When Zhou Jiancheng spoke in front of everyone, it was clear that he intended to embarrass Yi Lingfeng, even carrying a hint of insult.
After all, Jiang Wan Yu was truly a divorcee.
Jiang Wan Yu clenched her fists, ready to retort if it weren’t for the concern that it might negatively impact Yi Lingfeng.
What does it matter if she had been previously married to Lin Yi Chen?
Did that mean she wasn’t deserving of a second marriage?
And wasn’t Zhou Jiancheng only bold enough to insult her because the Jiang family had fallen?
If the Jiang family were still prosperous… Hmph!
In the end, it was just a case of people taking advantage of someone in dire straits!
Yi Lingfeng’s face darkened at this moment. “I respect you as an elder, that’s why I called you uncle. I don’t care about Wan Yu’s past. Why are you meddling in her business?”
Seeing Yi Lingfeng staunchly defend her, Jiang Wan Yu’s face revealed a touch of gratitude.
Although Zhou Jiancheng was not pleased with repeatedly losing face to Yi Lingfeng, he couldn’t help but feel a bit satisfied as he noticed the sympathy or strange looks the other shareholders were giving Yi Lingfeng and Jiang Wan Yu.
Hmph!
You want to challenge me?
You’re still too inexperienced!
You essentially gave me the opportunity to use Jiang Wan Yu’s situation against you. It would be a mistake on my part not to take advantage of it.
“Alright, alright, since you’re not happy with Uncle’s involvement, I won’t bring it up again. Anyway, this is your own choice of a wife. Let’s get back to business. Secretary Sun, please proceed with the meeting!” Zhou Jiancheng’s tone changed abruptly.
Secretary Sun nodded and began discussing Yi Lingfeng’s shares.
“Mr. Yi, you’ve been abroad for many years and may not be fully aware of the current situation of the company. The 30% of shares you hold mainly come from the original Yi Group. However, in recent years, the Yi Group has already declined. Currently, only a few companies like Huacheng and Longhu remain. But Huacheng has been consistently losing money. As Mr. Zhou mentioned, considering your relationship as uncle and nephew, we can give you ownership of these profitable companies. The condition is that you relinquish your 30% stake in Huacheng. What do you think?”
After Secretary Sun’s words, Zhou Jiancheng smiled smugly.
Heh heh.
What difference does 30% ownership make?
The companies that belonged to the Yi family had already been converted into Zhou Jiancheng’s own enterprises with the exception of the Huacheng headquarters which was off-limits to him. Regarding the other companies, they had already come under his ownership.
However, it was noteworthy that Huacheng Real Estate still stood as the most valuable asset within the Yi family’s portfolio.
Those two old Yi folks handed it over to a professional management company after their daughter’s death. Thus, over the years, despite the changes in the business world, Huacheng Real Estate has remained steadfast.
So, what does this young fellow know?
Show him some falsified accounts, give him the other companies of the Yi family, and he might think he has miraculously reclaimed the Yi family’s businesses.
Any rational person would choose to abandon the “loss-making” Huacheng and take control of the profitable companies, right?
Unfortunately, Yi Lingfeng is not just an inexperienced office worker.
“Since Huacheng has been consistently losing money, how can I let Uncle take it over? Moreover, my parents and grandparents’ wills have long stated that I would inherit everything they left behind when I turned eighteen. I’m already twenty-eight this year, so it’s time to fulfill their wishes and take control of what rightfully belongs to me. As for whether these assets are profitable or not, Uncle doesn’t need to worry about it.” Yi Lingfeng smiled.
Zhou Jiancheng really thought he could deceive him like a three-year-old?
Huacheng Real Estate has been under third-party supervision all this time, and Yi Lingfeng hasn’t been in the country for years. Therefore, the profits and investments have been continuously managed by a professional management company.
Over the years, the value of Huacheng Real Estate has already exceeded nearly ten billion.
