"It's a good thing that you have confidence, then I'll feel relieved."
"It's just that such an important competition is related to the future prosperity of my Jia family, so I can't help but feel a little worried."
In the previous bet for the first round of auditions, Jia Baiyuan insisted on the agency rights of the Nanning Jade Chamber of Commerce. In fact, he had already broken up with the Shen family.
If the most critical second round, the president of the Jade Association, cannot be won and the Shen family takes over again, then what awaits behind will be endless revenge from the Shen family.
Thinking of this, Jia Baiyuan's palms couldn't help but tighten a little more.
"well."
"It's hard to be the leader..."
Meng Yan looked at Jia Baiyuan's reaction and turned away without saying anything else.
Based on Jia Baiyuan's character, this little thing is not enough to overwhelm him. Now it is better for him to close his eyes and relax, save some energy, and wait quietly for a while for the rough stone to be brought up.
Meng Yan took a few more glances at this outrageously arrogant venue, then calmed down and gathered his energy to prepare for the next competition.
After a while, Meng Yan suddenly noticed a few eyes constantly turning towards him intentionally or unintentionally.
He couldn't help but look around, and finally his eyes fell on the other side of the venue, the Shen family.
At this moment, they were looking at themselves intentionally or unintentionally.
Feeling the unkind gaze of the Shen family, Meng Yan couldn't help but feel stunned.
Why are these people looking at me like this? Could it be that Shen Jingshi exaggerated the incident with Meng Yan in front of his own people?
"You are really petty, and the eldest son of a big family like the Shen family is the one who is at fault." Meng Yan shook his head inwardly, simply closed his eyes to calm down and stopped paying attention to these things.
The Shen family on the other side.
"It seems that Master Mian Hui's judgment is correct. This Meng Yan is most likely the helper Jia Baiyuan hired." Shen Tianyu touched his chin and expressed his conclusion.
Shen Jingshi nodded when he heard this: "In one week, as long as Jia Baiyuan is willing, he can make a phone call to Kyoto, and a group of professional Jia family secretaries will immediately fly to Sioux City to handle some trivial matters for him.
"
"But he didn't do this. In the second competition, he still brought Meng Yan, a secretary recruited temporarily from Lake City, with him. This explains the problem."
Shen Jinshi changed from his domineering behavior outside. At this moment, he looked shrewd and cautious.
With the pressure from his father, he felt that he could not repeat the same mistakes as in the first stage audition.
Whether it is for his own sake or for the long-term interests of the Shen family, this Meng Yan must step down today.
After Shen Jingshi's analysis, Shen Tianyu didn't say anything. He just sat in his seat with his eyes closed and focused on himself, as if he was planning something.
"Tang Yuyan, how is your investigation of Meng Yan's background going?"
After hearing this, the beautiful secretary who had been sitting next to Shen Tianyu stood up and bowed slightly to several people.
"I have investigated all his information through our Shen family's intelligence network."
"Before he became the secretary of the head of the Jia family, he was just a live-in son-in-law of a family named Zhu in Hu City. His job in Hu City could only support the family."
"Furthermore, the Zhu family is only in the upper middle class in terms of wealth and status in Lake City. Except for Zhu Jingyi, the person in charge of the Zhu family, who likes to gamble on stones, the rest of the family knows nothing about gambling on stones."
"And this Zhu Jingyi himself only knows some three-legged cat skills when it comes to gambling on stones. He has no real ability."
"This Meng Yan has a daughter named Duo'er, who suffered from leukemia a year ago. Meng Yan spent all his wealth on it, and his house was sold to treat his daughter's illness, but he still couldn't fill the hole. And because of this incident, I had a quarrel with the Zhu family, and was eventually kicked out by the Zhu family."
"Pfft." Hearing this, Shen Jingshi burst into laughter.
"I thought that this so-called expert hired by Jia Baiyuan was an immortal? I'm still wondering how big his background is."
"The result is that he is just a useless son-in-law who worked hard to pay for his daughter's medical expenses and relied on his wife's family to make a living. In the end, he was kicked out!"
A cold glint flashed in the female secretary's eyes, but she soon regained her composure.
"But just about a month ago, a rough stone shop owner suddenly offered Meng Yan a high price and a monthly salary of one million to be his treasure appraiser."
"From then on, Meng Yan's situation began to slowly improve, and finally he even broke away from his dependence on the Zhu family. It was also at this time that the head of the Jia family found him."
"And according to our investigation, this Meng Yan seems to be..."
The secretary lowered his body slightly and his voice became smaller.
"This Meng Yan seems to have some connections with the Wang family."
"Wang family? People from the Wang family are also involved?" Hearing this, Shen Tianyu was slightly shocked.
If the Wang family also gets involved, then this matter will be a bit tricky.
If the Wang family and the Jia family want to unite to protect this person named Meng Yan, even with the power of the Shen family, they will have to be wary of three points, and there is no way to get rid of this unstable factor at will.
Thinking of this, Shen Tianyu couldn't help but cast his eyes towards the Jia family again.
He is twenty years old, has a delicate face, is thin, looks like a mess, and has no special temperament about him.
To say that he is a genius at identifying stones is not convincing at all.
"Let's go and see." Shen Tianyu's words were always spoken to others, as well as to himself.
"Regardless of whether he is a helper hired by the Jia family, no matter what, we must do our best in this election for the president of the association."
"If our Shen family is re-elected as the president of the association this time, within a year, the Jia family will exist in name only."
Shen Jingshi nodded: "Understood."
After saying that, Shen Tianyu sat in his seat, closed his eyes and rested, waiting for the official start of the presidential election.
Ten minutes later, the crystal lanterns in the entire hall were turned off, and the big lights on the booth in front of the venue were turned on.
Dozens of staff entered the venue and closed the door behind the venue to prevent stray people from entering and exiting.
Since this is an internal presidential election among the four major families and will not be made public, many unnecessary performance items, such as opening music and lengthy welcome speeches, have been omitted.
After the host casually said a few words and announced that the presidential election would continue, thirty staff members each pushed a small booth from behind the scenes to the stage.
