Cao Jian was already furious, and Cao Xuerong's words only fueled his rage.
"I'm weighing the pros and cons! Does it take a confrontation with the Wang family, just for your insignificant Han family, to be considered fearless? Is that worth it?"
"If this matter can achieve it, then it's worth it!"
Cao Xuerong retorted without hesitation, hurrying down the stairs and continuing,
"The beauty secret recipe combined with the market potential of 'Gan Kuai Hao' oral liquid provides enough reason for our Cao family to go all in on this gamble! Once successful, let alone the Wang family, even the Tang family, the foremost of the four great clans, will only be inferior to our Cao family in the future!"
Cao Jian retorted without thinking, "And what if it fails?"
Cao Xuerong's rebuttal was equally swift, "Our plan is meticulous, with a two-pronged approach. We have products and we have capital, how could it possibly fail?"
Cao Jian couldn't help but sneer after hearing this, "If the Wang family interferes, do you think your plans and capital will be enough?"
Cao Xuerong frowned, his expression filled with incomprehension at Cao Jian's words.
"Then is our Cao family just a decoration? With our strength, even if we end up in a full-blown war with the Wang family, after a struggle, at least one of the beauty and pharmaceutical markets will inevitably fall into our hands. Wouldn't that mean we haven't lost?"
Hearing Cao Xuerong's reasoned argument, Han Lang couldn't help but chime in.
"Yes, Mr. Cao! You fear a war with the Wang family, but the Wang family may not necessarily dare to go to war with you. I don't believe they wouldn't worry about other opportunists taking advantage!"
Han Lang's advice only made Cao Jian feel even more that the Han family was resorting to unscrupulous means to achieve their goals.
This made him even more enraged, and he pointed at Han Lang again, shouting sternly.
"You shut up!"
"All in all, Han Lang, you know yourself who the opportunist is in all this!"
"In short, I will absolutely not agree to let the Cao family take such a huge risk for your Han family!"
"Give up on that idea!"
With that, Cao Jian flicked his sleeves and left. Han Lang and Cao Xuerong were left standing there, feeling both helpless and indignant!
After a long while,
The two calmed their emotions.
Cao Xuerong rationally apologized to Han Lang, "I'm sorry, Han Lang! My father might be getting old and confused. Please don't take his harsh words to heart."
Han Lang smiled and replied with mixed feelings.
"How can I not care? He pointed at my nose and called me an unscrupulous villain! Heh..." 138 Reading Network
"But he does have a point. My Han family is indeed just a speck of dust to your Cao family. Who would risk anything for a speck of dust?"
"However, he also hasn't considered that dust might not be willing to remain dust forever!"
"Don't you think so? Heh..."
Cao Xuerong, being astute, understood the underlying meaning in Han Lang's self-mockery.
Perhaps he was truly angered!
But facing his stubborn father, Cao Xuerong felt utterly helpless.
"Alright, don't look so wronged. When my father's anger subsides, I'll try to persuade him. But we need to be clear, you can be angry with him, but don't involve me. After all, I haven't offended you!"
Seeing Cao Xuerong's adorable demeanor, Han Lang couldn't help but chuckle.
"Haha, don't worry, that's one thing, this is another! I'm not that unreasonable. As for persuading Mr. Cao further, I think it's best to forget it. His current attitude doesn't seem like he's open to persuasion, and it might end up causing disharmony in your family."
Hearing Han Lang's intention to give up, Cao Xuerong immediately looked worried and doubtful.
"Then what about your Han family? If you can't get the money, how can you possibly overcome this crisis?"
Han Lang smiled slightly, gently patted Cao Xuerong's shoulder, and replied faintly.
"Don't worry, Miss Peach! With me here, the Han family won't collapse!"
"I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now!"
With that, he left Han Lang with a relaxed smile and strode out of the Cao residence without looking back.
Back in the car, Han Lang didn't hesitate. He started the engine and sped off in another direction.
He knew, as Cao Xuerong had said, that the Han family's crisis was imminent.
If they couldn't secure funds, the Han family would inevitably be swept away by the tide of this conspiracy.
And now that the Cao family had refused assistance under the Wang family's pressure,
The only entity Han Lang could think of that had the strength to assist the Han family and was not afraid of the Wang family's threats was the Tang family, the foremost of the four great clans in Le City!
Soon, accompanied by the roar of the Porsche, Han Lang arrived at the Tang family villa.
Upon entering, he saw Tang Haoran and Deputy Officer Liu chatting intimately. Upon seeing Han Lang, Tang Haoran was pleasantly surprised and immediately stood up, rushing forward to welcome him while instructing Deputy Officer Liu to quickly prepare tea.
"Haha, Brother Han! You've finally remembered your brother!"
Facing Tang Haoran's enthusiasm, Han Lang felt a momentary daze.
To be honest, it wasn't that he intentionally compared the Cao family and the Tang family.
It was just that every time he visited the Tang family, the attitude of everyone there made him unconsciously compare the disparity.
He favored the Tang family more!
And he hoped that in the future, he too could possess such magnanimity!
"Brother Tang, I've come to ask for your help with something!"
Tang Haoran appeared very magnanimous, "Hey, Brother Han, what are you talking about? Just tell me whatever you need, and if I can do it, I won't hesitate. Haha..."
Hearing Tang Haoran say this, Han Lang no longer stood on ceremony. He immediately took out several facial masks prepared at the mask processing factory and presented them to Tang Haoran.
"I'm short on money lately, and I want to discuss a collaboration with the Tang Group using these."
Unexpectedly, Tang Haoran didn't even look at them. He simply took the brewed tea from Deputy Officer Liu, poured tea for Han Lang, and said,
"Just tell me how much money you need! What collaboration or no collaboration, we brothers don't do that!"
Han Lang was touched, but remembering the amount needed to overcome the crisis, he said somewhat sheepishly.
"I need quite a lot. Brother Tang, why don't you take a look at this first!"
Seeing Han Lang's hesitant demeanor, Tang Haoran, somewhat annoyed, placed the teapot in his hand on the table with a "crack."
"Brother Han, are you looking down on me? I told you, just tell me how much you need and don't be so formal with me. I value you as a person, is that something that can be measured by money?"
Han Lang was reprimanded into silence and didn't know what to say for a moment, so he replied truthfully.
"3 billion!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Haoran and Deputy Officer Liu almost spat out the tea they were drinking.
"So much?"
Then, Tang Haoran immediately asked with concern about the reason.
"Brother, have you encountered some difficulty?"
