If she couldn't do it, why was she here?
The middle-aged shareholder's frown deepened.
Just as some people said, Old Mr. Zhong's body was healthy, but his mind was muddled.
Even Zhong Zhiwan, the eldest daughter of the Zhong family, wasn't qualified to attend the shareholders' meeting. How could they let an outsider attend?
The middle-aged shareholder continued, "Uncle Zhong, the most important thing for us now is to find the Ten Square World, or to invite another sculptor."
However, the second half of his sentence was just a casual remark.
Fifty years ago, the sculptor was able to carve eighty-eight Buddhas on a jade stone that was half a man's height.
But now that the master sculptor was no longer around, only the older generation of artists were left who had reached the pinnacle of sculpting.
However, with their physical strength, it was impossible for them to carve another statue of the Ten Square World.
Not to mention, that jade stone was a top-grade jade. It was impossible to find another similar one.
It was even harder than finding the Ten Square World.
"What a coincidence." Old Master Zhong snorted and said unhappily, "Your Uncle Zhong's granddaughter is capable of doing both of the things that you mentioned."
His granddaughter was the best. He didn't accept any rebuttal.
Ying Zijin looked at Old Mr. Zhong's proud face and fell silent for a moment.
She didn't seem to have told Old Mr. Zhong that she knew how to carve.
She could do both?
The shareholders looked at each other when they heard this.
They weren't blind. How could they not see that Ying Zijin was just an underage high school student?
What kind of high school student could do something that so many of them couldn't do?
Wasn't this a joke?
The middle-aged shareholder fell silent when he heard this.
Old Mr. Zhong might be a playboy sometimes, but he would never joke about the Zhong Group.
Could it be that this girl adopted by the Family Ying had something special about her?
Thinking of this, the middle-aged shareholder carefully looked at the girl again.
Mm.
Not to mention, she was really good-looking.
He had never seen a girl prettier than her.
The middle-aged shareholder was also dissatisfied with Family Ying.
Putting aside the Fu and Jiang families, he remembered that Old Master Zhong's daughter was now the mistress of the Ying family.
Such a big thing had happened to the Zhong Family, yet there was no reaction at all.
She wasn't even as considerate as this young lady.
"Since Uncle Zhong has said so, then I apologize for what I said earlier." The middle-aged shareholder turned serious. "I wonder if Uncle Zhong has any solutions?"
Although there were a few shareholders and members of the other branches of the Zhong Group who had ulterior motives, most of the people in the Zhong Group were still loyal to Old Mr. Zhong.
It was nothing more than that. Without Old Master Zhong, there would be no Zhong Corporation today.
"The Ten Square World has been lost for so long, but no one in charge of the Emerald House noticed it." Old Mr. Zhong glanced at the manager of the Emerald House standing next to him. "This is negligence!"
"From today onwards, the Group Center will take over the Jade House. All the management of the Jade House will be dismissed."
The manager of the Jade House said bitterly, "Chairman Zhong, I …"
There were no traces left on the CCTV. What could he do?
"However, this also proves how cunning the thief is." Old Mr. Zhong said in a deep voice. "This is not only against the Jade House, but against the entire Zhong Group."
The thief must have a powerful background to be able to steal the Ten Square World without anyone noticing.
The shareholders' hearts skipped a beat.
Ying Zijin lowered her eyes, deep in thought.
"The only thing we can do now is to stall for time." Old Mr. Zhong made a decision. "Let's arrange a meeting with MK Group tomorrow."
DK Group was that multinational company.
It was said that the CEO of the company was a jade enthusiast, which was why he chose to buy the Ten Square World for his collection.
When they signed the contract, DK Group had already paid 200 million yuan in advance, and they were waiting for the delivery tomorrow.
"Uncle Zhong, leave this to me." The middle-aged shareholder stood up immediately. "I will contact Mr. Eugene now."

At this moment, in the Family Ying Mansion.
After the butler finished the call, he walked to the sofa and said in a low voice, "Miss Lu Wei, something has happened to the Zhong Family."
"The Zhong Family?" Ying Luwei was looking at skincare products online. Hearing this, she looked up and was stunned. "What happened to the Zhong Family?"
"I'm not very sure." The butler shook his head. "But I heard that they have offended a multinational company in Continent O, and it is very likely that it will affect the foundation of the Zhong Group."
"Just today, the shares of the Zhong Group have been falling."
Ying Luwei glanced at the second floor and said softly, "Did the Zhong Family call?"
"Yes," the butler said. "But it's not from the top management, but it seems that they want to ask Family Ying for help."
"Help?" Ying Luwei put down her phone and smiled sarcastically. "The Zhong Family has caused big trouble, and they want to drag Family Ying down with them. How can there be such a good thing?"
The butler understood. "Miss Lu Wei, you mean to stand by and do nothing?"
"Of course. There are no benefits, so why should we care?" Ying Luwei was quite contemptuous. "Also, there's no need to tell Sister-in-law about this."
She picked up her teacup and took a sip of tea. Smiling, she said, "Sister-in-law has been quite tired recently. There's no need to let her worry."
The Zhong Family had nothing to do with her, and she also hated Old Mr. Zhong.
She did not like anyone who treated Ying Zijin well.
The Zhong Family would not fall. After all, it was a century-old wealthy family with a strong foundation.
But she was happy to see if there would be a change in power.
To the butler, Ying Luwei's surname was Ying, and she was one of the leaders of the Ying family.
Since she said so, there was no need to discuss it further.
The butler left. "I'll go and reject the Zhong Family now."

On the other side of the ocean.
It was still the same basement.
A certain hacker felt that he had been really unlucky recently. He had not had a good rest.
One moment, he was called by this person, the next moment, he was called by that person.
They all ganged up to bully him.
What else could he say?
A perfect match!
"Young Master, Young Master, I'm investigating." A certain hacker ate instant noodles with one hand and typed quickly on the keyboard with the other. "Sigh, I'm convinced. You mean, there's actually no camera in the innermost part of a place where the most precious treasure is kept?"
If that incident had not happened, this master would not have not touched the computer, and he would not have to work so hard.
"There's no need to check the video." Fu Yunshen leaned against the wall and held the phone. "Just check the person."
Hearing this, a certain hacker was stunned and a little incredulous. "You mean … it can't be. They stole all the way to the mainland?"
"Other than them, there's no other possibility." Fu Yunshen lazily said, "Hurry up and find out before tomorrow night."
"Okay, okay, okay. I'm really scared of you." A certain hacker felt very tired. "Let's not talk about anything else. Remember to send me ten boxes of each of the new instant noodles in the mainland."
Fu Yunshen hung up the phone and raised his eyebrows.
How could he still be so lively when he could eat instant noodles so much?
Junk food was not good for the body.
He had just put down his phone when the old-fashioned mobile phone on the table rang again.
The person on the other end was wailing, almost heartbroken. "Brother, are you okay? Why did we buy Zhong Group's shares? Money! "
"Well, it's probably because —" Fu Yunshen looked up and smiled casually. "Lots of money."
"…"

The next day.
"Uncle Zhong, let me tell you a secret. I definitely saw a ghost," the middle-aged shareholder said in a low voice. "Our shares have risen again, and they're even higher than before."
"Of course." Old Mr. Zhong snorted. "I saw you, ugly ghost."
The middle-aged shareholder: "…"
No, didn't he just say that because he didn't know the truth? Old Mr. Zhong was too vengeful, wasn't he?
Old Mr. Zhong was happy. "I told you, my granddaughter is a lucky star. What do you know?"
The middle-aged shareholder completely shut up. He led Old Mr. Zhong and a few other important shareholders to the reception room.
There was already someone in the room.
A blonde foreigner in his early forties was holding a book. He was wearing a pair of glasses.
"Uncle Zhong, this is Mr. Eugene." The middle-aged shareholder introduced him. "Mr. Eugene, this is the chairman of Zhong Group."
Eugene stood up and reached out his hand. He was very polite and said in Chinese, "I've long heard of Chairman Zhong's name. It's a pleasure to meet you today."
"Let's cut to the chase. Mr. Eugene, you know the current situation." Old Mr. Zhong went straight to the point. "Please give us some time. Ten Square World will definitely send it over."
Hearing this, Eugene smiled. "Before we came, our boss already knew that Chairman Zhong would say this. But this is Zhong Group's fault. We, DK Group, have no reason to bear the loss for you."
He was going to make a condition.
Old Mr. Zhong's eyes darkened. "Please speak, Mr. Eugene."
"We can give you some time." Eugene took out a document. "But if you can't find Ten Square World within five days, you must use Jade Zhai as collateral."
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of all the shareholders changed.
Just like Imperial Fragrance Lane was the lifeblood of Fu Group, Jade Zhai was also the foundation of Zhong Group.
If Jade Zhai was gone, Zhong Group would suffer a great loss.
Old Mr. Zhong didn't even think about it and flatly refused. "That's impossible!"
There was no way he would hand over Jade Zhai.
"That's a pity." Eugene shook his head. "Since Zhong Group is so insincere, we have no choice but to be merciless."
"We don't want the 200 million top-tier DK Group either. After all, Zhong Group will fall soon."
It was a complete threat.
Old Mr. Zhong was so angry that he just wanted to smash the head of the person in front of him.
A voice sounded faintly.
"Okay, we'll sign it."
