CHAPTER 505: CHAPTER 505: HER AMBITION IS TO SWALLOW THE ENTIRE JI GROUP!

The door was ajar, and Ji Wei pushed it open with a hand.

As she raised her eyes, she saw a figure sitting in Ji Yunli’s usual leather swivel chair.

Ji Wei’s face lit up with joy, and she blurted out, "Dad! You—"

Before she could finish, the person in the chair suddenly turned around. That seemingly understated and gentle face revealed its true colors—stunning yet cunning.

Ji Wei’s eyes widened in shock.

"Why is it you!"

She stared at Tang Yi, who was sitting on the chair, her mind momentarily frozen.

Tang Yi chuckled softly, seemingly in a good mood, her eyes glinting with hidden resentment as she stared straight at Ji Wei, "Miss Ji, we meet again. Surprised to see me, aren’t you?"

Ji Wei abruptly snapped out of it, quickly striding toward Tang Yi and demanding harshly, "Where’s my father? What did you do to him!"

Hearing that, Tang Yi scoffed, "That’s strange. Your own father’s missing, and you ask me about it."

"This is my dad’s office. Why are you sitting here!" Ji Wei’s chest heaved with fury as she spoke in a simmering anger.

"The Ji Family is suspected of tax evasion and is about to face a court investigation," Tang Yi said, looking at her calmly, "And yet, at this critical moment, Mr. Ji is nowhere to be found. But tax evasion is no small scandal; it wouldn’t sit well with the company’s employees knowing about it. So, I made the decision on his behalf—sending everyone on collective leave."

"You made the decision?" Ji Wei’s eyes narrowed dangerously, and all of a sudden, she reached out, yanking Tang Yi out of the swivel chair forcefully.

Her face was cold and stern as she rebuked, "A mere secretary—when did it become your turn to make decisions for the Ji Family? Even if my father is down, I’m still here! As long as I have breath, don’t think you can run wild in the Ji Family!"

Tang Yi’s face turned pale for a moment.

Looking at the suddenly domineering eldest daughter of the Ji Family, she doubted whether she had misjudged all along.

This wasn’t the first time.

The last time, at the Ji Family mansion, when she tried to seduce Ji Yunli, Ji Wei had similarly stormed in, imposing and unyielding. Her tone and demeanor were wholly transformed, as though she had been reborn, making Tang Yi shudder.

The pampered eldest daughter, spoiled since childhood, had overnight turned intensely sharp—it was too bizarre.

Tang Yi forced herself to steady her nerves, pulling a mocking smile onto her lips to avoid showing fear.

"Miss Ji—or rather, you’re better off being called Miss Nobody. Stop deceiving yourself; there’s not a drop of Ji blood in your veins, and the entire Ji Group will never belong to you!"

If I expose your identity, the entire business circle of Rongcheng will be in an uproar. Do you think the Ji Group’s shareholders will ever accept a woman of unclear origins?

I advise you, Miss Ji, to be sensible. This way, I can ensure you’ll get two percent of Ji Group shares, enough for you to avoid begging on the streets for the rest of your life."

After her failed attempt to seduce and the ensuing scandal, Ji Yunli had planned to fire Tang Yi.

But Tang Yi’s relentless charm offensive, along with repeated tearful pleas for forgiveness, softened Ji Yunli’s heart. After all, Tang Yi had accompanied him for so many years, and there was still some sentiment there.

However, Tang Yi found out that even though she managed to stay, Ji Yunli no longer trusted her.

Many confidential documents were kept out of her reach and directly handed over to another male secretary for safekeeping.

Driven to desperation, Tang Yi finally exploded. After laying low for half a month, she mapped out all the financial flows of the Ji Family and colluded with her own inner circle to tamper with the accounts.

The Ji Family’s alleged tax evasion was her masterpiece.

Now that Ji Yunli completely distrusts her, rather than enduring hardship next to him, clinging to the slim hope of becoming the Ji Family’s matriarch, it would be better to strike first and annex the entire Ji Group!
