The Zhuang Family’s efficiency was indeed very high, and the next day, a lawyer came to Ruiye Holdings with a dozen asset transfer agreements in hand.

These assets included a shipbuilding yard, a timber trading company, a chain of fruit supermarkets, as well as shares in several companies and over a dozen real estate properties.

Moreover, the contracts were already all signed; they were just waiting for Xiao Ming’s signature, upon which they would immediately become effective.

Regarding the amounts listed, naturally, he wasn’t required to spend a penny.

This was the ransom and apology paid by the Zhuang Family for Zhuang Wending’s release.

"Everyone, take a look. If you like anything, just sign your name—that’s fine, and don’t worry about the Zhuang Family causing you any trouble. Prominent families always care about face. As the principal party in the transaction, I have the say in how to handle it, and that’s exactly how it will be handled."

In the meeting room, Zhou Jicang, Duan Zhengde, and Cao Zhining exchanged glances, while Yun Shi Yu, Yang Hanqing, and Shen Siyi seemed unsure of what expressions to adopt.

Aside from Zhou Jicang, the others had only just found out about Xiao Ming angering the Zhuang Family, but the outcome had shocked them to the core, their beliefs trembling.

The mighty Zhuang Family had actually lost, and moreover, they had retreated from Longyin overnight, suffering a resounding defeat.

What had happened yesterday?

And how did Xiao Ming achieve this?

"This..."

After a long while, Cao Zhining spoke up first, "I won’t lie to you, Mr. Xiao; I’m quite envious of these industries, but as you also know, Dabang’s situation is tight, and we absolutely can’t muster the funds to purchase them!"

"No rush about the money," Xiao Ming said. "Take whatever you’re interested in, but I wouldn’t recommend Dabang to keep and run them on your own. It would be best to sell them off. The prices listed in the agreements are low, and how much you can really sell them for depends on your ability. Any extra is Dabang’s profit, and the listed price can be considered an investment from Ruiye."

"In that case..." Cao Zhining looked at Zhou Jicang and Duan Zhengde, then said, "I will take a few shares and properties then. Holding them for a while, selling for a billion should not be a problem."

"I want this shipbuilding yard," Duan Zhengde immediately chimed in. "That’s perfect, once the Daxing Ship Services matter is resolved, my company can quickly get back on track."

"On behalf of the Yun Family, I want the fruit supermarket chain," Yun Shi Yu said. "But I need to wait, I will return to the provincial city for a bit, and I should be able to send you news by this afternoon at the latest."

Xiao Ming nodded and turned his gaze to Zhou Jicang, "Sir Zhou, aren’t you interested in anything?"

Zhou Jicang chuckled, "The opposite, I’m interested in everything. However, since I am the eldest here, it would not be fair to bully you youngsters.

Now that everyone has made their picks, the rest shall be mine, if you have no objections?"

Of course, everyone shook their heads in agreement.

The old man joyfully gathered the remaining agreements in front of him and signed off on each one, looking like he had just taken advantage of a great deal.

In fact, Xiao Ming was very aware that while the prices of these Zhuang Family assets were indeed far below market value, for Canghai Group, they were just items worth a few tens of millions, nothing more significant than chicken ribs.

The old man’s unusual enthusiasm was simply a veiled apology.

Whether he was genuinely feeling guilty about his son or was scared by the Zhuang Family’s withdrawal, in any case, Zhou Jicang was reluctant and dared not give up the goodwill between him and Xiao Ming.

After the meeting, Xiao Ming called Yun Shi Yu into his office.

"Next week, I will accept Sir Duan’s invitation to visit Lingnan for a few days.

Once the agreements just now are finalized, the company’s accounts will be temporarily flush with funds. Then, according to the procedures we agreed on in the previous meetings, you will have full control over the operations. Is that okay?"

"There’s no problem, but you make it sound nice, ’full control.’ Isn’t it still about following the plans you’ve set out?"

The girl playfully rolled her eyes at him, "I’ve finally seen the light, going into business with you is essentially just working for you, and I’m the kind that even pays to get the job."

"Oh, come on, you make it sound like you wouldn’t want a share of the profits when the time comes."

"Why wouldn’t I? You’re not my..."

Her words stopped abruptly, and Yun Shi Yu tucked a strand of hair behind her ear before changing the subject, "What exactly happened yesterday? How did you make the Zhuang Family back down?"

"Don’t snoop around, knowing too much isn’t good for you. Anyway, it’s all stuff that would be censored if written out."

"Yeah, keep bragging."

She threw him a pair of sanitary balls, and Yun Shi Yu said, "Speaking of going to Lingnan, isn’t it about setting up a joint venture with Qingyuan Group? I heard the stake is even as much as 34%, where did you get that much money?"

"Don’t worry about it, just leave a quota of ten million on the account for me."

After a pause, Xiao Ming added, "Right, lend me your Lan for a few days, have her follow Jiang Xue. I’ll return her to you when I get back."

Yun Shi Yu didn’t hesitate for a second, "Sure, I’ll have her go to Xue later, and I won’t bring her back to the capital with me."

At noon, Xiao Ming went to Kanjiang No. 1 to pick up Jiang Xue for lunch, and when Lan saw him, she snorted coldly, her eyes throwing daggers.

"It’s just over ten days without accompanying Yu, is it really necessary to hate me this much?" Xiao Ming chuckled.

"If Madam were in Longyin, it wouldn’t be impossible for me to leave. Because no matter what happens, I can quickly rush over," Lan said coldly. "But do you know what the capital city means to her?"

Xiao Ming was stunned, "Isn’t the capital city within the Yun Family’s sphere of influence? For her, it should be the safest place in the world, right?"

"Quite the opposite," Lan shook her head, "If there is only one place left in the world that could harbor malice against her, it would definitely be the Yun Family in the capital city."

Xiao Ming furrowed his brows.

Although Yun Shi Yu’s fate in his previous life was tragic, there had never been any abuse or persecution. Even that tragedy was related to her becoming paralyzed.

Moreover, various signs indicated that the Yun Family patriarch genuinely cherished his granddaughter, or else he wouldn’t have let Yun Shi Yu go out to independently manage the Yun Family’s industries in Longyin.

It’s just that the old man was rather traditional and conservative, believing that all girls would eventually belong to other families, and even if they were exceptionally talented, they couldn’t carry on the Yun Family lineage. Therefore, his only wish was to marry her into a grand and wealthy family for the clan’s benefit.

Regardless, it didn’t seem as serious as Lan made it sound, did it?

However, he was still thinking too simply.

The affection of feudal elders for their descendants differs from the love in universal values; their love is more selfish.

In the afternoon, Xiao Ming didn’t receive a call from Yun Shi Yu, and no one answered when he dialed her number, which finally started making him feel anxious.

Just as he was hesitating whether to bring Lan to the capital city, the receptionist suddenly reported that a relative of Yun Shi Yu wanted to see him.

Soon after, a young man with a head full of dyed yellow hair and a careless demeanor walked into the office.

Chewing gum in his mouth, he first glanced around at the decor, then dismissed it with a sneer, lifting his chin arrogantly and asked, "You’re Xiao Ming, huh?"

Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes.

That voice sounded very familiar.

"Yes, I am. And you are?"

"The young master’s name is Yun Feiwen, here to take over Yun Shi Yu’s shareholdings in Ruiye," said the young man.

He slapped a document on the table, "This is the share transfer letter personally signed by Yun Shi Yu."
