Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 104: How he squanders his property is none of my business

Chapter 104: Chapter 104: How he squanders his property is none of my business

Ji Rui didn’t understand why he suddenly brought this up; he was just a bit curious about Le Tong. Since Yang Sheng and Le Tong had a good relationship, the information Yang Sheng provided about Le Tong should be the most accurate and closest to the correct answer.

"Of course not! But those are just my guesses, she never mentioned these things to me."

What Yang Sheng said was true. Le Tong rarely discussed such deep issues with Yang Sheng. However, many times, they only needed a glance to understand each other’s thoughts, perhaps because they shared a lot in common.

"Oh..." Ji Rui picked up the wine, sipping it thoughtfully.

"Are you planning to transfer Tongtong to another department?"

Besides this possibility, Yang Sheng couldn’t figure out the purpose behind Ji Rui’s question.

"No!"

Ji Rui never considered transferring her to another department, but after asking such a question, he thought about giving Le Tong some targeted guidance according to her strengths in the future.

Before Yang Sheng mentioned that Le Tong’s ambition wasn’t just to be a small secretary, Ji Rui only thought of Le Tong as a very dedicated and responsible secretary.

After Yang Sheng mentioned it, Ji Rui carefully reviewed the materials and documents handled by Le Tong, realizing that many difficult problems had far exceeded what a secretary could handle, yet Le Tong managed every file, including many details, perfectly.

One could only say that if it wasn’t natural talent, she must have spent a lot of time and energy on it, no wonder she worked overtime with him for the better half of the year. He had thought then, her work efficiency was really low; luckily, she understood the principle that diligence can make up for the lack of aptitude.

Now it seems, she wasn’t using diligence to make up for inadequacy, but to complete work beyond her secretarial duties.

Seeing Ji Rui seemed unwilling to talk deeply, Yang Sheng didn’t inquire anymore.

The two silently drank wine for a while, and Yang Sheng suddenly remembered the promise he made to Ji Baby when they went for a buffet recently.

"Rui, by the way, do you have a companion lately?"

Yang Sheng was indeed curious about Ji Rui’s love life, but if not for the promise to Ji Baby, he would never be so abrupt in probing Ji Rui’s privacy.

Ji Rui, with the wine glass pressed to his lips and ready to drink, heard the question and looked at him with confusion. "Huh?!"

From his puzzled eyes, it was clear Yang Sheng’s question baffled him.

"That old lady, isn’t actually an old lady, but a pretty woman, right?"

Determined to fulfill the mission, Yang Sheng just spat it out.

Ji Rui’s eyes flashed with surprise and then wariness surfaced.

"Who says that? Where’s this pretty woman?"

Even now, Ji Rui did not want Yang Sheng to know that, apart from being beautiful and capable, Le Tong was also skilled at home.

Yang Sheng leaned in, carefully observing his expression.

"Really not?"

Ji Rui gently swirled his glass, looking calmly at Yang Sheng. "Where did you hear such nonsense? Isn’t it boring?!"

Yang Sheng saw no clues, and he just grinned, admitting this probe was a failure.

"If you’re willing to tell me the truth, it wouldn’t be boring. If you’re not, then it’s really quite dull!"

Ji Rui sat motionless, tilted his head back, and drank up his wine.

"Baobao’s six percent shares, they haven’t slipped out, right?!"

As for Yang Sheng’s handling of matters, Ji Rui had complete trust. This was merely a diversionary tactic.

"Rest assured, such things can’t trouble me! But over in Y Country, I’m a bit worried the old chairman’s investment might go to waste."

Ji Rui didn’t care much, "Then let it be for nothing; anyway, his fortune was meant to be squandered by those two darling sons of his!"

Yang Sheng poured more wine for Ji Rui, "Sigh, it seems he doesn’t realize that the more he behaves like this, the more Second Young Master Ji and Ji the Third Young Master will go overboard in squandering family resources."

"That’s his problem! As long as it doesn’t harm Ji Family, how he squanders his property is none of my business!"

Ji Rui spoke with the indifference of an outsider, as if forgetting that he was entitled to a third of the old man’s wealth.

Or rather, he didn’t forget. After being completely heartbroken by the old man, those assets had become insignificant.

Ji Rui cared a lot about Ji Group. Everyone thought he was in it for the money.

But only Ji Rui knew he cared about the existence of the Ji Group itself.

Several decades ago, Ji Group didn’t exist.

Back then, there was a very influential enterprise domestically, called Glory Group.

The owner of Glory Group only had one daughter, and when she was eighteen, both her parents died in a car accident, passing the company solely to her.

At the age of twenty-two, the female chairman married a minor employee from the Glory Group with the surname Ji.

Six years later, she died unexpectedly, leaving behind a child who wasn’t even five.

Less than a month after her passing, Glory Group was officially renamed Ji Group.

To Ji Rui, Ji Group wasn’t truly Ji Group, but an item his mother left him.

He wanted his mother’s group to flourish in his hands!

He couldn’t tolerate those who indirectly caused his mother’s tragic death to tarnish Ji Group!

Indeed, over these past twenty years, Mr. Ji had indeed made Ji Group stronger and more prosperous, but this could not conceal the fact that he had taken over by force!

In these two decades, people outside had basically forgotten the once exceedingly glorious Glory Group and only knew that Mr. Ji managed Ji Group with great success. People respectfully called him Mr. Ji, yet no one remembered that he was originally just an unknown little employee!

These matters, Ji Rui didn’t know if Yang Sheng was aware of them, but even if Yang Sheng wasn’t, Ji Rui had no intention of telling.

He had gotten used to hiding all the pain and injustice in his heart.

Actually, in the process of reclaiming Ji Group, he had struggled.

During the days he traveled with Baobao, Ji Rui thought, if only Mr. Ji had taken him out to have fun happily around his fifth birthday, his subsequent life might have been different.

Yes, he wasn’t born cold-hearted. The situation with Mr. Ji today wasn’t just because the old man betrayed his mother too much, but also because he repeatedly crushed the heart of a son.

Yang Sheng silently patted his shoulder, seeming to understand his thoughts even without words.

"Today, Le Tong made me a pot of coffee. At that moment, do you know what I was thinking?"

Perhaps it was due to recalling too many unpleasant past events, Ji Rui unexpectedly felt a desire to confide today. He couldn’t mention those past events related to his mother, so he decided to chat with Yang Sheng about his feelings while having that fragrant hot coffee.
