Rich Parents Found Me After I Got a Tycoon System? Yeah, I'm Not Interested

But Yun Zijin could understand. After all, this groundbreaking ceremony of hers wasn’t strictly a formal banquet. Besides, her roots in Dijing were still shallow. The fact that anyone from Dijing’s four great families showed up was already a sign of respect.

Countless people had sent them invitations to birthday banquets, victory celebrations, and the like, only to not even see a shadow of their family’s branch members. These situations were all too common.

Once everyone had arrived, Yun Zijin, arm in arm with Lu Yunque, quickly made her way to the center seat Mei Lin had specially reserved for her.

Mei Lin had arranged the front row for those closest to Yun Zijin. Lu Yunque’s seat was right next to Yun Zijin’s, followed by Li Yuexing, Sheng Hao, Fu Ze, and other friends who knew her well.

On the other side were the two elders from the Lu Family and two from the Huo family, followed by Lu Xianzhang and his wife, and then the members of the four great families: Lu, Sheng, Li, and Fu.

The people behind them were seated in order according to Mei Lin’s arrangement.

At this moment, the host walked onto the stage.

"Hello! Good afternoon, distinguished guests! I’m your host for today, Li Li. Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this groundbreaking ceremony for the one and only manor of its kind in the nation! A round of applause!"

The audience smiled and applauded, and Yun Zijin raised her hands to join in.

"And now, it’s time for a grand introduction to the owner of the manor at the heart of today’s special ceremony. She is none other than the legend herself, the owner of countless properties, Dijing’s renowned rent-collecting tycoon—Miss Yun Zijin!"

By now, Yun Zijin’s reputation as a mega-landlady was thoroughly established throughout Dijing.

Others might not understand what Yun Zijin’s properties represented, but everyone present was sharp and shrewd.

As Dijing’s premier rent-collecting tycoon, Yun Zijin was, without a doubt, a walking pile of cash.

Many people began to wonder if they could get Yun Zijin to invest in their own projects—the ones that had been forced to a halt due to a lack of funding.

After all, her liquid capital was so abundant, she probably wouldn’t mind plugging their funding gaps a little.

If Yun Zijin knew what they were thinking, she would probably have just one thing to say to them: ’Pfft! You’re nothing special to look at, but you sure have some beautiful dreams.’

Cued by the host, Yun Zijin stood and acknowledged the crowd.

"Next, let’s welcome the owner of the manor, Miss Yun, to give a speech for today’s groundbreaking ceremony!"

As the host finished speaking, he stepped aside, yielding the center of the stage. Yun Zijin walked forward to the microphone, and a staff member came up to adjust its height for her.

"Good afternoon, everyone. I’m Yun Zijin. First of all, I’m delighted that you all could accept the invitation to attend this groundbreaking ceremony.

To be honest, I never expected to be able to hold this groundbreaking ceremony here today.

The idea started on a whim, but I was very lucky to receive the permit to build a manor."

"Miss Yun, I have a question, though I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to ask!"

Yun Zijin was only halfway through her sentence when someone raised their hand and interrupted her.

Looking at the person who had spoken, Yun Zijin kept her expression neutral. "Since you already know it’s not appropriate to ask, I don’t think there’s any need to ask it."

’Yun Zijin was no pushover. It was obvious that someone who would interrupt her mid-speech wasn’t about to ask a pleasant question. She had thought that with Mei Lin handling the invitations, the guest list would have been properly screened, but it seemed one had slipped through the cracks. This guy was just too good at hiding his true colors.’

However, since the man had already spoken up, he clearly had no intention of backing down. "We’re all very curious, Miss Yun. How exactly did you obtain the permit to build a completely non-profit manor? Surely Miss Yun wouldn’t be so stingy as to refuse to tell us something so small?"

The more the man spoke, the wider his smile grew, making him look more and more like a creep.

Yun Zijin glanced at the man. "I just submitted an application, and who knew? They stamped it and approved it.

As for why they approved it, I’m just an ordinary citizen. I have no way of knowing the reason.

You seem to be well-connected, sir. Perhaps you could look into it?"

’Of course, she couldn’t tell him the truth. But she really had submitted an application, and the relevant department had indeed stamped its approval. The paperwork was absolutely flawless. Anyone trying to find a weakness to exploit would come up empty-handed.’

"You jest, Miss Yun. I’m just an ordinary citizen myself."

A person who could ask such a question must have already investigated. It was only because he hadn’t found anything that he was asking about it today.

He couldn’t very well tell Yun Zijin: Hey, I investigated you but couldn’t dig up anything, so can you just tell me the reason?

Even a fool would know not to ask something like that out loud.

Yun Zijin rolled her eyes internally. ’If you were just an ordinary citizen, you wouldn’t be asking me this question today.’

All this time spent dealing with him was cutting into the auspicious hour. She definitely wouldn’t have time to finish her prepared speech now. To make it in time for the auspicious moment, Yun Zijin hurriedly concluded her remarks.

The host, Li Li, returned to the stage to continue with the program.

"Thank you for that wonderful speech, Miss Yun. If you could just wait a moment longer—next up is our ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Let’s welcome today’s ribbon-cutting guests: our manor owner, Miss Yun; Miss Yun’s assistant, Miss Mei Lin! The President of Lu Group, Lu Yunque! The President of Li Group, Li Yuexing! The President of Fu Group, Fu Ze! The President of Sheng Group, Sheng Hao! And our special guest of honor today—Mr. Lu Zhengguo!"

The quality of the ribbon-cutting guests was more important than the quantity. Yun Zijin had discussed the choices with Lu Yunque and the others. To avoid the chaos of having too many people, they ultimately decided on these few, most representative individuals.

Yun Zijin and Lu Yunque flanked Old Sir Lu. Li Yuexing and Fu Ze stood beside Lu Yunque, while Mei Lin and Sheng Hao were on Yun Zijin’s side.

With the host spouting an endless stream of flowery compliments, the seven guests cut the ribbon to the sound of popping confetti. They quickly finished the ceremony and returned to their seats.

The rest of the time was for mingling.

This groundbreaking ceremony had gathered everyone from Dijing’s four great families and Five Small Families, as well as the Situ Family, a financial conglomerate from France.

It was safe to say that countless people would be networking for their businesses today.

Yun Zijin, however, disliked networking. After the ribbon-cutting was over, she planned to find a corner and enjoy some peace and quiet.

Lu Yunque and the other men were currently surrounded and couldn’t get away. Yun Zijin, Su Mengyao, Qin Sitong, and Tu Tutu quickly assembled, locked onto an empty corner, and each found a seat.

"Wow! You know, when I first heard you were holding a groundbreaking ceremony, I was wondering what on earth you were thinking.

But then when I found out it was for your *manor*, my jaw nearly hit the floor.

I’m so impressed by you!"

The moment she sat down, Tu Tutu’s talkative nature revealed itself.

"You’re not the only one. This is the one and only in all of Hua Country. When I first heard about it, I couldn’t believe it either."

Su Mengyao was well aware of how special this manor was—it was the kind of thing that could go down in the history books.
