Lin Tianhao's attitude would have shocked the upper echelons of Jiangzhou. After all, he was the head of Changhe Real Estate, a man whose mere presence could shake the city. Yet here he was, humbling himself before a young man.
Even Lin Tiancheng, another key figure in Changhe who had accompanied him, saw nothing unusual in this behavior. The reason was simple: the person they were facing was of an intimidatingly high status.
At this moment, Wan Jing nodded and said, "There is one matter you should be aware of."
Lin Tianhao stiffened and quickly asked, "Is it about my daughter...?"
"Exactly. Even after that incident, I still can't forget Yixue. I'm returning to the capital tomorrow evening, and I want her to meet me and come with me," Wan Jing said casually.
Both Lin Tianhao and Lin Tiancheng fell silent. After a long pause, Lin Tiancheng spoke up, "Rest assured, Mr. Wan. Tomorrow, my brother and I will find Yixue and ensure she comes to see you."
"Good," Wan Jing nodded and continued, "If the first matter is resolved, we can proceed to the second."
"What is the second matter, Mr. Wan? We will spare no effort to handle it for you!" Lin Tianhao inquired.
Wan Jing got straight to the point, "If the first matter is successful, then start preparing. Choose a location for the headquarters in the capital."
Lin Tianhao and Lin Tiancheng were momentarily stunned, but then their faces lit up with joy. Before they could thank him, Wan Jing added, "I will fully support you until you are firmly established in the capital."
"Thank you, Mr. Wan!"
The two men bowed deeply in gratitude. At this moment, Wan Jing's voice turned cold, "On the condition that you resolve the first matter."
"Don't worry, Mr. Wan. My father's orders cannot be disobeyed. My daughter will come to see you personally tomorrow," Lin Tianhao affirmed.
"Good! Ma Assistant, please see them out," Wan Jing waved his hand.
"Please follow me, gentlemen."
"Farewell, Mr. Wan!"
The two men left the Jiangzhou Hotel and headed straight for the Lin family residence.
Time passed quickly, and the next day, as dawn broke over the capital, the Wan family meeting room was filled with top executives. Each held a tablet with stock market software open, their eyes fixed on the green light on the screens.
At 9:30 AM, the stock market opened. The green numbers began to fluctuate, gradually turning red.
"Finally, there's some improvement, hahaha..."
Someone laughed aloud. The stocks were no longer plummeting; they were starting to recover. Everyone's faces brightened, and even Wan Tong's stern expression relaxed. It was only a two-day crisis, and now things were looking up.
"Alright, since there's improvement, the worst is behind us. Let's get to work and try to boost the stocks today," Wan Tong said. "But don't let this slide. Keep investigating!"
"Yes, sir!" Everyone responded with renewed energy.
Soon, the group left the meeting room.
"Wangu, how is the investigation going?" Wan Tong suddenly asked the person beside him.
"Brother, it's all clear. The information is in the computer," Wangu said, handing his tablet to Wan Tong.
Wan Tong scanned through the data, his face darkening slightly. "This is very suspicious."
"Yes, it's indeed too strange. We can't take it lightly," Wangu agreed.
Wan Tong nodded. "Keep digging. Use all available resources. I have a feeling this isn't simple."
"Understood, Brother."
The two parted ways.
In Jiangzhou, Su Ming arrived at Changhe Real Estate early in the morning.
"What's going on?"
As soon as he walked in, Su Ming felt a heavy atmosphere. The employees were sitting stiffly, as if expecting a high-level inspection. He glanced toward the general manager's office, and his eyes narrowed.
Inside the office, the curtains were drawn, but with his keen eyesight, Su Ming could easily see Lin Yixue standing with her head down, her shoulders trembling slightly.
"Bastard!"
Fury rose within him, and he strode toward the office. As he reached the door, two black-suited bodyguards stepped in front of him, blocking his path.
"The chairman is inspecting. Go back to work," one of the bodyguards said coldly, mistaking Su Ming for an employee.
"Get out of the way!"
Su Ming's eyes blazed with anger. The two bodyguards were taken aback, feeling a chill run down their spines.
With a powerful kick, Su Ming burst through the door and entered the office. The employees, who had been watching from the corner of their eyes, gasped in shock.
"Stop!"
The bodyguards reacted, reaching out to grab Su Ming, but he was already inside. The bodyguards rushed in, but upon seeing Lin Tianhao raise his hand slightly, they backed out and closed the door again.
"Yixue, what's happening?"
Su Ming entered the office, ignoring everyone else and going straight to Lin Yixue. Her eyes were red and her cheeks wet with tears.
Hearing Su Ming's voice, Lin Yixue shook her head helplessly. Su Ming's heart ached, and his gaze turned icy.
Looking up, he saw two familiar faces: Lin Tianhao and Lin Tiancheng, Lin Yixue's father and uncle, whom he had met in high school and later seen on TV. Lin Tianhao had even talked to Su Ming when he learned of his daughter's feelings for him.
"President Su, is this appropriate? This is Changhe, not Hongda," Lin Tiancheng said slowly.
To be honest, after leaving the Jiangzhou Hotel last night, they had gathered Lin Yixue's recent schedule and were surprised to find that she had spent a lot of time with Su Ming. Further investigation revealed that Su Ming was a major shareholder in Hongda, holding 30% of the shares.
Lin Tianhao never imagined that the poor boy he had once paid 200,000 yuan to stay away from his daughter would reach such heights. If not for Changhe's goal of establishing itself in the capital, he wouldn't have opposed Lin Yixue's relationship with Su Ming. But now, an opportunity was at hand, and they couldn't afford to miss it.
Hearing Lin Tiancheng's words, Su Ming's eyes grew even colder.
"Gentlemen, Yixue is your closest kin. Is this how you treat her?" Su Ming struggled to control his anger, not wanting to worsen the relationship between Lin Yixue and her family.
