CHAPTER 424: CHAPTER 423: WORKAHOLICS REALLY ARE AWESOME!!! (PART 2)

Yun Ran’s eyes froze slightly: "Wang Qianyu approached you?"

"Yes, probably by the time I made the call to cut losses, they had already gotten the news. Truly worthy of being one of the Capital City’s Four Great Families, the Wang Family; their intelligence is terrifyingly quick."

What Yun Jinyang didn’t say was that the matriarch of the Wang Family probably also knew about this event, and if he didn’t engage either side...

Perhaps that old lady would at most just disapprove of him, yet won’t lower herself to deal with him.

Though the Yun Family is wealthy and listed in the billionaire rankings, in the eyes of these true aristocratic families, the Yun Family is no more than ants.

But now, a call from the ninth young master of the Wang Family had come through, Yun Jinyang had to think more about it.

"Are you suspecting that Wang Qianyu wants to take the Yun Family on board?"

Yun Jinyang nodded: "The people who come from these aristocratic families each have a mind full of schemes. It’s always people like us, the ants, who go seeking them. When do they ever actively extend an olive branch?

Perhaps the one they truly want to bring on board is you. The Yun Family is merely an appendage, a small pawn to balance against you."

Watching Yun Family’s eldest son, who carries himself with poise in Hai City, speak without confidence in Capital City, with self-deprecating humor, he even had to prepend ’little’ to the word ’pawn’.

Yun Ran truly understood at this moment the barrier between the affluent class and the truly powerful aristocratic families.

"What do you think?"

Yun Ran is not a direct bloodline of the Yun Family, but the Yun Family indeed raised the original host.

Although they didn’t pay much attention to her, even could be said to have gone with the flow while watching Qu Ying trample on the original host’s aloof persona.

Yet still, the Yun Family never mistreated the original host; her living conditions and allowance weren’t discriminated against. It was only after Qu Ying’s psychological manipulation that the original host voluntarily handed over her pocket money.

In her attitude towards the Yun Family, Yun Ran pursued mutual benefit because, after all, her registration was still on the Yun Family’s register.

She didn’t want to directly involve herself in the Yukn Family’s future decisions so as to avoid any unclear matters arising in the future.

However, considering Yun Jinyang was a smart person and a decent partner for collaboration.

If Yun Jinyang wanted to take risks, she would assist fully, but if Yun Jinyang wanted to be cautious, she could also ensure that the Yun Family could retreat intact.

Upon hearing Yun Ran’s question, Yun Jinyang’s expression turned a little proud, also somewhat wistful.

He had never imagined that the word ’understanding’ would ever fit between him and his stepsister, Yun Ran.

Luckily, Yun Jinyang wasn’t a melodramatic person. He pulled up a spreadsheet on the tablet and handed it over to Yun Ran.

"This is the recently made data analysis chart. If we continue cooperating with the Wang Family, the Yun Family’s profits for the upcoming few years could multiply several times over.

If things go smoothly, the title of Hai City’s richest man could fall to the Yun Family in no time.

Since Hai City’s richest, the Jing Family, has been suppressed to downfall, many aristocratic families in Capital City have been seeking a suitable representative to secure this position..."

Yun Ran understood that although these powerful aristocratic families look down upon the affluent class, they need these people to be pawns in leading a region’s economy and resources.

Just like the former richest man of Hai City, the Jing Family, and Zhao Family of Huannan, all have aristocratic families backing them.

But Yun Ran had witnessed within half a year how two seemingly prosperous richest family empires fell to ruin by the command of the aristocratic heads.

"Do you want to become the representative for those aristocratic families?"

By saying a representative, it’s really a pawn. Without caution, one could be controlled and become a puppet without a say.

Yun Jinyang shook his head. He was ambitious. How could he be willing to become a puppet of the aristocrats, with his life and death dictated by their whims?

"Then you intend to...?"

"In ancient times, there were those who excelled alongside dragons. Nowadays, there’s mutual benefit. If your side holds a bigger chance, perhaps there’s another path to take."

If someone else had said this to Yun Ran, she might have thought that person arrogant.

But with Yun Jinyang saying it, she felt hopeful.

Therefore, she straightforwardly said, "My side has a 90% chance, it should have been 100%, but we must account for the factor that Wang Mian is a person who seeks fame and fortune."

Yun Jinyang initially thought having a half chance was good enough, never expecting it to be as high as 90%.

Nonetheless, Yun Ran’s concerns weren’t baseless. He himself has interacted with quite a few aristocratic members and seen many, who although wear a warm expression are truly aloof and proud.

"Alright, I got it. I’ll have someone add in all the risk factors now."

Saying this, Yun Jinyang hurriedly went into his study, intending to start a video conference with his confidants.

Yun Ran: ...

A workaholic really is something else!!!

If only she had been this dedicated, she wouldn’t have been chased down by her master and uncles.

Just as Yun Ran planned to go relax in the hot spring, she suddenly frowned slightly.

Her tone full of disbelief: "Recovered so quickly?"

"Host, what’s wrong?"

Ginsengfruit, holding a small swimming ring, looked in doubt at Yun Ran, who had stopped and was talking to herself.

"Wang Mian’s vitality has been restored!"

"What? So fast? Did he absorb celestial energy!!!!"

Although he was waiting outside the garden at the time, being soul-bound with Yun Ran, he knew how weakened Wang Mian’s condition was.

Even with the Vitality Talisman from the host, it wasn’t possible to recover so quickly, surely it would take three to five days, right?

"Heading to Wang Family Mansion now!"

This recovery in vitality was too rapid, and Yun Ran hadn’t even sensed anything amiss until the vitality was almost full.

There must be something else at play here; she’d bet her head on it.

Yun Ran immediately took out her phone and called Wang Qianyu.

On the other end, Wang Qianyu stared at Yun Ran’s call, never expecting it to be about his Third Uncle’s situation.

He thought Yun Ran was calling because he contacted Yun Jinyang today and suddenly felt a guilty conscience.

Who would have guessed he genuinely had his own small calculations.

But he couldn’t hang up this call and had no choice but to answer it.

Yun Ran’s voice came through coldly: "Come pick me at the X hotel immediately; there’s a change in Third Young Master Wang’s condition."

Hearing this, Wang Qianyu’s initially nervous expression turned grim.

"Alright, I’m on my way!"

Exiting, he thought furiously: Did something go wrong at the garden? Damn it, if he finds out who the traitor is, he’d flay them alive!
