From Sidekick to Bigshot

Then, Zhai Yunsheng logged in with the details that he just gave to Jian Yiling.

After logging in, there was a system where one could look through any accounts.

Strangely enough, not only were the Zhai family’s companies there but there were also the accounts of many other companies.

“Don’t be surprised. These companies willingly submitted their accounts to the Zhai family.”

“A business alliance?”

“Hmm, I guess you could interpret it in that way. However, the history of this alliance can probably be traced back to two or three hundred years ago.”

Then, Zhai Yunsheng briefly told Jian Yiling about the history and the current situation of the Loyalty Alliance.

Jian Yiling did not know much about the Loyalty Alliance.

When describing the beginning of the conflict between Qin Chuan and Zhai Yunsheng, the original novel had mentioned the power behind the Zhai family.

Furthermore, the original novel mentioned that Qin Chuan had his own men placed into the Loyalty Alliance.

However, before the plot of the original novel unfolded, the original Jian Yiling had died. Furthermore, the current Jian Yiling had also died because of the fire.

Then, Jian Yiling asked: “Can they check the accounts of other people?”

“No. Your account has the highest authority. Therefore, you can view everything. However, there are some restrictions on the accounts of other people.”

Out of curiosity, Jian Yiling briefly scrolled through the accounts.

“There’s something wrong with this company’s accounts,” Jian Yiling said as she pointed to a company called Quan Xin.

Zhai Yunsheng laughed when he heard this. The company she pointed to indeed had a problem of falsifying its accounts.

Jian Yiling’s eyes were way too sharp.

Before she even took a close look, she already knew that there was a problem with that company.

Therefore, Zhai Yunsheng said: “I’m just handing you the details. However, you don’t have to look into these things for the time being.”

Zhai Yunsheng did not want Jian Yiling to work too hard.

His little rabbit was already incredibly busy with her own things. Therefore, he did not want to add an extra burden onto her.

He gave her the account because she was now the matriarch of the Zhai family. She had the right to look into these things.

Then, Zhai Yunsheng said: “Furthermore, according to the rules, they will have to pay their respects to you tonight. However, you don’t need to worry about anything. You don’t even need to care about what they say. If they’re unsatisfied with you, I will deal with it. You don’t need to say anything. As a matter of fact, you only need to see them tonight. In the future, you don’t even have to speak to them.”

Jian Yiling nodded before she said: “Mhmm if you’re accompanying me, I won’t be scared.”

Upon hearing this, Zhai Yunsheng’s heartbeat became fast.

Usually, his heartbeat wouldn’t even become fast on a rollercoaster. However, his heartbeat accelerated because of Jian Yiling’s words.

Later in the night at Cai Ningxuan.

In an antique room filled with mahogany furniture.

The room was filled with antiques of great value.

There was a round table carved out of mahogany in the middle of the room.

The round table could fit at least eight people.

In the past, only a maximum of seven people sat at the round desk. A seat was always empty.

That seat was meant for the Zhai family’s matriarch.

According to the rules passed down from their ancestors, only the matriarch of the Zhai family was qualified to be seated there. She could discuss business matters of the Loyalty Alliance with everyone else.

When Jian Yiling entered the room, the other six people were already there.

As soon as Jian Yiling entered, they all cast a sizing glance at Jian Yiling.

“What? Just because the Zhai family has been without a matriarch for so many years, does that mean that you’ve all forgotten the rules?” Zhai Yunsheng asked as he stared at everyone else in the room.
