Shen Zhu and Lu Yuzhou are similar in that they both took over their own companies directly after graduating from school.

But she is also different from Lu Yuzhou. She does not have Lu Yuzhou's ruthlessness, and her intelligence is slightly inferior. Fortunately, with the support of the "loyal ministers" left behind by Shen Fushan, she has time to grow and become the independent person she is now.

Having finally established his foothold, Shen Zhu did not want to do anything wrong in front of his peers as that would damage his reputation.

After reading those contracts, Shen Zhu knew that there was no way forward for this matter and he could only ask the finance department to find a suitable opportunity to transfer the money.

Fortunately, Xingchen was a small company that had just started to develop and explore, and did not have much money to give to the cinema. Although Shen's was losing money, it was not yet out of control.

"Let's do this for now." Having learned from his mistakes, Shen Zhu quietly issued instructions to the relevant departments of the company. From now on, all matters related to Wang Jing must be approved by him before they can be stamped and implemented.

On the other side, Ji Chenxing was still having fun in ancient times.

Today is the seventh day since she came to the ancient times. Tonight, she will bring the people of the Ji family back to the modern times.

Before that, she had to watch Jun Heng deal with Ji Zunxing and Ji Xueyao.

Jun Heng has to deal with the things of the Prince's Mansion, and the betrothal gift that Jun Jingrui gave to Ji Zunxing is also considered as the things of the Prince's Mansion.

Jun Jingrui did not marry Ji Chenxing, so he had to take back all the betrothal gifts that were carried out from the Prince's Mansion.

However, the property in Ji Zunxing's hands was not as much as written on Jun Jingrui's gift list. After the stealing and spending over the past two days, almost three-fifths of it had been consumed.

Ji Xueyao did not disappoint Ji Chenxing's expectations. As soon as she returned to Ji Zunxing, she began to covet his gold and silver artifacts.

Although Ji Zunxing had promised Ji Chenxing that he would no longer have any contact with Ji Xueyao, after all, Ji Xueyao was his daughter whom he had truly loved for so many years.

Seeing Ji Xueyao coming back from prison in tattered clothes, Ji Zunxing couldn't bear to drive her away, so he secretly stuffed some silver into her pocket and asked her to buy some nice things and dress herself up.

After receiving material and spiritual support from her father, Ji Xueyao, who had been imprisoned, began to engage in revenge consumption.

She had envied Ji Chenxing for a long time. Now that she finally had some money in her hands, she couldn't help but want to compare herself with Ji Chenxing and want the best of everything.

But she didn't know what the silver meant.

Ji Zunxing ignorantly dreamed of becoming the father-in-law of an emperor, and Ji Xueyao also thought that with Ji Zunxing's favor, she would eventually be able to live a better life than before.

Little did they know that the eunuchs who were counting the palace’s property were already on their way.

"Ji Zunxing, are you alright?"

The person who came was the one who served Jun Heng in the palace; he was an apprentice brought up by the old eunuch himself, and this visit was also an opportunity for the young eunuch to train himself.

When Ji Zunxing saw the young eunuch bringing a group of people to him, he was stunned.

"Little Guizi, why are you here? Did His Majesty ask you to come, or did the princess ask you to come?"

His voice sounded surprised and happy, as if he had seen himself being reused by Jun Heng again and having an infinitely bright future.

He even couldn't help but omit the word "father-in-law" in his address to show his noble status.

The young eunuch said "Yo~", obviously not satisfied with Ji Zunxing's address. In the palace, only the masters can address the eunuchs like this, what kind of person is Ji Zunxing?

When Ji Zunxing was a general, he looked down on them and often used the word "eunuch" to address them. Many eunuchs in the palace were dissatisfied with Ji Zunxing. Now he is just a commoner, but he still thinks of himself as the master... Xiao Guizi knew that he didn't need to be nice to Ji Zunxing.

"Why don't you guess, Master Ji, why did I come to see you today?"

Xiao Guizi sarcastically changed the address to "Master Ji".

Instead of hearing any irony in this, Ji Zunxing felt even more proud, thinking that his guess was correct and that his hard work had finally paid off.

"The emperor sent you here, right?" Ji Zunxing's heart and eyes were filled with joy that he could not hide.

Ji Zunxing praised himself in his heart for being so wise. He surrendered to Ji Chenxing in time and passed Ji Chenxing's assessment, which made his life better.

He did not at all connect the things in his hands that came from Jun Jingrui with the dethronement of the crown prince.

He was even secretly glad that now, even if he didn't marry Ji Chenxing to Jun Jingrui, Jun Jingrui would not be able to cause trouble for him.

It’s a double happiness!
"I'll pack my things right now. I'll go into the palace with you."

Ji Zunxing was so happy that he didn't know what to do.

Xiao Guizi laughed and said, "Ji Zunxing, you won't have to make this trip this time. His Majesty wants to confiscate all the property in the Prince's Mansion. You just need to hand over the things that the Prince gave you to me."

Ji Zunxing was stunned, "Are you kidding me?"

"How is that possible!" Xiao Guizi waved his hand and pointed at the people following behind him, "Move everything here back."

Ji Zunxing couldn't figure out what was going on and became flustered again.

"This is the betrothal gift from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the Princess. How can you just move away like that?"

Ji Zunxing had been in poverty for so long and finally became rich, but he didn't expect that he was just a passing god of wealth. His gold, silver and treasures were taken away by others before they could even warm up to him.

"Stop talking about the prince. Jun Jingrui has been demoted to a commoner. You are not afraid of violating taboos by calling him Your Highness." Xiao Guizi did not give Ji Zunxing a good look and said bluntly, "The emperor ordered us to move these things. If you have any objections, go and talk to the emperor."

"How can I see the emperor?" Ji Zunxing exclaimed, "Oh!" and stamped his feet in anger. He still wanted to fight for it, so he brought up Ji Chenxing's name.

"The emperor wants to take away my betrothal gifts. Does the princess know about this?" He thought for a moment and said, "These are all for the princess, and they can be considered her things..."

Xiao Guizi interrupted Ji Zunxing, "Her Highness never said that these were her things and asked us to do as she told us. But I want to ask you, are these all the things you received from Jun Jingrui? Are there any other things?"

Ji Zunxing was displeased. The emperor wanted to confiscate his things, but Ji Chenxing didn't know how to stop him. Didn't she know what so much wealth represented? It was enough for him to spend until his next life.

"That's all." Ji Zunxing spoke angrily.

These things were left here overnight and some of them were stolen. Ji Zunxing returned some to Ji Xueyao, but the amount was no longer the same as at the beginning.

He was too lazy to pay attention to the little eunuch, and naturally didn't want to tell him these things. He just wanted to send the man away quickly.

"In that case, I will go report to the Emperor. If the numbers don't match, it's none of my business." (End of this chapter)
