"Is it appropriate?"
"Hahaha!"
Upon hearing Lu Yang's words, many people couldn't help but laugh.
"Slap!"
Tang Zixuan slammed the table and roared at Lu Yang, "You good-for-nothing, do you have any right to speak here?"
"Get out immediately, you've been kicked out of the Tang family!"
However, as soon as Tang Zixuan finished speaking, Tang Ziqi's phone rang.
"Grandpa, it's Wang Kexin, the secretary to the chairman of Haitong Group!"
"Perhaps Haitong Group has a change of heart!"
Seeing the call, Tang Ziqi said excitedly.
"Then what are you waiting for? Answer it quickly!"
"Turn on the speakerphone!"
Tang Yuan immediately said.
"Mhm!"
Tang Ziqi responded and quickly answered the call.
"Secretary Wang, are you calling to continue our cooperation with the Tang family?"
"Continue cooperation? Hehe, you think too highly of yourself. Your Tang family has quite the nerve, actually coming to my company to harass me. Do you not take me seriously at all? Such behavior has caused me psychological trauma and greatly damaged our company's image. We have already reported it to the police. I'm informing you now to give you a heads-up, so you don't let that scoundrel escape, otherwise, your Tang family will be charged with harboring a criminal!"
Wang Kexin said coldly.
"What?"
Hearing this, all the Tang family members' faces turned ashen. They thought Haitong Group was resuming cooperation with the Tang family, but they didn't expect them to pursue responsibility for the Tang family. This now conclusively confirmed Tang Zixuan's harassment of the Haitong Group chairman's secretary.
Tang Zixuan, however, was so scared that he collapsed onto the ground.
"Grandpa, save me, save me, I don't want to go to jail!"
After a few seconds, Tang Zixuan immediately looked at Tang Yuan for help.
Tang Yuan sighed and took the phone. "Hello, Secretary Wang. I am Tang Yuan, the head of the Tang family. There seems to be a misunderstanding. Zixuan was just making a joke at the time. We hope you can give our Tang family a chance to repent. We will compensate for all losses caused to your company!"
"So it's the Tang family head. Since you've put it this way, Haitong Group will give you face, and we'll let this matter go. Discipline your Tang family disciples properly in the future. If there's a next time, don't blame Haitong Group for being ruthless!"
Wang Kexin said coldly.
"Thank you, Secretary Wang, thank you, Secretary Wang!"
Upon hearing Wang Kexin's words, Tang Yuan quickly expressed his gratitude.
"Alright, that's all then!"
"Secretary Wang, please wait a moment!"
Just as Wang Kexin was about to hang up, Tang Yuan quickly called out, "Secretary Wang, regarding the cooperation between Haitong Group and Tang Corporation, could you be more accommodating? The project of our Tang Corporation is definitely a good project. I guarantee with my integrity that as long as Haitong Group invests, you will definitely get a generous return!"
Tang Yuan explained respectfully into the phone.
"Tang family head, there are reasons for terminating the cooperation with you. I believe you already know them. If your Tang family can rectify these reasons, our Haitong Group, being open to all rivers, will not deliberately make things difficult for you!"
Wang Kexin continued, "Our chairman's cooperation with the Tang family was based on seeing the Tang family's sincerity and believing that Tang Shiming is a woman without ulterior motives. Our chairman is willing to cooperate with such a woman. I made it very clear at the time, and I don't know why your Tang family didn't listen, but instead changed the project负责人, which made our chairman very unhappy!"
"If your Tang family still wants to continue cooperating, then have Miss Tang Shiming come to Haitong Group tomorrow to discuss cooperation matters!"
After Wang Kexin finished speaking, she hung up the phone directly without giving Tang Yuan a chance to react.
"Tang Shiming?"
The designated project负责人 for the cooperation project by Haitong Group is Tang Shiming?
Hearing this, all the Tang family members were stunned!
All the Tang family members knew that Tang Shiming was an idiot with mental issues, yet Haitong Group was letting a woman with mental problems be the project负责人 for this cooperation. Did Haitong Group also have mental issues?
However, after the Tang family's wild speculation, they all unanimously believed that the chairman of Haitong Group had taken a liking to Tang Shiming, which was why they did this.
Li Xiumei was even more ecstatic, unable to close her mouth. She held Tang Shiming's hand and praised her incessantly.
"Oh my, our Shiming is truly amazing. Although she has some intellectual issues, her appearance is second to none in the entire Jiangbei City. Even the chairman of Haitong Group has taken a liking to her. Our family will truly soar to great heights from now on!"
Upon hearing Li Xiumei's words, the others immediately changed their tune and began praising Tang Shiming's family one after another.
"Shiming, you are truly blessed to be favored by the chairman of Haitong Group. You will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future!"
"Yes, Shiming, the future of our Tang family rests on you!"
"Brother Tang Ming, Sister-in-law Xiumei, you are truly blessed to have such an outstanding daughter. Whether our Tang family can join the ranks of prestigious families depends on Shiming's word!"
"..."
Lu Yang felt like vomiting listening to the Tang family's flattery.
"That's natural!"
Li Xiumei said proudly, finally able to hold her head high in the Tang family.
Tang Shiming, however, understood nothing of their attitudes and was busy pestering Lu Yang to play games with her.
"Xiumei, I apologize. We misunderstood your family just now. I apologize to you. Please handle tomorrow's matters well. The Tang family's ability to secure this investment depends on Shiming!"
Tang Yuan's attitude softened, and he said to Li Xiumei with a hint of fawning.
"We're not going!"
Before Li Xiumei could speak, Lu Yang directly said loudly.
"What did you say? This is our Tang family's business, why are you, a useless live-in son-in-law, butting in? Get out!"
"Exactly, look at your own status. You're just a dog kept by the Tang family, daring to make decisions for Shiming? Believe it or not, I'll have you and Shiming divorce right now!"
"Xiumei, control your useless son-in-law and tell him to stop standing out and yapping nonsense!"
"..."
Upon hearing Lu Yang's words, everyone immediately began to curse loudly.
"I think Lu Yang has a point. The entire Tang family wronged our family this time, almost kicking us out. Now they casually ask us to fix things. Is there such a good thing in this world?"
"Unless... all the matters the old man promised earlier are fulfilled for our family, and I want Tang Zixuan to apologize to Shiming in person!"
Hearing Lu Yang's words, Li Xiumei suddenly came to her senses, knowing that she now had leverage over the Tang family and would not agree so easily.
"Li Xiumei, what do you mean by that? Are you saying I should hand over the position of Tang family head to your daughter?"
Tang Yuan roared furiously after hearing Li Xiumei's words.
