71: Zhang Yu's identity: the client's grandfather?
Just as Zhang Yu was about to speak.
Mother Wang, who had just walked into the living room, was originally all smiles.
Upon seeing him.
Her eyes first paused in surprise, then confusion, and finally, utter astonishment.
Her expression rapidly changed in just a few seconds.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Seeing Mother Wang looking like this, Wang Xiaocong quickly asked.
"Mrs. Wang, what happened?"
Mother Lu also quickly stepped forward and asked.
Today was the day the Wang family came to present the betrothal gifts, so why did she have such an expression upon entering?
"Isn't that CEO Zhang? Why is he at your house?"
"CEO Zhang? Which CEO Zhang? Him?"
Lu Zhenhua said, pointing at Zhang Yu.
That appellation stunned everyone present.
Mother Wang was one of Jiangcheng's most influential and extravagant socialites, having seen more than enough of the world.
Why did she have such an expression after seeing Zhang Yu?
"Mom, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
Ever since the last incident, Wang Xiaocong had long regarded Zhang Yu as a love rival.
He had also investigated everything about him.
He hadn't discovered anything particularly powerful about him.
"Don't none of you know?"
At this moment, Mother Wang had almost forgotten why she came to the Lu family home.
Seeing the entire Lu family and her son Wang Xiaocong looking completely bewildered.
She quickly said, "He is the Major Shareholder of Dami Technology Company!"
What? Dami Technology Company?
Hearing that name, Father Wang looked at Mother Wang in disbelief, then turned to look at Zhang Yu.
He is the Major Shareholder of Dami Technology Company? And so young?
"Are you confused? Isn't the CEO of Da Mi Technology Company Brother OK?"
Father Wang said, "I am about to sign a 20 billion contract with him; the time has already been set."
Dami Technology is the client (Party A) of the Wang Group.
The CEO of Da Mi Technology Company has always been the one handling various affairs.
Why had they never known that the Major Shareholder of Dami Technology was someone else entirely?
"I only just found out too!"
Mother Wang was completely flustered at this point, afraid of saying the wrong thing. "CEO Zhang, I truly didn't expect to see you here!"
She used the honorific "Nín" (You).
"Mom, you must be mistaken. How could he be the Major Shareholder of Dami Technology Company?"
Wang Xiaocong was the first to disbelieve it.
Dami Technology Company has a market value of 200 billion yuan, and the Major Shareholder's stake is worth at least over 100 billion yuan.
This level of financial power is extremely formidable.
Across the entire Dragon Nation, fewer than 30 people possess such wealth.
As for Jiangcheng, he would be one of the top few tycoons.
"How could I be mistaken?" Mother Wang was slightly indignant and grew serious. "I even bought 50 million yuan worth of shares in Dami Technology Company; I'm a shareholder of no small significance myself."
"Furthermore, our socialite circle, the White Horse Club, has also been discussing this recently!"
The White Horse Club!
Wang Xiaocong immediately realized that this matter was likely true.
It is a circle composed of the top socialites from the Five Central Provinces, with fewer than 20 members, and their meeting location is fixed at the White Horse Club.
Anything discussed within that circle is invariably accurate.
Lu Hanxiao's family, hearing Mother Wang say this, was also plunged into massive shock.
"We knew he had status, but we never imagined it was this high!"
Lu Hanxiao recalled the news she had seen previously.
She had thought Zhang Yu was, at most, just a shareholder of Dami Technology Company's Jiangcheng branch, perhaps with a few billion in assets.
She hadn't expected him to be the Major Shareholder of the headquarters? His net worth instantly multiplied several dozen times beyond what she had envisioned!
"CEO Zhang, look at this, my Lu family was truly blind and neglected you!"
Mother Lu was the first to react.
If Mother Wang wasn't wrong, then Zhang Yu was the client (Party A) of the Lu family's client (Party A).
That meant he had to be called Client Grandfather!
Moreover, since their daughter Lu Hanxiao brought him home, it meant they had a good relationship.
How was it possible that they still hadn't clarified his identity?
Otherwise, such a ridiculous blunder wouldn't have occurred.
"Old Lu, say something!"
Mother Lu glanced at Lu Zhenhua and quickly urged him.
"How is this possible?"
Lu Zhenhua was clearly still reeling from the immense shock.
His attitude toward Zhang Yu just now had been so poor.
Now, if he was their Client Grandfather.
Anything he said now would be too late.
The sheer volume of information was too much; Lu Zhenhua couldn't process it at all.
Should he apologize to him?
That would make him look too opportunistic, turning his previous rigidity into a joke.
Or should he remain indifferent?
Zhang Yu was, after all, the Client Grandfather. Having a bad attitude towards him wouldn't end well.
For a moment, he was caught in an awkward dilemma, unsure whether to advance or retreat.
Silence reigned over the Lu family that night.
Father Wang, at this moment, was the first to react, quickly saying, "I truly never imagined that the Major Shareholder behind Dami Technology Company was you, CEO Zhang! To meet you here is a great honor!"
This was why it was said that the Wang family did bigger business than the Lu family,
and could suppress them.
Their minds reacted quickly.
He immediately bowed, respectfully stepped forward, adopted a humble posture, and extended both hands to shake Zhang Yu's hand.
Seeing Father Wang's respect, Zhang Yu smiled faintly and extended one hand in return.
"Come, don't just stand there, why don't we sit down and talk?" Mother Lu was also trying hard to ease the situation.
However, the information overload today left her unsure how best to proceed.
"I heard the Wang family came today to propose marriage and present betrothal gifts for Lu Hanxiao?"
It was Zhang Yu who proactively brought up the matter.
"Propose marriage and present gifts?"
Father Wang and Mother Wang's minds were racing at this moment.
Within just a few seconds, their brains' CPUs were practically burning out.
It was obvious.
CEO Zhang had returned with Lu Hanxiao.
Furthermore, the Lu family hadn't known his identity beforehand.
Presumably, a dispute had occurred because of this.
And the source of the dispute was none other than their Wang family coming to present the betrothal gifts.
This meant that Lu Hanxiao might already be CEO Zhang's woman.
To dare to poach his woman at a time like this.
Wasn't that courting disaster?
Father Wang and Mother Wang realized the seriousness of the situation.
They quickly said, "CEO Zhang, a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"
"Our son took a liking to Lu Hanxiao because she is truly outstanding! We just didn't realize she was already taken. This is our oversight, please excuse the intrusion!"
"Lu Hanxiao will be far more blessed following CEO Zhang than coming to the Wang family. We sincerely congratulate CEO Zhang!"
Father Wang and Mother Wang spoke eloquently, offering various auspicious phrases, practically offering New Year greetings on the spot.
"Mom and Dad, what are you doing?"
Wang Xiaocong was unwilling. "He's just a Major Shareholder of Dami Technology Company, that's all. We can still live without him, can't we?"
"Silence!"
Father Wang was deeply distressed.
How did he raise such a wasteful son, one who sells off the family fortune without a second thought?
