The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 284: Chapter 284 Bought the Tang Group

“Siwen, how are things now? How is Tang Xiangdong?”

“He’s going crazy right now, smashing everything he can see inside,” Tang Siwen said.

Some of the Tang Family’s relatives were not surprised to hear this news. How long had he been the chairman, and after tomorrow, he wouldn’t be anymore. He simply couldn’t accept it.

“We’ll know who our new chairman is tomorrow. I’m really looking forward to it.”

“Sigh, I hope the new chairman lets everyone stay in the Group. If we’re kicked out, life would be tough for us.”

“Indeed, hopefully, there won’t be a massive cleanup of the Group.”

The Tang Family members were like parasites in the Group, utterly incapable on their own. If they left the Group, it would be hard for them to survive in society, so they were understandably worried about their future.

But now, their fate was in the hands of tomorrow’s new chairman. Their worries here were pointless, and all they could do was hope fate would spare them.

At the Mountain Villa, Tang Qiulu’s family returned and finally could relax a bit.

Although Zhao Meili’s death put significant pressure on their family, Su Changfeng didn’t show any unusual behavior in front of them, so there wasn’t much to worry about.

Sun Mei dared not provoke Su Changfeng now and spoke to him with particular politeness, fearing he might become displeased.

As for Tang Zhenhua, he didn’t even have the courage to look directly at Su Changfeng. Even when dining together, he felt immense pressure.

At the dinner table, Su Changfeng noticed Liu Lili looking hesitant, as if something had happened, and Tang Qiulu appeared listless.

Something must definitely be wrong with Liu Lili, most likely related to her daughter, and Tang Qiulu’s lack of energy probably stemmed from the Group’s affairs. She had the demeanor of a strong woman, and staying home all day wasn’t something she could adapt to.

“Qiulu, do you need me to take you to the Group tomorrow?” Su Changfeng asked Tang Qiulu.

Tang Qiulu replied with a bitter smile, “I’ve already resigned. What would I go to the Group for?”

“Qiulu, I think you were a bit impulsive back then. Resigning played right into Tang Xiangdong’s hands. He’d love nothing more than for you to leave the Group,” Sun Mei said helplessly.

Tang Qiulu’s choices had always been right, so Sun Mei never intervened. But in this matter of resigning from the Group, Sun Mei believed Tang Qiulu was making a big mistake.

“Mom, it’s too late to change things now. Saying this doesn’t help at all,” Tang Qiulu said with her head down, feeling deeply regretful as she imagined how happy Tang Xiangdong must be now. The thought annoyed her.

“Actually…” At this point, Su Changfeng interjected, “Since you left the Tang Group, Weishui Real Estate terminated their partnership, and the bank forced the Tang Family to repay loans. The Group is currently facing numerous difficulties.”

Tang Qiulu wasn’t happy to hear this, as the Group’s dire state wasn’t something she wished for. She just wanted to be able to work.

However, Sun Mei was particularly pleased to hear this, “Heaven is truly watching. Qiulu’s value in the Group cannot be surpassed by Tang Xiangdong. I bet he’s green with regret now.”

“But what’s that got to do with me?” Tang Qiulu said lazily.

“Ahem… Actually, after you went back to Bin County, I bought the Tang Group. So, you’re the new chairman,” Su Changfeng said.

Everyone, including Liu Lili, stared in disbelief at Su Changfeng.

He bought the Group!

He bought the Tang Group!

Sun Mei instinctively glanced at Tang Zhenhua. Buying the Group probably cost a fortune. Where did Su Changfeng get this money? Why did he have so much money?

As she came back to her senses, Tang Qiulu said to Su Changfeng, “Are you joking? You bought the Tang Group?”

“But Cheng Shi will come causing trouble tomorrow, and the West District project is unlikely to continue for the Group. You must find another way to help the Group through this crisis,” Su Changfeng said.

The West District project was pivotal for the Tang Family to join the ranks of Hai City’s first-class families. The Old Madam had pinned her hopes on this project, so if the partnership failed, a crisis would arise.

However, if they could withdraw from the West District project and use the Group’s funds to find other ways, abandoning the Old Madam’s ambitions, the Tang Family might still weather the crisis.

Tang Qiulu took a deep breath and said, “I’ll definitely work hard.”

Seeing Tang Qiulu regain her determination, Su Changfeng smiled happily, “That’s nothing, as long as it makes you happy, I’m willing to do it for you.”

Tang Qiulu blushed instantly and quickly looked down, feeling particularly touched. A new feeling of gratitude was growing in her heart, one she found too shy to express, and she felt it shouldn’t be her to take the initiative, so she dismissed the thought.

Sun Mei glared at Tang Zhenhua, as if saying, “Look at Su Changfeng. To make Tang Qiulu happy, he even bought the Group. Now look at you.”

Tang Zhenhua hung his head in sorrow. He wanted to do the same, but he didn’t have the funds. Buying the Tang Group was money he could never earn in a lifetime. He felt impotent.

After dinner, the family sat together in the living room watching TV, and Liu Lili, having finished her chores, went to her room.

“Changfeng, Aunt Liu seemed to have something on her mind today. Why don’t you ask her?” Tang Qiulu reminded Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng had intended to do this, and hearing Tang Qiulu, he walked towards Liu Lili’s room.

When he knocked, Liu Lili opened the door with her head down, trying to hide her expression, but Su Changfeng could still see the tear stains on her cheeks.

“Aunt Liu, is something the matter?” Su Changfeng asked Liu Lili.

Liu Lili shook her head and said, “Nothing, Changfeng, I don’t want to continue this job. I want to resign.”

“Resign!” Su Changfeng’s heart skipped a beat. Everything seemed fine before, so why resign now? He knew Liu Lili well; dissatisfaction with her current job couldn’t be the reason.

“I hope you can understand, Aunt Liu,” Liu Lili said, lowering her head.
