The Dragon Group members were ultimately bound by numerous regulations, so even with immense strength, they could not interfere with normal business collaborations.
If that were the case, things would be much simpler from here on!
"Director Tang, by saying that, can it be assumed that the Tang Group is crossing the bridge and then tearing it down?"
"When the Tang Group was in trouble, we extended a helping hand and invested heavily. Now that the difficult period has passed, you are turning your back on us and refusing to acknowledge us?"
Song Jianming said with a cold face, almost making Tang Xinwan laugh in anger.
Although she did not know the specific intentions of the Song and Xia families, based on their relationship, the other party was certainly not offering help with good intentions but had other motives.
Now, they were following her words and climbing up, truly shamelessly.
"President Song, things cannot be said like that!"
"I represent the Tang Group and will definitely be grateful for the support of the Song and Xia families. I will also remember this kindness."
"How about this: we pay the interest, calculated at double the interest rate of bank deposits, to settle the matter."
Tang Xinwan pondered.
She knew this matter would not be so easily resolved, so she was prepared.
"Are you trying to send away beggars?"
Song Jianming's expression became even more grim. He said, "The nearly one billion funds from our two families, even if invested in wealth management, wouldn't yield such meager interest, would it?"
"That's right."
Xia Guangzhi chimed in, continuing, "Besides, we don't lack that little money. It's better to treat the Tang Group as a hen that lays eggs. We can get dividends every year!"
As he spoke, a triumphant smile flashed across Xia Guangzhi's face.
You see, didn't your Tang Group despise our two families?
Then we will treat you as a hen that lays eggs, making you work yourself to death and still share some of the eggs with us.
If we can't infuriate you to death, we'll at least disgust you to death!
"You!"
With those words, Tang Xinwan was instantly angered to the point of speechlessness. Her fair, small hands trembled on her legs.
Seeing that the other party's attitude was firm and they were absolutely unwilling to withdraw their funds and return the equity, further discussion was meaningless!
Moreover, Ye Cangtian was someone who stirred up trouble. If he acted impulsively, this problem would become even harder to resolve in the future.
"President Song, President Xia, my proposal is not a loss for you. I hope you will think carefully. I will await your reply."
With that, Tang Xinwan called Ye Cangtian and turned to leave the teahouse.
"Haha, as expected, Ye Cangtian didn't dare to get involved."
Seeing Tang Xinwan and the other person leave, Song Jianming laughed triumphantly, as Ye Cangtian, that brat, had not offered any opinion from beginning to end.
What was there to fear from such a hesitant Ye Cangtian?
Xia Guangzhi also laughed, then slapped his head as if he remembered something.
"Damn it! Ye Cangtian said he would treat us to tea! But now he's just packing up and leaving, leaving us to pay for ourselves? That dog, so stingy!"
On the other side.
Tang Xinwan, who had left, had a frosty expression on her face, all her good mood gone.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian couldn't help but smile and say, "They're just having a temporary lapse in judgment. Once they come to their senses, they'll contact you proactively..."
Hmph!
Tang Xinwan shot Ye Cangtian a glare. This matter was not that simple!
Ye Cangtian's lips curved slightly upwards. This matter was indeed quite simple for him.
As for the two clowns, Song and Xia, from earlier, he simply couldn't be bothered with them at the moment!
...
Not long after returning to the branch company.
Ye Cangtian received a call from Secretary Liu, saying that Old Master Xu wanted to see him.
Upon hearing this.
Ye Cangtian informed Tang Xinwan and then headed to the family compound.
Under the grape trellis in the courtyard.
Old Master Xu had already prepared a chessboard and a pot of steaming hot tea. Seeing Ye Cangtian arrive, he directly gestured for him to sit.
"Old Master, I'm no longer your opponent. Don't torture me anymore."
"Let's talk business."
Ye Cangtian sat down, looked at the chessboard, and had no intention of playing. He grumbled.
"You brat, you're unwilling to accompany this old man to relieve his boredom? Fine then, you can leave. I have nothing else to say to you."
Old Master Xu said impatiently.
"Uh... alright."
Ye Cangtian was slightly taken aback, not expecting the old man to throw a childish tantrum. He quickly picked up a black piece and placed it on the board.
Then he looked at the other party, as if saying, "I'm playing now, is that okay?"
Seeing this, Old Master Xu picked up a white piece and then said, "People from the Kawada family have arrived in the capital..."
The news had just come in that people from the Dongying family had already visited the Zhou family, but they left with sullen faces, indicating that the cooperation had not been achieved.
However, even so, Old Master Xu still reminded Ye Cangtian.
People from the Kawada family had arrived, which meant that people from the Dongying Shinobi Division must also have arrived. Therefore, he had to be vigilant.
The Kawada family?
They were truly haunting and persistent.
Ye Cangtian muttered to himself. Based on the timing, Gu Qin and Gu Yue should have arrived in Dongying and were retaliating against the Kawada family.
Now, the Kawada family dared to extend their influence to Huaxia; it was truly suicidal!
No, that's not right!
The Kawada family and the Shinobi Division arrived together, indicating they had already collaborated. The Shinobi Division would definitely not stand by and watch the Kawada family be slaughtered.
Then Gu Qin and Gu Yue's trip might not be smooth sailing.
Alas! I hope they are safe and sound. At the very least, I hope they can retreat safely!
Ye Cangtian sighed. Dongying was thousands of miles away. Even if he discovered anything unusual, he wouldn't be able to rescue the two women in time.
...
Late at night!
Just as Ye Cangtian was about to sleep, he received a phone call.
"Mr. Ye?"
"The matter you entrusted me with has been handled."
"Song Jianming is hosting a banquet at home, entertaining Xia Guangzhi and others, with many guests in attendance..."
Cang Lang's voice came from the phone.
Ye Cangtian responded with an "En" and then hung up.
Since Song Jianming and Xia Guangzhi were ungrateful and still had their eyes on the Tang Group, he had no choice but to use some unconventional methods.
...
That night, the Song family mansion was brightly decorated.
In the spacious hall, one side had a self-service long table laden with delicious food and various fine wines.
On the other side, a small dance party was taking place, with many people dancing gracefully.
Song Yuan and Xia Cheng wore proud smiles on their faces.
Both of them had suffered losses at Ye Cangtian's hands. This time, by dealing with the Tang Group, their families had thoroughly embarrassed Ye Cangtian.
The pent-up frustration that had accumulated in their hearts was finally released.
Creak!
At some point, the hall door was quietly opened. No one in the noisy hall noticed as a figure walked in.
Only when the music stopped did everyone's gaze turn, with a hint of confusion, towards the corner where the sound system was located.
They then saw a man who had already picked up the microphone there.
What the hell, who is this guy?
The dancing was going so well, why is he here to cause trouble?
Isn't he afraid of causing public outrage?
Many people's expressions turned grim. As for Song Yuan and Xia Cheng, they were stunned on the spot.
Because the person who arrived was none other than Ye Cangtian, whom they had just been mocking and discussing.
Needless to say, his arrival here was definitely not for any good reason.
"Heh heh, Young Master Song, Young Master Xia, how have you been?"
"You guys are too unfriendly. Why didn't you invite me to such a lively banquet?"
Before Song Yuan and Xia Cheng could speak, Ye Cangtian, using the microphone, spoke to the two of them first.
"Ye Cangtian, what are you doing at my Song family's house!"
"You are not welcome here. Please leave immediately!"
Since Song Jianming and Xia Guangzhi preferred quiet and were secluded in the inner rooms, Song Yuan had to step forward at this moment, pointing at Ye Cangtian and shouting coldly.
