The sudden words made Eugene's smile disappear.
He frowned and looked at the door of the reception room.
It was a girl.
Her skin was fine and white, as if it was made of cream.
Her phoenix-like eyes were slightly raised, and the faint light was extinguished.
Her eyes were cold and her brows were cold.
She just looked straight at him.
Her aura was restrained, but it was like the calm water, which was even more oppressive.
This gaze made Eugene's heart skip a beat, as if some bad premonition was coming.
But in the next moment, he secretly snorted.
She was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. What could she do?
She was here to play.
He was really scared for a moment.
Eugene didn't look at the girl anymore. Instead, he turned to Old Mr. Zhong with a polite and distant expression. "Since Chairman Zhong is unwilling, then we have nothing to say. It's getting late. Let's say goodbye."
But he couldn't leave the conference room.
"Put down the agreement." Ying Zijin leaned against the door, turned her head, and repeated, "We'll sign it."
"No, absolutely not!" The middle-aged shareholder blurted out. "Jade House is the painstaking work of Zhong Group. You can mortgage anything, but not Jade House."
Even the stupidest person could see it now.
DK Group was clearly targeting Jade House. Otherwise, they wouldn't have made such a concession so quickly and put forward such conditions.
Maybe the loss of Ten Square World had something to do with DK Group.
But they had no evidence at all.
Moreover, how did DK Group steal Ten Square World under their noses, ignoring all the anti-theft systems?
The middle-aged shareholder looked at Eugene coldly. "Mr. Eugene, let's not beat around the bush. Even if we don't sign this deal, DK Group can't really make Zhong Group go bankrupt."
However, there would definitely be injuries to the muscles and bones.
Eugene froze for a moment, then smiled. "Since you all have such confidence, there's no need to sign the deal."
"No need." Ying Zijin looked up and said indifferently, "Sign it. We have other conditions."
Eugene's footsteps paused again. He looked at the girl from head to toe and said with contempt, "You can make decisions?"
As soon as these words came out, the other shareholders were also anxious.
However, Old Mr. Zhong was still there, so they could only beat around the bush.
"Chairman Zhong, you can't sign this agreement. Don't you know the importance of the Jade Shop?"
"That's right, Chairman Zhong. This is a big matter. How can you let a child come here? Are you fooling around?"
"No matter what, you can't mortgage the Jade House!"
Old Mr. Zhong didn't say anything.
He muttered to himself. It seemed that he had changed his mind because of Ying Zijin's words.
"Uncle Zhong, I know you're good to your granddaughter, but you have to consider the situation." The middle-aged shareholder saw that Old Mr. Zhong's expression was not right, so he quickly stopped him. "This agreement is obviously unfair. How can we sign it?"
The Jade Shop's value was much higher than the Ten Direction World.
Ying Zijin nodded and said unhurriedly, "So, we have to add more conditions."
The middle-aged shareholder was anxious and angry. "Miss Ying, you don't know anything. You don't know that the Jade Shop is really …"
"Okay, Zijin, Grandpa will listen to you." Old Mr. Zhong interrupted the middle-aged shareholder. "Let's sign this VAM agreement."
As he spoke, he ordered, "Give me the pen."
The special assistant on the side quickly handed over the pen.
However, Old Mr. Zhong didn't use it for himself. Instead, he gave it to Ying Zijin.
Ying Zijin paused for a moment and took the pen.
"The Jade Shop is indeed the most important business of the Zhong Group." Old Mr. Zhong coughed and said majestically, "So, if we lose this VAM agreement, I, as the chairman, will naturally be blamed and will step down."
The middle-aged shareholder's expression changed drastically. "Uncle Zhong!"
As soon as he said this, the other shareholders couldn't say anything.
After all, the Zhong Group was now in a dilemma.
If they signed it, the Jade Shop would be gone.
However, if they didn't sign it, under the operation of DK Group, half of the Zhong Group would fall.
There was actually no difference between the two.
"Okay." Old Mr. Zhong waved his hand. "Anyway, I'm old. I can retire early."
His words couldn't hide his disdain. "It's you people who disturb me from browsing Weibo every day. I'm an old man, and I still have to clean up your business. It's so annoying."
The middle-aged shareholder: "…"
It turned out that in Old Mr. Zhong's eyes, they were inferior to Weibo.
Eugene was also a little surprised by Old Mr. Zhong's change of attitude.
He frowned slightly and smiled. "So, Miss Ying can represent the entire Zhong Group and Chairman Zhong?"
"Nonsense." Old Mr. Zhong snorted. "Zijin, you have a say today."
Ying Zijin patted him on the back to comfort him. She looked at Eugene and said indifferently, "If we find Ten Square World within five days, the three hundred million USD order of DK Group will be taken by the Zhong Group."
"…"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone was stunned.
The middle-aged shareholder was puzzled. "Uncle Zhong, what order?"
Old Mr. Zhong shook his head. "I don't know."
Eugene's face darkened. "You're quite arrogant."
Besides, how did she know that DK Group had this order?
"It doesn't matter." Ying Zijin looked up. "Add this condition and we'll sign the agreement."
Her expression was indifferent. "You can think about it."
With just a few words, the situation had reversed.
Now, it was DK Group that was being threatened.
The shareholders couldn't understand why DK Group was being threatened.
Logically speaking, there was no need to consider such an unreasonable condition.
Eugene's expression changed. After a while, he sneered. "Okay, if you can find Ten Square World within five days, DK Group will give up the three hundred million USD order."
But how was that possible?
"Jade Zhai won't lose, and Ten Square World won't be lost." Ying Zijin put down the pen and straightened up. "Please."
"Anyone can say such big words." Eugene shook his head and signed his name with the pen.
There were two copies of the agreement. He put one of them into his briefcase and looked up with a regretful smile. "It seems that the Zhong Group isn't smart."
For a three hundred million USD order that they couldn't get. They really chose to sign the VAM agreement.
They didn't know if they were stupid or naive.
They were courting death.
After Eugene left, the middle-aged shareholder was anxious. "Uncle Zhong, we don't even know where Ten Square World is. What should we do?"
If they couldn't find Ten Square World by the time, Old Mr. Zhong would have to step down.
To the shareholders and Zhong Tianyun and the others, this was something that they could only wish for.
But no one wanted to lose Jade Zhai.
"There will be." Ying Zijin tilted her head. "You don't have to worry about Ten Square World."
She thought for a moment and said, "You can stay at home and look at Weibo these days. I found some video materials for you. They should have a lot of shares."
Old Mr. Zhong was immediately happy. "Okay, okay, send them to my phone later."
The middle-aged shareholder: "???"
So it was his granddaughter who spoiled him?
Why did he feel that something was wrong?
The other shareholders shook their heads. They only felt that Old Mr. Zhong was muddle-headed and impulsive.
Not to mention whether they could find the whereabouts of Ten Square World in five days, it was simply crazy to leave this matter to a high school student who hadn't even stepped into society.
"Grandpa, I have something to do." Ying Zijin nodded. "I'll leave first."
Old Mr. Zhong didn't ask and let her do her own thing.
Although he thought that his granddaughter was the best, he really couldn't put such a big thing on the shoulders of a child.
Old Mr. Zhong thought for a moment and said to the other shareholders, "We have to make preparations. Now, contact all the carving masters immediately."
**
That night, only two or three hours after the VAM agreement with DK Group was signed.
On Weibo, the news that the Zhong Group had lost Jade Zhai's treasure, Ten Square World, suddenly broke out.
The four richest families in Hu City weren't as famous as the families in the capital, but the companies under them were the top 100 companies in the country, so they were very popular.
Especially in the jade industry, because of the reputation, there were many customers.
After hearing the news, although it didn't cause much of a stir and didn't appear on the hot search list, some netizens were still shocked.
[Why would such a big corporation like the Zhong Group throw away something as important as the treasure of the temple? What about the management? Are they all useless???]
[I'm a little scared. I ordered a jade Guanyin for my grandpa's birthday and signed the order, but the goods will only be checked in ten days. Even Ten Square World was lost. Who knows if my jade Guanyin will be lost? No, I'm worried. I'm going to the Jade Zhai to refund the order now. This is also the Zhong Family's problem, and they need to compensate.]
As soon as this comment was posted, many comments appeared.
[Sister, let's go together. The management ability of the Zhong Group … is really worrying.]
[I'm in Hu City. I'll refund it early tomorrow morning.]
[Jade Zhai has always been good in the past, and the jade works were very exquisite. What happened? Don't talk about it, it's the management's problem. Who's the current chairman of the Zhong Group?]
[I don't know the name, but I heard that it's an old man. How can something like this happen?]
Just as the comments were in a mess, a new trending topic popped up in the trending search bar.
