"Grandma, we've both signed the contract with them. Can those people still back out?" Tang Xiangdong said unwillingly.
Grandma sneered and said, "Don't tell me you don't know who the real owner behind Weishui Real Estate is! With the Tang Family's limited assets, what can you do to them? Even if they compensate you in front of you, do you dare to accept it?"
Grandma's words stunned everyone in the Tang Family. Just like she said, even if they compensate you, do you dare to accept it? Because behind Weishui Real Estate is the Beijing Su Family!
"Only Tang Qiulu can turn this around, so you two make sure to handle it!" Grandma finished speaking and walked away angrily.
The other relatives in the Tang Family looked differently at Tang Xiangdong. They realized that after this situation, Tang Qiulu's prestige in the group would quickly rise, potentially threatening Tang Xiangdong's position.
They used to flatter Tang Xiangdong because he was the most likely candidate for the chairman position. However, judging by this mistake, Tang Xiangdong's image in Grandma's heart will certainly decline, and ultimately, who will be the chairman is now uncertain.
"Donglin, it's up to you now. We can't help you much."
"That's right, we're powerless too. Grandma is really angry. I suggest you think about how to solve it."
"We have other things to do, so we're leaving now."
Everyone left just like that.
The huge conference room was left with only Tang Zhenbang and Tang Xiangdong.
Tang Zhenbang's face turned pale with anger, and he said viciously, "I don't know what benefits Tang Qiulu gave Cheng Shi. Look at your position in the group, he gave you no face at all."
Tang Xiangdong almost clenched his teeth, he sneered and said, "Tang Qiulu probably put a green hat on that coward. Tang Qiulu is really a bitch, who would have thought!"
"Anyway, she has to take the lead on this. Grandma always follows through." Tang Zhenbang sighed.
Just thinking about having to ask that Tang Qiulu for help made Tang Xiangdong's head hurt. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have called Tang Qiulu last night, feeling pleased. But look how quickly he got slapped in the face.
"Looks like I have to call that bitch now."
Tang Xiangdong took out his phone, found Tang Qiulu's number and dialed it.
This matter is no small affair. If Cheng Shi chooses another partner, the Tang Family is really done.
Tang Qiulu was ordered by Grandma to take a day off today. Because of this, she was in a foul mood, sitting in the living room watching TV when someone called her.
Just as Tang Qiulu was about to pick up the phone, Su Changfeng snatched it away.
"Tang Xiangdong is calling. I'll answer it for you." Su Changfeng said.
Tang Qiulu didn't know what Su Changfeng intended, but since he said this, she naturally didn't ask further.
"Qiulu, come to the group immediately now." Su Changfeng turned on the speakerphone, and Tang Xiangdong's voice came through.
Hearing Tang Xiangdong's voice, Tang Qiulu was extremely angry. This bastard bragged on the phone for half the night last night, and now he wants to humiliate her in front of the whole group?
Just as she was about to speak, Su Changfeng gestured for her not to.
"Qiulu is sick." Su Changfeng said.
Upon hearing it was Su Changfeng answering, Tang Xiangdong became very impatient: "Let Tang Qiulu answer, you don't have a say here."
"Oh." Su Changfeng finished and hung up the phone, even turning it off.
"What are you doing?" Tang Qiulu asked.
"Tang Xiangdong is seeking your help. Cheng Shi probably didn't cooperate with him, so now he wants you to negotiate." Su Changfeng said.
Tang Qiulu was stunned and said, "Really?"
"Would I trick you?"
Tang Qiulu stood up anxiously and said, "Then let's hurry!"
"Even if you're anxious, you don't need to be. The most anxious person right now is Tang Xiangdong. Grandma is probably very angry now. Tang Xiangdong is begging you for help. This guy stole your cooperation with shady tactics. Do you want to let him off so easily?" Su Changfeng said.
Tang Qiulu still didn't understand Su Changfeng. This cooperation is very crucial for the Tang Family. If handled well, it could certainly boost her prestige within the family. If delayed and something unexpected happens, Tang Xiangdong can't escape, but she probably wouldn't be in a good situation either.
"So what do I do now?" Tang Qiulu asked.
"Wait, let that guy come and beg you. Now is the perfect opportunity for your revenge." Su Changfeng said with a smile.
"But..."
"Don't worry. Don't forget my relationship with the boss of Weishui Real Estate. Even if it's delayed, there's no problem at all." Su Changfeng explained.
Only then did Tang Qiulu react, staring blankly at Su Changfeng, then she leaned back on the sofa and said softly, "Su Changfeng, who would've thought you were so cunning."
...
In a rage, Tang Xiangdong threw the phone on the ground after Su Changfeng hung up on him.
"That coward dared to hang up on me, where did he get the nerve!" Tang Xiangdong shouted angrily.
Tang Zhenbang's heart sank. If Tang Qiulu wouldn't step up, everything would be over.
"Donglin, what's the situation? Isn't Tang Qiulu coming out?" Tang Zhenbang asked.
Tang Xiangdong sneered coldly and said, "It's Su Changfeng. He said Tang Qiulu is sick."
"Sick?" Tang Zhenbang spat, then said disdainfully, "That bitch is pretending to be sick on purpose! Deliberately avoiding this issue."
Even though he was very angry, Tang Zhenbang's intelligence didn't drop. Regardless, they must make sure Tang Qiulu steps up. While cooperation isn't much, if they are kicked out of the Tang Family, it will be a disaster.
"Donglin, go, Dad will go with you." Tang Zhenbang said.
Tang Xiangdong's face was cold. Su Changfeng dared to hang up on him; now he was filled with anger and had to go settle this.
Arriving at the community where Tang Qiulu lived, Tang Zhenbang's face showed a look of disgust.
"Living in such a place, really the least valuable Tang family member."
"Dad, Tang Qiulu's family should be content with having a place to live at all. Her salary is so little; can this family live in Xianwu Mountain Villa District?" Tang Xiangdong said with a face of mockery.
Xianwu Mountain Villa, living in that place is absolutely a symbol of one's or a family's status.
