"A Korean conglomerate has established a new company in Jiangbei City, primarily dealing in medicinal herbs. Within half a day, they have acquired all the medicinal herbs in Jiangbei City and are now expanding into the entire Jiang Province. Their intention is clear: to monopolize the medicinal herb business!"
"Also, the Tang Corporation has experienced internal strife. Tang Shimin has been expelled from the Tang family, and the chairman of the Tang Corporation is now Tang Zixuan!"
Lin Guoxiong said indifferently. He knew that Lu Yang cared about Tang Shimin, so he immediately informed Lu Yang as soon as he received the news.
"Hmm? Tang Zixuan actually managed to get into a higher position? I didn't expect that. It seems Tang Zixuan has already fawned over the Korean conglomerate!"
"However, it won't have a significant impact on our Haitong Group. Since Han Cheng'en wants to have a good business war with me, I will let him know why flowers are so red. Monopolizing on China's territory is impossible!"
Lu Yang said coldly, showing no regard for Han Cheng'en of the Korean conglomerate.
However, he was anxious about Tang Shimin's safety, so he immediately took out his phone and called Tang Shimin.
"Lu Yang!"
Tang Shimin was sitting in a bar, drowning her sorrows. She had nothing now – no Lu Yang, no Tang Corporation, and even her parents were divorcing. Tang Shimin felt as if the sky was about to collapse.
"Why? Why is fate treating me like this?"
"If you were to make me lose my memory, then never let me wake up. If you were to let me wake up, then never let me recall those three years!"
"Heaven, why do you torment me!"
Tang Shimin felt extreme sorrow. Thinking that she had abandoned such a good man as Lu Yang and divorced him, her heart shattered into pieces like a glass cup.
Glass after glass of wine was consumed in the bar. In less than half an hour, a bottle of Remy Martin was finished.
"Waiter, bring me another bottle of wine!"
Tang Shimin shouted loudly, already drunk.
"Miss, you've had too much to drink. You can't drink anymore!"
The waiter politely advised Tang Shimin.
"Are you looking down on me too? I have money, I can afford it!"
Tang Shimin said, taking out her bank card.
"There are two million yuan in here. Swipe as much as you want. Today, I just want to get drunk!"
Tang Shimin continued.
The waiter had no choice but to bring another bottle of Remy Martin to Tang Shimin.
Tang Shimin ignored everything else, directly opened the bottle, and started drinking again.
Still glass after glass, still drowning her sorrows, still complaining about the unfairness of fate, but it was all in vain. What was lost was now too difficult to reclaim.
It was like if your favorite mirror was broken; even if you bought a new one, it wouldn't feel the same, and you wouldn't like it as much.
At this moment, a wealthy young master saw Tang Shimin, a beautiful woman, drinking alone and drunk. He immediately had the idea of taking advantage of her and walked up with a smile.
"Miss, are you alone?"
The young master asked Tang Shimin with a smile.
He was Song Longyuan, the only son of the Song family in Jiangbei City. He was also a playboy who enjoyed frequenting bars and picking up drunken women. The number of women who had fallen victim to him was countless. Moreover, many were not only defiled by Song Longyuan but also had numerous photos taken, eventually being forced to become Song Longyuan's playthings.
"Who are you?"
Although Tang Shimin was drunk, she still had a sliver of reason and asked Song Longyuan coldly.
"I am Song Longyuan, the eldest young master of the Song family in Jiangbei City. Miss, if you have anything unhappy, you can tell me, and I will help you solve your problems!"
Song Longyuan immediately said to Tang Shimin.
"The Song family? Aren't they just a second-rate family on par with our Tang family? What qualifications do you think you have to approach me? My husband is Lu Yang, the chairman of Haitong Group in Jiangbei City!"
Tang Shimin said with a cold sneer.
"Lu Yang? That useless live-in son-in-law?"
"Then you must be Tang Shimin, right? Rated as the most beautiful woman in Jiangbei City. It's a pity you married a good-for-nothing. I heard you're still a virgin. Do you want your brother to grace you?"
Upon hearing Tang Shimin's words, Song Longyuan immediately connected her identity. However, after carefully looking at Tang Shimin's face and figure, Song Longyuan was astonished for a long time. He never expected Tang Shimin to be so beautiful, and her figure was also extremely good. She could definitely be considered a top-tier beauty.
It was just that such a beauty had already divorced Lu Yang. This matter had spread throughout Jiangbei City, and he naturally knew about it, so he no longer had any reservations about Tang Shimin.
"Scram!"
Tang Shimin merely uttered a cold word and slumped onto the table, clearly having passed out from drunkenness.
"Haha, Tang Shimin, you belong to me today. I really want to see if a beauty like you is really a virgin!"
Seeing Tang Shimin collapse, Song Longyuan immediately sneered, then sat down beside Tang Shimin, picked her up, and was about to leave.
"Sir, do you have any relationship with this lady?"
At this moment, the waiter walked over and asked Song Longyuan.
"I am her boyfriend. Do you think I have any relationship?"
Song Longyuan retorted coldly to the waiter.
"Boyfriend? But I've always heard this lady say she doesn't have a boyfriend!"
The waiter continued.
"You, a mere waiter, dare to interfere in my business? Are you tired of living!"
As he spoke, two bodyguards walked over and blocked the waiter.
"Beat him for me! Let this idiot know who I am and that he, a small waiter, can't stop me!"
Song Longyuan immediately shouted at his two bodyguards.
Hearing Song Longyuan's words, the two bodyguards, without distinguishing right from wrong, began to punch and kick the waiter. Soon, the waiter was beaten unconscious.
Seeing this scene, the other waiters quickly reported the matter to the bar owner, Li Xiaohong. This bar was opened by Li Xiaohong.
Li Xiaohong walked forward, and seeing her subordinate beaten like this, her expression immediately turned grim.
"Young Master Song, beating my subordinate like this is a bit excessive, don't you think?"
Li Xiaohong, being tactful and knowing that Song Longyuan was not someone to be trifled with, said with a slight smile.
"Boss Li, this is your subordinate? Do you know what he did? A dog-like waiter dared to stop me. Wasn't he looking for death?"
Song Longyuan said coldly to Li Xiaohong.
As the eldest son of the Song family, Song Longyuan naturally did not put Li Xiaohong in his eyes. After all, Li Xiaohong's reputation had been notoriously bad before, and she had only recently started to restrain herself somewhat.
As for why she restrained herself, Song Longyuan naturally did not know.
"Young Master Song, no matter what, you are in the wrong. How about this, you give me one hundred thousand yuan as compensation for my waiter, and we'll let this matter go. What do you think?"
Li Xiaohong continued to say to Song Longyuan.
Hearing Li Xiaohong's words, Song Longyuan knew that his bodyguard had been a bit too heavy-handed, so he agreed.
"Fine, one hundred thousand yuan, and this matter will be settled!"
Just as Song Longyuan was swiping his card, he placed Tang Shimin aside. Li Xiaohong instantly recognized this woman. Wasn't this Tang Shimin, Lu Yang's ex-wife? Everything she had now was given by Lu Yang, including this bar. Now, Lu Yang's ex-wife was about to be taken advantage of in her bar. How could Li Xiaohong let Song Longyuan succeed?
