Chapter 178: Unfamiliar Granddaughter
That night, Jin Family.
As early as after Jin Qiaoying decided to stay here, this place had been checked layer by layer inside and out by security personnel from Great Xia Military Headquarters, and they had directly taken over the security work.
After the state banquet ended, Jin Zhiyong was sent back early.
Jin Qiaoying, after a brief meeting with high officials from South Island Country, dragged her fatigued body back to the Jin Family.
Dan Qin got out of the car first and opened the door, then whispered in her ear: “Chief, Mr. Jin is waiting for you in the inner residence. He just woke up.”
Hearing this, Jin Qiaoying nodded and followed her inside.
The elderly person was advanced in age, with generally very short sleep times, but also fatigued very quickly.
She didn’t care about her own extremely fatigued state at the moment, paused for a long time in front of the rear residence, then took a deep breath and pushed the door open to enter.
Dan Qin did not follow this time. The place had already been checked by Security Department staff, with no security issues, but she didn’t leave either, standing at the door like a door god.
In the inner room, Jin Zhiyong sensed the arrival of someone, slowly raised his head, and looked at this granddaughter who now held a high position with a complex expression, remaining silent for a long time.
Jin Qiaoying walked forward, sat down beside him, and seeing Jin Zhiyong like this, she also fell silent for a while before speaking faintly:
“Jin Ze is now in Mars Utopia City. Recently, through Spitz Company, he has established a mining exploration company.
Great Xia will have a very high demand for basic minerals in the next period of time. As long as his company doesn’t encounter any accidents, it should be able to develop.”
Hearing this, Jin Zhiyong showed no reaction, as if he didn’t care at all about that grandson who had been missing for many years, and instead said in a hoarse voice: “What about Xinghai? Can they operate normally without you?”
Hearing this, Jin Qiaoying raised her eyebrows, surprisedly turning her head to look at Jin Zhiyong’s eyes, which seemed to become wise again in that instant, like the elderly person.
She slowly shook her head and said: “My role at Xinghai is no longer significant. Nowadays, Xinghai’s computer technology leads the whole world, with a cliff-like advantage over all other nations. Their artificial intelligence system is fully capable of handling complex financial and operational management.
Moreover, after the last meeting, Xinghai has handed over all production and manufacturing related matters to Great Xia Ministry of Industry.
Current Xinghai is traveling light, with all financial resources focused on research and development projects, and their funding sources”
Jin Qiaoying said this, then shook her head speechlessly.
High-voltage radio, solid-state battery, graphene chip, controllable nuclear fusion reactor, quantum communication, fusion engine, nano-coat, nanorobot—the technology transfer fees for these technologies added up had even transcended the concept of money.
What she said wasn’t classified; it was all public information.
Jin Zhiyong’s eyes drooped slightly, and his aged hands on the armrests couldn’t help but grip slightly harder.
This subtle action of his was seen by Jin Qiaoying.
But Jin Qiaoying just shook her head lightly and said: “Too late.”
“Yes, too late.”
Jin Zhiyong’s hand relaxed, and he let out a long sigh.
Nowadays, San Xin had no relation to the Jin Family anymore, and had completely fallen to a third-rate enterprise.
On the contrary, the mining exploration company that Jin Ze established on Mars might surpass the current San Xin in the near future.
However, even if Jin Ze exhausted his entire life, without any accidents, it was still unlikely to restore the company to the former status of San Xin Group.
“I want Jin Ze to come back and run for president of South Island Country.”
“Impossible!”
Facing this sudden proposal, Jin Qiaoying instinctively refused.
Although she was fatigued, her mind turned very quickly.
Jin Ze was essentially like most South Island Country people, a pro-United States advocate.
Back then, even when San Xin’s stock price plummeted on the verge of bankruptcy, he ultimately chose to believe in Spitz Company’s Mars Project.
And never thought of relying on Great Xia for development.
If Jin Ze had contacted her at that time, she would have given him the same instructions as she did to Hiller.
This fundamentally wasn’t something ordinary people could participate in.
In Xinghai’s eyes at that time, the San Xin on the verge of bankruptcy was basically no different from ordinary people.
However, having such a pro-United States advocate run for president of South Island Country now was simply impossible to succeed in the current South Island Country.
The current South Island Country, from the ultra-high-spec reception she received during her visit, made it evident.
The public’s twisted mentality, though still wanting to maintain the former superior attitude of looking down on Great Xia on the surface, would in actual actions cast votes for pro-Great Xia advocates.
It was just that the current Great Xia was too powerful.
The global conference held in Great Xia some time ago showcased to the world what true grandeur of all nations paying tribute looked like.
99% of Blue Star’s leaders all attended, and the conference content was directly announced to the whole world, with no concealment at all.
The hibernation pod technology and anti-aging therapy announced at the conference, Great Xia wasn’t worried at all about being coveted by other forces.
And the most uncomfortable point for South Island Country people was that even the current United States President Mark seemed to have accepted this fact.
Spitz Company nowadays could truly be said to be thriving by relying on the vast branches of Xinghai Technology.
Even United States had submitted, so wanting a pro-United States person to be elected president was simply impossible.
Unless.
Unless using her current identity as chief of Great Xia Ministry of Economy and Trade.
Otherwise, it was completely unrealistic.
Thinking of this, Jin Qiaoying felt an inexplicable surge of irritation.
In her 13 years at Xinghai, although work wasn’t easy, she basically never encountered any petty intrigues.
Now that she had just returned, due to her identity, she was targeted first by her own family.
Jin Zhiyong’s face showed some agitation as he said: “No need for you to step in.”
Jin Qiaoying’s face at this moment was extremely serious. She looked straight at Jin Zhiyong and said slowly: “If you have this idea again, I will make Jin Ze stay on Mars forever. Please believe me, I have the ability to do it!”
As her words fell, Jin Zhiyong seemed to have had the last bit of strength drained from his body, leaning on the wheelchair and staring blankly at this unfamiliar granddaughter.
He realized that since that meeting at Great Xia customs, he had completely lost control over his granddaughter.
Seeing the elderly person like this, Jin Qiaoying’s expression softened a bit, then she said: “On Mars, there are many opportunities. The Jin Family will have a chance to make a comeback in the future.”
Hearing this, Jin Zhiyong’s eyes lit up for an instant, but upon seeing his granddaughter’s calm and unwavering gaze, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
He knew this granddaughter would not step in to help Jin Ze.
Everything would have to rely on Jin Ze’s own efforts.
Jin Qiaoying reached up and rubbed her temple; at this moment, she was truly a bit tired.
Everything about the Jin Family made her feel extremely irritated. At this moment, she wished she could immediately turn around, go to the airport, return to Great Xia, and go back to that pure land to peacefully be her General Manager of Xinghai.
Unfortunately, everything had changed.
