Chapter 154

After hanging up the phone, Ji Xiaoli looked as if she was about to jump up with excitement.

The unexpected extra days of vacation were a great opportunity for both Ji Xiaoli and Zheng Nanfeng to enjoy themselves. It had been a long time since they last had a good relaxation together.

They had originally planned to return to China in the next two days, but now they could stay abroad for a while longer.

"Are you going to rest after returning to China or continue playing abroad?"

Ji Xiaoli began to plan what they should do.

On the one hand, they were inclined to travel around and enjoy the beautiful scenery abroad.

On the other hand, they also wanted to go back to China and take charge of their family business.

"Forget it. Since we've already come out, let's have a good time here for a few more days before going back."

That made sense. Opportunities to travel were rare, and although they came from wealthy families, they couldn't always afford so much time.

"Okay. Then let's stay here for a while. You check out some interesting places. I haven't done any research."

Ji Xiaoli said sincerely, and Zheng Nanfeng immediately took it to heart.

He thought he must find a really good place to take Ji Xiaoli to play.

While the two of them were discussing whether to return to China here, on the other side, Tom was rubbing the ballpoint pen in his hand. He asked someone to give the money to the informant and whispered, "Keep monitoring. See where they're going if they don't return to China."

When Ji Xiaoli and Zheng Nanfeng were talking about going out to play, they were overheard clearly by the people sent by Tom.

"If you want to go out and play, then just stay here. Don't leave."

A cold smile flashed in Tom's eyes. It seemed that he had already made up his mind about what to do to the two of them.

At this moment, Zheng Nanfeng and Ji Xiaoli had no idea that danger was approaching them.

"This time, I'm not only going to make you two suffer, but also let those useless people know who the real choice is."

As Tom said this, he clenched the round stone in his hand and smashed it hard on the table.

A dent was made on the wooden table, and the subordinates standing beside were terrified.

After carefully thinking through a series of things, Tom suddenly had a new plan.

Soon, Tom appeared in front of the person in power of the Jess family. This person was a man of great influence.

Many years ago, he had caused quite a stir in the entire Jess family.

It was a pity that as years went by, he seemed to be gradually moving to the background.

However, Tom didn't care about this. He had already sat down opposite him.

"I know the heir you like now is Jess, but I hope you, Uncle, can listen to me for a while."

As Tom said this, he took out a piece of information from his documents.

The elder raised his eyebrows. Apparently, he wanted to know what Tom was going to do.

The elder knew exactly what kind of person Tom was on a daily basis and also knew what had happened between the two of them recently.

That was exactly why he had specifically chosen Jess as the heir this time.

But the matter wasn't over yet. Who could be sure that it was already a foregone conclusion?

"What do you want to tell me? Aren't all these achievements made by Jess?"

After casually flipping through the documents, the elder found that most of them were about some investments Jess had recently signed.

These investments were the important documents that had made the Jess family start to make a profit.

The elder had also been looking at these in the past two days, so he recognized them at a glance.

Tom spread out these documents one by one and then circled a few names.

"Don't you think these names are familiar? They're two Chinese people. It's because of these two Chinese people that..."

As he said this, Tom winked at the elder.

The elder thought for a moment and then remembered. Jess had negotiated too many deals recently.

Although Jess had always been very capable, the current Jess was so powerful that it was a bit scary.

"What does this prove?"

After closing the documents, the elder seemed to sneer.

"This is the real heir we need. Can you do the same?"

Tom naturally knew that this elder always flattered those in power. He would take a fancy to whoever had the power.

However, Tom now had a wonderful handle.

"Ji Xiaoli and Zheng Nanfeng have unparalleled potential and are very accurate in investment."

As he said this, Tom took one of the cases and started to explain.

After hearing this, the elder, who had originally been uninterested, seemed to have developed some interest in Ji Xiaoli.

A young girl from China, who didn't look very old, how could she have such strong abilities?

"Do you mean this person is an investment genius? But why wasn't she discovered in China? Instead, she came abroad."

The elder was naturally not an easy person to be fooled.

There was a hint of suspicion in his eyes when he looked at Tom.

Tom knew that if he didn't produce more evidence, the elder might not believe him.

"You don't know. Among the documents signed this time, this woman has a particularly good relationship with that Jack."

When mentioning Jack's name, Tom seemed to grit his teeth.

If it weren't for Jack making that statement this time, his status wouldn't have fallen so much.

Moreover, the people in the Jess family had always been sycophantic. Now that Tom's status had plummeted, few people were respectful to him anymore.

It's easy to go from simplicity to luxury, but hard to go from luxury to simplicity.

Now Tom was a bit unaccustomed to the fact that people were no longer respectful to him.

This was also why Tom hated Ji Xiaoli so much.

The elder silently took a sip of coffee, as if pondering whether this woman really had that much ability.

"Are you sure this isn't Jess's trick? After all, she's just an ordinary woman."

Having been in power for so many years, the elder naturally wouldn't believe easily, so he was extra cautious.

Tom naturally knew that the elder would think this way, so he told the whole story of what had happened to him at the auction.

"A woman with such deep schemes must be very confident. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been deceived!"

Thinking of the things he had bought at a high price, Tom gritted his teeth.

But he also felt a bit proud in his heart. Who knew what this woman's purpose was for staying here? What if it was harmful to the family? He had said so much. He didn't believe the elder didn't understand.

The elder thought for a while and seemed to be still considering whether to continue.

If such a capable person could stay and develop in his family, the Jess family would surely reach a higher level in the future.

"Uncle, I'm doing this for the good of our family. I have no other intentions. I hope you can take my advice."

After Tom finished speaking, he left the study with a smile, leaving the elder alone to think about what he had said.
