Chapter 9: 009: Grandpa Tian and Uncle Chen's Crisis Seeing his task completed, Director Wang was about to leave when suddenly Yue Xuexia stopped him. Yue Xuexia spoke, "Ah, please wait." "Yes, Eldest Miss Yue. Something I can help you with?" asked Director Wang. "Can you pass a message to Grandpa Tian for me?" "Sure. Please speak freely." Yue Xuexia nods and navigates her iPad, which displays the stock market and captures her launching the Autumn Field Bank branch in Italy, before informing Director Wang about it. "Please look at this!" she said. Although he is not an expert, Director Wang has a slight interest in the stock market as well. "I'm sorry, my lady, but my knowledge when it comes to stocks is not that much different from that of ordinary businessmen," honestly explained Director Wang. Yue Xuexia said, "Oh~ okay. I will explain it to you. You see this part. Under this label is supposed to be the name of the current owner of these shares. The Italy Branch of Autumn Field Bank is supposed to be under Grandpa Wang's name, but... look clearly... the name of the highest shareholder of this bank had been replaced by some a few minutes ago. This means these shares had been sold to someone else and are no longer under Grandpa Tian's name." "I don't think Grandpa Tian would sell the largest piece of stock under this bank. Unless the buyer is also surnamed Tian, but... please read it on your own. The new owner of these stocks is no longer a member of the Tian Family. Isn't that strange?" Yue Xuexia's argument was made so simple that even a common businessman, such as Secretary Qu, could comprehend what she was attempting to convey. Secretary Qu asked, "If the owner of the shares was suddenly changed, does that mean this Autumn Field Bank Italy branch is no longer under the Tian Family shareholder?" "Yes, that's right. But it would take at least half a day for this share to be finalized. I think it is still better to inform Grandpa Tian if he was indeed the one selling these shares. Once this share transfer was finalized, then even if you complain in court, winning the case is minuscule," said Yue Xuexia. Director Wang's face went white as he realized what Yue Xuexia had explained. He looked about for his phone, scared, and attempted to call the Old Master of the Wang Family, reporting what Eldest Miss Yue had informed him, even stumbling in the middle of his statement.@@@@ However, Director Wang discovered that Eldest Miss Yue's suspicions were true when he heard the Old Master's agitated and furious voice on the other end of the line; someone from Italy was, in fact, attempting to embezzle the shares of the Autumn Field Bank branch in that nation, and he had even learned that the Mafia was involved in this case. Old Master Tian ordered Director Wang and said, "Pass the phone to the little girl. I want to thank her myself." Director Wang responded overly politely on the phone. "Yes, sir. I will pass the phone to the Eldest Miss Yue." Director Wang stopped in front of Yue Xuexia, his back lowered as if meeting a senior executive of the company, yet he passed his phone in a submissive manner. "The Old Master Tian wishes to speak with Eldest Miss Yue. Please~" said Director Wang. "Is it Grandpa Tian?" Yue Xuexia mumbled as she accepted the phone and saw Old Tian Qiuji on the phone's monitor. It was a video specifically for Yue Xuexia. Only the Old Master of the Chen Family can list his face in front of such elders as they are of the same generation, which left Secretary Qu dumbfounded and unable to speak at the corner where he dared not move or reveal himself on the screen. Old Master Tian is someone who even has higher standing than his boss, Chen Huan. 'Damn! It is really Old Master Tian! The real one. But I remembered him as someone who was a stern English gentleman, but right now he was in front of Miss Yue. His old face couldn't help but be uplifted into a kind smile and doting gaze. Are they related by blood?' Thought of Secretary Qu at this scene. Yue Xuexia also smiled as she saw Old Master Tian on the screen. Director Wang was holding the phone before Yue Xuexia and let her talk without the hassle of holding the phone. "Grandpa Tian, Hello! It's Xuexia speaking~" [Hoho~ Yatou (little girl). This old man would thicken his face and call you Xue'er is that alright?] --- Yue Ruxia and Yue Jixia are still fine because they knew one of the visitors, and their parents were already aware of who those guests were, but Yue Xuexia was surprised to see her brothers and parents staring at her when she got back to the house. Papa Yue asked, "Are they gone? Have they finished their business?" "Yes, they've left. One of them is from the bank I've asked for our bank cards from Autumn Field Bank. Here is the customized card. There is no limit on swiping to pay or withdrawing money. Pa, Ma the navy blue and the Apple green are yours. If you lost it, tell me. The password for these cards is our birthdays. Xiao Ji, yours is the white one while the pink card is yours, Ruru." said Yue Xuexia. The five of them took their assigned cards and went to check on each other; Mama Yue noted that the card was made of light metal and that it felt cool to grip. Papa Yue asked, "No spending limit? Is it connected to your savings account?" "Yes. Don't worry, Pa. Just use it. My account had hundreds of millions in it anyway. Don't hesitate, my money is our money," said Yue Xuexia. When Yue Xuexia replied that her money is also theirs, Papa Yue and Mama Yue exchanged a look of happiness and abandoned their intentions to deny the existence of their cards. The Yue Couple said, "Okay we will keep it as you wish." Meanwhile, her two younger sisters had no complaints at all. Instead, they are very happy that they had their own atm card to swipe whenever they've gone shopping. Yue Ruxia and Yue Jixia said, "Thank you, Dajie!" as they jumped on her for a hug. When the two abruptly jumped on her, the ones in Yue Xuexia's arm dropped to the ground, and she tightly gripped the food box by the folders with information on the house that had fallen and scattered around the floor. Mama Yue scolded the two naughty daughters of hers, "Be careful. Can't you see your sister is holding something!" "Sorry~ QWQ" Yue Xuexia said, "It's okay, Ma. At least the pastries are safe." "Pastries? Let me see!" Everyone was delighted to see a variety of pastries and loaves of bread when Yue Xuexia opened the black box in her embrace. The most striking thing was how beautifully each wrapper and box was made, along with the chocolate croissants, eclairs, macaroons, cupcakes, and some cheese, ham, and meat-filled pieces of bread that adults would love to eat. Yue Jixia pulled a box of colorful macaroons and looked closely at the logo of Autumn Leaf on it. She instantly recognized the bakery and exclaimed, "Autumn Wonderland's Bakery and Café!? Then these pieces of bread are really expensive. I heard a single slice of their cake cost 3,000 rmb as the cheapest. Did you buy all these, Dajie?" Yue Xuexia shook her head and said, "No, it was a gift included from when the cards were delivered. Grandpa Tian gifts it to me." Papa Yue asked with a frown, "Who is Grandpa Tian?" With no other option, Yue Xuexia told them all about her encounter with Old Master Tian, revealing without holding back anything that she had once assisted him with his company's stocks and even extended an invitation to their entire family for afternoon tea. Her two sisters did not really care who the old man was, but when they learned that the owner of Autumn Wonderland's Bakery is actually his son, they became aware that the afternoon tea might take place in that opulent café that only the wealthy could afford. Mama Yue does not care or understand who the old man is. All she knows is that the old man is wealthy and kind to her eldest. On the other hand, Papa Yue is a little concerned. As a former elite Electrical Engineer, he had heard about the Tian Clan from the Capital. But never in his life would he expect that the old master of such a big clan was saved by his daughter. That afternoon tea invitation must not be ordinary. Papa Yue asked, "Did the old master say when is the afternoon tea scheduled?" "No. I told him we would talk about it first before deciding. At the very least we need to buy a new house first. That's why I had my assistant gather these. It was delivered today as well. Information about the house and lot which are for sale. Tell me if there is a house you are content with. I will buy it right away," said Yue Xuexia as she picked the fallen folders on the ground, her sisters helped pick them up. However, she took the information regarding the Moonlight Lake Mansion and let them select from the other options first; if they did not find anything appealing, she would then present the Moonlight Lake Mansion information.
