"Haitong Group has a Vice President named Liu Qirui, who is from the Liu family. I happen to be on good terms with the eldest son of the Liu family, Liu Changxin. Why don't I find Liu Changxin and ask him to introduce me? As long as Liu Qirui agrees, the chances of success will be very high!" Tang Zixuan said proudly.
"Zixuan, you're absolutely right. I didn't expect that at the critical moment, I would still have to rely on you. Grandpa truly did not misjudge you. Here, I'll allocate one million for you to liaise with the Liu family!" Tang Yuan was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth after hearing Tang Zixuan's words.
"Grandpa, one million is a bit insufficient. The Liu family is a prominent family, wealthier than our Tang family. This one million is only enough for a meal!" Tang Zixuan had clearly prepared to fleece Tang Yuan.
"This... I'll give you three million. Is that enough now?" Tang Yuan gritted his teeth and directly took out three million. It's worth noting that these three million were Tang Corporation's annual profit.
"It's enough, it's enough, thank you, Grandpa. Don't worry, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" Tang Zixuan said with an excited smile, then took a three-million-dollar check from Tang Yuan.
"Bang!"
At this moment, the main door of the Tang family villa was kicked open, and several young men rushed in aggressively.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Tang family?" Seeing this, Tang Zixuan immediately stood up and asked coldly.
"I am Liu Changxin! Get that useless son-in-law of the Tang family out here! Damn it, he dares to hit me!" Liu Changxin walked out from the crowd and shouted at everyone.
"Young Master Liu, I didn't expect you to be here. The Tang family has failed to welcome you properly. Please forgive us!" Seeing that it was Liu Changxin, Tang Zixuan excitedly stepped forward, instantly turning into a sycophant.
"Tang Zixuan, hand over that useless Lu Yang, or I'm not done with your Tang family today!" Liu Changxin was clearly enraged. He had never been beaten before in his life, but today, in the park, he was kicked flying by Lu Yang, and he was still in pain.
"You're talking about that useless Lu Yang? Easy, easy. I'll hand him over to you to deal with as you please later. However, there's a very important matter that requires your help right now!" Tang Zixuan said, pulling Liu Changxin aside and whispering with him for a few minutes.
Upon hearing what Tang Zixuan said, Liu Changxin's face instantly lit up with a smile, and he patted Tang Zixuan on the shoulder.
"Zixuan, we've been friends since childhood. I'll definitely help you. It's just a matter of speaking to my uncle. Don't worry, I'll arrange for you to meet my uncle tomorrow!" Liu Changxin patted his chest and promised.
"Thank you, Young Master Liu!" After getting Liu Changxin's assurance, Tang Zixuan immediately looked at Tang Yuan and said triumphantly, "Grandpa, Young Master Liu has already agreed to help us connect with the Liu family. However, the cost of meeting Young Master Liu's uncle, Mr. Liu Qirui, tomorrow might not be enough. How about this, Grandpa, give me another two million, and I guarantee I can persuade Mr. Liu to invest a little in our Tang family. Even a few hundred million would be enough for our Tang family to prosper!"
"Good, good, good, Zixuan, you are our Tang family's deputy general. With you here, this cooperation is stable!" Hearing Tang Zixuan and Liu Changxin's words, Tang Yuan was extremely excited and immediately wrote another check for two million dollars and handed it to Tang Zixuan.
Seeing the two-million-dollar check, Liu Changxin smiled meaningfully and continued, "I have another condition. As long as your Tang family satisfies me, I will personally persuade my uncle to let the Tang family get more investment, at least ten billion!"
What? Ten billion?
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Tang family was shocked. What was the concept of ten billion? If the Tang family received ten billion in investment, they would directly become a prominent family in Jiangbei City!
The Tang family's total assets were currently only a little over one hundred million, and most of it was fixed assets. It was difficult to come up with ten million from home. Yet, Liu Changxin spoke of ten billion, which naturally shocked the Tang family members!
"Young Master Liu, just say what you want. As long as our Tang family can satisfy you, we will absolutely satisfy you!" Tang Yuan's eyes were full of eagerness as he quickly looked at Liu Changxin and said.
"Actually... my condition is very simple. I want Tang Shimin to accompany me for two days!"
"What? This..."
Upon hearing Liu Changxin's words, Tang Yuan frowned. Although Tang Shimin had intellectual issues, she was still his granddaughter. Exchanging his granddaughter's body for the prosperity of the Tang family was indeed difficult for Tang Yuan, who still had some sense of shame.
"Grandpa, why are you still hesitating? Young Master Liu is a talented and distinguished person, and he is the eldest son of the Liu family, destined to inherit the position of family head. Moreover, Young Master Liu is not married. It is Tang Shimin's good fortune to accompany Young Master Liu for two days. Perhaps in those two days, the two of them can spark some chemistry, and if Young Master Liu is happy, he might even marry Tang Shimin?"
"With our Tang family's ten billion investment from Haitong Group, coupled with the marriage alliance with the Liu family, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. Entering the ranks of prominent families is just around the corner!" Seeing Tang Yuan hesitate, Tang Zixuan immediately persuaded him from the side.
"Dad, Zixuan is absolutely right. Everything we're doing is for the good of the Tang family. Don't you want to see the Tang family become a prominent family in Yanjing during your lifetime?" Tang Mingyuan also stepped forward to persuade him.
"Yes, Grandpa, please agree to Young Master Liu's condition!"
"Dad, for the Tang family, please agree!"
"..."
Seeing this, the rest of the Tang family members quickly persuaded Tang Yuan.
"I disagree! Why should my daughter sacrifice for the Tang family without getting any benefit in return? I will not send my daughter away!" As everyone was persuading Tang Yuan, Li Xiumei immediately stood up and shouted loudly.
She wasn't foolish. Seeing all the benefits going to Tang Zixuan, and now being asked to send her daughter to accompany Liu Changxin, how could Li Xiumei possibly agree?
"Second Aunt, as a member of the Tang family, Tang Shimin should contribute something for the honor of the Tang family. Moreover, this little contribution is nothing to Tang Shimin. Young Master Liu doesn't even mind that Tang Shimin is a married woman, so why are you disagreeing!" Hearing Li Xiumei's words, Tang Zixuan immediately stepped forward to retort.
"You're speaking from a position of privilege. You've taken all the benefits, and now we get no money and have to offer our daughter. Is there such a good deal in the world?" Li Xiumei roared angrily.
"That's right. We raised our daughter for so many years, not for free. Why should we give her away for nothing!" Tang Mingde also shouted with a face full of anger.
"Enough, everyone be quiet. Do you still have me in your eyes!" Tang Yuan shouted loudly when he saw the situation getting out of control.
"I've made up my mind. Shimin will accompany Young Master Liu for two days. It's settled!" Tang Yuan ultimately chose to tear the facade, discarding his last shred of dignity for the Tang family to ascend to the ranks of prominent families.
