Chapter 81 Birthday Approaching
Watching Shen Qingzhu clean up the ground, she bowed and scraped as she led the person away.
Ji Ruoyu was still a little shaken and didn't even know how she got into the car.
After Ye Chen drove the car a distance, Ji Ruoyu finally calmed down.
He turned to Ye Chen and asked, "How do you know those people? And why do they call you Young Master Ye?"
Shen Qingzhu's demeanor didn't suggest she was a good person.
He brought so many henchmen with him; they looked like local thugs.
Ye Chen casually said, "I wouldn't say we know each other. I ran into Li Gousheng at his company before. He wanted to acknowledge me as his boss, but I didn't agree."
Ji Ruoyu was somewhat skeptical, but looking at Shen Qingzhu's posture just now, he couldn't help but believe it.
Suddenly remembering something, Ji Ruoyu asked again, "What were you doing at Li Gousheng's company? I didn't know."
Ye Chen didn't know how to explain for a moment, after all, he couldn't explain the Night Fiend incident either.
Seeing Ye Chen remain silent, Ji Ruoyu frowned as she thought of the relationship between Li Gousheng and Liu Wenwan.
After all, Liu Wenwan also had another identity: the number one white paper fan in Wucheng, and knew many people on the street.
Given Liu Wenwan's attitude towards Ye Chen, it's not impossible for people on the street to want to get along with Ye Chen.
Thinking of this, Ji Ruoyu frowned and said, "You should avoid contact with these kinds of people on the street, lest you get into trouble later."
After saying that, Ji Ruoyu shut her mouth and stopped talking.
Ye Chen was somewhat confused and too lazy to explain, so he drove all the way back to the Ji family.
As soon as Li Ruoyu got home, she found the house bustling with activity.
Everywhere was decorated with lanterns and red decorations. Ye Chen was a little puzzled; there was still time before the New Year.
"Why are you dressed up like this already?" Li Ruoyu stepped forward and asked, "Uncle Sun, what are you doing?"
Upon hearing this, Butler Sun Bo smiled and said, "Second Miss, you've been too busy lately, you even forgot Great-Grandma's birthday?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ruoyu slapped her forehead, only then remembering that in three days it would be her great-grandmother's 70th birthday.
By then, it was already quite late to get dressed.
Obviously, it's because the company has been too busy lately, which has caused delays.
"Yes, yes, look at my memory, I'm so busy my brain has gone numb, I forgot such an important thing."
Ye Chen was also a little surprised to hear this. He didn't expect that the birthday of the Ji family's great-grandmother would arrive so soon.
Li Ruoyu quickly said, "Let's go in and see Great-Grandma."
Ye Chen nodded, and the two entered the main villa together.
As soon as I entered the hall, I saw Li Ruoyun and Ji Xiaoren fawning over the great-grandmother of the Ji family.
The great-grandmother of the Ji family did not look too good when she saw Li Ruoyu and Ye Chen walk in.
Just as a smile appeared on the face of the Ji family's great-grandmother, Li Ruoyun sensed something.
When he turned around and saw Li Ruoyu and Ye Chen, his face immediately fell.
He said sarcastically, "Oh, so you guys know to come back. I bet you've been so busy these past few days that you even forgot about Great-Grandma's birthday."
“If my dad and I hadn’t remembered, I don’t know who would have remembered my great-grandmother’s birthday.”
Li Ruoyu frowned upon hearing this, while Ye Chen laughed and said, "Yes, if it weren't for you guys pulling this stunt, we wouldn't be so busy."
Upon hearing this, Li Ruoyun immediately retorted angrily, "What do you mean?"
Ye Chen said calmly, "Isn't my meaning clear enough?"
"Could it be that such a coincidence really exists in the world? It was in the news yesterday."
"Today, Young Master Qin bought the stocks held by Second Master and Third Master, and even invited Second Master and Third Master to the company to show their support."
"How come you've already forgotten about the shit you just ate? Now Young Master Qin is a shareholder of the company."
"Although he has no decision-making power, his position cannot be ignored. Can you say that this has nothing to do with you?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ruoyun's expression changed, and she turned around, about to explain.
I could see that my great-grandmother's face had turned cold.
She quickly spoke up to explain, "Great-Grandma, that's not how it is."
"Young Master Qin learned about the company's financial difficulties from me."
"That's why they wanted to help us; the negative news has nothing to do with us."
As she spoke, Ji Ruoyun pointed at Ye Chen and said, "You have no evidence, so don't make baseless accusations here."
Ye Chen shrugged and said, "If I had evidence, do you think you'd still be standing here right now?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaoren immediately lost his footing and said, "What do you mean? If Second Master and Third Master want to sell their shares, I can't stop them."
"Young Master Qin is practically one of our own, so selling to him is better than selling to someone else."
"Moreover, with Qin Shao taking over the company, which is currently facing problems, it's also a good thing for us."
"At the very least, with Young Master Qin taking over, some families that covet our power will restrain themselves a bit."
Ji Xiaoren's words were much more sophisticated than Ji Ruoyun's.
They have made it clear that they have no other choice but to do this.
At the same time, Qin Shao was included in the Ji family, and the benefits were explained.
After hearing this explanation, it's clear that they were not only right, but actually did the right thing.
Seeing this, Ye Chen wanted to speak again, but the Ji family's great-grandmother squatted down on the ground with her cane.
"Stop arguing. This matter is over. The most important thing now is to get the things at hand done."
"What's the point of arguing about right and wrong here? I don't care if you meant well but did something wrong, or what."
"But in the future, before you do something like this, please ask for my opinion first, understand?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaoren's expression turned slightly unpleasant; these words clearly indicated a lack of trust in them.
However, compared to the Qin family's aggressive attitude, Liu Wenwan didn't say a word and simply presented herself with a offer of 3 billion.
In comparison, the Qin family seemed too materialistic, so it's understandable that the Ji family's great-grandmother disliked them.
However, in Ji Xiaoren's view, Qin Shao would be his son-in-law sooner or later, and these 10% of shares would be in Qin Shao's hands.
It's like having it in his hands, which would be extremely beneficial for him to control the company.
He certainly wouldn't say that, and could only respectfully reply, "Yes, Mom, from now on, I will definitely ask you first before making a decision on such matters."
Seeing this, Ji Ruoyun changed the subject, saying, "Young Master Qin knows that today's shareholders' meeting was somewhat unpleasant. I heard that your birthday is coming up soon."
"We've already arranged for someone to prepare a birthday gift for you, and we guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Grandma Ji simply nodded slightly and didn't say anything more.
However, she was somewhat wary of Qin Zihao.
After all, she had been in the business world for so many years, and she always felt that Qin Zihao had some ulterior motives.
However, Ji Ruoyun probably wouldn't listen to anything he said, so she simply didn't bother arguing with him.
When Qin Zihao's true colors are revealed, Ji Ruoyun will naturally realize the truth. She just hopes that by then it will still be in time.
Ji Ruoyun had no idea what her great-grandmother was thinking, and said with a smile, "Great-grandmother, you are in very good health now."
"This time, our Ji family has the support of the Zhao family, the Qin family, and Tianfeng Group."
"I'm sure your birthday banquet will be very lively this time."
"Unfortunately, some people only care about work, which caused us to waste preparation time. I just hope we don't embarrass ourselves."
Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu frowned immediately. Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, thinking, "Is this never going to end?"
Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted again by the great-grandmother of the Ji family, who said, "Alright, I'm already so old. It's enough for the family to have a meal together for my birthday."
"I don't ask for much glory, I just want my family to be harmonious and peaceful."
After hearing this, Ye Chen didn't say anything more. After exchanging greetings, the two chatted for a while longer.
Grandma Ji sent them all away. On the way back, Ye Chen and Ji Ruoyu were very unhappy.
Suddenly, Ji Ruoyu turned around sharply and said, "Ye Chen, we absolutely cannot let our uncle's family outdo us in this birthday celebration."
I remember how my uncle's family would always make things difficult for my great-grandmother when she had her birthday.
Now that she had money, Ji Ruoyu naturally didn't want to suffer this loss again.
"Grandma is a Buddhist, and her favorite thing is Buddha statues. What do you think about us buying a really nice Buddha statue?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid there will be no shortage of people giving Buddha statues at that time, so this is too unoriginal."
"You don't need to worry about this. Leave it to me. I guarantee we'll get the birthday gift and become the center of attention."
Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu looked at Ye Chen with some doubt and asked, "Are you sure you can do it?"
Ye Chen patted his chest and said, "When have I ever disappointed you?"
Ji Ruoyu thought for a moment and realized that she didn't really have one. Then she took out the card that had contained two million yuan in hush money.
He said, "Here is five million. If it's not enough, just tell me."
Ye Chen took the card, a smile appearing on his face, and said, "That's enough. Come to think of it, this card isn't exactly a token of our love?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu blushed, glared at Ye Chen, and went into her room on her own.
