Quan Zhisui naturally knew who these four people were. Wei Shixu had shown her their profiles, allowing her to quickly match their nas to their faces.
The man was nad Xie Yu, and the three won were Fan Guxiang, Cui Juan, and Jiang He. They were her mother's university classmates from the finance departnt, and the three won had also been her mother's roommates.
Xie Yu patted Quan Zhisui's shoulder with a look of emotion, while Cui Juan and Jiang He held onto her tightly, refusing to let go. Fan Guxiang, overwheld with emotion, was crouched on the ground crying.
All four of them were speaking, their words fragnted, a mix of emotional release and plans for the imdiate future.
"We're sorry. We took so ti to investigate and confirm your identity before returning to the country."
"After all, the dostic scene isn't our main battlefield, and we face restrictions on all sides."
"There was so much interference—rumors about the Zuo Family, the Yan Family—it was almost impossible to keep track!"
"Those people have always had their eyes on Quan Feng's fortune."
"Little Quan Zhisui! We've finally t you!"
"Don't be afraid. We, your uncles and aunts, will always stand by your side!"
"Child, how have you been all these years?"
"..."
Quan Zhisui didn't know who to respond to first.
Finally, Xie Yu spoke up, "Alright, let's not talk in such a crowded place. Let's sit down and have a proper conversation."
The group got into the Wei family car and headed to the restaurant Wei Shixu had reserved. Wei Shixu himself remained in the car, waiting, occasionally pulling out his phone to handle matters unknown to Quan Zhisui.
At the restaurant, after they had settled in and before the food arrived, the four of them opened their briefcases and pulled out a stack of contracts and a locked box.
Xie Yu quickly explained, "Child, these are contracts. We ca back fully prepared."
Quan Zhisui: "..."
Xie Yu then pushed the box toward her. "Inside this are the password and key to a bank safety deposit box."
Quan Zhisui: "..."
Quan Feng had stored everything overseas, cutting off any possibility of Zuo Zhiyu getting his hands on it.
This series of events left Quan Zhisui utterly stunned.
She looked up, confused, and asked, "What are these contracts for...?"
Xie Yu replied, "You are the largest shareholder of the venture capital company! But you're not the legal representative, so you don't need to bear any responsibilities. Don't worry, your uncles and aunts may not have your mother's sharp judgnt, but over the years, we've built quite a legacy, far surpassing the current state of the Zuo Family Group!"
Quan Zhisui opened her mouth, then said, "I... I don't understand finance."
She was only in her third year of high school!
She wasn't a finance graduate like her mother!
What did she know? She was already struggling with math, physics, and chemistry!
Jiang He chid in, "The venture capital company's initial funding ca from your mother, and she personally handled the early investnts. This contract was drawn up from the start—all of this is yours, child!"
Fan Guxiang added, "Little Quan Zhisui, are you unsure? That's fine. We can have the legal departnt from Wei Corporation co over and go through everything in detail. They've already liaised with us overseas multiple tis. We can run through the process again."
Quan Zhisui rubbed her face. "No, it's not that I don't trust you."
Cui Juan asked, "Then what is it?"
Quan Zhisui explained, "I just feel like I don't understand finance. I don't have my mother's abilities. I'm just a high school student. I've only been living in the city for a year—before that, I spent seventeen years in the mountains. I didn't even have a phone until last year. Finance is so complicated, and I'm already overwheld by the information overload."
In this era of information explosion, Quan Zhisui had been living in seclusion. Suddenly being exposed to so much left her feeling lost and constrained, struggling to move forward.
She had been learning quickly and adapting well, but the sheer volu of information was impossible to digest all at once.
She didn't have much of a concept of money.
Fan Guxiang grew anxious, even standing up as she asked, "So you don't want these shares? You don't want the annual dividends?"
Quan Zhisui quickly looked up and said, "Oh, I want those."
The four of them couldn't help but laugh!
Xie Yu said, "I understand now. Little Quan Zhisui is afraid that her lack of knowledge might disrupt the company's operations?"
Quan Zhisui nodded. "I wouldn't dare make any reckless moves."
Zuo Zhiyu had ssed things up, causing the dostic venture capital firm to collapse.
Xie Yu reassured her, "Don't worry, the company isn't that fragile. When Quan Feng was around, we followed her lead, but now we have a complete strategy and plan in place. Every venture investnt is approached with caution."
Cui Juan also smiled. "We're shareholders too. We can't afford to lose money!"
Quan Zhisui finally breathed a sigh of relief. Before signing, she asked, "So I don't have to manage anything? I just get to collect the dividends?"
Xie Yu replied, "Well, you can do that, but we do hope that one day you'll take over the company and beco a leader."
Quan Zhisui sighed again. "I might not have the talent for it. Let's talk about it after I finish university."
Fan Guxiang quickly added, "Exactly! Why are we talking about this now? Don't put so much pressure on her! She hasn't even started university yet. Learning the professional knowledge will take ti."
The uncles and aunts seed eager to hand over the money to her.
After signing, Quan Zhisui asked, "Do I need to wait until I'm an adult?"
Cui Juan explained, "Yes, the contract only takes effect when you co of age. We couldn't wait any longer after confirming your identity. Quan Feng would have been heartbroken to know you've been living such a hard life all these years."
Xie Yu then pulled out a few more docunts. "After dinner, we'll go to the bank to open an account and transfer so money to your card."
Fan Guxiang added, "There are also several overseas properties and a private jet ready for you. Since your coming-of-age is just around the corner, we'll make sure to give you a proper adult ceremony!"
Quan Zhisui was shocked. "I have a private jet?!"
Xie Yu solemnly assured her, "You'll have everything you need!"
Quan Zhisui finally understood what it felt like to beco wealthy overnight. It was overwhelming.
In the end, she opened the locked box, which contained the key to the bank safety deposit box.
Jiang He said, "We don't know what's inside the bank. You'll have to see for yourself."
Quan Zhisui didn't go to check imdiately. Instead, she stayed to have dinner and chat with her uncles and aunts.
It wasn't until evening that the four reluctantly let her go. The next day, they would handle all the remaining formalities for her, completing the necessary procedures.
Under the streetlights at night.
Quan Zhisui, still in her school uniform from the day, clutched three cards in her hand, gazing blankly at the streets of Liangxi.
A black luxury car pulled up beside her, and the rear window slowly rolled down.
Wei Shixu smiled at her. "Get in?"
Quan Zhisui opened the door and sat inside.
In an instant, Wei Shixu took her hand and leaned in close. "Do you want to kiss ?"
Quan Zhisui reached out, her fingertips brushing his lips. She opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing, only letting out a soft, barely audible hum.
"Mmm..."
Wei Shixu: "Hmm?"
He hadn't heard her clearly.
Quan Zhisui withdrew her hand, closed her eyes, and leaned back in the seat. "I need so quiet."
"Alright," Wei Shixu said, leaning back as well.
She truly needed a long ti to think, to contemplate her future.
