The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

100: Chapter 100 How Good Looking?

Su Changfeng suddenly said something that made Tang Qiulu a bit shy; she gave Su Changfeng a sidelong glance and said, “When did you learn to be so glib?”

“I’m just stating the facts.

Being glib is the last thing I’d ever want to do in life,” Su Changfeng laughed.

With her nose wrinkled, Tang Qiulu asked, “How good-looking?”

“Even a beautiful landscape isn’t as good-looking as you.

The sun, moon, and stars in the sky aren’t as dazzling as you,” Su Changfeng said with a sincere face.

A shiver ran through Tang Qiulu, and her hairs stood on end instantly; she quickly said, “Stop it.

Aren’t you embarrassed to say these things?”

Watching Tang Qiulu run down the hill, Su Changfeng smiled and followed.

Actually, this wasn’t bad.

Su Changfeng once had a thought of giving up fame and status.

With the funds he currently had, he could live the rest of his life with Tang Qiulu without worries.

But the incident with Zhu Lie was a wake-up call for him—that idea wasn’t realistic.

If he wanted to protect Tang Qiulu, he had to become strong enough.

Su Changfeng didn’t agree with what Ji Hong said.

If you’re strong, you should show it.

But the more outstanding you are, the more you become a target or even get destroyed, and he didn’t want to be the tall tree in the forest—that’s courting death!

However, Su Changfeng also wouldn’t choose mediocrity because it was his pride as the young master of the Su Family!

If he abandoned this, others would step over him to climb higher.

After returning home and having a breakfast prepared by Liu Lili, Su Changfeng drove Tang Qiulu to the company.

Just as Tang Qiulu entered the company, she ran into Tang Siwen and Tang Xiangdong.

The two people in the same boat even looked at Tang Qiulu with the same gaze.

“Why haven’t you settled this cooperation issue yet?

Tang Qiulu, are you unable to do it?

The Old Madam has unusually high expectations of you.

Don’t disappoint her,” Tang Xiangdong said with a smirk.

“Tang Xiangdong, would there be so many accidents if it weren’t for you?” Tang Qiulu retorted.

Tang Xiangdong’s face suddenly turned particularly ugly.

Tang Siwen and Tang Xiangdong were thick as thieves, so she was sure to speak up for Tang Xiangdong now.

“If it weren’t for you not doing well enough, why would the Old Madam replace you?

I don’t understand why Weishui’s CEO values you so much; did you put some kind of spell on him?” Tang Siwen insinuated, with no attempt to hide her mocking tone.

“Tang Siwen, if you have the time to spare, you should think about whose bride price this is.

Are you hoping to marry into a wealthy family using this person who sent the bride price?

That has nothing to do with you, right?” Tang Qiulu said coldly.

Tang Siwen was not ashamed but instead looked smug.

“After I get married, what is the Tang Family to me?

And what are you, Tang Qiulu?”

“But for the moment, you’re just an assistant of mine, who must obey my orders.

You’d better pray that the person sending the bride price comes soon, so you can attain your freedom,” Tang Qiulu said and got into the elevator.

Tang Siwen was so angry her teeth itched, intending to go upstairs, but she refused to go up with Tang Qiulu and waited downstairs.

“Donglin, how is the investigation of the person sending the bride price going?

Have you found that person?” Tang Siwen asked.

Tang Xiangdong also planned to use this matter to break the company’s current problems, but they really couldn’t find any clues.

Moreover, there wasn’t a particularly powerful Su Family in Hai City.

If they investigated outside Hai City, it would undoubtedly be more difficult.

Never mind abroad; even domestically, there were countless Su Families.

“We haven’t gotten any news on this matter yet, but don’t worry; I’ll do my best to investigate,” Tang Xiangdong replied.

“Once I get married, I’ll surely trample Tang Qiulu under my feet,” Tang Siwen said viciously.

“I suspect this Su Family may have some connection with the Beijing Su Family, and maybe your luck is about to turn around,” Tang Xiangdong laughed.

Tang Siwen touched her face, proudly saying, “That’s for sure; my face is my ticket into the elite.”

Tang Qiulu had only been in the office for a short while when the Old Madam called with her daily inquiry.

“Old Madam.”

“How is the situation?

Have you met Cheng Shi yet?” Recently, the Old Madam was especially exhausted, unable to eat or sleep well, wishing for a remedy for regret anytime she thought about the possibility of this cooperation falling through and the Tang Family going bankrupt, her heart ached immensely.

“Madam, don’t worry.

I’ve been trying every method lately and will definitely handle this matter well,” Tang Qiulu assured.

The Old Madam sighed and replied, “It’s all because of me; if it weren’t for me, this wouldn’t have happened at all.

Qiulu, during this time, you have to be more attentive.

Whether our Tang Family can survive depends on you.”

Despite having been looked down upon by the Old Madam before, Tang Qiulu’s heart wasn’t that hard.

Thinking about the heartache of someone as old as the Old Madam, she felt a bit pained and quickly responded, “Please rest well, Old Madam.

Don’t think too much about it; leave this matter to me.”

“Alright, alright, having you say this, the Old Madam can be at ease.”

After hanging up the phone, Tang Qiulu breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, another call came in.

When Tang Qiulu saw the name Cheng Shi displayed on the phone screen, she immediately became excited.

In the past two days, she had no idea how many times she had tried to contact Cheng Shi, but Cheng Shi simply wouldn’t see her, and Tang Qiulu was about to go crazy.

“Brother Cheng,” Tang Qiulu quickly answered the phone and immediately said, “I apologize on behalf of our family’s Old Madam for what happened before, and I hope you can give our Tang Family another chance.”

“The cooperation continues,” Cheng Shi said.

Tang Qiulu was stunned upon hearing this; she didn’t even know how to respond for a moment.

Initially, she thought she would have to personally apologize to Cheng Shi, but who knew Cheng Shi would actually call her and say they could continue the cooperation.

It seemed like Weishui’s CEO wasn’t holding a grudge now.

“Thank you, Brother Cheng,” Tang Qiulu said excitedly.

“I still have things to do, so I’ll hang up,” Cheng Shi then hung up the phone.

Tang Qiulu finally felt she could breathe a sigh of relief; she instantly felt much lighter.

But it was Su Changfeng who went out to handle this affair, so when he came home tonight…

In the afternoon, Tang Qiulu told those in the Tang Family to have a meeting.

Reluctantly, Tang Xiangdong and Tang Siwen went, feeling as if Tang Qiulu’s commands were like swallowing a fly.

“Tang Qiulu, can’t you handle the problem?

Are you trying to make everyone else think about what to do?” Tang Xiangdong mocked during the meeting.

“The Old Madam has already made you responsible for this; there’s nothing anyone else can do to help.

I think you’d better figure out what to do on your own,” Tang Siwen said.
