Rich Parents Found Me After I Got a Tycoon System? Yeah, I'm Not Interested

Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Xia Zhiyun’s Anger

"If the Xia Family were that capable, they wouldn’t be in this situation."

Yun Zijin was giving them a master class on the meaning of "you looked down on me then, but now I’m out of your league."

This was karma for the Xia Family!

If only they had treated her a bit better when they first found her, Yun Zijin wouldn’t be acting so ruthlessly now.

Yun Zijin chuckled lightly. ’Well, that’s not my problem.’

Just as Yun Zijin was about to close her eyes and rest, her phone rang on the table.

It was an unknown number, so Yun Zijin rejected it out of habit.

To her surprise, the number called again. Racking her brain to see if she’d forgotten to handle something, Yun Zijin accepted the call.

"Hello..."

"Yun Zijin, where are you?"

She recognized Xia Zhiyun’s tone immediately.

"Oh, it’s you. I was wondering what stranger would call me twice in a row."

"I’m asking you a question. Stop dodging it!"

Xia Zhiyun’s tone was terrible, and Yun Zijin frowned slightly.

"Young Master Xia, perhaps you should get a clear picture of the Xia Family’s current predicament and then reconsider if you should be speaking to me this way."

Yun Zijin didn’t hang up right away. Instead, she offered him a kind reminder.

But when Su Mengyao and the others heard Yun Zijin say "Young Master Xia," their ears perked up. This was some juicy gossip!

"The family is falling apart, and you’re acting like nothing’s wrong? Yun Zijin, you’re truly heartless!"

Xia Zhiyun had intended to speak to Yun Zijin calmly, but the moment he opened his mouth, accusations spilled out.

"Me, heartless? Young Master Xia, don’t you think that’s a laughable thing to say? I don’t owe any of you a thing.

What exactly did you call for? If it’s just to yell at me, then don’t bother."

’She wasn’t going to take this abuse.’

Only then did Xia Zhiyun realize that after all that, he still hadn’t gotten to the point.

"A couple of days ago, Jiao Jiao came home and said you were willing to buy that plot of land in the South Suburb."

Xia Zhiyun paused.

He knew that Yun Zijin was likely the Xia Family’s only way out.

"Did she not tell you there was a condition for me to buy that land?"

’If she couldn’t use it to build her own private estate, she wouldn’t buy it.’

"What condition?"

Xia Zhiyun frowned slightly. Jiao Jiao really hadn’t mentioned that.

But he didn’t dwell on it, just assuming Xia Jiajiao had been too anxious and had forgotten to mention it.

"That land has no commercial value in my eyes. So... my condition for buying it is that I’m allowed to build a private estate there for myself."

Yun Zijin’s words silenced Xia Zhiyun for a long moment.

’They had worked themselves to the bone for that land, to the point where it nearly ruined them, and Yun Zijin was buying it just to build herself a private estate?’

For the first time, Xia Zhiyun truly felt the gap between the Xia Family and Yun Zijin.

In terms of financial power alone, they were no match for her.

"Are you serious?"

"You don’t need to worry about that. If I can’t get the permits, I won’t buy it."

’Building a private estate wasn’t easy in Hua Country, but rules only apply when you haven’t offered enough to bend them.’

’As long as she paid enough, she could build that estate.’

Xia Zhiyun fell silent. From his perspective, what she was proposing was utterly impossible.

Yun Zijin, by making such a demand, was clearly just making a fool of them!

Only someone as naive as Jiao Jiao would have actually believed Yun Zijin!

"Yun Zijin, don’t take it too far! Build your own estate? You’re just messing with us! If you don’t want to buy it, then stop pretending you have the means!"

With that, Xia Zhiyun hung up. He refused to believe that he, Xia Zhiyun, couldn’t find anyone willing to help the Xia Family!

Suddenly being yelled at and then hung up on, Yun Zijin was a little stunned herself.

’Is that Xia Zhiyun nuts? I was telling the truth. What does he mean, ’messing with us’? Does he think he’s that important?’

Putting down her phone, Yun Zijin pouted. ’What a buzzkill.’

"What’s wrong?"

Qin Sitong noticed Yun Zijin’s unhappy expression.

"It’s nothing. Xia Zhiyun is just being a lunatic."

Yun Zijin didn’t want to elaborate.

Qin Sitong and the others tacitly understood not to press the issue.

"The sun isn’t as harsh now. Should we go down and have some fun?"

Zhu Yuehua glanced at the sun, now starting to set in the west, and made a timely suggestion.

Yun Zijin and her friends all agreed. The temperature was perfect.

Back in the CEO’s office at the Xia family’s company, Xia Zhiyun hung up on Yun Zijin and couldn’t resist slamming several files onto his desk.

Outside, the secretaries in the executive office heard the commotion, and their hearts leaped into their throats.

’The boss’s temper has been getting worse and worse lately.’

"What was that about?"

one of them asked the person next to her in a hushed voice.

"No idea. Probably got rejected by someone again."

The regular employees might not have known, but the people in the executive office knew exactly what was going on.

Because of the South Suburb land deal, the Xia family’s cash flow was extremely tight, and many in their office were already looking for other jobs.

The next second, the direct line on one of the secretaries’ desks rang.

The secretary’s face immediately took on an expression of utter despair, but she still answered the phone instantly. "Mr. President, how can I help you?"

"Come in and clean up."

Xia Zhiyun’s tone was calm, betraying no hint of the tantrum he’d just had.

’He probably threw the files off his desk again... Here I go!’

The secretary put on an expression like a martyr heading to her execution.

The others shot her a sympathetic glance. ’What terrible luck.’

The secretary had just entered and started cleaning up the mess when Xia Zhiyun was summoned away by a call from Xia Zhengguang.

The secretary sighed in relief.

With him out of the office, she no longer had to be painstakingly careful not to make a single sound while she cleaned.

Once Xia Zhiyun was gone, the secretary quickly finished tidying up and scurried back to her desk.

"Are you okay? I think I just saw the President heading to the Chairman’s office."

When the secretary returned to her desk, several colleagues came over to check on her.

"I’m fine, I’m fine. The President left right after I went in, so I just cleaned up and got out."

"You got lucky this time, then. The last time it was me... I swear... I nearly passed out from holding my breath."

The secretary patted her colleague’s shoulder, giving her a look of deep sympathy.

「Xia Family Chairman’s Office.」

When Xia Zhiyun walked in, he saw an obviously exhausted Xia Zhengguang pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Dad."

"You’re here? Did you get in touch with her?"

Xia Zhengguang was desperate to sell the South Suburb plot immediately. He was ready to accept it, even if it meant taking a loss.

But apart from Yun Zijin, who had expressed an interest in buying, everyone else went silent the moment the topic was raised.

Xia Zhiyun hesitated. He didn’t know how to tell his father that Yun Zijin was just toying with them.

’Building a private estate on such a huge plot of land in Dijing was practically impossible.’

"Dad, let’s try to find another way. Yun Zijin... she isn’t serious about buying."

"What do you mean?"

Xia Zhengguang was instantly wide awake. They had finally grasped a lifeline, only to be told it was the last straw that would break them?
