The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot

Chapter 119: 116 Daddy Ying: Lorentz Family Patriarch, my younger brother [1 more update]

It wasn’t a name of a person, nor was it an address.

But, it was a name that could shake all the financial consortiums and families around the world.

In Hua Country, there might be people who don’t know of the Fu Family and the Zhong Family, or the Nie Family and the Mu Family, but absolutely no one would be unaware of the Lorentz Family.

Because the only international bank with businesses all over the globe was founded by the Lorentz Family.

The daily income of Lorentz Bank far exceeded the annual revenue of other banks.

It almost dominated the global economy.

No one knew exactly how much wealth the Lorentz Family possessed, but it was certain that being rich enough to rival nations was an understatement.

The sender’s name on the box plunged both Old Master Zhong and Steward Zhong into a deep silence.

After a long while, it was Old Master Zhong who slowly lifted his head, a beat behind, to break the silence, “The Lorentz Family… is it the one we know of?”

Steward Zhong still seemed to be in a dream, he responded blankly, “No… could it be?”

What kind of existence was the Lorentz Family?

The number one family in the world!

Forget Zhong Corporation, even if you combined all the major wealthy families in the capital, they still wouldn’t compare to the Lorentz Family.

The Lorentz Family personally sending something to their Zhong Family?

That would be a joke if it got out.

Old Master Zhong also felt it was unlikely, he frowned and looked again, as if he had discovered something, “Wait a minute.”

He took out his phone and entered the four characters of the Lorentz Family into the search bar of a webpage.

What came up first was the family history of the Lorentz Family.

The Lorentz Family rose to power in the 15th century and remained one of the most powerful and esteemed families in O-continent until the mid-18th century, with a succession of talented people.

For three centuries, the Lorentz Family ruled the large O-continent city of Jade Ice Cui and, during these hundreds of years, the Lorentz Family had also sponsored many great masters of the arts.

Behind the name Qinuo Feng, resonating around the world, was the support of the Lorentz Family.

Without the Lorentz Family, perhaps even with Qinuo Feng’s talent, he would still have been buried in obscurity.

But for some unknown reason, in the mid to late 18th century, the Lorentz Family suddenly declined overnight, nearly vanishing completely.

And in the past nearly one hundred years, this ancient family has re-emerged into the public eye.

They swiftly took control of the global economic lifeline, spreading Lorentz Bank all over the world.

The rise and fall of the Lorentz Family remain an unsolved mystery to this day.

Old Master Zhong knew this kind of thing that would be taught in history textbooks very well; there was no need to look further.

He flipped through the encyclopedia’s photo album and finally found the image he had been searching for.

The picture was of a golden throne, matched with a crown.

It was sacred and regal, inviolable, displaying the strength and prosperity of the world’s first family.

This was the crest of the Lorentz Family.

It was identical to the pattern Old Master Zhong had seen on the box.

With industries and influence under the Lorentz Family banner spanning the globe, no one dared to impersonate the Lorentz Family.

Because once impersonated, it would take only minutes to be caught.

And once caught, they could forget about getting by anywhere.

Old Master Zhong fell silent again, murmuring, “It really is from the Lorentz Family.”

This world had indeed gone mad.

But why would the Lorentz Family send them something?

“Old Master,” Steward Zhong picked up a card, “there’s also a bank card here.”

“Hand it over,” Master Zhong took it and after thinking it over seriously, he asked, “Do we have someone named Cola Milk Tea Fries here?”

No, the point was, who would choose a name like “Cola Milk Tea Fries”?

How much could they possibly eat?

It must be a little fatty.

With puzzled feelings, Old Master Zhong continued to read.

The bank card bore beautiful handwritten script.

[To dear Cola Milk Tea Fries, the King of Kings Icy Jadeite you requested has been delivered. This is a small token from our master.

If possible, we hope to get to know you and look forward to the day when we might see you in Jade Ice Cui.

At that time, our master shall cheers with you.]

The signature was Job Laurent.

Obviously, it should be a servant from the Lorentz Family.

“Ice-type Jadeite?” Old Master Zhong was momentarily taken aback, his expression suddenly turned solemn, “Is there ice-type jadeite inside this box?”

Steward Zhong was also surprised, “Old Master, Miss Cousin seemed to mention that a courier would arrive today, could it be… ”

The door happened to be knocked at that moment.

The girl walked in, nodding to the two men, “Grandfather, Steward Grandfather.”

“Oh, Zijin,” Old Master Zhong pushed his reading glasses up and beckoned hastily, “Come here and see if this is your courier.”

Upon hearing this, Ying Zijin glanced at the ostentatiously packaged box: “…”

Compared to before, the style hadn’t changed much.

She naturally knew that the reward she had issued was taken up by the Lorentz Family.

And once the Lorentz Family took up the reward, other users naturally wouldn’t compete for it.

Although many big shots in the hidden sections tended to deliberately conceal their identities, the Lorentz Family never did.

After all, if someone asked them to stay low-key, they wouldn’t even know how to do it.

The Lorentz Family hadn’t asked for the reward money she posted, so she hadn’t given it to them.

Surprisingly, the person who owed her gold was being generous.

“It’s mine,” Ying Zijin nodded slightly, “Thank you, Grandpa, for signing for me.”

“What’s there to thank.” Old Master Zhong waved his hand grandly but then asked a question he was very curious about, “Zijin, do you know the… what’s it called… Ruler of the Lorentz Family?”

The bank card was inscribed with “My Family’s Master.”

It goes without saying who this ‘Master’ is.

Ying Zijin fell silent for a moment, “Don’t they do business? As long as you have money, you can buy it.”

On careful consideration, Old Master Zhong thought that made sense.

There was such a rumor.

The Lorentz Family’s Ruler valued money as his life, the type of person who could only sleep on a pile of gold.

Anyone who gave him money would naturally make him happy.

Thinking this, Old Master Zhong breathed a long sigh of relief.

So that was it.

He had been scared to death, thinking that his granddaughter had become so influential that she’d penetrated the inner circle of the Lorentz Family.

Thinking about it, the Lorentz Family’s stronghold was far in Jade Ice Cui, separated from Hua Country by who knows how far.

Old Master Zhong thought of another question and hesitated, “But what about the Ice-type Jade?”

“We can’t get it back from the Ten Directions Realm now,” Ying Zijin said lightly, “I’m thinking of carving a new one.”

“Carve a new one?” Master Zhong was taken aback, “How will you carve it?”

“Hmm, offhand.”

“…”

Old Master Zhong was choked up.

His granddaughter was joking with him again.

“Don’t worry, Grandpa.” Ying Zijin picked up the case and walked towards the stairs, “In four days, the Ten Directions Realm will be there.”

Old Master Zhong was really confused.

It took him quite a while before he suddenly came to his senses.

How did his granddaughter, a single person, carry away a case that required two grown men to move?

**

On the second floor, inside the room.

Ying Zijin unpacked the case, moving the Raw Jadeite Stone onto the work desk.

Ice-type Jade was the king of kings among jades, clear and transparent, hence the name “Ice-type.”

The fewer impurities in the stone, the better the quality.

And this piece of Ice-type Jade had not a single impurity and was even more precious than the original stone used in the actual Ten Directions Realm.

Ying Zijin took out a carving knife and other engraving tools that she had prepared in her backpack.

Without using a ruler, she simply used her eyes to measure this piece of Ice-type Jade.

The reason the Ten Directions Realm became the Treasure of the Zhenzhai in the Jade Pavilion was that on this not-so-large original stone, the carver had engraved eighty-eight Buddhas.

And each one was vivid, with distinct expressions.

Ying Zijin had asked Elder Zhong about it.

Fifty years ago, it took a master jade carver three months to complete the Ten Directions Realm, even with the help of several apprentices.

It’s no wonder that after the DK Consortium stole the Ten Directions Realm, they were so certain it couldn’t be reproduced.

But to bring out a new Ten Directions Realm in four days should be possible.

She actually hadn’t learned Hua Country’s carving techniques; she learned it in O continent, but they were quite similar.

Ying Zijin lowered her eyelashes, picked up an engraving pen, and based on the images, began to draw the contours of the eighty-eight Buddhas on the Raw Jadeite Stone.

**

Because she had to carve the Raw Jadeite Stone overnight, Ying Zijin took a week’s leave of absence from school.

Actually, as a student of the special Class 19, it was more unusual not to take leave.

It was so surprising that the head teacher, upon receiving the leave application, was shocked and went to the principal’s office to verify it.

He handed over the leave application, “Principal, do you think this is real?”

“Oh, this,” the principal didn’t take it, but just glanced at it, “It’s real, Classmate Ying has asked me for leave too, let’s do it by the book then.”

He Xun was standing nearby; he had been discussing the internal interviews at Norton University with the principal when he heard this and took a look as well.

Nearing exam time, yet asking for a week off.

With that, she still expected to pass any subject in the mid-term exams?
