Reborn back to the day I descended the mountain, Miss Ji, I will take responsibility for you!

"President Ji, you, you, you..." Sun Fugui pointed at Ji Ruoyu, speechless for a moment.

Ji Ruoyu remained calm, while Ye Chen smiled as he looked at his wife's domineering demeanor.

Ye Chen immediately retorted, feigning superiority, "What do you mean, 'you'? Didn't you hear what my wife said?"

Sun Fugui was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then suddenly remembered something and pointed at Ye Chen, saying, "You're Ye Chen, the live-in son-in-law of the Ji family?"

Ye Chen didn't speak, but neither did the people around him; the situation was obvious.

Sun Fugui immediately felt like he'd been screwed over, realizing he'd kicked a hornet's nest.

No matter how unpopular Ye Chen is in the Ji family, he is still a member of the Ji family, and no matter what, he is not someone they can bully.

No wonder Ji Ruoyu sided with Ye Chen; Sun Fugui was now in a difficult position.

Finally, gritting his teeth, Sun Fugui said coldly, "Fine, you win. You just wait and see, don't fall into my hands."

As he spoke, Sun Fugui made a phone call to the insurance company. For a car this expensive, he naturally had purchased full coverage insurance.

After hanging up the phone, Sun Fugui looked at Ji Ruoyu and said, "The insurance company will discuss the compensation issue with you. I'm sorry, I can't keep you company."

After saying that, Sun Fugui turned around, hailed a car, and left angrily.

After Sun Fugui left, Wang Ergou looked at Ji Ruoyu nervously, since today's events were all caused by him.

Offending a major client will likely result in disciplinary action, or even dismissal.

Ji Ruoyu looked at the trembling Wang Ergou and said calmly, "You did nothing wrong today. Quickly have someone tow the car away so as not to delay the entry and exit of company vehicles."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ergou felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly said, "Okay, Mr. Ji, I'll have someone tow the car away right away."

After arranging things for Wang Ergou, Ji Ruoyu looked at Ye Chen and said, "It's perfect that you're here. Take me back later."

Ye Chen naturally had no reason to refuse. He stayed at the company for a while until the insurance company came to determine liability, assess damages, and provide compensation.

The Lamborghini was towed away, and it was just after get off work hours, so Ye Chen went to the underground parking garage and drove Ji Ruoyu's car to the company entrance.

Ji Ruoyu also happened to come down from the company entrance, got into the car, and sat in the passenger seat.

The car then sped away amidst Wang Ergou's adoring gaze.

In the car, Ye Chen looked at Ji Ruoyu, who was wearing makeup, and was somewhat surprised, since Ji Ruoyu didn't usually wear makeup.

"Why are you wearing makeup today? Is it for me?"

Ji Ruoyu rolled her eyes in annoyance and said, "We were supposed to talk to the Sun family today. Wearing makeup is just the most basic respect."

Ye Chen curled his lip and said, "He's just that kind of person. I think it's a good thing we don't have to cooperate."

Ji Ruoyu frowned and said, "Can you please stop? You always act so nonchalant. Although the Sun family isn't a big family in Wucheng..."

"But you should know that it's easy to offend the King of Hell, but difficult to deal with his underlings. Moreover, the Sun family only has one son, Sun Fugui, and he suffered a loss here today."

“He might try to deal with us later. This is a critical moment. Can’t you think about me?”

"You're always like this, making it difficult for me to carry out my work. What am I going to do if the project runs into problems?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen fell silent. Seeing that Ye Chen didn't speak, Ji Ruoyu also remained silent, as if in a fit of pique.

So the car drove in silence all the way to the front door of the house.

The two returned to their room, tidied up briefly, and then the housekeeper sent someone to deliver a message.

"Great-Grandma, tell everyone to come to the dining room for dinner. We're having a family feast today. I have something to say to you."

Ji Ruoyu and Ye Chen exchanged a glance, somewhat puzzled, but both nodded in agreement.

Fifteen minutes later, Ji Ruoyu and Ye Chen arrived first, and Ji's great-grandmother arrived shortly after.

Then came Ji Ruoyu's parents and Ji Ruoyun's parents; only Ji Ruoyun hadn't arrived yet.

After waiting another fifteen minutes, the great-grandmother of the Ji family frowned slightly and looked at Ji Xiaoren, saying, "Eldest son, where did your daughter go?"

Just as Ji Xiaoren was about to speak, Ji Ruoyun arrived late, adorned with jewels and carrying a pile of shopping bags.

Seeing that everyone in the restaurant was waiting for her, she put on an embarrassed posture and said, "I'm sorry, Young Master Qin insisted on dragging me to buy something, and I accidentally made a little delay."

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he casually placed some luxury items on the chair near Ji Ruoyu.

She even pretended to take out the jewelry she was wearing, complaining as she did so, "You have no idea how tired I am trying on clothes and jewelry today."

Ye Chen looked at Ji Ruoyun, who was putting on an act, and felt speechless. Ji Ruoyu also frowned.

After Ji Ruoyun finished packing her things, she said, "Great-Grandma, what's going on with you today? You're being so mysterious."

Ji Ruoyun had originally planned to stroll around a bit more, have a candlelight dinner that evening, and then have some intimate moments with Qin Shao.

He received a call from his father halfway there, so he rushed back.

Grandma Ji said, "I called you here today because I want to fulfill your father's last wish."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaoren and Ji Xiaojun's expressions changed, and then Ji Xiaoren excitedly asked, "Mom, you mean, going public?"

Grandma Ji nodded and said, "Now, our Ji family has taken over the Zhao family's project and secured investment from Tianfeng Group."

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, I think the obstacles to our listing are minimal."

"But before that, I have one more condition."

Ji Xiaoren said directly, "Mom, just tell me your conditions."

Currently, the eldest son's family controls about 30% of the shares in Ji's Beauty Technology, plus the 10% held by Qin Zihao.

Once the company goes public, they only need to bring in a few more shareholders to achieve absolute control.

At that time, the company will be under the control of their eldest son's family, so no matter what the conditions are, Ji Xiaoren will not refuse.

Ji Xiaojun's expression was rather grim, because the second branch of the family only held 16% of the shares.

It's far inferior to the main branch, and the main branch has the support of the Qin family. If the Qin family injects capital, it will dilute the shares.

Then the situation for the second wife will be dangerous, but this will also be their opportunity.

Because Ji Ruoyu currently has a large amount of funds at hand, which could be used to acquire company shares.

Perhaps the second branch of the family would have a chance to compete with the first branch. Thinking of this, Ji Xiaojun naturally did not object.

Grandma Ji said, "I've actually been considering going public for a long time, but the timing wasn't right before."

"But now the time is right, and by going public now, we family members can still control the largest shareholding."

“I don’t want what happened to your second and third uncles to happen again. Only after the company goes public will those shareholders not easily sell their shares.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaoren immediately understood. Clearly, Qin Zihao's secret acquisition of shares had provoked Ji's great-grandmother.

Since their company is not publicly listed, these share transactions can be conducted covertly, but once they go public...

Equity transactions exceeding 5% must be publicly disclosed; otherwise, they violate stock trading laws.

The transaction was deemed illegal and invalid, which was clearly something that the Ji family's great-grandmother had taken into account.

If anyone tries to secretly acquire the Ji family's shares in the future, she will be able to respond immediately.

There will be no repeat of the last incident where Qin Zihao led his men to force the emperor's hand.

The great-grandmother of the Ji family spoke up: "Before the listing, I want to establish a rule with you."

"That is, after listing, all products must not be increased in price, and if the stock trading exceeds one percent, it must be reported to the company in advance."

"The company has the right of first refusal. Only if the company does not acquire the shares can you sell them on the market."

"Otherwise, you will be suspected of engaging in private transactions, and the company has the right to void such transactions and reclaim the shares."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaoren frowned slightly, but still nodded and said, "I agree."

In Ji Xiaoren's view, everything can wait until after the listing; at worst, the rules can be changed after absolute control is achieved.

The great-grandmother of the Ji family spoke again: "Aside from the equity transaction, the formula of Ji's Whitening Cream belongs to me personally. I have authorized Ji's Beauty Technology to use it in my personal capacity, but it is not allowed to be disclosed or spread outside."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaoren's face immediately turned ugly, but Ye Chen had to admit that experience truly matters.

This move to undermine the company's foundation was brilliant. In this way, the Ji family's whitening cream became their private property, and as long as the Ji family's great-grandmother didn't give it to them, no one could take it away from them.
