Chapter 9

He Yun's job change might not have attracted much attention initially, but a subsequent move by Shengru Company sparked widespread excitement throughout Seattle!

Within just two days, this newly established company successfully bid on three real estate projects, all at exorbitant prices. Calculations show that Shengru Company alone spent over 500 million yuan solely on these auctions! Even the renowned Winston family had to retreat under such financial pressure!

As a result, the pursuit of cooperation with Shengru Company quickly became a focal point of discussion among relevant companies.

Any wealthy landowner like that would definitely want a share of the profits!

However, such a meeting ended after just one day, as Shengru Company subsequently made a move that shocked the people of Seattle.

He Yun, current General Manager of Shengru Company, directly stated that the primary partner for this investment in Seattle is the Klein family!!

The Klein family?!

This name is virtually unknown to newcomers; only longtime Seattle residents recall that a decade ago, the Klein family was a prominent aristocratic household.

But now the Klein family is on the verge of declining and eventually leaving Seattle's social circle. The only notable event in recent years, as far as I recall, was that woman from the Klein family—who topped Seattle's list of the four most beautiful women—tryed to find a husband but ended up losing millions due to a scam!

How could such a stagnant Klein family become the partner of a wealthy company like Shengru?!

Everyone was completely puzzled.

Yet despite everyone's confusion, the Klein family—the other party involved in the incident—was celebrating wildly in the meeting room!

"Hahaha... It seems my Klein family really isn't destined to disappear!"

"Pah!! What fate was meant to be ruined? This is what's called' after adversity comes prosperity '—it's heaven's favor for our Klein family!"

The ancestors of the Klein family are above!!

The group turned bright red with excitement, bursting into joyful laughter—some even brought out their ancestors!

The old man's face was equally flushed with excitement, and his hands holding the cane trembled slightly.

What does five hundred million represent? That's the total assets of the Klein family at their peak! Moreover, this amount merely reflects the initial investment made by companies like Shengru.

If the Klein family succeeds in partnering with such a company, even just considering the project's profits alone, they would undoubtedly rise to the upper-middle ranks of a second-tier family dynasty and once again catch the attention of Seattle's elite families!

Could it really be a manifestation from our ancestors??

When he took over the Klein family during its decline, the old man endured immense pressure over the years. Now, seeing the hope of the family's revival, his eyes couldn't help but grow misty with emotion.

Uncle Er, I think we should contact Shengru Company as soon as possible—don't miss this opportunity. If we let it slip away, where will we find another chance like this later on?!

"Yes, Uncle Two, send someone to contact them immediately!"

After getting excited, the group quickly said:

The old man also came to his senses, quickly wiped the corners of his eyes, and said, "Yes, yes, yes—we need to contact them immediately."

"Dad, send Daf Klein. He'll definitely handle this perfectly!"

What? Last time, Duff Klein even said he could work with the Winston family—yet it all ended in such a mess.

"Just, just!"

As soon as Anthony Klein stepped forward to secure opportunities for Duff Klein, he faced opposition from others, while Duff Klein himself turned pale with anger.

"Let Duff Klein go."

After some consideration, the old man finally made his choice—after all, among the third-generation young people, Duff Klein was truly the tallest among the shorter ones.

Thank you, Grandpa!

Duff Klein's eyes lit up with joy.

Well, but if you actually ruin this matter, I won't deal with you personally—I'll simply convene a clan meeting for everyone to handle it. Got it?

The old man stared at him and said seriously.

"I understand, Grandpa! I'll definitely make it happen!"

Dafu Klein's expression changed abruptly; he gritted his teeth and spoke firmly before immediately leaving the meeting room. He drove to Shengru Company's entrance, reported the situation to the authorities, and was then taken to He Yun's office.

Mr.He, the Klein family is very eager to collaborate with Shengru Company!

Looking at He Yun—who had been nothing more than a Winston family dog that day—Duff Klein could only realize how fleeting and unpredictable life truly is.

Very good; our Shengru Company is also highly looking forward to collaborating with the Klein family.

"He Yun doesn't have the same complex psychology as Dafu Klein," he said with a smile.

When would you like to sign the contract?

Upon hearing this, Daf Klein felt delighted and immediately asked.

You can sign now.

He Yun nodded and said.

"That's great!"

Dafu Klein was overjoyed and was about to speak when he was interrupted by He Yun's next words.

"May I ask, Mr.Klein? We would like to collaborate with the Klein family, but we would prefer Miss Bethel Klein Klein from your organization to lead this joint project."

"What?! Belice Klein?!"

Duff Klein suspected he had misheard, and in his astonishment his voice grew somewhat strained.

"Yes, Belissa Klein."

He Yun said with a smile.

"Manager He, Belice Klein has been dismissed from the Klein family. What skills does a woman like her possess? I can handle that just as well!"

"Duff Klein," he said urgently.

He Yun's expression immediately changed, and he nodded.

I didn't expect Miss Bethel Klein to no longer be a member of the Klein family. Unfortunately, in this situation, our Shengru Company has no choice but to seek other partners. Please have Mr.Klein return.

“ wait a minute ！！”

Upon hearing He Yun's words, Dafu Klein's face turned extremely pale, and he quickly said,

"Manager He, do we really have to use Bellis Klein? Why?"

"This is the boss's decision; I'm merely the executor."

As He Yun observed Daf Klein's expression and thought of Alan Yager, a playful gleam flashed in his eyes.

"Alright, no problem. That was just a joke; Bethel Klein is certainly a member of the Klein family."

When Duff Klein learned of his boss's decision, he was taken aback and immediately promised to comply before standing up.

"Then, Manager He, I'll go back first to call Bellis Klein."

“ do as you wish 。”

He Yun smiled.

After about ten minutes, Duff Klein—feeling a mix of emotions— drove back to the Klein family residence.

What did you say?!

"How could it be her?"

"Duff Klein, are you sure you didn't hear that wrong?"

When the group heard Daf Klein's report, they were all utterly astonished!

That's right—I wonder if that despicable woman, Belice Klein, has gotten involved with the boss of Shengru Company!

Duff Klein stood below and spoke sharply.

When the group saw Daph Klein's resolute expression, everyone fell silent; soon afterward, their faces turned troubled.

Thud!!

However, the long-silent old man suddenly raised his head, slammed his cane into Duff Klein, staggered to his feet, and pointed at him while shouting in anger.

Then why aren't you going to find Bethel Klein?! What are you doing here?! Get out of here right now! If I don't get this done, I'll break your legs!!

Daf Klein turned pale with fear, quickly nodded, and instinctively tried to pick up his cane.

Go to me right away!!

The old man shouted again; only then did he jump in surprise and run out of the door.

Belleth Klein returned home, changed into her work uniform for the coffee shop, and sat down at the table to have dinner with Alan Yegel.

Alan Yager, I've heard some news today.

"As soon as I sat down and took a mouthful of the delicious meal, Bethel Klein remarked with admiration," she said.

"Oh, what news is that?"

Alan Yegel asked.

Did you know that a new company called Shengru has just opened recently?

“ hear nothing of 。”

Alan Yegel held back his laughter and shook his head.

Alas, the boss of that company is simply too wealthy—he spent over 500 million yuan straight up to buy three residential complexes!

Belleth Klein didn't notice Alan Yegel's expression; his eyes gleamed as he continued speaking.

"I also heard that they actually plan to collaborate with the Klein family!"

"Oh, that's quite unusual... Do you regret leaving the Klein family?"

Alan Yegel raised his head in a playful remark, only to find Belice Klein raising an eyebrow and turning her face away.

"Hmph, what do I have to regret?! I'm not part of the Klein family anymore! What does it matter to me if the Klein family makes as much money as they want?!"

Heh heh, maybe they suddenly remembered that you're also a member of the Klein family?

Alan Yager, are you going on and on forever?!

Belleth Klein tapped Alan Yeger's chopsticks and said so discontentedly.

Alan Yegel gave her a stern look, and then the two of them started playing around.

Dong dong dong!!

Alright, stop making a scene—I'll go open the door!

After finally escaping Alan Yager's clutches, Belissa Klein shot him a glare, straightened her clothes, and went to open the door.

"Daf Klein?! What are you doing here?!"

However, when she looked at the person before her, Belice Klein's almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise.

Belice Klein, your grandfather asked you to come home; he has something important to tell you.

Duff Klein was holding back a deep breath as he spoke.

"Going home? I'm not part of the Klein family anymore; this is my home. Is there anything else? Please don't ask me to come back."

"We're closing down," Bethel Klein said coldly.

“ you ！！”

Duff Klein was taken aback—he hadn't expected Bethel Klein to react this way. He quickly closed the door and said,

This time, I'm asking you to return solely to discuss your potential return to the Klein family!!

“ what ？？”

Belleth Klein was taken aback; she hadn't expected Duff Klein to bring up this topic either.

What on earth is going on? Could it be that Second Grandfather, seeing that money has been earned, decided to grant a general amnesty??

Belleth Klein found herself hesitating slightly. Returning to the Klein family would certainly be ideal—not because of any personal preference, but simply to ensure she could properly explain things when her father awoke.

How about it? Should I come with you?

Seeing Beth Klein's expression, Duff Klein felt a sense of relief and said,

You may go back, but when you do, tell the old man that you need to come here and ask for Bellis Klein.

At that very moment, Alan Yegel approached from behind and said coldly.
