After piecing together information and making assumptions, the Tang family concluded that the real reason Huang Heinou had severely beaten Liu Changxin yesterday was that Liu Changxin owed Huang Heinou a substantial amount of money, and the Liu family was bankrupt, rendering Liu Changxin unable to repay the debt.
They also believed that Lu Yang's earlier display of prowess was merely a fluke, a case of a blind cat catching a dead mouse, that he happened upon the situation.
Otherwise, Lu Yang would have been the one receiving the brutal treatment.
"Alright, now that the situation is clear, I announce two things. The first is that Tang Zixuan must return the five million he took from the family yesterday, in its entirety!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Zixuan felt like dying. He had received five million yesterday and spent two million in one night. Now, he was being asked to return it. How could he possibly do that?
"The second thing is that without Liu Changxin's introduction, our connection with Haitong Group is severed. Therefore, we still need someone to establish contact with the new president to help the Tang family secure investment from Haitong Group!"
"Whoever can secure this investment, I will reward them with ten million!"
Tang Yuan waved his hand, directly raising the reward to ten million.
Upon hearing the ten million reward, everyone in the Tang family's eyes lit up. However, the moment they considered the hurdle of Haitong Group, they retreated in fear.
Seeing that no one spoke, Tang Yuan threw out another incentive: "As long as someone can secure investment from Haitong Group, I will make them the Vice Chairman of Tang Corporation, and they will succeed me as the head of the family in the future!"
Vice Chairman of Tang Corporation? Succeeding the family head?
Wasn't this equivalent to choosing an heir?
The faces of everyone in the Tang family once again showed excitement and longing…
"Father, I heard that the chairman of Haitong Group is very young, only in his twenties, and unmarried. The only person in our Tang family who can be presented is Tang Shimin, the most beautiful woman in Jiangbei City. Any man would be smitten the moment they saw Shimin!"
"Perhaps this matter can be accomplished!"
Tang Mingyuan glanced at Tang Shimin, who was playing a game, and then said meaningfully to Tang Yuan.
"Uncle is right. Tang Shimin's family has been living off the Tang family for years, eating and drinking without doing anything. It's time they contributed something!"
"Our Tang family does not support idlers, and besides, we are supporting that good-for-nothing live-in son-in-law for Tang Shimin's family. This time, Tang Shimin must contribute!"
"Exactly. As a member of the Tang family, one should step forward at critical moments!"
"..."
Upon hearing Tang Mingyuan's words, the Tang family members instantly became animated and actively agreed with Tang Mingyuan.
"Tang Mingyuan, what kind of nonsense are you spouting? You know Tang Shimin, my daughter. After the car accident last time, her brain was injured and she hasn't recovered yet. What do you want her to do? Play games with the chairman of Haitong Group?"
Li Xiumei immediately yelled at Tang Mingyuan.
"Playing games is also fine, as long as the chairman of Haitong Group is into that!"
Tang Mingyuan said with a cold smile.
"You say it so easily, why don't you send your own daughter?"
Tang Mingde said indignantly.
"My daughter isn't as beautiful as your daughter. If my daughter were as beautiful, I would have sent her long ago!"
"You..."
"Everyone, quiet down!"
"Since you two are so eager, then let Tang Shimin and Tang Ziqi go together, right now. You are only allowed to succeed, not fail!"
"Our Tang family is investing in the salt lake area to build a medicinal materials trading market, which is definitely a good project. I don't believe the chairman of Haitong Group will disagree!"
Tang Yuan pondered for a moment and directly made the decision.
Upon hearing this, Tang Mingde and Tang Mingyuan's expressions changed. They hadn't expected that after arguing for so long, the task would fall upon them. The others, however, wore expressions of schadenfreude.
Even the best project, without connections or background, could it succeed in this materialistic society?
Since the old man had spoken, even if Tang Mingde and Tang Mingyuan were unwilling a hundred times over, they could only send their daughters to negotiate with Haitong Group now.
At this moment, Lu Yang was sitting in his office, listening to the reports from various departments and discussing the one hundred billion investment project with Lin Guoxiong.
"Old Lin, for this investment project, I want to try something new, something different. As the times develop and new industries constantly emerge, our investments should also keep pace with the times. I plan to divide the one hundred billion into two parts: one part for investing in emerging industries, and the other part for investing in conventional industries. What do you think?"
Lu Yang looked at Lin Guoxiong and asked with a smile.
"That is certainly excellent. The chairman can follow the trend of the times and keep up with the times, which shows the chairman's unique vision and broad thinking. People of my age cannot compare!"
Lin Guoxiong immediately responded with a smile.
"Yes, then notify everyone. As long as there are good projects, they can be submitted. All that is needed is to clearly state the project content and proposal!"
Lu Yang said calmly.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"
After hearing Lu Yang's words, Lin Guoxiong smiled with great comfort. This young man in front of him was considered a useless live-in son-in-law by the entire Jiangbei City, but who knew that Lu Yang's knowledge and vision were the pride of the entire younger generation, and no one could compare to him.
After handling these matters, Lu Yang checked his watch. It was time to go back and cook. If he returned late, Li Xiumei would start yelling again.
As he walked downstairs and got on his electric scooter, Lu Yang saw two beauties walking towards him. One of them was actually his wife, Tang Shimin.
"Why are Shimin and Tang Ziqi here?"
Lu Yang's expression tensed. Just as he was about to sneak back, Tang Ziqi spotted him.
"Lu Yang? What are you, you good-for-nothing, doing here? Do you really think you're the chairman of Haitong Group? Are you trying to make me laugh to death?"
Tang Ziqi immediately discovered Lu Yang. Lu Yang sneered repeatedly.
"Lu Yang, take me home, I'm hungry!"
Seeing Lu Yang, Tang Shimin hurried forward, grabbed Lu Yang's hand, and pointed to her rumbling stomach, saying.
"Let's go home, I'll cook something delicious for you!"
Lu Yang said with a smile. Just as he was about to get on his electric scooter to take Tang Shimin home, Tang Ziqi grabbed him.
"You can't leave. Grandpa asked me and Tang Shimin to come and talk about cooperation with the chairman of Haitong Group. Tang Shimin isn't leaving today until she meets the chairman of Haitong Group!"
Tang Ziqi said coldly.
"Cooperation?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yang instantly remembered the phone call Song Nuan received earlier in the office.
He didn't expect that the Tang family men couldn't accomplish something, so they sent women. This bizarre behavior truly disgusted Lu Yang.
"She's such an idiot. I don't know what Grandpa was thinking, forcing me to bring this idiot along!"
"Would the esteemed chairman of Haitong Group like an idiot?"
Tang Ziqi looked at Tang Shimin and couldn't help but mock her coldly.
