The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 352: Chapter 353: Blocking the Group’s Main Entrance

“Otherwise, you won’t need to go to work anymore. From now on, the Tang Group will be completely shut down. If you don’t believe me, then go out and ask who I am.”

This old guy was particularly arrogant, and his words angered many people in the group. However, even though these people were angry, they didn’t dare to say anything because these old men didn’t look like ordinary people, while the group’s employees were just regular folks. No one wanted to offend them.

Tang Qiulu’s assistant, Wang Xiaoxiao, saw that no one from the Tang Family was stepping forward, so she had no choice but to stand up.

“Chairman Tang hasn’t been in Hai City recently. If you need to reach her, can’t you wait until she comes back?” Wang Xiaoxiao said.

“Not in Hai City? I bet she doesn’t dare to show her face. It’s impossible for her to leave Hai City. Who are you? Do you have the right to talk to me?” The old man looked at Wang Xiaoxiao with disdain.

Wang Xiaoxiao wasn’t a big figure in the group and usually didn’t have much voice, but at this time, none of the Tang Family was stepping up, and she had no choice. She couldn’t let everyone keep waiting, as there were issues in the group that needed to be resolved.

“I’m Chairman Tang’s assistant.” Wang Xiaoxiao said.

The old man laughed. How could a mere assistant dare to speak to him?

“You’re just a minor assistant, so don’t say too much. You have two options: call Tang Qiulu or find a new job elsewhere.” The old man said disdainfully.

Wang Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and said defiantly, “What right do you have to block our group? We all need to work. What you’re doing is illegal.”

“Illegal?” The old man had a mocking expression and approached Wang Xiaoxiao, giving her a once-over. Though she wasn’t a top beauty, she was decent enough, and her figure was alluring. This sparked nefarious thoughts in the old man, and he said, “Little girl, go ask about me, Zhou Chaohai. Zhou Chengfei is my son. Do you know the consequences of talking to me like this? But don’t be afraid; if you become my secretary, I can pretend you didn’t say anything.”

“Zhou Chaohai!”

“So it’s Zhou Chaohai.”

“No wonder he’s so arrogant. Chao Hai Group was founded by him single-handedly.”

After hearing Zhou Chaohai’s identity, everyone was shocked. They had been curious about the identity of these elders who dared to directly block the Tang Family’s group. Now they understood that the influence of the Zhou Family in Hai City was not something the Tang Family could compare to; only the Gu Family could suppress the Zhou Family.

“You… are Zhou Chaohai.” Wang Xiaoxiao said with some fear.

Zhou Chaohai laughed smugly, feeling very satisfied with Wang Xiaoxiao’s display of fear.

“What do you think? Become my secretary; I can assure you the job won’t be tiring, and you’ll earn more than others. Think about it?” Zhou Chaohai said.

Wang Xiaoxiao was a girl with high demands for quality of life. Her clothes, bags, and cosmetics were all high-end brands. However, she also had the heart of a strong woman. Though she saved up for these things, she couldn’t take the route of being kept.

Wang Xiaoxiao understood what kind of job Zhou Chaohai meant by ‘secretary,’ but she wanted to obtain her desires through her efforts, not by doing this.

“I know you’re rich, but if my happiness is obtained this way, I won’t do it!” Wang Xiaoxiao said firmly.

Zhou Chaohai’s face showed some displeasure. He had rarely been interested in something like this, and it was rare for him to have an intention with Wang Xiaoxiao, but she actually refused?

“Humph, alright, then you can join the others in finding a job. Just a friendly reminder: as long as I say so, no company in Hai City will dare to hire!” Zhou Chaohai said.

Zhou Chaohai wasn’t just speaking for fun; Wang Xiaoxiao clearly understood the kind of fate awaiting her after Zhou Chaohai set his sights on her. However, she wouldn’t compromise because of this.

“The Tang Family is not so easily defeated. Chairman Tang’s personal ability is exceptional, and I believe she can overcome this crisis.” Wang Xiaoxiao said.

Zhou Chaohai laughed and said, “What use are her personal abilities? I can block everyone in Hai City from cooperating with the Tang Family; what can Tang Qiulu do about it? In my view, she’s just an ant, and your faith in her will ultimately lead to disappointment.”

Wang Xiaoxiao looked at the Tang Family members. Even in such a situation, none of them stepped forward to speak for the Tang Family. Some of these people were even leaders in the group, yet all of them were like turtles shrinking into their shells with the current situation.

Wang Xiaoxiao didn’t know that the Tang Family members had always been focused only on their own interests rather than caring about the group’s problems. These people had been living off the profits from the group, hoping for them to speak up for the group now was nothing but a wild wish.

Moreover, these people not only wouldn’t help speak up for the group, they’d resent Tang Qiulu. If it weren’t for Tang Qiulu offending these people, why would Zhou Chaohai target their group?

“None of you can contact Tang Qiulu? How does a heap of trash survive?” Zhou Chaohai asked, glancing around.

Not just employees, but the Tang Family’s relatives didn’t have the courage to meet Zhou Chaohai’s eyes at this moment; they lowered their heads, remaining silent.

Wang Xiaoxiao was equally helpless, so she said, “I’ll call Chairman Tang right now.”

In the hospital, Tang Qiulu was peeling an apple for Su Changfeng when her phone rang, showing Wang Xiaoxiao’s name on the screen. Her mind immediately connected the call to problems at the group, since she hadn’t been to the group for a few days and wasn’t aware of the current situation.

“Wang Xiaoxiao, what’s going on?” Handing the apple to Su Changfeng, Tang Qiulu asked.

“Chairman Tang, Zhou Chaohai and others are blocking the group entrance, preventing everyone from working.” Wang Xiaoxiao said.

Upon hearing the name Zhou Chaohai, Tang Qiulu instinctively frowned. This old fellow had previously been to the group because of Su Changfeng, and she couldn’t have expected he’d actually blockade the group’s door this time!

Tang Qiulu didn’t understand what was happening before, but now she realized clearly that the earlier visit from Zhou Chaohai and his men was to get Su Changfeng to join a competition. These old folks were members of an association, wanting Su Changfeng to win and boost their reputation.

However, now that Su Changfeng had lost the competition, these people would definitely think Su Changfeng had disgraced them and were causing trouble at the group because of it.

“Okay, I understand. I’ll head back to the group right away.” Tang Qiulu said.
