Chapter 348: The Condition For Cooperation
She narrowed her eyes slightly. “Is that so?”
She had long guessed that Yin Jiujin would definitely not sit back and do nothing. He would use his methods to avenge her, but she didn’t expect him to do it so quickly.
Seeing that she was interested, Bo Lang continued, “However, the Jones Family is an old family in Country Y after all. Recently, they have even gotten out of the Bruce Family’s suppression and even suppressed the Bruce Family to become the number one family in Country Y.”
“Although the suppression of the Empire Group’s branch in Country Y has affected the Jones Family a little, the Empire Group’s losses are even more serious than the Jones Family’s. It will probably be very difficult for the Empire Group to continue developing in Country Y in the future.”
“If we achieve a collaboration, the Jones Family will support the Empire Group to expand the market in Country Y in the future. As for the domestic market, the businesses that the Bo Family is involved in will also prioritize cooperating with the Empire Group. Of course, with the Empire Group’s status in the country, the Bo Family has the advantage by cooperating with the Empire Group.”
“The Bo Family still has some status in Water City and has some businesses that the Empire Group is not involved in, so there will always be something that we can help the Empire Group with.”
It was already very obvious.
If Bo Lang said anything else, Yan Jinyu might not be interested. However, he said that the Jones Family would support the Empire Group to expand the market in Country Y.
She wasn’t very clear about the business world, but she also knew that Yin Jiujin would undoubtedly suffer greatly by using the Empire Group’s branch in Country Y to fight the Jones Family.
“Young Master Bo is quite ambitious.” He actually wanted to snatch the Jones Family from Lind Jones.
“After fighting with the Bruce Family for so many years, the Jones Family has never been destroyed. It’s obvious that its foundation is not easy to destroy.”
“Since I can’t destroy it, I’ll snatch it away and make it my own.”
“This matter isn’t actually that difficult. I’m the second-in-line heir of the Jones Family. As long as that person dies, the Jones Family will naturally be mine.”
“Eldest Miss Yan is going to deal with that person. With us as support, there will only be pros and no cons.”
“From the sound of it, I seem to have taken advantage of you.” Yan Jinyu smiled faintly. “Young Master Bo already said that businessmen prioritize their interests. Do you have other conditions?”
“As expected of Eldest Miss Yan.”
“There’s indeed another condition. Of course, we took the initiative to cooperate with Eldest Miss Yan. Logically speaking, we’re not qualified to make any conditions. Hence, rather than saying that it’s a condition, it’s more like my request.”
Yan Jinyu raised her eyebrows slightly.
Bo Lang was really good with words.
With her temper, she really didn’t like others to talk to her arrogantly from the beginning. Even if she didn’t cooperate with them, she could still deal with Jones.
As for the Empire Group’s expansion of Country Y’s market, there were many ways. It didn’t have to rely on the Jones Family’s full support. It would simply take some extra effort.
After all, she was old friends with the Bruce Family.
Now that the Bruce Family was in trouble internally and externally, if she helped them slightly and even used the condition of helping Old Bruce take revenge, the Bruce Family could also help her achieve her goal.
However, there didn’t seem to be any particularly outstanding heir in the Bruce Family now. Even if she interfered, the Bruce Family probably wouldn’t go far.
Besides, it would take a lot of effort to do that.
Troublesome.
“Tell me about it.”
“Before that person is resolved, I hope Miss Yan can take care of the Bo Family and not give the Jones Family a chance to attack the Bo Family.”
Tan Shiyun clenched her fists slightly.
She knew that Bo Lang didn’t want the power of the Jones Family at all. He had done all this to protect the Bo Family.
“I know. Even without Master Nine’s help, it’s not difficult for you to protect the Bo Family.”
Yan Jinyu didn’t comment.
Just because she didn’t interfere in the business world didn’t mean that she wouldn’t.
She could even destroy Ghost Slaughter Island. As long as she wanted to, there was really nothing she couldn’t do.
“It sounds like a good cooperation, but your so-called full support for the Empire Group to expand the market in Country Y after seizing the Jones Family is just empty words. Who knows how far your so-called full support will go after this.”
“Eldest Miss Yan, just state your conditions.”
“After this is done, I want 10% of the shares in all the businesses under the Jones Family.”
An old family had countless businesses. 10% was not a small sum.
At that time, even if Bo Lang didn’t fulfill his promise and supported the Empire Group to expand the market, with the Jones Family’s 10% shares, Yan Jinyu would still have a certain say in Country Y.
Bo Lang fell silent.
Obviously, he knew very well what that 10% share meant.
Yan Jinyu said indifferently, “Of course, you can choose not to agree. Anyway, I won’t lose anything. You’re the ones who are anxious to cooperate, not me.”
Bo Lang glanced at Tan Shiyun and said, “Alright, I agree!”
Tan Shiyun moved her lips to say something, but in the end, she didn’t say anything.
Yan Jinyu smiled. “Then, I wish us a happy cooperation.” After saying that, she put on her earphones and watched television.
“…” Bo Lang and Tan Shiyun.
“…” The others who heard their conversation.
Yes, although their conversation was soft, it could not withstand the silence in the classroom. Hence, the people at the surrounding tables more or less heard their conversation.
Among them, Tan Shiyun’s deskmate, Chen Yingying, and Feng Yuan and Xu Gui, who were nearby, heard the most clearly.
Chen Yingying pretended not to hear anything and continued to read her book quietly.
Feng Yuan and Xu Gui, especially Feng Yuan, who had heard their conversation word for word, only knew how shocked he was now.
He had heard of the Jones Family in Country Y.
So Jinyu’s enemy was related to the Jones Family.
Bo Lang was actually the second-in-line heir of the Jones Family? Wasn’t he the heir of the Bo Family? Also, why did Bo Lang seem to be in cahoots with Tan Shiyun?
There were too many questions.
However, he knew very well that it was not appropriate for him to ask further.
Even if she asked, Jinyu might not say anything.
However, no matter what, he was certain that Jinyu was not ordinary.
Bo Lang actually said that even without Master Nine’s help, she could still protect the Bo Family under the Jones Family. How could an ordinary person do that?
Feng Yuan’s thoughts were interrupted.
The teacher was here.
It was the English teacher, Hu Chengcheng.
“Class, put down what you’re doing first. I have something to say.” She even glanced in Yan Jinyu’s direction.
She thought to herself. My girl is so considerate. She scored zero for all her subjects, but she passed my English.
It did not matter if her other subjects had zero marks or just passable marks.
At least, before today, it was not that important to her.
She was happy for her girl’s thoughtfulness.
But after today…
Hu Chengcheng was only a Year Three teacher-in-charge and not the form teacher. Hence, she did not participate in the students’ collective trip this time. Naturally, she did not know what had happened.
This morning, she was suddenly called to the office by the dean. He said that Teacher Xiao Qun had resigned and asked her to take over the position of the form teacher of Year 3 Class (1). He would take care of them for the last two months until the end of the college entrance examination.
She was still in a daze.
Yan Jinyu removed her earphones.
“Your form teacher, Teacher Xiao, has resigned for personal reasons. In the next two months before the college entrance examination, I will take over his position to lead your class.”
After Hu Chengcheng finished speaking, she thought that someone would ask why Xiao Qun had suddenly resigned. Unexpectedly, after two minutes, no one said anything. This surprised her very much.
Why did it seem like everyone already knew?
Also, why were all these students looking so strange?
Yan Jinyun fell silent.
Yan Jinyu said that she would know who her enemy was when she came to school. There was no one else missing in the class except for the form teacher.
So Yan Jinyu’s enemy was actually Teacher Xiao!
This was completely unexpected.
Teacher Xiao went to Boyu High School to teach when she was promoted to high school. The moment he entered school, he had taught her class. Teacher Xiao studied overseas and was an outstanding returnee.
Three years. Could it be that Teacher Xiao came for Yan Jinyu at that time?
He didn’t hesitate to plan for three years just to deal with Yan Jinyu?
How much hatred did they have?
How afraid was he of Yan Jinyu?
If Yan Jinyu didn’t have any ability and only grew up in an orphanage in a small town like what they had found out at the beginning, she would probably fall into the hands of the other party the moment she came back!
She felt a lingering fear just thinking about it.
However, Yan Jinyun had never thought that if Yan Jinyu was a simple Yan Jinyu, how could she have provoked such an enemy?
“In that case, we’ll have to trouble Teacher Hu to guide our class in the future.” As the class monitor, Tan Shiyun stood up and spoke on behalf of the entire class.
Hu Chengcheng nodded at her. “There isn’t any trouble. I only hope that you can get an ideal result for the college entrance examination.”
“I’ve been teaching your class English for three years now. We’re very familiar with each other. It’s only been two months. I hope everyone will cooperate actively. I don’t want anyone to cause trouble for me at the last minute.”
“On the other hand, you guys don’t seem to be surprised that Teacher Xiao has resigned and wants to change the form teacher. Did you already know?”
Then, the expressions of the class became even stranger.
Someone carefully glanced in Yan Jinyu’s direction, but they quickly retracted their gazes in fear.
They didn’t even dare to look at her.
Hu Chengcheng thought that they were looking at Tan Shiyun because they wanted her to answer.
Tan Shiyun’s expression remained unchanged. “It’s like this. This time, the Year Three students all went on a vacation. Teacher Xiao mentioned it to us at the farm, so we weren’t surprised.”
“I see. I knew it. You’re all so calm.”
“Speaking of this trip, I heard that it ended early. Did something happen?” She was asking Tan Shiyun.
“Three students in Class (8) had an accident, so the dean ended the trip early. As for what happened, we don’t know very well. We heard from the dean that the three of them were sent to the hospital.”
Everyone looked at Tan Shiyun in a different light.
She was lying through her teeth without even blinking.
She was indeed someone who had interfered that night.
It was similar to what the dean said.
When the dean called her to the office to instruct her to take over as the class’s form teacher, she asked the dean about why the vacation ended early.
The dean said that the three girls in Class (8) had an accident too.
The dean didn’t say the exact details, but his words still hinted to her that Master Nine had settled Feng Yan because she offended Yan Jinyu.
It was no secret that Feng Yan and Yan Jinyu had a conflict. There were even videos on the school forum.
Hu Chengcheng didn’t have much doubts about this. Now that she heard Tan Shiyun say this, she was even more convinced.
“I see.”
“That’s it for now. You guys continue your self-study.”
“By the way, your class seems to have a mock test. The form teacher will invite the last three students in the class to the office to talk. I heard that your Teacher Xiao invited you to the office on Friday. Then, I won’t invite you to the office. However, as your form teacher for the next two months, I still have to understand the exact situation.”
“Now, Luo Yikun, Yan Jinyu, and Wang Zhi, follow me outside to talk.”
