Although she had already predicted that Xia Zhengguang would most likely resort to selling his shares, she hadn’t expected it to happen so soon.
--L: Yes, we just received it today. It’s a shame it’s only 5%.
That, plus the 21% they already had, only brought them to 26%. To gain a controlling stake, they would still have to go after some of the Xia Group’s smaller shareholders.
Get 10% here, 8% there, and buy it all up. Eventually, they’d reach 51%.
--Qingqing Zijing: No problem, this is already great. Mei Lin is already in contact with the other small shareholders of the Xia Group.
It was just that her efforts hadn’t borne any fruit yet.
Lu Yunque raised an eyebrow when he saw Yun Zijin’s message.
’That Mei Lin... quite a few companies have tried to poach her, but she turned them all down.’
Sometimes, Lu Yunque really wanted to know just where his Yun Zi found such talented people.
It wasn’t just Mei Lin, but also the seven bodyguards from Zero One.
--Qingqing Zijing: I’m in class right now, so I can’t chat. I’ll come find you after it’s over!
After sending that message, Yun Zijin went silent.
Lu Yunque stopped staring at his phone and went back to work.

「Dijing University.」
Xia Zhiyun dropped Xia Jiajiao off at the entrance to Dijing University and drove away, with no intention of taking her to her dorm.
Xia Zhiyun’s foul mood was obvious, so while Xia Jiajiao wanted to complain, she swallowed her words.
Sometimes, knowing when to pick your battles was a survival skill.
"I’ll come back to pick you up tonight."
"Bye, Brother."
As soon as Xia Jiajiao spoke, Xia Zhiyun drove off without a moment’s hesitation.
By the time Xia Jiajiao arrived at Dijing University, classes were in session, so there weren’t many people walking around campus.
Xia Jiajiao was pampered and didn’t want to walk, but she didn’t want to take the campus shuttle either.
Especially since she was wearing stilettos, her feet started to ache after just a short walk.
She was so focused on walking that she didn’t even notice when classes let out.
Yun Zijin hadn’t expected to run into a limping Xia Jiajiao, teetering on her stilettos, right as she was leaving the academic building after class.
But the moment Xia Jiajiao saw Yun Zijin, she remembered that Yun Zijin was the one who had gotten Zhang Yiqin locked up. There was no telling when her mother would get out, and a fire of rage ignited within her.
"Yun Zijin!"
Yun Zijin shot Xia Jiajiao a look. "Yeah, I hear you. My ears aren’t broken."
Yun Zijin didn’t have to guess why Xia Jiajiao was so furious to see her.
"How could you do that to Mom? She..."
"She’s *your* mother, not mine. Am I wrong?"
Yun Zijin looked at Xia Jiajiao with a smirk.
’Does she really think my lawyer, Tang Yu, wouldn’t know something that even Xia Zhengguang is aware of?’
"You..."
Xia Jiajiao wanted to say more, but she quickly noticed that people around them were staring.
She didn’t want anyone to know she was the illegitimate daughter of her mother’s affair, so she could only bite her tongue, terrified that Yun Zijin would expose her right then and there.
"Don’t get too cocky. You and I are the same!"
’She’s an illegitimate daughter, but isn’t Yun Zijin one too!’
Right now, they were six of one and half a dozen of the other. Neither of them was in a position to mock the other.
"We’re not the same at all. You have to rely on the Xia family to get by. I don’t."
Yun Zijin figured Xia Jiajiao probably still hadn’t fully grasped the difference between them.
"Hmph!"
