Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 585 - 584 Public Identity (Part 1)

The press conference for the partnership between Ji Group and Yang Group is scheduled for half a month later.

At the press conference, during a group interview with reporters, the Old Master, who is the Chairman of Yang Group, couldn’t help but leak to the media that the Old Yang Family is about to celebrate a major happy event soon.

Journalists and the present high-society ladies turned their attention to Yang Sheng. Previously, these reporters and ladies would mostly focus on Ji Rui by Yang Sheng’s side, never realizing that Yang Sheng’s family background was no less impressive than Ji Rui’s.

As for Ji Rui, the eligible bachelor, although there hasn’t been any news of engagement, he had frequently been appearing publicly with the mother of his child for several months, and Ji Rui had consistently shown an attitude of determination to marry her. Those young ladies who were previously fixated on Ji Rui had no choice but to shift their attention to Yang Sheng.

Of course, Yang Sheng, who was once just Ji Group’s special assistant, already attracted many outstanding women. Now, he has become the figurehead of Yang Group, with his status skyrocketing like a rocket into space.

Those socialite ladies who previously overlooked Yang Sheng are now full of regret, blaming themselves for not seeing his potential earlier and extending a hand of love when he was down.

Now, this man has become highly valuable overnight, turning into a coveted prize that countless beauties are vying for, and the chances of winning his favor have dramatically decreased from previous odds to fractions of a percent.

"Chairman Yang, is it true that President Yang’s happy event is near?" A bold reporter extended a microphone forward.

Since this question wasn’t directed at him, Yang Sheng pretended not to hear. Meanwhile, the Old Master smiled at Le Tong, seated next to him.

"Of course not, it’s because my Old Yang Family is about to marry off a granddaughter."

The fact that Le Tong is Yang Family’s granddaughter is known only to the Ji Family and Yang Family. Not even Le Tong’s good friend Luo Yuanyuan is aware of it, so the media and the guests present are even less likely to know.

The Yang Family is a prominent household in Beijing and across the country. Therefore, apart from the low-profile Yang Sheng, all other children acknowledged by the Old Master are quite famous in high society. Of course, this fame often comes from lavish spending and being prodigal.

So, most of the guests know that all recognized granddaughters of the Old Master have been married off. Another granddaughter, who isn’t recognized but not particularly disliked by the Old Master, is the second son’s youngest daughter, Yang Jing, but that little girl is only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Everyone present, except for those sitting on the podium and the Yang Family members, was puzzled.

The reporters exchanged looks for quite a while before the reporter who asked the previous question bravely posed another question.

"Chairman Yang, are you referring to Miss Yang Jing as the granddaughter?"

The Old Master, in a good mood, didn’t show any dissatisfaction in response to such an abrupt question, instead merrily shaking his head, "It’s not Xiao Jing, it’s another granddaughter."

After saying this, he leaned closer to Le Tong and whispered, "Girl, what can you do? Grandpa couldn’t hold it in."

Le Tong silently scorned the Old Master in her heart. What happened to respecting her? What happened to listening to her completely?

Having grown accustomed to the elderly man’s often child-like temperament, Le Tong understood that if she didn’t agree, he would find ways to achieve his goal. Since she had to agree eventually, there was no need to embarrass him in public.

Forget it, she might as well admit it gracefully and make him happy. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Grandpa, if you can’t hold it in, just say it. I don’t mind."

The Old Master, like a cunning old fox who got his way, straightened up and addressed the media friends and guests with a smile.

"This is my Old Yang Family’s granddaughter, Le Tong."

The whole venue was in an uproar!

...

How is that possible? Isn’t she the future head of Ji Group? I’ve never heard of her having any connection with the Yang Family!

She bears the surname Le, is she an adopted one?

No wonder Yang Group and Ji Group not only reconciled but also joined hands to cooperate. So it was a marriage alliance!

Since she’s a granddaughter, the prospect and scope of cooperation between Yang Group and Ji Group in the future must be immense!

...

Listening to the various voices echoing in the venue, Le Tong found them inexplicably noisy, thinking the Old Master might be displeased. But she didn’t expect the Old Master’s mood to be extraordinarily good today. Picking up the microphone on the table, he smiled and addressed everyone present.

"Yes, that’s right, Le Tong is my biological granddaughter, and Ji Rui is the grandson-in-law of my Old Yang Family. The cooperation between Yang Group and Ji Group is just a beginning today, a mere first step. In future, we will have numerous collaboration projects, with unlimited developmental potential. I hope everyone will continue to support and tolerate these young people from the Old Yang Family and the Ji Family."

Even before knowing about the additional kinship between the two families, everyone understood the significance of the cooperation between Yang Group and Ji Group, uniting the market from the south and north.

Now that they know about the additional kinship, they further realize that any field Ji Group and Yang Group enter will be out of their reach.

So, even though the Old Master politely asks for support and tolerance, people present are more concerned with how to curry favor with these two dominating parties in the south and north.

The group interview with reporters concluded at this point, and the master of ceremonies brought forward champagne and flowers. As the heads of both groups, Ji Rui and Yang Sheng opened the giant champagne and poured it into a pyramid-like stack of glasses.

Guests and media reporters scrambled to pick up a glass and went up to offer congratulations.

The socialite girls who used to circle around Ji Rui now all redirected their aim towards Yang Sheng.

Thus, two large circles formed on the podium.

One was an ensemble of beauties flocking around Yang Sheng, vying for his favor and desperately trying to make an impression.

The other surrounded the Old Master and Ji Rui Le Tong, ostensibly congratulating the Old Master’s cherished granddaughter on marrying a well-suited match, but in reality, seizing this opportunity to pursue cooperation with either Ji Group or Yang Group.

Yang Sheng was getting terribly annoyed by the buzzing around him. He used to accuse Ji Rui of not appreciating his fortunes with so many beauties around and not knowing to cherish. Now, when it’s his turn to enjoy such favorable treatment, he feels that it’s karma for mocking Ji Rui!

"Mommy! I want to eat that swan!"

A clear, childlike voice as refreshing as spring water reached Yang Sheng’s ears, and he involuntarily directed his gaze to the swan on top of the six-tier cake.

"No way! That swan isn’t meant to be eaten. Mommy will take you to get some ice cream."
