So satisfying! The Great Demon King wiped out everyone equally!

"Regardless of whether it's Zhou Manyun or Wang Manyun, Old Madam Zhou has already publicly revealed Zhou Yulan's identity in front of everyone, and from now on, she will be the only daughter of the Zhou family."

Immediately afterward, Cang Lan, listening to the discussions downstairs, slightly raised his chin and continued, "From now on, the Zhou Group will be inherited by my granddaughter, Zhou Yulan."

These words were like a bombshell, instantly causing a sensation throughout the room. Shen Yue and Zhou Qiming were also stunned; they hadn't expected Cang Lan to make this decision so suddenly.

Zhou Qiming hesitated for a moment and said, "Mom, Lanlan just got back. Isn't it too early for you to do this?"

Canglan rolled her eyes at him and didn't say anything.

When Zhou Yanli heard this news and the discussions around him, his face turned somewhat ugly.

"Yanli, judging from your mother's attitude, the Zhou Group will have nothing to do with you from now on," a friend joked.

"Your grandma is so biased, choosing such a country girl to manage the company."

Zhou Yanli was somewhat unhappy, but he didn't show it.

He said somewhat impatiently, "What's it to you? My grandma has her reasons for making this decision. Besides, I already knew about it. If she wants to give it to me, then so be it. Managing a company is too tiring, and I'm not cut out for it."

Just as Zhou Yanli was feeling somewhat disappointed, Cang Lan continued, "I will invest in my grandson Zhou Yanli to start a new company, so that he can showcase his talents and do what he wants to do."

When Zhou Yanli heard his grandmother say this downstairs, his eyes lit up and a joyful smile spread across his face. He turned to his friend who had just teased him and said:

"Oh dear, I already told Grandma I didn't need money to start a business, but she insisted. Do your families also give you money directly to start a company?"

Friends around them cast envious glances, and the atmosphere at the banquet gradually became lively.

Wang Manyun stood in a corner on the first floor, staring intently at Zhou Yulan, who was surrounded by a crowd.

Zhou Yulan, you're just a country bumpkin who can't stand up to anyone, what makes you think you can compete with me!

Just then, her gaze found a figure in the crowd—Jian Yunzhou. She was secretly delighted, thinking that this was a good opportunity to trip up Zhou Yulan.

So, she composed herself, put on a seemingly polite but scheming smile, and walked towards Jian Yunzhou.

"Young Master Jian, do you still remember me?"

Jian Yunzhou glanced over, but quickly looked away. He naturally remembered her, having crossed paths with her at school. However, Wang Manyun was no longer the Zhou family's heiress and held no further value to him. A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes as he said indifferently, "And this young lady is?"

Wang Manyun cursed Jian Yunzhou's hypocrisy in her heart, but she still maintained a smile on her face and continued, "Young Master Jian, why are you so cold to me? Now, Zhou Yulan is the Zhou family's daughter, and Chairman Zhou has just decided that she will inherit the company. But after all, she comes from the countryside and certainly has no experience in managing a company."

She paused slightly, glancing at Jian Yunzhou with a hint that seemed to suggest, "How about..."

Jian Yunzhou was extremely astute; upon hearing this, he immediately understood Wang Manyun's intention.

This Zhou Yulan is just a country girl who has never seen the world. Chasing a country girl is a piece of cake for him. At that time, wouldn't the Zhou Group be within his grasp?

Thinking of this, a hint of inquiry appeared in his eyes as he looked at Wang Manyun: "Why did you help me?"

Wang Manyun was startled, not expecting Jian Yunzhou to see through her thoughts so quickly, but she still tried to remain calm and said, "I didn't help you, I just mentioned it casually."

Jian Yunzhou snorted coldly and said without any mercy, "I don't know what your purpose is in telling me all this, but you need to understand that you have nothing to do with the Zhou family now, so you should stay out of the Zhou family's business."

Wang Manyun's face flushed red and then paled with anger. She suppressed her rage. In the past, who would have dared to speak to her like that? But now, the situation was beyond her control, so she could only grit her teeth and compromise, saying, "Young Master Jian, what are you saying? I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now." With that, she hurriedly departed.

Jian Yunzhou watched Wang Manyun's departing figure, curled his lip in disdain, and then turned his gaze to Zhou Yulan in the crowd.

He saw Zhou Yulan sitting alone in the corner, and his heart stirred. He immediately tidied his appearance, put on a refined and gentlemanly demeanor, and walked towards Zhou Yulan.

"Hello, Miss Zhou, I am Jian Yunzhou. May I ask you to dance?" Jian Yunzhou walked up to Zhou Yulan, bowed slightly, and said with a gentle smile.

Zhou Yulan turned to look at him, a hint of confusion in her eyes, wondering why this unfamiliar boy would suddenly invite her.

But she politely declined, saying, "I can't dance."

Jian Yunzhou's smile froze instantly, but he quickly regained his composure, thinking that this country girl was probably just shy and not quite used to this kind of situation. So, he shamelessly said, "If you don't know, I can teach you."

Zhou Yulan frowned slightly, somewhat impatient with Jian Yunzhou's persistence, but she still maintained her politeness and said indifferently, "No need, thank you."

Jian Yunzhou was met with a cold shoulder, but he was not willing to give up. He saw some cakes on the table next to him, so he took a few pieces, walked up to Zhou Yulan again, and said with a smile, "Miss Zhou, please try these flavors of cake. They all taste very good."

Zhou Yulan looked at him with some surprise. Although she didn't know why this person was so attentive and shameless, she didn't want to cause any unpleasantness in this situation, so she said "thank you," took the cake, and sat down to the side.

Seeing that Zhou Yulan did not refuse again, Jian Yunzhou was overjoyed and began to chat with Zhou Yulan incessantly, from the banquet arrangements to the latest fashion trends, and then to some anecdotes about celebrities. He spoke with great enthusiasm, trying to arouse Zhou Yulan's interest.

Zhou Yulan simply sat there quietly, occasionally offering a perfunctory response.

She would have left long ago if she hadn't felt that she shouldn't cause trouble for her parents and grandmother on the first day.

After a while, Zhou Yulan couldn't stand Jian Yunzhou's nagging any longer, so she made an excuse and said, "Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom." After saying that, she hurriedly left and took the opportunity to run back to the second floor.

Upstairs, Cang Lan and Shen Yue were resting. Seeing Zhou Yulan return, Shen Yue quickly asked, "Lanlan, how are you feeling? Has anyone bullied you?"

Zhou Yulan shook his head and said honestly, "It's alright."
