Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 1806 - 1807: Eldest Granddaughter of the Wealthy Family 70

Chapter 1806: Chapter 1807: Eldest Granddaughter of the Wealthy Family 70

Zhang Yu didn’t expect Zhang Jiang to actually call her specifically to complain. Honestly, she was quite surprised.

Previously, Zhang Jiang never put on a senior’s airs in front of her, but he wasn’t too cordial either.

It was mostly polite, certainly not discussing these matters with her.

Before hanging up, Zhang Yu asked aloud.

Zhang Jiang on the other end laughed happily: Because we are in the same boat, neither of us has a good impression of the Zhang Family.

Zhang Jiang: If Zhang Family’s business does well, I get dividends, and the family’s expenses and children’s education are covered. If the Zhang Family’s business doesn’t do well, it has nothing to do with a good-for-nothing son like me.

After stopping his laughter, Zhang Jiang said seriously: Little Yu, I don’t know how you suddenly figured things out. I just wanted to tell you that now that you have a plan for your future, just go forward with determination.

Zhang Jiang: Even if this path is difficult, it’s okay to change paths, but whatever happens, do not return to the Zhang Family.

Zhang Jiang: There are too many people on the Zhang Family ship who want to get rich. Unless a thorough overhaul of the Zhang Group is done, it will just delay the sinking of the Zhang road.

Zhang Yu could guess a bit, like how Zhang Jiang doesn’t view Zhang Group’s future positively, but didn’t expect him to have such deep insight, even clearer than Zhang Hujuan and Zhang Hai.

Zhang Yu: Second Uncle, since you realized it, why?

Zhang Jiang chuckled: Even your dad didn’t complete the task, there’s no way I can do it, and it’s too exhausting. The old man is getting older, holding onto power too tightly.

Zhang Jiang: If the company thrives, it’s under his guidance, but if it doesn’t meet expectations, then the successor didn’t follow his plans.

Zhang Jiang: Even with the old man’s marathon-capable healthy body, guessing when he might kick the bucket is a problem.

Zhang Jiang: Working under the Emperor’s shadow, always in fear, who knows when it will end? Let’s not bother.

Zhang Jiang: Whoever wants to be the heir of Zhang Group, let them do it, I certainly don’t want to.

Zhang Yu understood Zhang Jiang’s words were sincere: But why do you still support Aunt?

Instinct told her that if she didn’t ask now, the opportunity might not come again.

Zhang Jiang knew Zhang Yu had doubts in her heart but didn’t expect her to ask so straightforwardly, though he was a bit surprised.

Since the child has doubts, as an elder, of course, an explanation is required: You also know the old man is a biased person. If I don’t help your aunt, won’t Zhang Hai become even more cocky?

Zhang Jiang: Sometimes only when the company becomes more chaotic does it benefit us.

Zhang Jiang: That boy Zhang Hai, without more training, if he takes over Zhang Group, won’t the company collapse immediately? That wouldn’t be good.

Zhang Jiang: And only this way, the old man won’t keep an eye on others constantly. It gives me more time.

More time? Zhang Yu felt something was off about Zhang Jiang’s words, but she had no evidence.

Zhang Jiang: Alright, it’s getting late. I need to go back and catch up on sleep. Honestly, with such a big issue, the old man still lets Zhang Hai handle it.

Zhang Jiang clicked his tongue a few times: If he could handle it, he would have by now, but look at the result.

Zhang Jiang paused: This week, when going to and from school, be careful, let the driver pick you up and drop you off.

Zhang Jiang: If the driver doesn’t come, don’t take a taxi, just call me, I’ll pick you up.

Zhang Jiang: Even if someone claims to be from Zhang Group, don’t listen, stick with your current driver.

Once Zhang Jiang finished talking, he hung up, leaving Zhang Yu muttering to herself, surely no one would want to kidnap her?

Everyone knows she might be the eldest of the Zhang Family, but she’s practically an orphan, and the old man doesn’t care much about her. Kidnapping her won’t guarantee the Zhang Family would pay ransom?

But hold on, Zhang Family might not pay ransom, but she doesn’t have to count on Zhang Family for money. She already has her own money and properties left to her by Zhang He, which anyone with a little information would know.

Damn it, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but swear, she really couldn’t hope the Zhang Family would show any decency. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Though there is currently no evidence, one should never underestimate those who lend money at high interest.

What can she do? It’s only two places, school to home, home to school, the rest, forget it.

Sigh, Zhang Yu felt the need to sign up for a Taekwondo class, at least improve her self-defense skills to deal with potential threats.

Upon deciding this, Zhang Yu immediately went to find Zhang Fugui.

Zhang Fugui was initially puzzled as to why Zhang Yu approached him. Upon learning her plan to learn Taekwondo, he asked, "Why did you suddenly want to learn this?"

"It wasn’t sudden." Zhang Yu explained she had thought about it for a while, "I planned to learn it after the college entrance exams."

"After all, when I’m outside, I never know if I’ll encounter good or bad people."

"For safety’s sake, I think it’s better to learn some self-defense skills."

"That way, in case I run into trouble, at least I can protect myself."

"And also." Zhang Yu knew her explanation might not convince Zhang Fugui, "The Zhang Family fleeing with donations, those who invested are not going to be happy, are they?"

"They might not go after Zhang Family, but they will definitely come after us, after Little Uncle and Yinghao."

"Little Uncle has made it clear he won’t spend any money."

"He’s the boss, with assistants and all, those people might think twice before targeting him, but Little Uncle has bodyguards around him."

"Plus, he’s a big figure. If something were to happen, it would cause quite a stir, and authorities would make all-out efforts to catch the perpetrators."

"What if those people target me?" Zhang Yu shivered as she spoke.

Zhang Fugui glanced at Zhang Yu, "You’re overthinking it. They won’t harm you."

"Plus, this issue was caused by Zhang Family." Zhang Fugui comforted Zhang Yu without real sincerity.

"Yeah, it was Zhang Family’s fault, but does Zhang Family have money?"

"The people who lent money have fled, even if they can’t catch them, they’ll target Little Uncle, but Little Uncle won’t pay."

"When people get desperate, there’s no telling what extreme actions they might take, certainly not expecting them to be humane, especially those lending at high interests."

Those defrauded by Zhang Family might not do anything extreme, but against those lending at extortionate rates, Zhang Yu doesn’t feel secure.

"It won’t be much. You’re overthinking it." Zhang Fugui was indeed worried, though, that the lenders might turn against them if they couldn’t collect from Zhang Family.

Like targeting Zhang Hai or Zhang Yinghao, since one is the Zhang Family son-in-law, and the other is the grandson. If Zhang Fugui had to choose, he certainly hoped they wouldn’t come into harm’s way.
