, take them away too."
Zhong Zhiwan covered his mouth with both hands. He did not even dare to cry out loud.
Butler Zhong was also very anxious, but he was also restrained by the two bodyguards. He could not even make a call for help.
Just as Butler Zhong was about to watch the bodyguards arrest Old Mr. Zhong, he heard a cold voice outside the door.
It sounded like broken pearls and jade on the ground.
Or like the wind blowing on the surface of a lake, suddenly forming a layer of ice.
"You can give it a try."
The girl pushed the door open and entered. She was wearing a very simple sweater and trousers. She wore a baseball cap on her head to block the sun.
Her back was against the light, and her eyes were hidden in the halo. It was hazy and not very clear.
Zhong Zhiwan looked up and was stunned.
It was the weekend, and Old Mr. Zhong did not call. Why did Ying Zijin come?
Seeing the girl, Old Mr. Zhong's expression finally changed. He was also anxious. "Zijin, why are you here at this time? Grandpa has something to do. You can come another day. "
He had lived long enough. He could not drag the younger generation into this.
Zhong Tianyun harbored evil intentions in the first place. Who knew what other things he would do?
Ying Zijin did not leave. She nodded and smiled faintly. "Grandpa."
"Who are you?" Zhong Tianyun frowned. He was very unhappy. "When did the Zhong family have such a person?"
At least he would not forget this face after seeing it once.
"She is not a member of the Zhong family. She is the adopted daughter of the Ying family." Madam Zhong also spoke up coldly, "Tianyun, no matter what, Old Master is still your elder. What you're doing is disgraceful."
"So this is the adopted daughter?" Zhong Tianyun ignored the second half of Mrs. Zhong's sentence. He sneered. "I was wondering who she was. Old Mr. Zhong, you are really muddle-headed."
Old Mr. Zhong roared, "Zhong Tianyun, shut your rotten mouth!"
Zhong Zhiwan saw that Old Mr. Zhong was still defending Ying Zijin at this time. She was not happy.
She clenched her fists and said calmly, "Cousin, I know you are doing this for Grandpa's good. But you can't do anything. Can you stop causing trouble?"
Even Old Mr. Zhong was helpless. What could Ying Zijin do?
"Oh, Old Mr. Zhong, your granddaughter is interesting." Zhong Tianyun was surprised. "Even an adopted daughter knows how to stop me. But your granddaughter is not only sitting there and not moving, but also making sarcastic remarks about her cousin."
"I am an outsider. Even I can't stand it. Is this how your family teaches you, Old Mr. Zhong?"
Zhong Zhiwan's face turned red. Her eyes became misty and her body trembled.
Her inner thoughts were exposed. She felt humiliated. She could not raise her head and did not dare to look at Old Mr. Zhong.
Ying Zijin did not say anything. She rolled up her sleeves.
"What are you doing?" Zhong Tianyun shook his head. "Do you really think that a young girl like you can …"
The rest of the words were all stuck in their throats by the screams. Not a single word could come out.
Ying Zijin was still stepping on a bodyguard's arm. When she heard him, she turned her head. She seemed to be smiling coldly. "Hmm? Can what? "
Old Mr. Zhong was shocked. "…"
Oh my God. His granddaughter was so powerful?
Why didn't he see it?
Old Mr. Zhong rubbed his eyes. He wondered if his presbyopia had worsened. He did not even see how the bodyguards fell.
Zhong Zhiwan's eyes widened in disbelief.
Mrs. Zhong did not expect Ying Zijin to take care of seven or eight bodyguards so easily.
In just a few seconds.
This …
"Very good, very good. No wonder you are so brave. You have some skills." After Zhong Tianyun recovered from his shock, he was furious. "Do you think you can stop me like this?"
Ying Zijin's expression was indifferent. She did not even look at him.
She kicked the bodyguard on the ground and turned her head to look out the door.
