Chapter 948: Vice President Cooperates

He explained the pros and cons of the situation here in detail to everyone.

He also clarified his own stance—that he was not very willing to take on this project, but was simply forced into it and had no choice but to proceed.

Jian Yining said with disdain, "Pfft, humblebrag. You are being way too pretentious."

"Big shots all over the world are red-eyed trying to find ways to get their hands on this Diamond Mine, and now that you've gotten it without a sound, you're still hypocritically pretending you don't want it?"

Yun Zhehao patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, just endure it. People are only able to be pretentious because they truly have the strength. I'll buy in."

"We're brothers, so we should share the good times, and if there's any trouble, we'll bear it together. There's nothing more to say; in any case, wherever you go, I go," Sheng Zerong stated.

Jian Yixin: "I listen to my husband. In our family, the wife follows the husband's lead."

Then everyone looked at Jian Yining in unison...

Jian Yining: "Why are you all looking at me? You can't leave one person behind if you're leaving a group. Of course, I'll go with everyone else."

"I'm a man who has to support a family; I have to save up dowries for my daughters, so you can't leave me behind..."

Everyone reached an agreement on the matter of the Diamond Mine, and then the stock made Jian Yining anxious.

He asked Shi Youxuan: "Xuanxuan, although it's great to have a place where we can make a lot of money, it's a real pity to hand over the company we've operated for so many years to others!"

Shi Youxuan: "What handing over to others? Handing it over to whom?"

She looked completely bewildered.

Everyone else had an amused expression, just watching the show without saying a word.

Only Jian Yining was indignant: "Don't play dumb. I sold all the company's stock. If we don't find a way, the company will change hands."

Shi Youxuan ignored him, instead pulling Wan'er over and asking: "What kind of stimulation has your husband received lately? How has his IQ dropped so severely?"

Wan'er lowered her head and pursed her lips in a smile, but just smiled without speaking.

No one knew that the fake blind date candidate found to irritate Jian Yining last time had actually fallen for Wan'er.

Jin Zhenzhou had returned recently, was dating Wan'er frequently, and even came to visit their home.

This made Jian Yining feel a lot of pressure; he watched Wan'er nervously all day long and treated her doubly well, just for fear that his wife would be snatched away.

It is often said that a woman in love has the lowest IQ.

In fact, it is the same for men. Jian Yining was nervous about his wife and wanted to be better than Jin Zhenzhou in everything, but he was not as young as the other man, nor was he as highly educated.

His only advantage was being able to make money; if he lost the company, he was truly worried his wife would be snatched away.

He feared something, and that very thing happened.

He had sold the stocks and had money in hand, but with the risk of losing the company at any time, he could not stay calm.

But Sheng Hanyu soon put forward another requirement, which made him even less calm!

The Diamond Mine was no small matter; Sheng Hanyu demanded they go to L Country together for preliminary preparations, and he could only feel at ease if his own people were in the important positions.

If someone else took advantage of a loophole, everyone's years of hard work would be destroyed in an instant.

Everyone else agreed, but Jian Yining was unwilling; he explicitly stated he would not go.

"You have to go. Who doesn't know about staying with their wife and children in comfort? You're the only one with so many tricks? We're going together."

"Then I have to bring someone."

"Fine."

Jian Yining didn't know how he talked to Jin Zhenzhou, but in any case, he brought his romantic rival along when they went to L Country.

Let's go together, then there will be no worries behind.

The men went to L Country for at least three months, or up to half a year.

That place had no signal, and it was difficult to contact home even under normal circumstances. Only the women were left in Jiangzhou to manage the rear.

A few days later.

The Vice President issued a statement saying that the matter of the Diamond Mine had not been clearly finalized, and expressed great dissatisfaction with the news leaking out.

The implication was that Sheng Hanyu was suspected of fishing for fame.

Once this statement was issued, it immediately stirred up a thousand waves.

Ding Sheng's stock plummeted, all hot money was withdrawn, and it fell all the way back to below thirty percent of its normal value.

At this time, Shi Youxuan notified everyone: "Buy it back, the time has come."

After the women bought the stock back, the Vice President heavily investigated the newspaper that had published the statement.

He then issued another statement on a well-known television station: The mining rights for the newly developed Diamond Mine were indeed handed over to Mr. Sheng. It is truly hateful that unscrupulous domestic media published fake news to confuse the public in an attempt to fish in troubled waters; they will absolutely not be treated lightly!

A mysterious person recently came to the Sheng Family residential compound.

It is said to be a woman, and she is very young, but she is exceptionally good at fortune-telling and Feng Shui.

It is rumored to be miraculous in the compound, and no one knows if it is true or false.

Some people went to see her, and upon returning, they all said she was truly miraculous. Gradually, her reputation spread, growing larger and larger.

Originally, Sheng Jiang did not believe in these things.

But Lao Li, who played chess with him, had seen her and bragged about how miraculous she was.

He said the "Fairy Maiden" was simply a deity descended to earth; she knew everything without even asking.

He didn't believe it after hearing it once or twice, but after hearing it often, he naturally felt a bit moved.

His son had been away for a month, and had only called home twice during this period; he missed him very much.

How was the situation over at the Diamond Mine?

Was life hard or not?

Could he eat and sleep well?

Sheng Jiang didn't know anything about the situation, so he wanted to go find the "Fairy Maiden" to help his family calculate whether his son was doing well outside.

He asked Lao Li: "Help me invite the Fairy Maiden to take a look for me too."

"Fine, it's a small matter."

Very quickly, Lao Li relayed the words of the "Immortal Maiden."

"The Immortal Maiden said that your son is a man destined for great things, and he will surely make a fortune when he goes out, but..."

"But what? Speak quickly, are you trying to worry me to death?"

Lao Li: "It's just that this time he will face a bloody disaster, but whether he can turn misfortune into a blessing depends on his own destiny."

This statement was worse than saying nothing at all; Sheng Jiang hurriedly asked if there was a way to resolve it.

It is better to believe that such things exist than to believe they do not.

Lao Li said there was a solution, but the Immortal Maiden had not mentioned it.

He begged Lao Li to take him to see the "Immortal Maiden" to seek a method of resolution.

Lao Li: "The Immortal Maiden is not someone you can see just because you want to."

"Oh, I see."

Sheng Jiang understood: "What gifts should I bring to see the Immortal Maiden? How much money should I use?"

Lao Li curled his lip in disdain: "You must not bring money or valuable gifts; she has no interest in those things of the mundane world."

Sheng Jiang:...

He was a bit bewildered: "Then what should I do? What should I bring?"

Lao Li: "What is the date on the lunar calendar today?"

Sheng Jiang: "The twelfth."

Lao Li clapped his hands: "That's perfect, you should hurry home."

"After you get home, fast for three days. After three days, bathe and change your clothes, then go to Shanlin Temple to request incense. Remember, you cannot drive or take a vehicle; you must walk to show your sincerity."

He now believed Lao Li's words implicitly and asked: "How much alms is appropriate to give at Shanlin Temple? How much incense oil money should I add?"

"Pah!"

Lao Li spat at him: "Can you stop opening your mouth about money just because your family is rich? It's too vulgar! How many times have I told you? You need sincerity, do you understand sincerity?"

"You don't need to give alms, and you don't need to add incense oil money. Once you arrive at Shanlin Temple, find the Abbot and just say you are requesting incense to pray for the blessings of Zhu Xiangu."

"Oh, oh, alright, alright." He agreed readily.

Sheng Jiang asked cautiously: "Why is such a fine young lady called Pig... Immortal Maiden? This name is very strange."

"Pah, pah, pah!"

Lao Li was so angry he nearly flipped the chessboard.

"Old Sheng, oh Old Sheng, what am I supposed to say about you? The young lady's name is Zhu Xiangu, 'Zhu' as in bamboo, not 'Zhu' as in pig!"
