"What… what do you want?"
Song Longyuan, who had never suffered such an injury, was on the verge of death. Lying in a pool of blood, he asked Liu Hui weakly.
"One hundred million, and today's matter is over. Otherwise, call your father to collect your corpse!"
Liu Hui threatened coldly.
"I'll pay, I'll pay!"
Upon hearing this, Song Longyuan was so terrified that he lost his wits. He quickly took out his phone and made a call.
"Dad, hurry and save me, save me!"
Song Longyuan yelled into the phone.
At this time, Song Longyuan's father, Song Guoqiang, was having dinner with friends. Hearing his son's cry for help, his face instantly changed.
"Long'er, what happened?"
Song Guoqiang immediately asked.
"I was beaten. You quickly bring a hundred million, or he'll kill me!"
"At… at the Hongxing Bar!"
Song Longyuan continued.
"What? That son of a bitch ate bear bile and had the guts to beat a member of our Song family? Long'er, wait for me, I'm coming to save you right away!"
Song Guoqiang's face turned extremely grim. He couldn't eat any more and immediately rushed towards the Hongxing Bar with his men.
However, when Song Guoqiang arrived at the Hongxing Bar, he saw his son lying on the ground, and Liu Hui standing there smoking. He broke out in a cold sweat.
Liu Hui, of course, he knew. With the strength of his Song family, they had no qualifications to confront the chairman of the Hongmen Jiang Province branch.
"Mr. Liu Hui, is there some misunderstanding?"
Song Guoqiang asked with an embarrassed expression.
"Misunderstanding?"
"Your son was caught abducting a respectable woman on the street, and I happened to see it. I taught him a lesson. Is there a misunderstanding?"
Liu Hui looked at Song Guoqiang and said coldly.
"What? Song Longyuan, you damn idiot, you did such a thing! I've always taught you to be a good person, but I didn't expect you to do such wicked things! You deserve to be taught a lesson by Mr. Liu Hui!"
After hearing Liu Hui's words, Song Guoqiang immediately cursed his son loudly. Then he turned to Liu Hui and said sincerely, "Mr. Liu Hui, how do you want this handled? I will definitely obey your orders!"
"One hundred million to compensate for the bar's losses!"
Liu Hui said lightly.
"Yes!"
Song Guoqiang immediately found Li Xiaohong, transferred one hundred million, and then took his son away.
Liu Hui, on the other hand, took Tang Shimin and headed directly to Cloud Top Villa.
At this time, Lu Yang had already returned to Cloud Top Villa. Seeing Tang Shimin so drunk, his heart ached as if pricked by a needle.
He had known Tang Shimin for so many years, and this was the first time he had seen her so drunk, as if she wanted to drink herself to death.
The moment Lu Yang placed Tang Shimin on the bed, her hand suddenly grabbed Lu Yang's. In her daze, Tang Shimin seemed to be dreaming.
"Lu Yang, don't go, don't go!"
Lu Yang glanced at Tang Shimin, confirmed that she was not awake, and then put her hand back into the quilt. He whispered, "Shimin, rest assured here, I won't leave!"
Lu Yang sat by Tang Shimin's side until dawn, and then Tang Shimin woke up the next day.
"Lu Yang?"
"Where am I?"
Tang Shimin rubbed her head and asked drowsily.
"Cloud Top Villa. You were too drunk last night, and my people sent you here!"
Lu Yang looked at Tang Shimin and said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, Lu Yang, for causing you trouble. I'll leave now!"
As Tang Shimin spoke, she quickly got up to leave. However, she had drunk too much wine yesterday. When she stood up abruptly, she lost her balance and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Lu Yang was quick-witted and caught her.
"It's not trouble. Just stay here with peace of mind. Your company, I'll help you get it back!"
Lu Yang continued.
"No need. I don't want Tang's Company anymore. I've also seen through the ugly faces of those people in the Tang family. It's good to be kicked out. From now on, I have nothing to do with the Tang family!"
Tang Shimin said directly, her heart broken. After careful consideration, Tang Shimin severed ties with the Tang family.
"Since you think so, then I naturally support you. If you want to work, you can go to Haitong Group. I'm planning to set up a new company and we need staff. How about you go to the new company?"
Lu Yang thought for a moment and said to Tang Shimin.
"This…"
Tang Shimin hesitated instantly. She knew that Lu Yang had already helped her enough, and that Lu Yang had many women around him who were very outstanding. As someone who had been through it, Tang Shimin could naturally see that those women admired Lu Yang greatly. As for herself, she was just Lu Yang's ex-wife. Before regaining her memory, she might have thought of relying on Lu Yang to get ahead. But after regaining her memory, Tang Shimin no longer had such thoughts.
She deeply felt that she was no longer worthy of Lu Yang. Such a good man should have a better woman, like Shen Yiman. She was the one who had hurt Lu Yang the most, and she dared not hope to remarry Lu Yang.
"Don't hesitate anymore. Haven't you always wanted to achieve your ideals and ambitions? Since Tang's Company cannot help you achieve them, then I will help you. Don't worry, I won't favor you. Whether you work well or poorly is your own business. I'm just providing you with a platform!"
Lu Yang looked at Tang Shimin and continued.
"Alright, I'll work hard!"
Tang Shimin finally strengthened her resolve and nodded at Lu Yang.
"Mmm!"
"Then you rest first. After the company's procedures are all completed, I'll notify you to start working!"
Lu Yang smiled slightly and left Tang Shimin's room.
Looking at Lu Yang's departing back, Tang Shimin silently clenched her delicate fists.
"Lu Yang, don't worry, I will definitely work very hard and make your company the best!"
Tang Shimin vowed in her heart.
…
As Lu Yang walked out of Tang Shimin's room, he unexpectedly ran into Shen Yiman. It was obvious that Shen Yiman had been waiting for a long time.
"What? Meeting your old flame again?" Shen Yiman asked Lu Yang with a cold smile.
"Yiman, you've misunderstood. Shimin was drunk last night and was almost taken away by bad guys, so I found someone to bring her here!"
"You should have heard about Tang's Company. Shimin is now homeless. I'm just helping her out of our past affection. I don't have any other intentions!"
Lu Yang immediately explained to Shen Yiman. After all, Shen Yiman was now Lu Yang's girlfriend, the kind of relationship where both parties had feelings for each other, and only the final step was needed to confirm it.
"I knew it. You're too soft-hearted, always good to everyone. If you were this good to me, I would be willing to die contentedly!"
Shen Yiman sighed and said softly.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, don't talk about dying or anything, it's too inauspicious. Don't worry, I'll treat you even better. Let's go, it's time for work!"
Lu Yang smiled slightly, got into the car, and took Shen Yiman to work.
Sitting in his office, Lu Yang kept thinking about the matter of the Goryeo chaebol targeting the entire Jiang Province for the acquisition of medicinal herbs. He had already guessed how the Goryeo chaebol planned to act. It would be to hoard all the medicinal herbs and then sell them when the market was short of supply, thus driving up prices and making exorbitant profits.
Moreover, on the other hand, it was also to strike at Lu Yang.
This was just the beginning. The medicinal herb company was only the first step the Goryeo chaebol had taken in Jiangbei City. Once they gained a foothold in Jiangbei City, they would start targeting Haitong Group.
Lu Yang naturally would not allow the Goryeo chaebol to succeed.
"Since you want to acquire a large amount of medicinal herbs to make exorbitant profits, then I'll do the opposite. I'll severely suppress the stock prices of medicinal herb companies, driving them to rock bottom. I don't believe those large medicinal herb companies can withstand it?"
Lu Yang sneered and said to himself.
