"You've always been quite the chatterbox since you were little, hurry up!" Third Elder Jiang San scolded Jiang Minghui with a stern look.

"Yes, sir!"

Jiang Minghui bowed slightly towards Jiang San, then turned to look at Jiang Chen and announced loudly, "Nephew, listen carefully, I don't have many non-family businesses under my name, just two companies: one is Sanxiang Group, and the other is Wucheng Group."

"Sanxiang Group and Wucheng Group?!"

"Are these two groups Head of the Jiang Family's properties?"

"That Wucheng Group is a national top 100 enterprise! The Head of the Jiang Family is impressive. Despite being occupied with managing such a large family business, he still managed to develop such a strong enterprise on his own, which is necessary to participate in the ancestral ritual assessment."

Jiang Minghui's words once again caused a stir of discussion.

"Dad, did Jiang Minghui really not use the Jiang Family's power at all for these two companies? I don't believe it!" Zhang Wenjie whispered to his father.

Zhang Family Head Zhang Chenggang glanced at Zhang Wenjie and replied in a low voice, "Not using the family's power at all is unlikely, but as long as it wasn't done overtly, no one would dwell on it.

Moreover, all families are the same. Individuals can develop their own forces and initially fund them from family resources, as long as they repay the family at an interest rate of 20% per year.

When Wucheng Group was established, if I remember correctly, its registered capital was twenty billion. Where that money came from is anyone's guess!"

"Hmph! He's cheating. Jiang Chen can't get the family's support or access the family's capital!" Meng Yanran said with a look of dissatisfaction.

Head of the Meng Family Meng Chaochen spoke softly, "There's nothing we can do, Jiang Chen really suffered from not being in the family from a young age."

"Dad, can we help Jiang Chen? After all, he saved my life!" Sun Jianshan turned to his father.

Sun Family Head Sun Yucheng slightly furrowed his brows, gave Sun Jianshan a stern look, and scolded in a low voice, "Haven't you created enough trouble for his sake? Keep quiet!"

At this moment, Jiang Minghui's voice once again carried over: "I know my nephew's Yi Chen Group has entered the national top 100 enterprises, but according to the rankings published half a month ago, Yi Chen Group is only ranked ninety-eighth.

In this past half month, as we all know, Yi Chen's strength has probably diminished quite a bit. It's likely going to fall out of the top 100, right?

My Sanxiang Group may not be in the national top 100, but Wucheng Group is, and it's ranked ninety-first!"

After finishing his remarks, Jiang Minghui looked at Jiang Chen smugly.

But then, his brows furrowed.

Because he couldn't see any sign of panic on Jiang Chen's face, who remained calm and composed throughout.

Pretending to be calm, huh!

Jiang Minghui snorted coldly, not taking it seriously.

After waiting a moment and seeing that Jiang Minghui had nothing more to say, Jiang Chen looked at him in surprise, "Is that it?"

Jiang Minghui replied disdainfully, "That's it, now it's your turn."

"Alright, I thought you had more influence of your own. Turns out that's all you have? Well, now it's my turn!"

Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "Since you've mentioned two groups, I'll also talk about two groups. The first one, as you mentioned, is Yi Chen Group. Yi Chen Group was announced as a national top 100 enterprise half a month ago and was ranked ninety-eighth. Although Yi Chen has suffered some losses now, it's still a bit stronger than your Sanxiang Group, right?"

Jiang Minghui narrowed his eyes, neither confirming nor denying. Even if Yi Chen Group had substantial losses, of course, it was still stronger than Sanxiang Group, which was merely a shell company and not established for participating in the ancestral ritual assessment!

"And the other one... I wonder if everyone knows about Jiuzhou Group!" Jiang Chen turned to the crowd of onlookers.

"Jiuzhou Group?!"

"Jiuzhou Group is not only among the national top 50 but also a Fortune Global 500 company. This... can't possibly be Jiang Chen's company, could it?"

"This can't be possible, can it? The Jiuzhou Group has been established for over a decade!"

"Yes, so why is he bringing up Jiuzhou Group?"

Surprised exclamations erupted from the crowd, and a cold look flashed through Jiang Minghui's eyes. A stroke of insight sparked in his mind, and he turned to stare intently at Elder Master Jiang.

Elder Master Jiang watched Jiang Chen with a faint smile, not even glancing at Jiang Minghui.

"It's true that Jiuzhou Group was established over a decade ago, but half a year ago, it fell into my hands and became my property," Jiang Chen said with a light chuckle.

"Is Jiuzhou Group really his?"

"This, this, this... How could this be possible? How could the previous helmsman of Jiuzhou Group hand over the company to him?"

"How did he take control of it? Does he have something special?"

"This is simply inconceivable! How on earth did the transfer of a Fortune 500 corporation happen so secretly?"

The onlookers were dumbfounded; they couldn't comprehend what virtues or abilities Jiang Chen possessed that would lead the chairman of a Fortune 500 company to willingly hand over his corporation.

Meanwhile, some astute individuals in the crowd began to glance towards Elder Master Jiang, harboring a guess in their hearts, yet they couldn't confirm it on the spot.

Jiang Minghui, with a darkening expression, said, "What proof do you have?"

"Proof? Ha!" Jiang Chen laughed mockingly. "The properties are to be investigated clearly within three days of the ancestral rites. Your rush for me to show proof... What? Can't the Head of the Jiang Family accept a loss?"

"You..."

Jiang Minghui's face grew darker. He was somewhat unwilling to accept it; he had an idea about Jiuzhou Group, but could it really be that Elder Master Jiang managed to establish a Fortune 500 corporation without anyone noticing?

"No matter, if you want proof, then I'll give you proof."

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, glanced over the crowd and settled his gaze on the face of Sun Yucheng, the Family Head of the Sun Family: "Head Sun, as far as I'm aware, your family is currently cooperating with my Jiuzhou Group on a major project. You must have met Jiuzhou Group's president, Lin Yue, in person, right?"

"I have," Sun Yucheng nodded lightly.

"Jing Yi, bring Lin Yue and the others over," Jiang Chen called out.

Among the onlookers, several young women stepped forward and came to Jiang Chen's side, including Ye Jingyi, Gong Lin, Ye Yuwan, Leng Ye, Su Mei, Chen Feng, and Lin Yue!

"Lin Lin? You're here?" Gong Jianqiang exclaimed with joy upon seeing Gong Lin.

"Dad," Gong Lin called out with a smile, while Ye Jingyi and Ye Yuwan felt slightly embarrassed.

"Chairman."

Lin Yue bowed to Jiang Chen, calling him Chairman full of sincerity.

Hearing this title of Chairman, everyone was taken aback.

For they could tell that Lin Yue's address was genuinely heartfelt, with not a trace of pretense.

The truth of it was what shocked them further.

After all, Lin Yue was considered one of the most powerful businesswomen in the country, known as the Queen of the Business World, and revered by countless people.

Yet such a person was respectfully acknowledging Jiang Chen as her superior?

Why, why on earth was this the case?
